scott hardkiss - come on, come on (joe claussell's sacred rhythm version suite)

i think i was given a wind on this or that scott hardkiss was active through another blog. i've enjoyed his music and the hardkiss heritage for a long time now. i saw a mentioning that claussell had done a version of the song and it appearently was one of his long epics.

yeah i mentioned that i like when claussell do these kind of pieces in my entry about his remix of d*note and this one goes one step beyond that one. claussell reshapes what was a nice six minute song into a 15 minute one and he loads the track up with so much musical content.

the track has this extensive lush breakdown that starts with some ivory tickling by bennett pastor but it's claussell's brother congas that dominate the backdrop. after that he introduces backing vocals by the group called "voices of mali" that give some wailings until he brings back lisa shaw's chorus.

the suit starts out as something for the one a.m. but as it unfolds it's a five a.m. thing and claussell did some other versions as well. they are called "the dance dance version" and the "humidity dub" and they don't revel in the musical excesses that claussell did for his suite. he also used the "electro" lead that hardkiss used for his original.
