remixes of covers

So far I've heard of 2 entries in the odd category of remixes of covers
of Tomita.

The best known is the Yann Tomita remix of the Boredoms cover of "Jungle
Taitei" (on the Boredoms album "Super Roots 8" along with a remix of the
same by the unknown to me DJ Let's TRY & D.I.Y. and the original cover
version as the third track)

But there is a rather rare item "Hajime Tachibana in the 90s" where Mark
Gamble strangely remixes Tachibana's one Tomita cover track Theme from
“Nihon no Sugao” rather than just sticking with Tachibana's original
compositions. (Alfa Records 1993 / Alca-319). I didn't know this existed
until a few weeks ago and have't heard a freind's copy yet.

F.Y.I., Tachibana is a graphic designer and the former lead guitarist
for the Plastics. He likes to put out albums that are mighty
confounding, the one the Tomita cover track was on was a cool pretty
much all acoustic big band plays new music album "Hm" released in 1983
and wound up on the Residents former label Ralf in the U.S. and on YEN
in Japan. The remix was on one in a big series of lets pay UK remixers
to rework our old catalog series, but strangely this one is less common
than the 10 or so other remix EPs. Other Fun Facts are - Tachibana
played the toungue tied Japanese interpreter in Bertolucci's "The Last
Emperor" and his most recent album "The End" is supposedly synthesized
entirely with mobile phones.





And for the Holiday's you can catch some of my mostly analog synth
excerpts from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite as mp3

p.s. for gearheads: I used memorymoog, xpander, super jupiter and one of
those old kurzweil expander boxes with string samples.
