rhythm and sound w/the chosen brothers

Mash Down Babylon

Back in stock. Give thanks, with all due sense of timing, the Burial mix crew complete their latest 10" vinyl cycle, as the digital versions of the last seven are at last made available. And whilst the 'Singers' and 'Versions' full length sets have been pretty well glued into the cd tray for the last few weeks, there's always an extra special thrill when a fresh vinyl piece arrives from the Berlin control centre. And with an extra special significance here, as Mark and Mauritz reunite with Lloyd Barnes of the Wackies stable, echoing not only their awesome prior collaboration 'Making History', but also the extensive reissue and remastering programme they've convened for Bullwackies esteemed american catalogue. As for the tune, well, Barnes' voice rides sedate drum chops and submerged conga, while a horn section disconsolate beneath babylon system, points to a chilling lyrical call for unity against political iniquities, over the by now unmistakeable Rhythm & Sound bassline. In all, its another surefire fixture on the decks, yet another unreserved Burial Mix recommendation from these pages, immediate anthem material. Impossibly good - buy!
