isotope x is the studio auteur and production arm of Marz Imprint - All tracks composed, arranged and produced by Kevin Harrison.
This still untitled album should be ready for summer 2009 and includes the talents of good friends of mine Horace Panter & Neol Davies.
Hi Kev The studio is built, some wiring done,still a long way to go,drasticly running out of funds. I will try and post some pics up. I really enjoyed the new track, good to hear Horace and Noel
Reggae comes in many forms, Ska, bluebeat; lovers rock ,ragga and then we have DUB.JAM.FORCES'reggae a relentless brutal take on the gene. In your face you ? you bet and they wouldn't have any other way. The band themselves (thats Fred"PUNKDUBBER" Waight -LEAD GUITAR and VOCALS;and Tim "TUBBY" Healey-BASS OF DOOM; George "LEAFS" Goode- DRUMS ) describe their sounds as; "like three Skinheads playing reggae -think Clash/Ruts". The band all have degree in Coventry music pedigree,Fred waight a former and one of the founder members of Coventry finest Skinhead band CRIMINAL CLASS, Tim Healey worked with Neol Davies Box of Blues and George Goode a former member of Horace Panter (ex Specials Ska orchestra. That pedigree becomes very evident on offerings like the Rain Forest song ,taking you back you the Clash's finest days . Its superb in its honesty and masterly in its delivery. Then there's the song THE HUM DIDDLY HUM ,imaging how weird it was for me to hear this song for the first time with its lyric "Pete Chambers has ripped his 2-tone shirt ". At last I can say I have been immortalised in song and mesmerising song at that. This band has something to say, and that all sounds very honest to me ,which is pretty rare in the current climate. These guys have all their musical apprentices a long while ago , What you have here is the real deal. No sell out do it yourself" genuine street musos and Cov City fans .Saying it like it is.
We are very proud to announce, that Monocular s "Water Shape EP" is available at your favorite Online-Store now.
Containing the single "Water Shape" from the forthcoming album "Somewhere On The Line" (April 03, 2009 VierSieben Records/Alive) and three non-album tracks ("Consequence", "To Admire The Life", "Ravenclaw"), it is definitely a must have for all fans of filigree and athmospheric electrosounds.
Where bands like Lamb or Frou Frou left a gap in the late 90s and early 21st century, Monocular redefined the sound and set new standards in developing their complex music by connecting charismatic vocals with entrancing soundscapes.
