you know that baseline that sounds like a slightly tweaked version of the baseline from 'White Lines' by Grandmasta Flash?
According to my good friend Shane, that bass line was taken from a Psychic TV song, who took it from "White Lines" and tweaked it and used it in the song 'Tune In, Turn on the Acid House', from what is commonly acknowledged to be the first 'techno' album of all time, Jack the Tab.
I've got it at home, I haven't listened to it in years, I'll check it out when I get home from work.

I read an interview where they talked about that particular bassline.
Hell, I don't even remember what it is, but I'm pretty sure it's not Psychic TV or Grandmaster Flash.
I have the interview somewhere, but I can't even remember what magazine it's from.
I hate getting old. The memory is starting to go.
Someone here will know.

Csar Escribi�:
hey 'stash, that would be cool if you could sort it out!
I think I only have it on vinyl, and our turntable is all fux0red... Psychic TV is one of those bands that's so obscure that you can never find em for download.
I was at work late last night, and when I got home I got sucked into the new Star Wars xbox game, but I'll try to look tonight, see if it is on the CD... one of the problems with PTV though was that they loved fuckin with archivists and collectors, so they'd release the same, or nearly the same things over and over again with a slightly different track listing or a different title, or the same title with completely different songs.

I can't believe nobody's solved the Come Inside riddle! Somebody *has* to know!!
This was driving me crazy last night, so I went through all the magazines I saved that had interviews from when after Push The Button came out. I was just skimming over the articles, but I couldn't find anything. It could be that I don't have that magazine anymore which is a shame, because the Chems went into the more technical aspects of how they got certain sounds for Push The Button. Maybe I'll go back and try rereading everything rather than quickly glancing at the interviews.

from a xfm review
?Come Inside? (which sees ?White Lines (Don?t Do It)? reworked with slap bass, horn stabs and frantically muddled guitar plucking) are probably closest in form to traditional Chems tracks, but things soon veer off the easy path.

Friggen finally!!
It's amazing what you dig up when you're packing up all your stuff getting ready to move.
Anyway, I found a copy of February 2005 Remix Magazine where I read originally read about this bassline. As stated by the mag about Come Inside:
Still no mention of what the song really is, and I know this interview must've been posted before... hmm.

Anyway, I found a copy of February 2005 Remix Magazine where I read originally read about this bassline. As stated by the mag about Come Inside:
"Come Inside" is nearly this album's "It Began in Afrika", with a groovealicious bass riff fron Larry Graham (of Sly & The Family Stone) and a storming drum groove that is pure trouble funk. "That is an Akai S7000 sampler loops of a Fender Precision bass played with an [Empirical Labs EL8] Distressor compressor," Rowlands says. "I had triggers, like every eight or 16 bars, then just found a really weird place fro the loop to sit. The popping snare drum is from a Swedish jazz record; it had a really good flam and sounded really open. We doubled the snare with the Elektron Machinedrum, just trying to get that propulsive, pushing-on feeling to the beat. A lof of the sounds on the track are processed EMS Synthi. And there is a tambourine loop, too."

I love reading the tech interviews! It's awesome to find out how much time and effort and creativity they put into the smallest details of their tracks. That's why they sound so unique. 8) 8) 8)

X-D Things like this are good to know, puts and end to months of tortured lost sleep agonizing over little things like bass lines! Just kidding of course.
