What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Mingus feeling happy.

Various Production: 'Phortune' (Various) 7" single is in a sultry chanteuse mode with slip sliding grime style beats and squelched acidic b-line and keys. 'Limbs' on the flip comes over all waltzy with a cooing female keeping up with what sounds like an accordion backed with a Spanish themed guitar licks and strings. Lovely artwork as ever.

What the label says:

For a change there is a back story of sorts behind this Various Production release. Last year 4AD commissioned Various to remix a version of Emma Pollock’s song ‘Limbs’. VP eagerly obliged, laying down their own unique take on the track, and re-recording the vocals to get the sound they desired. 4AD didn’t quite know what to make of the result. They liked it, but, concerned at the absence of the original vocals, were reluctant to put it out. Rather than consign it to the scrapheap, VP decided to build on it, at the same time starting work on another Pollock remix, ‘Fortune’. The results of their labours are the two tracks set together on this 7’.  First we have the downbeat ‘Limbs’, a haunting melody driven forth by a churning, yearning beat. Then comes ‘Fortune’. With its epic sounding beats reigned in by Pollock’s vocals, the track starts big and slowly strips away the bass, leaving the us finally with only the high-pitched sound beneath. Two very different tracks set together, a juxtaposition to engage and delight Various’ growing set of fans.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
