Time for a weekly tune! Something that I was thinking about for quite a while lately.
On the wave of new disco-inspired hits, like "Sexy Boy", "Lovefool", "Da Funk" and "Music Sounds Better with You", another memorable hit was "Your Woman" by White Town. Around the same time there was an article about the artist behind this name in "MG", from which I've learned that this song was recorded at home studio by British-Indian Jyoti Mishra and he's built his studio from the equipment that he found in the streets. Indeed, as I'm thinking about it right now, back then a lot of old electronic instruments seemed so useless that people were getting rid of them for ridiculously small money.
When we arrived in Israel, one of the first places that me and my sister visited was the "Picadilly" store on Shatz street, that was already running a closing sale, so a lot of CD's were extremely cheap and we bought a few after 2 hours of digging through shelves. One of which was White Town's album, because my sis loved "Your Woman". Back home we were amazed by the fact that the rest of the album sounds way different from the hit. And actually, all the other songs were much better! Like this one:

Jyoti Mishra is an original "bedroom producer". You may even call him and original hipster, if you wish. Despite his past major success, he continues recording and releasing his music independently to this day. He was one of the first artists I knew that were managing their website and even a sort of blog (it was still 1999, remember). Here it is - really worth checking out!
