Sweet post-punk, with a heartfelt reggae\/funk influence, analog dub effects and lovely femme-vox. A unique slice of late-70s\/early-80s goodness, starring Brenda Ray, whose previous release on EM Records, Walatta [EM1071CD], has been embraced by a large number of listeners. Recorded in North West England, D'Ya Hear Me! Is warm-hearted, open, fresh and slyly experimental. With an independent spirit and a true D.I.Y. soul, these thirteen tracks, originally released in various formats by Ray a.k.a. Brenda Kenny a.k.a. Natalie Sand a.k.a. Polly Rith'm and her musical friends under the moniker(s) Naffi\/Naffi Sandwich, were recorded in a simple home-made studio, making full use of the creative options opened up through the full use of simple means - although the warm, full audio belies any notions of primitivism. Far from media-crazed London, Naffi created a musical world free from lust for the spotlight, focusing solely on the music, and the results are fittingly pure. D'Ya Hear Me! Is a wide-ranging release, with lovely vocal tracks, warm dubs and pleasingly odd instrumentals, all knitted together with a special trans-Atlantic rhythmic sense. Two songs of special interest here are \"Moonbeams\" and the Young Marble Giants-esque \"Everyday Just Another Dream\", which are early versions of \"Starlight\" and \"Another Dream\" from Walatta. Also noteworthy are several previously unissued longer versions of some songs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203626377458,"sku":"EMRD1108.2","price":32.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/2030003.jpg?v=1778843610","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/ray-brenda-d-ya-hear-me-naffi-years-1979-83-music-cd-4560283211082","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
