S.A.S - Edits

  • Reviewing edits without having the source material close at hand is tough business. So if this write-up basically amounts to me saying to you that yes, this exists, you'll have to excuse me. It is worth pointing out that these S.A.S. edits exist, however, for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, they're a ton of fun. Second, everybody and their brother seems to be playing them. (So many, in fact, that the promo sheet calls these tracks hotter than a hilariously [siced] "preverbal potato.") Third, fourth and fifth, they're a ton of fun. The men behind the project are Brummie producers Subb-an and Adam Shelton and from what I can tell they do an exceptional job of cutting things up for "In the Candy Store" and "Straight Off the Bone" to make the as dance floor-friendly as possible. Where you hear their talent, though, is in the dub versions. The duo are bassline-obsessed, adding a nice one to "Candy Store" which fills in for the lost personality of the lovably out-of-key freestyle singer, while "Bone"'s bassline also gets beefed up considerably. Subb-an and Shelton don't have much time for the quirkiness of the originals—if memory serves, a ridiculous doctor metaphor was excised from "Bone"—but the dance floor doesn't lie: These things work like a charm.
