History & the buzz about it

Nice plodding track although does not do much for me.

7/10 I think.

It's a good wee tune for the terrace in Space on a Sunday.

I'm intrigued by their guerilla-art-esque reasons why only a run of 60... ostensibly to get a buzz going around the tune & the label & to royally fuck off the vinyl nerds phones:

Needless to say they've all gone - the only digi versions are 128k... what's the betting one goes up on Ogs in a few weeks for the strong part of 200 dabs ?

Like the tune a lot, a bassy groover if ever I heard one.

The 60 print run is an interesting idea. I was chatting to the guy behind Duff Disco, who is doing the same, vinyl only releases. It's really only for dj's I guess, but creates a bit of a buzz.

I think he's got a point of it being art, but I fear things have gone too far now, the kids treat music as free and downloadable. I think the days of record shopping or buying music in non digital form are numbered, despite the joy of it.

The Parada 88 ain't really a remake imo - it's a tune in it's own right

Thanks for link Shooms/Tim

The tune isn't bad, its not "wow" but a decent groover with a nice breakdown. Tastefully done.

Much prefer the original, but I was bound to say that!!!

In fact what only really stands out here is the marketing and tactics. Hats off.

In that lies my serious niggle....

Its hype yes, but based on an "ok" remake/remix.

What happened to being maverick AND having originality in music????

KLF is an obvious but necessary comparison. They had it nailed.

Unfortunately this thought has just reinforced what I miss oh so much about what it was like back then....

I love the original and I think Parada 88 have done a fine job remaking this tune

Sorta cyclical... I sold a mini collection for 190 odd quid a few months back 100% of which went to the same cause... vinyl... rebuilding lives phones:
