These ambient dubsters have looked to their roots for their latest
project, their fourth album. And the roots they found were: traditional
English folk music! With hurdy gurdys and violins married to their
usual melodic techno tunes, they have created a unique, haunting and
timeless album - from a version of ‘John Barleycorn’, the oldest known
song in English, to their own brand of third millennium dance music.
Regulars at the Big Chill and Megatripolis clubs & various festivals, the Knights have been steadily building a deserving reputation for funky vibes and quality chill-out music. Now these cyberfolk have sailed into previously uncharted waters, guided only by their many influences from the past and a quest for experimenting with modern music and melody. The album features original songs alongside techno-folk covers of Fairport Convention, Ewan McColl and old traditional songs. Zion Train’s Molara takes lead vocals on one of the highlight tracks, ‘We’, and other guests include Peter Riley of The Winchesters. The Knights, already familiar to many through compilations from Planet Dog, Big Chill, Megatripolis, Dubnology 1 & 2, etc, are now perversely set to also appeal to the contemporary folk scene. |
