Irish DJ and producer Greg Downey has joined forces with Mansun vocalist/guitarist Paul Draper to rework Mansun’s classic Wide Open Space from their acclaimed 1997 debut album, Attack Of The Grey Lantern.
The album spent a total of 19 weeks in the UK Chart, knocking Blur’s self-titled album off the no. 1 spot. At year’s end it was included in the Guardian’s ‘Top 10 Pop Albums of The Year’, and NME’s, Q Magazine’s and Melody Maker’s ‘Top 50 Albums of 1997’. Thirteen years after its original release Mansun have announced a special 3-CD edition of the highly acclaimed album that will be available this June. Consisting of the original album re-mastered plus two bonus discs of b-sides, acoustic, live and alternative versions, it will also include Greg’s remix of Wide Open Space.
