Archive 1995 – Wild Rock Medley

2022-04-151995-04-15 by pierrej

Wild Rock was a popular compilation which was released on Mercury and when Wild Rock 2 was launched, it was time for a medley of songs from these two collections. We are talking about rock songs in radio versions that fades after 3 minutes, which is a nightmare to mix together.

In the first draft, I used the drums from “The Balroom Blitz” during “Sweet Home Alabama,” which sounded very good and also masked the somewhat dodgy time stretch that existed at that time. The record company thought it was a little too much “remix” so these drums were simply removed and the drums now started together with the chorus instead.

Next single by Tellus also reached great success. A top-20 placement on the Swedish Dance Chart, good sales and so it was licensed on over 10 compilations. The vocal is taken from the Gothenburg-based hip-hop group “Tha Brigade” first 12″. Really fun to legally borrow that phrase, because I knew some in the group. In addition to the master mixes, there is also a “303 Dub” where you can hear 2 Roland TB-303 play simultaneously.

This is the first time it is available as a digital download.

After having participated in 19 records during 1994, the time was right to start an own project, Tellus.

The debut single “Pump Up The Volume” was released and the success was instant. It went straight up on the important “Swedish Dance Chart” and stayed top 10 for a very long time, with a peak at number 4.

In addition to the commercial title track, you find 2 house-trax.
