I've shared Chris Bowsher’s Radical Dance Faction or RDF here before.
I enjoy all of Chris' output but had most of it stashed away in the Musick that Needed Work folder for one reason or another. Mostly just gain issues or ID3 tags or the like, but my copy of Raggamuffin Statement was 192Kbps & I needed a better (320K) version. Here are the three that I had needing work. These are essential...
Surplus People
Chinese Poem
Borderline
Rogue Trooper (live mix)
4 Chuck Chant
Back in the Same Place
Riverwise
Hot on the Wire
Sorepoint for a Sickman
Firepower (originally by Military Surplus)
On Raggamuffin Statement, tracks 1-5 are special mixes, tracks 6-11 are live tracks, & track 12 is a poem by Chris after witnessing first-hand the Hangerford massacre where 27 year old Michael Ryan shot & killed sixteen people, including an unarmed policeman, his own mother, & then himself.
In the daily press, Chris Bowsher, 28, an acquaintance, described Ryan as "a bit of an oddball".

After Raggamuffin Statement the band went on hiatus, regrouping in 2006 & again in 2012. Here's a more recent release with Chris teaming up with a bunch of my favorite artists: Gaudi; Nik Turner (Hawkwind & more); Steve Cruickshank (Revolutionary Dub Warriors). This one is 2xCD, the second one being Dub mixes by Youth.
