A1. 900 Miles
A2. 900 Miles (Matt Karmil Remix)
B1. 900 Miles (Alex Barck Remix)
In honour of the soulfolk singer/songwriter Terry Callier, who sadly passed away in late 2012, the new stunning soul voice of Germany covers one of his all time favorite songs. A brave move which succeeded fairly and fittingly pays tribute to one of the most talentend musicians of our times.
Sonar Kollektiv A&R manager Alex Barck is also a huge fan of Terry Callier. After he recently has remixed FETSUM's “Letters From Damascus” so brilliantly it's a logical step to have him step in and turn FETSUM's cover into a club track. It's astonishing how Barck pushes the groove towards South America and still leaves air to breathe for FETSUM's voice .
Matt Karmil is less known as a remixer, but more as a versatile session musician and producer. For instance he played with Cee Lo Green, Siobhan Donaghy and Neneh Cherry and produced Portishead, Massive Attack, Sugababes, Patrice und Gorillaz. The fact that he now found some time to give an existing track his very personal note is Sonar Kollektiv's achievement and our luck. His delivery would even shine in the portfolio of, let's say DJ Shadow or Geoff Barrow. An outrageous attempt.
