Mr V's Rollo Fanclub - http://members.tripodnet.nl/Rollo e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fanclub Newsarchive http://members.tripodnet.nl/Rollo/newsclub1.html -------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to Stefan Sell: Huff & Herb Biography Combine the musical styles of Blues and funky House, fuse them together by whipping up a whirlwind of ambient sounds set to a rocking beat, then charge them up with the musical of Huff & Herb - the result is explosive, it's 'Up On The Blue' and with a cleverly appropriate title that's just what it is - uplifting, on it and the Blues like you've never heard before! Huff & Herb gently eased themselves into the limelight a few months ago with the highly acclaimed, beautifully atmosphere 'Feeling Good' featuring the legendary vocals of Nina Simone. 'Up On The Blue' comes as their follow up single, and it won't disappoint their already convinced fans. Huff & Herb have cornered a unique sound by their two very different musical histories. Ben Langmaid (alias Huff ) previously made his home with Rollo at the Cheeky label. Here Ben released his work under the name Atomic, working on remixes such as 'Shine' for Space Brothers and Hyper Go Go's 'High' and his own release 'Drop into Madness'. Ben also worked in partnership with Rollo as Huff & Puff producing club hits such as 'Help Me Make It' which smashed into the National top 40 on skyway last year. A short time after, Ben introduced Rollo to long time friends Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz, playing an influential role in the formation of 'Faithless' who remain one of the most successful collaborative dance acts to date. Alongside his producing career Ben also found time to hold a residency at the Cafe De Paris 'SEX' nights. Jeff Patterson (alias Herb) has become a respected figure within the music industry since his first break in 1986 providing vocals for the band Seventh Heaven. Jeff's dulcet tones and programming skills have been utilised by an ever growing list of the finest calibre of artists including; George Clinton, Junior Morrison, Boy George, Farlery Jackmaster Funk, George Michael, Eve Gallagher, UB4O, James Ingram and the Acid Jazz label to name a few. More recently Jeff can also be recognised for his vocal contribution on the recent Healy and Amos hit 'Stamp'. An excitingly diverse package of remixes come from the guys themselves experimenting with variations of the 'Up On The Blue' theme, joining the wagon trail on the 'Yojo Club' and 'Yojo Dub' mixes the track has been uniquely transformed by Yojo Working, who have proven themselves to be a perfect choice for producing an additional two excellent remixes. - Recently I've posted a message at [EMAIL PROTECTED] where I said that Huff & Puff are Rollo & Sister Bliss. I'd like to take that back now. Sorry. - At least it is now confirmed who's Huff and who's Puff. Reading this brings me to the following: Rollo is NOT involved in: Intastella: Skyscraper (Huff & Herb Club Edit / Huff & Herb Club Mix / Huff & Herb Dub Mix) Huff & Herb: Feeling Good (Epic Mix / Radio Edit / w/Cut Filly Jam) Huff & Herb: Up On The Blue (7" Edit / Big Blue Mix) Space Brothers: Shine (Huff Remix) - Huff = Ben Langmaid Puff = Rollo Armstrong Herb = Jeff Patterson But who is Stuff and who is Tuff? Rollo? Could be. It rhyms on Puff. Plus: The catalog# of my Huff & Stuff: Sweet Sweet Music is PUFF1 Or PUFF1 is a typo for HUFF1. I'll leave Stuff and Tuff in doubt. --- After a storm comes a calm :-)) Thanks to Douglas Judicious: Stoned Democracy: Close Like An Overdose 2x12": 1993 UK (Champion; CHAMP12.302) [White Label DJ Promo] A1.

Close Like An Overdose (Kerri Chandler Mix) D1. BLANK [Note: The Radio Edit isn't an Edit of The Development Corp or Kerri Chandler. It is probably the Edit of Rollo's Original Mix. At least it sounds very Rollo-ish according to Doug. Thanks to Douglas I've also heard it and yes, it sounds very Rollo-ish.] --- Thanks to Douglas Judicious: Kristine W: One More Try (Our Tribe Mix) It was included on a Go-Girl compilation (Remix Service for DJ's Only) Go-Girl Presents "Midnight Sun" (late night house Anthems) one continuous club mix Tracks are: 01. 05:25 EBTG: Missing 02. 05:10 Daphne: Change 03. 08:43 M People: Open Your Heart (BIR Mix) 04. 07:00 Livin' Joy: Dreamer (Rollo's Big Mix) 05. 06:17 Bette Midler: To Deserve You 06. 05:19 Liquid: One Love Family 07. 05:02 Ellie Mac: So In Love 08. 07:35 Kristine W: One More Try (Our Tribe Cracklin' Mix) 09. ??:?? Michael Jackson: Earth Song (Hani's Mix) 10. ??:?? S. McLachlan: Possesion (RITM Mix) 11. 10:16 Peter Gabriel & Deep Forest: While The Earth Sleeps I think they called it the Our Tribe Cracklin' Mix due to all the pops and clicks you hear from the old vinyl they must have used. I'm not 100% sure they didn't mess with the mix, like add drums or something extra. It sounds very Our Tribe to me and I don't think they messed with the mix much if they did. On the inside of the cover it states it uses the Our Tribe Mix for this Remix. --- Fine Young Cannibals: I'm Not The Man I Used To Be Recently I found notes of Fine Young Cannibals: I'm Not The Man I Used To Be 12", which indicated that there are, next to the Rollo & Sister Bliss Monster Mix, more Rollo & Sister Bliss Mixes of I'm Not The Man I Used To Be. Is there someone who is able to help us confirm this? --- Thanks to Remko: BBC-CeeFax page 563: Dido - who's set to get a big hit with "Here with me" - says she's working with her brother Rollo, from Faithless, on her new solo material. There's a real brother-sister love there. Dido told Radio 1 he's the only one who really understands what she's trying to do with her music: "He's a joy to work with and the end result always seems to be something we're happy with" --- >From Juno: SISTER BLISS: Deliver Me (Multiply) 12" promo: Deliver Me (Mix 1, Pierre Hiver/M Hammer "Flight Over Hamburg" remix) (12MULTY 72P) [5.60] ---------------------------------- Unsubscribe from this mailinglist: [EMAIL PROTECTED] subject="Unsubscribe" _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. -- This message was sent through the Faithless Mailing-list.
