The voices of Robin Hopcraft, Idris Rahman and Julia Biel - provide the focus in a subtly changing landscape of deep, dub-inspired reggae and afro grooves, with ever-present commentaries from the horn section (often augmented to the full "Fela Horns" - the line-up that provided the horns for the National Theatre"s production of the hit musical "Fela!"). As instrumentalists, Rahman (saxophone/clarinet) and Hopcraft (trumpet) have worked collectively and individually on a huge array of projects including the internationally acclaimed jazz albums of Zoe Rahman (Idris" sister), space jazz pioneer and Specials originator Jerry Dammers (Spatial AKA), international reggae artists Aswad, U-Roy, Rico Rodriguez, Indo Jazz clarinetist Arun Ghosh, as well as Afro-Jazz pioneers Osibisa, poet Anthony Joseph, horn posse Brassroots and soul legend Martha Reeves. The high quality musicianship has been captured in Prince Fatty"s Brighton studio, Soothsayers" choice for laying down the basis of the tracks. The result is a sumptuous, warm, analogue sound quality. Mixing has been put in the hands of reggae producers Manasseh and Yesking, who have embraced Fatty"s quality set up and crafted a subtle and cohesive set, paying respect to the greats such as Perry and King Tubby while finding an originality in Soothsayers" recipe which sets the record apart. Also contributing mixes are Raz Olsher (Giles Peterson , Sam and The Womp) and Malcolm Cato, (Mulato/Heliocentric"s " and Anthony Jospeh"s recent album "Rubber Orchestras").
