Slacker is dropping a bomb on us this February, his first LP...and it won't be proghouse (barring the rare exception perhaps) but everything downtempo.

quote:

Slacker will issue his first full-length release in February. The Slacker project was originally a collaboration between Shem McCauley and Simon Rogers, with the pair releasing progressive house tracks on labels such as XL, Loaded and their own Jukebox In The Sky imprint. Now the moniker represents McCauley alone, and after a two year break in Thailand, he's back to the UK and ready to get back into the music scene. Instead of concentrating on the progressive house of his past, McCauley has instead decided to concentrate on crafting a full album in the vein of classic '90s works like The KLF's Chill Out and Future Sound Of London's Tales Of Ephidrina. "Stylistically, it might sound like a big change," explains McCauley, "but for me, it’s like expressing the stuff I was never previously able to." The resulting work is entitled Start w New Life, and is quite a diverse effort, encompassing beatless piano tracks ("I Have No Memory"), slo-mo funk ("Just As I Am"), skittering Arthur Russell-sampling breakbeat ("Come With Me") and lush choral electronica ("Help Me Here"). Tracklist 01. Start A New Life 02. I Have No Memory 03. When I Was A Child 04. Come Back Home 05. Just As I Am 06. Come With Me 07. Hymn To Her 08. See The World 09. A Million Dreams 10. Help Me Here 11. What A Dream I Had

I'm excited...another one of the proghouse heavyweights from the 90s.

I'll give it a listen. He was great with the prog sound of the 90's so hopefully he's just as gifted with the electronica sound.

I nearly forgot, his Myspace has 5 samples: http://www.myspace.com/slackershem (and apparently Ipoons has them available exclusively for now).

judging by the samples this is a definite buy

Big Slacker fan so I'll definitely be looking into this.

Hmmm I wonder if McCauley can do it alone...
