'splain this one to me: Renegade Soundwave

That's an early Flaming Lips song, now, Ned. Give us a break.

Todd, I used to have the CD-single w/ Prob a Rob 12 gauge but gave it to someone because, you know, i had the vinyl...

But let's definately talk mp3 trading, get it all together.

I always liked much of Howyoudoin, though I hated the title song. Disc 1 of my personal RSW 2 CD set contains Liquid Up, John Holmes, Positive ID, Blast "Em Out and Brixton. All GREAT pop songs. It was the remix album where I thought they made their first really bad move. It has moments, but while In Dub is just totally unique, Next Chapter of Dub just sounded like then contemporary trip-hop or whatever.

A highpoint of my life was sitting in a middle-eastern resteraunt and hearing the song that John Holmes samples.

Except for "Positive Mindscape" which is its saving grace.

Transition

I also have the Women Respond To Bass 12". there are four tracks on that total. And I have Space Gladiator Dub. But I think Dan has this on vinyl, but just hasn't digitized it yet.

I think the major project is to get all the RSW remixes of other bands onto one CD (or 2 if needed.)

1.Depeche Mode
2.Liason Dangereuses

...

Mr. Hutlock from above made me a RSW mix tape during college including the Depeche Mode remix, that's easy to download. I have the Liason Dangereuses remix on vinyl. I also have the track they sorta did for the Amorres Perros soundtrack. They did at least 2 Pop Will Eat Itself remixes, neither of which I have.

Looking at Discogs...I'd like to hear the Sabres mix of Brixton.

Dan you could use the beginning and end from your tired record to replace the Ken Ishii one? better than nothing...?

i'll rip the first ever rsw single before they changed their name and post a link to it later.

i will also dig out the 'turntable scratch mix' too.

never heard this before .. thanks muchly.

m.e

'tackhead in the area!'

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.

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:

http://www.lecoqmusique.co.uk/

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
