Stampede
‘Stampede’ is the first full-length album from Will Holland’s live project, the Quantic Soul Orchestra.
As soon as it hit the shelves back in April 2003, the album was greeted by a wealth of fervent accolades from the music press, club and radio DJs alike.
Joined by an 11-strong band of supremely talented musicians, Will & Co belt out their very own electrifying brand of funk, soul, jazz and afro-beat.
Three of the album’s ten tracks are voiced by Alice Russell, who first appeared alongside will on his second Quantic LP. Of these, a breathtaking cover of 4Hero’s ‘Hold It Down’ remains a highlight in the QSO’s repertoire to this day.
‘Stampede’ also includes a new vocal version of crowd pleaser ‘Super 8’ featuring Jon Hughes.
