Name: Curbar Redux - featuring trumpet by brass-lines by Saul_Freeman
Duration: 5 min 43 s
Description: Featuring trumpet improvisation by the very wonderful Brass-lines.

thank you, Saul, for inviting me to play on this awesome track. It was a great pleasure for me to contribute trumpet-sound to it.I love the way you processed the brass!!!

Love the simple intriciate musical tones that make this a very nice original piece.

beautiful collaboration ! Sheffield seems to be a great place for experimental/ambiant music

Great balance between tension and release. Love how it slowly builds up.

@genomic_sequence: I had to translate that as I am ashamed to say I have no German at all! Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

If you like this hidden gem by a master then please tweet it, FB etc or re-stream on SC as I think there are many Cocteaus fans that will want to hear this.

A tweet recently from someone talking about the magnificent Cocteau Twins made me think of this remix that Robin Guthrie did for me and Nicola back when we were Mandalay. I thought I really should put this up on SC. Robin is a really lovely bloke and hanging out with him at the Cocteau's September Sound studios by the river Thames whilst he worked on this fantastic version of our song is something I will always remember with a kind of "did that really happen?" sort of feeling. We just kept thinking "it sounds like the Cocteau Twins - oh my god! Can we stay here please?"

A song built around a vocal stem by Zefora. When I first discovered Zefora on SC  my immediate thoughts were 'I would love to work with her vocals, I then discovered that she had posted a number of vocal stems. I down loaded a selection and got to work. This is this result.
Thanks for making them available it has been an enjoyable, challenging and creative experience.
You can hear more of her wonderful music here: @Zefora  
Enjoy

meshmass assumes the greeks are being punishedfor displaying insufficient zeal in capitalistic self-exploitation and failing to honour the gods of neo-liberalism. meshmass accepts that the greeks have been kidnapped as a nation and held to ransom and that they must borrow the money from their kidnappers at extortionate interest in order to buy themselves back into a life of debt and servitude. this improvisation is not strictly relevant.

In the early 1990s I was half of the duo Thieves with the extraordinarily talented David McAlmont (who went on to have a couple of magnificent hits with Bernard Butler after he left Suede). We were signed to Virgin Records and found ourselves in the clutches of the inevitable advance-chasing dodgy managers and of course it all went hideously wrong before the release of our debut album. Years later when we could talk to one another without the interference of vested interests around us, we realised we really did like each other and had no idea why we allowed ourselves to be manipulated to such a degree. Youth, eh?

After Thieves I formed the duo Mandalay with Nicola Hitchcock. We released 3 albums for V2 records in the 1990s till we called it a day in 2001. We were lucky enough to work with such stellar talents and lovely people as Steve Jansen (yep, from Japan), Jon Hassell, Guy Sigsworth, Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) and the legendary Danny Thompson. Mandalay got lots of favourable attention from the music press and fellow artists and we got to play alongside people like Moby and Nitin Sawney. In the US we even sold a fair few albums and our songs featured on programmes like 6 Feet Under, CSI, La Femme Nikita etc. Madonna called us her favourite band of 2001 - that may have been the beginning of the end for us.

After Mandalay I went on to write music for TV, film and adverts before eventually drifting away from music for nearly 9 years. In 2013 I started making music again.
