Three Epics - Part Four: Drop 2...The Elusive Fame

 

Even with the limited European release, increasing numbers of people were listening. Band friends Leftfield had been checking their releases. Paul Daley suggested that Pressure Drop sign to Leftfield's Hard Hands label. Tearing the Silence EP was released in 1995. Tearing the Silence gained widespread respect, enough to land a deal with Columbia's British club culture Higher Ground sublabel & the release of Pressure Drop's critically acclaimed third album, 1997s Elusive. The writing was on the wall.

Pressure Drop's music was born out of a musical fusion reflecting the multi-ethnic culture the duo  both grew up with in London during a golden age in 20th century music. They could be considered in the vanguard of early 1990s music makers alongside other luminaries such as Massive Attack or Smith & Mighty, Their last sound venture was the 2001s Tread, recorded for Columbia after the duo had moved to Brighton. This is the warrior sound!
