Remixes, Portishead, Portishead remixes.

Sticking with the Bristol theme for a little while, here's a few tracks with Bristolian connections... Not a lot of waffle, just the facts...

Tricky - "Pondersosa (Ultramagnetic's Terrorists Power Club Mix)" and "Ponderosa (Dobie Rub Part 1)", both on the 1994 US Ponderosa 12".

Tricky - "Black Steel (Been Caught Steeling Mix)", 1995 on the Black Steel 12".

Portishead - "Sour Times (A Lot More)", 1994 US 12".

Nine - "Whutcha Want (Portishead Remix)", 1995 on the Whutcha Want remix EP.

Primal Scream - "Give Out But Don't Give Up (Portishead Remix)", 1994 on the Cry Myself Blind 10".

More soup, tastes different

Back to the States and the early nineties now....

Firstly, Alphabet Soup with "Take A Ride", I have included 2 versions from the 12", the original album mix and a nice alternative from A-Plus (well known from his work with Souls of Mischief and Hieroglyphics).

BTW, this is a different Alphabet Soup than the crew responsible for "A Sunny Day In Harlem" which conveniently explains the change in style and sound...


Also today, from 91, Two Kings In A Cipher with "Definition Of A King". A stompy, conscious rap effort, not atypical of it's time and not too shabby at all.
