We've got the look
It's been a while since we've posted, but I can assure everyone that we've been working hard, and that we've got some, might I be so bold as to say, fantastic content coming soon - much of it delivered through sentences as long as, or even longer than, this one.
In the meantime, it's gives me great pleasure to announce that we're re-mixing and re-releasing a popular single of yesteryear to promote GFC. After a considerable amount of effort, we identified four candidates, based on topicality, catchiness, relevance to the UK garage scene and the possibility of people making fun of us at the bus stop. After a little more thought, we abandoned that list and based our choices solely on the price of the royalties. That second list in full, then:
I was very pleased to find out that, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, we could avoid re-recording the video by having our likenesses digitally introduced into the old film. Here, for example, is a still from the original showing Martin Fry (on the right) with his three bandmates.
And here's the equivalent still from the new, digitally remastered, video with Dinky in the same role.
The effect really is remarkable, I think you'll agree. Again, below we see (at left) Martin Fry from the original publicity material, and (at right) Dinky in the same role.

- You oughtta know by Alanis Morissette
- The look of love by ABC
- Happy birthday by Stevie Wonder
- Up where we belong performed by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes
