D*Note

British experimental dance act. D*Note's blend of Ambient, Nu-Jazz, Drum & Bass, House and rare groove springs from [a55262] (Matt Wienevski) and musical friends consisting of keyboard player [a115515] who records with [a2649], guitarist Keith Osbourne, and others. Vocalists have included [a14920], [a126446], [a19738] of [a14449], [a242942] and more. Other collaborators include scratching from Charlie Lexton as [a760], rappers [a22278] and [a276136]. The debut album [r=24317] had 4 singles, each of which enjoyed good reviews in their day. [r=44657] built on the energy of the debut and included highlights such as the title track, Iniquity Worker and [r=44664] with notable performance by vocalist [a126446]. To avoid confusion with the celebrity [a310446], Anderson now goes by P.Y. Anderson. Anderson also contributed to their eponymous 1997 album [r=58445] moving distinctly towards a house sound with her vocals delivering passion and power in the anthem [r=524913]. [a1096] and [a962] provided top-notch remixes. [r=160143] of 2002 continued in the house dance direction. The sixth D*Note album is more thoughtful and deep. [r=1784742] arrived in 2006 featuring Beth Hirsch; who is well known for her vocals on the first [a2770] album [r=41970]. Laguna features a version of [a90233]'s Edith and the Kingpin among others. It includes several covers described by Winn as "hidden gems, the sort of things that music lovers love finding.... an attempt to use the distinctive D*Note sound and marry it to strong American songs, connecting 70s folk rock with drum & bass." Matt Winn has also made several short films. [r=160144] is one of his soundtracks. He also directed [url=http://www.january2ndthemovie.com]January 2nd, the movie[/url].
