R:Earth - R:Earth mp3 album

I just can't imagine how this one might have be surprising back in 1990!!! This original blend of dub, pop, electronica and ambient-house was way ahead of its time, and anticipating labels like Pork 4 years before. Even compared to the most forward-thinking ambient-house releases back in 90, this was a Ufo ! These three versions of R-earth are deep and smooth electronica that show clearly that both members were trained in pre-techno composing, and not different from Manna's debut album on Apollo (1994), with even a saxophone floating elegantely above. The R-Resonant is the most dubbish one, but all 3 are excellent. Just relax, open your mind, and dive in!

Completely agree with BomberOne about this release! To this day it hasn't aged one bit!Little known fact about this; Steve Cobby & co we're in the infamous Fon Studios in '94, sat on boxes of 100 x 12's, turns out they we're unsold copies of the original Manna Records pressing of R Earth! A personal favourite & a big track in their home town! Porky bought up the remaining copies & re-released them with a 'Pork Recordings' sticker over the original barcode!
