Hero To Zero…

Vangelis - He-O (Leo Zero re-work) (MP3)

Leo Elstob Cosmodelica Mix (September 2008) (MP3)

Here at BFF head quarters, it’s no secret that we are big fans of all things AMO1/Leo Elstob - we certainly mention them/him enough (I think Kev even has posters on his wall).  Anyway, being the good egg that he is, he has fired another couple of (semi) exclusives at us. First up is a top notch re-work of BFF hero, Vangelis. Lifted from the seminal “Earth” album, “He-O” is one of my favourite tracks off the album, that and the behemoth that is “Let it Happen”. Fantastic stuff.

Second up is a mix due to be aired on Cosmo’s Ministry Of Sound show tonight (Thurs 4th). To quote Leo himself, “it’s a 35 minute mix, featuring a dub-disco cut up of The Congo’s “Congaman Chant” and the acapella of Circuits “Shelter”, and a new Rush re-edit. Enjoy”. Just had a listen to this now at work, and it’s pretty ace…

thanks for posting cosmo mix. Up to your usual high standard.. Do you know where I could find a tracklisting? In particular the track starting at 18:45 and the ‘night train’ tune towards the end.
thanks again - and keep up the good work

As Kev says, from the man himself.

However, I think the tracks in particular, are…

- Indambinig - Zimba (Factory Records 12″ - sooo good!)

and

- Rat Salad Edits (no idea what the original is, but it sounds suspiciously like Kurt Hauenstein to me. Any one have any ideas?)

Just picked up Steve Winwood - Arc of A Diver LP. There is a track called “Night train”…that would be the rat salad edit…
