Big Boss Man - Full English Beat Breakfast

An essential selection of prime 60’s inspired dancefloor tracks - ‘Full English Beat Breakfast’ - the long awaited third album from Big Boss Man.  The album will be preceded by the single ‘Black Eye’. Full English Beat Breakfast’ follows the Big Boss Man albums‘Winner’ (2005) and ‘Humanize’ (2001). Both hugely successful for the band, instigating several extensive Europe tours, music placements with The Mighty Boosh, Nike (World Cup Theme 2006) amongst others, whilst building on their already strong following in both in the UK and Worldwide. The album was recorded by the band at their 8-track ramshackle studio and mixed by Nick Terry (The Bongolian, Klaxons, SMD) at Studio 2, The Premises (Hackney, London), for which Big Boss Man have again made good use of their extensive collection of vintage gear. Head honcho Nasser (a.k.a the Bongolian) plays mini-VIP, Farfisa and Hammond organs, Wurlitzer piano, Moog synths and drums and percussion. Driving fuzz guitar and bass beat are provided by bassman Scott Milsom "the Hawk" and guitarist Trev Harding. The band have once more created a superb spaced-out selection of 60’s inspired dance floor tracks: Northern Soul vibes with ‘Black Eye’, garage sounds with ‘The Bloater’, Boogaloo with ‘Pies and Pastiche’ and even samba with ‘Full Brazilian’. Big Boss Man have also worked on numerous other projects including remixes for Paul Weller (The Bottle), a solo project from Nasser as The Bongolian (three albums The Bongolian, Blueprint, Outer Bongolia for Blow Up) on which he played all the instruments himself. Following the inclusion on the Thievery Corporation’s ‘Outernational Sound’ compilation, Big Boss Man’s dancefloor favourite ‘Sea Groove’ was sampled for and features throughout the track ‘The Numbers Game’ on the Thievery Corporations latest album ‘Radio Retaliation’ in 2008 as well as being used by the Red Cross for a nationwide campaign in the USA this year. The original 7" version of Sea Groove now valued at £25 in the official Record Collector guide – although that’s if you can find one!
