I definitely agree with you about Horace Andy - I saw Massive in Brussells
and thought although it was a good concert, very loud, and crafted music,
it was the type of concert you could of closed your eyes to - rather than
the vibe coming from the characters on stage (3D & Daddy G came on sang
there bits, said merci after each track and walked off). Horace Andy was
something else - truly a unique voice and he looked as though he was diggin
the whole thing.
I just got a copy of the 10" 'Lonely Woman' by Horace on Flower Recs
(Japanese import), a great rootsy track with an excellent D&B remix - Check
it !
