Thanks for all 'listening ears'

'The new “fragrant” collection covers ambient-washed conscious rap – hip-hop-influenced, sample-saturated selections, busy with horns and Blaxploitation boogie licks. Jive collages of `50s radio and movie dialogue. There’s sexy latin jazz syncopation and out there orchestration........Theme From A Tall Dark Stranger, originally recorded by Brenda, with The Beachballs, in 1986, makes a Return, in a beefed-up reading. Hypnotic, conga`d, tabla`d, kinda new beat clanking beneath its melodica and dubwise echo. There’s dramatic ZTT-esque disco drama, and happy, loved-up, pop house....... “Put joy in your heart".......'

'Applying a distinctly dubwise experimental approach to these burgeoning genres along with her characteristic pop sensibility the results are nothing short of spectacular ranging from the hazy melodica led blissed out dub epic 'Return Of Theme From A Tall Dark Stranger' to the bass thumping proto-hip hop of 'Dancehall Exocet' to the heartbreakingly beautiful dub smudged house of 'Spirit's So High.' As you can imagine there's a wealth of riches to be enjoyed here..........."

'This collection of ten very classy sounding Balearic pop songs actually consists of unreleased material from 1989-1991, a fact you'd never have guessed from merely listening to it. Brenda is a UK based singer and producer, and during the 80s frontperson of Brenda and the Beachballs (whose 'Theme From A Tall Dark Stranger' makes a return in a new form here), and the palate of influences does revolve around the best the decade had to offer.......
........exquisite listening that doesn't let its sophistication distract from a gentle sense of adventure and charm'

Stuart “Chuggy” Leath’s excellent experiment in record archaeology comes up trumps yet again, bringing this collection of previously unreleased material to a vinyl record in a shop near you! For those of you familiar with Brenda Ray’s work, from her now highly sought after classic mini-LP as Brenda And The Beachballs, too her two fabulous, more recent releases on Manchester’s Aficionado Recordings, you will know what to expect here. For those of you not already hip to the joy of Brenda’s music, it might be quite hard to put into words. Imagine, if you will, a sort of experimental, electronic, house-meets-bossa-nova-dub-pop. Something like A.R. Kane, meets It’s Immaterial, with a bit of Augustus Pablo thrown in. It really is a weird and wonderful, and totally original body of work, all recorded between 1989-91 in her home studio in the North West of England.
