heard this?
ACACIA - Sway 12" (Radar - SCANT20)
1 sway (original)
2 sway - PLAID mix
3 squeezebox sway (ANTHONY MANNING mix)
4 and everyone's in love and flowers pick themselves
the original is just another of Acacia's 'dude,IwishwewuzA.R.Kane' oddities. But
Plaid take the song and give it some serious elektrofunk menace - minimal and
slightly house-y. The end of the Plaid mix cracks the tune wide open and goes
for some modest last-minute Bjorkisms. Not one of Plaid's finer moments, but a
Plaid moment nonetheless. Trainspotters alert!
Manning's wheezing accordion cut-n-paste job is ..um... interesting. And the
final track might be sugary enough to have you screaming for insulin, but it
does use a very cool shuffling breakbeat foundation and some truly whacked
sampled feedback splashes (another patented A.R. Kane trick. This is a pretty
thourough Xerox job!). A keeper.
Anyone have thoughts on these?
