{"product_id":"mercury-rising","title":"Mercury Rising: Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e‘Mercury Rising’ is the third studio album to be released by Rae \u0026amp; Christian. The duo weave together exceptional musicianship paired with a British song writing sensibility and the finest elements of studio production. ‘Mercury Rising’ was created at producer\/musician Steve Christian’s studio in Yorkshire with additional recording at songwriter\/vocalist\/DJ Mark Rae’s London base. In London a song writing bond was formed with Ed Harcourt and Gita Langley who make excellent contributions with vocals, songs, strings and keys. Sam Genders of Diagrams threads a story of redemption lost on the Ubahn on ‘1975’, Kate Rogers is on imperious form and rising star Jake Emlyn unravels a whole new level of microphone skills on ‘Favourite Game’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe international guests include the one-and-only Jazzy Jeff and Australia’s Agent 86 dealing out world class scratch treatments on ‘Check The Technique’ (Tony D's vocals taken from a session recorded at the birth of Grand Central Records), Brooklyn rapper Masta Ace and Mark Foster of Foster The People, a collaboration born from Mark’s L.A. excursion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Mercury Rising’ is the first new material in many years from R\u0026amp;C. Their 1998 Mercury Music Prize nominated debut ‘Northern Sulphuric Soul’ (\"Vitally fresh and timelessly classic…deserving a place alongside Massive Attack's Blue Lines” Uncut) and 2002’s ‘Sleepwalking’ (\"Another triumph, brimming with soulful, languid grooves, deft samples and well-chosen guest singers” Q Magazine) were both released on their Grand Central Records label (Aim, Riton, Boca 45, Only Child), a defining imprint of the late 90s soul\/funk\/hip-hop\/beats scene. Guest vocalists over the two albums included Bobby Womack, Texas, The Congos, The Pharcyde, The Jungle Brothes and Jeru The Damaja.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49976693391602,"sku":"ALLPD33","price":5.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/SharedImage-88934.jpg?v=1787644804","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/mercury-rising","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
