Sault 11

The mysterious Sault return with album number three that was announced when the whole album was played on BBC 6 Music’s Gilles Peterson’s show. This is the most essential album for 2020. The 18 track album is an absolute joy whilst delivering a powerful message. Each tracks title nods towards revolution, expression and a celebration of black culture. The sound once again mixes R&B, funk, soul and hip-hop together. For fans of classic soul, ESG and groove.

The mysterious Sault return with their second album for 2020. This is the most essential album for 2020. It's their fourth album in less than two years and the quality and essential message has not been compromised. This album is based firmly around the dancefloor with gems that take in house disco, 80's Boogie and Post Punk. After one listen, you'll agree this album is something special, but along with Untitled (Black Is) they have made the soundtrack of modern times with lyrics of anger, resistance and protest. It's utterly compelling.

Machines Dream is a Canadian atmospheric progressive rock band from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The group was founded in 2008 by Craig West, Brian Holmes and Ken Coulter. The band was formed after a series of "just for fun" rehearsal sessions succeeded in creating a large catalogue of original music. Machines Dream blends 70s Progressive Rock elements with modern atmospheric themes dashed with heavy symphonic crescendos. The band's membership consists of Craig West (Guitar/Vocals/Bass), Brian Holmes (Keyboards/Bass), Ken Coulter (Drums), Rob Coleman (Lead Guitar) and Jake Rendell (Bass/Backing Vocals). Currently the band has released two full-length albums and one digital EP. The group are defined by their accessible progressive rock sound, and recognition through the Internet…

The first two albums re-recorded, remixed and remastered to sound as they deserve to be with original missing tracks included. Machines Dream formed in 2010 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. Machines Dream began as five guys getting together a few times a week to jam, to improvise and follow their hearts musically. Those jams and ideas resulted in songs, which led to recording and - in March 2012 - the self-titled debut was released. The album is a collection of progressive rock songs with a scope both atmospheric and cinematic that embraces tales of mental illness, alienation, communication and the need to find safe haven in a destructive world. It's easy to see the lineage of Machines Dream. The members listened to groups like PINK FLOYD, GENESIS, MARILLION, KING CRIMSON, PORCUPINE TREE and TOOL and those influences are recognizably referenced in their own music.

It was formed in 1994 by Nick Jackson as a psychedelic and multi-media band based in both London, England and Sault Ste. Marie, Canada. Citing influences such as Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, The Cure, the band combines progressive rock along with several other influences, including country, heavy metal, hard rock and pop. The band released it first full-length album, "The Stranger Inside the Self" the same year (1994). At this point, It was purely Nick Jackson's vehicle as he was the only full member of the band. Guest musicians were used to provide additional instrumentation for the album. During It's live shows promoting the album, the band began to use multi-media techniques, such as playing short films behind the band on stage. It's second album, "Two Worlds" was released early the following year…
