Great remix. Perfectly understated and you have added enough to take the great original to the next level. Will play this one out no hesitation. Chur for the DL

Talking heads . David Byrne . St. Vincent.

David Byrne...what can I say...I loved working with this guy....incredibly talented, insanely arty, immensely successful and yet the most humble of men. An absolute pleasure to work with. David had me mixing various live recordings from shows as he toured around in 2003/2004. The shows kept getting better as the tour progressed. Especially when David got to Austin and hired a string section called Tosca Strings. Up to that point in the tour David had been hiring string sections local to what ever city he was playing in. This was a bit dicey because the only rehearsal the strings had with the band was at the soundcheck. This led to some quite colossal screw ups....on one gig I remember the strings appearing in songs in all the wrong places and when I just listened to the strings tracks I could hear one player saying 'where are we?' and another replying 'I don't know!'

Tosca Strings were on a totally different level to the other sections David had hired. Not only did he hire them for the rest of the tour but they tightened up and embellished the string arrangements a lot.

This song was recorded at a Chapel in London and was the last day of the tour so the band and string section were amazingly tight. I loved mixing this gig and Naive Melody is probably my favourite song and is a great showcase for Tosca Strings.

Scritti Politti / Hypnotize (Remix2012)

David Byrne & St. Vincent - Who (Falkodelica extended edit)

My plan was to not remix, but re-play the song in a full live setting, as if in 1975 Bowie recorded the original and then flew to Brooklyn (or even Jamaica) to cut another take with my players. Everything was recorded 100% analog to tape. All on equipment that was available before 1975. My approach was to take influence of the Jamaican musicians (and recording styles) of the mid-seventies, and their infatuation with American Soul music. If you dig it, that would be great. Knowing that BOWIE digs it, I’m over the moon.

David Byrne & St. Vincent - Road to Nowhere (Live)

The Shock World Service is a 100 episode collection of painstakingly assembled audio collages of soundtracks, electronic oddness & spoken word.

Started in 2007 by Jon Averill as a way to further explore & expand musical horizons beyond the mainly dance floor-centric music he was playing at the time  &  as an antidote the cheapening of the mixtape format by the glut of .mp3 mixes online with no track listing, no artwork & no real attention to detail applied to them. 

"A provider of collage-heavy, loosely hauntological soundscapes" – Fact Mag

"One of the most enlightening and entertaining track lists we’ve ever been sent, nay of all time" – It's Nice That
