The analog theater by CJ Bolland. One of my favorite techno lps. This, Orbital and the old Aphex twin are what influences older vac in our techno sound back in the day. I pulled this out recently and listened to and realized. I’ll start with the mega hit video first. But do not judge this whole LP by this first video, most of this LP sounds like Dimension 8 by VAC. We were heavily influenced by this while making old electro VAC. I really love this video below, so live action anime!

The big hit off this record was “Sugar is Sweeter” with guest vocals from Nikkie Van Lierop from old lords of acid. One of the more memorable techno hits from the 90s. I really miss those days. I found music to have more soul then, even in the 90s. The production on this record is really unique. It has this warm verbed out sound, this really nice spacey sound that a lot of the new records lack in electronic music. Back then I used to really be into really be into techno compilations. I first discovered CJ bollard on the “UNIVERSE” compilation. That comp had afx aka apex twin on it, so I bought it for that and was surprised by CJ Bolland. My favorite song off this LP is Obsidian, then Sugar is Sweeter. I also really like Kung Kung Ku, and Pesticide.

If you like Prodigy Fat of the land, and orbital anything, check this out. This is one of the most under rated artists in the scene back then. I just felt the need to expose this gem to my fans.   I give this lp a 7 out of 10. Click here to buy audio cd.

    Yeah, I really like the stuff I know of him. He did an awesome remix on the “no good” single of Prodigy back in ´94. I think there were also some bad blood between Prodigy and CJ Bolland, because Prodigy thought “sugar is sweeter” is an rip off of “poison”. Nonetheless both songs rock =)

    Here is a better link to the sugar daddy video.
    I don’t what is going on with the other link, but the audio in the left channel is missing or suppressed.
