Thomas Bangalter – Spinal Scratch

If you have heard any Daft Punk live sets from the 90s you've heard at least part of these songs, I believe I heard them also in some DJ Sneak sets.

My record looks basically new and is flat but I have some tracking issues during the last minute on both sides with an AT-LP120X using a new ML cartdrige. A record weight solves the skips, but you can see the needle working hard to track properly.

Great record, as expected from 90s Thomas Bangalter.

ive heard those scratching sound before at a night club ????

Love this record to bits. Great song for the club.

Great record, but in my case, some glue from the sleeve found its way to the "spinal beat" side. I'm pissed. The printer did a shitty job.

can anyone confirm if there's a different version of "Spinal Beats" on this pressing? a lot more edits / cuts than the official pressing. ive been chasing since it was released, cant see any alternative versions on discogs. any info would be helpful, cheers

I think those guitar riffs here were taken from George Benson's "The World Is A Ghetto" (e.g. at 3:40).

Bangers each and all!

I can't wait to spin this one live. I'd have to say that it's probably one of the most unique tracks that I've heard, since I got into these ingenius Frenchmen, together or solo. Hell, that goes the same for most other records I've heard. This is one of those "holy grail" cuts, for me..just listen and you'll understand.

This song just does you right, with the funky looped keys and riffs, and a real floor pounding beat. It's like turntablist vs. disco, with scratches that shuffle the phra divinely. All together, a real five star release.

My only complaint is that the vinyl itself isn't as heavy or thick as some of my other 12" cuts..and didn't come in its own sleeve.

Seven years on, if somebody utters the name to me, I still get excited by it. In a review at the time I the quote 'sounds like nothing else on earth' and it's still true. A tremendously funky but banging live-sounding beat which could I could listen to for hours combined with alien cut-up George Benson riffs and scratches take you somewhere most house music doesn't come close to. An all-time French classic.

any fans of french-disco should hunt this record down. crazy guitar loops scratched and chopped up over a hard as hell 909 beat. bangalter at his peak.
