Dub Spencer & Trance Hill (Marcel Stalder, Julian Dillier, Philipp Greter, Markus Meier, Fabian Weibel) de Suiza
Tercer album, los desconocia totalmente, del grupo de dub de Suiza (con ese nombre, ke cutre pelis de Bud Spencer & Terence Hill….), y como dice el titulo de su último disco ‘Riding Strange Horses’, con mucho humor y amor por el dub se han dedicado ha hacer versiones de temas y darles un toque fresco de dub, las versiones, de todo y sorprendente, algunas mejor conseguidas que otras, pasando de Ennio Morriconne a Falco, Metallica, el Mama de Genesis, The Clash, William S. Burroughs (K GRANDE, K VOZ, EL MAESTRO), Deep Purple, el Primavera……. Curioso, divetido y ahora con el calor entra muy bien……
“Riding Strange Horses” is the name of the third album by the space cowboys, and it sees the four Swiss musicians herding together a pack of very strange steeds indeed, and then proceeding to ride them in time-honoured rodeo tradition. The strange horses come from famous stables (Falco, The Clash, Genesis, Deep Purple, The Catch, M, Tullio De Piscopo, Grauzone etc.) and have notched up umpteen top-ten hits over the past three decades, albeit in disciplines that have about as much in common with dub as the forlorn pink rocking horse has with the dust-dry desert.
Dry-as-dust humour dominates the choice of tracks: monumental pop classics, schmaltzy rock ballads and grimy hits – the stuff that our teenage dreams were made of. The tracklist is heavy on school party classics and cult hits – all lathered up and shaved in the best dub style! Dub Spencer & Trance Hill obviously have a love-hate relationship with many of the original versions, underpinned with a certain covert admiration. With their usual microscopic attention to detail they hammer and chisel out their own versions, applying with incredible consistency their unique magic to each track and infusing it with their distinctive irony and sarcasm. The result is an eloquent answer to the authenticity debate currently raging in the European reggae scene.
