Cup Of Tea Records - A Compilation

Cup of Tea records were releasing quality tracks of slo-mo beat excursions and weirdelic sound collages in the time from 1995 to 1999. The label, founded by Pip Diaz, started with the release of "The Mudskipper EP" by a band called Junkwaffel, remixed by Bristol royalty Portishead. Leading up to this, Cup of Tea had created a name for itself by providing Bristol with the most upfront in club DJ's and bands, putting on everything from jungle to hip hop, from jazz-funk to dub. Strong releases on twelve's from Crustation, Purple Penguin, Spaceways, The Federation, Slick Sixty, Tammy Payne, Statik Sound System, Grantby, The Disciples, Mr. Scruff, Monk & Canatella cemented it's place in the annuals of trip hop.

File Servers

So i've had moaning, complaints and abuse about where i'm placing files, to such an extent i've had to put comment moderation on! so here is my explanation of why i use what i use...

Hotfile - Pretty unstable to upload onto, it takes well over an hour to upload an album and 70% of times HF will time out forcing me to restart and thus waste too much time. Imagine uploading to 99% of a 150mb file then it times out and i have to start again, i can get a wee bit irate! If it's a quiet time then HF is fine otherwise it's way too unstable. As an illustration, i've just spent 3 hours trying to upload onto hotfile, and it's now timed out again so thats 3 hours wasted, I nearly grabbed my monitor and launched it out the fucking window! I'll have a spliff and calm down :-)

Depositfiles - Offers an upload manager, meaning uploads will upload, albiet slowly. For this reason alone DF is the best. I can load a file into the manager and go away and live a life knowing it'll upload, eventually. I know for you, the downloader, DF is a pain in the arse as it times out sometimes, or runs slow, but they all do at certain times! However, the upload manager is also a dowmload manager, if you create a FREE account, install the manager then you can queue up your downloads and go away knowing you'll get them!

Mediafire, divshare, plunder whilst fine for single tracks, don't support large files well, some have a monthly space allowance which is way to small and others limit how much folk can download from my account per month etc etc So small files and single tracks will be put here, albums no.

Rapidshare, well these past few weeks rapidshare is having massive problems and the rumours are it won't be around much longer. Therefore there's no way i'm using RS only for it to dissappear next week, lose all the files on there and have to reupload elsewhere.

I've joined a few forums that discuss file uploaders, and am reading around so i'm becoming a bit of an expert on the whole subject, but basically all have their pro's and con's.

So, you have a few choices, download from here, put up with the occasional glitch and don't moan, pay for premium, or bugger off to Amazon and buy the album!

Amp Fiddler & Sly & Robbie - Inspiration Information 1

Detroit soul maverick Amp Fiddler in a head-to-head with reggae legends, Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare. "This is monumental for me," says Amp. "I discovered Sly & Robbie through their Compass Point productions with Wally Badarou, all the Grace Jones records, ‘Boops' too. I loved the way they experimented with a more ambient direction."

"Our manager Guillaume Bougard, "The General", told us about Amp," says Robbie. "We heard that he used to be part of the Funkadelic set-up." "We were always right into the Parlia-Funkadelic sound," recalls Sly. "Their brand of funk was so different. I loved it from their first record. Me and Bootsy Collins are good friends - he played on one of our albums - and I always loved Motown too, ever since I was a kid. That all brought us closer to Amp and the musical groove just stuck. We hit it off from the first session."

Arriving at Anchor Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, armed only with a handful of acoustic vocal ideas, Amp and the Riddim Twins recorded the album in just three days during June with overdubs laid down a week later in Detroit. "We work fast," says Robbie. "Time is money!" The result is a confident, laid back set that brings a whole new twist to Amp's trademark vocal style: Sly builds innovative digital and live rhythms, Robbie underpins the tracks with solid bass foundations and original generation guests "Sticky" Thompson (percussion) and Dalton Browne (guitar) add plenty of colour. Back in Detroit, Amp knitted together the finishing touches, adding extra keys and backing vocals.

The tracks are never predictable, at times echoing Sly & Robbie's ‘80s days with Island Records at Compass Point studios, at others structured around more mood-based keyboard pads and new patterns re-inventing the established dancehall template. "It's been amazing - the level of musicianship is sky high," explains Amp. "Sly & Robbie work so well together - everything has happened really smoothly." Within the sessions, the trio honed both new compositions and covers, including a pertinent re-work of a George Clinton-era classic, ‘Paint The White House Black' re-titled by Sly as ‘Black House'. They also revisited select tracks from Amp's ‘Waltz Of A Ghetto Fly' album from 2004, with Amp favourites like ‘I Believe In You' re-worked over a lilting reggae base. The album was mixed in London by another original Island Records studio regular, Godwin Logie, complete with extra dub versions of selected tracks worked live off the desk.

