Arthur Russell
Lets Go Swimming 12″
Released 1983 ?
on Rough Trade
Finding this record in Colchester of all places was amazing, this record is so hard to find, hearing it is like a wish fulfilment. You wish someone could fuse electro, disco, avant classical and wrap it up with misterious half moaned lyrics and lo and behold they do. The only comparisons I could make to Russel is perhaps early Scritti. This record unfolds over you, makes you feel high and happy. It is tender but with electro elements to keep it street tuff, it is out there, I think some people are trying re-release this stuff, lookout too for Dinosaur L and Indian Ocean.
