Dub---No Problem

 

The Dubs from In The Light are mixed by Prince Jammy, King Tubby's protegee. You can hear Tubby's pupil just before he started his own label. This is possibly the closest Jammy ever came to learning the lessons of the King. 

Jammy leaves enough of Horace's sublime vocals from In the Light to please the ears without getting all reggae. As much as this album is Horace Andy, it is Prince Jammy as well. Jammy serves with a delicate hand & the result is near Dub perfection.

Prompted by Other Blogs, Part 11

I'm always cruising around the interweb, looking for interesting music. I'll see or hear something out there that sets me on a path. 

 

This time the prompt was a two-fer, in a way. First, I was frequenting one of my regular haunts, Zero G Sounds. What prompted this was Zero's recent posting of the truly stellar debut This Heat by This Heat ...which leads to the second part of this prompt from blog friend Rev. B.

On the Mark Stewart tribute post A Rage of Angels from a few days back, Rev commented:
     "Thank you so much. This really was a punch in the gut. (The Pop Group's) For How Much Longer (Will We Tolerate Mass Murder)... along with This Heat's Deceit pretty much summed up my world view at the time. Honestly, much of what has happened in the world since has validated rather than diminished that outlook."

 

Founded in Camberwell, London, UK in 1975 by Dolphin Logic & the collision with a self confessed non- musician, then seething forth from Cold Storage (a disused meat pie factory in Brixton) with muscular rhythms, musique concrete, found sounds, & bizarre lyrics inhabiting a bizarre, post apocalyptic soundscape, This Heat (Charles Hayward - keyboards, drums, vocals; Charles Bullen - guitar, viola, clarinet, vocals; & Gareth Williams  organ, bass, vocals) only recorded until 1982, with only two albums & a 12" single, yet their legacy looms large in my world.

To paraphrase what Rev. sez: "Honestly, much of what has happened in the world since 1980 has validated rather than diminished the outlook of This Heat." I couldn't agree more deeply. So the two combined through the quantum entanglement that unites our destinies to prompt this post. Zero & Rev.B, thank you both so very much.

The Average Male Ejaculation

 

The self-proclaimed worst band in the world. 

 

From the fertile(ized) minds of Godley & Creme with band chaps Eric Stewart & Graham Gouldman, 10cc's second release.

10cc sprang up out of Strawberry Studio in Stockport at the dawn of the 70s. They had all been in the band Hotlegs (Gouldman only briefly) before starting 10cc.

In 1976 Godley & Creme left to form the more arty Godley & Creme (duh) while Stewart & Gouldman continued as 10cc.

Floydian Sky

Stimulated by the All India Radio posts of December last, a friend asked me if I could possibly feature any other "Floyd-esque music". 

 

Porcupine Tree is a band that I followed at a distance  throughout his (Steve Wilson Porcupine Tree) /their (Porcupine Tree band in various guises) journey. There is a wide range of styles to chose from with the multi-faceted unit. Being mainly driven by Wilson, it is all of excellent quality, be it my cup of tea or not.

But their prog-rock outings venture into Floydian space. Primarily The Sky Moves Sideways.

On the UK original release (Delerium Records DELEC CD 028, 1995), the tracklist is as folows:

The Sky Moves Sideways (Phase One)
Dislocated Day
The Moon Touches Your Shoulder
Prepare Yourself
Moonloop
The Sky Moves Sideways (Phase Two)

While on the US original release (C&S Records CS8524-2, 1995), the track order differed:

The Sky Moves Sideways Phase One
Stars Die
Moonloop
Dislocated Day
The Moon Touches Your Shoulder
The Sky Moves Sideways Phase Two

So both have different track orders & the UK version has "Prepare Yourself" but not "Stars Die" while the US version has "Stars" but not "Prepare". In 2021 there was a Japanese re-issue on two CDs. It included both "Prepare" & "Stars" as well as "The Sky Moves Sideways (alternate version)" & two versions of "Moonloop" labeled "Moonloop (improvisation)" & "Moonloop (coda)". The first CD follows the UK version tracklist with "Moonloop" missing. The second CD has "Sky (alternate)", "Stars", Moonloop (improv)", & "Moonloop (coda)".

