Which regular sound?? Their first album (Sabresonic) was a mixture of
trancey techno, 1993 style, and slower dubby tracks. the faster ones are
king of like a lot of the remixes (eg Espiritu, Utah Saints(the 130bpm one,
that is). The slow ones are sort of the same but at half the tempo. Also
worth checking out from that era are the SoP label compilations (Deep
Cuts(UK, Sabres of Paradise recs.) and Septic Cuts (US version on FFRR)).
The second album (Haunted Dancehall) is hardly recognisable as the same
band, having no trance/techno and no 4/4 beats. if you've heard Wilmot and
Theme then the rest of the album is kind of like that. Slightly 'trip-hop'
(sorry to use that phrase) in places. A lot of people didn't like either of
the albums, but then weatherall has never really been to everyone's taste.

No. The Aloof includes Jagz Kooner and Gary Burns, who were in SoP, and
Richard Thair who's also the drummer in Red Snapper. Dean Thatcher is in
The Aloof, and used to be in Red Snapper too. Still with em? Pay
attention... Red Snapper are on Warp, as SoP used to be, and Two Lone
Swordsmen are now. Information about SoP, TLS, The Aloof and Red Snapper
(not to mention David Holmes too) can be found at

There should be sampes of the new DC Fumes (latest TLS alias) EP.
I hope the SoP/Weatherall/all the rest of them clan makes a bit more sense
now. Of course I've not yet dragged in Kris Needs, Boys Own and the rest of
them....
cheers,
Jon
