No, It's still there for me  dilate.choonz.com/I just heard, and fell in love with this today after hearing it on a Mark E mix that he did recently for the consistently quality smorgasbord of DJ delicacies that is Beats in Space. It’s not so much the first half of this track, pleasant as it may be, that does the biz, but rather, once you get past the flesh and bones of the Yusuf Islam cover, the singer (Patti?) starts to pose rhetorical questions as to how one would feel without certain appendages.. and it really gets going into a beautifully arranged piece of gutsy, gospel soul, with every member of the band getting their moment of glory. If you really can’t be patient, skip straight to about 4 mins 30 seconds. EDIT: The version on the Mark E is actually one of his unreleased edits.. don’t know if that one will eventually see the light or not… Here's the shortcut to the download Download MP3 (9:23min / 17MB) |

I just downloaded it and had a listen. Wow! These guys are such talented musicians! It's very humbling. The whole thing is "gutsy" including the cover itself, and it's a terrific example of how Cat's music inspires other artists. Thank you, Sue. ~Sun~ |

Absolutely, they named the album after the song. It's a gem :-)

This is a link to the report "The life of Cat Stevens". It is so interesting and the pics of the young Steven are very cute. There you can also see Shaftesbury Avenue, where the "Moulin Rouge" was. Sorry, if it is duplicated. The Life Of Cat Stevens |

Just out of a curiosity, does anyone know what Yusuf says at the end of the song "I look, I see"? It sounds like an arabic word, but I don't have a clue. Here's the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8ZSt5kAJwEThanks| :-) |

Here's the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8ZSt5kAJwEThanks| :-) Sounds something like "tukveer". What it means, I have no idea. Been wondering myself for quite a while. Great video, though.

Here's the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8ZSt5kAJwEThanks| :-) Hi, Giuly! It is an Arabic word - takbeer - which means, "Exclaim Allahu Akbar!" Allahu means "God" and Akbar means "great," so Allahu Akbar simply means "God is Great." Yusuf says, "Takbeer!" after his performance to request that the audience say, " Allahu Akbar (God is Great)." This is to remind everyone that all praise is due to God and not to Yusuf, since it's God Who gives Yusuf the ability to perform. This is to avoid adulation, idol-worship, and false pride. It's like saying Grace before a meal: "God is Great And God is Good And we thank Him For this food" Allahu Akbar means exactly the same as "God is Great" in Grace. It's our humble recognition of God's magnificence and our total dependence on Him. I hope this helps. Thank you for asking. ~Sun~ |
