Product Description
Afterlife Are Back from Basking on Ibiza all Summer Long and Opening Cafe Mambo Along with a Host of Other High Profile Events. Bar De Lune Bring You 'speck of Gold' the Essential Afterlife Album that Brings that Balearic Feel to the Fore with Subtle Rhythms and a Laid Back Aura. This is a Double CD Set that features Remixes from Roger Sanchez, Chris Coco and James Bright.

"This is probably one of the most sophisticated and beautiful CD's I have ever purchased in my life. The lyrics along with the title and group name flow in an almost esoteric fashion. The sound is classy, fun and exciting. I agree with the other reviewer. Definitely the best of 2004 maybe the some of the best out of my collection and I have well over 10k tracks."

"First, let me start saying that I found Afterlife's music thanks to Dannii Minogue. I heard that she worked with a brilliant person called Steven Miller and finally (After searching the album for a long long time) I bought It and I listened to the "Take Me Inside" track - My reaction was something like: "This Is MUSIC !!!!". Afterlife's "Speck Of Gold" could be seriously considered one of the best albums of 2004, not just because the material included on this CD will make you fly, it also has that "Special Touch" that some chill out albums doesn't have. This release has an underground feeling that will make you relax watching a sunset, and listening to this album in a rainy day will take you to "Heaven". Tracks like "How Does It Feel", "Clear Blue Sky" , "Shine", "Miracle" & "Take Me Inside" are the ones who truly represent "Speck Of Gold" as one of the most inspiring CDs of the last 5 years. Overall, you will love this CD if you like Zero 7's music style but this one has an unique and delicious edge. "

Portrait Of Handsworth Riot in 1985 - Pogus Caesar - BBC1 TV . Inside Out.

Broadcast 25 Oct 2010.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey7ijaXv6UQ

Birmingham film maker and photographer Pogus Caesar found himself in the centre of the riots and managed to document these images. The stark black and white photographs featured in the exhibition 'Handsworth Riots - Twenty Summers On' provide a rare, valuable and historical record of the raw emotion, heartbreak and violence that unfolded during those dark and fateful days in September 1985.
