Lion Head
Recordings presents it's first collection of tracks compiled by founder
Glyn "Bigga" Bush, featuring his musical projects old and
new as a taster for the label, along with some rare and previously unreleased
tracks. These include the classic batucada remix of Ella Fitzgerald's
"Sunshine of Your Love"; a previously unreleased collaboration
with Farda P, "Going Over"; Bigga's first foray into dubstep,
"Sounds & Blues"; the ambient "guitar" version
of Rockers Hi Fi's "Push Push" plus a tune from that outfit's
1992 debut album "Rockers to Rockers", entitled "More
and More", plus more BiggaBush productions and collaborations.
Feedback
on this release:
Bigga Bushs
label never fails to deliver and this compilation is packed with sure
fire crowd pleasers. Love
it. Tim Love Lee, Boy Scout Recordings
Yes man!
Crucial tracks abound on the Lionhead Compilation.
Some greats getting spins and radio plays with me currently include
"East Africa Dub Stylee" -- wicked sounds and rhythms there,
and "Sick State," one of the best Afrobeat/Afropop inspired
tracks I've heard in a while. And god, the acoustic "Push Push"
version is absolute magic. Basically this comp is all killer no filler,
an amazing 12 track journey around the globe with dub and bass as your
guide and heartbeat pulse. Tomas Palermo, XLR8R
