Stem/Long Stem

Wikipedia credits Patrick Campbell-Lyons, Davis and Alex Spyropoulos, the first and last from the sampled band Nirvana, the British psychedelic group, not the American one. It was recorded in 1996 at The Glue Factory in San Francisco. The 7-inch pairs "Stem (Cops 'N' Robbers)" (3:38) with "Red Bus Needs to Leave!" (2:41) and contains dialogue sampled from Michael Mann's film Heat (1995). The main melodic source is Nirvana's "Love Suite" (from Dedicated to Markos III, 1969, sung by Lesley Duncan), according to 909originals. A 2007 WRCT blog calls Shadow's version ominous and scary and notes that the original turns happy and bouncy right after the sampled section. The single reached 74 in the UK and 14 in Ireland, his only Irish chart entry.
