I must apologize
Well, if anyone cares, I've been terribly remiss about updating this blog-thingy. However, I've also been tremendously blown away, to the point where I'm calling the single of the year right now. You can get it if you go over to Stypod and check the Feb. 28, 2005 entry.
The track is called "Kiss Me Again and Again" and it's by Polmo Polpo, a Canadian DJ who has released a few 12" on his own label Audi Sensa, some of which were later compiled onto a release called The Science of Breath for the magnificent Alien8 Recordings (check out that album cover, BTW). A lot of his stuff seems to be what they might call "Deep Ambient Disco" if they called it things like that. As it is, I don't know what they call it. But his full-length on A8 garnered comparisons (from A8, incidentally) to one of my favorites from last year, Tim Hecker.
He also released a full-length on Constellation Records, best known as the home of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, or wherever they've decided to locate the exclamation point these days.
But this EP/single (clocking in at 21 minutes) is another beast altogether, out on heretofore unknown (to me) Intr-Version Records. The very first thing that hit me when I heard this track was Arthur Russell in big bold thinking letters. This track actually takes from Dinosaur L's "Kiss Me Again" - produced by Russell and released on his own Sleeping Bag records on their 24-24 Music LP in 1983(?). But Polmo Polpo's version takes from all segments of Russell's composition. I think the closest analog that I can draw his the track "Let's Go Swimming (Walter Gibbons Mix)" that was rerelased on the World of Arthur Russell comp last year - which is excellent and should be purchased through Soul Jazz Records.
Anyway, this track moves through funk, experimental pop, traditionally "indie" melodies, etc, seamlessly over the course of 21 minutes and riding a big, unfailing dance beat. The production is impeccable - you can follow every movement in this track and still be surprised where you end up. Within 10 minutes after I'd heard this over at Stypod, I'd bought the disc - which apparently is only available in a limited run of 500. I'd suggest you go get it right this minute. Intr-Version helpfully lists US stores that carry it on their website.
But if you need a little help, buy it atForced Exposure.