All album design inspired by some of the striking photography-led sleeves of the ‘70s on the Prestige and Blue Thumb labels. This album features images by leading US photographer Wonder Knack and is packaged in a deluxe digipak with a CD booklet documenting the sessions.

Horace Andy & Ashley Beedle - Inspiration Information 2

REPOST - The original post failed to upload onto HF correctly, it is now moved and fixed! Apologies to those folk who downloaded the original post, but why did no-one leave a comment? I could of fixed it a lot quicker...The server i'm using now offers an upload manager which theoretically means no more time outs and therefore no more cock ups.

The second in the new Inspiration Information studio album series on Strut pairs up Studio One reggae legend and Massive Attack collaborator Horace Andy with revered UK producer and remixer Ashley Beedle (X-Press 2 / Ballistic Brothers / Warbox / Black Science Orchestra) for a new and unique soundclash.

Recorded during an intensive five-day writing and recording session in London during 8th and 12th of September 2008, the album is a revelation for those that know and love Horace Andy's music as he stretches out lyrically on a series of wry, topical commentaries around brotherhood, love and the family, all rooted in his Rasta beliefs. On 'Seek It' and opening track 'When The Rain Falls', he advocates peace, positive education and the futility of violence: be good to one another, stop killing each other; the first single, 'Rasta Don't', is dedicated to all the vegetarians and takes a hilarious swipe at fast food culture over a heavy jump-up rhythm; and 'The Light' is a powerful, reflective praise track, banishing Lucifer and drawing strength from the Conquering Lion. Andy also voices two diverse covers, Bob Marley's plea for reconciliation, 'Hypocrites', and a new acoustic take on The Rolling Stones classic, 'Angie'.

The album represents a production landmark for Ashley Beedle. Although known primarily for his work with X-Press 2 and for his consistently excellent 4/4 remixes, reggae has formed a crucial part of his musical DNA since his early days running the North London Shock Sound System during the 80's. On this album, he draws on all of his diverse musical influences to create a collection of fresh roots fusions, ranging from dancehall to dubstep: "We created some demo backing tracks to run past Horace before the sessions but found ourselves stripping them back when we went into the studio proper we've tried to let the tracks breathe and allow Horace's voice to shine as much as possible". The album also features regular Ashley Beedle collaborator Mark Ralph and Bah Samba's Julian Bendall as guest musicians.

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas Read by Harry Dean Stanton

Beware dramatizations of unique literary works. Two years before critics pummelled the 1998 screen version of Hunter S. Thompson's tale of drug madness in Sin City, this audio rendition of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas brought the ugly story to life. Fans of the book might prefer this recording to the film since it preserves more of Thompson's high-octane narrative. With Jim Jarmusch and Harry Dean Stanton sharing the Thompson/Raoul Duke role, this CD brings to life some of the book's more shocking scenes, making all too real what was merely amusing on the page. It's smartly done, even bringing in guitarist (and Keith Richards sideman) Waddy Wachtel to recreate "Sympathy for the Devil."

FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS is an audio play, with backing music, based on Hunter S. Thompson's classic book. It was recorded to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the book's publishing. The musical background includes several classic rock songs referenced by the text.

Principal cast includes: Harry Dean Stanton (narrator); Jim Jarmusch (Duke); Maury Chaykin (Gonzo); George Segal (Dr. Bloomquist); Joan Cusack (Lucy); Jann Wenner (Rolling Stone Editor); Todd Snider (Hitchhiker); Harry Shearer (Cop At Flamingo Registration, Executive Director and Police Chief At D.A. Conference, Biker At Mint 400, Lacerda, Dwarf, Sound Equipment Man, Voices Of Nixon and Walter Cronkite); Buck Henry (Desk Clerk); Jimmy Buffett (Cop In Desert).

A theatre-of-the-mind, 25th anniversary audio version of Hunter Thompson's substance-fuelled journey into the savage heart of the American Dream, performed with obvious relish by a dream cast of counter-culture vets and latter-day hipsters. Among the stand outs: Harry Stanton as the dryly laconic narrator, down-town film-maker Jim Jarmusch as the Duke (Thompson's alter ego), Buck Henry as a sinister desk clerk, and Spinal Tap's Harry Shearer as a fatuous police chief. This was recorded before Terry Gilliam's 1998 film version with Johnny Depp, and in some ways it's even more faithful to its mad, visionary source material.

