February 17, 1990: Milli Vanilli, Innocence, M.C. Wildski, Gil Scott-Heron, Kicking Back with Taxman

BEATS & PIECES

Ever been had? ‘So What’, the Italo house hit previously credited as by (E’-AlorrA), supposedly on an Italian Dischi Dovero label, in an outrageously cunning and successful scam masterminded by Cooltempo for Chrysalis distributed Dover Records turns out to be an instrumental version of the new single by none other than Gilbert O’Sullivan (I suppose the matrix number GOSSX should have been a hint)! … Princess Ivori ‘Wanted’, now sizzling on scarce single-sided UK promo, was in fact imported on Popular way back around a year ago, but “came and went” at the time, according to helpful Terry Davis at Balham’s Record Corner … Olimax & DJ Shapps’ brilliant ‘Saturday Love’ mix, hard to find on white label since the autumn, has finally had a wider release titled as ‘Feelin’ Love’ (still 122½bpm) on T.D. Records, Inc (TD 108) … Kariya’s ‘Let Me Love You For Tonight’ is of course where the vocal quotes are from in Olimpia ‘You Want My Love’, reviewed last week … Rich Nice ‘The Rhythm, The Feeling’, my lead review last week, is 109¼bpm – missed out by an oversight after all that! … Silver Bullet ‘Bring Forth The Guillotine’ (Tam Tam Records TTT 013) has been reissued in its old Ben Chapman remixes (120bpm), but with a brand new Norman Cook remix soon to follow … Rumour Records have signed up Masters Of The Universe and will be rapidly reissuing the current ‘Space Talk’, coupled with ‘Check It Out’ now … The House Crew ‘All We Wanna Do Is Dance’ (reviewed last week and fully distributed from next week by Pacific) has been adopted as the anthem of the Freedom To Party campaign – which points out that Government moves to crack down on so-called “acid house” and warehouse parties (largely on account of the media hyped supposedly associated drug problem), if allowed to pass into law unopposed, could well knock on to prevent the playing of any type of music outside licence controlled premises and hours (and that includes at an innocent birthday party in your front room) … 94 of the UK’s top club jocks, in acknowledgement of his indirect influence on their careers, have between them gathered over 5,000 signatures so far for a petition to bring back Robbie Vincent’s soul show on Radio 1 … Capital Radio’s greatest asset, Peter Young has left to join the likes of Gilles Peterson and Jez Nelson at London’s new JAZZ-fm, on air March 4, doing a weekday 3-6pm jazz tinged soul/R&B show! … Diamond Time are extending their excellent continuously mixed monthly DiscEyes video compilations to three hours with specially edited movie trailer clips added to the end at no extra cost (subscription details, for professional use only, from Graham Gold on 01-483 4149) … Marie Birch, who wants those who might not otherwise recognise her to know she’s a fully recovered svelte brunette now following 14 months of serious illness, is back in the race running her new Impact Record Productions Ltd and previous PA’s Unlimited, building new mailing lists of club and radio DJs, specialist shops, and (those interested in booking personal appearances) entertainment managers at 363-365 Harrow Road, London W9 3NA (01-861 3953) … Beats International’s vocalist on ‘Dub Be Good To Me’, Lindy Layton not only used to be in TV’s “Grange Hill” but also is the girl from that Heinz spaghetti commercial, the one in which she’s just slurping her kid sister’s supper when her boyfriend is shown in by Mum … Mark Pogley and The Bean start a weekly upfront rave night this Friday (16) at Derby’s Zippy’s Lodge … Bob Masters anchors the new Freedom Fridays at Ladbroke Grove’s Subterrania, joined by two guests from a rolling rota of Jay Strongman, Bob Jones, Jeff Young, Gilles Peterson, Norman Jay and Simon Dunmore to spin an eclectic range of upfront cuts … Saturdays at Brixton’s Fridge currently star the Coldcut boys, Jonathan More & Matt Black, along with Ian B, Vicki Edwards and Jay Strongman – also quite a line-up! … Baby Ford will be headlining live with DJs Mike Pickering, ‘Evil’ Eddie Richards and Andrew Weatherall in four Saturdays’ time, March 10, at the monthly Decadence night in Kentish Town’s Town And Country Club, to be filmed by Thames TV (for screening in September, when it’s sure to seem up to date!) … Guru Josh, rather sooner, this Wednesday (14) is with Gary Oldis at Sunderland’s Chambers and on Sunday (18) visits Tony Cochrane’s latest regularly rammed Sweatbox rave alldayer at Dundee’s Destihls … Pete Haigh and Bob Jeffries are “Legal + Massive” at Glasgow’s Sub Club this Saturday (17) … Mike Knowler brings the rave sound of Liverpool’s legendary The State to Bootle’s Quadrant Park on Thursdays … Ket Shah reports from Tenerife that anyone taking winter hols there will find he, the Stewart Brothers, Steve and Alfie, and JB guarantee upfront music from around the world at the bars currently “doin’ the business”, Roxy’s, Bobby’s, Paradise Lost and Tramps … Syntonic Research (distributed at the time by Atlantic) was the best of several US labels which back in the early Seventies released series of albums with the whole of each side devoted to just one naturally recorded stereo effect (like dawn in a wood, dusk in a swamp, wind in high trees, gentle rain in a pine forest, blazing logs in a grate, thunder in the city), nearly all of which I collected should any budding ambient producers be interested! … ‘Sonic Seasonings’, a similar vintage double album on CBS by synthesiser pioneering Walter Carlos, however, contains the ultimate thunderstorm, midway through the side called ‘Spring’, great for clearing gigs that have gone on too long as it’s guaranteed to make all who hear it feel shivery and uncomfortable! … IT’S SUCH A GOOD VIBRATION!

