<br /><br />Her debut full-length album, 2018s <u>Nameless</u> thematically centered on historical struggles of Afro-American silences & sorrows in the face of systemic racism..

<br /><br />In 1990, Cobby teamed up with David 'Man' McSherry to form Fila Brazillia, named after the mis-heard naming of an agressive breed of dog, the Fila Brasilliero (but with "a Z & two L"). Both artists are members of other bands or work regularly on other projects, but enjoyed getting together in a more casual environment where they simply played what was in their minds & on their fingertips at the moment.
<br /><br />I have a file full of Fila but for some reason never got around to sharing it with you all.

<br /><br />This month I'm sharing his excellency, <b>Archbishop Kebab</b>. This was an avant-hardcore collective formed around 1986, actually from Edinburgh, but they were a part of the Glasgow noise scene, closely aligned with Dog Faced Hermans, Badgewearer, & Dawson, each of which I have shared previously in this series. Together for about 13 years, they produced five full-length releases during their span.
<br /><br />Here is their first... </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLX4huZqBHzoHr7_eEw1dlV3Gh3eT1_iU_dqQWh2pQ1RKCDRnUk2q40XluxMVvsmfPSR1JhPtz6lY_o03twmy_2vs4fbM7beAqXFJT_4K4bF5otWUmu5RTjs2LdqFrlt1EAHRK0VBRkMiRwjJBX1rrQh1_B0X0ule3i0RNzAGfWjvZ7voOz3BXlSshkqOQ/s600/Yinferranodgie%20front.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLX4huZqBHzoHr7_eEw1dlV3Gh3eT1_iU_dqQWh2pQ1RKCDRnUk2q40XluxMVvsmfPSR1JhPtz6lY_o03twmy_2vs4fbM7beAqXFJT_4K4bF5otWUmu5RTjs2LdqFrlt1EAHRK0VBRkMiRwjJBX1rrQh1_B0X0ule3i0RNzAGfWjvZ7voOz3BXlSshkqOQ/s600/Yinferranodgie%20front.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">

The group was riginally formed by Jimmy Cauty (of <b>The KLF</b>) & Alex Paterson in 1988 as a project to explore their fondness for ambient music, Dub, soundscapes, & science fiction. They became pioneers of the early-90s "ambient house" genre. Over the years Alex has been the only consistent member, whose other notables have included Thrash (Kim Weston) & Thomas Fehlmann. Closely associated with the Orb & at many times a guiding voice isYouth (a.k.a. Martin Glover). He co-owned the label WAU! Mr. Modo Recordings along with Alex. </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4JB59XDHI6LG94E21GQsz0JfC0RLPbK2DVERzZOvPVmLU1N8d2t8AKTKktQJxs-pJ01WSE0jhJePvF_ki7fY94f6xPsV6jWQ0xGMBDlMOzJrTmk3N1_eD5gPlIUehcPHNJ73PF-UE0rlBRZpquCedB6OYiNLGksI9zGtxSFmbGuTSAg3IPiAvsKp1mfeH/s600/The%20Orb%20&%20Lee%20band%20foto.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4JB59XDHI6LG94E21GQsz0JfC0RLPbK2DVERzZOvPVmLU1N8d2t8AKTKktQJxs-pJ01WSE0jhJePvF_ki7fY94f6xPsV6jWQ0xGMBDlMOzJrTmk3N1_eD5gPlIUehcPHNJ73PF-UE0rlBRZpquCedB6OYiNLGksI9zGtxSFmbGuTSAg3IPiAvsKp1mfeH/s600/The%20Orb%20&%20Lee%20band%20foto.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><p>
<br /><br />The Orb's electro-ambient house first meets Lee 'Scratch' Perry's ethereal, cosmic Dub in 2012s <u>Orbserver in the Star House</u>. This coming together of two disparate stylings works so well primarily because of the balance the Orb are able to strike between their own unique minimal house sound & adapting to accommodate Lee's Dub roots.
<br /><br />The Orb were prepared with a few base tracks & a bare-bones idea when they walked into the studio before meeting Lee for the first time back in 2004. But Perry had his own creative ideas.The Orbsters quickly found the limited number of tracks they had previously laid down to be insufficient to record all the ideas Lee inspired.
