Mish Mash - "Speechless"

It also happens to be the single of 2006 (so far). Rah!

I hate this! But to each his own.

i hate being picky but if i don't then somebody else is bound to point out that it was out in 2005 (on crosstown rebels!). i don't particularly dislike it and the music's ok but i don't really dig the vocals.

i presume it's getting a big release to try and make it number 1 so Damien Lazarus can afford a new Libertines outfit.

i really fuckin hate it. classy music for thick neds/ chavs.

Is Damian Lazarus behind it?

I've seen the video more than heard the song (in that the sound was turned down mostly when I witnessed it this morning). The video is a very precise blend of Roison Murphy and Alison Goldfrapp isn't it. It's like the director read the taking sides thread on ILM.

Well, no but it was on Crosstown Rebels last year as a white label or something, and then later with remixes I think.

it's made by some glaswegians i vaguely know. no damian lazarus.

Yeah this has been out for ages. I dig it. Not your average Crosstown cut, but I actually really like the vocals. Nice to hear something with bite every now and again.

Yeah, definitely last year but it's been picking up popularity lately. I remember the Kiki remix on the single being decent.

Are these the people behind the remix of "Lying Eyes" at the end of Rebel Futurism #2? Because that was great.

This is just about the first new track this year to really get me excited. Yeah, Pete Tong picked up on it last August but it's just got it's first release proper. So?

As to who're behind it, a blurb:
"So who is the mysterious ensemble behind Speechless? Well, Oscar and Kasper are what people in the biz call ‘lifers’. Oscar has been in and around clubs since the year dot: one of Scotland’s original acid house converts, whether it be DJing at the Sub Club or The Arches or releasing three of the first ten Soma tracks. For the past decade Oscar has been constructing the club night Mish Mash – a night famed for its wide and wonderful musical policy. His passion is no mere fashion. Likewise, Kasper. A classically trained musical prodigy hailing from Denmark, he wrote his first film score at 13; joined a radio orchestra at 14; was a session drummer in New York for the likes of Teddy Pendergrass and Terry Riley; and has released his own music in various bands and solo projects. This unstoppable duo are joined by vocalist Louise Norbye aka Lois – she hails from Copenhagen, with a background that takes in ballet dancing and performing as a singer and actress in Denmark and beyond. With Oscar’s wife supplying the lyrics, Mish Mash was born."
