Teardrop Trouble

I'm a bit raw at the moment so I'm just going to stick to some music until I get my thoughts together. Thank you to everyone who sent messages ahead of the funeral on Friday, to those of you who wrote posts and to JC (The Vinyl Villain) who came from Glasgow to South Manchester, in his words, to represent the blogging community. 

This Norman Cook remix of Trouble Understanding is a very nicely understated thing indeed, from a man who isn't necessarily always known for restraint or understatement. There's a Massive Attack Teardrop sample in there too. A gorgeous five minutes of sun coming up Balearic/ indie- gospel.

This is Massive Attack's Teardrop dubbed out by Mad Professor and Elizabeth Fraser making another appearance on these pages after the Ian McCulloch song a few days ago. .

Lovely mix of Teardrop.
Was thinking of you on Friday Adam. Don't put yourself under any pressure at all for a while and just go with how you feel, about anything in life. But most of all, take care.

I love all things Mad Professor and his album this year with Xan Tyler is one of many 2021 highlights. His remixes of Massive Attack are essential. The Norman Cook remix was an unexpected delight, too. Good to hear from you.
