Humber Revolution



Steve Cobby, Yorkshireman and formerly of Fila Brasilia, has put out some excellent music this year, much of which has been featured and praised over at Acid Ted. Steve has produced a soundtrack, worked on in association with the Hull Truck Theatre Company, based around the revolutions in Eastern Europe in 1989. It contrasts the fight against totalitarian Communist regimes with the youth of Britain's own revolution going on in fields near the M25 and abandoned warehouses in North West England and elsewhere. There's also a connection made to the present day and the government's policy of ideological austerity. The soundtrack is full of great tunes, imaginative and engaging, and definitely worth getting hold of. The limited edition cd is available from Steve's Bandcamp.

Revolutions #1 is melodic, motorik krautrock...



Whereas Revolutions #2 and #3 are house music through and through...





Revolution #4 goes slow and low, some Fender Rhodes piano sounds, more attuned to the end of the night comedown...
