Do youremember Blow Monkeys?

08th of November 2012, 21:15

Well you do we guess, at least if you lived in the 80's.

THE BLOW MONKEYS were formed in the early 1980s by singer and songwriter Robert Howard (stage name: Dr. Robert).

Combining the glamour of Roxy Music with the energy of post-punk, the sophistication of nu-jazz and the vocal and melodic stylings of Marc Bolan and T. Rex, THE BLOW MONKEYS signed to RCA Records in 1984.

 

Second album ANIMAL MAGIC from 1986 gave them their breakthrough, as the worldwide hit single ‘Digging Your Scene’ was on permanent radio rotation and it's now available on Cherry Red.

 

This deluxe edition of ANIMAL MAGIC has now finally been re-mastered from the original tapes IIt boasts all of THE BLOW MONKEYS’ non-album B-sides, including their trademark live cover of Curtis Mayfield’s ‘Superfly’. In addition, this 2012 edition boasts six previously unissued demos and recordings created by the band during the sessions for the album, including the otherwise unheard Dr. Robert song ‘Guess I Love Her Now’

What interests me are fields of tension: between control and surrender, between the individual and the system, between reality and perception.

'I want my albums to reflect all sides of me and that's how I've always worked. First I create the music for me, and when it's released, it gets its own life out in the world.'

'With every album we are always trying to move forward, so having time to come up with new ideas and inspiration certainly helped shaping this album.'
