Title: Robert and Cocteau Twins
Post by: monghi on November 05, 2008, 17:31:07
i found an boolteg with Robert Smith´s remix of Cocteau Twins´s "Cherry Coloured Funk" ... but! i compare it with an album version of that song and there´s no differencies...

so.. did Robert remix that song or is just a fake?? (although... that song is beautiful)

I've never heard of it before. Is it uploaded somewhere so that I can have a listen? I've never heard about robert doing a remix for the Cocteau, they haven't done anything in years, and I've never read anything about it at the time. I believe it's a fake unfortunately.  That said, I'd be glad to learn I'm wrong!

There was a remix of Cherry-Coloured Funk by Mark Clifford on Otherness EP in 1995. Never heard of Robert doing any remixes for CT...

:cry:

every clifford remix on the otherness EP is great, as were his live appearances during the last CT tour. thanks for bringing this back  :D

but back the point : the CT remix by robert smith is obviously a fake ; i've never even tried to download it to hear what it was (and i remember seeing it appear before the "mash-up", bootleg or whatever fashion was on ; so i guess it's not this kind of things).

I found this on a P2P network ages ago, listed as "Cocteau Twins featuring Robert Smith", as if he had played on it.

I ignorantly believed it for a while, but it eventually became pretty obvious that it was a fake.

just listened to the audio clip you sent ; it's not even a fake, it's the original track!
it's a great song indeed ; if you ever want to know more, it's from the "heaven or las vegas" album, 4AD, 1990.
