Shackleton Appreciation

Couple of old unreleased Shackleton tracks on the new Hotflush compilation :scream::scream: as well as loads of other tracks I’m mad excited to hear

soz if you got excited about me bumping this topic

Almost nutted expecting a surprise announcement

My biggest problem with behind the glass (and devotional songs really) was actually the vocals. They weren’t bad or anything, but there’s a fair few points in both albums where I feel like it detracted from the beats. I think it works with vengeance tenfold because he sounds like a vocal sample Shackleton tends to use (spoken delivery, kind of held up by the instrumental rather than laid over it and overly processed)

Does anyone have a copy of Skull Disco 001, and is able to send me a high quality scan/photo of the front cover?

@faultier rinsing those Skull Disco lately?

Kind of gutted I parted with the records I sold around that time.

Bruce dropped this on Friday, what a fucking tune

Innit. The versions on the fabric mix of pretty much all his released tunes are so sick, especially massacre and new dawn :cannon:

Just need to get 001 & 002 to complete my skull disco collection. Missing the Ricardo villabos one, but not really fussed on that tbh

I don’t say this lightly, but that Fabric cd is probably one of the finest pieces of music in existence. In my opinion of course.

I just need 001 & 002 as well. I think they’re the only ones that haven’t been repressed.

Fabric 55 is honestly one of my favourite albums ever. Idc if people don’t call it one, it’s just so fucking good.

sorry to hear :frowning:

still very happy to have added them to the collection and being able to play them

lately was kinda toying with the idea of selling some dubstep bits i dont listen to or play anymore and your post is making me reconsider…

Was literally thinking earlier when we’re next due for some more Shackleton :gunfinger: at work atm so I’ll check when I get a minute

Liking this so far. Wasn’t big on the vocals for devotional songs & behind the glass so hoping it’s not too much like that. Either way, big news

Yeah looking forward to hearing the full thing after the clip tbh!
