PICKS OF THE WEEK



WHITE HILLS- A LITTLE BLISS FOREVER LP (drug space, usa)
17.98usd/11.07gbp/12.93eur/1728jpy (approx)


*Always striving to push the envelope white hills are back with a new album that will keep its fans guessing. A Little Bliss Forever is a departure for the band. The dense in your face production of early releases is left behind to open the door up to a more airy sound. The two side long tracks are acid drenched spaced out jams that are brooding and moody. Imagine PiL meets Can on a fist full of downers or Les Rallizes DeNudes in a brawl with The Stooges. Guitars are susupended in mid air, drums tumble over themselves, while oozing bass lines sew it all together. The production is immediate and raw. The first pressing of the album sold out within 2 months of it's release. The second pressing comes with different cover artwork, a poster, insert, and is limited to 600 copies. This is release also marks the first outing with Kid Millions, of the Brooklyn based band Oneida, on the drums.

LES AEROPLANES- INPERSONAL NAVIGUANT 12” (mathematics, usa)
9.98usd/6.14gbp/7.18eur/959jpy (approx)


*It's disco from the Mathematics label by way of this French project (not to be confused with Aeraoplane on Eskimo). The title track is a driving house groover with inspirational vocal samples. Total of 4 tracks all mixing disco, house and techno (electro).

JAMAL MOSS- REFLECTION SERIES #2 12” (medusa edits, usa)
9.98usd/6.14gbp/7.18eur/959jpy (approx)


*Repressed… three industrial dance re-edits inspired by the legendary all-ages Chicago night club, Medusa's. The first is an extended nitzer ebb medley b/w re-edits of spk's "mouth 2 mouth" and severed heads' "all day saints". Industrial meets techno! White labels in stickered paper sleeves.

SALLY SHAPIRO- MIRACLE 12” (permanent vacation, germany)
12.98usd/7.99gbp/9.34eur/1247jpy (approx)


*the new Sally Shapiro single continues her perfect blend of 80s-inspired italo disco and twee indie pop - melancholic yet hopeful, sweet yet danceable, it's agreat slice of pop music and comes complete in an extented vocal and instrumental mix, again produced by Johan Agebjörn. On the flipside upcoming producer bogdan irkuk turns the original into a dreamy summer anthem, perfect for your next beach or pool party.

SUBWAY- SUBWAY II 2LP (soul jazz, uk)
24.98usd/15.38gbp/17.97eur/2400jpy (approx)


*Subway II, the debut album by Subway on Soul Jazz Records, is a startling cosmic marriage of influences -- German electronic rock music from the 1970s (Cluster, Kraftwerk, Neu, Harmonia, Ash Ra Tempel), '80s Detroit science fiction techno (Carl Craig, Juan Atkins, Jeff Mills) and a hint of Italian and European disco (Danielle Baldelli meets Cerrone, Space, Moroder and Jean Michel Jarre). Subway are Michael Kirkman and Alan James and have been releasing music since 2000. Subway II was recorded at home in East London using a plethora of analog equipment and techniques that enabled them to create sound reflecting cityscapes such as Berlin, Dussseldorf, Detroit and Paris whilst at the same time creating a contemporary musical commentary of London in 2009. This album is a cosmic progression of post-dance music, focused more on meditative thought and space than one made for the dancefloor, yet still encompassing the rhythm and constant beat at the heart. Their most recent appearance is on Soul Jazz Records Singles 2008-9 alongside Kode9, Digital Mystikz, Tetine, Secondo, Ramadanman and other forward thinking electronic pioneers. With three previous sell-out singles on Soul Jazz Records (Simplex, Satellites and 4410), an album Empty Head (released in 2005) as well as a string of one-off projects, the group are currently name-checked by everyone from Hot Chip to DFA, Prinz Thomas to Carl Craig with good reason. Subway II is a fitting conceptual statement of their current sound. Cosmic, post-dance, organic, meditative and hypnotic.


ROCK AND PSYCHEDELIC



V/A- RARE MOD: A COLLECTION OF 60S UNDERGROUND RHYTHM N BLUES PSYCH & SOUL LP (acid jazz, uk)
19.98usd/12.30gbp/14.37eur/1920jpy (approx)


*Every once in a while a compilation comes along that re-defines the genre. - Nuggets and Pebbles spring to mind; classic collections crafted with care. Cut from the same cloth is Rare Mod. Last year, Acid Jazz released a recently discovered and previously unheard ep from Steve Marriot’s pre-Small Faces outfit – The Moments. The record spent a couple of months in the indie top ten (peaking at number 4). The label’s psyche guru, Richard Searle began a quest to unearth more super rare and unreleased material from the glory days of the mid sixties Mod scene. I am pleased to report that he was successful. The end result is titled simply Rare Mod and features some of the finest unheard gems: tracks that were never released at the time, demos and obscure 45’s that were pulled within days of release. From obscure British soul (Truly Smith) though r n b (The Shots, The Doc Thomas Group), early psyche (The Attack, The Silence) to out-and-out mod classics (Steve Marriott’s Mo-ments, The Shapes Of Things) – all the genres and styles are represented and many of the musicians involved went on to massive success in later years. With mod enjoying its highest profile in a generation, from Weller and Oasis to The Last Shadow Puppets and Twisted Wheel, this album showcases a whole host of brilliant, un-discovered anthems for old hands and new converts alike. Compiled by Richard Searle, Sleevenotes by Lois ‘Mojo’ Wilson. limited edition of 500.

V/A- SUGARLUMPS: A PSYCHEDELIC SELECTION OF GROOVY MOVERS AND SWEET FREAKBEAT LP (acid jazz, uk)
19.98usd/12.30gbp/14.37eur/1920jpy (approx)


*great compilation from a few years back featuring a selection of rare psychedelic classics (some released here for the first time). With appearances from Rod Stewart , Art Wood and Andy Ellison, alongside some of the (then) new movers and groovers currently sporting a paisley shirt. So whether your spinning like a whirling dervish or chilling from a psych fright night… a good trip awaits.

HEADDRESS- LUNES LP (no quarter, usa)
14.98usd/9.22gbp/10.77eur/1439jpy (approx)


*Lunes is the second album by the Texas psychedelic duo Headdress. Written in the desert but recorded during an endless New York City winter, the album is a dark meditation on Americana. Guitarist Caleb Coy and organist Ethan Cook sculpt a cold, expansive sound made ripe for these turbulent times. It’s the blues shaped by the avant-compositions of La Monte Young and Dylan Carlson. It’s drone rooted deep in the American tradition. Headdress formed in 2006. Part heshers, part-American nomads. They self-released their first album Turquoise as a limited CDR and traveled the country, sleeping in cars and dwelling in caves but eventually ending up in New York City. The vinyl only label Mexican Summer reissued the album in September 2008 coinciding with a US tour with Dungen. They entered the studio to record their follow-up soon after. limited edition of 1000.

WHITE HILLS/HEADS- COLLISIONS V.01 LP (rocket recordings, uk)
19.98usd/12.30gbp/14.37eur/1920jpy (approx)


*Rocket Recordings are proud to announce the release of the all new Collision Series. We celebrate Volume 1 of this series by coupling together two monolithic fuzzed transmissions by gods of heavy psychedelia, New Yorks White Hills and the UK legends The Heads. The record surveys both bands voyage towards a single lengthy Incursion, a whole side of burnout bliss. Each track will navigate the listener to explore Rocket flight paths until he/she is gasping for time in the air lock. White Hills ‘I Will Find Peace of Mind’ traces paths explored on previous Rocket favorite Heads on Fire (Launch 029), but this time the journey expands till it kicks the dust storms into a space rock void. The slow pulse of pounding bass and pendulums of fuzz guitar swirl like a battle against unleashed elements, lost in the bottomless depths of the cosmos. Head for the wind, dark and frozen. Finally the whole piece concludes with a field recording gradually fading out into eternity. A parallel previously harvested by the freaks of Finland in the early 70’s. With an all together heavier payload, The Heads ‘Camden Brain Slurry’ pilots further uncharted territory. From the off, the thrust of the entire band pummel the on board circuits until the propulsion dials are teetering in the red, until it’s eventually time to bailout in a free fall haze of fuzz and feeback. Then the fun begins. In microbursts of repetitive transmission’s The Heads signal the ether before the engines are re-fired in hypnotic thrusts of distortion, eventually suffocating you until your brain screams for release. This is when we resume our journey with The Heads marching on in a Krautrock blitz until red eyes have taken them and you have to lower your landing gear.

