Our single of the week (2nd January 2009)
...according to our Phil on Wed 31 Dec, 2008.
Here's an odd 7" single by Manicured Noise and Human League remixed by Fred Deakin from Lemon Jelly limited to 500 copies on the Caroline True label (home to The Nightingales). I think both of these tunes have appeared in Fred's Tryptyche mix if you're interested. Presumerably you are as you're reading...The Manicured Noise tune is a great post punk funk sounding instrumental along the lines of Pigbag and Maximum Joy .They're an old new wave band from Manchester and their tune (Moscow 1980) was more than likely recorded in 1980 I'd guess. They don't call me private dick for nothing... actually they normally just call me dick but I like to imagine their quietly saying private as well....It's a cracking little tune and it doesn't sound like it's been played around with too much to be honest. The flipside is The Dignity of Labour Part Three which has really kept the essence of the original but with a slight New Beat feel to it. It's a really good single. There I said it! In Fred Deakin designed sleeve on white wax. Cocking marvellous!"Human Noise": Fred Deakin's (Lemon Jelly) remixes of post-punk classics by Manicured Noise and The Human League.
Limited white vinyl 7" (500) with unique artwork by Fred Deakin.
In 2007 Fred Deakin, acclaimed electronic musician (Lemon Jelly), designer and DJ, selected 'Moscow 1980' from the Manicured Noise 'Northern Stories 1978/80' album for his Triptyche mix set. Very shortly afterwards came the unexpected unearthing of the long lost master tapes for the first Manicured Noise single "Moscow", originally released in1980. Fred has reworked the track up into a Post-Punk/Nu-Balearic storm, infused with the spirit of the Thrashing Doves. The track recently gained much attention after Radio1 play on a Rob-Da-Bank Nu-Balearic special. On the B side is Fred's fluid interpretation of an early Human League cut, plucked from obscurity and crafted for the tail end of another turbulent decade.
