‘Repatriation of the Midnight Moors’ is a 12-minute Beat-and-Bass remix variation of the Oakanda suite produced, composed and arranged by longtime Burnt Sugar guest drummer and arrangement collaborator, Marque Gilmore tha’ Inna•Most.
Gilmore has a relationship with several Burnt Sugar members that goes back to the formative years as a founder-member of the Black Rock Coalition in 80s and 90s Gotham.
Brother Gilmore drew on discrete musical elements and thematic impulses of Angel’s long-form version to create a wholly original work — one which distills the artist’s deep history in Cambridge, as a teen in his father Marvin Gilmore’s reggae-centric club The Western Front where he met Jared Michael Nickerson, and then later in New York with the BRC-massive where he met Greg Tate. Gilmore and Tate also performing in a band together during those times … Women In Love.
Marque followed his NYC-days with a 14-year stint in London being a pioneering member of its Black Poetic and Drum’n’Bass communities from the mid- 90s (alongside such now well-known UK literary pillars as Roger Robinson and Malaika B), along with his journeyman tenure with Joe Zawinul in the post-millennial oughts, through to his decade of contributions to the touring ensemble and Grammy nominations for his production work with Cuban pianist Omar Sosa.
About ‘Repatriations’ Gilmore has this to say: I am truly humbled and honored each and every time I am invited as a guest artist with Burnt Sugar, and even with my Acousti-Lectric drum-arrangement infusions, I have YET to hold that Dang-Blessed BATON! So, I created a full-length remix suite entitled: “The Reconstru-Ducted Repatriation Road-Rage ReMiXeS” – Based on my Live-Remix production style (preserving an artist’s live performances and ensemble instrumentation), I basically re-conducted the entire Oakanda affair digitally and created the beat-structures and harmonic production utilizing the combined sciences of Archeo-Astronomy and ancient Sumerian time-keeping (hence, the 12-minute remix of ‘Midnight Moors’) connected to Vibez on the long road ahead in The Struggle with contemporary BLM-based activist thought in the titles and text. Thank You, BSAC!
‘Repatriation’ is also remix #2 extracted from a 5-track, 41-minute ReMiX MiXTaPe Suite of its own to be released early next year.
