andy bell: i am a strange loop

Clear/pink splatter 10" vinyl. Reworkings of songs from Flicker by David Holmes, Maps, Richard Norris, and bdrmm. "It was so great to see what came back when I gave these tracks from Flicker to various comrades, friends and heroes to play with," says Andy. "They've given them a new technicolor life." "David Holmes requested the opening track as he had formed a bit of a connection with it, and what he came up with turns the song into a hallucinogenic beast, taking pride of place here as the opening track but in a whole different way to how Flicker opens. James Chapman AKA Maps has taken 'It Gets Easier' to a bigger, brighter and shinier place, he's given quite a downbeat track a euphoric and epic sheen. I couldn't put Richard Norris's lovely widescreen take on 'Something Like Love' better than the man himself -- in his own words he found the 'hitherto undiscovered sweet spot between 'Roscoe' and 'Outdoor Miner' and he tapped into the melancholy euphoria at the core of the song. bdrmm's remix of 'Way Of The World' is one for headphones. There are so many great moments to love, all held together by a bassline worthy of Jah Wobble. Astonishing!"
