A compilation of tracks written between 1998 and 1999 when I was at my most productive and following on from 'Spherical Flow'.

I was now composing in Steinberg Cubasis VST on a PC had just bought an original Korg MS20 and spend hours creating new sounds for a demo (including 2Deep, Quickshot III, MS20 (called mstrax II)) that went on a white label at 'Hash (SUB#) records' (part of The True Love Collective). They took a chance that the world was ready for this sound, but no one listened and now after 20 years here it is for all to enjoy.

Tracks 13-24 are mixes and older tracks that I thought you might lke to have a listen to and also some analog synth noodlings.

Again progression of my signature style can be heard developing further by mixing together more styles and influences from the past and that period.

I would like to thank in no particular order The Two Lone Swordsmen, B12, Aphex Twin, Autechre, 808 State, Dave Angel, Andrea Parker, David Morley, Underground Resistance, Drexciya, Speedy J, Basic Channel, Maurizio, Dan Curtin, Dave Clarke, Aux-88, The Advent, Man Parrish and the body popping electro-bass-funk of the 80's for the inspiration.

Most of the tracks were recorded to Sony DAT and some to metal position tape (no automation here!) on a Sony Dolby S deck and now remastered in Ableton Live using iZotope Ozone in 24-BIT for release on Bandcamp.

I'm continuing to unveil my back catalog and publishing this so you can follow me on a journey to what is now the Rayspark Industries sound.

I hope you enjoy the journey.
