Someone mentioned Symbols & Instruments “Mood” as a good example of “early” (in this case, Chris Nazuka, Derrick Carter, Mark Farina). Which immediately made me think of something else, which is an all-time favourite of mine, and (coincidentally) happens to be another early Derrick Carter track (with George Andros, this time, IIRC): [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/djhistory/original/2X/6/6cf0b9173cd8329dab87b1eb76bcc2dc383e25f2.jpeg "24-7-365 - The Love You Saved Techno 1 LP") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4dZBltF_lk) What’s your favourite “early” track? ---

I love that compilation. I remember seeing Tony Humphries play a track from it at The Brixton Academy and went to ask for “the techno compilation with the bright orange cover” at Black Market a few days later. The truculent guy serving pretended he didn’t know what I meant because as far as he was concerned, the cover was bright blue. ---

Although some people are actually colourblind. I am one of them. Remember thinking purple Warp and R&S sleeves were blue. ---

I think we came to an agreement that it was blue and orange, but in true Black Market fashion he made sure I knew he was really doing me a favour by letting me buy it. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/djhistory/original/2X/7/7cb3c2aadc82bfd906c35fb502a7aab771516c8f.jpeg) ---

An astounding Lil’ Louis remix from 1993.

Just reporting that I did indeed purchase the aforementioned record. £2. Would file under Tory if I owned enough records to justify a filing system. ---

Yes! I shall go in and have a proper look now you’ve said that. I’ve already started buying back stuff I’ve got rid of. Perhaps two or three times. [Next page](https://djhistory.discourse.group/t/early-favourites-slept-on-well-i-never-s/977.md?page=2)
