Broadway Project - Band Shot

Memphis' second signing, Broadway Project aka Dan Berridge released a couple of forward thinking, darkly sampledelic albums, Compassion and The Vessel before going off to pastures new at Grand Central.

Currently doing all kinds of wonderful things in the world of soundtracks, and working part time Manuel Almunia and Derrin Brown look-e-likee.

Check -here- and -here-. It's uncanny.

30 March 2009 - Dan Berridge's New Project
Since September 2008, Dan Berridge has decided to turn the Broadway Project's page, and created One Divided Soul.

He says "To avoid any confusion, henceforth, One Divided Soul is now Broadway Project. It always was anyway (it's just me you know). I am proud of the BP heritage and I trust that the those hardy souls who bought into the previous dark-night-of-the-soul will not think I'm having a nervous breakdown. Actually I'm feeling bloody great!"

"It's complex, deeply atmospheric, sometimes dark but deliriously beautiful throughout." - BBC
"Compassion truly stands alone as a solemnly beautiful reminder of human suffering. Though heavy and complex at times, the album speaks of a conscious human spirit full of life and determination." - PopMatters

BIOGRAPHY
A chronic bout of myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome, was the catalyst for Dan Berridge's Broadway Project. An illness without cure that strikes sufferers down with a combination of fatigue and poor concentration often resulting in a subsequent depression, Berridge left his home in London for his parent's house in Sussex to recuperate.

With many sufferers advised to take on something creative, Berridge bought a sampler and, drawing on influences ranging from Tom Waits and Miles Davis through to 1970s jazz-funk, was quick to find his own take on melancholic, instrumental hip-hop for Memphis Industries. His combination of DJ Shadow's cut and paste approach with the '60s film aesthetic of Portishead and the optimism of Saint Etienne saw Berridge conjuring beauty from his overworked Akai sampler, whose bank of stolen sounds blended modern classical, rock solos, and obtuse vocals into a wide-eyed future sound reminiscent of Aphex Twin or Future Sound of London.

A handful of hard to find extended players laid out his musical agenda before the Compassion album filled in the full cinematic majesty of the project. ~ Kingsley Marshall, All Music Guide
