A lovingly presented, outer-disciplinary collaboration featuring Ben Lancaster playing Moog, Sean Roche on saxophones, and visual artist Justin Hibbs. The music is a no-nonsense jazz stomper with Sun Ra running through its veins, and an eastern flavour; in two quite different arrangements.
A beautiful song, perfectly suited to BB’s sweetly soulful singing style.
Bunny Lee runnings, originally; with King Tubby at the controls for the first dub here.
Pure loveliness.
“This is killer,” says Ben UFO.
Lovely, mystical, incantatory, roots singing over a deep, knock-off-Rhythm-&-Sound rhythm.
Increasingly interested in making reggae, the Basic Channel duo first recorded with Tikiman in 1995, laying the foundations of Burial Mix.
With Tiki.
Besides Basic Channel and Maurizio, in 1994 Mark and Moritz set up Main Street, for song-oriented, vocal house. This first single whips an Isleys b-line, and features Londoner Andy Cunningham, plus a Chez n’ Trent.
With the Loose Lips MC in full flow, and complete with a Spinna house version. On percussion, Miguel Fuentes brings classic Philly vibes courtesy of the MFSB family.
With Tiki, wrapping up Main Street in 1999.
Bristolian singer Andy ‘Caine’ Cunningham was a big fan of Al Green.
Masterful Gregory from 1997, sounding spooked and hunted over a juddering, propulsive Music Works rhythm, fulgent and full-on, with deep, pounding bass, clattering percussion, parping horns, classy backing vocals and harp starbursts… top-notch Gussies.
Two extended vocal versions, and two dubs, all quite different.
Bimmety bim bim.
Full, bone-heavy horns, swirling organ and rocking nyabinghi drumming; and with a storming dub.
West London broken beat meets JA dancehall. A Co-op classic by this Bugz mainstay.
