Emotional Rescue returns to the works of Steve Coe and the Indipop label for more dance infused world music. The cosmic anthem of Mysteries Of The East is present here for the first time alongside the 1988 “Mecca Mix”, featuring additional vocals from the spellbinding Sheila Chandra.

A planned reissue for many years, the untimely passing of Steve Coe shortly after the label’s rerelease of The Ganges Orchestra’s The Dream put everything on hold. However, time moves and so now seems a fitting time to revisit this “world dance” classic with fonder hearts.

Long cherished, it is a reminder of Steve’s enduring studio mastery. After the initial success of his work with Sheila Chandra in Monsoon, Steve expanded his musical scope, working on an Indipop compilation as clubs looked to Eastern flavours to add a new dimension for the dancefloor.

Teaming up with tabla disciple turned teacher, Jhalib (Millar), as well as long time collaborator Martin Smith, it’s hard to imagine Mysteries was first heard in 1982. Hailed as an all time classic, it’s enduring appeal can be seen in how it became a staple for the likes of Danielle Baldelli at the infamous Cosmic club and beyond to become an original Evissa “balearic” secret play for Weatherall & co in those fateful summers of love and beyond.

Remastered especially for this release, the orchestral Eastern melody and mid-tempo chugging rhythms and vocals marry in perfection with a dub bassline of Wobble inspired depth.

This alone would be enough, however, the original is at last backed with the 1988 remix. Aimed at the then burgeoning New Beat scene, a subtle straightening kick is added, but it’s the unmistakable vocals of Sheila Chandra that finally brings this release together in melodic harmony. Peace be with you Steve. I AM.
