Flaming Groovies
Miaow! This is great.
I was trying to work out how to describe it, then remembered that Pure Groove (on whose recommendation i'd bought it), had called it as pretty much like a Chemical Brothers remix of 'I Feel Love'. And since that's about spot on i'll leave it at that.
It's in fact a remix by Michael Ivins, bassist with The Flaming Lips. Quite what it's doing tucked away on the b-side of a 12" by Detroit rockers The Come Ons i've not quite worked out yet. I can only assume that they did a cover and then Michael Ivins remixed it? Whatever. That's not important right now. All you need to know that it's Moroder & Summers' classic pulled and distorted through a dirty mangle. THAT bassline remains of course, but it's augmented by overdriven wah-wahing guitars and a pounding kick drum.
It gets me going anyway.
THE COME ONS - I FEEL LOVE (MICHAEL IVINS FEEDING TUBE MANGLE MIX)
I think this is a pretty limited twelve, as I was struggling to find it last week. Fortunately Pure Groove got some more copies in & I snagged one... not sure where you can find it now though. I had a quick scout of the usual places without turning anything up. So good luck vinyl hunters!
