Sci Fi Lo Fi 1
Soma
TECH HOUSE
Evolving from SOMA's hugely popular Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi mix series, now
comes SCI.FI.LO.Fi, a spin-off series dedicated to only the most uncanny organic music...
Paving the way is the legendary & Infamous, ANDREW WEATHERALL!
With well over 50 releases and literally hundreds of remixes under various guises, not forgetting his incredible production on 'Screamadelica', ANDREW WEATHERALL is an instantly recognisable name with a style to match, making him the perfect candidate to herald the Sci.Fi.Lo.Fi series. Weatherall brings with him his trademark psychabilly record box and provides a mix spanning several decades from the 50's up through the 80's to the present day. As he and KEITH TENNISWOOD issue an eagerly anticipated new TWO LONE SWORDSMEN album entitled 'Wrong Meeting', Andrew delivers this exclusive Sci.Fi.Lo.Fi mix to complement the new material.
Mixed entirely on vinyl, Weatherall puts together the songs that influenced the new TLS album. "It's a lot of the tracks I was listening to whilst making Wrong Meeting, & it's also kind of the first two hours of Wrong Meeting the club condensed into about an hour." he says. Be prepared for a musical journey through genres from northwest grease, punk & rock n roll to sixties psychadelica, post-punk & hard rock.
With artists such as GENE VINCENT, LINK WRAY, JOHNNY BURNETTE and THE STRANGELOVES' sensational 'I Want Candy', Weatherall looks back to some classics from the 50's and 60's & mixes these with more obscure numbers from the same generation such as the opening track, 'Rock n Roll Radio' from JOE BOOT AND THE FABULOUS WINDS. Progressing through the decades, there are some esoteric classics & exclusives from T REX, PRIMAL SCREAM & THE FALL as the mix kicks up some punky attitude. Concluding the album, Weatherall delivers a prime cut of his own. 'Feathers', from 2006's 'The Bullet Catcher's Apprentice', the 1st album under Andrew's own name = classic Weatherall at his best.
Andrew tells us, "Go to the past, but look to the future, don't get bogged down in the present. It's about distilling the essence, be it from the 50s or the present day." You almost definitely won't hear another CD like this all year. The CD comes with exclusive artwork from the mind of Andrew himself, brought to life by CRIMPTON FURY & THE HEADLESS TRUTH. Described as "B-movie sci-fi crossed with the sin and sleaze paperbacks of the 50's and 60's" the album is guaranteed to look as unique as it sounds.
