about

As part of phase 3 (Rare SSR Electronica 1994-01) of our ongoing Crammed Archives digital reissue series, please welcome :
Juryman Playground (Reworks)

Released on SSR between 1997 and 2002, the Juryman trilogy by visionary electro-jazz artist Ian Simmonds provoked the emergence of a devoted core of followers, a kind of international secret society of people who were deeply under the spell of these life-changing albums. Juryman was described in the media as "One of Britain's most vital talents" (Mojo) and "A modern-day Mingus for the nu-jazz generation" (Mixmag), French daily Le Monde went as far as saying that "he's one of the inventors of today's sound, alongside Moby and Tricky", and Muzik described his music by saying that "it's like all the best bits of Gil Scott-Heron, Red Snapper and Ry Cooder rolled together, it bristles with widescreen energy... Elegant, deep, complex and constantly surprising".

With his haunted soundscapes, inimitable talking blues-like vocal style, inspired sharp lyrics, organic blend of electronics and live instrumentation, Juryman created a highly inebriating, soulful mixture which practically defined a new genre.

We’re now extremely happy to present this collection of 16 tracks which, for the most part, have come out on long-deleted records and have never been digitally available.

All produced by Ian Simmonds, they explore different directions of the Juryman world, including radical takes of some of his original pieces.
