Life In Sodom – The Stains

Second time around for South Florida noise-niks Life In Sodom’s 1991 debut single «The Stains», which here comes accompanied by a 21st century rework from Mannequin big cheese Alessandro Adriani. His mostly instrumental version adds a little rubbery electronic funk and weightier bottom end into the mix whilst retaining the drum machine driven, guitar-fired sense of impending doom that marked out Life In Sodom’s original mix. That celebrated cut comes in slimmed-down album and extended versions, with the latter working better on club dancefloors. Also worth checking is bonus cut «Phantasmagoria», a much more downbeat and melancholic affair that sounds like it could have been made at any point in the early-to-mid 1980s.
