Dub Mix of "Unfinished Sympathy"

[markydefad]

[ Correction: OK...maybe this is a remake at around 130 bpm...using samples from the original song [the chord progression/the "hey-hey-yaahs"] with a different title altogether?...

I recently heard a mostly instrumental dub mix of Massive Attack's "Unfinished Sympathy" that has a male voice doing a spoken word part in the middle...the voice is English...sounds like an actor... :icon_question:

I tried to transcribe it...it goes something like this...

The present is gone
Fantasy is a part of reality
We take the brakes off

We're thinking clearly yet not thinking at all
This feels right
We stop trying to control things
The warm rush of chemicals through us

We're fluctuating.
Is this brain damage?
We forget all the pain and hurt in life

We wanna go somewhere else
We're not threatened by people anymore
All our insecurites have evaporated
We're in the clouds now
Wide open with spacemen orbiting the earth
And the world looks beautiful from here.
With____???___ desiring the unobtainable
We risk sanity for moments of temporary enlightenment.

So many ideas
So little memory
The last thought killed by anticipation of the next
We embrace an overwhelming feeling of flow....
We're together
We wave goodbye
We wave goodbye
We wave goodbye

I love this...anyone know what mix this is????

Tried to do a Google search...but couldn't find anything.

I just looked on YouTube and surprisingly it's there!!!

"BRAIN DAMAGE" BY 12TH STREET


YouTube - is this brain damage?

BLAME_MY_PECS wrote:The B-Side (and this is the track you are looking for) Is a remix (or sort of one), It uses elements of "Unfinished Sympathy" over a slamming tribal beat and includes a spoken sample from actor John Simm (and I totally agree with you, he sound like Ewan McGregor!!!) taken from the club culture orientated movie "Human Traffic" (1999 - UK) by director Justin Kerrigan.

Brain Damage: This is one hell of a remix (Massive Attack: Unfinished Sympathy) . I played it again last night and it still affects me very deeply. Which may have more to do with the fact that it is built on one of the most singularly important tunes in the Dance Music canon. It is so hard not to be lifted emotionally by the beauty and simplicity of this piece. It is remarkable how when many would shy away from even attempting to remix this tune because of it's importance, that the producer here does not make a mess, he simply expands and enhances the experience. I have played it many times over the last few years and every time I am shaken to the core. It has always been, and likely will always be a religious experience.
