Guest r2d2 Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Anyone that knows more info about Adam Boyd? I believe he was one of the original members of Slinky Wizard and had something to do with managing Flying Rhino before he died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest r2d2 Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Here's what the link says: "As with many such groups, the history of this trance outfit goes back to the parties in Goa of the early 90s. Dominic Lamb began DJing at acid house clubs in London in 1988. Two years later he was travelling in India and met Adam Boyd in Goa, where they developed an interest in the techno-trance sound being played there. Lamb then DJed in Goa and around the world before returning to the UK in 1992, when he and Boyd wrote their first track together. Joining up with George Barker and "Ronnie" Biggs (who had both been organizing "Goa"-style parties in Britain), Slinky Wizard recorded The Wizard EP in February 1994 with Simon Posford (Hallucinogen) at Butterfly Studios; it became the first release on Flying Rhino the following December. However, the band tragically lost Boyd in an accident that summer. After collaborating with a number of different producers over the next 18 months, including Technossomy's Matt Evans ("Shivari Thing" and "The Wandering Prophet") and the Green Nuns Of The Revolution's Dick Trevor ("Shitty Stick"), in 1996 the band worked with Gus Till of Butterfly Studios, who had previously worked for INXS and Dogs In Space and quickly became a permanent member. "Funkus Munkus" was released on Flying Rhino's First Flight compilation, and "Licenced To Slink", a psy-trance take on the James Bond theme, was featured on the same label's Air Born. In 1997 Slinky Wizard's contributions to the Black Rhino and White Rhino collections signalled a change of tack as they moved from the standard "Goa"-style riffs and melodies of "Funkus Munkus" to the stripped-down, abstract sound of "Sacred Fist" and "People Like Us". The following year the band released The Monkey Comes Cheap EP and were also planning their first album. In the meantime, Lamb has continued to DJ at trance parties and festivals around the UK, Europe, Asia, North America and Australasia."

Guest Hallucinogenious Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 maybe Adam Boyd was the guy that had a clothes-store named Flying Rhino and lost his life after a *accident* at a party. I say it was an *accident* because he had taken acid and thought he could fly ... the party was at a castle, you know what happened ... is he ?

Guest Zaramatu Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Flying Rhino even dedicated a compilation to him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest r2d2 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Hmm I thought the CD version has more than the LP, but I guess there are 5 tracks on the CD as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ukiro Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Boyd In The Void wasn't considered a real compilation apparantly, as First Flight, released in 1996, has the catalogue number AFRCD1. But I'd kill for a copy of AFR006 in good condition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest r2d2 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I think that Green Nuns-Atomic Armadillo track on Boyd In The Void is different than the one that appears on Rock Bitch Mafia but I'm not 100% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AutoMath Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Boyd In The Void was a special Double EP / mini-album dedicated to Adam Boyd the so-called "Spiritual Manager" of Flying Rhino. If anyone have any more info or first-hand experience of him I'm sure we all would be interested.. Boyd In The Void is btw. one of Flying Rhino's best Goa-trance moments.. All tracks on this compilation are extra-ordinairy gems of a long-lost time and the cover is one of the most beautiful of that golden era.

Guest aje Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 On the old releases it used to say "dedicated to the rhino in the sky", and i think he is the rhino that they are talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
