    Renegade Soundwave!
    or a little later -
    MC Solaar 'Nouveau western'
    superb riff - superb track - superb lyrics, superb 'effects' : the fact those 2 sample borrowing tracks are also tremendous in their own right is testament to the power of the original.

    Love the blog btw - some fine writing & imagery. Have made off with some of the dub tracks I hadn't heard before whilst chuckling to self.

    Thanks for dropping by, AW, and leaving some - very kind - words.

    Renegade Soundwave rang a bell, vaguely - gangster dub - but I don't recall haring their version of "Bonnie & Clyde." Shame. I searched the web for it, but it's conspicious by its absence; not making it onto their retrospective.

    To compound matters, I am positive I haver never heard MC Solaar's sampling of the riff and effects.

    This is a recording which was miles ahead of the competition on its release, for sure. Infectious enough to very nearly propel a left-footed imbecile like me onto the dance floor.

    Grab the dub freely and don't make yourself a stranger.

    Interesting, anto. "Cocaine Sex" was the one thing I blagged which 'spoke' to me.

    Yes, fuckin' indeed.

    Solaar ? You're speaking a different language, man. R U tryin' to dig me up, or what ?

    Actually. After much digging around, it would seem the Gainsbourg sample is on the track "Renegade Soundwave" itself. From 1994's "How You Doin ?"

    It was also released as a 7", and on maxi with various remixes.
