Andrew Weatherall’s Sabres of Paradise were one of the U.K.’s most celebrated experimental techno groups. A combined effort of Weatherall and collaborators Jagz Kooner and Gary Burns, the group released a flood of singles and EPs, many of which were collected on compilations released by Warp and Weatherall’s other main focus: the Sabrettes label, with releases from Plod and Slab, among others.
Born in Windsor, Berkshire, Weatherall a former refuse collector shares an interest with Led Zeppelins Jimmy Page in the writings of well known occultist Aleister Crowley. This could be reflected in the 12 inch vinyl single, released in the early ninetees, ‘Sugar Daddy.’ Female Jazz type vocals gently open the track moving the listener into a dream state before, building into a frenzy of electronic rythm & a foot stomping club beats which invoke otherworldly realities proving hard to ignore. This being a fine example of the creative genius of The Sabres Of Paradise and a professional knowledge of the use of hypnotic ‘Shamanic’ type beats common to the dance culture. Sugar Daddy is a far cry from the more ambient smoke belch yet remains a lesser known track, (currently missing from the track lists here)
Weatherall, considers himself a DJ first, and his exhausting schedule of deckwork has been arguably as influential as his records, inspiring scores of other DJs and anticipating trends in trance-techno, inelegant dance, and even trip-hop.

They are not unheard of, they were pretty high profile in the 90s, certainly much more high profile than Autechre and the early Warp roster. They did a lot of high profile remix work for some pretty big bands and I think Theme even charted in the UK. The bottom line is that as a band they haven't recorded in a good 15 years and that's unlikely to change, but Andrew Weatherall has been active with his own things for a long long time, with Two Lone Swordsmen and everything else he gets up to.

This is a shout to anyone who might have a decent quality rip of Theme 2 only released on cassette called Select Secret tracks. Released April 1994. I'd love to hear it again, I'd love a decent MP3 copy please?
