Not a typical Mason club banger by any stretch of the imagination 'Boadicea' is the first salvo from the boy's 'They Are Among Us' album. Having built up a steady online buzz via cult blogger Perez Hilton's support this tune has been gathering much internet moss as it rolls through the ether picking up momentum.
This classy electronic mid-tempo showcases the versatility of the Amsterdam based producers and the vocal beauty of Roisin Murphy. Its simple slowly arpeggiating theme over a sexed-up groove creates the perfect palette for Roisin's pure tones soaring majestically over the sonic canvas.
Dutch duo Iason Chronis and Coen Berrier had always been massive fans of Roisin's since hearing her on early Moloko tracks in their formative years. Having sent over a bunch of their latest ideas it wasn't long before the Irish diva was enlisted as another star performer on 'They Are Among Us'.
A heavily pregnant Miss Murphy entered a borrowed London studio and over the course of a day came up with the magical performance on 'Boadicea' somehow inspired by the ancient revolutionary warrior queen! What started life as a slow, deep Italo influenced groove turned into something much more special.
"Working with Roisin was really inspiring" Iason reflects of the recording session. "She breezed into the room and just became this creative machine of ideas as soon as the mic was switched on and stuck in front of her".
'Boadicea' has been taken into the club area by some quality and diverse remixers. Brighton's Evil Nine, give it a stab happy old school house rinse. Even the most stubborn of hands will be air-bound when this one is dropped. Remix maestro of the moment, Oliver $ goes for a bass heavy, jumped-up, driving dancefloor extravangazna! Tony Senghore brings his signature pitching vocal madness to his treatment. Madder than a bag of kittens the Swede warrants a check up from the neck up with his typically loco remix. Danny Howells and Mat Playford opt for a deep and funky disco vibe in contrast. A smooth and relentless head nodder of groovy goodness! The package is rounded off in big room euphoric style with LA's mighty Human Life providing the icing on this very tasty cake.
The now traditional 'Refurb' comes from Animal Language competition winner Tim Brownlow. His complete musical and vocal re-interpretation of the original won through the numerous entries and joins the list of random re-workings from Mason's back catalogue.
Boadicea is taken from Mason's debut album 'They Are Among Us' - Released 4th April

Boadicea Lyrics
Beaten and battle scarred
You have grown weary of your doubtful war.
Epic battles as titans clash
Yet every warrior's heart is only flesh.Boadicea, the real life, Boadicea
Deep within you
Boadicea
You need love, Boadicea
You've been strong for so long
BoadiceaAs the hunter is hunted down
She slays her enemies on sacred ground
The bloody battles have left their scars
yet she will fight the good fight though it breaks her heartBoadicea, the real life, Boadicea
Deep within you
Boadicea
You need love, Boadicea
You've been strong for so long
BoadiceaGot plenty of fight left
We have tonight, left
This is the real test
when finally you rest
Out of the nightmare
Allow me to take care of your needs
Let me wipe away your tearsBoadicea, the real life, Boadicea
Deep within you
Boadicea
You need love, Boadicea
You've been strong for so long
BoadiceaBoadicea, the real life, Boadicea
Deep within you
Boadicea
You need love, Boadicea
You've been strong for so long

Yet every warrior's heart is only flame.Boadicea, surreal life, Boadicea
Deep within you

You need love, Boadicea
You've been strong for so long
BoadiceaAs the hunter is hunted down
She slays her enemies on sacred ground
The bloody battles have left their scars

We're here tonight, led
This is the real test

Out in the night, led
And I'm gonna take care of your needs
And then wipe away your tears - Caribbean_King

I cannot really express my horror every time i checked roisinmurphy.com (or .co.uk) and found
NOTHING! - does anyone know why she gave up her official site?
So suddenly discovering this excellent track absolutely made my day!
it is so much better than Orally Fixated (6/10) or Mommas Place (7/10)
I really was worried.... - philosophy of sound
