BLOSSOMING...


Picked-up this lovely little 7 inch from new label Blossoms Kitchen, featuring two tunes from Madtone. I have no idea who any of the people involved are, but the contact details are clearly stated on the label, for anyone who feels inclined to communicate with them. Side 1 "Dark Dread" is the killer - a slow-burnin' dub mantra with eerie vocoder'd vocals...the sort of thing that really should be at least 10 minutes long, but this format doesn't permit such a thing. "Emerald" on the flip is more of a downtempo breakbeat thing, with odd tuneless electronic hums and warbles floating over the groove. But how did I find out about this record? What convinced me to part with my hard-earned cash to obtain a copy?

John Eden's "RSI Radio" of course!

Podcasts by bloggers sell records, official. Speaking of which...
