Arthur Russell's classic "In The Light Of The Miracle," a condensed history of NYC underground dance music. 12" that ended up on TALKIN' LOUD PROMO only, has been officially reissued with sleeve by Be With. The 12" was only released on TALKIN' LOUD PROMO, but Be With has reissued it with sleeve. 13:26 seconds of mix and ponytail club mix (parts 1 & 2) (14:10).
Arthur Russell's "In The Light Of The Miracle" was not released before his death, but after his death, it was included in Arthur Russell's compilation "Another Thought" released by Philip Glass' "Point Music" and saw the light of day. A 12-inch remix of the song was planned but never realized, and Gilles Peterson, who heard the remix, tried to rele...Read more (Original Japanese text by Saito)ase a 12-inch on Talkin Loud, but it was only circulated in promo form and never officially released. A-SIDE A is a mix of what would become known as his signature track from "The World Of Arthur Russell", edited by Tony Morgan and mixed by Danny Krivit & Tony Smith, although it is not credited. The B-SIDE is a ponytail club mix featuring the voice of his former partner, Allen Ginsberg. The mix work is excellent, and this is a piece that should be enjoyed in an environment where you can feel the sound localization, etc., and feel the trajectory of the sound. Miracles happen to the listener. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
The band Dinosaur, supported by the genius Arthur Russell and featuring NYC underground DJ NIcky Siano in the late 1970's, released a huge hit on Sire in 1978 and became the first underground disco classic to be produced from scratch by a DJ. The monumental "Kiss Me Again" was the first ever production in which a DJ created a track from scratch and made a record from the original tape! Special price!
Arthur Russell wrote the music, played cello and piano, and arranged the arrangements, with Wilbur Bascomb, NIcky Siano's favorite bass player; Allan Schwartzberg, a friend of Arthur Russell's; Myriam Valle on vocals; David Byrne of Talking Heads on guitar; Peter Gordon on saxophone; Peter Zummo on trombone. The album was recorded throughout 1977 a...Read more (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)nd released on 12" in 1978 on Sire Records (selling over 300,000 copies). The album was recorded throughout 1977 and released on 12" in 1978 on Sire Records (selling over 300,000 copies). The 13 minutes and 4 seconds long mix Side-A "Kiss Me Again" (sample 1) by Jimmy Simpson, which slowly leads us into a disco long story with a band ensemble and funky soulfulness, interspersed with experimental elements, is also great. Side-B "Kiss Me Again (Version)" (12 minutes and 42 seconds) is a 12-minute and 42-second track with Arthur Russell's arrangement and mix, which is too crazy and lovely from a DJ's point of view, with a tricky mix and a lovely solo performance ensemble of underground left-field masters who also enjoy soloing each instrument. Kiss Me Again (Version)" (sample 2) and (sample 3) are dangerously fragrant and deeply fascinating due to the tasteful and musical metamorphosis. Both the remastering and analog cutting are beautifully done with a wonderfully warm sound quality and sound pressure. Includes liner notes by NIcky Siano, David Byrne, Peter Gordon, and Peter Zummoini. No-digital vinyl-only release. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
