Sabres and Force Tracks/Luomo meet on the new 'Hypercity' Force Tracks compilation CD which Weatherall has mixed. Good stuff it is too, very groovy, and Andy does the decent thing by letting the tracks run properly. Out next month I think.
Just finished listening to the new Chris McCormack album 'There Is A Better Way' on Potential (label owned by Ben Long of Space DJz) - jesus, what a debut! Unbelievable range, superb production, brilliant and very varied tracks (he even gets away with sampling seagulls, Randy Crawford and pan pipes) and just bursting with confidence. Y'all MUST check it out when it comes out at the end of May - satisfaction guaranteed. TOM > I'd say the comparison between Sabres of Paradise and BC/CR comes from the > dub roots of both efforts.
