The Egg have released 3 albums; the 1st two on China Records 'Albumen' (get it?) in 1996, then 'Travelator' in 1998 and most recently 'Forwards' in 2004 on Squarepeg Records. Their first Album 'Albumen' was more strictly dance/post acid jazz, funk/ambient instrumentals, played live, and reflecting the live set. The 2nd album 'Travelator', was more influenced by Big Beat, more heavily club orientated and had more songs. it was produced by Tim Holmes. Recently the band's third album 'Forwards' has seen a more reflective slower sound, band also in places heavier and rockier than anything before. Also more of a psychedelic warmth holding different eclectic influences together. Recent reviews suggest they were like 'New Order floating on a cloud' (Observer Music Monthly). Review: http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/release/gz63/ However, live, the band have kept their full on dance and festival style fully intact, with a full interactive film and video synchronised show with visual created by Todd Graft including live video mixing (www.microchunk.com). Remixes of The Egg have included 'Getting Away With It' remixed by Rollo (Faithless), Fila Brazillia, the Next Men. Early releases on Cup of Tea Records in Bristol (rare vinyl only) include Static Sound System & Monk & Cannatella. More recently, since releases on Squarepeg Records remixes have been by Grand National, Mylo, Tocadisco, Atomic Hooligan, Dusty Kid and Cicada. The Tocadisco remix of Walking Away was already a massive club hit by mid 2006, becoming a key track in the crossover of Electro House into the mainstream. Helped along by its appearance on the Citroen C4 advert, and with the addition of the bootleg vocals of David Guetta's track 'Love Don't Let Me Go', it propelled the new track to No 3 in UK Charts released by Gut Records in August 06. This is a band simply not to be missed.Max Sedgley & The Shoots - Max Sedgley's career to date has been a tale of unabashed talent, irregular bouts of what Hollywood folk like to call serendipity and bloody hard work. That the man behind 'Happy', one of this century's most enduring clarion calls, is blessed with an uncanny knack for fashioning infectious, dancefloor-slaying nuggets goes without saying. However, Sedgley has had to persevere - he's earned his rhythmical stripes alright.Max was always going to be a drummer. As a baby he was always hitting things. As a budding young drummer at school, his music teacher was friendly with one of this country's greatest ever percussionists, James Blades who passed on his expertise to Max.Having released tracks on labels such as Second Skin, Om, Irma and Cookin' Records, and having drummed with the likes of d'n'b guru Roni Size amongst many others, he is a man of unique talents. His aim to "combine the analogue and the digital; the real and the electronic" so that "no matter what style it was it would always seem current" has been achieved.The now club classic 'Happy' which everyone seems to know, was adopted by the disparate likes of Mr Scruff, Gilles Peterson, Erol Alkan and Pete Tong, and the DJs at Radio 1 were all over it like a bad rash. The track of course went onto soundtrack the exploits of Wayne Rooney and company when ITV used it as their main theme for Euro 2004 and after spending 10 weeks being played at Radio 1 reaching the Top 30, it went on to sell a staggering 25,000 copies.You could say that it has become Max’ signature tune but hold on…… Mr Sedgley is no one-trick pony: From The Roots To The Shoots (“It's something which represents my old school influences in the roots and then the shoots is the modern, the colourful and contemporary”) is clear evidence of that. It's a joyous listen; an album enthralled by the possibilities of sound - the album George Clinton would have made if he had been a white South Londoner with a disco fixation. Live it sounds like the best disco workout. With Max in control, the beat will always go on.Ed Meme & The Forms were formed late in 2006 by producer and musician Glenn Fallows (AKA 'Clear' www.myspace.com/whoisclear ) to indulge a love of scratchy, heavy, dirty old funk. Inspired by playing at Madame Jojo's with Keb Darge, whilst doing the circuit in London, and from hunting down some of the whoringest, naughtiest and not-for-the-feint-heartedest funk tracks since, Ed Meme & The Forms has essentially become a cheaper and more pleasurable alternative to going into therapy.
