About:
Contents
The World's first futurefunk sample CD. As terminalhead put it: "There are no rules. There are no BPMs. There are no keys. There is only the need for PuSHing the boundaries of people's perception into ways of creating music for tomorrow that fully embraces all technologies and forges solid bonds with all that is known to funk and groove. This CD should arm you with the material that has been borne out of some serious experimentation and is in every way nothing other than unique." As they say the artwork doesn't include any BPMs, keys or much description - but that is what it is all about.
You'll understand when you hear it.

CD feature's:
Pete's Drum Loops & Chops
Assorted drum loops. Distorted, filtered and phat. Watch them bass bins flap.
Pete's Lo-Fi Drum Loops and Chops
Drums and drum effects utilising 8 and 4 bit lo-fi cruch technology. Sizeable and hard.
Funky Crunch Gate Corner
Created using many sound sources. Sample, fly in and enjoy - they're funky. Try triggering them in different parts of the bar. Also includes many 4 and 8 bit loops. Warning - some of the sounds are REALLY hard.
Synth Riffs/Sounds
Assortment of usable synth lines, sounds and sequences. Once again, created using a cross section of old analogue boxes, some crunchy filters and 4/8 bit processing. Sample the bits you like, shut your eyes and fly 'em in.
Greg's Funky Hard Chops
Hard as nails, but smooth as silk. You're certain to find a chop or rhythmic phrase to suit your track.
Dub FX
Loads of fresh sexy, NEW dub effects to spice up your track. Treat with love, care and respect.
Pascal Benadjaoud Percussion
This time delivering new grooves for terminalhead, using bongos, congas, darbuka, tambourines, triangles, shakers and vocals. Pascal gets phased, phreaked and dubbed out.
Shortwave Strangeness
Best reapings from many a cold, dark night in front of the trusty old tranny.
Misc. Unusualness
An odd assortment of those hard to categorise sounds.
Greg's Trippy Oddness
An unusual collection of very usuable processed guitar.
Synth Effects
Many very weird, wonderful and wide synthetic effects.
Analogue Pads and Sweeps
A collection of filter sweeps and beautiful organic moments.

All highly processed and grunged up big time including some 4-bit processing. All specially recorded, distorted, filtered and phat

More info on the Producer
terminalhead are Pete Marett and Lee Groves who has been involved in the production of many of AMG's most successful CDs over the years but this is the first he has produced himself. This CD is incredibly inspiring and current. You won't find any more current library for modern dance music. terminalhead's debut LP will be released in late 98 on Push Records.

Review Highlights
"Raunchy, raw, and rude: Three "R" words that describe the audio material you'll get on the Terminalhead CDs. That's meant as a compliment...you'll find lots to get excited about and inspired by: crunchy drum and guitar loops, oddball sound effects, wicked synth lines, spacy analog synth events, and more...And to assure the audio gets dirty enough, the producers downsampled or sample-converted much of the material so that it's only 8- or even 4-bit. Grunge City!...I really appreciate the variety of drum loops, which range from fairly straight-ahead to absolutely monstrous -- with a decided multitude of the latter...The processing is so thick it's tasteful, and the hooks are infectious. Some of the best feature digitally sliced-and-diced vocals..."AMG has been one of the world's most consistent producers of great loop CDs over the past few years," Greg concluded, "and Terminalhead does not disappoint." - Keyboard (USA), Dec 97.

Credits
Terminalhead have their own record label - Push Recordings - and are establishing a big name for themselves and their stable of artists.

Format Information
GENERAL - Akai S1000 CD-ROMs work with not only the S1000 and S1100 but many other hard and software samplers that support the format too such as the EXS24, Reason and many hardware samplers. If you're not sure check if your sampler supports S1000 format AND exactly how well, it varies and a native format is always preferable if available.
PRODUCT SPECIFIC - This CD-ROM features all the drum and performance loops sliced up in programs that you can load and either play each slice as it is mapped across the keyboard or use the supplied MIDI Files to re-create the original loop and edit as you wish. This is an extremely powerful system allowing you quick and easy loop editing. Non-performance samples and full versions of the loops are also included in banks for quick auditioning too if you prefer to work this way.
