Pleasure

The creation of Norwegian musician Fred Ball, who was raised in the tiny town of Fredrikstad close to the Swedish border before relocating to London, Britain in the later 90s. Ball expresses his early musical affects as Boney M. , Kiss, Prince, Michael Jackson and much more unusually Yes and ELO, and hearing Pleasure’s 2003 self-titled debut record components of these performers can be noticed by the bucket load, from thumping bass to electro squiggles through to amazing synth solos. Ball also got Doctor Fink, who performed of all of Prince’s traditional albums within the 80s, to accomplish a single on the ultimate monitor ‘The Visionary’. He proceeded to go even more in assembling superstar names not easily assimilated along with his undertake electro pop. On ‘Don’t Appear The Other Method’, the business lead vocals had been sublimely shipped by Britpop vocalist Justine Frischmann (Elastica), her tone of voice tweaked to squeeze in using the silky electro groove. Another quite astounding cooperation with Cerys Matthews (ex-lead vocalist of Catatonia) within the folk-tinged ‘Tales’, resulted in Ball co-writing some songs for Matthews’ single recording. Indie crooner Ed Harcourt also came out, performing and playing Moog on ‘From THE UNITED STATES To The Town’.