HOT VINYL
Reviewed by James Hamilton and Norman Cook

MILLI VANILLI ‘All Or Nothing (US Megamix)’ (101½-100½bpm) (Cooltempo COOLX 199)
It’s back to jiggly half-steppin’ swingbeat (and sampled inserts from their and others’ oldies) for this consequently very typical jumpily syncopated jitterer, so much so that one can mentally picture their shinily shod twitchy feet in video close-up already, flipped by its more restrained US Remix (101½bpm) plus the moodily muttered and crooned slow ‘Dreams To Remember’ (106/53bpm).

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST ‘I Left My Wallet In El Segundo’ (Norman Cook)

BIG BOSS GROOVE ‘Sn—appiness’ (Norman Cook)

PRIMAL SCREAM ‘Loaded (Andy Weatherall Mix)’ (Norman Cook)

INNOCENCE ‘Natural Thing (Elevation)’ (102¾v bpm) (Cooltempo COOLX 201)
Still not due fully until next Monday but already massive on promo, this Jolley Harris Jolley created girl cooed jogger is sizzling thanks to its combination of a Soul II Soul-type tempo and overdubbed sweetly doodling Pink Floyd ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ melody, the latter heard even earlier in the flip’s instrumental Sunset mix.

M.C. WILDSKI ‘Warrior (Disco-Tek Mix)’ (118bpm) (Arista 612 956)
Producer Paul Dakeyne’s finest achievement, this excitingly churning Jackson Sisters ‘I Believe In Miracles’ wah-wah driven and Tears For Fears “talkin’ to you” (from ‘Shout’) prodded raggamuffin rap, by the guy previously associated with Norman Cook, seems set to be huge, in four mixes including the different bumpily lurching The Art Of Fighting Without Fighting (118¾bpm).

GIL SCOTT-HERON ‘Space Shuttle’ (Castle Communications GILLT 002, via BMG)
Now finally out fully, this is in three contrasting Paul Waller remixes, gruffly slurring spoken/sung as usual by Gil but otherwise untypical, the A-side’s still jazz-funk flavoured languidly tripping The Sub Club Vocal Mix (113bpm) being overshadowed by the whippoorwill twittered flip’s spacier calm synth swirled Deep Club Dub (116½bpm) and jerkily techno-ish largely instrumental Bass Edit Beats (120¼bpm).

