The Fall (Maurice Fulton Remix)

Maurice Fulton's Outrageous Remix Of "The Fall" By Rhye Has Been Cherished As A Stone-Cold Masterpiece For The Past Decade. Out Of Print Almost Immediately, Its Legend Has Only Grown And For Too Long It's Been Impossible To Find A Copy Without Parting With Considerable Cash. We've Wanted To Remedy This Situation For Years So We're Delighted To Announce That We've Finally Given It The Be With Treatment.The Word ‘Genius’ Is Bandied About Liberally But It's Fair To Anoint Maurice Fulton With Such Lofty Praise. Sheffield’s King Of Oddball Disco, Fulton Is One Of Our Favourite Artists, An Outerspace-Minded Producer With Roots In Baltimore Club Music Who Has No Problem Injecting Dank Interplanetary Funk Into The Smoothest Of Acts. And So It Goes With His Remix Of "The Fall". Rich And Typically Off-Kilter, This Is Spellbinding Disco Par Excellance. Fulton Arms The Track With A Juddering Electro-Funk Synth-Bassline Before Shifting To A Twanging Disco Reverb And Conga-Led, Crash-Cymbal-Elevated Groove.Essential Doesn't Even Cover It; It's Just Astonishingly Good.The Gorgeous Original, Situated Here On The Flip, Is A Sublime Serenade, All Twinkling Strings And Sweet, Sumptuous Vocals Over Smooth, Jazzy Piano Styles. It Earned Comparisons To Sade, Air And The Xx Upon Initial Release And It's Still Easy To Understand Why; It's Warm And Buoyant Yet Deeply Melancholy. Elegantly Downlifting, You Could Say.
