Filtered Vol 1

OUT LIKE A LAMB.

(continued from Burn List Mar 09)... From the "The Lion and the Cobra originally, "Troy (Phoenix from the Flame)" rose to the top of the dance charts in 2002. It wasn't til December of 2008 that Sinead O'Connor performed "Troy" live once again, after 20 years from the time her debut single came out.

Recorded live in London and appearing in Sinead O'Connor's 2009 double-disc release, "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (Special Edition)", the first track in Filtered Vol. 1 sets an aural experience intended to capture dance music's classic productions, current chart-toppers, and heat-seekers exclusively from a track's basic, essential elements - vocals and melody. Backmask Danny Tenaglia's "Elements". That's Filtered Vol 1. Inasmuch as I have blogged evangelically on the geniuses of essential DJ/producers in today's electronic music, I am in no way oblivious to the sheer talent of electronic music's singer/songwriters. The artists whose album versions of the tracks didn't quite make it as big. The vocal renderings of much too many artists appearing after the word "featuring" in the song credits. Filtered Vol 1 features hot electronic music tracks in a capella, live recordings, demos, acoustic versions. And after a weekend of dancing til the crowds leave, of feeling the jungle, the ether, and then landing right back to the present and the mundane, you just may still have the beats in your ears to be your own DJ/producer to these sunday morning tracks... filtered.
