Thanks for the feedback guys, thrilled you like it grouch, let's get chips on the promenade soon. Looking forward to your track.

Do you want to go to Harvest At Jimmy's? Your absolute fave is headlining.

Oh I know, and it's close to where I live too, but £85 is a bit steep for that lineup. Considering it though.

I just want to see Dhruv from Masterchef.

It's gutting because imagine all the decent acts they could get for the same money as they spend on SFG etc. Who headlined last year? It wasn't anyone good was it?

Blue Nile by Mulatu Astatke & The Heliocentrics

The Heliocentrics are a self-proclaimed 'psych jazz' group and Mulatu Astatke is the self-proclaimed 'ethio-jazz' inventor. Last year they were both invited to collaborate on number 3 in Strut Records' fabulous Inspiration Information series which has also seen appearances from the likes of Horance Andy and Tony Allen.

Blue Nile opens with scorched guitar arpeggios for a brief few bars, before Mulatu's piano and drums straight from the text-book that was written by The James Brown Band. Throughout the three minutes and twelve seconds that make up this track, the guitar line meanders like the eponymous river and strings pulsate like the locusts that occupy it's banks. As we continue our journey we are joined by all manner of synths, horns and harps, whose starlit twinkling welcome us back to the shores as the track finishes.

pretty good call grouch/tiang thing....pretty much the worse ever mulatu track i have listened to, but that means its still pretty great; the backing band sound like tortoise on a bad day, still, still, still, it is still insufferably catchy...

for the real mulatu vibe you are all gonna have to wait for ma CD...got a belter lined up...

nice one

My favourite Mulatu is probably The Way To Nice from Mulatu Steps Ahead. Sounds like the kind of thing that would soundtrack James Bond if it was made in a distant jungle.

What's confusing you Sowerbz?

BITTE can you rate mine before grouchland's, lush as **** isn't really an official rating, neither is "a nice chillie dip" but that's hoppo isnt it.

OK.
I read on the video descrip that it was based around samples (mmmmm) and that made me go mmmmm, seeing as I love The Go! Team, Girl Talk, The Avalanches, and have a fondness for Department of Eagles and The Bran Flakes, SO...
I listened again, and it was easier on the ears, and a tad more interesting than the first listen. It coulda been a bit 'fuller', with more orchestration maybe, but, the horns ARE LUSH AS F*CK, and the vocalist is nice too, SO...
7.5/10

he's obvs a big Scouting fan.

BITTEORCA'S PICK - I like Ariel very much anyway and Scared Famous used to be my favourite album of his until his recent wonderful new one arrived on the scene, so a song from that album will always be a winner to me. BEST SONG OF THE WEEK SO FAR, WELL DONE XXX. 8.9/10

BEEROSE'S PICK - Nice song but I just can't imagine myself ever listening to it again. Whilst it was on it was fine and I was tapping my foot and stuff but it didn't make me want to download more or listen again or owt. 6.3/10

GROUCHLAND'S PICK - First listen I was a little underwhelmed but it slowly works its way in and I really like it now. Will probably check out an album or something by these guys at some point. 7.5/10
