Federation produced an album for Mo'Wax called 'Flower To the Sun' ...which
was a rather noodly a-j affair. Next they signed up to Indochina and did
another album (can't remember the name..haven't heard it). Now they are
signed to Cup of Tea records and have just produced a rather brilliant new
album called 'Headspinz'. I must admit that it's made me totally re-think
Federation as a band... I'd given them up for dead before. The new one's
kinda dark and abstract, but still maintains good vocals and rapping. Very
unique sounding. BTW one of the main guys, Si John, also plays bass for Roni
Size's Reprazent project.
BTW for anyone interested in AIR (the band), I've just completed an
interview with them for Fly!....keep a look out.
Just got hold of the new Portishead album and I love it...nothing
particularly new but, hey, if it ain't broke, why fix it?
peace,
