Electra: Autumn Love/Purple
Autumn Love is a track I have loved since I first heard in on Christmas Day 1989 on the The House Sound Of Europe comp. Shortly after I bought the 12" Autumn Love (Future 4) which is a lovely remix and improves the original in my opinion.
Decades latter I notice on Discogs that the Promo of Autumn Love has a exclusive track called Purple on it. I searched the internet and couldnât find a clip of it (this was about 10 years ago). And have been planning to buy the promo for years so I can finally hear Purple.
Well the seller I bought the above Bananarama 12" of had the Electra record for cheap so I took the punt.
The record arrived and I finally get to hear PurpleâŚand I think its a bit rubbish
Its basically a version of Cry Sisco! â Afro Dizzi Act (another favorite of mine) but its not great, sounds like a Bonus Beat rather than a proper track. Oh well its been a fun decade or so imagining what it will sound like
I then remember something, Oakie did a remix of Afro Dizzi Act, The Raid Mix, which I have and never play as its rather unimpressive IMO. So I pull out the Raid Mix give it a spin and find the additional elements that were added to the Raid Mix were used to make Purple (or visa versa). it basically is a bonus beat of Afro Dizzi Act but Oakies Raid Mix rather than the Original.
Always loved it, and Destiny on tâother side. Wasnât particularly cool back then, more of a guilty pleasure from memory, hearing it a lot these days, which is nice .
Amazing remix album, something very nostalgic about it, I think Luke sums it up rather well:
Moving beyond the realms of your average remix, Crooked Man serves up a transcendental dose of tripped-out productions that range from gravity-defying, cosmic meltdowns to brain-busting galactic dance workouts.
Reworking the off-kilter, oddball yet deeply emotional machine soul of @kyriacou_mark and @missmante, every twist, every turn, Crooked Man plots new coordinates. From mutant dancefloor mind benders to vocoder-led, sci-fi trance and dubbed-out dream states, this is music made in an alternate reality, that hits hard and sinks deep. Crooked Transmissions leaves a lasting impression in an age of fading attention spans and throwaway content.
Iâm not sure itâs that different than some of the CD sleeve notes from the 90âs JDJ series, I seem to remember some pretty swollen and purple prose on those.

ikr, got to love his passion though
