The Aloof - Favelas

Warners / EastWest YZ930CD. 1995

It never fails to boil my piss when you buy a single and you're fobbed off with 400 remixes instead of a B side. Especially when they have no elements of the original whatsoever, or even fit into the same genre.

The original is a lumbering, falloloping (is that a word?) beast of a tune, a bit like a hippo strolling through molassas. Then we have 3 terrible techno remixes that are bland, flavour-free efforts. Worth keeping for the original though.
