Oh I wish I could get back to Glasgow for this

Victory Horns Jacob's Pillow Victory Horns is in my top five On-U Sound productions. Simply everything about it is sublime and as I've said before just play it as LOUD as you can  and luxuriate in Adrian Sherwood's production...and here's Inside Out that Jesse wrote and Odyssey had a massive hit with. This is with Doug and Skip soundchecking live back in 2006 From Compression + ...and the foot of this post tells the tale of where my old PE teacher and Jesse made me nearly have a heart attack
