A Life Worth Living (Featuring U-Roy And Alice Russell) [12" VINYL]

Description

THE FIRST TANTALISING TASTE OF '1000 WATTS', THE NEW ALBUM FROM QUANTIC'S ACCLAIMED TROPICAL DUB-INFUSED FLOWERING INFERNO PROJECT. With vocals from Jamaican reggae legend U-Roy and long-time Quantic collaborator Alice Russell, this 12" vinyl single boasts the long version of the track with an exclusive Quantic Dub on the B-side, while the download card and digital version of the single also highlight the album version of the song. Laden with positive spirit and hazy tropical heat, the chorus of this single sees renowned soul singer Alice Russell reprising the delicate, Minnie-Riperton-esque vocal style that captivated the world on the Quantic & Alice Russell album 'Look Around The Corner'. Russell's ethereal harmonies play off the charismatic stylings of toaster extraordinaire U-Roy - fondly known as the Originator, for his central role in the evolution of dub music - while Will "Quantic" Holland wraps it all up in a hypnotically catchy horn riff and rootsy, dub-fuelled production. The third album from Quantic Presenta Flowering Inferno, (and Holland's 17th in total, across various Quantic-related projects), '1000 Watts' sees this musical explorer making a more concerted foray into reggae-roots territory. Recorded direct to tape, the album draws together a set of classic style rhythms for the dancefloor, and for this outing, Holland enlisted the most prestigious roll-call of guest performers yet. - Lead single from the new Flowering Inferno album, a project from Will 'Quantic' Holland's extremely popular dub/reggae project - A side is a special Long Version of the track, not on the album. - B-Side is a vinyl only exclusive dub version of the track that will not be available to stream/buy online - Housed in a Kraft board sleeve with a unique design from Niall McCormack (hitone) - Quantic's Tropical Elevation world tour taking place March –May, including a headline slot at The Funk and Soul Weekender alongside Roy Ayers
