▓ [ about this release ] ▓
░ ░
An easy-listening trip-hopster similar in style and
intent to his countrymen Air and Dimitri from Paris,
Kid Loco has an even stronger kinship with the long
tradition of French pop characterized by Serge
Gainsbourg. Otherwise known as Jean-Yves Prieur, he
began playing the guitar at the age of 13 and played
in several French punk groups during the early '80s.
He moved on to production as well by the end of the
decade, and moved on to reggae and hip-hop with a band
named Mega Reefer Scratch. By 1996, Prieur had built
his own studio, christened himself Kid Loco and
released the Blues Project EP for Yellow Productions.
The full-length A Grand Love Story appeared one year
later, earning praise from many in the indie-rock and
electronica community. A remix album was released in
1998. Prieur also accompanied St. Etienne's Sarah
Cracknell for a rendition of "The Man I Love" from the
Gershwin tribute Red Hot + Rhapsody, and has remixed
Stereolab, Pulp, Mogwai, the High Llamas, Dimitri from
Paris and Talvin Singh. The reconfigured Prelude to a
Grand Love Story appeared in 1999 as Loco's US full-
length debut, and the remix album Jesus Life for
Children Under 12 Inches followed later that same
year. Kid Loco moved up to the majors with his second
full-length, 2001's Kill Your Darlings.
A Grand Love Story is an irresistible romp through the
light-hearted, pastoral side of trip-hop by way of
orchestral-pop paragons like Bacharach, Gainsbourg and
Love. Songs like the single "Relaxin' with Cherry" and
"She's My Lover" are beautiful pop songs, constructed
mostly from sampled material with a few live guitar
and bass lines plus vocals by Prieur and the Pastels'
Katrina Mitchell. If the '70s fixations of Air were
shifted back a decade, the results would be quite
close to A Grand Love Story. -- John Bush (AMG)

length mix on "Today's Sound Project" on Easy Tempo.

▓ [ about us ] ▓
▒ iRO is an internal release group, which means we ▒
░ release outside of the regular mp3 scene. We do this ░
purely for the public, so you can hear that hard-to-
░ find album, that release you could never find the ░
scene rip of, and the actual retails of albums at
proper quality standards so you can decide whether
you really want to buy them or not; all without
asking for anything in return.
Also, unlike our predecessors, iRO gives back first
to the people who do all the work, the rippers. With
this thought at heart, all members have an equal say
in all group decisions and are welcome in all group
channels. Equality, quality and democracy, values
all good groups should share.
With the introduction of the year 2004, comes change.
As of 01/01/2004, iRO will now be encoding in the APS
standard (VBR). Our past two years of work, all done
in the CBR standard, will remain in tact.
We are currently looking for fast ftps to serve as
pubs and member sites, as well as xdcc shell
providers. If you can help out by providing one of
these to this noble cause please come visit us in
#iRO on EFNET and leave a message with a member.
