How Does It Feel?

How does it feel? is one of music's great questions- yesterday's postee Bob Dylan famously asked it in 1966, 'to be on your own/ like a complete unknown/ like a rolling stone?' Mod art- rockers The Creation asked how it feels to feel. In 1983 New Order wanted to know how it feels to treat me like you do. In 1989 Spacemen 3 asked it too, in typical style asking it over and over, part of a dark and trippy hymn to feeling- 'we could make love and live as one/ and burn our fingers on the sun/ so tell me, how does it feel?' Pete Kember in 1989 asking a question which sounds like it's about love but is just as likely about drugs. 

How Does It Feel?

This re- edit from the good people at Paisley Dark appeared a few days ago, an eight minute re- edit by Jesse Fahnestock, available at Bandcamp for free/ pay what you like. How Does It Feel? (1040's Terrace Moonshine Dub) stretches the original out and strips it down, a slow down and wait reworking.

  4. How Does It Make You Feel? by Air ft. Junior Delgado (Adrian Sherwood Remix, natch) also worth a mention.

    I'm enjoying the 10:40 remix and got sidetracked into discovering and purchasing further Paisley Dark releases by Dan Wainwright.

    Thanks also to Jesse for the All Of Us link. I listened to some snippets, liked what I heard and bought the album.

    Luckily it was pay day Friday, but some great music to enjoy this bank holiday weekend.
