「Turn on, tune in, drop out」愛と平和を掲げたウッドストック世代に影響を受け、91年、イギリスのセカンド・サマー・オブ・ラブと並行して発生していたシドニーのシーンから産まれたジャム・バンドBELLYDANCEの「3 Days Man!」の12インチをNOISE IN MY HEADの〈EFFICIENT SPACE〉が再発。
Track List
Turned on by a new dawn of chemical love, Sydney dance-funk combo Bellydance laid down their sampledelica blueprint in 1991, thinking in parallel with Weatherall’s revelatory work with Primal Scream. A candy flip of streetsoul, festival jam band and Chip Monck’s cautionary brown acid address, 3 Days Man! was primed for open fields and discotheques, in an age when the deejay was royalty.
With an elastic lineup that boasted up to 9 members, Bellydance synchronised more with the club scene than the city’s straight-ahead pub rock racket, naturally recruiting hometown heroes Peewee and John Ferris to remix their multi-track concoction. A certified party closing anthem, the brother’s sun-smacked breakbeats elevate a collective consciousness beyond the clouds.
Originally issued on Regular Records sub-label Boomshanka Music as a precursor to their album One Blood, the now sought-after 12″ sports characteristic artwork from Mambo visionary and Mental As Anything co-founder Reg Mombassa. Instigated by Sydney selector Ben Fester, this Efficient Space reboot arrives fashionably late to Woodstock’s 50th anniversary but just in time to help soothe universal division.

映画『ワイルド・エンジェル』のピーター・フォンダのセリフのサンプリングで幕開けるPRIMAL SCREAMとANDERW WEATHERALLの歴史的一曲「Loaded」と同時期に存在していた、オーストラリア・シドニーからの「サマー・オブ・ラブ」讃歌。ウッドストックの３日間の幕開けを告げるChip Monckのスピーチのサンプリングでスタートする。アーシーロック&ソウルな「Loaded」よりもぐっとジャジーソウル、ブギーファンクな感じ。根底には同じ「フリーダム！」への希求がある。後にMINISTRY OF SOUNDで活躍するDJ JOHN FERRISと兄弟のPEEWEEによるリミックスも収録。 (サイトウ)
