HIGH POINT OF MY LIFE, PART 45

This is a remix of Tom Ze's "Gene," which only ever came out on a promotional Luaka Bop EP. It's official title is "Gene To Gene," I think. I feel very lucky to have gotten this call in the first place. There's very little of the original in place: just the opening bit with the pandeiro and the bridge where Ze sings "gena da genna da gen" (phonetic rendering) over and over. It's basically a new song that Liz Mitchell and I wrote. Clem Waldmann played drums and Steve Matthews played congas and steel drum. I played guitars, beats, keys and sanged. The nice voice is Liz, obviously. It "came out" in 1999.
