The Charlatans' "Spinning Out" has been transformed into a totally different beast

24 August 2017, 15:38 | Written by Laurence Day

Composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Simon Fisher Turner has taken a sledgehammer to The Charlatans' Paul Weller collaboration "Spinning Out".

After breaking the track down into fractured fragments, Turner has put it back together - but in a totally different way, and the results are effectively unrecognisable. Instead of swooning, '60s-style pop and wiry guitars, we have a semi-ambient escapade pricked with sparkling electronics and whirring shards of sound. Tim Burgess's voice has been fed through a string of machines to turn it into a handful of hacked-up samples - the only discernable lyrics are eerily read aloud by a child - and Weller's riffs are long gone, but there's definitely a magic intact at the core.

Check out the original version below.

The original edit of "Spinning Out" appears on The Charlatans' LP Different Days, which is out now.
