A new flavour from Backroom Beats has been created. Beautiful production and chilled out grooves, featuring the fantastic voice of 'The Duchess' Western Rebel Alliance has nothing to do with Star Wars as many people seem to think, but is a collection of artists from the West of England. Jules Evans, Ronnie Biggs and Joel Chinn provide the programming and the instrumentals, with the ethereal vocals of Paula Crawford aka 'The Duchess' being produced by Jules Evans (Muki, Underwolves) and Professor Stretch (Underwolves) who have between them worked with artists such as Simply Red, Mark Morrison, DMX, 50 Cent and Sugababes. We can safely say that these guys know how to produce a record. Western Rebel Alliance, renowned for their deep space non-invasive character, used to release incredible chill out tracks through the now extinct Flying Rhino Records. Hypnotic, gorgeous guitar melodies would wobble out of a black hole, give you a quiet kiss on the ear lobe and evaporate as peacefully as they came. Interstellar whales would float past uttering their solemn cries. However it still fitted quite nicely into the genre of psychedelic ambient music. However, this album is harder to classify. Zero 7 meets Morcheeba with a touch of psychedelia.