TORTOISE- BEACONS OF ANCESTORSHIP LP (thrill jockey, usa)
19.98usd/12.30gbp/14.37eur/1920jpy (approx)


*limited edition vinyl version, with download card, currently sold out from the label… The great majority of artists spend their formative years (if not their entire careers) working to shake off the gravitational pull of their predecessors, and the many masters and masterpieces that came before them—what the literary critic Harold Bloom called “the anxiety of influence.” For musicians, in particular, this tendency is especially pronounced, for reasons having to do with the nature of their craft and materials. Unlike the contemporary novelist or filmmaker, say, there is presumably a finite number of choices remaining to the artist making music in the 21st century that have not yet been exhaustively mined after 500 years of popular and semi-popular song. It is for this reason that, when we are asked to describe what a piece of music sounds like, we inevitably talk not about the thing itself, but resort to the trope of metaphor or analogy—“a little Brian Wilson, a little Pink Floyd, a little bit of Kraftwerk.” Rare indeed is the artist who outgrows their early influences, and instead become one of the markers by which other groups are measured. Almost alone among bands of the last two decades, Tortoise is a group that resists easy metaphors and analogies, who can be described as sounding like only themselves and no one else. Twenty years after its founding, the band’s signature and singularly inimitable sound—a fluid intersection of dub, dance, jazz, techno, rock, and classical minimalism, with no part overwhelming or dominating the whole—remains an American and international original. Even more unusually, they seem to have arrived at their sound with almost no apprenticeship to speak of; to judge from their early singles and albums alone, they seem to have come into being with their musical identity and DNA fully formed, like Athena from the forehead of Zeus. Further, while the group has spawned countless imitators, heirs, and followers—sincere, flattering, and otherwise—Tortoise remains unique in the world of contemporary music for their boundless intellectual curiosity, their unmistakable compositional voice, and their synthesis of seemingly contradictory sound worlds far from their doorstep. Beacons of Ancestorship is Tortoise's sixth full-length album, and their first release of new material in five years, since 2004's It's All Around You. In the interim, the group also released and toured behind the 2006 career retrospective box set A Lazarus Taxon, and an album of covers with vocalist Will Oldham by the likes of Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Richard Thompson, and The Minutemen, entitled The Brave and the Bold. Additionally, the individual members have kept busy with various other projects, including but not limited to Exploding Star Orchestra, Bumps, Fflashlights, and Powerhouse Sound. A characteristic Tortoise album is one that traverses an encyclopedia of styles and reference points, a document of where musical intersections and dialogue are occurring at a given moment in time. Beacons of Ancestorship is no different, with nods to techno, punk, electro, lo-fi noise, cut-up beats, heavily processed synths, and mournful, elegiac dirges. We see these ideas working out in compositions like “High Class Slim Came Floatin' In,” an eight-minute track which playfully references the world of ecstatic rave and dance culture with a curiously ambivalent, multi-part suite overlaid with robotic, machine-sounding melodies that stop and start in several different time signatures before the song’s ultimate resolution; and again in “Yinxianghechengqi,” which begins as a straightforward uptempo math-rocker before steadily accelerating into a wall of fuzzy atonal sqwonk. There are many moods, styles, and modes in the Tortoise songbook, of course—often, in the course of a single composition. Consistent throughout, however, is what might be called a pervasive element of group play, or ensemble-mindedness, as opposed to emphasis on a virtuoso soloist or frontman. (Think Robert Altman versus Robert Plant.) In the same sense that the string quartet and all small-ensemble chamber music can be thought of as an intelligent conversation among equals—violins, viola, and cello taking turns, expressing opinions, joining voices and then coming apart, as also occurs in elevated discourse—so, too, the calling card of a Tortoise song is the experience of a sound being worked out as a conversation among the individual and interrelated parts—of an ensemble thinking collectively and in group dynamics through the expression of a multi-layered musical thought. -Ronen Givony

WHITE HILLS- HEADS ON FIRE LP (thrill jockey, usa)
14.98usd/9.22gbp/10.77eur/1439jpy (approx)


*limited edition vinyl version, with download card, currently sold out from the label… With just the right blend of psychedelia and hypnotic grooves, White Hills weaves in and out of anthemic chants, deep space bleeps and other worldly madness for a mix that proves to be intoxicating. Since the release of the band's debut album, listeners have been praising their originality and unique brand of heavy space rock. White Hills formed out of the need to forge space rock into the 21st century. Ever changing and always striving to push the envelope, Heads On Fire finds the band playing a heavier style of space rock as compared to their previous releases. Relentless and punishing, the album kicks off with the spacey swirl of the song 'Radiate' and ends with the speedladen blast of the track 'Eternity.' Along the way, a mesmerizing blend of fuzz/wah guitar growl, pounding bass, sprawling synth and chaotic drumming doses one's head three sheets to the wind. Whether it be the mere one minute track 'Return Of Speed Toilet' or the 26 plus minute 'Don't Be Afraid,' the listener will be taken on a ride through a world that is all encompassing from beginning to end.

CAN- SOUNDTRACKS LP (united artists, usa)
21.98usd/13.53gbp/15.81eur/2112jpy (approx)


*shop favorited restocked… Malcolm Mooney passes the baton to Damo Suzuki for Soundtracks, a collection of film music featuring contributions from both vocalists. The dichotomy between the two singers is readily apparent: Suzuki's odd, strangulated vocals fit far more comfortably into the group's increasingly intricate and subtle sound, allowing for greater variation than that allowed by Mooney's stream-of-consciousness discourse.


PUNK AND POST PUNK



13TH CHIME- THE SINGLES: 1981-1983 LP (sacred bones, usa)
19.98usd/12.30gbp/14.37eur/1920jpy (approx)


*We are proud to announce the release of the 13th Chime singles collection. Long sought after by collectors, the UK band only released a scant three singles in their time together before dissolving into obscurity. Their sound—a merging of deathrock’s dark driving aggression and post-punk’s sparse arrangements—reflected the realities of life in a small market town in the desolate political landscape of early 80s Britain. In cooperation with the band members Sacred Bones has collected 13th Chime’s three singles plus rare never before heard demo recordings of “Tinker Man,” “Radio Man,” and “13th Victim.” Detailed liner notes by Clive O’Grady tell the entire story—from schoolmates in the Suffolk town of Haverhill to tours with The Enid, Theater of Hate, support slots with The Adicts and Dead Kennedys, and an inevitable breakup, making friends and fans out of John Peel and The Groundhogs’ Tony McPhee along the way. Look out for the “Lost Album” LP and “The Complete Discography” CD later this summer.

CULTURAL DECAY- EIGHT WAYS TO START A DAY: SINGLES & DEMOS LP (sacred bones, usa)
19.98usd/12.30gbp/14.37eur/1920jpy (approx)


*Cultural Decay existed from 1980-1982. The band’s collective discography is comprised of a highly sought after 7" single and two song 12" EP. The latter was produced and features additional accompaniment by future Revolting Cocks co-founder Luc Van Acker. The band played a total of 15 gigs in local clubs—with like minded Belgian acts such as Struggler, De Brassers, and Siglo XX—before disbanding. Eight Ways To Start a Day is the first official release in close to three decades from this fabled Belgian coldwave band. Their sound, a collision of ethereal one-note synth lines and dark post-punk aggression, recalls the controlled ferocity of Crisis and The Southern Deathcult at their best. The recordings on this release comprise the band’s entire recorded output, the lp includes an extensive booklet including photos, liner notes and a comprehensive band history from member Joseph V. In addition to the previously released songs the LP includes three unreleased demos, “Eight Ways to Start a Day,” “Thin Rope,” and “Exit Calls.”


GREY AREA



SCOTT TUMA AND MIKE WEIS- TARADIDDLE LP (digitalis, usa)
17.98usd/11.07gbp/12.93eur/1728jpy (approx)


*Scott Tuma made his triumphant return earlier this year with "Not For Nobody" and continues to answer the call with this new, exquisite offering in collaboration with Zelienople's Mike Weis. "Taradiddle" is a new journey down similar terrain, searching out something new in a landscape that's been visited before. Take Tuma's capable hands and add the fantastic percussive talents of Weis and it's like the wheel reinvented. These two play off one another beautifully, with Weis creating layers of havoc beneath Tuma's pastoral missives. It's beautiful and dissonant. Weis is the perfect foil for Tuma's brittle sound world. The music breathes underwater, building and building on itself until it's risen into this majestic monument of glass. Archaic drones spit bombastic blasts of fire while the resulting sparks flicker into a million directions, flourescent in the night sky. Acoustic guitars drenched in reverb ring hollow with pianos echoing in the distance. Weis creates a river with swishing cymbals puncuated by fragile bells. Everything is bright, vivid, and new on "Taradiddle." Everything is perfect. screen printed, fold out sleeve. limited edition of 300.

