Artist:	KING MIDAS SOUND
Title:	Waiting For You
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.50
Catalog #:	HDB 003CD

"After two singles on Hyperdub, and a release on Soul Jazz, King Midas Sound's Waiting For You is the debut album from Roger Robinson and Kevin Martin's new group. In previous collaborations, Roger performed as a highly respected poet, but when he opened his mouth to sing in a fragile falsetto, everything changed and King Midas Sound was born. The signature intensity of their previous solo projects remains, but the mood and feeling is radically different. As opposed to Roger's spoken word pronouncements and The Bug's fierce battleground dancehall, King Midas Sound is more like an opiated after-math." Digipack with a 24-page booklet of lyrics and artwork.

Remixes of King Midas Sound's debut full-length by Kuedo, D-Bridge, Flying Lotus, Gang Gang Dance, Kiki Hitomi, Cooly G, Robert Aiki Aubrey, Joel Ford, Nite Jewel, Hype Williams, Kode 9 & The Spaceape, Mala, Deep Chord presents Echospace, Green Gartside and Ras G & The Afrikan Space Program. "King Midas Sound released their enthralling debut album Waiting For You in the fading light of November 2009. A hypermodern nocturnal take on Lovers Rock, featuring delicate but sour electronic instrumentals topped with Roger Robinson's bitter-sweet falsetto and Kiki Hitomi's fragile voice, it highlighted a hitherto less-exposed side not just of producer Kevin Martin's musical evolution, but that Hyperdub's too."

Title:	Lost
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	7"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	HDB 039EP

"King Midas Sound has been leaving a trail of the dead with their searing live show since their album Waiting For You was released in November 2009. 'Lost' is one of the album's most single-suited moments, released here on Hyperdub's first ever seven inch record. Roger Robinson's lyrics are full of regret and sorrow in the aftermath of a finished relationship, while the beats sound like a long lost RZA production. On the B side, new track 'Frequencies' finds guest vocalist Pupajim versioning on the rhythm from KMS's Cool Out, the French reggae emcee dropping lyrics like a singjay lullaby on his ode to bass frequencies. Limited edition in deluxe full-colour high-grade reverse-board jacket."

Title:	Goodbye Girl
Label:	HYPERDUB (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	HDB 054EP

"This new single features two of the most upfront tracks from King Midas Sound's album project Without You, featuring re-voiced and re-versioned mutations of their debut album Waiting For You. Side A is a mix of 'Goodbye Girl' by Kuedo aka former Vex'd producer Jamie Teasdale, who drags the original's domestic melodrama through a fatigued waltz of droning synths and stumbling drums. Side AA carries a radical new take on 'Earth A Kill Ya' by Mala from Digital Mystikz."
