Earthling

Mid-90s Bristol-based outfit comprising Tim Saul (producer) and Mau (MC). Vocalists Moni and Segun were frequent collaborators, as was - particularly - co-producer and multi-instrumentalist Edison. Earthling were closely associated with other Bristol acts, particularly Portishead; Geoff Barrow appeared on their debut LP, Radar. They were dropped by EMI prior to the release of their second album, Humandust, which was eventually issued in 2004 on the French Discograph label. The line-up sometimes also included jazz vocalist and dancer, Segun as well as bassist, Andy Edison, and scratch DJ The Dazzler.
