Sting like a bee
randy watson experience - be still my beating heart (sting cover) (mp3)
please note - enjoyment of the following post may be dependant on which side of the atlantic you reside. americans seem to love sting, and hold him with a reverence which seems strange to people on this end of the pond. we stare on in disbelief at the scores of sting sample-led hip-hop records which offer him instant credibility, and this still shows no signs of abaiting. it can’t be denied that the man can write a great tune (with “shape of my heart” being a personal favourite), and this cover version from ubiquity’s upcoming “rewind 5″ compilation shows just that.
?uestlove’s pet project the randy watson experience apply their beautiful soul-tinged perspective to the track, with shifting, often unsettling vocals playing as an important piece as ?uestloves drumming in this perfect piece of late-night lounging. rewind 5 is on 11th april.

N & W added these pithy words on Mar 20 06 at 5:37 pmThe Glimmer Twins, alias Mo & Benoelie are two sound freaks annex DJ’s with a passion for pleasing the crowd. They have been a part of the Belgian party scene from the early days of the “roaring 80ies” through to a variety of electronic music of the ’90s. Their varied mix selection can be pinpointed by their need for soul fullness. Their most striking quality is that they can make everybody move, by choosing and combining the best records out of the history of popular and contemporary music. Now Mo & Benoelie are resident-dj’s at Culture Club (the new Belgian top club), Eskimo, Bel Mondo, Kozzmozz and Poplife.
Inspired by Grandmaster Flash and DMC contest tapes they started DJ’ing together in 1985 in a small club in Ghent. They covered not only hiphop but also popular tunes from that time and classics from way back. In ‘92 Mo & Benoelie went along with the house revolution and from that moment on, they were invited to the most important gigs in Belgium and in the rest of Europe. They played with the likes of Carl Craig, Moodymann, Alex Patterson, Juan Atkins, Depth Charge, Derrick May, Dave Clarke, Ashley Beedle, Harvey, Faze Action, Kevin Saunderson, Aphex Twin, Howie B, Dzihan & Kamien, Kruder & Dorfmeister. In the meantime Benoelie worked in “Music Man”, the major record & import shop in Belgium. His passions for sounds made him quit his job and take up an audio engineering course in Amsterdam. He was also A&R-manager at R&S records. Mo just finished his Art school in Amsterdam (famous Rietveld academy). Now he’s busy with a sound installation project all over Europe.

Daniel Reverel added these pithy words on Apr 07 06 at 5:49 pmSting can write some maudlin stuff and be a facetious wanker but listen to album’s like Ten Summoner’s Tales and you understand why he is sampled so often … the man had a gift for interesting and enjoyable melodies in his prime.