1. On the Road to Las Vegas
2. Strange Medicine in the Desert
3. Covering the Story/Ugliness Andf Failure
4. Night on the Town/Drug Frenzy at the Circus-Circus
5. Paranoid Terror/A Flashing of Knives and Green Water

The Wild Bunch - The Story Of A Sound System

Label: Strut
Catalog#: STRUTCD 019
Format: CD, Mixed, Compilation
Country: UK
Released: 2002
Genre: Electronic, Funk / Soul
Style: Electro, Disco

Before Bristol gave us Massive Attack and Tricky, there was The Wild Bunch; a legendary sound system that launched the careers of some of British dance music's most innovative producers. Throughout the 1980s, the Wild Bunch reigned supreme on the West Country free-party circuit, making names of its DJs and MCs, the likes of Daddy G (Massive Attack), Tricky and Madonna producer Nellee Hooper. With such illustrious alumni, it makes sense that the Wild Bunch sound should be recorded for posterity, and who better to do it than original spinner DJ Milo? He does an admirable job, too, mixing up a spot-on selection of old-skool electro, hip-hop and disco, with the odd smidgen of house and a few snippets of original Wild Bunch gigs thrown in for effect. It's the sort of set you can imagine rocking a Bristol block party back in the day, though the obvious lack of reggae and soul seems strange given the Bristol sound's massive debt to both genres. That said, the track listing is impressive and the mixing immaculate, leaving us in no doubt: there ain't no party like a Wild Bunch party

The Wild Bunch V Soul II Soul Soundsystem Live

The Wild Bunch V Soul II Soul Soundsystem Live on New Year's Eve 1987

"...Massive Attack's history goes back to 1983 and the Wild Bunch. The Wild Bunch were mid-'80s reggae, hip-hop and soul sound systemeers (sic), who mutated into Massive Attack. They formed around the scene that had developed at the Dug Out in 1982 or and comprised Miles Johnson, Nellee Hooper, Grant Marshall (Daddy G), Claude Williams (Wille Wee), Robert Del Naja (3D) (who joined later), and later still, Andrew Vowles (Mushroom). They were essentially an even looser collective than Massive Attack, and included anyone else who could be trusted to distribute flyers or sell a few cans of lager. One of the earliest and most successful sound system/DJ collectives in the UK, they rapidly made themselves a reputation for their mixing-up of styles and for their sound system parties, which became unmissable.

"Basically it was a reggae sound system," recalls Mushroom. "Everyone round the turntables, just taking turns on the mike." They started to DJ at the Dug Out, where Marshall was already established, every Wednesday, and became Bristol's first New York-style sound-system crew. Their performances at illegal parties, such as on the downs, where the police arrived to close them down, in 'abandoned warehouses like the Red House in St Paul's. at private parties, proper gigs like the Granary, or at St Paul's carnival - where they played till dawn - soon made them a legendary fixture of the Bristol scene, attracting a loyal following that mixed black hip-hop heads from St Paul's with Clifton trendies. The Wild Bunch would epitomise the sound (agglomation of hip-hop, rare groove, soul, reggae and rock influences) and organisation (loose affiliations of multi-media artists) of music groups in post hip-hop Britain despite only releasing one single during their five year lifespan. They are largely myth and legend to those who lived outside Bristol.

So if you want to hear to the sound of West London meeting Bristol on NYE in ‘87 then it probably doesn’t get much better than this for capturing the vibe..."

The Mighty Leeds

And a 'Fergie' time 96th minute penalty earns us a draw against Premiership opposition! and a replay back at Leeds...

Thom Yorke - The Eraser Remixes (1-3)

"...three digital EP's only available from Boomkat for a while, later made available on three limited 12"s sometime in early 2008. So how's about this for a lineup - Thom Yorke remixed by Burial, Modeselektor, Various Production, Cristian Vogel, Four Tet, The Field, Surgeon and The Bug?

A mouthwatering proposition, and the first of these three EP's opens with the mighty Burial remix, another shocking arrangement of impossibly squashed percussion and unknown samples weaved in an out of Thom Yorke's ever-so-delicately manipulated voice. It's predictably mighty, and worthy the cost of admission alone. Thom Yorke favourites Modeselektor are up next, their reworking of Skip Divided pitching down the vocals almost imperceptibly, harrowing strings adding structure while the beats link up as tight and nervous as ever. Various Production finish this first EP with a dubstep variation complete with stretched snares and grime progressions. Their production tends to shine around vocals, and this is one of their finest - edgy and oddly moving.

