the original release of bob holdroyds african drug was back in 94 and its unusual charms resulted in the track ending up on several high profile mixtapes.
now, seeing i spent that year learning the ropes of parenting it is to be expected that until today i had never knowingly heard the original.
and a fine and unusual slab of looped ethno-samples and rhythmic moods it turns out to be.
subsequently, following a chance encounter between the people behind phonica records and bob himself, the track is to be given another airing with the 12″ release featuring the 7 minute original alongside remixes by four tet, and t.williams.
of course, for the new world we now inhabit, the download package has a couple of extras, from which ireallylovemuisic have been given the all clear to post this weird-n-wonderful retake.
