{"product_id":"dave-angel-a-time-and-place","title":"Dave Angel - A Time And Place","description":"\u003cp\u003eBritish electronic music pioneer \u003cstrong\u003eDave Angel\u003c\/strong\u003e returns to R\u0026amp;S Records with \u003cem\u003eA Time And Place\u003c\/em\u003e, his first full-length album release for the seminal Belgian label. Arriving thirty-five years after Dave first joined the R\u0026amp;S family, the album reunites one of UK techno's defining voices with the imprint that helped launch his career, renewing one of electronic music's most enduring creative partnerships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat relationship began in 1991, when R\u0026amp;S founder Renaat Vandepapeliere discovered Angel's \u003cem\u003eRolling Thunder\u003c\/em\u003e project and invited the young London producer to Belgium. Personally welcoming him into the R\u0026amp;S family alongside a new generation of forward-thinking electronic artists, Vandepapeliere released the landmark \u003cem\u003e1st Voyage\u003c\/em\u003e EP, helping establish Dave Angel as one of British techno's most distinctive new voices. A succession of acclaimed releases followed, including \u003cem\u003eStairway To Heaven\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e3rd Voyage\u003c\/em\u003e, appearances on the influential \u003cem\u003eIn Order To Dance\u003c\/em\u003e compilation series, and releases on sister imprint Apollo, charting an artistic partnership that helped shape both Angel's career and the wider evolution of UK techno.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree and a half decades later, \u003cem\u003eA Time And Place\u003c\/em\u003e feels less like a return than the continuation of a conversation left unfinished. Rather than revisiting former achievements, the album reflects the perspective of an artist whose creative journey has continued to evolve. Reconnecting with the label that first championed his work, Angel delivers his most personal and musically expansive statement to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross fifteen compositions, \u003cem\u003eA Time And Place\u003c\/em\u003e reaches beyond the conventions of techno to reveal the full breadth of Angel's musical identity. Drawing on jazz, soul, improvisation and richly textured electronic production, the album balances rhythmic precision with warmth, melody and emotional depth. Reflections on family, heritage, nature and the communities that have shaped his life sit alongside broader observations of the world around him, creating a body of work that feels both intimate and expansive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat openness is reflected in a carefully chosen cast of collaborators. Celebrated trumpeter \u003cstrong\u003eSteve Waterman\u003c\/strong\u003e features on both \u003cem\u003eRéflexion\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Yellow Butterfly\u003c\/em\u003e, bringing a lyrical, Miles Davis-inspired voice to the album after first catching Angel's attention through his work on \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Hazel\u003c\/strong\u003e's \u003cem\u003eOut Of This World\u003c\/em\u003e. Elsewhere, legendary Chicago vocalist \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Owens\u003c\/strong\u003e appears on \u003cem\u003eHarmony Serenade\u003c\/em\u003e, while guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eMerv Carswell\u003c\/strong\u003e and vocalist \u003cstrong\u003eAurii Sky\u003c\/strong\u003e (Dave’s daughter, adding a poignant family connection) add further colour and texture to a record rooted in musicianship and shared expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Dave Angel's influence on British electronic music has long been established, \u003cem\u003eA Time And Place\u003c\/em\u003e reveals another dimension of an artist whose foundations were laid long before techno. Raised in a household immersed in live music and jazz culture, Angel has spent a lifetime absorbing sounds beyond the club, allowing those influences to surface naturally throughout a career defined by curiosity rather than convention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor R\u0026amp;S Records, the album renews a relationship that stretches back to the label's formative years. For Dave Angel, it reflects both the path travelled and the road ahead. Thirty-five years after \u003cem\u003e1st Voyage\u003c\/em\u003e first announced his arrival, \u003cem\u003eA Time And Place\u003c\/em\u003e reunites artist and label with the same forward-looking spirit that brought them together in 1991, proof that the strongest creative partnerships continue to evolve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"R\u0026S RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"140g Black Vinyl 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve","offer_id":58836682342745,"sku":"SDZ-50421","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/dave.png?v=1786633589","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/dave-angel-a-time-and-place","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
