Read about the Mindsweeper collective.
The band recorded 8 tracks at the studio Al Mirador in Andalusia which is owned by Youth (Killing Joke). Youth joined the band on the track ‘Wheel of Life and Death’ and Doctor Robert from the Blow Monkeys dropped by and put a vocal on ‘Something to Prove’. The band recorded a track by the late much loved and missed Jesus Arias.
The recording sessions were followed by an all-star jam involving all the band, Youth, Jota from Las Planetas & Solea Morente.
The future of these wondrous recordings has yet to be decided. But Outsider says they are ‘fucking great’ and should definitely be the band’s first album together…
The Dacoits are: Antonio Arias (Lagartija Nick), Tymon Dogg (Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros), Richard Dudanski (101ers, PiL, Raincoats, el Doghouse), Jota Jota (Solea Morente’s band), Juan Codorniu (Lagartija Nick).
Here is the list of tracks the band recorded:
Casida (words Federico Garcia Lorca poem, composition Antonio Arias)
Wheel of life and death (Dogg)
Chimney sweep (words William Blake, composition Dogg)
I don’t want to be poor (Dogg)
Nadsat (Jesus Arias)
Conscience money (Dogg)
ESA (Arias)
Something to prove (Dogg)
‘On the 10th anniversary of the death of my extraordinary friend Joe Strummer I’d like to share an un-released track I recorded with The Clash around the time they were making Combat Rock. The full track is 8 minutes long, here is 3 minutes worth, much of it instrumental. The band are playing exceptionally well – Joe and Mick on guitars, Topper on drums and percussion, Paul on bass and me, Tymon Dogg, on keyboard, violin and vocals. During the recording of this song, Joe remarked ‘it sounds like a Casbah’ and Topper, Paul and Joe started shouting ‘Rock the casbah, Man’, joking that the Ayatollah Khomeini wouldn’t like it. So the chorus of one of their most famous tracks was born.’
