According to this article, Computer Madness and other tracks were actually produced by Wes Green, at the age of 16. Steve has basically stolen them. Green is now trying to reclaim his rights.

Edited 19 years agoAlthough I love the simplicity of 'Work That Muthafucka', my track of choice on this EP is 'Computer Madness', as it shows how massive a Filtered Synth line can sound, fed through a reverb effect - simple, but POWERFUL!!

Edited 20 years agoBack in 1994 I was able to order this "Beyond Ultra Rare" (per Under One Sky 'zine description) record from Gramaphone Records in Chicago!
I got it in the mail and - you guessed it - it sounded like (literally) someone had taken sandpaper and rubbed both sides for a few minutes. Completely unplayable. But at any rate, this was a classic track, one that I used to play out at every college house party back then. "Computer Madness" is a very nice spooky acidic techno track - great for long segueways - "Born to Freak" is a nice little 303 number.

Work That Mutha Fucker - The prototype ghetto track has long been a favorite amongst the underground track-heads. Too count the remixes, bootlegs, remakes and mash-ups would be impossible. 15 years later, this track captures the pure essence of minimal track work. A simplistic 4/4 Casio RZ-1, all by itself with a repetitive vocal sample...play this and presto...instant party.

Work That Mutha Fucker was made using just a Casio RZ-1 drum machine! As well as providing all the drum sounds on the track it had a little sampler built in with only a 1.6s memory. Just enough time to say...
Again, originals red, represses black. Fantastic EP, every track a winner. -
"Work That Mutha Fucker" had the hardest bassline until 1989. After The Fall of Chicago House one of rare successful releases in techno-house aera from the "Windy City". Also "Computer Madness" was a very progressively experimental acid production which is an influence to build innovative labels like "Warp Records". These tracks are now immortal and they will be it in the future too.
