Compost 049 "Mellodramatic Remixed"
If you still have in mind the full hour of wonderfully, well produced melancholic A Forest Mighty Black album "Mellowdramatic", here is the remix version out now.
You still have that mixed up elements of various styles like drum & bass, hip hop-big beat, jazz and bits and pieces of Latin and Brazilian music. Flavoured with unique and refreshing vibes by following artists:
Rollercone (5 Star Galaxy) from Switzerland and regular guest DJ at Londons Blue Note club, Deborah Quinoa, singer of the band Marnie from Austin, Texas, which already released two brilliant 10inches on Sinistral (Sublabel of 4AD), and Karma (Groove Attack), well-known for their track "Highpriestess" and their former projects Einzelgänger and Doppelgänger. The Beanfield guys are again outstanding with this cutting-beat monster (Watch out for Twink releases coming soon on Compost). There are also Hacienda who have recently released their second album on Infracom. AFMB just did a nice remix of "Flanell Sunset" for Hacienda, out on Infracom, too. The ever groovy and Latin-tinged Freakniks did a remix exchange, too, so listen to this and watch out for the AFMB remix on their famous label Scenario, UK. And there is an extra-bonus track on the "Mellodramatic Remixed"-CD by AFMB called "Serpentines". The Peshay & Flytronix remix which was already released on a 12" on Compost, but we decide to couple it here again (for those who missed it!) and this remix is still a drum & bass clubsmash with its horn-licks and nearly a classic in a typical musical Peshay style!
After releasing four 12" and their first album "Mellowdramatic" on Compost and appearing on many well known compilations like "Strip Oop!" (Irma), "Explorations" (Ubiquity), "Groovin´High Vol.1" (Stepping Stone), "The Wonderful World Of Acid Jazz" (SPV), "Totally Wired" (Acid Jazz), "Acid Jazz" (New Sounds), "Jungle Strut" (Flying Records), "Street Jazz - London Kills Me Vol.1", (Passion Music) and "Future Groove" (BMG) the famous Freiburg-based Brazil-fusion project A FOREST MIGHTY BLACK are here with this funky, fresh and uptight remix compilation album. Check out the AFMB remix for U.F.O. s "Loud Minority" on Brownswood/Japan.
