If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!Just in time for this years festive celebrations, the imprint curated by Merseyside edits maestro Greg Wilson returns with the tape-tapping talent of Fingerman. Real name Gregg Holmes, Wilson first thought his Fingerman pseudonym was inspired by a character from V For Vendetta, the cult graphic novel by Alan Moore, but he was in fact so called after creating a weird stop motion video on a mobile phone about a shouting finger. Thankfully his studio work is less peculiar: years of spinning techno in the mid-90s giving way more recently to an going love affair with funk, soul and disco nuggets.
It's in this guise he steps up and takes on both sides of the latest A&R 12", opening up with the anthemic 'Crazy', Seal's UK top 2 hit, originally produced by Trevor Horn. Here it's been given a Balearic sunrise makeover with those soulful vocals floating above warm pads and swirling atmospherics.
On the flip, The Doobie Brothers' double-Grammy award winning 'What A Fool Believes' is given some upfront oomph, with Michael McDonald's timeless vocal riding high over Fingerman's grooving and loving dance floor treatment.
