Pin back your ears for another Stormy subbadubdub mix, this time from the multi-tracks of the Beat sessions. Alex gives us an expanded view of Neurotica’s nuts and bolts, laying the skeletal sections and parts out in an order that presents the piece as a kind of terse, paired back electronica. The result of Stormy’s remix is something that is at once quite different but also intensely familiar, retaining something of the kaleidoscopic whirl and pace of the original. Full marks also for including Bill Bruford’s “let me try another” comment at the end: a call back of sorts to an earlier Crimson.
This track is available for download as part of a bumper collection of Mr Stormy's Monday Selections. His Eighth year of treasures from the murky, cavernous DGM archives, are now available in Full Flac Fidelity

Just been listening to the Neurtica 82 remix. New light through oldish windows. The parts being stripped back really demonstrates the staggering talents of the four piece lineup. This was my first point of contact with the Crim. I was caught, hook, line and sinker. I continued on to explore the many incarnations if the band, like some multi faced timelord minstrel ensemble. Each one brilliant, each having a different character, all still recognisable as Crim. Now we have proof through Stormy’s...

Now we have proof through Stormy’s remixes that we can continue to be served up new adventures even from Past Crims. Well done. A very satisfying take on this jagged, twisty musical commentary of city bedlam.

why not an entire remix album like this????
hey, since sometimes mr. stormy listens...this is getting better with each listen!!!! why not an entire official album of remixes of the 80s catalogue? (plus a remix of "dangerous curves"! :-))i’m waiting... "waiting man..." or "waiting for my man", as another singer once coined a perfect phrase for his (post beat) generation ... "my man", mr. stormy that is...mr. stormy, you surpassed yourself with this...

Refreshing
I was struck by the refreshing polarity this take of Neurotica has when compared to the other takes I have heard. Splendid. I would say, not so much a re-discovered brownie, as a re-invented brownie. Walnuts on the outside

remix in title
This is a lovely track, very nicely done. My only suggestion would be that it be identified as Neurotica Stormy Remix or some such, as rather than being a track from the vault like many others it is something which has been ’created’ recently - the 18 3 1982 is a little of a fudge too. But don’t stop doing this sort of thing, like the heavy skirmish.
