Polarity/1, the multi-genre artist best known for bold, honest,
hard-hitting songs, is releasing a brand new instrumental record
titled Music From the Other Side. Fitting to the title, the album
consists of smooth, jazzy tracks much different from louder albums
like Yankin' the Food Chain. Polarity/1's music has been incorporated
by dance theaters and documentarists, including Danny Schechter's
feature-length film documentary 'In Debt We Trust and Battery Dance
Company's 26th Annual Downtown Dance Festival last year.

Music From The Other Side is the soundtrack for a dance performance by
Lisbon's Quorum Ballet. The Other Side's principal objective is to
fuse the style and art of the dance of Lisbon and New York. The work
is the collaboration of choreographers Daniel Cardoso, Jonathan
Hollander and Thaddeus Davis, artistic directors of Quorum Ballet,
Battery Dance Company and Wideman/Davis Dance, respectively. Dark,
moody, erotic and aggressive, it explores the theme of oppression,
which has always been an issue for the people on both sides of the
Atlantic. The piece examines the roles of the different agents: the
instigator, the oppressor, the oppressed and the observer.

The most impressive song is the vocals version of "Fulano de Tal,"
included on the album as a bonus track. Also noteworthy is the exotic,
media-infused sound of "Land O' Debbies." The entire albums feels like
the fusion of every type of media coming together to blend spooky,
unique melodies that echo through every track. What really drives the
record, though, is the steady, trance-like beat that proves impossible
to ignore.

The music of Polarity/1 is exactly what the name suggests - "conjoined
opposites," including the new (cutting-edge electronica, hip-hop and
nu-jazz) and the old (roots music of America, including blues, funk,
country and early jazz, Brazil (samba, pagode, etc.) and West African
groove science).
