Earthling - Radar (1995) [trip-hop]

Type: Album Label: Chrysalis/Cooltempo Release Date: 1995 Bitrate: 192kbps Now that a new Earthling album has been released, Insomniacs' Ball, let me expose you what is a brilliant debut by one of the lesser-known bands of the Bristol scene, Earthling. AT THIS ALBUM COLLABORATED EVEN GEOFF BARROW OF PORTISHEAD. If that attracts your attention... Be warned though: most of the songs lean towards hip-hop (some do have female vocals though, but the one who dominates is rapper Mau, who also collaborated with... Telepopmusik!), just like another forgotten Bristol band, Monk & Canatella, leaned towards rock and big beat... If you can get used to it, you may appreciate the rich-in-postmodern-ironies lyrics and especially the glorious arrangements, and how every song stands out with an idea. A five-star album (almost a concept album!) that could have reached the pantheon up there with Massive Attack and Portishead, if they had more publicity. Tracklisting: 1. 1st Transmission (6:52) 2. Ananda's Theme (3:09) 3. Nefisa (5:53) 4. I Still Love Albert Einstein (5:50) 5. Accident at Injured Strings (1:59) 6. Soup or No Soup (6:44) 7. God's Interlude (1:02) 8. Echo on My Mind (6:58) 9. Infinite M. (4:52) 10. Planet of the Apes (4:59) 11. By Means of Beams (5:04) 12. Freak, Freak (3:42) 13. I Could Just Die (5:00)

Thank You. Bristol in the 90s was as important as Manchester late 80s or London or Liverpool in the 60s. If the noughties were owt (not a very Bristolian word lol) to go by, I see a 90s revival approaching. The discos will be filled with BritPop and 90s chart rave music, with any luck though there will underground Trip Hop and Acid Jazz oasis's (oasi?) popping up. Looking 4word to checking this out, many thanks Villeroy
