HERBERT
100LBS SPECIAL EDITION
!K7

100lbs has proved to be something of a slow burner, critically acclaimed on its release eleven years ago but overlooked in terms of its influential powers. At this point Herbert’s speciality was deep house with funky basslines and ultra cool keyboard riffs and chords. Supporting this would be a drum track that proved impossible to shake off as it shuffled around the dancefloor. !K7 have given this album the respect it deserves with this reissue, and will delight fans with a bonus CD of rarities and offcuts, such as the nutty ‘No More Borders’ or the softly nocturnal ‘I’ll Do It’. Even if you have the album, this is definitely worth getting.
