A Love From Outer Space - Musik

A.R. Kane Were A 1980s And 1990s British Indie Band. They Were Primarily The A - Alex Ayuli And The R - Rudi Tambala From The East Of London But Were Also Joined By Russell Smith Bass Also Of Terminal Cheesecake And Skullflower And Various Drummers Along The Way. After 2 Singles On Different Labels And A Surprise Number One Hit As Part Of M/A/R/R/S's "Pump Up The Volume" They Made Two Ground-Breaking Albums That Placed Them Precariously In The Indie Scene - However They Preferred The Term "dream Pop". These Albums Were 69 In 1988 And I In 1989. Hard To Place In Terms Of Genre 69 Was More Consciously Indie Though That's Not Saying Much Seen By Some As Part Of A Continuum That Included Jimi Hendrix' More Spaced-Out Offerings Miles Davis And Others - Musically It Asked Questions And Opened Doors That Have Still To Be Explored. 'i' Was A Dramatic Change Clearly Slicker And Smoother And Covering A Wide Variety Of Styles Over Twenty-Six Tracks Ten Of Which Were Short Noise Interludes . "i" Also Spawned A.R. Kane's Best-Known Song In "A Love From Outer Space". Both Albums Achieved Wide Critical Acclaim. Follow Up Album New Clear Child 1994 Was Not Received As Well The Reasons Being A Believed Lack Of Coherent Direction And A Feeling That The Ideas Were Merely Admittedly Excellent Re Hashes Of Works That Were Completed More Succinctly In The Earlier 2 Albums. Rudy Tambala Made Ambient And Dub Influenced Music Under The Name Sufi. Neither Is Currently Involved In The Music Industry To Any Great Extent. Post-A.R. Kane Alex Ayuli Was Possibly Still Is A Museum Curator In The U.S. Russell Smith Still DJ's Rare Soul 45s In UK And Europe And Earns A Living As A Restorer/ Decorator In South West France. read less
