The Sabres Of Paradise

Dub-influenced leftfield electronic trio comprising [a=Andrew Weatherall], [a=Gary Burns], and [a=Jagz Kooner], established in 1992. The group formed out of a series of fruitful remix collaborations done before the name "Sabres Of Paradise" was used — including "Papua New Guinea" by [a=The Future Sound Of London], [a=Flowered Up]'s epic baggy journey "Weekender" (renamed "Weatherall's Weekender" over two drastically reworked and extended balearic house/dub remixes), and [a=The Moody Boys]' "Centre Of The World". The group released its own material starting in 1993 but was known more for a series of adventurous remixes of other artists under the Sabres name. When the trio disbanded in 1995, Weatherall went on to form [a=Two Lone Swordsmen] with producer/engineer [a=Keith Tenniswood], while Kooner and Burns joined [a=The Aloof].
