| 1. The roots of Acid Jazz and the will be forever intertwined. Although originally a live band, led by bassist Hugh Brooker, they first came to public attention with the marvellous cut up single Open Channel D. This single, one of the first to use jazz based break beats, appeared just as the Acid Jazz phenomenon was sweeping through Londons club land in late 1987, becoming one of the early anthems of that scene. While working towards their first album the band would appear on Polydors Acid Jazz And Other illicit grooves compilation with Now We Have Rhythm, and on Acid Jazzs Totally Wired 2 with The Killer. By this time the band were once more a fully working live unit, often performing with legendary rapper Africa Bambata. Bambata featured on several tracks from their debut album Checkmate which was released on BGP in 1989. This album achieved cult status in Europe and widespread acclaim in Japan where the band toured on several occasions......See product image for track list |
