Ambitious Beggars - Beg EP



AMBITIOUS BEGGARS
Beg EP (Unreleased Single)
1990 Not On Label

Ambitious Beggars started out in the early '80's in Manchester. The band were originally called Ignition & were fronted by John Bramwell, who went on to be a minor legend on the Manchester scene calling himself Johnny Dangerously. He later re-emerged as the critically acclaimed & fairly successful I Am Kloot. They signed to Ugly Man Records in 1989, Bob Kemp took over the lead role in the band and they released their first single, ska influenced "Man In A Suit"/"The Shadow". Next came the "Welcome" EP. The next thing you know the whole Madchester scene is in full flow & record companies are flocking north to find the next Stone Roses. This was the opportunity they'd been waiting for, but somehow despite a large Manchester following & a well received national tour supporting James, they remained unsigned.

''Beg EP'' is madchester influenced single, real shame it was never officially released, all tracks are great, especially my favourites from this band - ''Tambourine'' and "Fear".

01. Tambourine

03. Years Run High

Slowdive - 5 EP (In Mind Remixes)



SLOWDIVE
5 EP (In Mind Remixes)
1993 Creation Records

Slowdive, the shoegazing giants from the early 90's, have their track “In Mind” taken to the cleaners by Bandulu and Reload on the 5 EP. Bandulu take the minor chords and stretch them into a dub-inflected whirlwind. But the standout is the Reload mix: a shimmering, blissful track with downtempo rhythm and futuristic soul. Breathtaking.

01. In Mind (Out Mind - Bandulu Remix)
02. In Mind (The 147 Take - Reload Remix)
