Pirate in the Dark
Tin Machine, Sasha, Slowdive, Toots and The Maytals, Ini Kamoze, Funkdoobiest, and G3
“It accomplished exactly what it was supposed to do, which was bring me back to my absolute roots and set me back on the right course of what I do best” - David Bowie about his band Tin Machine
Music On Vinyl gives Tin Machine II, one of the great lost albums, its first vinyl re-release since the 1991 original. Sasha's Airdrawndagger, is considered as a masterpiece in the electronic music scene, while Funkdoobiest's Brothas Doobie contains their famous and controversial track "Superhoes". We also have two brand new “Selected Reggae Classics”, by Toots & The Maytals and Ini Kamoze. Live in Tokyo is recorded during the 2005 G3 tour, featuring Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and (Dream Theater's) John Petrucci. Another wonderful release this week is by Slowdive, their immense shoegaze debut album Just For A Day. Finally, we have the wonderful transparent pink version of Rock Of Ages.
All the material on Ini Kamoze's Pirate is delivered at an assuredly consistent mid-tempo / head-noddin' pace, and that - along with Kamoze's distinctive mantric-like voice - becomes quite trance-inducing over the course of an entire album.
