One day in the life of a tiresome music geek

[hirez]

You remember the music from (Top gear) Rally Report? Slow motion footage of mad people hoofing Audi Quattros and Lancia Deltas into the scenery to the tune of 'Duel/Jewel' by Propaganda.

The version they used didn't seem to be the 12", sublime racket though it was. (Although slightly tainted by essence of Small Boy)

I always suspected that since ZTT were ZTT, the mix was out there somewhere, but I was unlikely to find it since it would be a cassette-only version that was a Mongolian import deleted on the day of release.

Although perhaps not. Maybe it's the version on Wishful Thinking.

The thing is that I can no longer remember what the Rally Report version sounded like, but it doesn't really matter since I've had to listen to several different mixes and they're all differently bloody marvellous.

They used to use it for a lot of the BBC sports highlight footage. I remember it always used to soundtrack the programme preview section on Grandstand every Saturday.

Now you've made me want to dig out 'Dr Mabuse', although the urge will probably pass.

Never look back!

You know, that LP has dated far less than the average ZTT/Trev Horn effort...

[FX: Google]

Ha, well there you go. Trev uninvolved.

Maybe this'll help with the old memory .... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jUt5A-uWsow

And apparently it is the "Jewelled" version from Wishful Thinking.

I'll have to view that this even.

In the very dim & distant past you gave me a cassette of the revelant album, which I managed to lose in an early 90s house move.

Simon Amiga-thingummy had a HF Integrale as a company car. Bastard.

mmm Lancia Deltas.

there are 2 spotless yellow ones round here, Integrale is very subtle on the back door.

Well, quite.

Althout it's akin to hankering after a 900 T-16. They were jolly nice cars then, but surviving ones are going to be shagged or expensive so you can't really thrash them.

I really must look into the rally school that's up around Whitby.

I think I have it in the garage, on a 12".
