  • In 1996, a piece of the Arthur Baker's 5th Dimension remix of Spaceman was used in a Levi's commercial in the UK and created ridiculous hype. When the song was commercially released a lot of people were disappointed there was no version quite like they imagined.
    An assistant on Capital FM (London) called Marcus 'Mixmaster' McAdam chopped together parts from the various Arthur Baker mixes available to create the version everyone was hoping for. This is a recording I have on an old cassette tape of it being played on Kiss FM.
    Sorry for the poor quality.

    this whole narrative that "everyone thought the slow-down was crap" has been largely fabricated by the music industry and record labels. I was around in 1996 and a lot of people liked it. it stayed at number 1 for like 5 weeks. people were still buying it in droves when they'd heard it and knew full well what they were getting. you never hear it on the radio so I think there is some legal rights dispute and people have tried to tarnish the original creators as "punishment" of some kind. a bit like with the film waterworld -- a very entertaining film but you often hear "experts" trying to say it was a flop and no one liked it.

    • @enzidj

      A lot of people did like the original version. But the Arthur Baker mix was liked as well and is what brought Babylon Zoo to most people’s attention. It’s not about hating on anything

      @@enzidj originally I recall a lot of peddling that Babylon zoo were a crap band and the song was completely crap - "annoying" like Aqua's Barbie Girl... Even the Levi ad was "annoying" ... This didn't gain much traction over time however as like I said, a lot of people did in fact like it and wondered why it was rarely, if ever, played on the radio/music channels. I maintain There has definitely been strong attempts to tarnish this band and song.
