I’ve been wondering this for while. Does anyone know where Weatherall got his penchant for using delayed/dubbed out Timbales from?
I know early days there was quite a bit of their use in Prog House tunes, Fabi Paras/Sound Clash Republic etc. Who did it first?!
I’m assuming it was probably influenced by old dub tunes but I can’t really think of any examples? 
Gut reaction is the 99 Records sound from NY? Latin percussion, post punk?
It comes from his love of Dub reggae. I’ve seen him talk about playing dub records back at Ramplings after Shoom 87/88 so he must have had a collection proir to that time
I think the quote from Jenny Rampling at one of the Shoom after parties where Andrew was playing those tunes was that it sounded like a bunch of pots and pans being clanged together. So, as Simon said, you can kind of imagine that 99 records vibe - then Hugo Nicholson later throwing delay over it in the studio and you arrive at that sound. But who knows. It’s my speculation as a punter rather than any fact-based insider insight.
Me too! 
He barely talked at all on that mix, just let the tunes flow.
An absolutely superb mix.
was it AW who described minimal as “pots & pans” music? (although I think “panel beaters from Prague” was my fave)
Pots & pans has been around for ages. We used it for Oakie style trance in the 90s and b4 that its how my soulboy mates described early house
Nice thread from the Flightpath Estate about Wilmot 30 years on
Such a truly leftfield tune
My favourite Weatherall production - and the Scruffage Mix is an all timer
+1. Its a wonderful record.
The sound of every backroom in that period. Great party starter
Saw Weatherall DJ at Volts in Exeter a few times in the early nineties, and think I have a memory of him playing Wilmot as the last tune after the lights came on. But I’m also not 100% I haven’t made that last part up!
