Album Notes

Terry Reid became a legend after his electrifying performances at the Isle of Wight (1970) and Glastonbury (1971 – first edition) festivals. A few lucky fans still remember him playing alongside the Rolling Stones, Cream, Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Alan White, Mick Taylor, Mitch Mitchell... Some of his albums like “River” or “Seed of Memory” have become cult.
A night of July 2008, Guillaume Simon comes across the "Glastonbury Fayre" documentary film. Bewitched by Terry Reid's feats, he sets to search for him and eventually traces him at the frontiers of the Mojave Desert. Once contact is established, the two quickly get along very well. A demo of "Mind Dance" wins over Terry and persuades him to fly again across the Atlantic.
On June 9, 2009, Terry Reid arrives in Paris. The SHINE welcome him in their studio, a basement in the Menilmontant neighbourhood. Originally scheduled for one week, the recording session with a terrific Reid only takes two days!

REVIEWS

Music before style - the annihilation of classification
author: Sebastian Caram (Chile)
It is not often that a contemporary band such as Shine grants us a naturally brewed mixture of different tendencies. Precisely, because when the mixture actually works, the tendencies disappear in synergy, providing a whole which is not lacking in style, but rather, style is a byproduct. So, how do you combine ingredients? you don't, you let them interact, you create something new. The final product of this EP is not the bastard baby of contemporary Trip-Hop and Sixties Rock, but something which escapes classification. The rarest and most valuable characteristic of groundbreaking art. Mind Dance, I'm Here and Feel Right take us back to the raging musical passion of the 60's and 70's through the eminent Terry Reid. It's quite surprising. Reid leaves his teenage high-pitched voice behind, and hits us with the same strength, only through rougher and thicker tones. If you thought this would simply be a new appearence, a new version of Reid's genius, think again. Shine provides the darkness which is far from the hippie blinding lights of the 60's and 70's. Drums rolling, "Feel Right" sinks you in a haze of non-pretentious rock n' roll, with a raw electronic feel to it, that resounds relentlessly, leaving you with a question mark in mind ("what is this?") and the will to move. A tendency of their own, a non-tendency if you will, the unexplainable in music, the seal of creativity. This is not a record for rock n' rollers, trip-hopers or any other sort or class, this is just music for people who dig music. For this, I thank you. My sincerest praises for daring to put up an idea such as this. All of us who groove to Shine and Terry Reid, have now the pleasure of grooving to both. An excellently achieved project, well executed and clean cut, however filled with youngness and strength you can only find in upcoming bands that have no fear of being themseleves. Hope to see more of Shine and Terry Reid in the future, they have much to offer to those who listen.
