WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
Frankie “Bones” presents BONESBREAKS Volume 2 ‘Raw Beats For D.J.s’ (US Underworld Records AP 135)
Less formally structured than Todd Terry’s releases maybe but just as hot, this beats, breaks, megamixes and acid house crammed eight-track 12 incher’s most complete, samples studded creations are the Incredible Bongo Band underpinned maniacally megamixing 0-117-0bpm ‘At My House (The Apachies/NY Acid Dust Mix)’, striding twittery 0-121¼-121bpm ‘And the Break Goes Acid (The Break Boys/UK Acid Remix)’, bumpily lurching 120⅔-0bpm ‘Bacardi 151 Beats‘, and to a lesser extent the Ike Hayes wukka-wuk and Big Daddy Kane whining “noise” (I wish someone would remind me what it’s from!) combined throbbing 120-0bpm ‘Shafted Off‘, more basic breaks being the orgasmically climaxed monotonous 119bpm ‘Basic Break Tracks’, repetitively jittering 117¼-0bpm ‘Funky Acid Makossa (the Apachies/Acid Beats)‘, ‘Think (About It)’ sampled punctuated drily jittering 0-121¼-0bpm ‘On The Beat Now (Ramo’s Revenge)’ and drumming slow 88⅓bpm ‘Jamming Breakdown’.
