Obviously, information on The Supreme Label is spares, as they are putting out "pirate pressings of un-licensed re-edits." (wording taken from Discogs.com).
But that's bad meaning good!
Since 2004 this label has brought us some of the best re-edits around. And this one is no exception.
The original, "Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes" is off Paul Simon's classic "Graceland" album, and features african choir and Paul singing about his fling with an african diamond miner's daughter.
Now, Todd Terje's re-edit is...well, Terje-ish. Looped percussion, delays and reverb on dubbed vocals plus a bit of filtering. Sweeeet!
B-side of this supreme release contains edits of "Give me Your Love" - Curtis Mayfield and "Black Magic" - Astrud Gilberto
Btw. I guess, Todd's source is the Graceland (Remastered) CD, that came out in 2004. This release has the original song with it's chorus intro and percussion AND the unreleased acustic version with bass intro and clear Paul Simon vocals (thank god for Rhino Records!)
