2000 - DAVID BOWIE - Fun [Dillinja Mix]

Este tema de drum 'n' bass fue construyéndose desde la gira de 1997 presentando el último gran álbum de Bowie hasta la fecha: Earthling. Nunca fue editado en su versión original, ni tampoco ninguno de sus posteriores y más conocidos remixes. Quizás el mejor y más fácil de conseguir fue éste, remezclado por Dillinja, e incluído en el doble CD LIVEANDWELL.COM de 2000 que se recibía al suscribirse a BowieNet.

No es que sea un tema memorable, pero quedará como el último coletazo del inquieto y creativo Bowie de los 90.

7/10

_________________________________________________

This drum 'n' bass theme was builded since the 1997 tour presenting the last great Bowie album to date: Earthling. It was never released in its original form, neither anyone of its subsequent and more known remixes. Maybe the best and the easier to get was this, remixed by Dillinja, and included on the 2000 double CD LIVEANDWELL.COM which was received with a subscription to BowieNet.

It's not that it's a memorable theme, but it'll remains as the last of the death throws by the creative Bowie of the 90's.

1986 - PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION - Mountains + Do U Lie?

Un par de psicodélicas muestras de Parade, un ecléctico y asombroso álbum de Prince. Así empezaba la cara B del vinilo, y es un fiel reflejo de la variedad de estilos del disco, que va del funk (el espléndido single Mountains, cantando con su mejor falsetto) al cabaret (Do U Lie?).

9,5/10

A pair of psychedelic samples from Parade, an eclectic and amazing Prince album.
