‘Madness & Me’
Label: Long Range Recordings
Release Date: 27th August 2007
Catalogue Number: LRR001CD
Phil Hartnoll of Orbital fame frees from its straight jacket his Long Range debut album Madness and Me. Three years in the making, Phil returns alongside Nick Smith for a project which features vocal talents including Australian folk singer Kelly Malone and the home-grown Senor Mick.
Madness & Me sits like a road trip album… not unlike a Massive Attack, Moby or a Fleetwood Mac, but has that feel of a total experience ebbing and flowing from the blissed out to the broken beat; like a hitch hiker you picked up a few miles out of Seville.
Long Range delivers big soundscapes, (check Just One More for starters), textured techno and even energised rock! There’s experimentation through experience. Many miles have been clocked with record boxes and equipment dragged to reach this point. With Phil one half (with brother Paul) of one of the most influential and creative dance/electronica acts in the world, he’s always known how to transport the listener. Alongside Nick this journey for the listener has been refined, or even redefined with the addition of a more acoustic, atmospheric and filmatic take on the songs.
Whilst Phil has headlined festivals and dance stages throughout the world Nick has executed music for numerous ad campaigns and even notched up film credits with legends such as Ridley Scott, as well as a recording career with Dragonfly and Atomic Records.
An album birthed in the back streets of Brighton it evokes some diverse emotions from the cinematic leanings of title track Madness & Me, and equally filmatic Which Way Now, through to the more synth Just One More. The feel of the organic is never far away and with Your Face an element of defiance perhaps a nod to the rockers or appreciation of the guitar.
Long Range play out live throughout the Summer from Glastonbury to the Glade….
They release ‘Madness And Me’ on 27th August.
Keep an eye out for the single Madness & Me due for release 16th July.
