Search - Slam :: Year Zero

Slam, aka Orde Meikle and Stuart McMillan, have taken inspiration from the records that brought them together in the first place; Tom Tom Club, Prince, Mantronix and urban labels like Celluloid and Sugarhill. The music that was literally their `Year Zero'. The result is an album that is their most accomplished to date. They have taken a step back to go forward. After the success of the last album Alien Radio and its collaborations with Dot Allison and Tyrone Palmer, Slam were confident that Year Zero should be song based. Dot Allison and Tyrone Palmer return alongside New York house producer/vocalist Elbee Bad, Hope Grant (aka Soma artist Envoy) and the legendary voices of Anne Saunderson (wife of Detroit techno originator Kevin Saunderson) and Billie Ray Martin. On Year Zero, Slam have made the album they always threatened to make; an album of fully realized songs and future classics.
