yep - apart from a couple of 'fillers'(which would still be great if not compared to his best tunes) he's probably the most consistently good producer i can think of that's been linked to this scene. i loved the way that his tracks would make you think they couldn't take you any higher and then they go the extra mile. jaw droppingly good.

by this scene i'm meaning the areas where HT, NRG and acid overlap (which i guess is quite specific). i can see why he's not getting as much of a look in by those who are into the more house oriented HH. i dig weirdo for his consistency. maybe it would be different if he had a larger output but i feel most of the other names mentioned in this thread don't have the consistency down (except maybe Janes' and Parkeseys anthems). i think for the time the tunes came out there was a real attention to detail that a lot of other producers didn't have nailed (those that did i feel were on a much more minimal tip than the 'tinribised' stuff)

I was never into his stuff all along but the last few sets I've played I've slipped a few of his tracks in, epic stuff

One of the producers I always respected a lot. The musicality and originality of the arrangments in his stuff was miles beyond what anyone else did in hard house. I know a Plaice was my favourite - used to absolutely hammer that tune, still gives me goosebumps now!

I don't know if I just didn't like his sound or whatever back in the late 90's/00's but I never bought a single Weirdo track (yet I had a load of Tinrib records) eeek

Yet since this thread came up, I went on the net for a listen and ended up buying a few Weirdo tunes and can't believe I missed or disregarded these back then!

I have to say though I agree with Paul. For me, I know A Plaice is fucking brilliant and the best out the bunch for me. thumbsup

But I did also like Beyond, We Decide, Get On The Floor, Ghost Stick thumbsup

I think i'd have to be in a club to appreciate just how good his tunes really are for the "journey" type feel etc.

There are not many tracks that I can still remember the first time I heard them being played, but I can clearly remember the first time I heard Curva Peligrosa... I was outside the room it was being played in and just ran in and was like what the fuck is this! It was like someone just switched the lights on, I dont think my brain had even registered the track before it

People have mentioned the crispness of his productions but I have to wonder how much of that was down to Jon Bell to be honest, but his chord progressions etc were amazing, definitely one of the best producers but I think it would be hard to say he is THE best to be fair