KICKING BACK with Taxman ‘Devotion (the-E-MOTIVE Mix)’ (98bpm) (10 Records TENX 297)
Twiddly diddling raggamuffin Taxman announces “listen this ‘cos it’s a brand new style” at times through this otherwise lazily drifting sparse jiggly tugger (inevitably Soul II Soul-ish), gently washed by soulful male harmonies behind a sweetly agonised female lead, gorgeous, with a more urgent 7” Mix (97¼bpm) and less convincing Inner City-type ‘All I Want (Club Mix)’ (120¾bpm), out fully in a fortnight if you can bear the wait!

PRODUCER featuring WICKED NELSON ‘Nobody Messes With The Godfather’ (106½bpm) (2 Dam Funky FUNK 1)
With the rhythm and feel but not the sound of ‘Funky Nassau’, this girl cooed and guy rapped wild and whacky jumping sparse jiggler is full of funk, the Godfather of course being Mr Brown although, a few vocal samples and scratches apart, his style for once is not copied (good throbbing ‘Fatherfunkin’ Dubsonic’ bassodiol [sic] dubsonic-funk mix flip!), truly great stuff.

ASHLEY & JACKSON ‘The Sermon’ (120bpm) (DFM Records DFM 007T, via Pinnacle)
Hull truckers in a Manchester setup classily storming The Club Chart on a four-tracker with this dead funky vintage-style riffs jiggled muttering and moaning groove, its Instrumental (120¼bpm), the movie dialogue punctuated pulsating ambient instrumental ‘W.I.L.D.’ (119¾bpm), and breathily weaving jiggly sombre ‘Head Over Heels’ (104¾bpm).

PRESSURE DROP ‘Feeling Good (Touch 1)’ (119½bpm) (Big World BIWT 005, via Pacific)
Another Club Chart storming excellent oddity, this chunky organ chorded haunting buoyantly wriggly little chugger has some phased “hey, oh babe” repetition and brief chorus bursts but is basically instrumental, especially in the flip’s bassily pattering Touch 2 (120bpm) and Touch 3 (119¾bpm) variations.

MR. FINGERS ‘What About This Love (Extended Version)’ (113bpm) (ffrr FX 131)
Hot on import since Christmas, this Larry Heard created refreshingly gentle jazzy keyboards washed and tinkled, soothingly crooned lush swayer would have fitted the jazz-funk craze ten years ago and right now is considered ‘ambient’ (lovely Dub Version and new Drum & Bass Mix too). It’s all ‘new age’ to me!

WILL DOWNING ‘Come Together As One (Definitive Club Mix)’ (114¾v bpm) (Fourth & Broadway 12BRW 159)
Morales & Knuckles remixed jazz-funkily flavoured pattering and pulsing moody slick soul canterer, with a topical anti-apartheid message, this initial UK pressing having their Dream Together Mix and (114½bpm) Radio Mix too while Gail ‘Sky’ King’s import mixes will be out separately next week. In case you hadn’t noticed, that’s now three jazz-funky big newies (Mr Fingers and Gil Scott-Heron being the others) filling the BPM gap between Soul II Soul and Italo house – maybe 114bpm is coming back after all!

THE STRINGS OF LOVE ‘Nothing Has Been Proved (Land Of Oz Mix)’ (118¾bpm) (Breakout USAT 688)
Due fully next week, Paul Oakenfold’s much more richly textured remix, and his gently episodic Future Mix, of the Rome recorded remake of the Pet Shop Boys’ haunting Dusty Springfield ‘Scandal’ song (reduced by silkily sighing Ortensia Kalombo to an ethereally repeated refrain) are somehow slightly slower than the original Italian import’s Dance Mix (120½-120bpm), included here but also fractionally (½bpm!) slower, Kenny G-like sax giving ‘new age’ ambience to the pleasantly burbling canterer.