TAPE- LUMINARIUM LP (immune, usa)
15.98usd/9.84gbp/11.49eur/1535jpy (approx)


*Swedish trio Tape was set up in 2000 by brothers Andreas and Johan Berthling with Tomas Hallonsten. Taking cues both from pop, experimentalism, and minimalism their sound has become recognized internationally and is clearly something of its own. Their first album Opera was released on the Häpna imprint (which Johan is a co-owner of) in 2002. Working intuitive, all
by themselves, they created mini symphonies out of electronic sounds paired with a stunning melodic lyricism. With an array of electronic and acoustic instruments at hand they recorded at a small stone barn on the island of Öland, east of Sweden. 2003 saw the release of Milieu, recorded at the very same barn. These recordings had a more arranged feeling and a clear pop sensibility in some parts. In 2005 they went to Cologne to have Marcus Schmickler produce and record their third album Rideau. This was done in his Piethopraxis studio in Cologne and his involvement left traces; an almost architectonical approach was taken and some of the intimacy that characterized the first two albums were replaced by a harder edge. In 2006 they collaborated with Japanese duo Tenniscoats on their album Tan–Tan Therapy. The same year they recorded in Tokyo with Japanese quartet Minamo, which resulted in the record Birds of a feather. In the years, their touring has taken them to places like Japan, Taiwan, USA and most parts of Europe.
Luminarium is Tape’s fourth album and it was recorded in their Summa studio in Stockholm. The album was released on CD by Häpna in 2008. Immune is proud to release the album on vinyl for the first time. Tape is currently in the studio recording a follow-up album for release later this year.


JAZZ



BYARD LANCASTER- FUNNY FUNKY RIB CRIB LP (kindred spirits, netherlands)
19.98usd/12.30gbp/14.37eur/1920jpy (approx)


*First official reissue of this obscure and rare Palm imprint recording. A collaboration of many great jazz artists such as cult pianist Francois Tusques (Le Nouveau Jazz), African guitarist Francois Nyombo (Lafayette Afro Rock Band) + Jef Gilson â disciples Del Rabenja, Sylvain Marc and Zizi Japhet. Born and raised in Germantown, Philidelphia, Byard Lancaster played piano until age five, when his mother bought him his first alto saxophone: he wanted to play saxophone originally, because there was this junkie across the street who sat on his porch high and played every day. During his childhood, Byards uncle had a music club, which the young Lancaster used to frequent regularly. His ears were immersed in R&B and dance-floor jazz (live & recorded) from his earliest memory. Living in Philly also meant Byard was heavily exposed to the music and philosophy of John Coltrane. Which inspired him to listen to Coltrane as much as he could and played with him on a few occasions - introducing him to Pharoah Sanders with whom he formed band in New York during the early 60s. When Byard met Jef Gilson in Paris at the beginning of the 70s, he had already recorded and played with Sunny Murray, Bill Dixon, Sun Ra or Larry Young and recorded one album as a leader for Atlantic with his friends Eric Gravatt and Sonny Sharrock. This relationship though, helped him like no other before in shaping his musical ideas. 9 Albums were created during his stay in Paris, among others the beautiful Funny Funky Rib Crib, which is now reissued on Kindred Spirits. This album is the most accomplished of all of them â his major influences (Gospel, Coltrane, Funk, etc.) are fused into one highly emotional and danceable idiom. Byard Lancaster most definitely established himself as one of the leading figures in the Free Jazz movement, which happily surprised many of his fans with more funky orientated grooves on the Funny Funky Rib Crib.

JEF GILSON & HAL SINGER- SOUL OF AFRICA LP (kindred spirits, netherlands)
19.98usd/12.30gbp/14.37eur/1920jpy (approx)


*After the reissued Jef Gilson 10inch now comes the full-length reissue of Hal Singer & Jef Gilsons Soul of Africa. As a child Hal Singer studied the violin after which he switched to reed instruments. He went on tour with great artists like Lloyd Hunter, Tommy Douglas, Jay Mc Shann, Roy Eldridge, Lucky Millinder & Duke Ellington. In 1948 he scored a #1 record on the US R&B billboard charts with his instrumental track Cornbread. After this achievement Hal Singer was given a new nickname identical to his hit-record: Hal CornbreadSinger. Jef Gilson was not only a pioneer in independent production, but also an adventurous pianist and composer with a unique approach. He introduced unusual instruments onto his productions such as the balaphone and the farfisa microrgan, but also combined both electric and acoustic basses in order to create a fresh and new sound. In 1965, the Texas tenor sax giant Hal Singer, arrived in Paris and found this new Jef Gilson band a perfect musical blend for his afro centric musical tendencies, which hed developed after 5 lengthy and successful tours in Africa. The result of the collaboration between Jef Gilson and Hal Singer was Soul of Africa, a monumental record, one of the catalysts for Afro-Parisian scene that fascinated so many musicians and music fans in the 70s and 80s.

V/A- DISCO DEVIANCE #3 12” (disco deviance, uk)
12.98usd/7.99gbp/9.34eur/1247jpy (approx)


*Ashley Beedle added his celebrated heavy disco touch to these two lost classics… Inner City Express's little known cover of Patrick Adams killer 'Dance & Shake Your Tambourine' is a joyous Disco cut with a psychedelic flavour and truly amazing funk inspired breaks, dancefloor dynamite guaranteed. Flip for a seriously skilled re-edit of Disco pornstar Andrea True Connections 'Party Line', taking the vibe of the original to a new level for modern floors. Both edits were done on tape machines and manually spliced in authentic style, giving them that particular feel and sound!

V/A- DISCO DEVIANCE #4 12” (disco deviance, uk)
12.98usd/7.99gbp/9.34eur/1247jpy (approx)


*The superb Disco Deviance crew look forward to the summer sizzle with two wonderful edits by Nu-Disco Don Pete Herbert. First up on this release is the amazing ‘Don’t Let Go’ by Tony Orlando of Dawn and ‘Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Ol' Oak Tree’ fame. This track was Tony’s take on the disco sound and with its lush strings and mellow instrumentation it is a highly infectious, yet lesser known piece of Disco history. On the flip, the synth led Italo Disco sounds of Ivan’s ‘Fotonovela’ are given the PH make over and turned into yet another Balearic disco bomb.

V/A- DISCO DEVIANCE #5 12” (disco deviance, uk)
12.98usd/7.99gbp/9.34eur/1247jpy (approx)


*Edits by legendary figures down DJ History way, Fat Camp. On this release they get things grooving with an excellent rework of ‘Goin’ Crazy’ by sophisticated disco funksters Heatwave.

V/A- DISCO DEVIANCE #7 12” (disco deviance, uk)
12.98usd/7.99gbp/9.34eur/1247jpy (approx)


*A side as featured on Greg Wilson's resident advisor mix - brings to mind classics like Remember Me, Unfinished Sympathy and Back to Life - On the flip, they rework Jazzy Dee’s wicked electrofunk track ‘Get On Up’ into a DJ-friendly dancefloor bomb.

V/A- DISCO DEVIANCE #8 12” (disco deviance, uk)
12.98usd/7.99gbp/9.34eur/1247jpy (approx)


*two absolute disco gems of the highest quality. With their dubbed out disco sound and trademark heavy space echo delays, these are two seriously good dance floor cuts. First up is ‘Forget Me Vox’ which is a killer reworking of Patrice Rushen’s classic ‘Forget Me Nots’. This cut has featured heavily in Greg Wilson’s sets for over a year now and it teases out a top quality new version of this benchmark groove, by working the break sections and finally letting loose on the vocal for pure Disco HeavenOn the flip side, a lesser known disco gem by Game is recycled into yet another heavy dance floor groove. As always, Re-mastered and cut loud for vinyl only - In short, another Deviant delight!

