MARK SWANCOTT, SEAN MALONEY(COUNT ZERO、SUCCESS)、PAT SCOTT, TIM GARBUTT(NEW AGE TECHNOLOGY/TRAK 1)。WARP RECORDSなどの影に隠れて、どちらかといえば忘れられていたアーチスト達だと思います。808、アーリー90sアナログな感触の機材でここまでイマジナリーな世界を構築できるのかと驚きです。シーケンス、ディテールも素晴らしい。リズムマシーン、シンセ、アシッドハウス、ヒップホップ、レゲエ/ダブ等のイギリス音楽の歴史が交錯。サウンドシステム、レイヴ・カルチャーが産んだ秘宝。 (サイトウ)

▼ Tracklisting

Musique Pour La Danse presents a selection of Sheffield's Ozone Recordings' most cherished bleep, bass & breaks tracks, originally released between `89 and `90.

Remastered by Rob Gordon (original Forgemasters member) and with extensive liner notes by Matt Annis (jointhefuture.net), available in limited trioxygen blue vinyl edition featuring the infamous The Designers Republic logo!

"It would be fair to say that this snapshot of Ozone Recordings’ excitement-packed back catalogue is well overdue. The Sheffield-based imprint’s contribution to British dance music’s creative boom of the late 1980s and early ‘90s has long been overlooked, with much more focus naturally falling on the Steel City’s other key imprint of the period, Warp Records. (...) Looking back, they offer a good snapshot of the time, just as this tighter, more stripped-down compilation of highlights does."