SHAKESPEARS SISTER ‘Dirty Mind (Extended 1990 Version)’ (126½bpm) (ffrr FX 128)
As remixed by I-Level’s Duncan Bridgeman, this thunderously rumbling jiggly driver has snarled and whispered lyrics worthy of Janet Jackson (though it doesn’t have her sound), far more powerful than the totally different staidly trotting radio version (124bpm) and likely to be large!

PISCES ‘Take Me Higher (Subliminal Mix)’ (125¾-125½bpm) (Reachin’ Records PISCES 001R)
A bit thin and weedy as originally promoed, Martin Freeland & Ian Dewhirst’s still girl gasped and Family Stone-ishly chanted (with a guy chipping in later) deliberately dated Sylvester style disco galloper now thumps much more beefily, a long felt want to judge from its current rapid Club Chart rise, with an emptier twittery instrumental The 90’s Mix (125¾bpm).

MAX Q ‘Sometimes (Land Of Oz Mix)’ (122¼bpm) (Mercury MXQ 212)
A diversion with some Melbourne mates for Michael Hutchence between INXS albums, this Paul Oakenfold remixed beefy bass boomed and huskily chanted whomping smooth house-ish bounder, flipped by its Instrumental Mix and Todd Terry’s scurrying more vocal Rock House Mix (123bpm), is to be separately followed (although the two A-sides were together on promo) by Paul’s more jitteringly rhythmic and gutturally vocal Future Mix (MXQ 2212), flipped by Todd’s more jerkily percussive Dub Mix (123bpm) and the breathily loping ‘Ghost Of The Year (Todd Terry Mix)’ (121½bpm).

POOR RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS ‘Time To Say Peace (Remix)’ (100pm) (Profile PROFT 280)
Declamatory rap ‘n’ scratch by a New Jersey crew, disjointedly lurching in last summer’s Original Version (97½bpm) but rollingly remixed for the UK with a chunkier ‘Jazzie’s Groove’-ish Soul II Soul twist, flipped by the ‘Soul Makossa’ wriggled ‘Butt Naked Booty Bless’ (112½bpm) and stark jerkily jogging ‘Word Is Bond’ (101¾bpm), out next week.

1 WORLD ‘Down On Love’ (99bpm) (ffrr FX 129)
Already known as Soul II Soul’s remixers, Time Lever and Mike Percy not surprisingly use a similar gently jiggling bass and drum behind their own sultry Sheila wailed jogger, promoed in two Assertive and two Blissful Mixes.

ARTHUR BAKER & THE BACKBEAT DISCIPLES featuring ROBERT OWENS ‘Silly Games (Hacienda Side)’ (121½bpm) (Breakout USAT 678)
Swirling and tumbling with a snickety thin top end in the officially flipside but, so far, hotter Graeme Park & Mike Pickering remixed Hacienda Club and Dub Mixes, this double-edged house attack is moaned and wailed by the previously Fingers Inc featured Robert Owens as Arthur’s latest guest vocalist, the Frankie Bones & Tommy Musto remixed Bonesbreak Side’s Club and Dub Mixes (120½bpm) throbbing more chunkily and mournfully but minus the Manchester touch that’s cutting though these days!

GURU JOSH ‘Infinity (1990’s Time For The Guru)’ (125-124½bpm) (de/Construction Records PT 43476)
Probably a mistake, as very different from the already well established though hard to find original jerkily leaping twittery techno ‘Infinity (Mad Mix)’ (122bpm) (Infinity Records INF 21), which also had Toasting and tighter jittery Spacey Saxophone Mixes plus the more jauntily driving ‘Time For The Guru’ (124-123¾bpm), this spacey sax started remake is nothing like so rhythmically coherent and keeps darting off at confusing tangents, but is possibly saved by the flip’s somewhat revamped Spacey Saxophone Mix (121¾bpm) and Spacey Saxophone 7” Mix (124¾bpm).