HIEROGLYPHIC BEING- THE ACID TEST PT1 12” (mathematics, usa)
9.98usd/6.14gbp/7.18eur/959jpy (approx)

*Jamal Moss and Steve Poindexter's true skool Chicago (power)house imprint Mathematics presents genius inspired tributes to Adonis' seminal 'No Way Back' with the centrepiece being an outstanding cover version from Portuguese experimental pop group Pop Dell' Arte, relicked into a 'Nu-Disco Long Player' by Adonis himself, with a shocking Ian Curtis style vocal delivery from the group and a sick new-wave disco backing that's simply flooring us right now. My gosh! On the flipside Steve Poindexter delivers a stunningly tripped and esoteric remix of Pop Dell' Arte's cover version of 'Querelle' with starnge harmonic sequences lending a rather scary voodoo house vibe, while the Circle Jerks finish with a fuk-dub version version of 'No Way Back' on '2Far Gone', spooling that devastating original bassline into warehouse psychedelic shapes. This is one of the best things ever on Mathematics, and for a label which we hold in such high regard, that's saying a lot.

PICKS OF THE WEEK



MINA JACKSON & THE CHILDREN- PRAY: MIKE DUNN REMIX 12” (clone club series, netherlands)
15.98usd/9.80gbp/11.44eur/1533jpy (approx)


*Clone v 2.0 comes with another series... the Clone Club Series... you guessed it... a series dedicated to release Club music in its best form. No better start was possible for this series then this huge track by Mina Jackson. Mina Jackson delivers some incredible deep and warm gospel vocals on top of the irresistible groove of Mike Dunn. A unusual combination that works like crazy. Mike Dunn did again an amazing job. Somehow he always manages to create such a simple but effective groove... and not just the last 4 years... but for more then 20 years... Respect!! Big summer track!

ELITECHNIQUE- MUNICH EMOTIONS/DOUBLE DESTINY 12” (clone loft supreme series, netherlands)
15.98usd/9.80gbp/11.44eur/1533jpy (approx)


*The second release on the Clone Loft Supreme Series... the disco dons of Elitechnique with the much sought after Munich Emotions track (which previously was released as limited test pressing of 100 copies which changed hands for big amounts on ebay and discogs) and Double Destiny on the flip. Munich Emotions is an epic disco track full of live instruments, old analogue synths all recorded in their own studio. The flip has the new school-ish disco track called Double Destiny. A super sweet track that goes somewhere inbetween Metro Area and Putsch'79 but with a more epic arrangement. These guys did a hell of a job!! Classic tracks that already got big support!

BUDOS BAND- BUDOS BAND MLP (daptone, usa)
15.98usd/9.80gbp/11.44eur/1533jpy (approx)


*From the vaults of Daptone Records, comes a collection of 6 unreleased tracks from the infamous Budos Band. Recorded after the Budos Band I sessions but before those for the second album, this ep is a fascinating glimpse into the group's evolution as musicians and recording artists. The Budos Band ep is a must have for Budos and Daptone fans alike. It stands as a vital account of the band's movement between musical styles and records a singular moment in the group's existence. It will indeed stand the test of time and remain a bedrock of Budos lore.

MAJOR LAZER- HOLD THE LINE 12” (mad decent, usa)
11.98usd/7.35gbp/8.57eur/1149jpy (approx)


*Diplo and Switch have been teasing us with mentions of their Major Lazer dancehall project for over a year now, but we're finally in the home stretch, the album will be out soon and as evidence we present to you this officially official promo EP. "Hold The Line" is a wild surf-rock, equine beat that features Santigold and Mr. Lexx. Naturally, they give up the instrumental so people can voice their own version, and the acapella for all the aspring remixers out there. The flip features a remix from Toadally Krossed Out, which finds the mysterious Mad Decent affiliates using an alternate guitar line and adding some big wobbly bass lines. Also features Bay Of Figs, a high energy electrohouse / dance hall hybrid that features Ward 21.

BURAKA SOM SISTEMA- IC19 12” (mad decent, usa)
11.98usd/7.35gbp/8.57eur/1149jpy (approx)


*Everyone's favorite Kuduro ambassadors are back with another new single from Mad Decent. "IC19" starts off sparse and moody, sounding almost like a hybrid of dubstep and southern rap, but after a moment or two a keyboard riff comes in and transforms the track into a wild electro infused banger. Cumbia maestro and Bersa Discos affilliate Toy Selectah puts a slow shuffle on the track, while Philly's DJ Sega creates a sparse Bmore version of the original, alternating between syncopated drums and the Lyn Collins break while looping the vocals endlessly. Finally, this release also features a remix from the mysterious duo of Toadally Krossed Out, a duo from Wales who have an affinity for "ribbit" sound effects and obscuring their identities by wearing toad masks.

SARANTIS FEAT. WARRIOR QUEEN- MORE THAN MONEY: STARKEY REMIX 12” (senseless, uk)
12.98usd/7.96gbp/9.29eur/1245jpy (approx)


*Philly street-bass kingpin Starkey, whose instantly-recognizable smash-up of dubstep, grime, gutter-house and hip-hop has made him one of the producers of the last couple of years, will release a new 25-track mix CD, Starkbass: Starkey's currently in the form of his life with this remix of Sarantis and Warrior Queen's 'More Than Money'.


ROCK AND PSYCHEDELIC



YAHOWHA 13- MAGNIFICENCE IN THE MEMORY LP (drag city, usa)
16.98usd/10.41gbp/12.15eur/1629jpy (approx)


*The legendary Father Yod was a wealthy man, with a rich inner life, a family of disciples that loved him, many, many women and seemingly unlimited power. So why at the height of his success, did he choose to spend his time playing rock and roll? Having a band in residency at Father House provided him and all his children with another path to travel in their never-ending search for experience and wisdom. Taking time out from their busy schedule as Father’s students and spiritual seekers in the Source Family, Sunflower, Octavius, Pythias and Djin took instruments in hand and, at a mere gesture from Father, turned up the amps and began tapping into the cosmos. First, they recorded themselves. The energy was good. Equipped by Father with instruments and effects pedals to ensure that they could create music that came “from the spheres,” their sounds provided spiritual growth to everyone in the Source Family. After a time, Father became the lead singer, as “a way to record wisdom in a modern, youth-oriented way,” Djin tells us. And YaHoWha 13 was born with Sunflower, Octavius and Djin. The music was recorded at a studio in the Father House on a TEAC 4-track reel-to-reel machine and was
released on the Source Family’s Higher Key Records label. In a couple short years, nine LPs were created, to be sold at the Source Restaurant and at YaHoWha 13 shows. Much sought-after items today, they’ve all been reissued. Even more exciting is the material that wasn’t released — enough music to fill over sixty albums, all of them mind-blowers. Skimmed from the riches in Isis Aquarian’s vaults (by Dave Nuss of the No-Neck Blues Band), the nine tracks on Magnificence in the Memory run the gamut of YaHoWha 13’s rainbow of styles, from the whispered funk of “Camp of the Gypsies” to the screaming and stomping of, well, “Camp of the Gypsies.” Storming through moments with abandon, Father and his Sons never repeated themselves, committing everything they did to tape in a single take. The capacity of their riffs and grooves to sound like German prog bands of the same era, psychedelic rock bands of several years previous or the as-yet-uncreated avant sounds from the indie rock movement a decade away is testament to their ability to tap the source of human inspiration. Adds Octavius, “these cuts will always be a source of inspiration.”
The songs on Magnificence in the Memory were chosen to provide a non-stop exciting listening experience for Source fans and neophytes alike — and as Sunflower has stated, “Father’s music is our legacy and represents the voice of the times.”

CAN- EGE BAMYASI LP (united artists, usa)
21.98usd/13.48gbp/15.73eur/2109jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked, on 200g vinyl no less… Ege Bamyasi is the third studio album by Can which was originally released as an LP in 1972 by United Artists. The album contains the single "Spoon", which charted in the Top 20 in Germany, largely because of its use as the theme of a German TV thriller series called "Das Messer" (The Knife). essential!


FOLK, BLUES AND ROOTS



LARRY JON WILSON- LARRY JON WILSON LP (drag city, usa)
16.98usd/10.41gbp/12.15eur/1629jpy (approx)


*In from the cold is Larry Jon Wilson, with his first album since 1980, an intense masterpiece of his casual performing style. Once upon a time in the 1970s, Larry Jon Wilson released four
acclaimed albums and garnered a reputation as one of the best new “outlaw country” songwriters around alongside such hallowed names as Mickey Newbury, Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark. Starting his career late (learning guitar in 1970, at the age of 30) and leaving it early (ten years later), he walked away from the business, not the music. Signed to Monument Records by Fred
Foster on the strength of a letter and a demo cassette, his legacy has been the four albums of deep country soul released between 1975 and 1979, but none of them came as close to the bone as this new, appropriately self-titled album.. Larry Jon Wilson has been quietly playing shows on and off in the southern states over the last two decades — but it wasn’t until some new friends twisted his arm with recording gear in tow on the 15th floor of a Perdido Key condominium that a new album became a reality. This album stands apart from his 70s recordings. On Larry Jon Wilson, he stands mostly alone, occasionally accompanied by a single fiddle. With the release of Larry Jon Wilson, the world is privy to the Larry Jon Wilson sound, clear and worn, deep and resonant.

