[Verse 1]
The good old days, he’d bring ‘em back
Divide and rule, he knew, would make us crack
We were in trenches before we knew it
Shooting at each other
Now all is in ruins
Now all is in ruins

[Chorus]
Let’s come together right now
Oh yeah, in sweet harmony
Let’s come together right now
Oh yeah, in sweet harmony
Let’s come together

[Verse 2]
He made us think we were supreme
Fear mongering, he knew, would make us mean
Neighbors became targets just within days
Now we try to forget
We all have our ways
We all have our ways

[Chorus]
Let’s come together right now
Oh yeah, in sweet harmony
Let’s come together right now
Oh yeah, in sweet harmony
Let’s come together

[Bridge]
Let’s come together
Oh yeah, in sweet harmony
Let’s come together
Let’s come together right now
Oh yeah, in sweet harmony
Let’s come together

[Outro]
History repeats itself
We’re stowaways in a doomed orbit
We can’t help it
History repeats itself
We’re stowaways in a doomed orbit
We can’t help it

Sweet Harmony

Here's a remix we did of Crazy P's rather brilliant 'Lady T' track a good while ago.  This didn't ever get released in the end, so a perfect one to sneak out on Soundcloud to get a bit of fresh air...

Herman Prime’s debut 12”, “Maajo” is a beautiful ode to spring and new birth. "Maajo" pays homage to Nigerian music, with its borrowed vocals from juju style’s King “Sunny” Ade. The track has a house foundation, which shows in its fat kick drums and sub bass groove, while the hypnotic Rhodes melody harkens to early minimal electronic pioneers such as Manuel Göttsching.

The B-side, “Maajo (Take Four)”, is a track of its own, a mutant revision of the emotional original. This version is not just a slightly altered copy but an electronic dub that takes the original to a completely different direction. Talking drums and a polyrhythm structure maintain the dreamy, Nigerian feel, but the dystopic, detuned synths have the scent of an underground techno bunker.

Jon Thureson, alias Herman Prime, has been open-mindedly DJing and producing music for 15 years. He has a broad understanding of musical language which helps him to infuse his various influences. With his strong background in house and disco, Jon often reaches beyond the limits of both genres towards new frontiers. His love affair with West African styles and electronic Krautrock shows on “Maajo”.

Seagull Records is a spin-off from disco rework factory Kojak Giant Sounds and “Maajo” is a slightly moodier and housier departure from the labels usual repertoire.

Herman Prime - "Maajo" (Take One)

Human Animal

Riccarton Junction drifts through a remote corner of the Liddel Valley, where the remnants of a once-busy border settlement lie quietly beneath pine and silence. This spoken word piece traces the journey north from Saughtree Fell to the ghostly clearing where Riccarton once connected lives, steel, and stories. The track moves slowly, like breath through mist, shaped by soft rhythms, field-like textures, and a voice that emerges then fades again — like footsteps on forgotten ballast.

The Sweetest Pain (OOFT! Edit)

Ahead of my gig at the Jazz Cafe, I thought i'd make Mother Theresa available as a free download until 25th August. Recorded in Havana, Cuba 2015 and released as part of the Highlife World Series pt 1  :)

"The highlight for us is Auntie Flo’s ‘Mother Theresa’, a lazy track with a free-flowing melody. Subdued compared to the others on the EP, the smoky jazz influence is unexpected, with a wandering trumpet introducing itself halfway through. As the track’s soft pads and percussive textures build, you’re caught up in the spiralling solo and the track’s brassy crescendo."
