Acid Brass was a musical collaboration between Turner-Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller and the Stockport- based Williams Fairey Brass Band. The project was based on fusing the music of a traditional brass band with Acid House and Detroit techno. Deller saw a connection between the two apparently disparate genres, viewing them as "two authentic forms of folk art rooted in specific (working class) communities". The music has since been taken all over the world and was performed by the Fairey Band before a London crowd of 25,000 in July 2005. This track is a cover version of The KLF'S 'What Time Is Love?' (1988). Classic stuff...
