    Jon Freer’s Reviews 21st June 2003.

    Thanks to Thomas at Landscape...

    Áshbury – No Mans Land Part 2 (Landscape Recordings)
    Cat No: LSR 008.
    After the earth shattering tenderness of “Steal My Nature”, Supra and vocalist Becky hook up again, for more limited white vinyl 7” action. A new LP is set to drop later this year. “Not Yet” sees wobbly guitar strumming, stuttered chopped beats and angst filled vocals plead alongside the tenderest of flutes. “No Mans Land” is the standout track here, courtesy of its solitary guitar, sitting back breaks, melancholic keys and isolated vocals.

    P’taah – The Oldest Story (Swag Remixes) (Ubiquity)
    Cat No: UR12130. Out Now.
    Deep master and broken don Chris Brann aka P’taah meets his production match in the shape of the ever-dependable Swag duo, who offer two wondrous new visions of “The Oldest Story”. ‘Swag’s New Story Mix’ takes disjointed poky beats, airy synths, peaceful keys and a grimy soft bass, which line up alongside vocals who simply can’t take the pain anymore. While their ‘Swag Version Dub’ is a more dancefloor viable revision, with a ragged synth, nicely moving beats, melodious hip shaking bass and vocal angst.
