In 1999, this London dance duo released VERTIGO, which made the British Top 20 and achieved silver status. They followed this success with a stint as Elton John's opening band. An album of remixes followed, featuring post-productions by DJ Icey and Tim "Love" Lee. After releasing a mix album, BACK TO MINE, the duo returned with a second production effort, 2001's GOODBYE COUNTRY (HELLO NIGHTCLUB). Two years later, LOVEBOX highlighted a new kind of funk for GA, with kitschy vibes and collaborative efforts coming from Neneh Cherry, Nappy Roots, and R&B chanteuse Sunshine Anderson. SOUNDBOY ROCK continues the emphasis on catchy hooks and became the fourth straight GA album to reach the British Top 10.

HANSON, PAUL - Frolic In The Land Of Plenty
Jazz – 82791207385-0
ABLG9
What Paul Hanson does on bassoon is akin to what other innovators like guitarists Charlie Hunter, banjoist Bela Flek and bassist Jaco Pastorius have done with their respective instruments. Like those musicians, Hanson has created a vibrant new, expansive vocabulary through a combination of virtuosity, vision and soul, as he demonstrates with this release. On the blazing fusion cut "Emerald Mile", his electric bassoon flurries on a labyrinth of intricate unisons with violinist Tracy Silverman sound like a wailing electric guitar and on the fuzz-laden grunge anthem "Scrool", Hanson and crew summon up the heavy metal assault of Black Sabbath.
