If you subscribe to Richard Norris' monthly Bandcamp deal you'll have received a CD through the post recently, a limited edition five track EP release from The Time And Space Machine, a solo project that sounds like a band from the end of the first decade of the 21st century. Good Morning is slow motion, late 60s, sunrise psychedelia with sitars, shakers, a 3 string cigar box guitar and Richard singing 'Good morning/ Time to face the day...'.
As well as Good Morning, the EP has remixes from Leftside Wobble, Saint Etienne and Coyote, all dating from 2012 or thereabouts. Coyote aim for a Balearic sunrise, less San Francisco in '69 more Ibiza in '91. Leftside Wobble go for a beat driven remix, propelled by an enormous bassline and ecstatic synths. For their remix Saint Etienne add a clubby rhythm track and loops, a piano line and what sounds like Sarah Cracknell adding a vocal part, sounding like she's just woken up. Time to face the day.
I completely missed this first time around in 2012, it's wonderful, isn't it? I really can't fault any of the remixes, none stray too far from the original but all give a slightly different shade to the song. Love it!
