20th Century Ambient Drum And Bass Electronic / Experimental / Industrial Industrial Rhythm Techno Trip Hop, Breaks, Dub, World-Fusion (Very) Alternative Contact |
Scotland's Sushil Dade (aka Future Pilot Aka) collaborates with a series of musicians including Orange Juice's James Kirk, Alan Vega and Brix Smith, on this double disc debut of Scanner's new Sulphur label (Sulfur in the US). Multi-instrumentalist Dade has been a Soup Dragon and a BMX Bandit, and now his indie-meets-dance ideas take influences from trip hop, dub and World-fusion. Dade does the Indian-funk thing with an Ashe Boshle vocal sample and a group of neighbourhood kids singing "We Shall Overcome," for a track he calls "World Wide Web." And with Andy Weatherall's Two Lone Swordsmen he produces the very cool opening to this collection, the Ennio Morricone-ish spaghetti western-style trip hop track, "The Gates To Film City." What holds all the styles together is the element of psychedelia, as he delves into psych-pop with arch eccentric Kim Fowley on "Night Flight To Memphis," and spaced-out dub with Cornershop in "Teri Mitti Bani." And from the guitar side there is his trippy, dubby cover of Red Crayola's "Hurricane Fighter Plane" with The Pastels. tracklisting: |
