Subject: [Wireless] Immi on LHB record
Hi all
I have just found out that our favourite Imogen Heap appears on yet ANOTHER
record that no of us were aware of!! It's one by group LHB who did remixes of
Getting Scared the single way back... This is a brand new album tho, and it
is out on 11/02/02, so it looks like Feb is gonna be a good month for Immi
fans all round, what with Frou Frou coming out too... Pre order it at
www.hmv.co.uk HMV UK Top Dog For Music, Videos and Games
It's seems there may be a few songs on it featuring immi and there are 12"
vinyls and CDs etc going round as we speak.
The album title is LHB
Tell 'Em Who We Are
Telstar
The band also had a CD out before called Dig you may find a friend I think
and it may feature immi but not sure.
I was also at a london venue last night called The Kashmir Klub and saw Immi
on the wall from a review. It seems she played live in the summer at a royal
festival hall event i think. Had a pic of her at her keyboard. Wish I had
known. Havent seen her live for ages. I think her management also hd a gig
night at the Kashmir not long back showcasing all their artists.
This is a review of LHB album from the BBC
Yes, you read that correctly. Telstar. No cool imprint with the corporate
logo hidden away somewhere at the bottom of the sleeve artwork and no white
label release to the music business in attempt to divert attention away from
this fact. It's not even a product of their smaller Multiply Records. Label
snobbery aside, LHB's Tell 'Em Who We Are is an infectious listen that in
it's own understated way does much to challenge the preconceptions of popular
dance music. With a studio full of all the right bits of equipment; the
squelchometer, vocalator, rock-o-tron and pumpamax XL756 Giles Barton and Lee
Wilson-Wolfe have put together a tidy album of original and unpretentious
tuneage. Pushing house grooves and the odd rock sensibility, LHB are serving
up a sound that might best be described as the bouncing love child of Daft
Punk and Depeche Mode.
Opening with the straight-forward stomp "No Transmission" the album
progresses through an impressive menu of electro, guitar jangles, bleeps and
synth swells. The charming title track "Tell 'Em Who We Are" makes headway in
to the calmer waters of Royksopp whilst "Coming Up For Air" assisted by the
emotive Imogen Heap on vocals is a claustrophobic, twisting, analogue
breakbeat lope reminiscent of the Crystal Method. Despite the somewhat
obvious statement made by "We Live In Cities", the track redeems itself as
the most infectious on the record. Using a vocodered lyric (which will loop
itself in your head for days) whilst lifting the bass line from The
Temptations' "Papa Was A Rolling Stone", playing it backwards and generally
mashing it up can't help but raise a smile. Clever stuff this, and respect is
due to LHB for producing such a bold and accomplished debut that pulls off
many ideas that on paper most would have thrown in the bin. Well worth making
the effort.
