Dave Angel is fully into the Detroit sound, plus his dad is a musician and he has a full jazz background. He is a funny guy. He has been working on a new album after leaving Island. Angel has a new Internet-order mix-CD, Dave Angel 01 - for more info check the web site (I think it's www.trustthedj.com). This is from an interview late last year: He is recording an ambitious third album with live instrumentation, vocalists, and calibre guests such as Roy Ayers, George Clinton and New Zealander Mark D' Clive-Lowe. Angel intends it to be his definitive "future jazz" LP. "I've just been touring around the world," he says. "I've kinda taken a bit of a break from the studio, you know. I'm still working on the album - I've been working on it now for about two years. I've taken a break from it because I'm just not happy in the environment that I'm working in right now, so my studio's under construction right now - a whole new studio getting built - and I just feel a change is needed in terms of equipment and environment." Angel has already laid down music with Clinton and Ayers. His hook-up with Clinton was an experience, Dave says. "Crazy - bloody hard as well! I learnt a lot of things (laughs)... I learnt a lot of things. I learnt a lot of positive things - that's the only thing I can really tell ya!" By contrast, Dave describes Ayers as "a living genius - totally professional and just straight to the point." At any rate, Dave is in no rush to shop for a record deal for the album. "I haven't got anybody backing me or anything - I'm just doing this all by myself," he asserts. "I see it as my baby, and it's my project, funded by me - my time, my creation - and, really, I'd like to keep it that way for as long as I can." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
