Aye, he works for a Glasgow hifi shop. I spoke to him in the shop a couple of years later and told him about it. He had absolutely no idea and I could tell he thought I was a crack pot.

I went to melting pot frequently in my early twenties for a good few years running, always had the hope it would get played again.
I quite like getting old and fat but I really miss my raving days.

It was Andrew Pirie playing (one half of the Melting Pot resident djs). Was maybe around 120bpm. There was like a 2 second break(I always mind this guy whistled during the silence like he knew and loved the tune) then it dropped and thats when I became aware of it... This synthy sound was a bit like what I think folk in the biz would call The Sizzle combined with a sort of lazer beamy wobbly bass noise. Then there was this sound that I can only describe as being similar to the loud scary noise that the monsters made
in the 2005 War or the worlds! Fuck!
I still remember it so vividly.
Its annoying because I know that Andrew Pirie plays vinyl only sets at Melting Pot. I know for a fact that he has the record sitting there in the collection somewhere. So near yet so far.
