One Colour

. Welcome to the second Long Player from the much rated Up, Bustle and Out, a soup of many funky tongues lovingly stirred by the quill of Senor Roody. Here is a band that is intelligent enough to dig deep into the ground and find common root all over the world....
Music - to move ya. From the raw, dirty sound of previous singles "The Revolutionary Woman of the Windmill" and "Hand of Contraband", to homages to lands different from our own...check "Three Drunk Musicians" for the groove laid down Peruvian stylee.

Mexican Sessions

If you have seen the films 'Amores Perros', 'Volveras' or 'Raising Victor Vargas' & heard 'Control Machete' or 'Cypress Hill' - then this is a Latin Street Production ahead of its time that will reach you. Feat. Blanquito Man & Fragment Crew (NYC), Control Machete & Sistema Local (Mexico), Romanowski, Switchstance Records (Germany). Loved by KCRW DJs. This is our simple, sensational sound...  

Pre-Ninja Series

. For the first time ever, we are compiling our earliest vinyl recordings and it's time to offer them to the digital market. Some of UB&O were just 18 years old at the time of recording and the Sessions found here are rare and were never released on albums, or CDs. They were mostly 12s recorded at a time when UB&O were playing them on Pirate Radio Stations and it is evident that an ear for writing and producing quality music was the first foundation stone laid. Always sharing a global vision, UB&O's first recording was in French with Flutes, sax, keyboards, tons of experimental percussion, Spanish guitars & vocals - ALL flavour this portrait of the Pre-Ninja Tune Days... (All tracks taken from vinyl except *)

Urban Evacuation

Studio sessions were originally pressed in Kingston, Jamaica as limited 7" singles (copies available on our Mailorder page). Sessions involved Latin percussionists, Double Bass by Jim Barr (Portishead Band, UK), Jamaican DJ Mexican, Premier Jazz blowers like Andy Sheppard & Andy Hague, Portuguese & Angolan Soul Singers, Dubby Indian beats by Nitin Sawhney, & Dub Poets:
"To wake up on a glorious morning, Stretch and see the sun, Put water to I lips, Breath air to I mind... The simple soul that I am "
