Danger Mouse & Daniele Lippu - Two Against One

Danger Mouse & Daniele Lippu
Two Against One / Black
Third Man Records TMR 093 (2011)

This is a hauntingly cinematic track by Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi featuring vocals by Jack White (The White Stripes). Released in 2011 as part of their collaborative album Rome, the song combines elements of Italian film scores, particularly inspired by classic Spaghetti Westerns, with modern rock influences.

The flip side of the 45 features the vocal talent of Norah Jones.

Jack White’s sharp, almost sinister vocals are paired with eerie, twangy guitar riffs and orchestral flourishes, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and unsettling. The song's lyrics capture themes of inner conflict and paranoia, embodying a character caught between opposing forces or identities. With its unique sound and noir atmosphere, the track is an excellent example of Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi’s ability to bridge musical genres and eras.

The entire Rome album features an impressive lineup, as well as musicians who worked with Ennio Morricone, further anchoring its sound in the Spaghetti Western genre.

Marion Ryan  (4 February 1931 – 15 January 1999)  was a popular British singer in the 50s & 60s, once called "the Marilyn Monroe of popular song".  Most of her output is referred to as run of the mill pop but the "A" side of a 1968 release, although not experiencing any chart success at the time, found acceptance during the 1970s on the Northern Soul dance scene. The flip is one of her many standard pop ballads, sung well, but nothing special. Philips BF 1721 FLAC

Vibravoid Kraut Rock Sensation EP Fruits De Mer CRUSTACEAN 07 (2009) Another great slab of vinyl from the Fruits De Mer label featuring the band Vibravoid who hail from Dusseldorf, Germany. The original plan for the label was for long lost rock classics to be re-released however licensing the music was I assume very difficult and expensive so the label moved into having rare and classic rock being re-recorded as cover versions. This EP was a limited release of 300 copies so finding a copy these days is difficult.  On the EP the tracks being covered are: Kraftwerk's Ruckzuck  Amon Duul II's Eye Shaking King Can's Mother Sky Mashantra's Rauchkraut FLAC

Various Artists Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited EP Polydor 9839472 (2006) An English language tribute album to the works of the late Serge Gainsbourg was released in 2006 and from the album this limited edition EP was produced.  The actual release is not an EP per say but 2 x 7" vinyl discs in a gatefold sleeve (normally referred to as a double pack). Regardless of the format name here are 4 great English versions of Gainsbourg's work.  Tracks 1-3 are featured on the original album whilst track 4 was only (initially) available via this "EP".  My favourite is Cat Power & Karen Elson's "I Love You (Me Either)" the English version of "Je T'aime Moi Non Plus" .   The song was written in 1967 for Brigitte Bardot and she sang on the original recorded version .  Although she was in a relationship with Gainsbourg, she was at the time of recording still married to the German millionaire playboy Gunter Sachs. He heard via press reports of the rec...
