The Sabres Of Paradise - Sabresonic Mp3

£150? As the Guv used to say “don’t let the grubby little opportunists get you down”..

I had a spare (excellent copy) for sale at a record fair the day before he passed away for £10. I already decided to keep my tatty copy as, y’know that’s the one I bought on release. A couple of people took interest and we chatted about the genius/influence of AW. Anyway, they didn’t buy it. Since posted it to a mate for nothing. Morals intact :) RIP Guv’nor

Greedy shameful shit indeed . . . . ..

I can't express what a pivotal record this is for me.Mr Weatherall has always had an eye on the complete package, the Sabres/Swordsmen era is indicative of this. Evocative music backed with such smart art work/sleeve notes, teasingly giving glimpses at a far greater intention. This makes his work sound humourless, which it most definitely not. Nearly everything he does is touched with wry humour twinned with near obsessive attention to subversive though imaginative reference points.In later years Mr Weatherall has been dismissive of the cinematic elements in his work of this era, (a reaction to the growth of many of his contemporaries moving onto this path perhaps?) however this record casts up in my minds eye....from pseudo Gang warfare in a Balti house to a Spaghetti Western epic relocated to Peru. Its nuts, funny, more than a bit pretentious and sums up 90s dance music for me.Buy it, never regret!

fabulous production.one of my favorites.highly recommended.
