Track Of The Day: Floppy Sounds - Ultrasong ((François K Studio A Mix) (Wave)


I can remember buying this from a young Ivan Smagghe at Rough Trade Paris like it was last week. (Actually, I can remember lots of similar transactions taking place, so this one isn’t unique, but I can’t use this phrase too often, so let’s get it over and done with.) This double pack is all about François K’’s Studio A & Studio B mixes. Each go off in a slightly different direction tempo wise, and each is every bit as good as the other. It’s just a question of choosing the version that best suits the occasion. This particular mix differs from the other in view of the fact that it has a great kick and a better low end. There’s also the intermittent flange and that pervasive electric guitar strum also, around the middle, there’s a bit where the syncopation goes to uncharted regions of the diaphragm. The other mix is a bit more out there, while this one is much more linear and a better tool. Horses for courses innit.
