All That Matters


This is a lovely way to start a Sunday, a blissful, luscious new remix of Hannah Peel by Richard Norris (Hannah sings on the Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve album so this a favour returned). All the requisite elements are present and correct- a chunky drumbeat, piano, wobbly bass, sweeping strings and a swoonsome vocal. Richard has located the sweet spot, that point just before ecstasy tips into melancholy.

As said - an amazing way to start a Sunday.

I've been really enjoying this one. There is something about the arrangement that feels like Flotation (by The Grid) - especially the sound & timing of that deeper piano line.

That is excellent and as the walker says very reminiscent of Flotation

Thanks to this I also just checked out her original version which I really like too, and then whilst listening to that, in the side bar of youtube her cover of Tainted Love popped up, which I knew nothing about and which I thought was really different and great. So, thank you, SA!

And 25 years just melt away...suddenly it's 5am on a Sunday morning and I'm not just chilling out, I'm chilling down. This is a musical marriage made in heaven.

That's what it's all about isn't it.

Haven't heard Tainted Love, will check it out.

Is the Wizard's Sleeve album worth getting? Have I asked that before? A few people I know have raved (!) about it.
