this week i have mostly been listening to I Am Kurious Oranj
I've loaded my shuffle with the greatest hits of Talking Heads, Wire and The Fall, plus The Fall's The Unutterable, Gonzales Uber Alles, some Fripp and Eno, and Give Out But Don't Give Up, an underated p-funk track by Primal Scream. Since then, I haven't used my iPod... and I've discovered the joy of shuffle mode. This week, though, I've been listening to just The Fall stuff, and been happily strutting round Helsinki - The Fall has a certain jaunt to it that makes it great walking music. (note for shuffle owners - get this db builder to escape the single computer iTunes tyranny)
Inspired by Anne, I've decided to put a few tracks up on an irregular basis. I was a student during the glory days of the CD single - 40 minutes each, with 5 or 6 tracks or remixes, often sold for 99p. So I have lots of obscure 90s music and mixes, some of which I'll put up for a few days only. If you like them, buy them, or the artist's more recent stuff!
Music and links now gone! You'll have to be quicker next time!
Portishead remix of Massive Attack's Karmacoma - the best of both groups. Whilst Portishead got ripped off by every downtempo group, a lot of the inventiveness, harshness and brilliance disappeared too.
Alex Reece remix of Tricky's Brand New You're Retro - fantastic slab of Bristolian jungle, with some great drum sounds and programming.
Koochie Ryder by Freaky Realistic - I played this single over and over again; the dancier remixes are great as well. The album wasn't much cop to be honest. Anyone know what's happened to any of them?
To Be Real by Ladycop - this starts off as a seemingly trite tinny remake of To Be Real, but it's a real floorfiller, and a reminder of a funky house style that has unfortunately disappeared.
