What we say

Rating: happy This record left our BRIAN D feeling happy.

Port-Royal are named after my favourite Caribbean takeaway in Chapeltown, Leeds (well actually, they're from Italy so that's a big fat lie....) and have served up a delicious double vinyl edition of their splendid 'Afraid to Dance' album. Drifting, moving, spellbinding, meaty, drifty, beaty & aromatic. Just buy it, it's really lush OK!!!!

What the label says:

      
"afraid to dance" is the second album by port-royal. it was released on CD by resonant records in summer 2007 and now we offer a different version of the album on 2x12" vinyl including an alternative version of the song "deca-dance" and a remix of "roliga timmen" by dergar.

port-royal's music is located at the border of electronica, ambient and postrock, but with "afraid to dance" they also make a first step towards - yes! - dance music, and we love that: beautiful melodies, captivating beats and a pleasantly drowning ocean of sound.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
