Last week’s first Throwback was a very early musical milestone for me but this one is much more recent, although the track itself is from 2007.
For reasons which are a mystery, I’d never heard of Gabriel & Dresden until the start of last month, when we were in Paris for my birthday. We were chatting with Guy, the owner of one of our favourite dens of iniquity, at the end of the evening when a track came on which made the three of us pause and look up at the speaker as if to say WTF? Guy checked the stream and it was this. I had chosen another tune for this week but listening to this duo’s new album, Remedy, this week – it’s rather good – led me to this choice.