<br /><br />They proceeded to craft the rest of the record there in the studio in the truest form of collaboration. The Observer sits in the Star House & calls it out like he sees it,
<br /><br />This collaboration between The Orb & Lee 'Scratch' Perry take many twists & turns. The original release really works as Perry's unique voice melds perfectly with the tracks. It is not ambient Orb, but Dub Orb. </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimWDD0y4me1LJ8NV-avn2NIPN03XPn0NABXXPtTzVp3AN5Z34UzIRgqAQ__5xHxq9QVty1WsaCiieE0nRzZyeDgvlu_xwgj0VK4b65UQ8C2I6Y97oqAEv25GZSDPQTvB5PVHTK0Pljsf6BVVF8niEyJ7A_dkQ-Ah_heNThn26Pz1l4g47vHRjqliRCWViV/s600/Observer%20in%20the%20Star%20House%20front.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimWDD0y4me1LJ8NV-avn2NIPN03XPn0NABXXPtTzVp3AN5Z34UzIRgqAQ__5xHxq9QVty1WsaCiieE0nRzZyeDgvlu_xwgj0VK4b65UQ8C2I6Y97oqAEv25GZSDPQTvB5PVHTK0Pljsf6BVVF8niEyJ7A_dkQ-Ah_heNThn26Pz1l4g47vHRjqliRCWViV/s600/Observer%20in%20the%20Star%20House%20front.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">

He is always giving me great ideas for some off-kilter shares that I truly enjoy. He's like that voice inside my head that sez:<br /> "Nathan, what about..." & it's always a great suggestion about something I should have shared previously but simply forgot.
<br /><br />He was wondering if I might have a great 6xLP box set <u>I am not Artist (1973-1988)</u> by <b>Smegma</b>. Unfortunately I don't. Mostly sold out around the interweb, original label Vinyl-on-Demand lists it for <b>74,00 €</b> plus shipping, which is a bit steep for this wee boy. </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge90AT8Dkys3yhT7jtJ_S9QhLYdvlyLJTC6OG3Zr-FbhgGQWZhUrcCCHuBITcbMqixXdfVadqt30HAATgeUD-TwVodnRV2F1aGY8rKklBNXmx70QLo-aW9JcXYcAkzBWeXVxmwFewenqIpPyGrmts8iMLuP5zYXegqE3vPd0y53OozcblxHnWoqdadruvq/s600/Smegma%20band%20foto.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge90AT8Dkys3yhT7jtJ_S9QhLYdvlyLJTC6OG3Zr-FbhgGQWZhUrcCCHuBITcbMqixXdfVadqt30HAATgeUD-TwVodnRV2F1aGY8rKklBNXmx70QLo-aW9JcXYcAkzBWeXVxmwFewenqIpPyGrmts8iMLuP5zYXegqE3vPd0y53OozcblxHnWoqdadruvq/s600/Smegma%20band%20foto.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><p>
<br /><br />I do have quite a few other Smegma titles however. I first shared Pigs for Lepers in June 2016 <a href="https://nathannothinsez.blogspot.com/2016/06/absolute-equinox.html">here</a> & then Rumblings a few months later in August <a href="https://nathannothinsez.blogspot.com/2016/08/you-can-never-have-enough-smegma.html">here</a>. Decided I'd share one of my favorites. This is the 2007 reissue with eleven extra tracks from the studio side of the <u>Morass</u> cassette. Dedicated to the memory of Tom (Pig Champion) Roberts...

<br /> <i><b> "have you got anything by Pressure Drop stashed away on a HD?".
</b></i><br /><br />Well, I explained to him then that I had Pressure Drop set to, well, drop as the kids say, in April. April is planned for a series of jumbo posts: a 4AD retrospective, a dive into Smegma, Musick that Needs Work - N, & a look at three bands under the heading <b>Three Epics</b>, of which Pressure Drop is part two. But April is a long time to make a friend wait.
