wilmot meets lord scruffage


"Wilmot" (Sabres of Paradise, 1994) ties back to those things that make up indispensable parts of london's past. stretch via the melancholy of dub syndicate and on-u sound, to horace andy, eek-a-mouse, soundsystem culture in ladbroke grove and lewisham, to calypso out of broken transistors in council flat kitchens, and you've tapped the pulse on the heritage running through this city. "wilmot" is the summary, the logical conclusion – 70 years of music history merged into one track, older than your granddad! 1994 to posterity: "Wilmot" was, and is, the shit.
and, geesh, that track by Shantel - "Bucovina", when given the Haaksman & Haaksman Soca Bogle treatment, is rather nice too!
