Like any good record nerd, one of my greater pleasures is the alchemical conversion of dollar bin records into digital gold. Here's the cream of my latest excursion:
Sheila Hylton - The Bed's Too Big Without You
Sly & Robbie (aka the greatest rhythm duo of all time) provide the foundation for this incredible cover. If all Police songs had this kind of groove, I would be a much, much bigger fan.
Eurhythmics - Paint A Rumour (Jellybean Mix)
From an import comp of mixes by dance pioneers Francois K & Jellybean, this song fits in perfectly with the space-italo-disco that's all the rage in certain circles. Like mine.
Bran Van 3000 feat. Curtis Mayfield - Astounded (Demon Remix)
In perhaps my most favorite bizarre dollar bin find, BV3K of "Drinking in LA" fame apparently put out a second album that never made it to the US, but which included a previously unreleased Curtis Mayfield vocal track; this filter-house mix from the 12" single edits the lyrics to create the perfectly devastating couplet: I just want to love you/I just want to cry.
