About this item

Quiet Village drop a version of Barry Reynolds' 'Till The Doctor Gets Back' with a remix from Mad Professor. The duo's latest release for their eponymous imprint is a love letter to the early-80s sound of Island Records. 'Till The Doctor Gets Back' is a characteristically spaced-out cover of Barry Reynolds which features their first ever commissioned remix, having tapped up Mad Professor.

Recorded in 2024, Quiet Village's 'Till The Doctor Gets Back' evokes the spirit of the 1982 original, a release born out of a period when reggae, dub, pop, rock and dance music were colliding. QV's version is exactly what the duo have been known for since their beginnings in 2005; unhurried, immersive and utterly compelling. With reverb and delays firmly on the 'dub' bus, the track is shot through rich synths, glorious overlapping melodies and a fresh vocal interpretation. Mad Professor's dub slow burns, doubles down on the dub aesthetics and embraces the source material wholly, resulting in a cosseting yet invigorating listen.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Matt & Joel return with some sleazy, blue-eyed boogie which is perfect for cocktail-sipping beach bunnies. Mad Professor gently caresses a few elements through his echo chamber, but it's an unforced and effortless dub that stays true to the original.
