Lately Ian has been doing the remix thing. Here are a few of his more recent mixes: . Telex: I Dont Like Music/Ian O'Brien remix (SSR) . Rei Harakami: On/Ian O'Brien mix (Sublime) . Fusion: Cube of the Blues/Ian O'Brien Rework (Ferox) . Lisa Stansfield: The Line/Ian O'Brien's Benfleet mix (D.Disco) Plus recent comp appeareances on: . Endlessnessism comp 2xcd/4x12" (Dot) . Freezone 5 comp 2xcd/5x12" (SSR) The last legitimate Ian O'Brien eps were the two Djenga releases on Tag: . Djenga: Djengastyle #1 12" (Tag) . Djenga: Djengastyle #2 12" (Tag) I once heard a rumor that these two eps were going to be compiled onto one cd with a few new tracks but i havent heard anything more about it. >Oh and if anyone out there cares, the Brother from Another Planet 12" >(7th City) just got reissued. For the most part it's Claude Young, but >there is one track where Ian O'Brien and Claude Young collaborate. > I agree that the reissued Brother From Another Planet 12" is essential. It's my favorite Claude Young release to date. >I've been kind of expecting to see them collaborate more in the >future, because they have done a remix together on the first Ferox >comp. Adventures in Techno Soul and the track they did on 7th City. I >also so remember there was a track called Joe 90 (or something like >that) on the Dj Kicks - Claude Young. > Regarding the Young/O'Brien track on the aforementioned 7th City ep, it is actually the same track as the one on the Claude Young DJ Kicks release (even though the track title is different). There were also a few other O'Brien/Young collaborative releases back in 96 on the Re:verb & Pentagon labels under the guises Video Kids, Spy Satellite, and Memory Tree. -->-Lance--- xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
