Born out of Londons underground clubs and warehouse parties of the mid to late eighties, with the debut single on the Acid Jazz label in 1988, Galliano came out of a culture that spanned music, dance, fashion, art, design, and the written word. Where the old Galliano recycled records they heard at clubs, today they are responding to the kaleidoscopic global jazz scene - from Total Refreshment Centre in London to International Anthem in Chicago. More than forty years since they came together, Galliano are still only Halfway Somewhere, but listening to the album they are obviously having fun getting there. "I think the stars have to be aligned when you redo things," says Gallagher. "Coming at it from this door is very different to the door we came into back then. But once it's existing it is something. But Im still not sure what that something is."
