Description
Hot Wax is an assured KPM masterclass from a dream team line-up of Brian Bennett, Alan Hawkshaw and John Fiddy. Here were treated to what happens when all three decide to explore the latest trends in production music. The latest as of 1976, of course.
John Fiddys numbers are sumptuous, string-led and light. Floaty soft-psych underpinned by a solid groove, particularly on Taste For Living and “Fresh Start”. If you’re into Koushik and those early Manitoba/Caribou records – and you should be – youll appreciate these.
Capitol City oscillates between driving funk and downbeat sentiment. Name Of The Game is tough, smokin funk, famously sampled in 2007 by Madlib for Percee Ps Who With Me. Bop On The Rocks knocks hard and Full Throttle features a guitar solo with some of the nastiest, about-to-explode fuzz youre ever likely to hear.
As with all ten reissues [from the KPM series], the audio for Hot Wax comes from the original analogue tapes and has been remastered for vinyl by Be With regular Simon Francis. Be With Records
