Recently become obsessed with a version of Tainted Love that I heard only once (long story- won't go into it here) and from that came a general fascination with the way in which every so often my memory plays back tracks that I've only just glimpsed, maybe heard half of, one time, from around a corner etc... and I've come to the conclusion that these tracks sound better then most of the stuff I play all the time, as if the reality is gradually ceding to a Platonic state of perfection
(or something)
I mean the kind of mad fast spazz techno that you find yourself dancing like a twat to while tree hugging in the outer edges of Glastonbury (in the slow rush to get away from Limpbizkit or something) or the sort of slurred remixes that you used to get in those rave clubs where none of the DJs would know how to actually mix and would just play nine things together and hope the collective LSD/ E clouds would smooth away any of the edges...
Anyway, the version of Tainted Love in my head is way groovier than anyone else has managed.... reminds me in my head of Coils 'AYOR' in the way the beats fall over themselves to get away from the creepy stuttering 'black jesters in dark rooms' vocals....
Just wondering if anyone else has a similar experience... a track they've barely glimpsed and (probably) never want to actually hear again because they suspect it might, in fact, be shit?
