This cones with a remix which brings the vocal forward from a whisper to something more composed. However, it’s the original I prefer mainly due to its funky sensibility and bleeps. This is twenty years old but it feels like I was playing it out only yesterday. (I MAY WELL HAVE BEEN). The other Conrad Black, “Conrad Moffat Black, Baron Black of Crossharbour (born 25 August 1944), is a Canadian-British writer and former politician, newspaper publisher, financier, and convicted felon”, spells his name with a ‘C’, so as to avoid confusion. “Minimal” was at the height of its powers when this came out, on Mathew Jonson;s label as well. Wagon Repair though didn’t dabble in the routine squeaks and squelches that Minus did. The tunes seemed deliberately created to be deployed in the midst of anonymity in order to create ‘wow’ moments. There aren’t any “minimal” DJs anyway. No one would ever play an entire set of that stuff. Of course Hawtin’s ‘DE9’ highlighted what might happen if one did, and it was construed in such a way that could only eleicit a lot of interest. The truth though, is that even though these DJs were covered by that umbrella, they never entirely played in the style they often produced.
