Ultramarine and Anna Domino meet again for a reworking of their collaborative track "$10 Heel". The song originally appeared on the Ultramarine album Signals Into Space (Les Disques du Crépuscule, 2019). "$10 Rework" replaces the urgent, jittery rhythm of the original with a straighter house backbone and then proceeds to disassemble the structure with a pair of freestyle, hands-on-the-desk, on-the-fly dub mixes. Anna Domino's stream-of-consciousness lyrics tell the impressionistic tale of post-club after-hours chaos in Times Square, NYC circa 1979. Anna raps off studio equipment brand names like passing neon signs glimpsed in a blur through a taxi cab window. Iain Ballamy wields his saxophone like a graffiti artist with a spray can; scrawling and skronking across the canvas. Ric Elsworth lurks in a side alley, unraveling a trash can monologue of wild flamming bongos. Ultramarine is the UK duo of Ian Cooper and Paul Hammond. Formed in 1989, their albums include Every Man and Woman is a Star (Rough Trade, 1991), United Kingdoms (with Robert Wyatt) (Blanco Y Negro, 1993), and Signals Into Space. Anna Domino is an American musician based in LA and NY, best known for her classic run of releases on Belgian label Les Disques du Crépuscule in the 1980s and '90s. Iain Ballamy is a composer and saxophonist; a member of the Loose Tubes collective in the 1980s and more recently with several albums to his name on ECM. Ric Elsworth is UK-based percussionist and vibraphone player.
