Having helped establish Ollie Jacobs' Memphis Industries imprint as a purveyor of outstanding cinematica, Andy Dragazis followed his widely licensed Nothing Changes Under the Sun debut with a second long-player effort for none other than XL. The resultant 12 tracks are nothing short of astonishing, with Ty Bulmer adding a final vocal flourish to some magnificent music. Lazy labeling is best left alone, as Dragazis has succeeded in creating something of his own, as far from the widely prescribed but hard to pin down "chill-out" tag as it could be, a place where studio-tech trickery and earthly instrumentation collide with what is best described as cinematic majesty. ~ Kingsley Marshall
Man Mountain sees a more melodic and song driven approach from Andy 'Blue States' Dragazis. The album also features several tracks co-written by Blue States live vocalist Ty Bulmer. From the perfect pop melancholia of 'Only Today' to the psychedelic swirl of 'Colouration', Man Mountain is another breathtaking work of unspoken longing and romantic nostalgia. Eighteenth Street Lounge Music. 2002.

In 1989, producer and veteran vocalist Derrick Morgan took DJs Tony Rebel and Little Bimbo into the studio and recorded a split album. He changed the course of Jamaican music when he convinced the latter artist to have a go at singing a few numbers. The following year, Bimbo inked a contract with Steely & Clevie and they gave him a new name, Garnett Silk, but not the album they promised. That sat on the shelf, and, disgusted, the newly christened artist withdrew from the music scene. Of course, Silk returned with a vengeance, garnering his first hit in 1992 under the aegis of Bobby Digital. It wasn't until 1994 that Steely & Clevie finally got around to releasing the set they'd been sitting on, and when it appeared, Love Is the Answer soared up the chart. The fabulous devotional title track was a huge hit, one of Silk's best, and was followed by "Fight Back," which the pair did not produce but appears here in an even more ferocious remix that they did oversee. That number paired Silk with Richie Stephens to phenomenal effect across an adamant, soulful refusal to give in to life's travails. The lovelorn "Used to Be My Girl" brings the singer together with DJ Supervisor, with both men lamenting the loss of their girls. Less successful is "Friends and Lover" that unites Silk with Sharon Forrester. But that is just the beginning of some of the set's difficulties. In those early days, the singer was still in need of guidance, but instead he got producers whose attention was obviously elsewhere, at least part of the time. Left to his own devices, Silk experimented with a variety of vocal styles, from emotive soul, R&B, dancehall, and even lighter ...

RELIEF AS AUSSIE ARTIST RELEASES DEBUT ALBUMPress release 15 Jan 07 A small crowd of musicians, industry bludgers, and international guests gathered yesterday to celebrate the launch of Red Dirt Road, Brisbane-based singer songwriter Naomi Sunderland’s debut album. The album, released early January 2007 on the Coffee Bean Records independent label in Brisbane Australia, is receiving airplay on Inverell Radio 2NZ, Belgian web radio Golden Flash, and is soon to be launched on Slovenian national radio. Musicians and engineers involved in the album are reportedly relieved the project is finally over. Album producer Phil Graham called Naomi “the Lucille Ball of recording”, saying it would be “years” before the costs of studio damage can be recouped.“Every week we had to replace something or other just because someone let her near the equipment. Her feet are terminally attracted to anything expensive and fragile. It has all been very stressful. “The incident that most stands out to me is when she sucked up an expensive pair of headphones into a high-powered vacuum cleaner. ...
