Sleeve notes:
Talkin' Loud kick off '93 with a collection of tracks that not only
trace where Talkin' Loud has come from but show where it's heading.
The music featured on this compilation combines the hits, anthems and
the ones that got away from established Talkin' Loud artists; The
Young Desciples, Galliano, Omar and Incognito with cuts from their new
school of Talkin' Loud acts. The aptly named Urban Species combine
hectic hip hop beats with wise urban rhymes.
Perception provide with 'Serious Love' their own concoction os sassy
soulful funk with strains of latin and jazz mixed in.
Marxman's starting point is to question everything musically and
politically, fusing uncompromising militant rap with, amongst other
influences traditional Irish music.
M.C. Solaar has been highly acclaimed and very successful in France
with his paticular brand of rap music - he has sold 1/4 million LPs.
Featured here 'Qui Seme Le Vent Recolte Le Tempo' a cut that has been
remixed by GangStarr
Bryan Powell represents another direction for Talkin' Loud. His voice
and style of upbeat R&B will set new stantards for '93. Talkin'
Loud's commitment is to develop new and diverse talent, we hope you
enjoy this album.
Talkin' Loud history:
Talkin Loud was founded in 1990 by Gilles Peterson. The label aimed
to sign and develop artists coming out of club culture's alternative
quarter. The label was named after the Sunday afternoon club session
at Dingwalls in Camden, which in turn was named after the James Brown
song 'Talkin Loud and Saying Nothing'
It must be noted that club culture started way before the 'summer of
love', in 1988. Talkin Loud was just a development of a dance music
scene that had been mushrooming steadily around DJs, building up,
underground movements in small, backrooms all around the United
Kingdom. Influential heads of the time, included people such as Paul
Murphy, Chris Bangs, Bob Jones, Hewen Clarke, Colin Curtis, Baz Fe
Jaz, Richard Searling, Chris Hill and as Gilles notes, underground
pirate radio stations, in particular - Radio Invicta and radio shows
by Robbie Vincent (Radio London) and Greg Edwards (Capital Radio)
In those days the only media for this scene came courtesy of Black
Echoes, Blues & Soul and fanzines such as Groove Weekly. In essence
these are the DJs and roots of a scene that has in one sense given
birth to such bastard sons as Dario. G in one sense & Tricky in
another. Evidently the key catalyst to dance music being as successful
as it is in 1998, is a love and passion of Black Music by DJs such as
the above going back to the pre-Disco era of the 1970s.
Having set up the label in 1990, Gilles invited Norman Jay to work
along side him and sign the first crop of Talkin Loud artists.
The first signing was Galliano (Galliano also being the first signing
to his previous label Acid Jazz) followed by the Young Disciples,
Incognito and Omar. These early years of the label proved challenging
as the first batch of signings was one of the first to be worked
through a major record label, more used to the music of Metallica,
Bon Jovi and Elton John. However the music was strong, the bands were
real, the critical acclaim inevitable as the label made a true impact
on a music industry dominated by cliche 80's pop.
