  • The Legend of the 7 Black Tentacles - Vol.1: "Let's Begin, Now"
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    "Let's Begin, Now is the debut EP from Sheffield's own 7 Black Tentacles. An unusual combination of musicians that includes a cellist, a scratch DJ and an MC. On top of the backline of Drums, Bass and Keyboard. It is recorded in the spirit of Expermentation making each track seperate and distinct from the next but tied together with interludes that narrate the story of the 7 Black Tentacles.

    Let's Begin, Now" sees the Legend of the 7 Black Tentacles establish their own style without becoming samey or predictable, and whislt it doesn't always capture the intensity of their live performances, it is a decent indication of the ambitious scope of the project and the genre melding that it has become known for. The legend continues..."
    - Sam Walby

    Includes remixes from Kid Kanevil and M.I. LOKI.

about

“This experimental clash of classical music and hip hop works brilliantly, and their live shows are fantastic to watch, combining jazz shronking with edgy beats, live sampling and scratch.” The Metro

“Breaks, interludes, stops and starts which would make most other bands wet the bed and run crying to mummy… enthralling… a real joy.” - Squareindie

“Genre busting, deeply intense… massive swirling soundscapes that DJ Shadow might have crafted… Grab any chance you can to see them live. They will not disappoint.” - Sheffield Music Scene Magazine
