On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Days of Youth...Day 1

Lately everywhere I turn musickally I am running into Youth. 

Youth (Martin Glover, Killing Joke bassist) is highly sought after & super active as a music producer, so no surprise, I guess. Just that ole Quantum Entanglement doing that thing that QE does.

The first encounter came about when I was working on the previous TransGlobal Underground share. I mentioned Nation Records & TGU's stable mate, Invaders of the Heart. I have been listening to Invaders of the Heart's first release, Without Judgement since then. It is on my heavy rotation now. 

I decided I'd see what other music Jah & friends had that I hadn't really listened to, something new that I'm always wanting to hear.

 



Sure enough I ran headlong into the Youth/Jah Wobble joint Acid Punk Dub Apocalypse. Even before I gave it a spin I knew I'd like it. As soon as I saw it had not only Jah & Martin, but a guest list that includes: drummer Tony Allen of Fela Kuti's Africa 70 & Egypt 80 bands; loops, beats & samples from Andrew Weatherall & Nina Walsh of the Woodleigh Research Facility plus their dear friend Alex Paterson (The Orb); Roger Eno on piano; Nik Turner on saxophone; & vocal duties by Lara Smiles, Aurora Dawn, Durga McBroom, Vivien Goldman, Rhiannon, & Hollie Cook, I was hooked.

    Morning, NØ. It's a pleasant Spring day here (NW England) and i hope it is where you are too (despots & demagogues notwithstanding.) Thanks for this; i have bits and bobs of Jah Wobble's output (sadly not a lot by Youth, apart from Killing Joke), and had the pleasure of seeing him a few years ago. A superb gig.
    Anyway. The title alone would sell this to me! I'm looking forward enormously to giving it a listen through my Sennheisers.
