Echoes of the Night: The Adrian Sherwood Remixes (Eco-Mix Vinyl)
They say you should never meet your heroes, but for Mike Hodgson of Pitch Black, meeting the legendary Adrian Sherwood has been a transformative experience, leading to creative collaborations that have benefited both of them.
Nearly 30 years after first being mesmerized by OnU Soundâs releases, a cheeky bit of radio ripping serendipitously led to Mike helping Pats Dokter, the labelâs official archivist, with his work restoring master tapes, and eventually to him creating visual content for Adrianâs live shows.
A while after this collaboration began, Adrian offered to remix some of Mikeâs music, either by his solo project Misled Convoy or his work as Pitch Black, and itâs four cuts by the latter that grace this heavyweight platter.
From the dreamy dub of Transient Transmission to the rolling rhythms of A Doubtful Sound, Pitch Blackâs originals have been re-arranged and dubbed to $%># in Adrianâs signature style, with fluid melodies, pounding basslines and vocal samples awash in a wall of effects.
Trumpets by David âItal Hornsâ Fullwood bookend the release, haunting in the first track and celebratory in the last, while Doug Wimbish (Tackhead) added an extra bassline to the heaving version of 1000 Mile Drift, which also features the voice of the iconic Lee âScratchâ Perry.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Mike Hodgson says, âthe whole experience has been slightly unreal, from working on Adrianâs videos to being in the OnU studio and watching him dub-mixing the tracks Iâve made, something I could never have imagined happening!â
Mike isnât the only OnU fan in Pitch Black, as a pivotal moment for Paddy was âwatching Adrian mixing Tack>head at the Powerstation in 1995 and seeing the cause-and-effect of what he was doing and hearing the unbelievable sounds coming out of the speakers. It was the first time Iâd ever seen somebody dub mix like that.â
The cover of Echoes of the Night is based upon an original artwork by Hamish Macaulay, while the vinyl has been pressed using a 100% recycled compound known as eco-mix, making each record totally unique as the colours subtly change across the pressing run.
