Hiya! I've been frequently amazed by the tom tom mix you do on these classic tracks. (well, not this example I guess as it is the original, but you know what I mean).
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge Models AND James Freud fan, and I was wondering if you did any remixes of Modern Girl, Enemy Lines, or Automatic Crazy, or indeed any Models tracks? (Two Cabs to the Toucan comes to mind as having huge scope for remix).
Anyway, loving your site - all the best!
Hi, would love to get a flac of this please, sorry, can't stand mp3s, they sound awful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the MP3 quality (But at least you get it!!), but if you can I would still like to get this mix. \Now unfortunately, all these links are down because rapidshare is a no longer service.
ReplyDeleteThe Christie Allen I would have liked plus a couple others. Hope someone checks on this and re-ups these links again. Great Site. I'm also looking for the -The Aliens Translator LP. have the single for "Confrontation". Also Andrew Durant memorial. Thanks again !!!