<br /><br />So, MarkyD, here are two singles & a remix set to tide you over... </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV1eIw8z9ls67G9wuiFH3HxkHkSCC3wMKI-e8ytpViKO6-2lCFUZ6wvZIw3_QER5qUwvSNMd-q68T7sTHEPSd5UnMwjAdMftolnkPXPeuCALAaviI1ya98MTo-iSe4Z0pFbUODmyBN41V28K139glkB0aKtSMPEx7hjb8hIp5xT6_T5n994AYtUhTdj8M_/s600/Got%20to%20Be%20for%20Real%20Side%20A.jpeg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV1eIw8z9ls67G9wuiFH3HxkHkSCC3wMKI-e8ytpViKO6-2lCFUZ6wvZIw3_QER5qUwvSNMd-q68T7sTHEPSd5UnMwjAdMftolnkPXPeuCALAaviI1ya98MTo-iSe4Z0pFbUODmyBN41V28K139glkB0aKtSMPEx7hjb8hIp5xT6_T5n994AYtUhTdj8M_/s600/Got%20to%20Be%20for%20Real%20Side%20A.jpeg" width="600" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /><br />As for Statik Sound System, you'd probably be surprised how much attention they have garnerd. Trip-hop Feb. was the second time I've shared them. The last time was October 2023 when I was on a slight <b>Tricky/Cup of Tea</b> tangent, <a href="https://nathannothinsez.blogspot.com/2023/10/ill-give-you-statik-if-i-want-to.html">here</a>.

I even shared the cover to Tigermouth on the Pimps post (that cover is just plain hot) & name-dropped it.

<br /><br />While I was posting up Trip-hop last month, I got a comment from Anonymous <a href="https://nathannothinsez.blogspot.com/2024/02/fab-trip-23_084464733.html">here</a>.<br /> Anon sez:<br /> <b><i>"Sooooo...day 25 of Triphopuary and I'm still hoping for a Monk & Canatella post...M&C's Cup of Tea and biscuits were a sweet treat so here's a slightly fattened version of Care in the Community...https://we.tl/t-vBqrW3hnro"</i></b>.
<br /><br />I love it when a visitor takes the time to share things. The link is for We Transfer & they only leave the file up for a week, so I checked with Anon about giving it a more permanent sharing space. I got the green light, so here we go, from the great Cup of Tea Records label. </p><p>Thanks, Frenz.

Last September Reb started a private sharing site called <b><span style="font-size: medium;">Rebet Roots</span></b> for those particularly interested in Dub/reggae music. It is members-only. Since its inception there are now more than 800 shares, many with multiple releases, over a thousand unique titles & growing. Everything is 320mp3 or FLAC, with the majority FLAC.<br /><br />I joined & have downloaded many great Dub albums that, yes, even I didn't have! It has been fantastic. Since that time, several folks who frequent this mess have joined in on the fun. Reb let me know that there are still a few openings for members if anyone is interested.<br /><br />Here is his original message:<br /><br /><b><i>"Hi, Reb here from reggae sharing site, Rebel Rootsmusic. We share all forms of reggae in FLAC or mp3 320. The site is just starting, it's a private site so limited to 100 people, so first come first served.<br /><br />Anybody wishing to join, send me an email, with your name & your google email address so I can get back to you."</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">email Reb @ rebel-roots-music@proton.me</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></b><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Since it is a sharing, members-only site, there are two rules.<br />1. You must share at least one (1) item per month, FLAC or 320mp3.<br />2. If you download someone's contribution, you must say at least <b>"Thank you"</b> in the comments.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Reb @ rebel-roots-music@proton.me</b></span><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br />Join up, you can't go wrong,<br />NØ</p>NØhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04547707021973240126noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150115688344897494.post-45220900255491430322024-02-29T00:03:00.002-05:002024-02-29T00:03:00.126-05:00Fab, You Weary? Take the Leap, Trip 29<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Strange day indeed! Let's take a leap...
</span></b><br /></div><p><br /> </p><p>It turns out that the purveyors of my favorite Trip-hop of the 21st Century are ''acts we've known for all these year''. The Sneaker Pimps 2021 release shared earlier this month is a prime example. Every Morcheeba release since Skye re-appeared on that horizon. Even Portishead's long awaited <u>Third</u>. But in my opinion, the artist at the Trip-hop top is none other than Lonely Guest.
<br /><br />Who???
<br /><br />Lonely Guest!

<br /><br />Who the F??? is that, you might ask. </p><p>The inadvertent progenitor of the genre. The author of a paean to his mother Maxine Quaye who is nearly God . It is but another nom de musique for Adrian Thaws, the Tricky one. </p><p>When I first heard Lonely Guest's self-titled, I was blown away. This is a work of sheer genius. As I have listened to it many many times, I am certain it is one of the best Trip-hop album ever (right up there with Tricky's first) as well as one of the best albums of any genre I have ever heard. The things that M. Tricky does with sounds & words & beats & the human voice-as-musickal-instrument are nothing less than spectacular.
