"The Mummy"

This goes out to Mr.PushingTide, as I think he will enjoy it very much. Future Pigeon "The Mummy" visuals by Steve Hanft http://www.futurepigeon.com/ My Space page in post text link above. By way of Los Angeles, California, Future Pigeon are an eight piece Punk/Dub outfit with a live sound operator. They draw upon elements of Dub-Reggae, Psychedelic Rock, Afro-Beat, and Death Disco. Taking the experimental slant of Lee Perry and Can, and fusing it with the Punk sensibilities of The Clash to create a sound all their own, the Pigeon is not content to emulate, but innovate. The year 2000 saw the self-release of their first CD, "Golden State of Dub". Following up with a 7" on Rhystop and a 10" on Dim Mak, the band is now releasing their second full length album on Record Collection, "The Echodelic Sounds of Future Pigeon". With this album Future Pigeon truly pushes the envelope of it's sound. Dubbing harder, heavier and meaner than ever before. Enlisting the help of such Reggae luminaries as Rankin' Joe and Mikey Dread (who's work with the Clash is the stuff of legend) they gave birth to an album the likes of which the world has never seen.
