Odd to think that Mick Jones’ Big Audio Dynamite was the only post Clash project to emerge with any credibility or lasting legacy. This particular track was huge, and is apparently inspired by the films of Nick Roeg, the verses each reference specific films and the spoken word samples come from ‘Performance’. Anyways, it’s a nice piece of work and takes my back to 1991 when I was at Rutgers University in New Jersey and BAD played an open air gig on the campus, along with The Farm and Downtown Science. Memires are incredibly hazy, but I was definitely there. There is an extended remix of this track ,but it’s not that much longer than the original. So, it’s another one crying out for an edit innit. And why not a future ALFOS classic? Or has it already done its time there?