POP DANCE

TINA TURNER ‘Steamy Windows (Vocal Mix)’ (134bpm) (Capitol 12CL 560), typically worded Tony Joe White-penned swamp rocker produced by Dan Hartman in cleanly charging unsubtle US ‘dance-rock’ style, but interestingly remixer Justin Strauss has also supplied a far less blatantly energetic soulfully cantering genuine House Mix (12½bpm), worth checking;

FATIMA MANSIONS ‘Only Losers Take The Bus‘ (124½bpm) (Kitchenware Records SKX 43, via A.P.T.), Jonathan Richman meets The Smiths in this droning frantic indie rock thrasher, mutating however into the far more useful chugging Eurodisco-type ‘O.L.T.T.B.’ in its Hail & Flames deadpan vocal remix (123¼bpm) and, especially, extended instrumental Hail & Adios Non Stop Party Pumpin’ Mix (123bpm), the latter not for airplay;

GODFATHERS ‘Out On The Floor’ (Epic GFTT 5), rock four-tracker with the Rolling Stones-like raucously strutting ‘I’m Lost And Then I’m Found’ (122½bpm), Lou Reed-ish ‘Birth, School, Work, Death (Extended Mix)‘ (121½-119¾bpm), and frantically galloping ‘She Gives Me Love‘ in a Keith LeBlanc Love Mix (141bpm) and his even fiercer Mega Dance Authority Remix (140½bpm), worth checking;

EURYTHMICS ‘The King And Queen Of America‘ (132¾bpm) (RCA DAT 24). Phil Spector-ishly introed but then impact losing convoluted title repeating rambler, promoed (RCA DAT 23) however with a completely revamped gently loping then furiously throbbing 132½bpm Remix and, by this later stage unrelated to the original song, its second half’s funkily jiggling 131½bpm Dub Mix (including the “wooh yeah” break);

THUNDERPUSSY ‘International Adventure (Panoramic Mix)’ (133¼bpm) (MCA Records MCAT 1388), strident girl warbled tympani throbbed Hi-NRG galloper, with a more vocal 7” Version (134bpm) and the storyline related but Sixties flavoured pausing and spurting ‘Latin American Girl In London Town‘ (123¾bpm);

COLOURS ‘I Wanna Make Love (Temptation Mix)’ (96½bpm) (WEA YZ418TX), ponderous jerkily lurching repetitive Bros-ish chanter with an even drearier On The Edge alternative version (95½bpm), plus however a completely different snappily scurrying The House Mix (122¾v bpm), only a groove maybe but why did anyone bother with the others?;

HABIT ‘Fly Like An Eagle’ (118¼bpm) (Virgin VST 1248), bass burbled and keyboards twiddled surging remake of the recently much sampled old Steve Miller Band song, tightening up as it patters percussively through lengthy breaks, with an alternative more house-ish instrumental flip that’s beefier from right after its slow start;

A CERTAIN RATIO ‘Four For The Floor’ (A&M ACRY 550), Manchester experimentalists’ four-tracker with the empty unhurriedly rumbling ‘Spirit Dance’ (117¾bpm), hippy-esque mystical bubbling twittery jittery ‘Good Together‘ (122¼v bpm), delicate kalimba and guitar picked atmospheric slow then racing afro percussion driven ‘Tribeca‘ (102/51-132bpm), and ‘Shaft In Africa’ wukka-wukked perkily rambling jazzy ‘Be What You Wannabe‘ (118bpm);

THE CREATURES ‘Fury Eyes (20/20 Mix)’ (109¾-108bpm) (Polydor SHEX 18), Pascal Gabriel mixed bass and drum snapped percussive jiggler eventually reaching some T.Rex-ish Siouxsie vocal, apparently a combination of the flip’s tapping Dub (109¾bpm) and more instantly vocal Remix (107¾-108bpm);

DAVID A. STEWART featuring CANDY DULFER ‘Lily Was Here (Space Centre Medical Unit Hum)’ (107bpm) (Anxious ANXT 014, via RCA), Dutch chart-topping Kenny G-ish gently swaying atmospheric instrumental, sweetly saxed by Lily with Dave on delicate acoustic guitar, worth a proper dance remix as the ambient sound effects which wash the long slow start also interrupt for too long a midway pause both this and the Orbital Space Lab Mix.
