Moving In The Right Direction



Here's a superb edit courtesy of Fernando, he of Redux Records (Leeds label home to Greg Wilson, amongst others).

In my old age, I'm losing my sense of taste. That has to be the reason why I'm currently listening to Real Ibiza 6 and not this excellent mix that dapper, fellow barbe-rousse Jesse R. Cumming. Chances are you've probably heard him DJing 'round the Mile End neighbourhood at Buvette Chez Simone and Sparrow.

Landscape & Silence



Formerly Sandy & The Sunset Gang, Kook is a nice slice of left-field disco from Hawaiian-born Sandy O'neale, produced by Yukihiro Takahashi, Haruomi Hosono, & Ryuichi Sakamoto from Yellow Magic Orchestra, from her LP Earthly Pleasures. Besides the gold-to-my-ears production (anything that seems like it could be part of a video art performance from 1983 I love, really), it's a solidly built song, and Sandii's voice has many of the same characteristics that make Allison Goldfrapp so endearing. Were I to supervise the soundtrack to a remake of the Sean Connery/Wesley Snipes film Rising Sun about a murdered blonde hostess/prositute, this would be a key component. It would also have to be set in 1983.

Party Crash




The Change song features Luther Vandross on vocals, sampled by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis for Janet Jackson's All For You. Both O'Neal and Hikaru's songs were produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.
