Apache

A very influential number to Van Credenza and much of the hip-hop movement, described as such by Afrika Bambaataa and the Sugarhill Gang, Apache has been covered, sampled and mashed by a huge variety of artists. Bert Weedon, rather than The Shadows, initially recorded the tune, although the sample used here is from The Ventures.

Although normally an instrumental, Van Credenza utilises Red Indian backing singers for parts of this rendering: listen carefully, they tell a story.

UltraBoom

A song written to beta titanium standards, but is it hydraulic? We incorporate funky house sounds with driving rhythms to recreate the noise of ariel work platforms in a golfing context.



Or does this concern the increasing prosperity of millions of Asian workers?



This is the opposite of silence, and the world can now listen to the clamour.

19th Nervous Breakdown

"19th Nervous Breakdown" has only been officially released in monophonic sound by the Rolling Stones, like many early Stones recordings. Not many other artists have recorded this song, apart from Peruvian Quechua language band Runa Simi. However, Van Credenza's interpretation is vastly different from both of these known versions.

No Cakes

There are no cakes in this tune and film: no fancy bakes either.

20th Century Boy

This version of the famous T Rex song owes a greater gratitude to Drain STH’s version. A melodic metal band based in Stockholm, Sweden, this all female quartet surpassed, to the mind of Van Credenza, the original Visconti produced Bolan offering.
