In 1983 British impresario Malcolm McLaren released Duck Rock, an album which mixed up influences from Africa and America, including hip-hop. The album proved to be highly influential in bringing hip-hop to a wider audience in the UK. Two of the singles from the album ("Buffalo Gals" and "Double Dutch") became major chart hits on both sides of the Atlantic.
Guest musicians featured on this album include Trevor Horn, Anne Dudley, J.J. Jeczalik. Side recordings that these three artists did in-between Duck Rock takes would eventually become the first album for Art of Noise.
Duck Rock has ultimately become a critical favorite in many music critics' eyes, having garnered such accolades as BBC Two's "Critical Music" label [1], and others [2].
