Zim Zam Zim

73 years young, the original god of hellfire returns with very probably the most surprising and astonishing album of his career, and his first in 10 years. A cross-generational outing with Jim Mortimore and Sam Walker, this is a joyous, triumphant, energetic and and ambitious tour de force that shows Arthur to be more relevant today than when he had his number one hit with 'Fire' and was pioneering Electronica. A genre- spanning, time-travelling, world-bending, heavy-grooving and massively eclectic collection of songs with Arthur's vital, soulful and acrobatic voice at its heart. He creeps up behind like the original war-painted mighty boosh, kicking the likes of Tom Waits and Screamin' Jay Hawkins into the orchestra pit. A celebration of life, he knows the unknown and the unknown knows him. Take note.
