Fatta suggested "A Message to you Rudie" from Dandy Livingston and the two of them instantly agreed on covering it. I built the riddim, they voiced it African music as we've grown to like it at Paris DJs was not for everyone before the internet age. Lovemonk Spain. End Of The Road 7". Hold On Tight 7". I'd Cry teardrop shaped translucent blue vinyl 12".
If that doesn't get your attention, the audio most certainly will. Taken from last year's collaborative album between Alice and Quantic, "I'd Cry" is a serenade of weeping strings and sentimental pianos coated with Alice's honey-dewed dulcets. All staccato flutes, big horn back drops and more emphatic Russell goodness.
Whether you have the album Look Around The Corner or not, this super-limited, lovely looking vinyl genuinely is essential. Accompanying this is a ten track CD that features those aforementioned versions along with several more remixes - with Tru Thoughts stalwart Hint coming out on top! Both were recorded in one take live direct to disc a system which bypasses the use of magnetic tape and features Will Quantic's band Combo Barbaro, including musicians from Peru and Columbia flown over to UK especially for the recording.
Both releases are simply outstanding, with Alice Russell's vocals soaring in places and gentle in others. Collectable and, quite simply, essential. Unlike many of their previous combined outings, Look Around The Corner largely eschews hard-boiled funk and heavy soul in favour of a looser, folksier, more organic sound clearly inspired by Rotary Connection and in particular the production of Charles Stepney.
With Quantic's Cuban backing band, Combo Barbaro, offering solid backing, and Holland himself in the control room, it's an expansive, adventurous and finely crafted album that boasts far more hits than misses. Look Around The Corner 10". When the two have previously collaborated, the results have mostly been dipped in magic and lovingly various - compare the heaving funk of "Pushin On" with the more delicate "Sweet Calling".
It can't help but recall The Rotary Connection and the whole track is lifted beyond the clouds by Russell's immediately distinctive voice. Taking it even further away from the bassline-driven source, if you didn't know it was a cover you'd think it was an original. Once again, it's so well executed, it's like a whole new original. A seven nation army can't hold us back from this one sorry.
Seven Nation Army limited 7". Armed with one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary soul, here we find her applying her emphatic tones to an array of flavours, from smoky blues "Heartbreaker" to slinky, late night jazz soul "Twin Peaks" via her trademark, smouldering funk "A To Z" there is no better showcase of her skills.
Now available as a special gram vinyl, packaged in a cool gatefold sleeve, if you've not already got this, now is most certainly the time. We're even including the MP3s. To Dust Vinyl 2xLP. Kasha Macka Dub B A1: "Vamos Irmanos" is a funky-latin-breakbeat track with live played Percussion. The wahwah guitar, saxophone, hammond, dirty drums and latin vocals are guaranteeing a definite floorfiller. A2: Parov Stelar minimized the funk and out came a Funky-House Track which also guarantees a lot of movement on the dance floor.
B1: The funky Guitar of is pushing the track extremely forward with the pumpin' bass and sharp horns doing the rest! B2: The Wicked Lester Remix is more like minimal breaks, quiet monotone, with lots of little gadgets and a bass line that makes your body move!
The above has all been translated from german!!!!!! Apologies if it doesn't make sense! Invision Records. AFunky in the Middle feat. On the flipside, the critic's choice cut on the album, "Crazy Stranger," takes us on a BPM trip from the Blakans to Jerusalem and beyond.
The Rust Belt EP is a musical tribute to a gritty, industrial stretch of land in the North-Central and Northeast United States once known for its heavy industry and manufacturing plants. It's a part of the country that stretches from Detroit to Buffalo, and an area which is rapidly shrinking and rusting over with the advent of free trade and a global economy — it's an area that Jugoe knows best.
