And sure, Scritti is responsible for that :)

The thing that still does it for me is the way the song modulates from the intro into the verse and then finally into the refrain. My head is still popping off when I hear it and I am sure the same thing happened to Miles Davis. Miles did a cover of Perfect Way on his album Tutu.

Lots of effects and remixing tricks, typical 80′s stuff, but still a cool mix.

An interesting remix, monoish sounding (maybe caused by a ‘not so Perfect’ file-conversion?), but with a few interesting twists.

This is a very interesting one. It fooled me. At first I thought it was the original version but it’s not. The mix is different. I have not A/B compared it to the original version yet. Would be something for an interesting discussion I guess. Just leave your comments below!

I have seen Miles Davis perform Perfect Way many times here in The Hague, Holland, at the North Sea Jazz Festival. The best gigs for me were those with John Scofield on guitar. But this speedy version is also right on the money I must say!

The Word Girl (edit) http://bibbly-o-tek.com/2006/05/14/free-moral-agent-vs-the-word-girl-edit/ http://bibbly-o-tek.com/2006/05/14/free-moral-agent-vs-the-word-girl-edit/#comments Sun, 14 May 2006 14:15:44 +0000 Ellen http://bibbly-o-tek.com/2006/05/14/free-moral-agent-vs-the-word-girl-edit/ Bibbly recieved this intricate remix of The Word Girl from Free Moral Agent.

Free Moral Agent VS. The Word Girl (edit)

An explanation from Free Moral Agent:
I’ll give you some clues on this mix as far as samples. All of the musical elements in this mix is derived from sounds from the song “The Word Girl”, just manipulated in certain ways: The main keyboard sounds are sampled from the end of the song, before the piano ending: I also used the vocoder at the end also for more displacement of format from the original tune: The only instrument not directly from the song is the sub-bass and a patch I created with FabFilter. Guitar is sampled from the song as well.

Most of the vocal samples are derived from the BBC Documentary and some old tapes I’ve had from interviews long ago. Part of the fun of listening to this mix is figuring out where the vocal samples came from. If you watch the Doc you will realize most of whats going on. I think there is one from Paddy McAloon as well, but still from the Documentary. I also used the 1-2 sample in the beginning from Born To Be.

It was definitely fun conceptualizing these mixes. I am completing a few more, which should be equally as interesting as well, that will be released on a very limited white lable promo 12″ later this year. Basically doing this whole project to flex my muscles with new equipment I am aquiring in preperation for my own releases, with an E.P slated later this summer/fall under Free Moral Agent/Michael Fields. If you would post this mp3 mix to the bibbly site, I would kindly appreciate it.

enjoy!!
