Don't suppose I'll be the first to report that the UR Jaguar remixes hit the shops last Friday 10th March.
Understandably given the context none of the mixes strays very far from the original, which is still the best by far, with the Mills mix perhaps trying to do the most with it. Some interesting chops with the beats early on and an almost pastoral, lyrical feel later. I also stumbled across a copy of the German 'Dance Division' knock off here in London. (oops? but read on) Turns out they have 'covered' rather more than Rolando's origonal music. As has already been mentioned on this list the inner picture label artwork features an image of a tablet embossed with a Jaguar logo. And guess what? The Jaguar drawing is 100% identical to the trademark of the famous Jaguar motor car brand. In fact the notorious trance mix is actually called the 'E-Type' mix. Jaguar cars have been owned Ford since the early nineties. Ford,like techno music and Tamla before it, have, I do believe, a rather strong connection with the city of Detroit, Mich. I wonder if should this information come to the ear of a proud local Ford executive he (or she) might have a word with one of his colleagues at Jaguar, UK? And further, whether this person might subsequently be persuaded to encourage one of his army of well paid legal eagles to write a polite but firm solicitors letter to Dance Division SONY/BMG Germany and suggest that they did not appreciate their trademark being misused in this way.?? Or else chum? Of course Dirk Whatssit may well have cleared this particular sample. Then again given his track record.... Just a thought like but wouldn't it be a wonderful irony? The Detroit Jaguar bites back!!!! Nice ring to it in the media eh? Fox xx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
