Square Window / Andrew Missingham Chris Bowden - 10 Songs For Girls & Boys (CD)

Saxophonist and arranger Chris Bowden of Palmskin Productions recieved widespread plaudits for his Time Capsule album - described by i-D magazine as a "journey to the centre of the head". His prior collaboration was with 4Hero, and here he is working with funky drummer and producer Andrew Missingham who was the power behind Barungwa. He also organised the legendary jam sessions at James Lavelle's & Gilles Peterson's club, That's How It Is, and made his name as a producer for the Acid Jazz label. Here they combine with the fresh vocal talent of 17 year old Nomvula Malinga to make music that can only be categorised loosely as urban dance with a drum and bass sensibility.