The version I am presenting is my own tracklist, which to me makes more sense. I put both "Prepare Yourself" & "Stars Die" then rounded it off with "The Sky Moves Sideways (alternate version)" (a 34+ minute long opus) in the penultimate, & "Moonloop (coda)" to end it all.

A Rage of Angels

I threatened jonder with a different opening here, but it was just shock talking. I'll be much gentler now that I've had time to let my rage out through the raging sounds of Mark Stewart. 

 

The Pop Group's guitarist/saxophonist Gareth Sager said in tribute: "Mark was the most amazing mind of my generation. RIP." 

& On-U Sound's Adrian Sherwood added: "Thank you my brother. You were the biggest musical influence in my life and our extended family will miss you so much. Love forever."

I can say no more. Let the music speak.

"Music is a Universal Language"...Jah Shaka

Friend of NSS kostas.p tipped me to this one that I had missed. So many greats passing on that it is hard to keep up, let alone process. 

 

Jah Shaka, the Dub/reggae pioneer of London Sound System culture passed away April 12th at the age of 75. Shaka moved to London from Jamaica as a child in the late 1950s as part of the Windrush generation.

The singer, producer, & label owner also known as Zulu Warrior released some of the scene's most seminal records on his Jah Shaka Music label. He also manned the influential Jah Shaka Sound System since the 1970s. He influenced everyone from the next generation of Dubheads such as Iration Steppas, Zion Train, Dougie Wardrop's Conscious Sounds, & Jah Warrior to post-punk musicians including the Slits & Public Image Ltd. (Don Letts has frequently referenced the influence of Jah Shaka on John Lydon & the British punk scene as a whole).

I've featured Jah Shaka several times before, check the Labels list or the top-left search. Here's one to celebrate this Shining Star. Jah Shaka & the Fire House Crew with vocals by Max Romeo.

Prompted by Other Blogs, Part 10

I'm always cruising around the interweb, looking for interesting music on various blogs. I'll see or hear something out there that sets me on a path, a new musical journey. 

 

This is the second time I've been prompted by myvinyldreams. I was prompted by them the second time this series appeared, here. At My Vinyl Dreams you'll mostly find 80s/90s vinyl (usually singles & EPs) with all the extra tracks & remixes that come with the singles releases.

DJjedredy (Primary School teacher in Manchester. Vinyl junkie & 80s nostalgia freak) posted several Faithless remix releases. Get them here & here. 

 

I used to listen to Faithless a great deal in the late 90s/early 00s. As oft times happens, my listening pleasures changed. This great crew fell to the wayside only because of my lack of attention & shortness of memory. Eternally grateful for the prompt. 

 

Faithless was, at its core: Maxwell Fraser, better known by his stage name Maxi Jazz, a British musician, rapper, singer, songwriter, & DJ (he died December 23, 2022 R.I.P.); along with Rowland Constantine O'Malley Armstrong known musically as Rollo; & Ayalah Deborah Bentovim, best known by her stage name Sister Bliss, a British keyboardist, record producer, DJ, & songwriter. In the studio, she & Rollo make up the production duo Rollo & Sister Bliss.

The group's first release, 1995s Reverence was a minor underground classic but failed to break into the mass consciousness. That changed with their next release, 1998s Sunday 8PM with it's break-out hit "God is a DJ".

The History of Dogs

Alan Boorman & Richard Sothcott started their musical quest at the age of 6 in 1979 by recording the army field telephone conversations of a group of chickens, then playing it back while hitting a 4 string guitar & a biscuit tin. It was with this beginning, when horses were the size of rabbits,  that Wevie Stonder began their quest into the unchartered depths. It led directly to Itchy Genius & M.C. Hat to begin their crusade. 

 

By July 1993, now twenty, they were armed with an Amstrad 3 track Studio 100, a Johnny Guitar & a Casio PT82. The first recording session with this new equipment soon resulted in a failed cover version of Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You" .

This marked the true birth trauma of Wevie Stonder.

After inserting the resulting cassette into Brighton Music Library, recorded over the b-side of a Steve Reich LP (giving it it's own Dewey Decimal Number), Stonder soon began to expand. 

