808 & Gerald to remix Jimmy Cauty (KLF)?

Post by **nickking** » 03 Feb 2003 14:46

Just found this news:

"You probably already know this but Jimmy Cauty has launched a new band called BLACK SMOKE. First track is called GIMPO GIMPO (named after BJ of course!

). Features a remix by 808 state (under the name of Kompressor). Guy called Gerald may be creating a remix as well.

website to check http://www.blacksmoke.org/"

I haven't been able to go to the site to check, and Markus won't be able to confirm until next week, but sounds great!

I had heard this, but was doubtful as to the truth as Kompressor sounded a bit strange. Why not remix it as 808 State???

Still, sounds interesting, keeping an eye out for promos.

Well, exactly - unless it becomes confirmed by 808 themselves, I'm going to treat it with a pinch of salt...

Since I like the KLF anyway, I'll still buy the promos even if it hasn't anything to do with 808.

Site's not too bad, though!!

Nick, I'm on the Black Smoke site now and am in the middle of downloading an mp3 of the Kompressor edit!!!

Got it now. Could be 808, certainly sounds a bit 808'y but not totally sure, pretty damn good tho.

I just e-mailed Black Smoke and they replied :

'Its by Andy(808) and a m8'

So Mr Barker's remix talents are being aired.

Superb news!

He has done a couple of other remixes: Soft Ballet 'Twist & Turn' & Semtex's 'Falling'.

Listening to the edit now!

I had some problems downloading the file due to Flash and Quicktime so the direct link for the MP3 is as follows: (right click and download link) http://www.crapola.com/blacksmoke/gimpo1.mp3
