Rediscover The Daou's classic 1992 debut 'Head Music' with this newly Expanded Deluxe Edition.
'Head Music' introduced the world to The Daou's innovative and exotic, genre-expansive sound. Led by vocalist/lyricist Vanessa Daou and keyboardist/producer Peter Daou, the group forged their own innovative and adventurous, genre-expansive sound melding buoyant soul-funk-rock rhythms, energizing dance grooves, moody ambient electronic flourishes and sophisticated jazzy piano melodies with Vanessa's intelligent poetic lyrics and inimitable, sultry breathy vocals. And while this would be their only studio album, the 9-track fete would establish The Daou as rising stars in the then-burgeoning acid jazz, trip hop and chill out/lounge scenes, largely aided by lead single "Surrender Yourself".
In fact, it would be superstar producer/remixer Danny Tenaglia's mind-blowing rework of "Surrender Yourself" that would catapult The Daou - and Danny - into the international spotlight cementing their status as preeminent dance music visionaries. Clocking in at a mind-blowing 13-and-a-half minutes, Tenaglia's epic "Ballroom Mix" was an unrelenting dance floor juggernaut that soared to #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, where it remained for an impressive 11 weeks! Since then, the peerless masterpiece has become one of the most definitive, influential and timeless anthems of the classic 90s house "Golden Age".
This Expanded Deluxe Edition brings together the remastered original album along with the complete set of Danny's groundbreaking "Surrender Yourself" remixes - including the seminal "Ballroom Mix", "Original Un-Edited Ballroom Mix", "Ballroom Revisited" and "Factory Reprise" - onto one essential collection for the first time!
The album remains an important footnote in the history and development of contemporary electronic dance music. It not only bridged the gap between electronic pop, dance, soul-jazz-funk fusion, psychedelic rock, ambient, trip hop, acid jazz and lounge, it would become the foundation and hallmark of Vanessa and Peter's future musical explorations.
