nostalgic trip part 43 : sandals - rite to silence

hell.o

going retro today. my head demanded something familiar and welcome, something mellow, with dashings of spaced out dub, and woofer threatening skunk funk grooves by a rock band that like to stretch out a little.

so off i went to the archive and retrieved this 1994 lost classic by sandals, 'rites to silence'.
 
yes you may call it proto trip hop. but bloody good proto hip hop it is too.

leftfield and luke gordon assist the drugged up hipsters (i mean just look at that cover .. how fucking nonchalant can a band look !) to create a genuinely gorgeous laid back listen, aparently there is a lost album hidden in the record label vaults .. but too much red tape makes it impractical to get it onto the release schedule. arse.

if you see this in the bins for a couple of quid, then just give it a go instead of something a lot less interesting.
the album along with the 'cracked ep' are still within easy reach @ ireallylovemusic hq.
