How Soon Is Dub


You may think that the recorded works of Morrissey, Marr, Rourke and Joyce are so sacrosanct that they shouldn't be mucked with. I don't as it happens, I'm more than  happy for people to rework and remix almost everything and anything if it's done well. Plus, seeing as Morrissey sees fit to spew shit all over his legacy there's no reason why the odd bootlegger and remixer shouldn't (and given his 'all reggae is vile' comment back in the 80s this seems even more fitting). This is a dub version of How Soon Is Now, using the original track, especially Johnny Marr's wonderful guitar parts, and adding the dub elements in increasingly as it rides on. As a bonus there's precious little Morrissey involved in it too.

Sorry, I have to say I don't like it. It's all a bit clunky.

No need to apologise Michael.

Although I like the clunkiness- sounds like it's being remixed live on an old console.

Pretty much was.
That is an appreciable quality of the early house/Balearic scene.
They were meant for a bit of a vibe and a dance - nothing much else

Add in a musty warehouse, some lasers and smoke and fluorescent art and you kind of get the picture..
