My Experience of working with Dougie Conscious AKA 'A. Millgate' is when Wayne McArthur phoned me and asked if i could come to Studio tomorrow to record Guitar and Bass ? ..... i heard of Dougie and Chaz but didn't know their music so i went round to Dave Arrowsmith and borrowed a CD, likkle Dave had ALL of Dougie's stuff at that time 2000, his hero was Russ D but he loved Conscious sounds and especially Chaz and Bush Chemists.... CD was Centry-release the chains,.... "this is so basic and NPC, i got nothing to worry about" i thought..... That next day we recorded one tune 'Cry Rebel' that Wayne put on a 12". i did 3 or 4 more sessions, some with master Percussionist Rick AKA 'Jah Roots'..... some of these tunes Wayne released on a CD 'Dread Music Affairs' , He also included without permission on that CD a tune that Dave Arrowsmith PAID Wayne to sing on and was NOT Wayne's production to include on that CD and a tune Jah Free had PAID Wayne to sing on so also NOT Wayne's production...... i was paid for 4 or 5 original composition and recording, Riddim and lead Guitar and Bass Guitar , i got a total of 2 boxes of the 'Cry Rebel' 12"..... which was 70 records, Wayne wanted to pay me 1 box but i stood firm, it's enough of a betrayal to pay me in records and make me hustle and toil for Wayne's career even more and BEG people "please buy this sh!t Reggae 12" that i played on" just to get PAID,..... that is bad enough , but to offer me only one box of 35 records was a real insult , you get used to it working with Wayne McArthur....... insulted after recording KILLER Basslines and Guitar for him on 4 or 5 sessions and insulted after Gigs offered £20 when i told him minimum £50 and pick me up and drop me back after..... Now Wayne's many kids are old enough to play instruments so he basically made himself a backing band with his d!ck! Gotta give him props for THAT! :) ....... anyway back to Dougie..... 1st Session Dougie's like "what do want? One drop? Stepper?" , he knocks up a beat on the QBase sequencer, Chaz lays a Piano skank, verse then chorus, all MIDI, then Dougie selects the intro, verse and chorus, ..... e copy/pastes it until it's 4 minutes long and bang there's your Riddim! so i improvise a Bassline, Dougie say "play the 1st bit last and the last bit 1st if you know what i mean".... so i did that to Tape and then record Riddim Guitar, Dougie winds back the tape and i start working out some Lead Guitar licks , .... i noodle about trying to find a strong lick and hit an off note, Dougie stops the tape, i see he had the Red light on, He expects me to lay down Lead Guitar without even trying to find something to fit the song, He expects it to be so stock, formulaic, not even trying to find something strong and original and novel, just go with the same old safe stock licks..... this was not how i usually created Music, but in that time Dougie's aim was for a client to arrive at 10am and leave at 6pm with a finished song AND 2 Dub mixes, so you could do one session with Dougie and you now had a record label..... this is why all Dougie's productions feature that stock, stuck in the blues-box pentatonic Lead Guitar, plus i think Dougie is a little scared of anything outside of his formula..... If you can really play, it kinda makes the rest of it , Dougie's part sound a bit sh!t, stiff, plastic, like there is this incredible Bassline and Guitar and the drums sound like they are from a christmas cracker :) .... The time issue was because Dougie had to be home by 6pm or his Missus would crack the whip.... One time Wayne was recording backing vocal and it clashed with the Lead vocal and i said this to Dougie as it was recording and he pointed to the clock..... so the failed clashing backing vocal stayed on the tune ....... again it's not how i make Music but then i realized that Dougie was not really in the business of making Music, Dougie makes product, and if you can pump out more product, with lower overheads and if you can serve the market (rather than serve the MUSE) you got a business.... Dougie is not in the Music Business, Dougie is in the record business, he makes records.... i am a VERY different animal, i make music and indulge in a quest to serve the muse, when it happens all is good, but you can never force it or it wont be true and is thus worthless..... Dougie is in the record business, he makes records..... Those Sessions were something i did because i enjoyed the process to some degree, Chaz is good company and a huge pothead like me, it was ME who named him 'Prince CHAZBO' which Dougie found hilarious and so it stuck..... at this time i was mentoring Likkle Dave Arrowsmith and he loved Chaz so i really pushed Wayne to bring Dave Arrowsmith along , "he can play some keyboards or melodica" i said and Wayne was like "we don't have time, we don't need him You and Dougie and Chaz is fine" but i pushed and insisted because i saw this as nothing for me, knew i probably wouldn't get paid so i wanted to at least gift likkle Dave Arrowsmith what was to him like a trip to disneyland,,,,,,........ Chaz wasn't there by chance so again i had to really push Dougie to let Dave Arrowsmith try a thing on the Piano, Dougie was like "who's this cnut? who said you could bring him?" he didn't SAY it but his face was not impressed that i brought along what was essentially a fan...... i didn't care , it was very unprofessional but i didn't respect Dougie as a producer OR Wayne as a singer and i expected that Wayne would try to screw me on the money so i may as well get something out of it, i get to bring my pupil likkle Dave Arrowsmith along to his heroes, i was hoping Chaz would be there, that was when i said "where is prince Chazbo?" .....
