And if it's mixed with mud
I'm a bit bleary headed from the weekend still, however i've been woken up slightly by being sent something so hot that if it was played on the radio it would be accompanied by a sound effect. Maybe saying 'ex-ex-ex-ex-exclusive' with a ton of echo.
Erol Alkan had planned to release this track on the next 'Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve' album - his project with Richard Norris (from The Grid) producing re-edits of psychrock classics. Since Arthur Lee's death, they decided that it could be construed as cashing in to include this on the album, so at the moment there are no plans for it to see a proper release.
Being a re-edit, it's not a massive departure from the original - the main difference being the addition of some funky-assed drumming that eventually turns to an acid-washed instrumental freakout.
It'd be a shame if this doesn't get released as it's kinda great. As Erol says, 'the biggest joy to doing the BTWS edits is seeing kids absorb this incredible music, some of which was made 40 - 50 years ago'. It'd be great to see a dancefloor losing it to this....
LOVE - A HOUSE IS NOT A MOTEL (BEYOND THE WIZARD'S SLEEVE RE-EDIT)
Also, I know it's been on a few blogs already, but here's the Wizard's Sleeve remix of Peter, Bjorn & John - adding a squeeze of psychedelia to one of the anthems of the summer.
PETER, BJORN & JOHN - YOUNG FOLKS (BEYOND THE WIZARD'S SLEEVE REMIX)
Here's the video for the original version, which is surely going to be crashing the charts soon? I must admit i've not heard any of the other remixes. Do any of them turn this into the housed-up monster that threatens to emerge from the song? I'm quite curious about the Tomas Andersson version, but i've not heard anyone singing its praises.
You can grab a couple of the other remixes from here and from here.
If you're after something else by Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve, over at XXJFG you should be able to find 'I Swim Around' - a version of Hallo Gallo by Neu!, and the best track from the last LP ('Spring').