The second in this instalment features reinterpretations by Four Tet and Cristian Vogel. Given the fearsome line-up of artists tackling the source material, these guys are clearly keen to bring their A-game to the table, and certainly, this is the best remixing work Hebden's laid down for a good long while, subtly resculpting 'Atoms For Peace' with all surplus materials removed, reconfiguring the original around simple, shuffling acoustic drums, electric piano and of course, Yorke's vocal. Hebden shifts chord changes from major to minor at key moments, tampering with the mood of the piece and in so doing producing an uncommon emotional resonance - pretty difficult to pull off within the context of a remix. Cristian Vogel steps up next, with a resculpting of Black Swan. Vogel quite sensibly preserves the slippery bassline of the original, whilst processing the guitar parts and exchanging the beat for a swinging, hip hop-tinged crunch. Fittingly, Vogel's second remix erases the Yorke vocal altogether, instead bringing some finely worked beats to the table, peppered with clanging metallic echoes and a caustic technoid funk.

The final instalment sees Surgeon, The Bug and The Field get called up to put their own spin on the album. Taking on 'The Clock' Surgeon constructs a rigid electronic backbone of hard-edged techno beats and fizzing electronic treatments on the instruments used in the original. Importantly, the song never suffers, with the vocals holding together the structure while the machinery propels the narrative forward. The baton is passed on to The Bug for his reinterpretation of 'Harrowdown Hill', which is here contorted into a macabre half-stepping dancehall dirge. The bassline ruthlessly snakes around the lower end of the frequency range whilst the vocal shimmers with lightly distorted echo amongst surges of hiss and crackle. The tone switches again for The Field's remix, which jitters along with glitch-ridden, lolloping beats, while minuscule granular loops swish around, creating an underlying ambience..."

The Hot Rats - Turn On's

The Hot Rats, AKA Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey, have announced their debut album release, 'Turn Ons', in stores January 19th via Fat Possum Records in the US.

Having played triumphant sets on the festival circuit across the summer, the band are touring the US and it's seems only right that Gaz and Danny now have the stage to themselves to showcase their latest musical incarnation. Having been holed up in a studio with über producer Nigel Godrich for two weeks with little more than wine and cigarettes to keep them going, 'Turn Ons' is a collection of cover versions of their favourite rock songs from the last 40 years. With the instantly recognisable vocal talents of Coombes and the familiar pounding beats of Goffey, 'Turn Ons' is a veritable rock rampage via the likes of The Sex Pistols, The Kinks and Gang Of Four.

By definition, cover bands are typically looked down upon -- every town has one that knows the Jimmy Buffett catalog in and out -- but The Hot Rats are of a different caliber. Their whole schtick is essentially putting a Supergrassian twist -- or at times, sounding like the White Stripes -- on classic British artists, such as Pink Floyd's "Bike", the Kinks' "Big Sky" and the Beatles' "Drive My Car". But Gaz told the crowd that it wasn't really their intention to do anything with the songs they recorded for their debut, 'Turn Ons.'

"We made this record six months ago and we didn't expect it to turn into anything," he said. While some of the songs are instantly recognizable -- like their broody version of The Doors' "The Crystal Ship" and a relatively faster version of Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up" -- the Beastie Boys classic "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)" is something entirely different, leaving crowds wondering if what they heard was indeed what they just heard.

Pulp - Live at Glastonbury 1995

"...It was to be the comeback of the decade - The Stone Roses, second album, second coming, Glastonbury headliners. Like Spike Island, but bigger and better! Until John Squire bashed his collar bone during a mountain bike accident. Shock horror, the event of the decade was suddenly off. Step forward, Mr Jarvis Cocker and Pulp who jumped into the fray and took the main stage to pull off a simply magnificent set. Despite beer chucking from some disappointed baggy throwbacks in the audience (and the handicap of not having yet released the seminal album Different Class), Cocker had the crowd in the palm of his hand, particularly during the anthemic Common People. A Britpop-era defining moment. NME probably summed this show up the best when they proclaimed it the 67th best moment in rock history (see here). A truely seminal moment in Glastonbury history cited by Michael Eavis as his favourite performance of all time..."

