This odd track from Civil Disobedience, recorded in 2011, is one of the few collaborations between UNIT members. Normally each member writes his own music and arrangement which the group then performs in accordance with his instructions. This accounts for much of the variety in our work. This piece commenced life as Ode To Wing Chun (which is also available on this site) although the music is ultimately very different to this formative attempt) but Fritz discarded it, still not satisfied with the result. I decided to rescue it so he hadn't wasted his time and energy on it. This is the result. A Dai Lo is the Cantonese term for the dragonhead (boss) of a Triad society while a Gwai Lo is the pejorative Cantonese term for a white person. The central piano solo is based on the famous Minuet for string quintet by Luigi Boccherini.
Luc Tran - Vibraphone, Piano, Keyboards.
Colin Murrell - Casio VL Tone.
Fabian Fritze - Bass Guitar.
and Wong Yit Sinh - Drums.
Music - Fabian Fritze & Andy Martin.

In 2016 we released our 30th album (Fast – Clean – Cheap) and with it an era passed. We realised it is neither necessary nor desirable to continue to issue our work on compact discs. The process is expensive and time consuming (pressing CDs, printing booklets and tray cards, buying jiffy bags, going to the post office – it’s so 1990s) so now Band Camp exists, an avenue is presented by which we can release our work to the public directly. Our projects will be obtainable from this address:
unit-united.bandcamp.com.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The paypal address for our Band Camp and Lulu sites is now [email protected].
In addition there are currently 12 books available. These are proper books in print, not fake, ersatz ‘books’ you see advertised on the internet these days as ‘e-books’. They can be purchased from lulu.com. Type ‘Andy Martin – Grange Hill’ to locate them.
