Herbert Reissues Bodily Functions

2001 house album by experimental electronic explorer for reissue in December

Accidental Records have announced that they are to reissue Herbert’s seminal vocal house LP Bodily Functions on 17th December. It will be released as a 2CD set, with one disc featuring the original album in its entirety, and the second disc featuring a set of new remixes, including version of album tracks by the likes of Plaid, Matmos, Dave Aju, DJ Koze and Jamie Lidell.

Bodily Functions, which appeared on a number of ‘end of decade’ type round-up lists at the end of 2010, was recorded in collaboration with Matthew Herbert’s then-wife Dani Siciliano. Alongside her vocals, Herbert constructed the track out of a variety of sampled sounds from the human body (as the album title suggests). Listen to ‘Leave Me Here Now’ below.
