Stream Pankow’s Remastered 1987 Cover Of Prince’s Girls & Boys

 
Music

Last year's Sherwood at the Controls compilation was a firm favourite in the Ransom Note office. Now dub maestro Adrian Sherwood has dipped back into his vast archive to pull together a further collection of his production work with the cutting edge of underground music, this time focusing on the years '85-'90. Alongside sterling work with reggae legends such as Lee Perry, and a smattering of unreleased gems, the comp also showcases Sherwood's ability to introduce dub techniques to the synth pioneers that were turning out bizarre new experiments with drum machines and samplers – as this track from amply Pankow shows. Italian outfit Pankow's rigid drum machine funk has been latterly championed by Helena Hauff and Trevor Jackson. This '87 cover of Prince's Girls & Boys first appeared on their EP Pankow Play The Hits Of The Nineties, and sounds as pleasingly insane to this day…
