Brain Damage meets Vibronics
"Empire soldiers"

Vibronics & Brain Damage teamed up and decided to come together around a concept, a narrative inspiration that will undoubtedly surprise: Anglo-Caribbean and Franco-African soldiers’ experience during the first world war. 
The academic historian, poet & songwriter, Madu Messenger, uses the product of years of study and research, to develop, within that very framework, a series of texts on some key topics such as travel, friendship, war and death. This project thus aims at offering a learning experience about this often little-known period of our history. 
It will draw troubling parallels with some more contemporary considerations on culture shocks, immigration, imperial powers and horrors of war that still affects all of us today. Following their reflection on this sensitive issue, the musicians of the project’s – all of many other origins, Anglo-French, Jamaican or Asian – move towards a cultural alignment, opposite to certain enslaving and communitarian models. 


SUFFERATION  w/PARVEZ


Sufferation we don’t need no more in Babylon

As Britain she stood with her back up against wall
The sons of old India came and would battle and fall.
In there thousands they went off to fight 
for duty they offered their lives
And many would never survive
like a mill grinding corn 
Many thousands now lost
Many thousands now gone
They suffered the pain, mental strain
As bombs fall like the monsoon rain
As brothers they stood side by side
A thin brown line sent to stem up the tide

Sufferation we don’t need no more in Babylon

In this time of the islamophobe
It’s a half that’a seldom is told
With the death in the mud and cold
They showed bravery, were steadfast and bold
Fighting for Europe to be free
But little is written down in history

Sufferation we don’t need no more in Babylon

With this new album of unreleased remixes, JARRING EFFECTS & HIGH TONE have prepared a series of surprises mostly enjoyable : Dub, Hip Hop, Electro, Drum'n'Bass, Breaks Beats, Jungle !!! At the crossroads of styles but never getting locked up into any. 

This opus (CD version) starts with REVERSE ENGINEERING with the remix of « Musical Bonzeye » (with BLU RUM 13/ONE SELF) where you can feel all the biorhythmic particularity of their music (already notable on their first album «Duck&Cover». 

Follow the throbbing basses of LE PEUPLE DE L'HERBE on « Echo-logik ». INTERLOPE, as for them, offer 5 remixes including 2 versions of « Head Line », with a heavy and powerful 100bpm electro breaks beat or a furious drum'N'breaks version faithful to the live performance. 

Two versions also for "Bad Weather", one remixed by HYBRID SOUND SYSTEM who juggles with syncopated rhythms, the other by L'OEUF RAIDE in a more down tempo approach, faithful to his latest album. A medley titled "High Stone" ends the compilation. Here is the proof that when human encounters are sincere, it does show in the end! High Tone remixed with elegance. 

High Tone - Dragonkat - Dehli katmandou Remix by Dragongaz

I first listened to this CD when I was in a jazzofunk - alternative bar in the Greek island Skyros. I asked the DJ about it and eventually heard the words "Zentone" and "Hightone". It didn't take much to locate the source of this dub diamond online..

Incredibly inspirational, dark, and atmospheric music, a fabulous combination of many different elements and influences. Words really can't describe.. If you like dub and electro vibes buy it without second thought! Those of you who don't, perhaps listen to tracks 1,2,3 and 9 and you will seriously consider getting it, it's a diamond!!!!
