The Sabres Of Paradise – Sabresonic

Reissue just announced
Due date August 2 0 2 5

Does anyone know if this is getting a reissue? Warp need to repress this masterpiece!

I seem to reading somewhere that Still Fighting began life as a remix of Primal Scream's Don't Fight It Feel It. Can't find anything to corroborate that now, but if you listen to them back-to-back, there are definitely similarities. Plus, the name hints at a link.

I can't express what a pivotal record this is for me.
Mr Weatherall has always had an eye on the complete package, the Sabres/Swordsmen era is indicative of this. Evocative music backed with such smart art work/sleeve notes, teasingly giving glimpses at a far greater intention.
This makes his work sound humourless, which it most definitely not. Nearly everything he does is touched with wry humour twinned with near obsessive attention to subversive though imaginative reference points.
In later years Mr Weatherall has been dismissive of the cinematic elements in his work of this era, (a reaction to the growth of many of his contemporaries moving onto this path perhaps?) however this record casts up in my minds eye....from pseudo Gang warfare in a Balti house to a Spaghetti Western epic relocated to Peru. Its nuts, funny, more than a bit pretentious and sums up 90s dance music for me.
Buy it, never regret!

fabulous production.
one of my favorites.
highly recommended.
