I’ve been meaning to post this topic for a while.

We always hear people ranting and raving about Simons first 2 albums.
Ask around, and 70% of all Simon fans will say their favorite track is “Shamanix” or “Horrorgram” or “Fluoro Neuro Sponge” (seriously!)
I think its due time that we gave respect to the lesser known and less popular Hallucinogen tracks that blow Shamanix out of the roof.

First off,

Bubble n’ Tweak - This song appears only on the game Gran Turismo 4, or the GT4 music cd.
This song is absolutely un-f***ing-believable! It’s a real shame that most people havn’t heard it.
The throbbing beat and hypnotic basslines rip through my brain like no other Posford track could ever dream!
It has to be Simons deepest, most throbbing, flowing, earthy track ever made!
Twisted needs to make this gem of a track more easily available. I’m sure it would quickly become a favorite.

Second,

Pipeworm - Many have heard it, but far too many have not!
Honestly, and truly, from the bottom of my heart (err…brain),
this is my most favorite Hallucinogen track of ALL TIME.
I think this song is less known because it came from a rather letdown album.
God Save the Machine got rather poor reviews, and I think it really hindered the potenial of this “god-like” song.
I don’t know what Simon does in this one, but this track takes me on the deepest voyage and creates the most incredible atmosphere of any other Hallucinogen track.
From the high glitchy opening, to the mid-song throbbing growls, to the insane “liquideous” percussion, this song is #1 on my list!

Why is it that no one ever mentions Gamma Goblins Pt 2?!
This has got to be Simons trippiest, most mindboggling, trip into insanity he has ever created!
It was the first Posford track I fell in love, and to this day, stands as one of my top favs.

Other “Lesser Mentioned / Lesser Known” tracks worth mentioning:
Spiritual Aniseptic
Spike
Synthesizzler
The Herb Garden
E

I hope I’ve made my point! :D
Any comments? Suggestions?

The two Ozric Tentacles remixes always seem to be overlooked

I got your point! And also, that’s why I think it wouldt be great to make an album with old Hallucinogen tracks, that aren’t on any Hallucinogen album.

And by the way - does anyone know where to get Gamma Goblins part 1?

I’ve done my own compilations with the tracks released on early tip albums but it would be nice to have a proper album of the tracks.

Gamma Goblins pt 1 was released on an early Tip album but I can’t remember which at the mo, my mate has it so will ask.  It was also released on a cd single Twsc1 on Twisted in 1996 the track list was:-

1. Deranger
2. Gamma Goblins
3. Synthesizzler

:D :D

Sorry about the double post..

Petradon remix is excellent and will worth tracking down as it is more down tempo than his usuall stuff.

I agree also that pipeworm is also outstanding - love it!! The rest of the God Save album is high quality… :D

gamma goblins was the first release on twisted records. the b side to Deranger. TWST1
and TWSC1

But it’s not available more.. :(?

I also want it :!:

I absolutely forgot about the pteranadon remix!
It is a fantastic track.
Thank you for mentioning it.  :D

Ps: How many of you guys have heard Bubble n’ Tweak?

Yep, I like it, sounds a little different to his other stuff (since it’s for a game), but I don’t mean that it’s worse than the other tracks, to me it just has a slight different touch, but still a Posford touch.

Bubble’n'Tweak threw me at first because it’s a bit slower than I expected, but I really really like it now

I haven’t heard Bubble n Tweak, is it available on a cd release at all??

Agh! That’s the shitty part about electronic music, artists have so many diff versions and remixes and work with other ppl and it’s hard to collect everything and put it in one place, cause I would personally liek the sooner or later officialy own every single/cd that simon has put out, of course other artists too!