DYLAN SHEARER- PLANTED/PLANS LP (yik yak, usa)
19.98usd/12.25gbp/14.30eur/1917jpy (approx)


*Beautiful melancholic bedroom-pop informed by west coast composers such as Van Dyke Parks and Harry Partch. A nice follow-up to the Robert Martin LP from another Santa Cruz long-gone. Limited Edition of 100 (already sold out from the label… this is another mysterious out-of-time singer-songwriter side in the style of the label’s earlier, amazing Robert Martin LP. Shearer is reputedly influenced by the orchestrated American topography of Harry Partch and Van Dyke Parks but given this album in a blind-fold test you’d almost swear it was some lost English private from the late 60s/early 70s. Shearer’s vocals have the same eccentric bohemian aristocracy of Kevin Ayers circa Joy Of A Toy, alongside touches of melancholy Nick Drake-isms and some classic, dislocated Syd Barrett/Madcap Laughs style confusion. The songs are great, memorable acoustic constructs that conjure all sorts of phantom hooks from out of the air: stick this one on Holyground credit Bill Nelson with some backing guitar and you would be fighting baldies in collector’s holes for years to score yourself a copy. But here it is – though guaranteed not for long. Highly recommended. -David Keenan/volcanic tongue


GLOBAL SOUNDS



TONY ALLEN- KILODE: REWORKS BY WAAJEED 12” (honest jon’s, uk)
12.98usd/7.96gbp/9.29eur/1245jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Detroit native Waajeed cut his teeth with Slum Village, before forming the Platinum Pied Pipers in 2002. Recently he's stepped up solo and production projects -- check his ace Marvin vs. WJK edits from last year -- and for Honest Jon's he's totally re-worked Tony Allen's tough Afrobeat protest song: this is jazzy and soulful, percussive and a little bit bruk, with a gorgeous, searching vocal by Zaki Ibrahim. Together with an instrumental, and a grooving, roomy dub.

TONY ALLEN- ONE TREE: TP'S SPIRIT OF UNITY MIX 12” (honest jon’s, uk)
12.98usd/7.96gbp/9.29eur/1245jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Terrence Parker is an underground Detroit original. Unlike, say, Carl Craig or Claude Young, though -- both of whom are preparing mixes for this Honest Jon's series -- his music falls outside the city's techno traditions. Terrence Parker makes classic Detroit house. Since his debut in 1988 -- a collaboration with Marc Kinchen -- and then his legendary first solo EP, TP1, in 1990, Terrence has released more than a hundred records, under aliases like Disciples Of Jovon Blade, Disco Revisited, Plastic Soul Junkies, Minimum Wage Brothers, Seven Grand Housing Authority. These remixes are romping, stomping, tearaway house, the old school way.

DIPLO/NEWHAM GENERALS/ELEWEDU OF AGEGE- FUJI OUIJA 12” (honest jon’s, uk)
12.98usd/7.96gbp/9.29eur/1245jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… A Lagos fuji session sets Diplo tearing up walls and stomping across the ceiling; a fragment of afro-folk percussion triggers the Generals' brilliant futurism; and two sumptuous cuts of the original deal.

SON PALENQUE- SAMBA/EL LOBO/AGUATA 12” (honest jon’s, uk)
12.98usd/7.96gbp/9.29eur/1245jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… The last of Honest Jon's Tony Allen series, presenting the legendary Afro-Colombian band from San Basilio de Palenque -- three new recordings curated by Lucas Silva and mixed by Moritz von Oswald -- a delirious brew of highlife, chalupa, Afrobeat and champeta. "Samba" is a homage to Nigerian musical heroes, and the burning horns are arranged by Colombian maestro Ramon Benitez. "El Lobo" tells the story of a wolf lost in the Palenque bush and "Aguata" -- played in the tambora rhythm -- is about rain.

ELMORE JUDD- UNBORN AGAIN 12” (honest jon’s, uk)
13.98usd/8.57gbp/10.00eur/1341jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Six new exclusive tracks from Elmore Judd, going deeper and more diverse, brimming with musicality and good humor. This is vintage Judd: dazed and dubwise New York art-funk meets wonky skank amongst the sozzled mongrels of Malian folk, Rembetika and Gypsy jazz. "Deliriously inventive and macabre late night, lo-fi soul music played with infectious glee ... A cross between Prince and Captain Beefheart." --The Independent

ELMORE JUDD- INSECT FUNK LP (honest jon’s, uk)
13.98usd/8.57gbp/10.00eur/1341jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… This is the second full-length release by North London's Jesse Hackett aka Elmore Judd. Weird, between-the-sheets soul from Tufnell Park. P-Funk running into art-school disco, rock avant-gardism, UK hip-hop, African roots music, a bit of rembetica from Greece, horror soundtracks and jazz. An ecstatic, danceable, menacing record populated by pirates, rats, Snakefinger, dead men and Tron. Drummer Tom Skinner, who played on Elmore Judd's first record Angel Sound, makes a re-appearance on Insect Funk, playing a kit, primitive drum machines, scaffolding poles and pots and pans. A dirty exploration of the scaly underbelly of soul as played by art hobos.


JAZZ



DON CHERRY & LATIF KHAN- MUSIC/SANGAM LP (heavenly sweetness, france)
25.98usd/15.93gbp/18.59eur/2493jpy (approx)


*First time reissue of this forgotten gem from Don Cherry. This unsung album is only known by hardcore fans of Don cherry who considered it as one of his best effort. Heavenly Sweetness do it again! This album was recorded in 1978 in Paris and released only in France in1981. That was the first meeting between Don Cherry and Indian percussionist Latif Khan and the result is an incredible mixture of jazz and Indian music.


DUBSTEP



MRK1- KILL ZONE/TUNNEL FORM 12” (contagious, uk)
12.98usd/7.96gbp/9.29eur/1245jpy (approx)


*MRK1 returns with his prolific Contagious Music label and two brand new productions. MRK1 is on fire at the moment and has a heap of releases in the pipeline as well as beats planned from label-mate Chimpo etc. 'Kill Zone' doesn't disappoint, the trademark MRK super-dancefloor smasher sound is fully intact here and this one is set to devastate the dance. Bag it!

LION DUB FEAT. JAH DAN & SOTTO BLESS- HEARTBROKEN: NOAH D REMIX 12” (earwax, uk)
12.98usd/7.96gbp/9.29eur/1245jpy (approx)


*Earwax steps to the USA for this monster plate from New York City roots/dub veteran Liondub, who collaborates here with Jamaican rising stars Jah Dan and Sotto Bless. Fellow stateside producer Noah D takes the dubstep refix duties with a floor smashing b-line. The result is an outstanding roots/dubstep crossover that is -- for once -- totally original. 'Heartbroken' sees Jah Dan & Sotto Bless take up the mic and, bouncing between each other, lay down a vocal that is measured equally between deep and energizing. With a laid back delivery they catch a flow that rolls perfectly over Liondub's wicked instrumental that sounds like a dubstep flavoured take on Berlin veterans Rhythm & Sound ocean deep dub style. Noah D takes the original and charges the already excellent vocals with a more dancefloor friendly re-fix. The swooping bassline that hits when the chorus drops will turn your insides out -- cutting through the full sub frequency range to guarantee it will hit the right spot in any dance, any room with a system in. Drop heavy and stand proud -- this is a huge version. Support from: Pinch, Plastician, N-type, RSD, MRK1, Appleblim and many more.

GINZ & JOKER- PURPLE CITY/RE-UP 12” (kapsize, uk)
12.98usd/7.96gbp/9.29eur/1245jpy (approx)


*Joker's Kapsize imprint is pushing things forward in 2009. The last plate 'Do It' and 'Psychedelic Runway' crossed from the underground right onto Radio 1 shows including Zane Lowe, Pete Tong and many more. This next installment promises to be even bigger as both sides of the plate send shock waves that reach beyond dubstep once again as all the big names draw for their favourite side. Both Joker and Ginz (previously working under the names 30Hz, P. Dutty, Emptyset and one half of The Body Snatchers) pool their talents for this huge release. Quite simply put 'Purple City' is one of the biggest tunes you will hear in 2009, no fronting! Being repped across the board by the biggest, pickiest names in the scene, hear is a rhythm that crosses boundaries effortlessly. Think turbo charged G-Funk flavours, chunky square-wave bendy bass and rolling carnival drums -- perfectly executed. Rave funk -- served extra greeeezy! Support from: Benga, Chase & Status, Pinch, Jamie Vex'd, Mary-Anne Hobbs, Tes La Rock, Jakes, Mac 10 and many more. Flip then for an off-the-wall crunked out adventure in 8-bit bleep space. 'Re-Up' has all the energy and intensity of a 100 eight year olds with A.D.D. on a school trip to sherbet factory.

