28 Gun Bad Boy
28 Gun Bad Boy is the third album by house music and drum and bass pioneer A Guy Called Gerald, released in 1993 through his own Juice Box Records imprint. The album is often credited as one of the first full-length drum and bass albums,[3] and its influence has been noted to have "brought the jungle movement out of the rave era."[4] The track "28 Gun Bad Boy" is seen as one of the first examples of drum and bass/oldschool jungle music.[5] ProductionThe album was produced at the Machine Room Studio, a recording studio in the city centre of Manchester. Electronic equipment used for the album's production include two Akai S950 samplers, an Akai MPC60 sequencer, Soundtracs Quartz 32-channel in-line mixing desk, Atari tape machine, Lexicon reverb, Lexicon delay, two Yamaha SBX90s, microphones, and an Atari ST running Cubase. "Disneyband" also used the sounds of a Roland JD-800 digital synthesizer.[4] According to Simpson, the album's sound was the result of him attempting to progress from his early style as well as the Rave scene of the early 1990s.[5] The central concept behind the album was to be produced similar to that of a mixtape, which has been inspired by live DJ sets according to Simpson.[4] The album was released through Juice Box Records, an independent label ran by Simpson as a result of his strained relationship with Sony Music,[4] more specifically, their refusal to release Simpson's High Life, Low Profile album which was recorded in 1991 as the follow-up to Automanikk.[6] Track listing
