U.N.K.L.E. |
Originally consisting of DJ/Mo 'Wax label head James Lavelle, his childhood mate Tim Goldsworthy, and Japanese producer Kudo, U.N.K.L.E. really caught the attention of the music press when Lavelle teamed up with DJ Shadow to produce 1998's Psyence Fiction. Pouring hip-hop and rock through a sieve of experimentalism and breakbeat, the album featured so many cameos (Richard Ashcroft, Thom Yorke and Badly Drawn Boy, to name a few) that it felt like a compilation -- and a dark and brooding one, at that. In 2003, U.N.K.L.E. re-formed again, this time seeing Lavelle partner with his long-time friend Richard File. Never, Never Land is the name of their first venture together. |
