If Alone is the first single taken from Sideshows forthcoming album Admit One, out on Aus Music in February 09. Fin Greenall would describe himself as the engine of Sideshow, backed up by the band he has been touring with as legendary London label Ninja Tunes first and foremost singersongwriter, Fink. During the bands downtime in between touring Europe and the USA, and writing his critically acclaimed soul-blues-dub, they came together in his 7Dials studio in Brighton to bring us some more trademark dub infused goodness. Paul St. Hilaire (previously known as Tikiman) is a dub vocalist and live performer of considerable power - known for his collaborations with Basic Channel, Rhythm & Sound, Deadbeat and Stereotyp. He also releases on his own label False Tuned. Original: A lament on the state of the world today from one of dub and reggaes most respected underground lyricists. Pauls rich vocal is propelled forward by Guys unrelenting bass pattern, before giving way to Fins hypnotic guitar line. Chateu Flight Remix: The Parisian duo are truly respectful of the vocal giving it the space it deserves to shine. Eerie sounds and fx dance around the melancholic melody like ghosts. The details and subtlety of this mix keep shining through on each listen. CF dub: The guys have really spoilt us with a dub that bears very little resemblance to the vocal version.. A rubbery, swinging bass line instantly locks you in and the crazy cut up breakdown spits you out the other side with a smile on your face. Appleblim & Komonazmuk remix: A journey that starts out mournful and deep and ends on a sweaty, euphoric high. Fully utilizing Sideshows guitar line to begin with but as the arrangement progresses Appleblim and Komon introduce a set of stabs that will undoubtedly get the arms reaching for the lazers.
