Top work @MK Shrimper .. Drumming up interest on the other threads

'Aerial' is a great album. I have a track to include on the BOTL thread. 'An Endless Sky of Honey' is a masterpiece. In fairness old Rolf wasn't known about at the time and barely speaks for more than 2 seconds.

True, and in later version her son replaces him. The ending of the album is just joyous, love it. Reminds me of the scenes at the Apollo (sorry mate).

I've played 'Before The Dawn' to death. I love the extra added bits on 'Prologue', plus the superb 'Sunset' .. 'Aerial' live itself as the final part of 'An Endless Sky .....' is just something else!

 

[ThurrockShrimper]

Head Over Heels by the Cocteau Twins. One of their darker LPs but beautiful nonetheless

 

[ThurrockShrimper]

Also, Rum, Sodomy and The Lash by The Pogues

 

[AndyT]

Seriously superb from Incognito from their new album. Collaborating with Take 6. Bluey and the boys still doing it after 40 years! :-

That's mad considering the 4hero talk on the other thread.

From Wiki

In 1997, one 4hero track, a remix of Nuyorican Soul's "Black Gold of the Sun", was released to critical acclaim with Louie Vega himself describing it as "...one of the best remixes ever...".

I had this years ago, I'm sure it had a remix with Q-tip as well?

I make Louie Vega right - I've always thought that was an incredible remix.

Sadly the record I have only has the MAW version on it and 'Runaway' on the flipside

Is that the one with Q-tip?

 

[AndyT]

The original of 'I am the black gold of the sun' by Rotary Connection is something very special, as well.

I have the 4Hero live version of this and 'Loveless' in my saved links :-

I would have loved to have seen 4hero live, I read an interview with Dego once saying that the live shows were too expensive as the collective was too large and they had to pay near enough a whole orchestra

yeah that's the one!

there was a free CD with Mojo years back that was a Chess Records special, and I'm sure I first heard this on that... Brilliant tune

On the Montreux live version they used two string quartets. One of them was the Monaco String Quartet. Not sure of the other.

I remember also hunting down a version by The Decoders (session musicians from LA) who did a version with an excellent sax solo at the end :-
