i-D: Good Vibrations Reggae Piece

Taken from i-D June 1990. Great piece from Matthew Collins interviewing Paul Oakenfold (nice cap), 3D, Daddy G, Smith & Mighty and Joey Jay amongst others, on the influence of reggae and, in hindsight, why it all got slow in 1990.

Back, on it and here we go again. More classic Bristol sounds. ‘Looking at my Gucci it’s about that time…’.

Part Two of Massive Attack’s guest spot on London’s Kiss FM here for you. Carrying on where we left off in part one we go from Blondie’s ‘Rapture’, to some Dennis Coffey Band, and into ‘Eurochild’ from their then unreleased album ‘Protection’. Nice to hear them playing ‘Get Stupid Fresh Part III’ by Mantronix and The Artifacts graffiti tale ‘Wrong Side Of The Tracks’. Mushroom cuts it up in the last third in true old-school style. Nice.

Keeping the Bristol connection alive here’s part one of a four part selection coming your way on Test Pressing. Here we have Massive Attack hosting a show on London’s Kiss FM as they hit the promotional trail before their second album ‘Protection’ was released. I seem to remember staying up late with tapes at the ready for this one as I was such a fan of ‘Blue Lines’ and wanted to hear what was coming. ‘Expectation’ was writ large on this album and it must have been a relief for them to have finally got to the point of ‘done’ on the difficult second album. As we know Mushroom was soon to depart (did he leave with the ‘soul’?) but nice to hear them all together in these sessions.

Hello to our Japanese friends on the image here! Sayonara.
