Cynic’s Felix Dickinson teams up with record dealer to the stars Nick the Record and Mark Eagling to bring the long awaited second edition on Recycled Records, whose first release ‘The Drive’ came out back in 1996, long before the current trend of edits. Nick & Mark aka ‘Friendly and Forgetful’ have worked on various Re-edit projects since then, such as the Counterpoint releases Lanier - 25 Hours, Paper Doll – Get Down Boy & Clarice Labbe – There’s No Other Love. Their flangetastic edit ‘Handle With Care’ has been a staple of Nick’s Japanese sets for the last 5 years, and now due to popular demand is finally getting a vinyl release. Felix and Nick (Foolish and Friendly), got in the studio again back in 2010 to do an edit of Mandre’s M3000 for Rush hour. Here their edit of ‘Direct Hit’ has similar pumping acid undercurrents with a driving live bassline and sparse guitar licks over the top. Finally we have (Foolish) Felix’s edit of ‘Jungle Warfare’, this weirdo jews harp flavoured bit of cosmidelica may well sound familiar as a few people have had a crack at editing it recently, but this version does away with all the camp vocals from the original to just leave the raw chugging backbone of the track. Three disco bombs primed and ready to destroy a dance floor near you! |
