SHREM'S INSTITUTE OF LOST CLASSICS: "BLAME" + "CORCOVADO" - Everything But The Girl
Perhaps slightly controversially but completely subjectively speaking these two recordings are my absolute favourites in the entire catalogue of Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn. "Blame", co-produced by drum'n'bass hero J-Majik, was Everything But The Girl's 3rd single from their last studio album "Temperamental" while their exuberant cover of Antônio Carlos Jobim's "Corcovado", originally released on "RED HOT + RIO" compilation back in 2000, remains the duo's final single to date. Two unquestionably spectacular tracks but then again I've always had a very soft spot for EBTG going for the drum'n'bass and jungle sounds, no one ever made them so sublime and refined.

SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "GIRL FROM IPANEMA" - Amy Winehouse /// "GAROTA DE IPANEMA" - Astrud Gilberto



One of the most beloved classics among the lavishly rich lexicon of Brazilian songs interpreted by many many artists all through the years. I picked this charming and wonderful version by back then only 17 years old Amy Winehouse from before her debut "Frank" era. And then the lady herself the exquisite and multi-talented Astrud Gilberto.
Ok I couldn't resist, let's make it a triple trouble and play Maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim too:
