We have a measly 3 copies of a cool Shoeb Ahmad 'In The City' remix 3" CD that comes in its very own cute little knitted grey cardigan type pouch that fastens with a wooden button. It has remixes by by Cleptoclectics , Bracken and Inch-Time (Static Caravan) and by the time you read this it probably will have disappeared. The Cleptocletics mix is kinda funky while the Bracken one goes slow and deep with a somber vibe and nice slow break beat with breezy strings. I expect some folks will be falling over themselves to get hold of this purely for this remix. The Inch-Time mix has the vocal hovering gently in the distance with some pretty electronic sounds and again the lovely strings are there. All very dreamy stuff. Ltd to 50 copies.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
a special companion features versions from Shoeb's recent release on
Sound&Fury ('Sea Songs, Dead Ends And Sleeping Pills') by
Cleptoclectics (Feral Media), Bracken (Anticon) and Inch-Time (Static
Caravan), exploring a more rhythmic edge to the drifting nature of
Shoeb's loner folk. the first 50 editions come housed in a handknitted
jacket so jump in quick before they all disappear!
