With A Glimmer Of Hope
Rheingold - Dreiklangsdimensionen (MP3)
Chicago - I’m A Man (Rub ‘n’ Tug Edit) (MP3)
A night so good it takes you a week to get over it? Last Thursday saw The Glimmers (née Twins) take over a dank Manchester basement to give us a taste of the music they love to eat. It was all part of San Miguel’s “Hidden Depths” tour, and The Glimmers invited hip-hop luminary GrandMaster Flash to open up his bag of tricks.
It must be said that a rather fantastic night was had by all in attendance (I especially like the picture above, the dude in the middle is quite reminisent of one of Banksy’s greats) and I seriously hope said Twins weren’t too annoyed by a “mystery blogger” chewing their ear off with tales of a long lost love of Eskimo compilations, and how many of his wasted years in retail were soundtracked by their eclectic selections. As a little tribute, I thought I’d pick two of my favourite tracks from their compilations past and present - an chuggy cosmic Rheingold number from Serie Noire Vol 2, and the Rub ‘n’ Tug edit from their DJ Kicks, previously only available on a super limited Rong 12″. This should hopefully go some way to helping make up for the fact that you probably weren’t at one of the greatest nights to hit Manchester for a while. Hmmm, at least I think it was - now if only I can remember what actually happened …
