Yes, that's right, six time snooker World Championship winner Steve Davis has just put out his debut single, 'Brainsurgeons 3'. Having already established himself as a cult figure in the music world thanks to his DJ sets with Kavus Torabi, the duo have now also teamed up with Coil's Michael J York to form The Utopia Strong. Buckle in, a near-eleven-minute ride awaits.
Torabi and York's musical pedigrees are well established across various outfits (including working together in Guapo) but funnily enough, The Utopia Strong isn't Davis' first foray into recorded music - appearing on Chas & Dave's 'Snooker Loopy', which peaked at #6 on the UK Singles Chart. It is of a considerably different style however, with the contorting experimental electronica of 'Brainsurgeons 3' slowly enveloping the listener into its mystical, bagpipes-featuring world.
