‘Arrange whatever pieces come your way’ is Openout’s first EP.

Each track is made entirely from four 7" records chosen at random from flea markets and record stores.

FOLLOWING 

On the 22nd of February 2015 we went into Sister Ray Records in Soho, London, and with our eyes closed we picked out these '£1 Jukebox Classics' that became "Following":

The Bangles - Following (1987)
 The Beegees - 855 7019 (1994) 
Eurythmics - Paint a Rumour (1983)
The Motors - Airport (1978)


ELECTRIC AVENUE

On the 1st of August 2015, without looking we picked out four 7" singles at random from 'The North Laine Antique Flea Market' on Upper Gardner Street, Brighton, UK:

Cliff Richard - Visions (1966)
Nils Lofgren & Grin - Slippery Fingers (1972)
Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue (1982)
Kim Wilde - Water on Glass (1981)

I was glad to see 'Electric Avenue' by Eddy Grant in the bunch. It's a song about the struggles of immigrants living in Brixton in the 80s.

The original 'Electric Avenue' sounds upbeat (despite its lyrics that speak of deprivation and racial discrimination)and so I decided to give this remake a sinister, sharp sound, inspired by the music of 'The Prodigy'.


GOING UNDER (I WANT SOME FILLER, I WANT SOME KILLER)

This ambient techno & drum and bass track was built from these blindly chosen records, picked on the 11th February 2016 from 'The North Laine Antique Flea Market’ in Brighton, UK:

Marillion - Going Under (1987)
Tracey Ullman - Sunglasses (1984)
Adam and the Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier (1980)
Best Shot - United Colours (Ciao Italia Edit) (1994)
