On the day of the death of Diana Princess of Wales, BBC Radio 1 played their instrumental, "The Last Stand" (an extended instrumental version of "One Night Stand"), every thirty minutes for several hours.
- man, i was thinking about this just a few days ago - i woke up to the news and R1 switching to the playlist. all those tunes give me the shivers...kingsteven
- would have been 16 at the time, often waking up to the klaxons of morning shows post kipping off to peel, bluejam, grooverider. i wonder what was on...kingsteven
- the entire playlist here - it's actually incredible. https://www.youtube.…kingsteven
- holy fuck, it was the felix da housecat essential mix: https://www.mixcloud…kingsteven
- you can hear the news break at the end after pete tong gets a word in, surrealkingsteven
- the mix would have ended at 4am so Diana was dead an hour earlier but was still being reported as injured at that point.kingsteven
- annie nightingale came on afterwards (bizarrely the schedule shows it was meant to be dave clarke) they broke the news of her death about an hour laterkingsteven
- realising that their royal obituary mixes weren't suitable they added this, apollo 440, nightmares on wax etc. to spice it up...kingsteven
- that's crazy stuff! a massive fav tune, up there with unfinished sympathy, takes me back to those daysprophetone
- Brilliant.MrT
- Shit like this is odd to me - clearly this was a big tune for a few of you... but I don't think i've ever heard it before, and we're all 'about the same' gen.Nairn
- they would have been on the radar of those buying up electronic chill out lps and 12”s like massive attack, portishead, tricky, way out west etcprophetone
- ‘All I Want Is You’ might be a tie w/ this for best tune from them, it’s amazing https://youtu.be/Z_i…prophetone
- I was never into records, but I was totally into those gruops (well, not Way Out West). As I say - it's odd for me that I have this total blind spot.Nairn
