Laurie Anderson - O Superman / Walk The Dog

I love O superman as a tune, and any remix of it is gonna get my ears open! The Matt John Remix is really good; a nice piece of minimal with quality bass work, a tune to shake your ass to in a git down! fashion. But what I'm after here is clever use of the original tune, and Matt John has just used the 'ah ah ah' bits leaving out the vocals - a shame. Reboot's rework is good, and very clever, took a while to get it but it weaves the vocal into the tune really well, with unsuspecting drops and nice bass. On this vinyl I prefer the original; it has to be this! Nothing too clever, just a really funky bassline using most of the Laurie Anderson original, a tune that is immediately fresh, funky, danceable and very uplifting, some lovely sonix pick up as the vocals continue towards the end, leaving you craving more and more and more.
A vinyl WELL worth getting, purely for the original alone; Cuban's rework to use as a nice tool in a 3+ dex set, and Matt John's remix for some quality 'O Superman' checkin' quality minimal techno.

A worthy nod to the original:

'Cause when love is gone, there's always justice.
And when justive is gone, there's always force.
And when force is gone, there's always Mom. Hi Mom!

So hold me, Mom, in your long arms. So hold me,
Mom, in your long arms.
In your automatic arms. Your electronic arms.
In your arms.
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
Your petrochemical arms. Your military arms.
In your electronic arms.'

Brilliant!

This is a great re-release of a groundbreaking piece of music, with an interesting back story here in the UK; namely that we used to put singles in the charts based on music rather than image.

By the way... does anyone else's copy of this have the labels on the wrong sides, and play at 33 rather than 45 as indicated? After several online searches, still haven't found any indication of this being a common pressing fault.
