Apollo Four Forty* – Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub

The B side Matrix remix is well worth the price of admission

I don't understand why they decided to edit the AVH and Escape from NY remixes down, rather pointless really, and especially makes the Escape From New York Remix difficult for DJs to mix out of, eliminating a good two and a half minutes of goodness and a proper outro.

So these superb remixes in full can only be found on the promo 2X12" 20 years later.

If only Sony of A440 themselves would see the sense to make the full length remixes, including Armands Snake Style remix available digitally. But they have none.

This is a classic and well over looked jungle tune from 1997. An amusing time in my life as well. I first heard it at the end of a botched trip to see a Lonnie Fisher rave party in Virginia. Lonnie's parties were weird in that they started in the afternoon and ended when most other parties like this would start. I forgot about this. So by the time we got there the High End Systems trackspot luminaries were being packed up in a van. We caught an afterparty flyer at least. The afterparty was in a bar and this track was being played. My friend thought it was cheesy as hell but I loved it. I didn't know much about Van Halen at the time other then Jump so the joke was lost on me. I just thought it sounded sweet and it still does. Few tunes can sum up an entire night like this one can for me. Its a jem!
