manuel göttsching - ain't no time (sacred rhythm remix) (mp3)

grand high priest - mary st. mary (sacred rhythm remix) (mp3)

tying a few recent post themes together with a double header from new york stalwart joe claussell. starting with a quite rare (and pretty expensive) track from krautrock icon manuel göttsching, remixed under joe's legendary sacred rhythm alias. this is the clausell take on a live recording from a 1979 ash-ra gig, overlayed with tribal drums, overdubs, effects and organ sounds. a similar, or some might say trademark, approach is also taken on his remix of grand high priest, an aretha-franklin samplin' fierce gospel house record, which surely must be in the running for one of the club records of the year.

i'm finding these running themes quite interesting, so i dare say there's more new york on the way ...
