Insomniacs

[noel411]

Sorry if i already did a thread about this. I was supposed to, n i thought i did, but it doesn't look like i did.

The guys who produced the second Victor Vaughan album. From what I recall there was actually some kind of competition to c who would produce that album?

Anyway, their production is nuts. That shit is my second fave Doom release, after madvilliany. Fall back/titty fat is my fave Doom track. That beat is wild.

Just wondering, did the Insomniacs do anything else worthwhile? I know I looked them up in the past and couldn't find much. I still have that VV cd. From what i recall there's info about them n their other projects in the booklet. I'll have a look if I don't forget before I make it downstairs.

I'll have a look if I don't forget before I make it downstairs.

I have the album too but I'm too lazy to go upstairs so I had a look on Discogs. Insomniac turns out to be the label the album was put out on and the producers are a varied bunch of guys who all won the contest you referred to

that guy IZ-REal who is all over the album is the label head (and rapper) IIRC

I dig this album too, the beats have a samey vibe so I'm not surprised you thought one producer / producer team handled all the beats. so very well put together on the beat front by the label and the various producers

btw my fav track off the album is Ode To Road Rage and my fav feature is Kool Keith

Thanks Hal, I did completely forget about it before I got downstairs. As expected.

Definitely would've thought at least the bulk of it would've been the same producer(s). I must've never had a proper look at it. I might have to look up some of those cunts. I used to actually have a compilation cd by the cunt who did Ode To Road Rage, Dub-L. Pretty average, from memory. But yeah, that track is great. Really dark, sinister beat.

[Rev Jones]

really looking at that producer list it's only now I notice Diplo is on there. this must have been before he became such a famous artist/producer. maybe this was part of his launching pad, so to speak

in fact I wasn't even sure it was the same guy, but the link below confirms it

I tried to find that 'Blue Beards Dreams' on YT but it's not on there unfortunately

[noel411]

I have no idea who Diplo is, lols. I fuc'n love that beat tho. I'll have to look the cunt up. I wanna look up a few of these cunts when I get the chance. I looked up the cunt(s) who did Fall back/titty fat, n couldn't find anything.

Fuc'n crazy that those 2 beats r by different cunts. Would've bet my life the same cunts did those 2 beats.

Like u said, fuc'n great job making this album so cohesive with all the different producers. Absolutely sounds like it was all the same producers who put it together.
