│ ôItÆs the R O D, the N E Y, thatÆs that bloke, that geez, that │
│ guy.ö │
│ │
│ Roderick Manuva returns with a blood ænÆ thunder EP inspired by │
│ but not totally in thrall to the magnificent ôAwfully Deepö │
│ album, now MOBO-nominated and generally agreed to have been a │
│ very surprising omission from the Mercury shortlist. │
│ │
│ Awfully De/EP kicks off with a brand new track, ôSeat Yourself,ö │
│ a Manuva produced, crazed banger of a beat, the kind of off- │
│ kilter madness that works as soon as you hear it and then works │
│ even more with every repeat listen. Over it, Manuva and Ricky │
│ Ranking splatter lyrics of complete defiance, some anger and not │
│ a little humour. ItÆs a blinder. │
│ │
│ Labelmate Diplo - fresh from production work for Kano and M.I.A. │
│ and a remix for Gwen Stefani - leaps into the fray and │
│ transforms the tune into a squelchy stomper with his trademark │
│ booming timpani kicks... │
│ │
│ Now flip over. ôAwfully Deep (Lambeth Blues)ö is a live-in-the- │
│ studio re-work of the title track of the LP. After a successful │
│ UK tour ended at a sold out Brixton Academy, Rodney decided that │
│ he wanted to make a version of some of the albumÆs tunes with │
│ his live band. To help out in the studio (his experience with │
│ live musicians in a studio set-up being somewhat limited) he │
│ drafted in Damon Albarn, the pair having formed a mutual │
│ appreciation society after ManuvaÆs guest slot on the Gorillaz │
│ album. Having tried out a couple of thrashed out punk versions │
│ of the tune, Albarn sat down at the piano and started pumping │
│ out some wonky Clayderman, the band fell in with him and this │
│ marvellously downbeat, deadpan re-work was born. │
│ │
│ But before the mood becomes too, too deep, check out the │
│ Metronomy remix. Joseph Mount is apparently an ex-rock drummer │
│ now living in Brighton. Who cares? The truth is he has turned in │
│ the funniest, funkiest slice of eighties-style lofi white boy │
│ soul youÆll have heard since Paul Morley was chucked out of Hall │
│ & Oates (he was, wasnÆt he?) . ItÆs silly but in a kind of │
│ sublime way. │
│ │
│ And to round off, the original tune in all its headcase glory. │
│ Still about as raw, heartfelt and emotional as anything youÆll │
│ hear this year. ItÆs the Awfully Deep EP. Get to the bottom of │
│ it. │
│ │
│ │
│ check the scan... Awfully De/EP. Like, you know, combining the │
│ two. Right. │
│ │
│ This looks similar to Roots_Manuva-Awfully_Deep-EP-2005-GCP but │
│ it's not. The GCP release is the CDS, missing the Seat Yourself │
│ instrumental. And I took a pic-a-ture. AND I gave you a ton │
│ more info on the tracks. So thank me. │