JOKER- DO IT/PSYCHEDELIC RUNWAY 12” (kapsize, uk)
12.98usd/7.96gbp/9.29eur/1245jpy (approx)


*Bristol's Purple Prince returns to his Kapsize stable after a brief stint away with KAP003 (featuring 'Do It' and 'Psychedelic Runway') He's been labelled as everything from G-Funk to dubstep, but no tag quite suits Joker. There is, however, a specific shade Bristol's latest king of the dancefloor picks out in his music. 'Purple. That's how I would describe it,' he says. 'There's a certain key I'm stuck in. It's the key that sounds purple.' He's quick to dismiss any diagnosis of synaesthesia, but by constantly referencing the colour, and rolling with fellow west country tykes Gemmy and Guido as The Purple Trilogy, Joker's struck up the sort of relationship with the violet hue that would put Prince to shame. Strange as it sounds, have a listen and you'll see what he means. The 19-year-old grew up on the outskirts of Bristol and was an avid bike thief and games console enthusiast until the flood of jungle and UK garage he was listening to took its toll. After beginning to produce his own tunes following a trip to his cousin's studio, Joker was soon swept up in the bass scene of his native city. Cemented into the dubstep fraternity, following a string of releases via Plastician's Terrorhythm, Pinch's Earwax and Kode9's Hyperdub, Joker is currently the hottest property going. But recent productions have favoured a more mellow approach in comparison to the volatile grime blare of 'Hollybrook Park' or his previous collaboration with Glasgow's prince of crippled crunk, Rustie. Although he was only a toddler when Dr Dre's classic 'Deep Cover' landed in 1992, 'Digidesign' and 'Purple City' are instead closer to G-Funk and its lecherous west coast synths. Of all his influences, one stands above the rest: The Neptunes and their ubiquitous R&B skronk. With same knack of being bold whilst also astute as Virginia's premier producers, Joker's mutant post-rave histrionics are that of the Bristol hotshot truly in his own unique purple patch.

RUSTIE & JOKER- PLAY DOE 12” (kapsize, uk)
12.98usd/7.96gbp/9.29eur/1245jpy (approx)


*Joker joins forces with rising 'wonky' star Rustie for this excursion in computer sonic warfare -- it's bigger than Sonic, it's bigger than Mario -- it's bigger than the pair of them on stilts! 'Play Doe' takes the best from each producer, melding Rustie's bendy beats and hyperactive blips n' beeps with Joker's p-funk synth ethic, working twisted melodies over warped drums and spooning out generous helpings of belly aching bass! With huge support coming from all angles, the likes of Kode9, Pinch, Plastician, Hudson Mohawk -- even the Scratch Perverts are all over it! Rustie -- 'Tempered.' Going on solo for the flipside, Rustie delivers us some 140bpm dirty south flavors direct from his Glaswegian laboratory -- keeping it mean, green and very lean throughout. While the beats are crunk, the b-line is grimey, pulling out some edgey square wave business -- sounds like Wiley remixing a Lil' Jon riddim track after a night on the blunts! Support from Loefah as well as the usual culprits.

TES LA ROK- BWWOOY/DUB TING 12” (noppa, uk)
12.98usd/7.96gbp/9.29eur/1245jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… After a year of meditation, Tes La Rok returns to his own Noppa label, and what a comeback release this is. 'Bwwoy' is an all-night meditation skankers riddim with some incredibly low-end action and dubwise drum work. This tune gives bass bins a proper workout.On the flipside, Tes La Rok unleashes a massive dread bass stepper with haunting synth lines and delayed effects. This release takes dubstep back to its roots with deep and dark vibes -- the best Tes La Rok work to date.

LEE PERRY WITH SAMIA FARAH VS. KODE9- YELLOW TONGUE/YELLOW VERSION 12” (on-u sound, germany)
13.98usd/8.57gbp/10.00eur/1341jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… On-U Sound presents another release in their limited edition Mighty Upsetter remix series, stepping it up a gear with this pumpin,' dumpin' rub from Kode9. The Hyperdub boss reworked Lee Perry and Adrian Sherwood's original audio ingredients, heavily reshaping, but keeping Samia Farah's reverb-soaked vocals largely intact. This remix is at the heart of "funky." The offbeat dub version is also essential and not to be missed.

CASPA THE TAKEOVER/MARMITE 12” (sub soliders/fabric, uk)
12.98usd/7.96gbp/9.29eur/1245jpy (approx)


*Caspa is one of the UK's brightest and most in demand names in dubstep. At 26 he's achieved a lot and as the mainstream has already started to feel the ripples of the dubstep underground, he's a name that will no doubt become more and more well-known throughout the year. His album Everybody's Talking, Nobody's Listening is released through Sub Soldiers (his latest imprint that he set up as a sister label to Dub Police, itself a sister label to his Storming Productions imprint) and Fabric, who have been championing him ever since his Fabriclive mix, including giving him a bimonthly Dub Police residency. It's an album that dubstep fans have been talking about for a long time, mostly because it features a number of huge tracks that Caspa's been playing out in his sets for some time, but has strategically never released. 'There's a lot of people that would tear their right arm off for some of these tracks, people are ripping them off Zane Lowe's show and playing them out, it's nuts,' Caspa explains proudly.

CASPA- EVERYBODY'S TALKING, NOBODY'S LISTENING! 3X12” (sub soliders/fabric, uk)
28.98usd/17.77gbp/20.74eur/2780jpy (approx)


*Caspa is one of the UK's brightest and most in demand names in dubstep.

14.98usd/9.18gbp/10.72eur/1437jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Originally released on Chicago’s Underground Records. 4 tracks of vocal acid house. Can you imagine what happened when we heard these tracks for the first time 15 years ago? We couldn't stop jumping around. This was completly from another world... Acid was music from another planet and Mike Dunn was an Alien who came with irresistable beats and basslines. Mike Dunn and Tyree Cooper also wrote the lyrics which are still relevant for everybody who has some hassle with relationships now and then (isn't that all of us ;-). This is all about the basics of good innovative music. Essential!

MIKE DUNN- SO LET IT BE HOUSE 12” (clone classic cuts, netherlands)
14.98usd/9.18gbp/10.72eur/1437jpy (approx)

Must have!

FINGERS INC/ROBERT OWENS- I'M STRONG 12” (clone classic cuts, netherlands)
14.98usd/9.18gbp/10.72eur/1437jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… All time favorite house track by Larry Heard, Mr Fingers and Robert Owens! A one of a kind track with a totally unique groove and a bass line not coming from this world. The DX sound that makes the track so powerful sounds like some kind of mutant machine that is going wild and the sublime combination with the Robert Owens vocals makes this a high light in the history of house music!

TYREE/THE ELECT- I'M FREE/I'M HOUSE 12” (clone classic cuts, netherlands)
14.98usd/9.18gbp/10.72eur/1437jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Two classic Chicago house tracks taken from the Clone Classic Cuts album. After more then twenty years since they were born, these two formerly very hard-to-get masterpieces will still cause major damage on the dancefloor...

Marshall Jefferson, Byron Stingley & Ron Hardy doing the main mix! Comes with the Ron Hardy club mix and the Powerhouse version. Very expressive powerfull house music with intense vocals by Byron Stingley.

EMPEROR MACHINE- SPACE BEYOND THE EGG 2LP (dc recordings, uk)
25.98usd/15.93gbp/18.59eur/2493jpy (approx)


*The man that is Andy Meecham, a stalwart of sonic mongering that has travelled a long and deviant road through numerous musical incarnations to get to this point. Previous albums "Aimee Tallulah Is Hypnotised" and "Vertical Tones And Horizontal Noise", as well as more than a dozen singles and countless remixes have helped refine & smooth his imperial vision, All of this has lead to this moment, his third full-length album, which shall henceforth be known as "Space Beyond The Egg". From album opener "The Frontist" - pregnant with menacing funk, to the droopy and lead-footed disco of "Hairy Knuckle"; the mantric swing of "Kananana" with its lethal vocal hook, to the strange amniotic cascades of "Silvercape", not to mention the lurking deviant that is "Dave Gent" or the afro-cosmic reverie of "You Clapper". Attempting to describe these tracks in words is, of course, academic and irrelevant when compared with the actual listening experience. Put quite simply, this is music for your insides that will help turn you inside out.

