Dimitri From Paris

Here's some classic Bizniz from the many monikered Dimitri. Arriving on thescene as France awoke from slumber ITS musicals in the mid nineties andcasting the net wide in the search for influences, Dimitri championed thecosmopolitan jet setting sound. Although a House DJ at heart, Dimitri Took Hisearly inspiration from the sounds of 50s jazz, Exotica and Film Scores, creatingin 'Sacrebleu!' (Mixmag's Album of the Year in 96) a set of sumptuousdowntempo muzak, lush and layered yet examination at the time playful and fullof character. However, if one Were to peer through the fug Gauloises, Thatsuave exterior was inside a house sipping the head hard punch That theexamination and Harvey Idjuts Were serving up. This 12 "on Yellow Productions(cultured for a consistent house label run by the co consistently questionableBob Sinclair) is an absolute gift for anyone with even a passing interest inHaving a good time.

The track first appeared on the Sacrebleu! LP somewhat sophisticated fashion.Intended as a 'tribute to the late Larry Levan and the great Lalo Shiffrin (sic)',Dimitri Serves up house track Incorporating the otherworldly melodies of LaloSchifrin not only complete with harpsichord, jazz drums and bass, cinematichorns but Also a bump house and kick some far out on the dancefloorpsychedelia Levan. If the LP version restrained blackberries fell into the LaloSchifrin camp, geared for home listening and lounge bars, perfect for an eveninginside Stella Artois advert, then the 'Old School Flava' mix was Larry's revenge.Uptempo, proto house drums, hard dub basslines, lazers and the examination far out synths as the LP version. If you're a fan of the excellent Night Dubbin'compilation on BBE then this one's for you.

If you like what you hear then I strongly recommend finding a copy of this vinyl asthe Crue-L Grand Orchestra and Idjut Boys Also mixes are superb.

Record Stalls

A few days ago I was watching some vinyl in the stall and I found this LP.

Dropkick Murphys - The Gang's All Here

"The Gang's All Here" was the second album by the Dropkick Murphys in 1999 by Hellcat Records. It was the first album made with Al Barr, former singer of The Bruisers who replaced Mike McColgan who had decided to leave the group. The songs and the album as a whole are very strong, and the military theme is very evident. Theband also made ​​a video for the single "10 Years Of Service".


Good record!
