'splain this one to me: Renegade Soundwave

I know there is an RSW remix of PWEI's "Touched By The Hand Of Cicciolina" but I've never heard it -- seen it on eBay and got outbid a while back.

Also, far easier to find is a remix of Nitzer Ebb's "Lightning Man." I think you might still be able to buy that direct from Mute UK online even. And I just checked and a LOT of the old RSW singles are still in print from them too -- on vinyl and CD -- including the Women Respond To Bass joint! Wahoo!!!

"Underbelly" (Renegade Soundwave Blackout Mix)

which is on the Two Fingers My Friends Remixes album. Again, never heard it...

same goes for that underbelly remix .. i may have that somewhere ... have no recollection of if its a good un .. as that album is chocka with good/bad mixes (mostly good though)

i had forgotten they remixed bassomatics classic 'fascinating rhythm'.

wasn't until i dug the 'ease on by' ep out of the archive i realised.

so for the sake of this thread i have added it to the internet archive.

m.e

re: Bassomatic, a reminder that William Orbit's friend and often collaborator Rico Conning worked with Renegade Soundwave and other likeminded bands at the time. Prior to that he was in the post-punk band the Lines, who I hope to soon be reissuing.

Danny -- feel free to send me the Cicciolina remix! I am dying to hear it now!

the RSW mix is indeed on the 'ease on by' cd ep .. not sure if its on the vinyl versions ..

so I had a moment at work and was researching Wide Boy Awake, Kevin Mooney from Adam and the Ant's eclectic 3 or so ep's and that was it early/mid 80s act who gave us the suprise new wave dance classic Slang Teacher. While talking about the old punk days connections were made to fellow Ant Marco Pirronni and his prior band Rema Rema, which of course featured Gary from Renegade Soundwave(as well as 2 later Wolfgang Press).

I then see on the 4ad page that they put out a limited edition CD of the awesome Rema Rema 12" with notes by Kevin Mooney.

Then catching up with everyone, Mooney is working with Gary Ainsworth in a band called Lavender Pill Mob, which brought me to these links:

as well as a band called Mike's Bikes featuring Adam Ant. I suppose this query could be posted on an Adam Ant thread as well, but I'll take any chance to revive a Renegade Soundwave thread.

So what's this all about? This stuff any good? They also refer to him as Gary Ainsworth, so I'm confused.

(haha, I think I posted the same links on a *doodly doodly* Adam Ant thread! So all bases covered now. Good job, Dan. :) )

His shitty rapping actually helps this line, makes it more unexpected. "Soundclash" is indeed v good.

Soundclash still the best record ever.

I wish I still had my copy of "Thunder II". I can't remember which b-side it was, but one of them was extreme dubby fantasticness.

FYI: I was thinking of "Manphibian" here

Manphibian and Mash-Up are both awesome. A great ep.

recently read the Murder Music was originally a Rema Rema song. (Or Mass?) Makes sense. I would kill to hear an original recording of it if there ever was one.

I am tempted to nominate these guys in the hip-hop poll

I purchased an album of theirs because Pop Will Eat Itself listed them as something they dug on "Can You Dig It."

I didn't.

you should try again, and then keep trying until you love them

RSW >>> PWEI

especially as PWEI went on; the Poppies had 2 albums that were as consistently good as the RSW material but they had to ramp up to it and they fell off relatively quickly after they hit their stride

This is the Day... and Cure For Sanity are amazing tho

I remember jjj picked up the "Biting My Nails" single as a result of "Can U Dig It?" and by the time we got to "Kray Twins" we both knew RSW fucking owned

PWEI>>>Ciccone Youth

?

just comparing the poppies to people they reference in Can U DIg It?

Ohh.

"Murder Music" is one of the greatest songs ever recorded

wait djp did you say upthread that you dont have a copy of thunder II anymore

pretty sure i do. i know i have that thinline cd maxisingle w/biting my nails and cocaine sex on it

and kray twins! apparently i have the one that enigma put out with 2 mixes of biting my nails, although iirc its just a vocal and an instrumental club mix so prob no great rarity there

i mean, it's kind of blowing my mind that other went through exactly the same folly of youth shit. and it wasn't an "album" i bought, it was exactly that thin-case maxi single. eventually came to like one of the songs, think it was the "biting nails" club dub.

music > ac/dc > run-DMC > riffs > disco sound > "leader of the pack" > spinderella > "hit the north" > "into the groove(y) > "da doo ron ron" > renegade soundwave

listening back, i love the music on all three tracks, but hate the vocalist, no exceptions

enjoying this, but it seems more pop than club
