First published in 1960, The Sabres Of Paradise is an account of Imam Shamil’s defence of the Caucasus against Tsarist incursions in 1834.
Sabresonic was the club night Andrew Weatherall hosted in the railway arches near London Bridge between 1993–94.
“Smokebelch I” is more aggressive than persuasive, all menacing bass, hammering fills and a snapping hi-hat.
Its sibling “Smokebelch II (Beatless Mix)” reworks US producer Lamont ‘LB Bad’ Booker’s “The New Age Of Faith” into a sublime chorale.