<br /><br />Like many other musicians, Tricky had been expecting to be on the road throughout 2020 (promoting his <u>Fall to Pieces</u> release). But as we all know, the Covid lockdowns put the kybosh to those plans. He then started to collaborate with other artists, realizing they could work together without physically BEING together. Thus <u>Lonely Guests</u>, the "self-titled" album released in 2021 on Tricky's label <b>False Idols</b> featuring collaborations with Marta Zlakowska, Joe Talbot, Oh Land, Murkage Dave, Lee Perry, Rina Mushonga, Kway, Paul Smith, & Breanna Barbara.
<br /><br />Listen to this with a clear & open mind & please let me know what you think. This whole Trip-hop magilla has led to this climactic moment. Play it Loud! Hit atmosphere! </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvJ3Nacfp58shVSHc4B82Ff6jD5rOoqzLdNpgTcMnX2CF4-EzP8hHmJnnilFKfgYqJeZ20kBlVO_09363P8WFe4mrZ5D6RSjn40TWRppGtgHTKmIjGUQQLRCmZGvk-ZD34NfPeKz9r1kYzcOVVDbwumypNyohKh2b2XUD4CfGDBa-3xsAfFlCxheLBAJlB/s600/Lonely%20Guest%20front.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvJ3Nacfp58shVSHc4B82Ff6jD5rOoqzLdNpgTcMnX2CF4-EzP8hHmJnnilFKfgYqJeZ20kBlVO_09363P8WFe4mrZ5D6RSjn40TWRppGtgHTKmIjGUQQLRCmZGvk-ZD34NfPeKz9r1kYzcOVVDbwumypNyohKh2b2XUD4CfGDBa-3xsAfFlCxheLBAJlB/s600/Lonely%20Guest%20front.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /><br />FiFi Rong is a Chinese-British vocalist, songwriter, & producer. Her musical vision was forged in the crucible of her journey from China to the UK alone at age 16. Upon arrival in the UK, she set about exploring the potentials she was forced to repress growing up in China. It was only after she met her childhood musical hero Tricky, who saw FiFi's potential & encouraged her to pursue it, that she began to truly gain confidence in her own work. Her music deftly highlights the duality that merges Eastern roots with Western experience.
<br /><br />FiFi uniquely weaves emotional intimacy & vulnerability into her distinctive sonic vision. She manages to effortlessly blend Trip-hop with elements of alt. pop, R&B, electronica, IDM, avant-garde, & UK Bass, enveloping her unmistakable vocals in this mesmerising tapestry.
<br /><br />Her impressive collaborations include renowned artists such as Skepta, with her vocals gracing his hugely successful UK No. 2 & Mercury Prize-winning album, <u>Konnichiwa</u>. She has also worked with Tricky, Yello (on their chart-topping albums <u>Point</u> & <u>Toy</u>), Phaeleh, & the late Lee 'Scratch' Perry. <br /><br />Here are a couple early ones, Fifi's debut full-length & an EP from the following year.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAPTB-T5QQ172l775tCWOxGdGGrrrPBcogtPQAiot0HIaTWwLZKoGe0Auu5f5KQLGsm_ToJS2GGo8mThq4AqyowCzkq9BQfdruC9NiiWRGczVxguFB90NINSDOiWBWhXBXVcPR0XEzAapS1I2UBGFqwlJyH9vGP7kD2ukSjGjjtgcAmjUGM5YzR2e3S8tE/s600/Wrong%20front.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAPTB-T5QQ172l775tCWOxGdGGrrrPBcogtPQAiot0HIaTWwLZKoGe0Auu5f5KQLGsm_ToJS2GGo8mThq4AqyowCzkq9BQfdruC9NiiWRGczVxguFB90NINSDOiWBWhXBXVcPR0XEzAapS1I2UBGFqwlJyH9vGP7kD2ukSjGjjtgcAmjUGM5YzR2e3S8tE/s600/Wrong%20front.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /><br />Anomie Belle is the performing name of Toby Campbell of Seattle, Washington, a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, producer, & political artivist who uses her artistic talents to fight against injustice & oppression by any medium necessary. She began writing & recording her own music as a child, developing a uniquely personal eclectic avant-garde musical style.
