This is a remix of Radio Bablyon taken from Meat Beat Manifesto's 'Version Galore' EP which was originally released in 1991 on Play It Again Sam (PIAS). It's a slice of electronic dub goodness.

Sweet Tee - I Got Da Feelin'
Yes yes y'all
A bit of old school hip hop from Sweet Tee today. I've got two copies of "I got Da Feelin'" on vinyl, which are from different labels, so I'm not quite sure when it came out. Sometime around '87. The vinyl has been mashed up quite a bit in attempt to beat juggle with it.
Fortunately for you this version is taken from a CD compilation, 'King of The Beats', which is well worth getting if you need a hip-hop filler for your collection, and don't want to go crate digging for vinyl. Though it looks like you might have to go diggin' for the CD. Mind you, this is such a classic I'm sure it probably turns up on every second 80's hip-hop compilation.

Brion Gysin - I Am That I Am
Thus began Thee Process
Brion Gysin can be grandly titled the man who introduced 'cut-up' to William Burroughs, and subsequently influenced a huge range of experimentation and styles in music, art and literature.
'I Am That I Am' is from a recording of sound works that Gysin was asked to produce for the BBC in 1960, and is take from Recordings 1960-81 a collection of works and conversations with him.
It's sad that so little of Gysins audio work is available considering his influence. That said there have been a couple of books published on him in the last few years; Tuning into the Multimedia Age and Nothing Is True, Everything Is Permitted. These contain a number of images of his artwork and details of his influence. I'd love to see an exhibition of his paintings - I believe there was one in NYC earlier in the yea

Four Tet - She Moves She
I've been listening to 'She Moves She' a lot in the last few days, perhaps because I've been using it as one of the test videos for a video player I'm writing. It's not got to me in the way some of the other tracks have after relentless listening - and 'As Serious As Your Life' by Four Tet also holds up well.
I like this track, and other stuff by Four Tet (and Kieran Hebden's other guises), because of it's musical - whilst not overly dance orientated - approach towards electronic music. His use of concrete sounds and electronic music, and his folk music influences, all gel together nicely.
It's taken from his second album 'Rounds', released on Domino
Edit Forgot to publish, d'oh!

Fugazi - Waiting Room/Suggestion
Making up for lost time
Only a few weeks in and already I've managed to post hardly anything this week - and been berated for it. sorry. It's been a bit busy this week. This is a quick post before heading out to see The Hospitals and co.
I'm also giving you two tracks. My original choice was 'Suggestion', but 'Waiting Room' is to thank you for your patience. They are taken from Fugazi's eponymous first EP which has to be one of the most consistently listened to records I have in my collection since I first bought it in 1988.
The tracks are are also available on the CD '13 songs' which is the 'Fugazi' EP and their second EP, 'Margin Walker' - which has to be one of the most consistently listened to records I have in my collection - on one CD.
