Skimming Not Swimming

Is it really 25 years since Two Lone Swordsmen released remix album/EP Swimming Not Skimming? Apparently so. On 25th November 1996, Andrew Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood shared a clutch of new songs and remixes on 2x 12" and CD with slightly different tracks and running orders on each format. I bought it on shiny disc a couple of years later and it's one of Weatherall's best, in any of his various guises and incarnations.

Today's selection is a 5-track sampler, skimming some choice tracks (do you see what I did there?). In The Nursery's remix is exclusive to the CD version and the Musique Tropique remix of Rico's Helly only appeared on the vinyl version.

1) In The Nursery Visit Glenn Street [Glenn Street Assault Squad] (1996)
2) Rico's Helly (Retailored By Nourizadeh & Teasdale aka Omid Nourizadeh & Anthony Teasdale) (1996)
3) Glide By Shooting (Remix By Andrew Weatherall & Keith Tenniswood) (1996)
4) Rico's Helly (Musique Tropique Remix By Andy Carrick & Kevin McKay) (1996)
5) Flossie Wears Paco And Ralph (Remix By Andrew Weatherall & Keith Tenniswood) (1996)
 
 
A couple of other records released on the same day in 1996 and worth a mention:
