I’d imagine that most readers of this blog are somewhat familiar with “It’s A Fine Day,” a lilting a capella whose pastoral charms made it a surprise hit in 1983 and periodic source material for cheesy progressive house goof-offs. Mr Barton himself has something of a track record as an eccentric and somewhat successful songwriter, but that’s a story for another post. Here you will find A Guy Called Gerald’s amazing proto-jungle/tribal/breakbeat mix which might have been a hit itself when released in 1992, but was pipped to the post by Opus III’s smash cover. I had a devil of a time finding this 12″, thank you gemm.com. I love these weird early 90s Gerald productions, hope you will too.
