Actually it was Ballistic Brothers, but i'm not sure if I would call it a
cover. there are some voices that chant love supreme, but the melody is
not the same. Chunky breakbeat funk with nice tablas though!
What a fun thread! Brian Baltin covered almost all the bases, nuff
respect.
Hear Hear on that Phyllis Dillon track. That intro is nasty!
Though I have to say there's a blur between remix and cover ... then you
have all the re-edits as well... this conversation could go on a long time
...
I would add a few
(off the top of the dome ... i'm not going to distinguish between cover
and remix, lets just say a nice re-interpretation of a song from a
different context):
*Kenny Dope's version of Shirley Bassey's Light My Fire
*Bobby Hughes remix of that old soul track 'I just wanna make love to you'
*Candido's cover of Santana's cover of Baba Olatunji's Jingo
*MAW's Nina simone See Line Woman
*Joe Bataan's cover of The Bottle by Gil Scott Heron
*the re-works of Archie Shepp's Sea of Faces on Mo'Smog (i forget the
artists... Eddy and Dus maybe)
*Massive Attack's rework of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Must Kalandar
*Nickodemus & Osiris's cover of Timmy Thomas's why cant we live together
*The whole Darker than Blue album, reggae covers of soul songs
*Digable Planets - Roy Ayers' We live in Brooklyn
*Foxy Brown - Tracy Chapman's baby can I hold u tonight aka 'Sorry'
*Senor Coconut's Trans-Europe-Express ...
and my all time favorite,
Sean Puffy Combs - Every Breath You Take :P
peace
