We've got a 20 minute version of Out Of Control

☝️ Quick recap: The Chems had their own "21 Minutes of Madness" mix of OOC which had (allegedly) been sitting unreleased for 20 years since its original release. They put it out on a Ltd white label 12" last year and in the box set re-release of their Surrender album (20th Anniversary).

But they also comissioned the Avalanches to re-work OOC for Record Store Day 2020. They posted an edit of this version on YouTube. But if you wanted to hear the full 11 min re-work you had to buy the RSD vinyl. Then of course, RSD '20 got cancelled because: pandemic.

So the RSD people announced a series of "drop dates" for all that unreleased stock - at the end of Aug, Sep and Oct. It seems the OOC thing was released in August. [[TWITTER]1299369581618884609[/TWITTER]

And about a month ago a YouTuber ripped the vinyl and uploaded it.

Tl;dr? Here's the 11 minute "Surrender to Love" version of OOC. First three minutes feature other Chems tracks:

I kinda like it on its own terms. It's a trip all by itself. Not better than the original but different and creative. Less spoken word overdubs from Ed Simons and the random bird who does "what the fuck she wants" would have been better. I could imagine this working at a festival or during a "sun coming up" moment in the morning at an Ibiza club.

On a side note, I remember being chuffed getting my hands on this promo CDr single some years ago. The definitive Out Of Control single including the 12" Sasha mixes, which were only available on a super-rare Japanese CD single at that time. 10-12 minutes apiece.

I don't have that one, but in between the japanese release, and the single edit promo, i'm good.

here's the sasha remix edit: https://www.sendspace.com/file/ayyou4
