Alabama 3
Mansion On The Hill
Label: Elemental Records Release Date: 16/04/2001
Following a residency at London's Camden Underworld, Alabama 3 release Mansion On The Hill, an interesting mix of sounds including acid house...with definite Elvis influences.
Mansion On The Hill is a cool upbeat tune, with a sound that you know will be going around in your head, even if you don't want it to. Alabama 3 have a very original sound, setting them apart from their contempories who are making their mark at the moment.
Track 2, Shake A Tailfeather, has an unusual 'country-meets-house' sound. Very, very laid back tune that could have you imagining you are in a typical western-style town.
Interesting stuff.
