Tim "Love" Lee, Shawn Lee, Barry Morgan, Herbie Flowers
New York Trouble / Electric Progression

Album UK 2013 on Tummy Touch label
Electronic and R&B/Soul (Funk, Experimental)

New York Trouble: "Punchy driving soul for both serious and light-hearted contemporary drama". Electric Progression: "Strikingly progressive themes featuring synthesizers, electric piano and rhythm section". The following notes are taken from the Tummy Touch bandcamp page and refer specifically to this release: "Here before you is an album we have wanted to make for quite some time. A total passion play if you will. One for the crate diggers, the beat producers and the Library geekers among us. Step 1 - Somehow find copies of two very rare 1970's KPM 1000 series LPs featuring only the sparse rhythm section of bassist Herbie Flowers and drummer Barry Morgan, rather imaginatively titled Bass Guitar And Percussion Volumes 1 & 2. Step 2 - Set out to faithfully bring the original recordings to their logical conclusion 40 years later by putting our dirty little overdubs all over them! Step 3 - back in your Eames repro chair, slap this platter on your Pioneer and drop the needle baby! For those who don't know, Herbie Flowers & Barry Morgan are giants of the British session and Library worlds. The late Mr. Morgan played with Bowie, Elton John, The Walker brothers, Blue Mink and countless others and Herbie has recorded some of the greatest bass lines in the history of popular music, including Lou Reed "Walk on the wild side" , David Essex "Rock on" and David Bowie "Space Oddity". The original records had bass panned on one side and drums and light percussion panned to the opposite side, and the tracks were usually only one minute in length. We extended them and added missing drum parts, fuzz guitars, spacey synths, percussion, Hammond organ, Rhodes, horns, vibes, marimba, xylophone and even banjo ! Shawn recorded his set, New York Trouble, at his London studio with Pierre Duplan, the incredible French engineer and one half of the Kramford Look. Andy Ross played flute & saxes while Dominic Glover blew his trumpet. Tim added analogue synth madness to Electric Progression at his Brooklyn based studio, All Bright Electric."
