Happy New Year, everyone! In the interests of avoiding posting any on-the-nose songs by U2 or ABBA, here's a relatively forgotten remix of Deadly Avenger from twenty years ago instead. The "v2" remix is a good one to loop if you're planning a walk/fresh air to clear that fuzzy head. Both v1 & v2 appeared on the 2002 single We Took Pelham, albeit respectively exclusive to the 12" and CD single formats.
The Future Sound Of London only released one other 'Cosmic Jukebox' remix - Paths by Robert Miles, which I featured previously here. I've only discovered from researching this post that there was a planned then scrapped 'Cosmic Jukebox' project, which was subsequently replaced by the long-running A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble series.
The 'Cosmic Jukebox' sideline also pointed the way to the re-emergence of Amorphous Androgynous, with their incredible album The Isness that same year.
Amorphous Androgynous returned last year with We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal, an epic 6-part single/mini-album and remix companion, featuring Peter Hammill on lead vocals and Paul Weller tucked away in the mix, tinkling the ivories.
A new album, Listening To The Head Chakra, has been promised for a few years now but may finally see the light of day in 2022.