SASCHA DIVE- BASIC COLLECTIVE: DJ QU REMIX 12” (deep vibes, germany)
14.98usd/9.18gbp/10.72eur/1437jpy (approx)

Operating under his IAMTHATIAM moniker, Jamal provides some of the CD highlights on 'Vibrations and Harmonies 2' with a depressurised spectral synth excursion, Lo-fi tribal house as Africanswithmainframes, or completely unique machine manipulations on 'Temple Of The Moon' as Hieroglyphic Being. Elsewhere Conta Communem Opinionem's 'Tired Feel' is highly recommended, carving out a niche for scuzzy but heartfelt Chicago via Cologne style deep house, or Adonis presents Noleion Reusse with an emotionally punishing jacker on 'Lover's Jak'. This label bravely holds onto an aesthetic that deliberately holds itself back from being grouped with more modern house crews, and for that, we salute you Mathematics, respect! For lovers of the mystical side of house music or labels like Morphine or MoM. -boomkat

With a strict label policy adhering to the aesthetic laid down by the late great Armando Gallop Moss and Poindexter have collated some of the labels finest moments for their first CD retrospective with rough and ready club tackle from the fringes of dance music's aural periphery, including tracks from Allen Wright on the hypnotic jackers anthem 'Talking Heads (1987 Reel 2 Reel edit), Olfrygt's cosmic disco dream 'Lure', deep house from Anton Mitchell, killer Chi-house rhythm abstraction from Poindexter himself on a couple of cuts, Armando's lost gem 'just like heaven', and a run of raw like sushi jack trax from Moss and Poindexter in their Faces Drums mode alongside Gregory Kitt on fine tracking form. Proper Chicago gear. -boomkat

PICKS OF THE WEEK



SON'S OF THE DRAGON- THE JOURNEY OF QUI NIU 12” (echospace:detroit, usa)
12.98usd/7.89gbp/9.27eur/1274jpy (approx)


*Son's Of The Dragon debuted in 2008 on a mysterious white double vinyl out of Detroit, and they awake again to bring you The Journey Of Qui Niu. The cv313 rework plays off the original version, but adds a low-end throb so deep it could shake the heavens. SQX takes a different approach -- they use the synthesized textures as warm sonic fragments, as if building a sonic puzzle. A destined classic -- do not miss. Limited edition colored vinyl.

V/A- OPEN STRINGS: 1920S MIDDLE EASTERN RECORDINGS- NEW RESPONSES 4LP (honest jon’s, uk)
54.98usd/33.43gbp/39.26eur/5396jpy (approx)


V/A- OPEN STRINGS: 1920S MIDDLE EASTERN RECORDINGS- NEW RESPONSES 2CD (honest jon’s, uk)
23.98usd/14.58gbp/17.12eur/2353jpy (approx)


*This is the fourth release in Honest Jon's series of albums exploring the earliest 78s held in the EMI Hayes Archive. Open Strings is a dazzling selection of virtuoso string-playing from Egypt, Iran, Iraq and Turkey, all recorded in the 1920s, and pretty much unheard ever since. In addition, Open Strings includes a disc of newly-commissioned responses to the themes in this music by underground luminaries committed to the drone such as Sir Richard Bishop of legendary Sun City Girls renown, West Coast psych-guitarist Ben Chasny aka Six Organs Of Admittance, UK folk-guitarist Rick Tomlinson aka Voice Of The Seven Woods, and Western Massachusetts' raga-inspired duo, MV And EE. From resonant bow-drone, to frenetic fret-runs to delicate, circular acoustic musings to sitar fever-dreams, no matter the nationality, there is a resonance and truth in this music that is ancient, timeless and transcendent. Scorchers past and present, every one. Other artists include: Micah Blue Smaldone, Michael Flower, Charlie Parr, Bruce Licher, Paul Metzger, and Steffen Basho-Junghans.

ARTHUR RUSSELL- IS IT ALL OVER MY FACE 12” (slow to speak, usa)

*Soul Jazz Records' journey into dub and beyond, released to coincide with the new DVD film featuring an array of both legendary and current artists and producers connected to dub. Dub Echoes celebrates both 40 years of dub!

MIGUEL ABUELO & NADA- MIGUEL ABUELO ET NADA LP (abuelo, france)
29.98usd/18.23gbp/21.41eur/2942jpy (approx)


*1973 album by Miguel Abuelo & Nada while he was living in France is, no doubt, one of the best Argentinian rock albums ever recorded, and probably also one of the best out of South America. Miguel, a true legend of Argentinian rock music, recruited some Argentinian musicians who were living in Paris at the time and recorded this wonderful album, but the band never promoted it because they disbanded very quickly. The LP became a collectable item very soon, and this is the first vinyl reissue with the original artwork in its gatefold cover, and the insert with the lyrics. Seven long tracks, stunning blend of psychedelia, folk and hard-rock. A nicely done reissue of such a classic, with tremendous sound quality and limited to 500 copies.

YVES & SERGE & VICTOR- CAGIBI LP (guerssen, france)
26.98usd/16.41gbp/19.27eur/2648jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Guerssen reissues this mega-rare private pressing from France, 1975, with only 300 copies originally made. Pretty unknown album, and a killer! Nothing you would expect from a French record, really. This is 100% USA early-'70s sounding stuff: West Coast folk-rock with a psychedelic edge, CSNY feel, acoustic & electric guitars, some fierce fuzz assaults and English vocals. An incredible discovery! The original pressing came with a plain white cover, and a few copies were later pasted-on with a few very low quality photos. For this reissue Guerssen used this restored original artwork.

LULA CORTES- ROSA DE SANGUE LP (time-lag, usa)
26.98usd/20.05gbp/23.55eur/3237jpy (approx)


*Deluxe first ever reissue of this Brazilian private press monster rarity. Originally custom pressed in 1980, Rosa De Sangue is the closing chapter of the amazing Recife psychedelic movement that flourished and centered around the work of Lula Cortes, beginning in 1973 with the release of Satwa, and the creation of 'Abracadabra,' Lula's loose art/music/design collective. Leading up to 1980 Lula had produced and privately released Satwa in 1973 (Brazil's first private press LP) as well as Marconi Notaro's No Sub Reino Dos Metazoarios LP that same year (featuring the recording debut of Ze Ramalho). He then started the legendary but incredibly short lived Solar label, releasing only two albums: 1975's Paebiru double album, and a year later the lone album by Flaviola. As if that wasn't enough, he was also heavily involved in other productions and performed on many seminal albums coming out of the region, including many collaborations with Alceu Valenca. By the close of the '70s the heavily utilized Rozemblit recording studio/pressing plant had been destroyed by repeated floods, Abracadabra had run its course, and along with Lula's marriage, the Solar label was no more. So Rosa De Sangue was conceived as a bookend and tribute to this closing era; as Lula himself states 'I want to close all of this with a golden key.' And a golden key it is. Entering a small local studio with a head full of songs and his freshly road tested 'mountains band,' Lula created an album simply overflowing with ideas. Along with his power trio backing, he was further assisted by many old friends dropping in, including, among many others: Alceu Valenca, Flaviola, Ze De Flauta and Paulo Rafael. With hints of the past era and of things to come, it is a truly wild audio experience, covering many styles and moods. From crazed ethno folkrock, to magical, gentle, jungle folk psych zones, to hard hitting, coke dusted fuzz rock, to insane mutant disco dance floor groove, to tweaked Americana, to acid vocal raga trance, and way beyond. All throughout Lula's beautiful tricordio work pins things down, and for the first time he is the main vocalist (this is, after all, his first 'solo' album!) His is a smoke and booze steeped voice darting between crazed abandon, deep sadness, and glowing soulful humor. When things are mellow, you could easily imagine you're hearing an outtake from Marconi Notaro or Paebiru, but the next moment you're dropped into a raging street party or dimly lit booze drenched bar scene vibe. Frenzied guitars all over, including some tough fuzz, as well as powerful rolling bass groove, soaring violin, moog weirdness, dusted backup vocals, and great drum kit/regional percussion interplay. Psychedelic at heart, but brimming with flashes of tropicalia, punk, prog, and pure hot blooded rock and roll. A bizarre and amazing album. But of course, the story doesn't end there. At some point while the album was being recorded and pressed, Lula signed a major label contact which would produce 1981's far tamer O Gosto Novo Da Vida LP. When his new label got wind of Rosa De Sangue's eminent release, they were displeased to say the least. As soon as the pressing was complete, the entire small edition was seized and destroyed, making this album by far Brazil's rarest. So rare, in fact, that even among the most hardcore Brazilian collectors the original LP is often only rumored to exist, often cited as 'unreleased.' A few copies did however survive, and now, 29 years later, the world can finally hear this 'golden key' from a truly visionary artist. Packaged in a heavy vintage style cover with exact reproduction original artwork, including the huge full color, double sided, foldout poster insert, plus an extra insert featuring new liner notes from Lula Cortes as well as translated song titles. 180gm audiophile virgin vinyl pressing with exact repro label art. Limited edition one time pressing of 1000 copies.


