Info for Brother Sister (Remastered & Expanded)

30th Anniversary Reissue: In 1994, The Brand New Heavies shot from underground acid jazz favourites to mainstream success with Brother Sister. Packed with hits – Dream On Dreamer, Midnight At The Oasis, Back To Love and Spend Some TIme – the album balanced sophisticated musicianship with insistent soul grooves, heightened by the gorgeous soul tones of vocalist N’Dea Davenport and the band’s shimmering live feel. Ultimately Brother Sister became their highest peaking album with a #4 UK Chart position leading a strong selection of international chart placings. Its success continued with a BRIT Award nomination for Best Dance Act and an MTV MVA nomination for Dream On Dreamer.

The 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition features the original Brother Sister album, which has been freshly remastered by Tom Parker, feels just as fresh and invigorating as it did all those years ago. The album is completed with three additional tracks: Los Burritos from the US version of the album, and two exemplary B-sides from the era – Baby Don’t Use Me and Touch Of Your Love – both of which demonstrate just how deep their inspiration ran.

Further previously unheard material from the sessions are now shared for the first time. Two deep cut demos particularly stand out: in addition to the previously unreleased version of Put Yourself In My Shoes (Demo ft. N’Dea Davenport & Jan Kincaid) comes the funk-fuelled instrumental jam Pocket Full of Bass (Demo). The disc is completed with a selection of remixes from the likes of David Morales, Roger Sanchez and Bobby D’Ambrosio, some of which have only previously been released on vinyl promos and will now debut on digital platforms. The remix selection is rounded out by a new storming, uplifting rework of Back To Love by Luke Mornay.

"There’s some really great storytelling there – you might have a romantic betrayal, or an uplifting message. Every song has that push-and-pull that creates this dynamic, and I think that’s what a lot of people fell in love with.” Guitarist Simon Bartholomew adds:” “You can hear it all – the human experience, the joy of creating, the struggle, the fun. It’s all in there!” (Andrew Levy)
