16 – Battle Of The Future Buddhas – The Thief, The Harlot And The Joker 9:41
“Made in 1998 or 99. It’s a sort of technoish funky thing, with a fun sample of Robert Duvall from the movie ‘The Apostle’. It’s also got a rather long and beat-matched sample from the legendary soul musician Curtis Mayfield’s most known song ‘Move On Up’. Refusing to be generic Goa trance.”

Mar 1998 or earlier / Source: DAT from Greek DJ / 150 BPM / Listed also as ‘Here Go Mess The Sun’ and by artist BOTFB. / “Very acidic this track, the break still works for me.

But the melodies are there, as well as a good feeling.” / There is also a version listed with duration 10:42. The two versions need to be compared.

Notes
• For some tracks it is not yet clear to which project they belong to (‘Deviate’ or ‘Afterglow’).
• “We called ourselves ‘Deviate’ first, but found out there were like 8 different bands called Deviate. Then we tried ‘Afterglow’, but found out it was taken as well… so we decided to take a name that absolutely no one else could possibly have taken or even considered using as a band name.”
• “I think maybe Magnus has a track called ‘Sjögräs’ or something. But except from that all ambient tracks are released.”
• According to Magnus Bladh, other rarities that might exist somewhere out there are:
– Mugmez & Weirdo Beirdo – New Moon (a cover of the Ayahuasca’s classic track). Might have been recorded as ‘Trivial Persuit’, or ‘Blue Buddhas’.
– Battle Of The Future Buddhas – Flowerstuff And SandWitch Things (downbeat)
– Unnamed (Mugmez & Robban from Vibrasphere) – Trubbelexir
• The track that circulated on DAT tapes as ‘Pixilated Baba’ is actually the track “Scahgblota – Front The Boeuf” released on VA/Psychoactive Scandasounds“.
