cd version with bonus tracks. electronic duo cage and aviary release their debut album 'migration' on prins thomas' internasjonal imprint. cage and aviary take flights of fancy whenever they can. jamie paton is a dj, and nigel of bermondsey is a musician. having put out releases on dissident distribution, dfa, tiny sticks and astro lab, their own label, the walls have ears, is slowly carving out a reputation for quality dubbed-out dance music too - the cage and aviary remix series has met with great critical acclaim thus far, with the likes of andy blake, prins thomas, horse meat disco, mock n toof, bill brewster, tim sweeney, james murphy, tiga, erol alkan and other such luminaries counted as fans of their work. now the feathered friends are set to take a new flight of fancy as they unveil their debut album, aptly titled. from the opening rolling, cinematic sheen of 'migration's 'giorgio carpenter (director's cut)', that openly wears its influences on its sleeve, to the cosmically spaced out funk of 'in todd we trust', and the slo-mo, disco-not-disco of 'good egg, bad apple', the pair spread their production wings across the dancefloor. finally, the duo sign off with the protohouse groove of 'lean on me', which features guest vocalist denise johnson (of 'screamadelica' and a certain ratio fame).
