1. London-based disc… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name...
1. London-based disc jockeys Justin Langlands and Dave Henley first met in 1986, at the peak of the house scene. Under the moniker Blood Brothers they became stalwarts of the genre. Pressure Drop was born with the singles Feeling Good (Big World, 1990), Back To Back (Big World, 1990), Trancefusion (Big World, 1990).
The style changed with the album Upset (Boombastic, 1992), one of the precursors of trip-hop, the praxis (guest singers, guest rappers, guest horn sections) if not the sound (You're Mine).
The singles Everything'll Be Alright Tomorrow, Big Noise and Unify led to Front Row (Marlboro, 1993), a much more subdued statement of work.
The Eps Tearing The Silence (Hard Hands, 1995) and Up Against The Wall (Wall Of Sound, 1995) were more daring with their dark and jazzy backgrounds.
The album Dusk (Cafe Del Mar, 1996)
A platoon of friends plays saxophone, flute, trumpet, harmonica, clarinet on Elusive (Hard Hands, 1997). Unfortunately the choice of singers (Anita Jarrett, Constantine Wier and Martin Fishley) is not the best. My Friend, Got To Be For Real , Silently Bad Minded expertly mix dub, exotica, bebop and Ennio Morricone.

Promises
Pressure Drop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I played the game of life too long
Days of purple haze surround my eyes
Used abused my path is confused
Sweeter than honey
My vision was once clear
With promises, promises, promises
Pain shows in my eyes
There's something inside
That the world will never see
Remember me
As I used to be
Crowds have watched my face
And the songs of sorrow that it brings
Do I weep to ease my pain ?
Broken wings I've gotta fly
Lost rhymes, I've done my time
Memories have left my mind
My voice was once clear
With promises, promises
Pain shows in my eyes
My heart screams silently
There's something inside
That theworld will never see
Remember me, remember me
Remember me as I used to be
Remember me, remember me, remember me
The lyrics of Pressure Drop's song Promises are about an individual who was once known as the Nightingale, someone with a beautiful voice that enchanted crowds with their songs of sorrow. However, something went wrong in their life, and they played the game of life for too long, leading to days of purple haze that surround their eyes. They were used and abused, and their path in life is confused. Although their vision was once clear, they are now in pain and their heart screams silently. They feel like there's something inside them that the world will never see, reminding listeners to remember them as they used to be.
The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has gone through a challenging time and is now trying to find their way back to who they used to be. They feel broken and lost, with their memories fading away, but they still have a voice and a desire to be remembered. The song shows the importance of remembering people for who they are, not for the mistakes they've made or the challenges they've faced. It's a powerful reminder of how people can lose themselves and how important it is to hold onto our true selves.
