Message from Robin Key: My old band mate Bill Stair from the Art Objects/ Blue Aeroplanes has passed away, he was a genius bass player with a unique style. He moved from Bristol to live for a long time in New York where he played with numerous bands/artists including the Nervous Kind, Nyack and David Bowie. For the last few years Bill and Doreen lived in Mexico. Rest in peace Bill and Doreen Stair.

We cut this record in December to release in April for Record Store Day 2015! Look what finally landed on my desk today – unbelievable but we got there in the end!

A message from one of our partners Richard Jones at Tangent Books – please take a look and support:
Thought you might be interested in this, with the music connection…

I’m asking people with a connection to Tangent Books and an interest in words and art to support a crowdfunding campaign for the reprint of Catacombs of Terror! by Radiohead artist Stanley Donwood.

Essentially it’s a means of pre-ordering this first edition or choosing one of the other rewards.

You can make a pledge by following the link below. Please share on social media and take a look at the video, I think you’ll like it.

If you’re interested, here’s a bit more about the background to the new edition.

Those of you familiar with Stanley Donwood’s work will know that he’s a genius when it comes to packaging – in 2002, Donwood and Thom Yorke won a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package for the Special Edition for the Radiohead album Amnesiac.

In his first book with Tangent, Slowly Downward, my colleague Steve Faragher arranged to print the endpapers on an opaque paper stock, the idea being that the image faded slightly from front to back. It kinda worked. But it took two weeks for the endpapers to dry at the printers.

In Household Worms, Donwood wanted to create an ‘invisible’ book, so we debossed the cover ever so slightly and printed the book the Old Penguin B format size so it could easily slip into a jacket pocket. The idea was that the book would feel slightly worn, as though it had always been in the pocket, that it was ‘invisible.’ Try it, it works.

Also the book is thread sewn, so when it eventully falls apart, it will do so in sections – each one containing a number of complete short stories.
Catacombs of Terror! is the opposite of Household Worms. It’s big and brash, an airport novel. Donwood commissioned Chris Hopewell from Jacknife in Bristol to design the cover because of his expertise and deep knowledge of pulp fiction art. It’s a wonderful piece of work based on the fonts and motifs of the 1950s pulp fiction genre.

We discussed various options to complete the ‘package’ and came up with a little-used technique called edge colouring, it’s most commonly used on diaries and hymn books where the outer edges of the folios are coloured (usually gold). We’ve looked at samples and if we can get the right effect, the result will be stunning…

Please encourage others to pledge and share.

We are chuffed to get this release on the catalogue coupled with the fact that Rhythmites have reformed and back playing Festivals this summer. More news soon:
‘INTEGRATION’
RHYTHMITES
Released on CD and Digital Download 18th September 2015

Originally formed in the mid-eighties, Bath based reggae outfit Rhythmites spent more than a decade gigging throughout the UK and Europe, building up a loyal fan base and a strong reputation as the West Country’s leading proponents of live roots reggae. Although their catalogue wasn’t excessively large, they did manage to record and release a couple of cassettes, a 12” single and most memorably in 1989, a very well received vinyl only album, “Integration”.
Rhythmites split up in the year 2000 but in 2007, they picked up where they’d left off and once more began spreading the roots reggae message at live shows as well as recording new material. With all the renewed activity, many fans both old and new have been asking about “Integration”, an album released only on vinyl more than twenty five years ago, long deleted and not readily available on the used market.
As chance would have it, Rhythmites and their music were already on the Bristol Archive Records radar so; when they mentioned the possibility of reissuing “Integration” we were very happy to be of assistance. We discovered that the band had never been entirely happy with the original mix and wanted to remix the album with the benefit of twenty first century facilities. Remixes can be a bad thing but as someone who saw the band perform many times and bought “Integration” on release, I was blown away by the new mix. Not only have they remained totally faithful to the original with no badly judged attempts to update the sound, but engineer Ben Findley has totally nailed it with the new mix; it takes the original to another level, improving it whilst maintaining the spirit of the vinyl pressing.
For those that aren’t familiar with the band this is a roots album, the songs deal with living one’s life in a better way. The sound is authentic and not in any way contrived, in no small part due to Angus’ excellent and distinctive vocals which really fit both the music and the lyrics. Anyone who has seen them perform live will know about Stuart’s didgeridoo and that makes an appearance right from the start in “No Guns”, a song that suggests it doesn’t take weapons and violence to be a freedom fighter.
Other stand out tracks includes “Nation Integration” with its call for unity, and “Pain and Suffering” which shines a light on some of the ills of the world. The rest of the tracks all deal with serious issues although, “A True” and “Hold On” drift into what was, when recorded, a more contemporary almost dancehall style. As a bonus we’ve included brand new exclusive dub versions for “Heed No Dream” and “A True”.
It’s great that one of the best live reggae bands of the late eighties and nineties are back on the road, as is the fact that their first album is getting a long overdue reissue, the fact that it’s sounding better than ever is the real bonus. “Integration” by Rhythmites is released on CD and digital download by Bristol Archive Records on the 18th September 2015, available from all usual outlets.