The tunes that soundtrack this nostalgic trip include The Clash, Chris and Cosey, Primal Scream and of course some hand-picked Weatherall productions..."

Andy Weatherall - Sci Fi Lo Fi Promo Mix

"...As the name suggests Sci-Fi-Lo-Fi is an exploration into more organic forms of music while still keeping an off kilter edge that will keep fans of Weatherall's electronic side entertained.

Mixed entirely on vinyl, Weatherall describes his 'Sci-Fi-Lo-Fi' debut thus "The tracks on 'Sci-Fi-Lo-Fi' are a cross section of music I was listening to during the writing and recording of The Two Lone Swordsmen "Wrong Meetting" albums. Rock-a-billy and glam rock were my introduction to the Martian transmissions that still invade my brain. The tracks also represent some of the music I was playing at "Wrong Music", a monthly evening hosted by myself and Ivan Smagghe. In fact the idea for the compilation came from the good people at Soma after they heard a CD given away at the first night. They therefore have no one to blame but themselves..."

Don Letts - Presents The Mighty Trojan Sound

Label: Trojan Records
Catalog#: TJFTV 095
Country: UK
Released: 2003

Of the many possible introductions to legendary 1970s reggae imprint Trojan Records, this collection by influential West End DJ Don Letts--famous for introducing London's punks to Jamaican music--is one of the best, distilling the label's massive collection of seminal recordings to two flawless platters. Disc One covers vocal-roots material and Disc Two, presumably for later-in-the-evening spins, tackles dub; there isn't a dud track in the lot, and the best songs here, including the Maytals' classic "54 64 Was My Number" and Lee "Scratch" Perry & the Upsetters' "Return of Django", arguably represent the apex of Jamaican reggae.

These are the journeys of Coldcut, scientist of sound, primordial dancefloor hooligans and intrepid explorers of the realms of the Deep Groove. Matt Black and Jonathan More's epic ventures into turntable tricknology have spanned the many varied domains of dance, enticing generation after funky generation to do their own thing and get on the Left Foot. With the help of PC and Strictly Kev, Coldcut have prepared for you an exquisite 70 minute banquet for the taste-buds that live in your ears. This is not a mechanical mix of four-to-da-floor bland-bag house tracks-its style. It's more inspired by classic mix records such as Double D and Steinski's "Lessons (1-3)" and Grandmaster Flash's "Adventures on the Wheels of Steel", and derived from the mastermix tradition pioneered by DJ's such as Shep Pettibone on New Yorks' original Kiss FM. You are served a intensive mix of beatnological manipulation and melody, containing a selection of the many different terrains of todays' musical Soundscape. Step out of the dark and into the Night with the inspirational Illuminati of Hedfunk, taking you where few turntable terrorists dare to tread

Junior Murvin - Police & Thieves (Deluxe Edition)

"...After making his recording debut at the height of the Rock Steady era, Junior Murvin remained a peripheral figure on the Jamaican music industry until he teamed up with enigmatic producer, Lee 'Scratch' Perry in 1976. Their initial collaboration, 'Police And Thieves' became an international best-seller, the restrained, understated refrain providing a backdrop to the political violence blighting Kingston and the riots at London’s Notting Hill Carnival. The highly acclaimed album of the same name followed, but subsequent Island collections by the singer failed to materialise following Perry’s break down and destruction of his Black Ark studio.

Originally released to widespread acclaim in the spring of 1977, the 'Police And Thieves' album has since become regarded as one of the finest and most important Reggae collections of all-time. Recorded at Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s famed Black Ark studio in Kingston at a time when both singer and producer were at the peak of their creative powers, the LP caught the mood of the times, its themes of civil unrest and social injustice striking a chord on both sides of the Atlantic. Its significance in the history of Jamaican music is reflected in this 2CD deluxe edition, on which 21 pertinent vocal, Dub and instrumental Black Ark recordings from the period augment the original album’s ten tracks..."

DJ Shadow - Live in LA 31st Oct. 2009

"...Super limited release from the one and only DJ Shadow taken from a special one off Halloween show he played in 2009 in LA. Mixes up an eclectic bunch of tunes (all from vinyl) and the result is truly epic...blink and you'll miss this. DJ Shadow shows of his skills with this special Halloween mix that was made for KCRW Radio in the US. It's so very very limited, so getting in early will help ensure you get some. as the LA Times put it "what could be better than dancing to DJ Shadow, spinning live from a crate of vinyl in a small ballroom at LA's Park Plaza hotel with an almost full-moon pouring through the patio windows..."
