Beats International feat. Lindy Layton

about

A loose confederation of musicians, the line-up also included vocalists Lindy Layton, Lester Noel, David John-Baptiste, rapper MC Wildski, keyboardist Andy Boucher. Unusually, the band's live line-up also incorporated a graffiti artist, who would paint designs on a backdrop while the musicians played. Their first album, Let Them Eat Bingo spawned the UK number one single "Dub Be Good to Me", a re-working of the S.O.S. Band's hit "Just Be Good to Me", based around a sample of the bassline from The Clash's "Guns of Brixton" and featuring Layton on vocals. The second Beats International album was 1991's Excursion on the Version, which featured a greater use of dub and reggae sounds, but failed to repeat the success of its predecessor. This was the last Beats International recording, with Cook next going on to form Freakpower. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
