Little Axe

Return (essentials & Remixes)

Compilation album, featuring the early works of Little Axe, plus bonus tracks. 6-panel digipak release, strictly limited to 999 copies worldwide. Skip McDonald has been the prime mover behind Little Axe since around 1992. Joined by his Sugarhill- and On-U Sound collaborators Doug Wimbish, Keith LeBlanc and Adrian Sherwood, they set out to give blues music a much-appreciated contemporary makeover, adding samples, dub, dancefloor and electronics into the mix to create hypnotic music. Under a name inspired by Bob Marley's Small Axe and gospel singer Willmer 'Little Ax' Broadnax, the debut album "Wolf That House Built" was a personal take on blues and dub, and was released to critical acclaim in 1994. This was followed by a partial release in Japan compiled in a slightly different form and with a different title ("Never Tum Back") the previous year. The second Little Axe album, "Slow Fuse", was also well received. Now , R E T U R N" is the essence of those first two albums (digital remastered) and very sensitive compiled with remixes, rarities (two tracks are unreleased out of that sessions, = #) .
