Nightmares of course is not confined to the last century, directing the masses in 2002 to an addictive urban brew of pop, dancehall and old-soul that was Mind Elevation, infecting the airwaves that following summer with the sweet vocals, lush chimes and lolloping hip-hop beats of Know My Name and 70's / 80's.
Once again, the Nightmares seal is evident; rhythms infectious in their simplicity, blues infused time signatures overlaid by Quincy Jones-esque synth lines and the inherent fusion of relaxed dub and Balearic melodies.
Progression and development is the prime motivation of Nightmares on Wax: "Today's music is inspired by what's gone on before and that is what fascinates me. Following on in that tradition I am inspired by the old and want to evolve it into something new.

Nightmares On Wax, is a pioneer of Bristol's trip-hop, even if A Word Of Science (Warp, 1991), featuring Aftermath, and especially the elegant Smokers Delight (Wax Trax, 1995) sound more like 1970s' funk-jazz (A Night's Interlude).
Carboot Soul (Warp, 1999), which was released again four years after the previous one, adds a couple of soul ballads (neither worth of being mentioned) and a touch of world-music (Arghanoah) to the usual laid-back lullabies (Morse).

The lights have dimmed and the final leg of Nightmares On Wax's three date UK tour is about to begin.
George Evelyn, the man behind the name, wants his shows to be "amazing, exclusive gigs", and as the background screen lights up with a slowly moving starscape, the feeling is it just might be.
As Evelyn says as he dances across the stage, "it used to be in the ass, now it's in the shoulders", and the slow-grooving crowd agree.

 nightmares on wax, the sweetest
George Evelyn (aka Nightmares On Wax) has retreated firmly into the fug which first spawned his smoke-shrouded sound - eschewing Lunnpoly pop and returning to the trademark vibrations that served so well on 'Carboot Soul' and 'Smokers Delight'.
Sounding so much like Nightmares On Wax you could recognise them from ten miles away, this piece of candy-red vinyl features album cuts 'The Sweetest' and 'Thaihi' - with the A indulging in some addictive bass excursions and mealy breaks, whilst on the back the paranoia sets in as the electronic bugs approach.
Languid, smooth and with a teasingly elusive female vocal, 'The Sweetest' may be NoW by numbers - but when it sounds as beatific as this, we're willing to let it pass for seven inches.

Forming in the late '80s in West Yorkshire as an extension of Evelyn and company's b-boy crew the Soul City Rockers, NOW's first singles, "Dextrous" and "Aftermath," were both highly regarded, and the latter shot into the pop singles Top 40.
The subsequent album laid a good deal of the groundwork for the downtempo experimental hip-hop/electro-funk worked over by Mike Paradinas, Luke Vibert, Spacer, and others, and earned the group a secure spot among techno's select crew of next-step innovators.