<br /><br />She has collaborated with many noted musicians, both Bonobo & Tricky in the Trip-hop vein. Her music is a mix of electronic & organic instrumentation, fiercely sensual vocals with thickly layered, ethereal soundscapes.
<br /><br />Her artivism has been described as <b>"beautiful desocialization"</b>. Her songs are critical of blind adherence to consumerism. They're smoky & sultry yet champion individuality & critical thinking.
<br /><br />Toby sez:
<br /> <b><i>"I grew up in your prototypical American suburb. The manicured lawns, strip mall parking lots, chain stores, and massive expanses of cement and housing developments depressed me. I chose the moniker Anomie Belle to speak to the decadent alienation of the American dream. Growing up, music became my outlet. Bored by video games and dollhouses, I plunked away on my parent's piano for hours at a time, teaching myself to play blues riffs and writing little pop songs." </i></b><br /></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtjDlwOHItc3lW5IzYdktLd_itPWPDMk_ee1wHmf9alRmpJjTFjzw34u5XDlgjZQhUdLlAPfaz7-pOvbAma-aWNALMqOOcykOdl_itKukVhT2Gp4-T-GdWBobYAMM5nmPDAF02E33rJjjNluk9X_Ior5wtcepq_l818YA9yxSe-ndwpc4Hw5n-qOMLKgWX/s600/The%20Crush%20front.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtjDlwOHItc3lW5IzYdktLd_itPWPDMk_ee1wHmf9alRmpJjTFjzw34u5XDlgjZQhUdLlAPfaz7-pOvbAma-aWNALMqOOcykOdl_itKukVhT2Gp4-T-GdWBobYAMM5nmPDAF02E33rJjjNluk9X_Ior5wtcepq_l818YA9yxSe-ndwpc4Hw5n-qOMLKgWX/s600/The%20Crush%20front.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">

Christine & Dwight both sing & wrote the lyrics, with Christine doing the lead vocals. Dwight also played keyboards. Alex's forte was sampling/sequencing/mixing.
<br /><br />Baby Fox took elements of Dub & blues to create an off-beat, slightly eerie atmosphere. Not being on one of the genres "respected" labels or from Bristol, the group fought an uphill battle for recognition. They created capable groove-oriented dance music. The beats, the rhythms, the personality, the samples were all great but they proved to not be groundbreaking or breathtaking enough. They released only two full-length offerings before disbanding. This is their swan-song. </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikSA9oiG5lmuQdFslM49OdL14beOjalCFkVQF0NpT8x-xUY8Z6Eg4Vj3atqUJs_D5MiR1T-fIa7GN2uEZM-tjK1O7XyQZNLAx_70GRuu_Da-8u9693jOiM8G-QvwHb9gDMZwegvIndA82wHJZxyElVPYDtuAGWU8qZ-TDV_2ld0cpbxdIocz148SFVmcaT/s600/Dum%20Dum%20Baby%20front.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikSA9oiG5lmuQdFslM49OdL14beOjalCFkVQF0NpT8x-xUY8Z6Eg4Vj3atqUJs_D5MiR1T-fIa7GN2uEZM-tjK1O7XyQZNLAx_70GRuu_Da-8u9693jOiM8G-QvwHb9gDMZwegvIndA82wHJZxyElVPYDtuAGWU8qZ-TDV_2ld0cpbxdIocz148SFVmcaT/s600/Dum%20Dum%20Baby%20front.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /><br />Another Trip-hop duo from Toronto. </p><p>Sissy come on strong with a fearless, uncompromising sound that combines the exquisite disquiet of singer Johanne Williams' vocals with the discordantly melodic, electronic landscapes that producer & multi-instrumentalist David Trusz creates. </p><p>The group utilizes old-school Moogs, Oberheims, tape-delay machines, & band-pass filters as anti-digital calling cards, yet Trusz's deployment of ominous booms, echoes, & superlow (20?) beats-per-minute rhythm tracks along with Williams' breathy yet vaguely threatening scatty vocals are what set Sissy apart from the pack. This one is defintely top notch. </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy0Ydd32dUU0p_LcBT6pAuXrpfIvssGPZdzFajHk3eIYRS5jf2qWt9MUX-sU84iPBGDg9EP6hPDqOCHbp2lrVtfzQpTZsPMykblAzwuWTUkcClGcHIQXvFZVYdFVBPGtuoh_Z70S3oIxAArZ-aLqzrJsFr3ye4156f4svoLw5PuNftybW6o5JXcrc5X_OF/s600/March%20of%20the%20Humans%20front.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy0Ydd32dUU0p_LcBT6pAuXrpfIvssGPZdzFajHk3eIYRS5jf2qWt9MUX-sU84iPBGDg9EP6hPDqOCHbp2lrVtfzQpTZsPMykblAzwuWTUkcClGcHIQXvFZVYdFVBPGtuoh_Z70S3oIxAArZ-aLqzrJsFr3ye4156f4svoLw5PuNftybW6o5JXcrc5X_OF/s600/March%20of%20the%20Humans%20front.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://mega.nz/file/u4lTlAqY">Sissy - March of the Humans</a></b>, Four O’Clock Sun Recordings FOSR0001, 2012.

