Spacetalk reissue this privately-pressed album from 1985.
Jake Hottell's 'Break The Chains' is suitably cosmic and emotive, with Hottell cannily fusing gentle drum machine rhythms and dreamy synthesizer motifs; influenced, he says, by "a love of the contemporaneous new age output of former jazz label, Windham Hill Records."
Re-mastered from the original master tapes, while extensive new liner notes shed light on the remarkable musical and personal experiences that inspired Hottell to create an obscure, overlooked classic.

This is 27-year old Al Cowan's first domestic release through Ubiquity, and his second as TM Juke for Tru Thoughts. Seamlessly blending the dexterity and verbosity of traditional jazz with the cut 'n' paste sensibilities of hip-hop, TM Juke's productions resonate with crisp beats, earthy instrumentation, and spellbinding arrangements. For fans of Quantic, Mr. Scruff, Hot Chip, Shawn Lee, Alice Russell.

“Terrene” stands as the first musical encounter between Danish and French composers Henrik Laugesen and Vincent Villuis respectively known as Lauge and AES Dana.
A cornucopia of evanescent pads and elaborate rhythms with a distinctive downtempo vibe; a daedal story taking one on a magnetic peregrination through dense and contrasted sonic geographies, picturing the notion of temporality and space.
This mighty 10 track album elicits emotions and feelings and will leave you full of moxie!

1991年的处女作"Blue Lines"的问世，犹如平地一声雷，其梦幻迷离的鼓点、城市化的歌词内涵、精良的制作让Massive Attack毕露出音乐家素质的锋芒，这张专辑更是Bristol Hip-Hop运动的蓝本作品！人们已经把这三位带有一份神秘色彩的音乐人视为传奇人物了！同时"Blue Lines"在当年还成为音响器材的试音唱片。
Trip-Hop起源于９０年代英国Bristol一地，在欧洲不断面临美国Hip-Hop侵入的冲击之时，英 国的DJ们即开始将Hip-Hop发展成自己的风格，他们将Hip-Hop的速度降慢（较为down tempo），强调沉重缓慢的鼓声及Bass，抽掉Hip-Hop中的Rap，以及Sample些老旧唱片，于是 形成了所谓的Bristol Hip-Hop（Trip-Hop之前身，当时尚未有Trip-Hop这个名词）；而９１年推 出首张唱片《Blue Lines》的Massi00ve Attack则带动了这一波Bristol Hip-Hop运动（人们称之"First Coming Of Bristol Sound"，Bristol Hip-Hop时期的风格并不是那么地刻意要营造黑暗诡谲的气 氛），至于真正Trip-Hop兴盛的关键时期则是在９４、９５年Massive Attack推出第二张唱片《Protection》，以及Portishead和Tricky的掘起；从Portishead女主唱Beith Gibbson颓废、慵懒的唱腔加上６０、７０年代老旧唱片的sample（甚至唱片的杂音），到Tricky喃喃自语般愤世嫉俗的低沉声音，将Bristol sound营造出了一种迷幻抽象、黑暗诡谲的新环境；于是便有杂志将他们这种音乐型态称之为"Trip-Hop"（人们称这段时期为"Second Coming Of Bristol Sound"） P.S.事实上Massive Attack，Portishead，Tricky彼此间有着微妙的关系。Massive Attack的三位成员和Tricky原都是"The Wild Bunch"（1982年由Nelle Hooper主导的团体）的成员，所以Massive Attack歌曲中常有Tricky的参与；而Portishead的成员Geoff Borrow则曾在Massive Attack《Blue Lines》中参与制作。
