Of Hollywoods two competing Three Musketeers projects — one to be directed by Paul W.S. Anderson the other by Doug Liman — Andersons treatment just took a big galloping lead. A big chunk of cast has been announced as either confirmed or in negotiation including the parts of the titular musketeers their pal dArtagnan and the main villains.On Body Language Volume 9, it’s over to the elder statesman of acid house DJ Hell to forge his own direction. While Hell may seem like a safe choice for a series that has played tastemaker with the likes of Chateau Flight and Junior Boys, his mix isn’t a straight-down-the-line rave-up. Just as Dixon’s effort has endured for its warm ‘back to mine’ feel, Hell’s selections find him thinking outside the club context. After all, the internet is not short of sets ripped from DJ booths every weekend.Collaborating on one of the albums outstanding and most surprising tracks is Boy George, an old mate and near neighbour of Kennedys in North West London who shares his passion for the songs of the late Nick Drake Georges delicate vocal on River Man points to another new direction for Kennedys music – a gentle chamber pop which brings out the understated lyrical tone in his violin playing The other songs on Shhh are all Kennedy originals, ranging from the long instrumental opener, Transfiguration reminiscent of the fusionary flights of John McLaughlins Mahavishnu Orchestra to the dirty funk rock outro Oy The moods along the way vary from the sparse and desolate calm of The Empty Bottle to the uplifting Silver Lining.
