From 1983, the same year as Jamming In The Street, his unmissable collaboration with Sugar Minott. Kicks off with a Queen Of The Minstrel excursion. Drifter is here, Late Night Blues, No More Will I Roam, Yo Yo, Real Rock. Sly & Robbie with the Aggrovators; Bunny Lee at the controls. Full-strength, body-rocking, early-eighties deejaying. It’s obvious why sounds like Black Scorpio and Kilimanjaro favoured him.
Free-flowing recordings made in Pakistan with members of the instrumental quartet Jaubi (including Zohaib Hassan Khan on sarangi).
Lovely new soul from Demae (aka Bubblerap, from hip hop crew Hawk House), with contributions from Fatima, Joe Armon-Jones, Ego Ella May and Nala Sinephro.
Fresh, personable and honest in the great tradition of London street soul, suffused with Dilla, Flying Lotus and the new UK jazz scene, this is warmly recommended. Check it out.
Gorgeous, open-hearted Detroit soul music from 1973.
Beautifully produced by Dee Ervin, with vocal accompaniments by Patti Hamilton from The Lovelites, Jean Plum and co.
Newly transferred from the original master tapes, and restored.
The CD adds the sides Hutton cut earlier for Blue Rock (where his collaborators included the genius likes of Donny Hathaway and Joshie Jo Armstead), and also his 7” follow-up to the LP: everything from 1969 to 1974 is here.
With Barry Guy and Tony Oxley in 1971. Gatefold sleeve.
Dub-plate-style Adrian Sherwood departures from the Midnight Rocker set.
Radical re-works, with interjections from Daddy Freddy and Lone Ranger; and stripped-back dubs. Plus some new stuff.
The soundtrack to the French TV series adapting Henri de Monfreid’s account of his travels in the Middle East. The music for the first series in 1967 features various flutes and marine conches; for underwater settings a celesta or a crystal xylophone. For the later 1975 series, de Roubaix composed a new music score, mixing old and new sounds, his EMS VCS3 synthesizer subtly mixed with acoustic instruments.
