Niall’s post of Mark Moore’s ace soundtrack mixed tape reminded me that I wanted to share one of the odder entries in the deeper discography of minimalist composer, Philip Glass, his 1989 remix of the third S’Express single, “Hey Music Lover,” which saw the maestro improbably working with a sample from Sly and The Family Stone’s “Dance to the Medley.”

The story goes that Glass was heard raving about S’Express on BBC2’s The Late Show program and so Moore contacted him about the remix, even taking Glass to an acid house club for inspiration, where he is alleged to have listened intently for several hours with his head down before deciding “Okay, I think I’ve got the general idea.”
