Space-Kudu re-edit series: Ophiucus



Strange title and artist name but one hell of a funky folk instrumental from 1972.
Originaly way too short, so here is the 4 minute Space-Kudu re-edit for those lovely spring sunny days.
Just a bassline, a guitar and some slo mo balearic feelings!

Enjoy!!!

Space-Kudu re-edit series: Peter Richard



It must be winter outside cause the last two re-edits I made have this nice chilled slo-disco feel. This one from Peter Richard is no exception. Made in 1983 and available on his album 'Frozen Red'. His biggest hits are 'Walking in the neon' and 'For you, only for you', two great italo tracks. But 'Fly away' is more a great piece of balearic pop from the late 80's than italo. The Space-Kudu re-edit made it into a longer trip with only a few vocals at the second part of the song, that way the song is more relaxed and chilled.

Enjoy!

Space-Kudu re-edit series: Genesis / Phil Collins



The always lovely Phil Collins shows his international peace-sign to us! Anyway, one day I was in the car and the original version of  'That's All' came on the radio. Immediately I thougth this has to be re-edited. So here it is...one great balearic cosmic disco version of Genesis. Just layers and layers of the original packed together to make the beat heavier at some points in the song. Also a lot of cutting and pasting cause Phil wouldn't just shut up singing. But not to worry he still does! Personally I think this re-edit has the same appeal as the Dolly Parton one I did before!

Enjoy!!!

Space-Kudu re-edit series: Anna Dobiey



Uber cool Anna Dobiey made some great new wave tracks, like the cover of David Bowie's Ashes to Ashes. Here we have a track from 1980 that has more a balearic feel to it. Slow rock/cosmic disco whatever you call it, it's great! The re-edit shuffles around the complete song so that it becomes more balearic than it used to be. Nice German lyrics for by the pool! Oh the screams have been cut out....we don't want to be disturbed while dreaming!

Enjoy!!!

Space-Kudu re-edit series: East European Disco



A nice slice of East European disco, well at least I think, cause I do not know which language they speak. Originally this song has a very annoying DJ talking on top of the complete song. Luckily I had two copies of the song, so that I could make one complete song again, without the DJ talking. I didn't make a very long re-edit this time. Just a very nice complete short song.
It's nice, it's sleazy and it's very disco!

Enjoy!!!

Space-Kudu re-edit series: Lalo Schifrin


Lalo Schifrin - Amityville Frenzy

The world famous Lalo Schifrin doesn't need an introduction. Lucky for us he also did some great disco versions of  movie soundtracks from the 70's and 80's. One of them is the soundtrack from the horrorflick The Amityville Horror. The original is very creepy until the funk comes in and it all turns into one big Saint Tropez beachparty set in 1979. A martini in one hand and Alain delon in the other. The Space-Kudu re-edit turns the song back into horror! No funk, no jolly good time! Leaving us with just a very scary track!

Enjoy!!

Space-Kudu re-edit series: I Signori Della Galassia



A favourite to a lot of space-disco lovers is I Signori Della Galassia (Men from the galaxy). This Italian band made the album called Iceman in 1979. The title track of this album is one nice piece of space-disco mixed with italo-disco. Í love the song until they start singing. Than you can hear the italo coming up and that's not really my cup of tea. So I turned the song upside down and inside out. What came out is, according to myself, one great space-disco ball of fire! Be warned, this re-edit is also a bit spooky!

 
 Enjoy!!!

Space-Kudu re-edit series: Expo



One of mine little disco pleasures is this song from Expo. It was made in 1977 and has this spooky little vibe to it. Originally the song has a very happy underlining to it, but that has been cut out in the re-edit. Well you can hear it a little bit at the end of the re-edit. Couldn't resist to leave you without a finishing touch. The beats have been made heavier, cut and looped, to give the song a lot more drive to it. This is spooky disco with some nice choir vocals to it.

Enjoy!!!

Space-Kudu re-edit series: Vera



From the album 'Take me to the bridge' comes this little hidden funky space gem. Made in 1981 so technically it falls out of the disco box. But who cares, it's funky but just needed a little retouch! Like always most of the lyrics have been cut out and most of the beats have been replaced. So here you go...the long awaited new re-edit by Space-Kudu. (More new re-edits are awaiting, but just need a little more attention).

Enjoy!!!!

Space-Kudu re-edit series: The Hunters



One of my favourite tracks is 'Jungle man' by the Belgium band called The Hunters from 1979. Only released on 7 inch and has two short tracks; one vocal and one instrumental version. I cut 'n pasted the two tracks together to make one long song. Which it certainly deserves. The lyrics are very appropriate to today. Talking about a man who leaves all the modern responsibilities behind and goes to live in the jungle. They even talk about income taxes! Never heard that on a disco song! And thanks to Jussi K. for giving me the mp3 of the original song. I'm still looking for the vinyl...so hard to get!

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Space-Kudu re-edit series: Prom Night OST



A few posts ago I posted the re-edit I did for the main track of this disco soundtrack. Now it's time for another fab track from this Prom Night soundtrack from 1980. The movie stars Jamie Lee Curtis, but it's the music score that is the winner here! 'Love me till I die' is a very short but lovely track, so the re-edit makes it longer and more fun. Nice lyrics too!!!

Enjoy!!!

Space=Kudu re-edit series: Marisa Mell


Marisa Mell - Lady O [Space-Kudu re-edit]
Due to copyright laws this re-edit is no longer available

The original is a totally weird track from 1981. Which starts off with classical rock, than turns into some sort of proto-house and than goes to disco-rock. But that's not all cause than it does all those styles over again. All within 3 or 4 minutes. Pretty hard to re-edit. But I managed to do it. Vic pointed me to this track. So this one is for you Vic!

Enjoy!!!

Space-Kudu re-edit series: Black Gorilla



Funny little track from 1976 full with high speed jungle disco. The speed stayed in the re-edit, but it just got a bit faster!
Enjoy!

Space-Kudu re-edit series: Ruth Waters

Ruth Waters - Never gonna be the same [Space-Kudu re-edit]

Ruth Waters big hit from 1978 'Never gonna be the same' gets the Space-Kudu re-edit treatment. That means less talk and more fire. This track really builts up to a nice climax.

Enjoy!

Space-Kudu re-edit series; Harry Chalkitis

Harry Chalkitis - Gimme love [Space-Kudu re-edit]

'Gimme love' is a wonderful discofied track by Harry Chalkitis, made in 1980. The re-edit makes it just that more disco than it used to be. Perfect for the 'love is in the air' feel of spring.


Enjoy!
