Brixton country-techno types Alabama 3 are releasing an acoustic MTV Unplugged style compilation, including a bluegrass-style version of their Soprano's theme tune Woke Up This Morning and a new rendition of their anthem U Don't Danse To Tekno Anymore.

Speaking about the new album, band leader Larry Love confirmed that tapping into dance music's social power remains a central aspect of the band's philosophy.

"Dance music, back in the day, was about cracking underground warehouses, getting in trouble with the law and people going to prison for fucking Es (ecstasy) and there was a renegade attitude in that," he said.

"All those fucking glossy dance mags and star DJs and superclubs and girls in fluffy bras- I mean, fair enough, people want to do that, but for us, it's about something else."

Last Train To Mashville (the acoustic album) is out shortly on One Little Indian Records.
