about
Foundation Music are proud to present EARTH ANGEL - our second project with the formidable talent that is Crooked Man aka legendary DJ Parrot.
More recently Crooked Man's project with internationally renowned new jazz singer Lady Blackbird, Athletes Of God, released two singles on our very own Foundation label, the 6Music B Listed “Don’t Want To Be Normal”, and the clubland hit “Fontella”.
Earth Angel is a project that has its roots way back in Sheffield’s Blues parties and Jive Turkey itself. The club, being a home to all forms of exciting new Black music started in 1985 and carried on through the early days of the UK’s dance explosion. The parties were a melting pot for the best that the world had to offer in soulful, danceable electronic sounds.
Earth Angel sees Crooked Man returns to those heady days of down tempo, body moving, speaker-shaking music that would move the British underground electro/street soul and lovers rock scene in the mid to late 80’s.
The first foray into the world of the Earth Angel is a four songed, nine tracked vinyl EP. Featuring some classic songwriting from the glory days of soul and Crooked Man’s bass-heavy electronic rhythms, it includes originals, versions and expansive dubs.
Welcome to the heavenly world of Earth Angel, the journey starts here.
I had never heard of Luke Una until 2022, when this fantastic compilation appeared on Mr Bongo.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
No country connects the various strands of 20th century Afro-diasporic music & its 21st century derivatives like the UK, especially the veteran selectors with shelves of decade spanning vinyl. So take a trip with one of the UK's deepest collectors & finest DJs, the irrepressible Luke Una as he joins all sorts of dots, sharing hard won musical treasure to the mapless, making the old new & the new make sense - this is a frankly staggering selection of music TheSlowMusicMovement
