This miX hits the mark
Baked on May First/May I? 
(Multilingual word play eh? Perec must be quaking in his grave)
Here's the original 'Anglais' version of 'May I?' with a what...seventeen year old Mike Oldfield on bass and the utterly incomparable Mr Lol Coxhill on soprano sax. And I love Kevin's little laugh at the end of the clip
Think hard and use your vote wisely 
(By the way growing up Scott Morrison was banned by his father from going to gigs 
Explains a lot eh?)

Tracklist: 
Tack Unit (Intro) / Welcome /Play What You Want / Technology Works / Tick of Time Drub Dub / Mechanical Movements / Mechanical Movements Dub / Nine Times Nine / Dream World Dub / Dream World /Beat The Devil 
As the parties of the century draw near and you really wish that you'd set off swimming in plenty of time to get back to the UK I thought I'd put a mix together of TACK>>HEAD tracks released under drummer Keith LeBlanc's name. All these sounds are what 30-35 years old and still like they come from the future...and then the bassie (the man who turned down joining the Stones to stay with Living Colour remember) says he likes the mix DON'T SCRIMP ON THE DECIBELS It even got a like from Doug Wimbish
And boy do I wish I could get one of these posters
Talking of Mr Wimbish, here's a Living Colour VS On-U Sound mix I put together about 6 months ago Tracklist: Hemp (ft Andy Fairley) / Visions (Adrian Sherwood Production) / Bless Those (Little Annie cover) / Auslander (Dub Länder Remix by Sherwood and Skip McDonald ft David Harrow's programming) / Choices Mash Up (Cover of Audio Active's Happy Shopper) / These Are Happy Times (Sherwood Production) / Release The Pressure (Sherwood Production with Mark Stewart co-writing credit) / Who Shot Ya? (Adrian Sherwood & Matt Smyth Remix) / Sacred Ground (Sherwood Production with Mark Stewart co-writing credit) / Sunshine of Your Love (Sherwood & McDonald Remix)
