Congrats Disco. We had our first dance to this Herbert remix. Been together for 20, married for 12 of them, testimony to Mrs FDC's patience and resolve more than anything.
I actually couldn't believe that and had to look it up . Bonkers.

You might want that to be true, but objectively the history of dealing with authorities as a black person is different to the history of dealing with authorities as a white person. Racial hierarchies are a historical fact, and you can't separate how racism operates from that
Been playing around with Deepseek, asked it about the drum sample in this track (which is flipping brilliant)
It said
The drum sound in **"Release the Pressure" by Leftfield** is a distinctive, ringing, metallic tone that has become iconic in the track. It is widely believed to be a **processed or sampled steel drum**, though it has been heavily manipulated to create its unique sound. Here's a breakdown of how this sound might have been achieved:
1. **Steel Drum Sample**: The original sound could be derived from a steel drum or similar metallic percussion instrument. Steel drums naturally produce a bright, ringing tone, which fits the description of the sound in the track.
2. **Pitch Shifting and Processing**: Leftfield were known for their innovative use of sampling and studio processing. The steel drum sound was likely pitch-shifted, filtered, and processed with effects like reverb, delay, or distortion to give it a more electronic and otherworldly quality.
3. **Layering with Electronic Drums**: The sound might also be layered with electronic drum samples or synthesized tones to enhance its impact and make it fit seamlessly into the track's electronic production.
4. **Reverb and Delay**: The ringing tone is accentuated by the use of reverb and delay, which give the sound a spacious, atmospheric quality. This is a hallmark of Leftfield's production style, creating a sense of depth and immersion.
If you're looking to recreate this sound, you could start with a steel drum sample or a metallic percussion sample, then experiment with pitch shifting, filtering, and effects like reverb and delay. Alternatively, you could explore synthesizers or drum machines that allow you to create metallic, ringing tones from scratch.
Leftfield's production techniques were groundbreaking at the time, and their ability to blend organic and electronic elements is a big part of what makes *"Release the Pressure"* such a memorable track.
Dead ball delivery was very poor which was frustrating given their much cited weakness at defending from crosses.
I also thought our strategy of playing out from the back via long balls down the left for Frey to chase was flawed, I don't think Frey won that race once in the first half.

He does look a class act. But he does like to get handsy at corners doesn't he? Watching the highlights back he's literally clinging on to one of their players for the corner they nearly scored from. I know it's the kind of thing that happens at every corner but he's very blatant about it .
