Goldman, Vivien
Resolutionary
'Resolutionary' takes us through Vivien's first three musical formations, as a member of The Flying Lizards, a solo artist (remember her single 'Launderette'?) and as one half of the Parisian duo Chantage, with Afro-Parisian chanteuse Eve Blouin. Goldman's synthesis of post-colonial rhythms and experimental sounds are threaded together by her canary vocal tones and womanist themes. Her eclectic musical crew included PiL's John Lydon, Keith Levene and Bruce Smith, avant-gardists Steve Beresford and David Toop, The Raincoats' Vicky Aspinall, the mighty Robert Wyatt, Zaire's Jerry Malekani, Manu Dibango's guitarist, and Viv Albertine of The Slits. The majority of the tracks were produced by dubmaster Adrian Sherwood..
