Kosmos


Back in November as part of the Monday Long Song thing he kicked off earlier this year Drew posted the nine minute version of Morning Wonder by The Earlies, a wonderful piece of music, sort of psychedelic folk with krauty rhythms. You can find it here with the download link still intact. In places it reminds me of this still amazing sounding Brendan Lynch remix of Paul Weller from 1993, Weller sent twisting around the kosmos by producer Brendan Lynch, on a dub- jazz- electronic mayhem trip.

Kosmos (Lynch Mob Bonus Beats)


Only a few years earlier The Style Council had their last hit single and Top Of The Pops appearance with their cover of Joe Smooth's house classic Promised Land. Everything about this clip is great- Weller and Mick Talbot on twin pianos, Dee's performance at the front, Mick's beard, the fun they all seem to be having.

I had a one sided promo 12" of that mix of 'Kosmos' once, but it went walkies. Brilliant to hear it again.

I love this remix so much.

As for the council hoose music, shocked me at the time but a good version that got non house heads seeking out the original, no bad thing.

I must've missed totp that Thu night. I think it's a good cover of the joe smooth classic.

Got to admit that my favourite version is Kosmos SXDub 2000 off the Sunflower single.
