Organ Donors - Oldskool Autopsy [Tidy]

21:08 - September 3, 2008

by davehart

If you enjoy your old skool records then this brand new album from Hard House artists the Organ Donors may be right up your street. Blending their style with classic old records of yesterday with a surprisingly good outcome...

The Organ Donors have been at the pinpoint of the Hard Dance scene throughout the last ten years and continue to push the limits of Hard House, hard Dance and hard style. This latest release from the surgeons takes them dissecting music from yesterday and giving it a surgical makeover fit for today’s dance floors. Not just any old music though but those old skool classics you used to bang out shapes to as far back as the 80's.

The end result is one disc brimmed with quality choons and banging beats. Those old skool piano riffs are there, vocal samples you used to chant like a good one but mixed together with Organ Donors familiar pumping Hard House beat.

I could have easily missed this gem of an album as only picked it up by chance while browsing through some of the latest releases. Truth be known I've not heard a lot from the Organ Donors this year, just the odd track here and there and a small glimpse of them live earlier in the summer. I've been missing out from the sounds of it as I'm glad I picked this one up.

Is it an artist album or a mix compilation? It's both as aside from a few collaborations on here with ALex Kidd, Dr. Willis and Vinylgroover it's all the creation of the Organ Donors. Obviously they have drawn a little inspiration from some very well known records with some quite crazy additions mixed in for good measure. It's a well know fact that the Dance music industry does tend to recycle the same records and churn them out again and again but when its done correctly you appreciate the work gone in to get the result. Don’t expect cheesy remakes to be found here but well reworked gems that flow one after the other.

The KLF are familiar with bootlegging tracks and ripping samples off so its always fitting to see one of their tracks get a makeover, its not as if they are going to sue after all. It's with the 'What Time Is Love' that kicks this album off after a short intro that feeds in some classic old skool samples. The intro does make you want to go and find those original tracks as I heard a few samples form some old beauties I've not had one for a while. Once the pleasure starts it just doesn’t end with this album.

The opening half hour of the CD does have a different taste to the rear half though with the tracks being more on the Hard House style with the gripping remake of an Activ8 classic that really is 'Top One Nice One Get Sorted!'. Moby's Go gets the harder treatment with its epic breakdown in there, albeit tweaked a little then fed into the hard beats with a bang. I like in here how the classic samples on a few tracks like the break beat's and piano riffs are fed into the mix that almost fools you into thinking you've got Old Skool Euphoria one. That thought is soon swept away as the Organ Donors bang in a thunderous bass line like they do with their inception of Inner City's Good Life.

Anticappella's classic 2v231 is one of the best records on this album for me. The mixture of a bouncing beat and injections of the classic piano break just do the business for me. It's almost enough to give you an erection its that good, although that’s just my opinion. After that track though the disc turns on a more Hardstyle feel with that gabber pulsating beat with sounds chopping in and out. It reaches a crazy moment when the Super Mario Brothers theme tune drops in there for the first time. It's hard dance music on acid and is a real highlight, just for the amusing nature of it. No limits for the Organ Donors though as they have made a pretty good job of mixing a classic 80's video game theme into a banging hard dance record to go mad over.

The album is get harder towards the end and does keep up the strange flow with random phone conversations from a couple of friends off to a party. It's a real Tidy Boys style 'What the hell was that?' inclusion on the album. All good things have to come to an end and it beats the usual fade out on every other mix album.

Conclusion:
I found this album most refreshing and surprisingly good from what was just an impulse buy. The Organ Donors have transformed some of my classic old records and given them a fresh breath of life. The mixture of Hard House and classic samples fuse together perfectly. It's one I enjoyed from start to finish and would definitely recommend adding to your record collection.
