The Vividly Imagined Experience

A belated happy birthday to Jack Dangers aka John Corrigan and mainstay of Meat Beat Manifesto, who turned 58 on 11th January. 

I've been a fan ever since I heard Love Mad, MBM's contribution to the first issue of the Volume book/CD series in 1991, followed shortly by the discovery of Andrew Weatherall's incredible remix of Psyche-Out released the year before.

Since then, I've picked up many MBM/Jack Dangers remixes and the occasional album through the 1990s and early 2000s, losing track as we moved further into the 21st Century.

Today's selection then mainly focuses on the 1990s with a single nudge into the 2000s courtesy of a mega-rare promo 12" (reportedly 25 copies) remix of Freddy Fresh that thankfully turned up on a CD compilation for we Johnny Come Latelys.

Those glancing ahead to the tracklisting below can be reassured that the remix of The Shamen's notorious hit single Ebeneezer Goode has removed any trace of Mr. C's cheesy rap!

1) Euthanasia: Meat Beat Manifesto (1992)
2) Killer Inside Me (Meat Beat Manifestation Version 2): MC 900 Ft. Jesus (1991)
3) The Circular Cosmic Spot: Meat Beat Manifesto ft. Wyndham Lewis (1992)
4) Ebeneezer Goode (MBM Instrumental) (Remix By Meat Beat Manifesto): The Shamen (1992)

6) I Am Electro: Meat Beat Manifesto (1997)
7) Pallas Athena (Gone Midnight Mix By Meat Beat Manifesto): David Bowie (1993)

  1. Great selection here, I also love the early 90's period of their work. Always nice to see another rabid fan of Jack Danger's output.

    1. Thanks, Mooz, glad you liked it. I really enjoyed your Jack Dangers/MBM mixes late last year. The 'Recent Years' selection was especially interesting simply because I've not kept up with his output since the early 2000s. Keep 'em coming!
