AVI Part 1

Taken from the album "Cocomotion" [AVI 6012] (1977), (my latest AVI purchase ;) )

El Coco - Love To the World

What A Genius!!!

In this days im spending some time ripping some of my records. Records like Prince (I've posted one track of him), Skyy, NYCC, Hi Voltage, Montreal Sound, Rinder & Lewis, etc, etc, and also some for this genius... Im talking about Michael Jackson of course.
For this post i choose the brilliant "I Cant Help It", in is pure album version, who have already a arrangement of the man of the moment, Todd Terje.

This track is taken from the album "Off The Wall", released in 1979.
Sit down, relax, and enjoy...

Shulme

The second release on Paul 'Mudd' Murphy's recently conceived label, Claremont 56, 'Shulme' sees the return of dynamix duo Smith & Mudd, last heard together on their jaw-droppingly balearic "Blue River". S&M have stolen the essence of Vangelis, combined it with the chuggy brightness of 'Stop Bajon' and added a Van Halen-style rock solo to create this summertime downbeat monster. Limited to a run of 500 one-sided copies.

America

For today i have a little precious thing... A really rare 12" version!

"America" was the final U.S. single off Prince and The Revolution's 1985 album, Around the World in a Day. The song is appreciative of the mid-1980s United States, condemning Communism, and worrying about nuclear war. The song begins as if it is a record being spun by a DJ. This leads into a guitar solo and a rising keyboard line. The main tune is standard rock and roll and fades out at 3:40. The 12-inch single extended version is notable for being over 20 minutes and including various instrumental solos. The song even fades in this version; in the original extended version the listener can actually hear the audio tape run out, being that Prince and the Revolution had jammed the song out until there was no more room on the tape.

Giant

The The's "Giant" is already an art-pop epic as the original 1983 version is over nine minutes in length, but Dirty Edits' Pilooski (or PSKI as he is more often referred to) adjusts it enough to warrant this full 12" on his infamous D.i.r.t.y. Edits / Dark & Lovely imprint.

D.i.r.t.y. Edits are always very good, but this, is one of my favorites..

Beyond The Clouds

New label from the people that brought us all those lovely Supersound 12's! Their first release has got Venus Gang's ultra-cosmic and itensely epic "Love To Fly" . On the flip we get the instrumental version of "Stop Ou Encore" by Plastic Bertrand (mostly known outside France for "Ca Plane Pour Moi" as covered by Sonic Youth").
