VARIOUS ARTISTS - STEVE MASON PRESENTS: THE ROMANCE OF UNKNOWING
Tax included.
Steve Mason curates the second instalment of the Two Piers ‘Presents’ series with The Romance of Unknowing, a compilation shaped by his belief that music thrives without borders. Drawing on Northern Soul, punk, folk, hip-hop, soul and post-punk, Mason assembles a vivid cross-section of tracks recorded between 1965 and 2005.
His selections move with the same freedom he first experienced at The Kronk in Dunfermline, where DJ Lel Palfrey’s sets leapt from house to hip-hop to reggae before easing into Booker T.’s ‘Green Onions’. That spirit of open-eared exploration runs through the compilation, featuring: Roland Bocquet, Alice Swoboda, Mary Love, Stoney and Meatloaf, Alan Price, Bobby Conn, The Snivelling Shits, Sailor, Supersempfft, Demis Roussos, Ron Rogers, The Staple Singers and many more.
Known for his groundbreaking work with the Beta Band, and later as King Biscuit Time and a solo artist, Mason brings decades of adventurous listening to this expansive set.
