Various - Cutting Remixes - Vol. 1

Just bought this of iTunes because of the review above. I've been after some of these classics for ages, and they still sound fresh.

The Dub mix of Al-Naafyish is just as I remember it - loads of drops, cuts & scratches... if I could break I would be popping King Tuts and locking right now! A seminal historic piece of dance music.

I'd not heard of Hashim's Chateau Vie but no matter, it's a strong record in it's own right... the type of thing those dudes at Clone and CBS love, instrumental, futuristic US electro.

Finally, I'm really into that Latin Hip Hop sound of Sa-Fire, both tracks here are excellent... sugar sweet female vocals and with the bonus of the Latin Rascals being on the mix, another day at the office then splicing the tape together boys?! Each cut is on the beat and the production is hot.

I first heard the "It's About Time" Remix of Hashim's "Al-Naafiysh" on the late night mixmasters radio show on "AM Stereo, K D A Y" in 1987. The track was mixed in after L A Dream Team's "Rockberry Jam". When I heard the "It's, It's, It's It's It's, It's Time/It's It's" and "Just Move Your Body To The Beat.... Feel It" I knew I had to have this remix! For the next two years I only had this remix on that tape of the Mixmasters Show recorded off the radio that night! All the time wishing that KDAY was an FM Radio station, as AM loses signal and sound quality at night (you could also hear other radio stations coming blending through). After finally finding the remix on a used copy of this remix album a few years later, I lost track of the cassettes I had recorded of the mixmasters show. This first remix of Al-Naafiysh is thee best IMO. Also, it would have been nice to have still had those old K D A Y Mixmaster Show cassettes recorded off the radio! :-)

This compilation is an awesome Remix collection from Cutting Records. The "It's about time" Remix of Hashim's "Al-Naafiysh" is a essential Dub Version of the track, a must-have for ANY true collector. It has the "It's Tiiiiiime.."-vocal only underlayed by hihats. And it's still possible to get your hands on more than one copy out there. Find it in second-hand stores.
