Bandleader Simon Jeffes composed the leadoff track "Music for a Found Harmonium" on a harmonium he found abandoned on a Tokyo street, which offers an inkling of the musical inspiration that sprang from this remarkable Englishman. As usual, he gathers a loose aggregation of musicians who create stunning, free-flowing acoustic sounds that defy categorization…

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1985 release including bonus tracks. Dangerous Music was starting to generate good sales figures when his record company (Bronze Records) went bust and the record vanished from the shops. Now it's back 25 years later, with bonus tracks and eagerly awaited by fans all over the world. Robin George enjoyed a worldwide hit single in 1985 with Heartline and his stock was high as he entered the studio to record a follow up to his critically acclaimed album Dangerous Music. The album had the working title Dangerous Music II and was produced by acclaimed producer Gus Dudgeon. By the end of 1986 the album was completed and ready to go but his then management company went to market and because of the success of Heartline sought ridiculous advances and as such the album was never released-until now.

Anneli Dreckerґs ethereal voice first became known through the music of her band, Bel Canto, back in the late 80s. Only 17, Anneli left her Arctic hometown of Tromsш with band members Geir Jenssen (aka Biosphere) and Nils Johansen, for the pulsating indie scene in Bruxelles. Signed to the legendary Belgian label Crammed Discs, Bel Canto captured the zeitgeist of European electronic music. Their first two albums, "White Out Conditions" and "Birds Of Passage", were released internationally and won the Norwegian grammy award three times. With her characteristic singing style, often compared to other wonderful singers such as Lisa Gerrard and Liz Frasier, Anneli has collaborated with artists such as Hector Zazou, Jah Wobble, Gavin Friday, DJ Krush, Tim Simenon, Simon Raymonde of Cocteau Twins, Guy Sigsworth and Ketil Bjшrnstad.

Willie Nile, The Bottom Line Archive 1980-2000, is two disc set, separated by a 20 year gap, and is a great example of Nile's long term staying power, and the loyalty that Bottom Line owner/curator, Allan Pepper (booker, or talent buyer does not suffice) extends to the artists that he really believes in. Exhibit a is this double-disc affair, highlighting two distinct eras in Nile's 35-year career. It is worth noting that one of the primary reasons we can enjoy the temporal contrasts contained in this collection is simply because, when Willie was ready to come back, Allan Pepper was just as ready to welcome him back to The Bottom Line. It was a second home for me, gushes Nile. Allan and the whole vibe of the club was so musician-friendly and warm. It was just the best place to play for that reason.
