RELEASE DATE

The very first commercial release of two legendary remixes of
Arthur Russell
's
In The Light Of The Miracle
. Both are widely regarded as transcendent masterpieces and very much befitting of the title "holy grails." At last, these jaw-dropping mixes are widely available to every Arthur fan in the world. This is musical perfection. The deep Loft classic "In The Light Of The Miracle" remained unreleased during Arthur's lifetime, finally discovered when
Phillip Glass
included the original version on
Another Thought
on Point Music in 1993. The story goes that
Gilles Peterson
heard the remixes on a visit to the Point Music offices and wanted to release them on Talkin' Loud. These remixes both extend and undeniably enhance the original, elevating it to new heights. The 13-minute remix on the A-side is by
Danny Krivit
and
Tony Smith
with editing duties performed by
Tony Morgan
. The "Ponytail Club Mix (Part 1 & 2)," produced by Tony Morgan in the mid-'90s, is in a more up-tempo style, with vocals higher in the mix, the BPM upped to 120 and the addition of a housey 4/4 kick drum. A 14-minute epic, you could say this is a more straight ahead "club-friendly" mix. It also has some really interesting vocal parts not used in the other versions, including some vocals from guest poet
Allen Ginsberg
. These remixes are part of the same original project that also produced the
Another Thought
album so it seems only right that they have a sleeve that matches.
Simon Francis
remastered the original audio for both tracks and
Cicely Balston
's precise cut for Alchemy at AIR Studios ensures this 12" well and truly slaps. The immaculate Record Industry pressing will ensure this incredibly sought-after treasure finds a home in many more collections, this and every year.
