Jarvis Cocker – REMIX ED (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Jarvis Cocker has been one of rock's sharpest lyricists since fronting Pulp through the Britpop era, but JARV IS... finds him in genuinely exploratory territory, building something more communal and improvisational than anything in his earlier catalog. The contributors here, including dub pioneer Dennis Bovell and Manchester DJ Greg Wilson, aren't decorating finished songs so much as pulling them apart and reassembling them according to their own obsessions.
Double vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Beyond The Pale has continued to inspire long after the sessions for the record stopped. Despite being divided by the pandemic, audiences came together around the album, Jarvis and co made a live film based on the album with pioneering directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard entirely underground in a cavern, and intriguingly other musicians and producers have continued to be intrigued by the songs Cocker and his band created. The latter now has yielded an entirely new way of hearing Beyond The Pale, as for the first time in his career, JARV IS... releasing a remix album based on one of his records. Boasting re-imaginings and re-stylings from the likes of David Holmes, Dennis Bovell and Greg Wilson among others, the record is a collaborative mix that offers new focus and insight on the music of one of this generation's greatest songwriters.
