whereas most artists get an album or two remixed, this debut single
from the richard dorfmeister offshoot tosca is handed over for
treatment. what is remarkable about this remix 12" is that every
track is distinct in itself, even though they contain essentially
the same elements. this is no surprise when you consider that among
the notable collaboraters were rockers hi-fi and baby mammoth.
despite there being numerous highlights, for me, the cool
jazz-bozza version by boozoo bajou stands out in particular.

"richard did that one with an old school friend as a side project.
his friend tapes all kinds of odd voices and sounds with a portable
recorder. he was in new york and there was a street musician who
was playing and joking that he was the "chocolate elvis." richard's
friend taped him and they created tosca's version of "chocolate
elvis." we released it very quickly because it's a bit different
from our other stuff and we knew that timing would be key.
sometimes with strictly dance-oriented music, you must release
right away. thus we created the side project and did it as a
single."
