Hello,

I'm jumping in a bit late but I don't care for Kool Aid nearly as much as Bajen Skank - is that just a remixed/reworking of Kool Aid or does it deserve separate consideration? To my ears, it's stand-alone but I thought I read somewhere else is wasn't - there's enough difference to consider it separate to my ears.

Seems separate to me. Different writing credits too.

I realised a while ago that I have no idea what that vocoder(?) voice is saying for half of the intro

Genius and some other lyric sites have this (which made me laugh). Assuming this is wrong though:

Mick Jones is on the microphone
Here to make it to the future
Til the point-promo yeah
Who has a time to laugh
And a time to moan
He's the odd moody bloke from the second tone

I slowed down the track by 20% and that's what I got. No idea if it's correct but what I posted above is all I could hear.

Wasn't the Kool Aid vinyl version a limited edition as well ? I kind of remember the urgency i had to buy mine before they sold out
I get the feeling it was a fill in album so they wasnt away from the public eyes for too long since the last band break up.

The album is great
Yes, this is basically it in a nutshell.

As for the song The Globe, it was a number one single in Australia, and did very well in the States. Remember, it’s about a club of the same name in the Portobello Road. The final album may have been less conceptually of a piece than Kool Aid, but it was quote probably more successful than a full release of the original would have been.

Kickin’ In was probably left off as it’s a remake of Free and it was a worry it would be a legal issue with the movie studio. As it turns out, it likely would not have been a problem because we got it cleared including the voice samples quite easily for Planet BAD. Or maybe it was felt that since Dan left in the interim, a co-write of his wouldn’t fit the bill for a record by the new group.
It was all over 120 Minutes on MTV at the time. That was the first BAD song I actually heard (ok, second, but I didn’t notice BAD on the Ferris Bueller soundtrack until later).
