Dickie Continental's album Un.. came out on Acid Jazz in April this year and has become one of my favourites from this year so far, Rich Thair's excursion into dub, trip hop and atmospherics sounding good in all kinds of settings. Rich has released the track Simon Says in a new form, the Congagong Rework, with congas and hand drums leading the way- it takes the song somewhere else, to festivals and the outdoors sounding like it could go head to head on a stage with ACR and African Head Charge. Get it digitally here- well worth every penny.
Good to see Acid Jazz doing something a bit more radical again as opposed to the "revival of the mod revival" type stuff they've often tended towards in more recent years.
