Stressed Out (Bjork’s Say Dip Mix)
A Tribe Called Quest
Stressed Out CD Single, 1996
I would really love to hear the backstory on how this remix came together and whether or not Bjork, Tribe (and Oliver Lake) spent a lot of time in the same room. The verse that Phife recorded for the remixes (to replace Q-Tip cousin’s thoroughly average verse on the album version) is the only verse that appears on this remix but its not clear whether he recorded it for this remix or for the Raphael Saadiq remix. The Raphael Saadiq remix is the only one on the vinyl 12″ but I prefer to imagine this remix (and “Bjork’s Dandelions Mix”) as the driving force for the single and that there was a grand meeting of (3-6 very different) minds!
Oliver Lake isn’t credited but I am assuming that he played the saxes on this track because he played most of the saxes on the beautiful “Anchor Song” (and I think there were some others) from Bjork’s early albums.
