In their own words...

"Shadow Dancer - Love From Alan & Paul
A Collection from 1997 – 2002: The new album from Shadow Dancer

Wow. 1998. What a year!

In music, Celine Dion was still whinging about a ship sinking, the Spice Girls finally said Goodbye and Chef from South Park asked you to suck on his Chocolate Salty Balls.

There was a World Cup in which England were predictably rubbish, Gillian Anderson was the world’s sexiest woman (yeah, that bird from the X-files) and Bill Clinton got one blow-job too many, this time resulting in a presidential impeachment.

Whilst the rest of the UK was consumed by the whirlwind of Cool Britannia, two young brothers in the North of England had a plan. Alan & Paul Farrier, aka SHADOW DANCER, set upon a four year journey to solidify their obsession with electronic music. Stemming from their youthful infatuation with the Detroit techno of Carl Craig and Juan Atkins, and British sound of Dave Clarke, Luke Slater and The Advent, Shadow Dancer set about writing an album that would define what techno meant to them.

Love From Alan & Paul is the fruit of those sessions at the turn of the last century; a time capsule which has immaculately preserved the energy and passion of their adolescence. Each of the 15 tracks is an exploration into the musical souls of their younger selves; coming together to make an album of great depth and beauty. Fried Electronic (the sole track from late 97), Xybots, and Pressurized: this looks, smells and feels like a safari into the techno tundra.

In later life, they have gone on to sign with the pre-eminent and prestigious Boys Noize Records, and establish a reputation as being the favourites of many a top-flight producer.

Whether it’s unearthing now is a miracle or purely testament to the time it took them to resuscitate old hard-drives, what we have here Ladies and Gentlemen, is a true gem; Shadow Dancer’s dissertation to the University of Techno."