 

By 1994 Chris Umney had joined. Several years of recording over the same 3 track cassette ensued. There quickly followed a short-lived artistic career featuring live music-theatre performances such as "Carrot the Dog Opera"& an international mail art exhibition "The History of Dogs" which Chris toured around Brazil in 1998 in a large shopping bag. It was through all of these experiences that the group discovered their own true "Cack" style. They have ventured onwards over the following years to produce many great & varied works.

In 1999 a new member, Henry Sargeant (actor), became a permanent feature & disturbing interactive live element, with his ever growing props box & legendary 3 foot cock hat.

Shortly afterwards Nadir al-Badri also joined the ranks, gracing Wevie with additional tuba, midi trumpet,  minature fretless bass, & occasional bee costume. He can often be seen at Wevie gigs dancing like John Travolta whilst encouraging the audience to speak into a tube. The Wevie live show consists of many things other than purely the music: films, competitions, audience participation, onstage fighting & often, a large number of wigs.

Angelic Conversation: “Will We Come Now?”

 

Back in 2010, Phallus Dei released A Day in the Life of Brian Wilson, which I posted here. The day begins with "Dawn (prologue)" & ends with "Dusk (epilogue)". Two songs feature the astounding Clara Engel on vocals Two songs feature the last recordings of Walker Brothers founding member John Walker (John Joseph Maus) on vocals...the previously mentioned "Dusk (epilogue)" as well as "Will You Come Now". 

 

"Will You Come Now" became a minor classic for Phallus Dei. The following year the band released Love, with the Tiniest Red Torch, Branded to Your Heart (Will You Come Now: Remixed) on Big Blue Records. It contained seven different versions of the song including a new Phallus Dei remix. A Phallus Dei self-released four-song Will You Come Now EP offered by the band consisted of two of the LwtTRTBtYHT tracks with two additional tracks, Der Blutharsch & the Infinite Church of the Leading Hand remix & an alternate Phallus Dei remix. Then in 2016 Nostalgie de la Boue released Vapour Unwinds the Dolls which was another six remixes including a different Phallus Dei remix. 

 

I have compiled the original two versions, the seven Big Blue remixes, the two WYCN EP alternate tracks, & the six Nostalgie versions. For your heart-wrenching pleasure. In the order of my preference. R.I.P. John Maus. Will you come now?

I Need Me a Naffi Sandwich --- Yum!

From the murky, clandestine shadows of Tamworth Street, Earlestown, came a new sound. It rose in the stillness of the dark air & drifted ghost-like towards Market Street. Bemused passers-by breathed it in, the music revitalising their bodies like a breath of fresh air. Stray dogs pricked up their ears & stealthy cats paused to take in the magical sound.

Paul Catchpole (aka Captain Catchpole, aka Bomber McBain) - electronics, drums, & vocalist, Gerry Kenny (aka Freddie Viaduct, aka Minister of Noise) - guitarist & bassist, & Brenda Kenny (aka Polly Rithim, aka Brenda & The Beachballs aka Brenda Ray) - multi-percussionist & vocalist were Naffi or Naffi Sandwich or Naafi Sandwich, depending on which mealtime you caught them, I guess.

Naffi Sandwich derived their name from the Navy, Army, & Air Force Institutes (NAAFI), an organization that provided goods to the British armed forces. A 'Naafi Sandwich' is a sandwich with no filling, just two slices of bread with margarine.

The work the threesome created together reflected the humor suggested by this branding. They tended to indulge in offbeat humour while at the same time striving for homespun expansiveness.

The group came from Earlestown, a small town on the border between Merseyside & Greater Manchester. A sleepy, docile, post-industrial typical English town. They came about through humble beginings... a studio behind an old barber shop. Yet Naffi Sandwich went on to receive coveted plaudits from John Peel, supported Julian Cope on a three night run in Liverpool. They drew rare praise from Nico after she witnessed them play in Manchester during her early 80s tenure in the city.

The Naffi Sandwich crew, particularly core vocalist Brenda Ray, propagated an exuberant DIY pop primitivism that smirked & made strange faces, contorting & disorientating its sound into an ecstatic dazzle of Dub abstraction. What distinguished both Naffi & solo Brenda Ray was an ability to tap into a Dub future as yet unrealised, one that was otherworldly but daft; an interplanetary music brimming with nonsense & absurdity.

