Quantic - Mishaps Happening
(CD/2xLP) Tru Thoughts TRU062, 2004-06-28

Retrouver Will Holland et le label de Brighton Tru Thoughts dans ce premier top de l'année n'est finalement pas une surprise.
L'artiste commence à être connu du petit monde de la musique après deux splendides albums funky-downtempo-soul-jazz-breakbeat, "The 5th Exotic" (2001) et "Apricot Morning" (2002), sous le nom de Quantic, un album de pur funk du Quantic Soul Orchestra, "Stampede" (2003), et enfin un de "chansons pour le dancefloor" de The Limp Twins (Quantic/Will Holland & Russ Porter, 2003). Sans parler des maxis, mixes et remixes à foison...
Le label, lui, a surtout fait parler de lui comme d'un réservoir pour ses grand frêres, avec Jon Kennedy parti sur le label Mancunien Grand Central, et Bonobo puis Treva Whateva chez Ninja Tune. Pendant ce temps il continuait son bonhomme de chemin avec Quantic (et ses divers avatars) et de nombreuses compilations: 3 volumes de "When Shapes Join together", deux double-CDs pour MTV "Mono" et "Shapes One", le sous-label Unfold et ses "Heavyweight Rib Ticklers", "Phonic:hoop" et "Vocalise"...
Ce troisième album sous pseudo Quantic vient, lui, mettre une dernière couche de soul-jazz-funk électronique (avec quelques petites pincées de hip hop dans certains beats) à tous ceux qui envisagent leur futur bien roots avec le café serré du matin. Bref, de Gilles Peterson à Mr Scruff, de la BBC à Straight No Chaser, de Saounds.com à XLR8R, tout le monde est d'accord pour dire que Quantic est un des "nouveaux" artistes à suivre de la scène électronique. Il serait bien temps. [Djouls.com/bestof2004]

Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech
(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
