>Well, there's a set of 3 compilations (plus some Best Of CDs from some of >the Nu Groove roaster) available on Hot, but that track isn't on any of >them, AFAIK. (What is that track, anyway? It doesn't ring a bell. The Prince Of Dance Music L. B. Bad Presents: "The True Story Of House" Nu Groove ng 033 L B Bad stands for La Mont Booker who in 1988 released (under the LB BAD moniker)one the bigest ever"deep" house tunes (This Dream is Real-It's Not a dream) on his own "La Rhon" label(la Rhon26) (i read it's Shamen's Mr C fav track) made the "true Story Of House" ep in 89 for NuGroove,It's a six track ep with 4 versions of "Body Mechanix" another track called "i'm so Alone" , And what made it so collectbl "New Age Bonus Track - The New Age Of Faith" Act 1 The sea - Birth , Act 2 The Land - life Act 3 The Stars - Faith in Heaven while Body Mechanix was an "old school" ,bit campy,house tune most dj picked up on , some other dj's ( like LX Peterson)picked up on the beatless"New Age Bonus Track -The New Age Of Faith" which together with tracks like:Virgo-Under u,Knuckles-your love etc presented a new style in dance for those early years - Ambient . someone that must have heard it was Andrew Weatherall,who have taken it and remade it into a huge hit under his"Sabres Of Paradise" (who's first record was also a remake of Throbing Gristles - united) anyway the "new" track by the Sabres called "Smokebelch" became huge for them.Pretty soon there were a part 2,a white label remix by David Holmes,and more versions on the Sabres Of Paradise Lp (which i think was on Warp),of course the original Nu Groove rekid became a very sought after item due to all this,and since all this happened after the demise of Nu Groove (unlike other rekids on the label that "blew big"while the label was still around( Boby Kondors-House Rhythm comes to mind)this was not repressed and bootleged straight away,and was like impossible to find a couple of years ago Dj Hell did a rerelease of it with some remixes for his Gigolo label,i remember listenin to it,and i was realy surprised to find out he left the"The New Age Of Faith" out as this was what most ppl wanted this for,There were also "white Label" coppies on Hardwax's list a couple of years ago,i don't know what exactly was on them tho. As for LB BAD i know he actualy lives in Berlin(which explains the Hardwax conection) and still releasing rekids on his La Rhon label(last one i bought was # 33 in 96 ,but i think they are up to 40something now) other LBB stuff came out around 1990 under his Lord K.C.B guise as for Nu Groove Compilations , i only know of the 2 that were on Network (green one was quite good) there were also some cd compilation,and a lot of stuff got bootleged check the Nu Groove discography i've done at: http://ad.techno.org/ e,r