It's been nearly twenty years since their last release. Back in August 2018 I shared an in-depth post of the <a href="https://nathannothinsez.blogspot.com/2018/08/36-chambers-nike-dunk-high.html">Sneaker Pimps</a>. </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-m2IW5i0A_p2fy1leS8YjCyA5jeC2VxRn0GW_81wX_2fm-0yHjyKJjAifs7UYccN9i1KKYCwZzL2Bzi4CGZnftd4i-N1-lh0Fy3eQycRDdJix_d3bTXlee1WmDSklzDtiNU_O_lUHGtvwD7lDteMX0Z76T12Dnrx3M8ZdFdq5nVtTmVxEnCCOnrK1IBe/s600/Sneaker%20Pimps%20band%20foto.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-m2IW5i0A_p2fy1leS8YjCyA5jeC2VxRn0GW_81wX_2fm-0yHjyKJjAifs7UYccN9i1KKYCwZzL2Bzi4CGZnftd4i-N1-lh0Fy3eQycRDdJix_d3bTXlee1WmDSklzDtiNU_O_lUHGtvwD7lDteMX0Z76T12Dnrx3M8ZdFdq5nVtTmVxEnCCOnrK1IBe/s600/Sneaker%20Pimps%20band%20foto.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><p>
<br /><br />Their <u>SP4 demos</u> from 2004 was originally given to a record label, only to be refused, thus making it unreleased. It's initial name was <u>Recall</u>, but was later retitled simply <u>SP(Sneaker Pimps)4</u>. This rejected fourth album was released on the Sneaker Pimps website, back when it was functioning. There was a surreptitiously leaked seven track that popped up on a music player in a bar in Russia sometime around 2005-2006 that was after years verified as a legit Sneaker Pimps recording, which keyboardist Liam Howe confirmed as <u>The Magnificent Seven</u>.
<br /><br />Then low & behold, in 2021 an all new <u>Sneaker Pimps - Squaring the Circle</u> was released. Here it is in all its glory, confirming once more that the great Trip-hop acts can still get it done the right way.
<br /><br />I can't really say enough about this fantastic disc. With incredibly precise instrumentation & inspired lyrics from Liam Howe & Chris Corner, this release is on par with <u>Becoming X</u>, <u>Splinter</u>, or <u>Bloodsport</u>. The Pimps have not missed a beat. Corner's vocals are sounding stronger than even "Loretta Young Silks" & teamed with new vocalist Simonne Jones, they are nothing less than perfection. I feel that "Stripes" may be the best song the band has ever done, but listen for yourself & decide. I'll stop blathering now. </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXugrqT-whvl0__8crAUIw9vnZNAT178ILy-IodgsOGh1-_2UHX5gnZ2Dk9yMm-ifinsoac7Dg2fQH1M6j1lkxOHsQvNrJhOgGWSNKWln8oDJCYeMmmILEuuVdK9cHJz5ubCVSNdBuO-9GiflotcEqTL_8gWmJKb_DjN6LeKkDBpNQ8kdaJlY0XDNNcH9i/s600/Squaring%20the%20Circle%20front.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXugrqT-whvl0__8crAUIw9vnZNAT178ILy-IodgsOGh1-_2UHX5gnZ2Dk9yMm-ifinsoac7Dg2fQH1M6j1lkxOHsQvNrJhOgGWSNKWln8oDJCYeMmmILEuuVdK9cHJz5ubCVSNdBuO-9GiflotcEqTL_8gWmJKb_DjN6LeKkDBpNQ8kdaJlY0XDNNcH9i/s600/Squaring%20the%20Circle%20front.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /><br />Violette Records sez: <br /><b><i> "Beatowls’ hall of mirrors reflects the DIY approach of Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland, warps The XX’s millenial longing onto Portishead’s sense of the sinister & distorts Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood’s trippy idealism with the skewed romanticism & foreboding of Angelo Badalamenti & David Lynch, Broadcast & Warp Records.
