Love, Care, Kindness & Dubs by Fred Everything

Following his critically acclaimed album "Love, Care, Kindness & Hope," which was just nominated for Electronic Album of the Year at the JUNO awards, Fred Everything returns with "Love, Care, Kindness & Dubs."

The album opens with Atjazz's futuristic deep afro version of one of its hidden gems, Asolee. His remix is based on a piano hook and analog synth stabs, sitting on a solid groove foundation. The arpeggiator from the original rolls in the background.

The second track is an instrumental version of the opening track of the album "Hope Is On The Horizon." "A Long Dub Coming" is a full re-creation of "A Long Time Coming," featuring Sapele. One of the most celebrated tracks on the album, the tempo has been raised quite significantly to get this double/half tempo dub vibe with plenty of tape echo and spring reverb. "Never" feat. Robert Owens (Alternate Version) is next, with a slight variation on the original rhythm, focusing instead on a 2-step rhythm and a few percussion extras.

Following this is a new arrangement of "Evening Ghost," made exclusively for Fred's live show at MUTEK festival this summer in Montreal, and a dub arrangement of "Moonrise," also inspired by the live performance. The self-explanatory "Something For You" (Instrumental) is next, and the ambient "Beatless Instrumental" version of Soul Love feat is next. Stereo MC's.

"Broken Flute Thing" was written during the album sessions but didn't make the final cut. "A Long Time Coming" makes a second appearance, this time as an instrumental, originally created as a backing track for an interview for Dom Servini's show on Jazz FM in London. The Lazy Dub of "Breathe" feat. James Alexander Bright is the only song on the album that was previously released on the original remix package.

The album concludes with two reprises, "Asolee" and "A Good Day," which make "Love, Care Kindness & Dubs" a perfect companion to the original album.
