A La Fu - Critical Hailstones E.P.
MP3 download (320 kbps). If you require WAV's please get in contact and we will send you those seperate. No extra charge.
After a heady few years of running a record label, building the label’s studio and working with a range of artists and outfits such as The JAMS/KLF, Coldcut, Roots Manuva, Mike Ladd and the U.K.'s leading string orchestra the Scottish Ensemble, A La Fu finally follows up his last suite 'I'll Drive You Pray' to complete E.P. No.2. titled 'Critical Hailstones.'
This collection begins with the spontaneous recording 'Gucci Bamboo' with Sandra Melody (Big Dada/Diplo/Lotek Hi Fi/Roots Manuva) in fine off the top/freestyle mode after hearing A La Fu's somewhat bewildering idea for a chorus and subject matter. 'Avoid Television' advises us to do just that at all costs and that stakes are now too high for us to stay home with our heads glued to television screens and smart phones, 'Synthetic Nite Owl' celebrates and laments late night/early morning recording sessions and lastly 'Yellow & Violet In The North' is a pre post post modern ode to the city of the artists birth which also sees an accompanying small film by the excellent photographer and film maker Dougal Thompson.
All these compositions are nurtured in A La Fu's own inimitable style of refusing to be any one thing whatsoever and can only further cement his place happily in his own vacuum.
