Big Chill roundup

So, Big Chill was smashing. Lots of great bands, some incredible extra stuff [big ups to the orbs, thank you for a great Friday night ;-)] and in general a great weekend with top notch company.
Everyday this week I'm going to feature a song from a band that I saw at Big Chill and implore you to check out.

So, to kick us off is Martina Topley Bird. Singer with Massive Attack as well as reasonably prolific in her own right, Martina Topley Bird was my first band of the weekend and was breathtaking. I've never heard her work outside Massive Attack before and was suitably impressed by her and her ninja drummer.
Standout track of the performance and her work for me is Poison, originally released in 2008, Poison has been reworked for her new album and is a stunner.




Check out this thumping remix too, already in my next PA set (whenever that may be)
