DBX – Losing Control

I think I have this version and has NSC in the runout. Does anyone agree?

Great release, but plastic cover it was released in gave off gas & ruined the vinyl. Anybody knows how to fix this let me know. Has released from plastic caused a hissing sound.

Carl Craig- Robert Hood-Richie Hawtin- Need I say more! Was an instant classic and still rocks dem floors!

This record is deadly in the hands of a good DJ....like me; ) lol

braindead music :( for those who need advise to drop xD (vocals in techno are always rubbish)

Spock's Brain .... Brain twistingly good! A mind traveler adventurer..

I first heard this track sometime in the mid 90's when dial up speeds meant that you couldn't really full tracks and one site had the brilliant idea of just serving up short loops of some tracks. The deadpan voice sounded pretty cool, nice round kick. I filed it away in my mind. I was really surprised when I heard the whole thing a few years later and realized that it pretty much is that loop for however long. I didn't know anyone would have the balls to do that. So repetitive! So techno! Like a finger raised to all who claimed techno was just the same thing over and over.

When you think about it what could be more controlled than just kick and one bar emotionless vocal loop going on forever? So the track is actually quite paranoid - it's as if it's worried that things will fall apart before it even happens. I guess if you let the full thing play out it does fall apart - the filters come in and a strange background howl takes over. You could think about it as a guy afraid to let go even the slightest bit, losing his mind in one of those self-fulfilling loops that an anxious mind can enter into.

In this way it's different from a track like , the sound coming right back to Chicago.

I guess I'll leave off a final bit of trivia where the success of this track is said to have inspired Josh Wink to do a similar thing with Don't Laugh. I like this one much better. Both got Hawtin remixes...

i've heard a remix of "Spock's Brain" in a Rhadoo set.
anyone has an idea wich remix exactly?

dont buy the peacefrog press !! ( not the remix ep ) the sound is awful , zero dynamics etc - BAD DEAL

'Loosing Control' is an undeniable classic that caused bedlam on the techno circuit worldwide. 'Spoks Brain' rarely get's a mention, which is an injustice, as its perhaps one of the greatest examples of analog sci-fi inspired moodyness & a classic in it's own right. Hard to pick a favourite between this & the 'Ghetto Tracks' E.P, both are DBX highlights. Watch out for the repress- badger your seller to confirm that your copy has the type face writing as pictured above, along with 'IN SIDE' and 'OUT SIDE'- Otherwise its a later re-press. If you check the pictures, they are obviously different...