<br /><br /> The band push boundaries with their creative exploration, reflecting the hustle & bustle of Liverpool’s urban-industrial mood & the introspective serenity of life."
</i></b><br /><br />Their 2023 <u>Marma</u> album is the best thing I've heard in a while. Here's a tune from that release. All I can recommend is check it out, buy it, support this great new band. </p><p> </p><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="332" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Sm00mQvwba0?si=nttbrVcspml8O1jT" title="YouTube video player" width="600"></iframe>

<br /><br />This Doris Day is a band from Linköping, Sweden, formed in 1989. It is the brainchild of Markus Gylling along with friends Lisa Carlioth, Brigid Raine, & Mike Barrett. Around this same time they had been making alternative soundtracks or, as they called them, "romantic interpretations" of some of their favorite 50s American movies. Lisa, already a promising singer, was used on some tracks, while the boys sang or toasted on others. The project went through numerous stops & starts until the autumn of 1996 when they released their debut full-length album <u>Live in Poland</u>. </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixP-CjMt1hW4Po9gUSsNQMjSuuq0DYytJ4tSt8a9jz1DJFPlcMxvmzgzcob_J7TKG9MDKWI2dMLpUuOXUNi3oQU1ykHkvMgKyEnupUEHtsquUXqPFhJ-qE-BuXc_6SRdhbEPeAxJJxEFgXcj1I20f6Q04d3TxOvG12ACBqriEhz8Vln0rjrnb92hksm_n7/s600/Live%20in%20Poland%20front.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixP-CjMt1hW4Po9gUSsNQMjSuuq0DYytJ4tSt8a9jz1DJFPlcMxvmzgzcob_J7TKG9MDKWI2dMLpUuOXUNi3oQU1ykHkvMgKyEnupUEHtsquUXqPFhJ-qE-BuXc_6SRdhbEPeAxJJxEFgXcj1I20f6Q04d3TxOvG12ACBqriEhz8Vln0rjrnb92hksm_n7/s600/Live%20in%20Poland%20front.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /><br />After six years in the band Cicada, Andrew wanted to explore other avenues in his own music journey. He decided to embarked on a new musical project. In 1998, Spraggon took a trip to Mexico, a country that had always held great fascination for him. The trip not only influenced his music, but also his decision about what to call his new project. He put together the Spanish words for rose-colored sun Sol & Rosa, then added the 'a' to make Sola as it flowed better off the tongue.
<br /><br />His version of Trip-hop is a quiet blend of New Zealand & Mexican influences that make it ideally unique.
<br /><br />About his music, Andrew sez:<br /> <b><i> "In the 80s I grew up with synth pop, then a lot of post-punk. Things took a turn in the 90s when my influences changed and I started to dig artists like Funkadelic, James Brown and Public Enemy. Shortly after this I discovered labels such as Ninja Tune, Mo' Wax, Guidance and a series of compilations called <u>Dope On Plastic</u>. I was also heavily influenced by producers like David Holmes, DJ Shadow and Howie B." </i></b></p><p><b><i> </i></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvsE1b6EfxnNdLD080l2_0wp5VoOdMOiNrG_gawsYlY4QmdhW1fKsQex_k1E-gmPMXIouG-xaaKFQn0imzTtMWqijnA_1gQXi2L3ewU0xtjwwNXHZUdoZkiM4JOxWKyCrq1q1SgfQMWCzpn1xx_5AGk2cWyCGOBiizx50mCDJ7f0YB2oym4jTvqPkSjaeA/s600/Haunted%20Out-takes%20front.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvsE1b6EfxnNdLD080l2_0wp5VoOdMOiNrG_gawsYlY4QmdhW1fKsQex_k1E-gmPMXIouG-xaaKFQn0imzTtMWqijnA_1gQXi2L3ewU0xtjwwNXHZUdoZkiM4JOxWKyCrq1q1SgfQMWCzpn1xx_5AGk2cWyCGOBiizx50mCDJ7f0YB2oym4jTvqPkSjaeA/s600/Haunted%20Out-takes%20front.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">
