One thing about me, everyone should know is that I'm a huge Talking heads fan. I can never get enough of David Byrne's vocals - very creative. So when I came across this re-edit of Talking Heads' Born Under Punches by Fuzz Against Junk, I was very excited to see what this production duo (Andy Williams & Gordon Smith), would do to an already amazing song. And to anyones suprise, they took the 1980 orginal to the next level. This 9 minute re-edit really emphasizes the lead saxophone that is some what buried in the original, along with nice additional percussion. This 12-inch put out by Nuphonic in 1999 also sports a solid remix from DJ Harvey on the B-side. Another classic release from Nuphonic and the Fuzz Against Junk crew.Fuzz Against Junk - Born Under Punches

Great track ! It's not a re-edit. It was covered, plain and simple.
brilliant!!!! The Fuzz were way ahead of the pack...
Great blog mate. Can't believe I've only found it today. You should check mine out, our tastes are pretty similar.
Harvey actually vocaled the "Take a look at these hands" himself
