As Steve Knutson told us, when Another Thought was being put together, the plan was to release a companion album of remixes that was overseen by Steve D'Aquisto but the project only got as far as these two remixes of \"In The Light Of The Miracle\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome dodgy scans of some centre label designs suggest that Point Music might’ve been planning to release these on a 12\" but it didn’t happen. 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. We’re not sure how many white label copies made it out into the wild, but again, these remixes didn’t make it to a proper release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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 \u0026amp; Tony Smith with editing duties performed by Tony Morgan. As ever with Arthur, the music is almost impossible to describe: is it Disco? Garage House? Avant Garde? None of these tags do full justice to its sheer majesty. You best just listen. Stretching out the original with some unbelievably great percussive elements, until we're in a deeply spiritual, otherworldly realm, it's just too beautiful for words. As many have claimed, it's the prototype for EVERYTHING.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Ponytail Club Mix (Part 1 \u0026amp; 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 (but can things ever be that straightforward with Arthur?!) It also has some really interesting vocal parts not used in the other versions, including some vocals from guest poet Allen Ginsberg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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. Thanks again to Janette Beckman for letting us use another of her photos of Arthur and the rest of the design follows what Margery Greenspan, Tina Lauffer and Michael Klotz did for Another Thought back in 1994.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimon 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Light of the Miracle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Light of the Miracle - Ponytail Club Mix (Parts 1 \u0026amp; 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/5a1wm2vih2Fzew0rX7WFX7?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arthur Russell","offers":[{"title":"12\" \/ Black","offer_id":43360381468863,"sku":"BEWITH023TWELVE-BK","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/arthur-russell-in-the-light-album-cover_974x_a2c94a85-ef1a-43f6-ba74-0561dc254d1f.jpg?v=1716586706"},{"product_id":"arthur-russell-open-vocal-phrases-where-songs-come-in-and-out-2lp","title":"Open Vocal Phrases, Where Songs Come In And Out","description":"\u003ch3\u003e** This is a PRE-ORDER.
