FW: (313) Icon
Yes anybody with any info on the genesis of this one? I too put it in my all time top tracks. I didn't know about this C2 connection thing (though obviously they were always collaborating. Interestingly though when I was looking at Discogs about this thing once this thread started although they don't mention C2 in connection with Icon they have him down as sole writer of the other side Kao-tic Harmony - which I didn't know. -Original Message- From: Christopher O'Grady [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 March 2007 08:59 Did he actually do it? I little bird told me that Carl Craig wrote the song but I took that with a grain of salt. I just never sounded like pure Derrick May to me, but it sounded exactly like something Carl Craig would have written. I asked Carl about it and he said he did not remember... Now I find the original 12 version on a system 7 CD as a collab when the vinyl only credits May? Just wondering if anyone had any info as to how Icon came to be and who actually wrote it. Icon is probably one of my top 3 tracks of all time.

I'm not sure I've ever detected the difference between the normal mix of Icon i.e. where it just says Icon and the mix where it says Icon : Montage mix. Are there 2 mixes or just the one? Anyone? -Original Message- From: Jacob Arnold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 February 2007 14:15 Does anyone else have the System 7 Mysterious Traveller comp. with all of the Derrick May remixes? If so, is the version of Icon on there really the Montage Mix? It sounds just like the version on my Transmat Icon/Kao-tic Harmony 12-inch repress. Thanks, Jake
Re: FW: (313) Icon
It sounds like the version on the Innovator double cd is the heavily edited and shortened version of Icon (montage mix), whereas the trnasmat Icon vinyl and System 7/Derrick May cd version sounds more like a long jam (and much better, IMO).

Afraid I can't do that in a hurry (separation of PC at work and vinyl and decks at home). It's where I first heard Icon either version though and it's a pretty long and absolutely AMAZING version, I find it hard to believe it could be improved on! I checked the Transmatt when it was repressed but didn't notice it being different and though I guess I really should own it didn't buy already having Virtual Sex, Mysterious Traveller and Innovator (though I don't play it off there much so I'll have to check what Matt's saying about the beatlessness - again it's not something I've noticed. In fact I'll try to check the 3 versions I have against each other and report back! -Original Message- From: Wojtek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 February 2007 18:14 If someone would like to share the original Montage Mix from the Virtual Sex compilation (which I'm guessing is where the original version of it first appeared)--Soulseek comes to mind--than all of our questions about this would be answered
Re: FW: (313) Icon
Apparently the System7/Derrick collab cd contains the long (Montage) version for the first time on cd, but that would have to be apart from the Buzz comp cd, right?

Oh ah um - I didn't notice the acronym CD had crept in here (wasn't in Jacob's original post, I assumed it was vinyl we were talking about). I'll have to withdraw from this discussion as I'm not qualified to comment (in fact it seems I don't have Icon on Mysterious Traveller as my vinyl is only a sampler). I'm not exactly sure what CDs are. -Original Message- From: Wojtek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 February 2007 18:38 Apparently the System7/Derrick collab cd contains the long (Montage) version for the first time on cd, but that would have to be apart from the Buzz comp cd, right?