The first Naffi Sandwich was Rum 1. (rum one or rummun is a Norfolk [north England] expression meaning strange, odd, different, peculiar. "Tha's a rummun ent it"). It's a fitting title for sounds so skewed. A self-published cassette which bore the doctored image of an armed forces drill sergeant on the cusp of an officiously enacted goose step, this is Naffi Sandwich at their most esoteric, blurring grainy DIY dub & recondite novelty exotica.

On Rum 1, Naffi Sandwich are: Captain Catchpole - drums, fx with melos echo unit, & contact mike; Freddie Viaduct - guitar, bass, & cornett; Polly Rithm - alto saxophone, cabasa, cowbell, guiro,melodica, triangle, vibraslap, bell tree, flageolet, & claves.

Yum Yum Yum Yum Ya was released on the Liverpool ARK label in 1982. Early on in this debut LP  the band present the Naffi misfit manifesto "Krazee Music" suffused with prolonged waves of reverb, delivered with an exaggerated, self-parodic style that seemed to sum up what Naffi had been about all along:
      "Well if you need it baby this is what you gotta do/You gotta let the world know that you're krazee too/Krazee/You got me krazee too/Have a krazee time, playing krazee music for you…"

By the end of the album, they come full circle & end with "Krazee Version", a nod to both their ethos & their love of Dub.

Brenda Ray gone solo. Having held dear to her love of Dub & reggae, Brenda had hooked up with Roy Cousins. Roy had been lead singer of The Royals, who had recorded for Duke Reid, Coxsone Dodd, & Joe Gibbs in their heyday. Roy had produced Prince Far I's final recording (see Spear of the Nation post here.

Cousins later funded his own labels, Tamoki Wambesi & Uhuru. Cousins emigrated to Liverpool in the aftermath of Prince Far I's murder. He set up a record shop in Wavertree by the name of Cousins Cove. Roy was a prominent presence within the Liverpool scene of the time. Roy & Ray inevitably crossed paths. Brenda helped Cousins out with reissues from the Tamoki Wambesi back catalogue. This led directly to Walatta. The two took existing master tapes from the label's vaults, riddims that featured the likes of Scientist (a reimagined "Rejoice for the New Born" in the form of "Dreamin"), Prince Jammy (a reimagined "Negus Dub" in the form of "Another Dream") , or Prince Far-I ("Sweet Sweet Wine" is a touching tribute to Prince Far I, who's gravel-rich 'Voice of Thunder' is integrated into a surprisingly cohesive duet with Ray).

They then reimagined the riddims in typical Naffi style. The results is a curious marriage of tough repurposed Dub & avant-pop that Forced Exposure called "slices of psycho-Dub/doo-wop/jazz-fusion/exotica music". 

 

I hope you are ready from some truly special Lover's Rock.

S-EXY Listener’s Digest 3

The first go-round of this series was a two disc set of HIGH / NRG that I posted up as The Kernels of Goodness on the Exystence: Prompted by Other Blogs, Part 6 post November last. That was before this actual project had hatched.

At that time, long-time NSS regular rev.b suggested a  'listener's digests' that I could make a habit of posting these every few months. I posted up two volumes I called S-EXY Listener’s Digest New Faces & Old Friends at the end of January before I embarked on February's Top of the Pops extravaganza.

As I said then, I'm always one for picking up another new bad habit. Guess it's about time for another installment.

The Ethereal set is weighted slightly in the Tor Lundvall direction. Lundvall is a painter whose haunting landscapes appear on the covers of his many albums. As a musician, Lundvall has become known for a highly personal ambient sound. I have been enjoying his output for several decades. His 1997 debut Passing Through Alone caght my ear at the time. The material here is newly released but from a period prior to & coinciding with Passing (the title A Strangeness in Motion: Early Pop Recordings 1989 -1999 anchors it in time).

The rest is made up of those Kernels of Goodness (Nina Hagen, Lee Perry remixes, soul, goth...) that I have been able to glean.