FOLK, BLUES AND ROOTS



DOCK BOGGS- FALSE HEARTED LOVER'S BLUES LP (monk, italy)
26.98usd/16.41gbp/19.27eur/2648jpy (approx)


*Born in 1898 in Norton, Virginia, singer/songwriter and banjo player Dock Boggs got his start playing in the mining camps while working in the mines all over the Appalachian region. In 1927, he got a contract with Brunswick Records and began recording and playing parties all over the area. This collection represents his complete recordings from 1927-1929 when Dock was at the beginning and height of his short-lived recording career. 1929, however, was also unfortunately the beginning of the Great Depression and, like many musicians, Dock was forced to give up playing professionally due to lack of audience (no one had money for records or parties anymore). He thankfully was rediscovered in the 1960s by the folk revival movement and went on to record three great albums for Folkways, before his death in 1971.

CHARLEY PATTON- ELECTRICALLY RECORDED: PRAYER OF DEATH LP (monk, italy)
26.98usd/16.41gbp/19.27eur/2648jpy (approx)


*From the granddaddy of Delta blues comes this incredible compilation of his greatest songs. Charley Patton's influence on music cannot be overstated. He began playing music around 1900 and by the time he was 19, about a decade later, he had already written his most popular tune 'Pony Blues' and was on his way to becoming the first superstar of the Delta Blues and a household name. He was soon the most requested performer all over the South and influenced many young musicians, like Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker and Robert Johnson, to name a few. But it was not only his mastery of the guitar and incredible vocal style that gained him popularity. His rock star-style showmanship and stage antics -- like playing guitar down on his knees or behind his back -- with a girl on each arm and drink in hand after the show, made him the idol of young would-be musicians (and non) everywhere he played. And like a true rock star, by age 42 he was dead, which of course, only fuelled his fame.

CHARLIE POOLE- HUSBAND AND WIFE WERE ANGRY ONE NIGHT LP (monk, italy)
26.98usd/16.41gbp/19.27eur/2648jpy (approx)


*Born in North Carolina in 1892, singer and banjo player Charlie Poole is often considered to be one of the grandfathers of bluegrass and modern country music. Poole recorded 60 songs during the 1920s for Columbia Records with his wildly popular North Carolina Ramblers, so this LP is a small sampling of some of his very best songs, many of which, like his first big hit for Columbia, 'Don't Let Your Deal Go Down Blues,' are blues standards. Although Poole died of an alcohol-induced heart failure at just 39 years old, he still had plenty of time to influence bluegrass greats like Bill Monroe, and more indirectly, Hank Williams and the folk singers of the 1960s. Although Poole wrote none of his own material, his genius lay in his unique ability to rework a song, by changing lyrics and tempo, to make it something entirely new. In fact, many fans bought his records just to see 'how Charlie did it.' His North Carolina Ramblers sold huge numbers of records for the time and Poole became one of the first country music stars.

V/A- LONDON IS THE PLACE FOR ME: TRINIDADIAN CALYPSO IN LONDON 1950-56 2LP (honest jon’s, uk)
25.98usd/15.80gbp/18.55eur/2550jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… When the Empire Windrush, an old troop-carrier, arrived at Tilbury on June 21,1948, and inaugurated modern Caribbean immigration to Britain, it also supplied calypso with its best-known image -- on Pathe newsreel, Lord Kitchener singing his new composition London is The Place For Me. Kitch had boarded with Lord Beginner at Kingston docks, Jamaica, on Empire Day, May 24. In London they joined a milieu of fine band musicians familiar with Caribbean musical forms, and already represented on numerous recordings crucial to the development of British swing and jazz music. Travelling with their own core audience, the Trinidadian calypsonians brought with them the vocal music of Carnival. Traditionally this ranges from social satire to sexual double-entendre, from voodoo to the most pressing issues of the day, from sporting events to competitive insult. The experiences of Britain's growing Caribbean population were fabulously rich in raw material. In many ways Trinidadian calypso prefigured the rise of the Jamaican recording industry, by which it was eclipsed as the fifties ended. During that decade, certainly it was the enthralling soundtrack of Black Britain. Selected from original 78rpm recordings from the 50's by Richard Noblett and Honest Jon's co-owner Mark Ainley, compiler of the swathe of highly successful Studio One compilations for Soul Jazz records and the essential Darker Than Blue compilation on Blood and Fire. The sleeve artwork and insert contain a selection of fabulous photographs from the archives of the era, facsimilies of the original 78 record labels and extensive historical information.

V/A- LONDON IS THE PLACE FOR ME 2: CALYPSO & KWELA, HIGHLIFE & JAZZ FROM YOUNG BLACK LONDON 2LP (honest jon’s, uk)
25.98usd/15.80gbp/18.55eur/2550jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Another installment of amazing music from the first wave of modern black settlement in England. The focus remains on the fifties, classic calypsos running alongside the African jazz of Ambrose Campbell -- the father of modern Nigerian music -- and some blistering high-life. Amongst the contributions from the sixties there is some South African kwela (featuring Chris McGregor), and a jazz-dance percussion workout from the Trinidadians who put the Notting Hill Carnival on London streets. The LPs are housed in a gatefold sleeve with a beautiful folded insert. There is a trenchant introduction by Paul Gilroy, full discographical notes, and numerous wonderful photographs.

TUNDE WILLIAMS- MR BIG MOUTH LP (honest jon’s, uk)
18.98usd/11.54gbp/13.55eur/1862jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… First reissue of this legendary Afrobeat LP from Nigeria, originally recorded in 1975. Produced by Fela Kuti. Out of print for years, the release of these albums by Lekan Animashaun and Tunde Williams is a welcome addition to the catalogue of available Afrobeat recordings. In Fela Kuti's band Afrika 70, Tunde was the most consistent soloist, and his trumpet improvisations graced virtually all of the band's 1970s recordings. The tracks for Mr. Big Mouth had been recorded in 1975, but by the time they were released in 1977, Fela was engaged in a bitter battle with the original label, Decca Records. As a result, many of Afrika 70's Decca releases from 1977-8 fell through the proverbial cracks, and Mr. Big Mouth was unfortunately one of them. Although it is a great album, it was given little promotion and as a result, is known only to the most committed Afrobeat aficionados, even in Nigeria. The music on Mr. Big Mouth is similar in feel and mood to other Afrika 70 releases from this time on Decca's Afrodisia imprint such as Fela's No Agreement, Stalemate, and Fear Not for Man, and Tony Allen's No Accomodation for Lagos. The title track is typical of Afrika 70's uptempo grooves and like much of Fela's music the lyrics are socially-critical in tone, although unlike Fela's songs, Tunde's lyrics are not directed at the government. Rather, he says the title track was a commentary on 'some of the indigenous contractors at that time. The government would give these contractors money to complete a job, and instead they would take the money and surround themselves with women, fancy clothes, and flashy cars, and go around the town bragging like big shots. The jobs never got done, and many of them ended up going to jail for defrauding the government. That's what I was singing about.' Tunde's mid-tempo instrumental 'The Beginning' is certainly one of the most infectious tracks to come out of Fela's organization. The laid-back Afrobeat groove is dark and suspenseful, and one can easily hear why the song was often played during Afrika 70's warm-up sets, as it perfectly sets the tone for a late, smoky night at the Afrika Shrine. After leaving Fela in 1978, Tunde was in heavy demand as a session trumpeter in Lagos. His credits from this time are numerous, including Manu Dibango's seminal Home Made set (the first of Dibango's LPs to be fully recorded in Africa), and Orlando Julius Ekemode.

HYPNOTIC BRASS ENSEMBLE- ALYO/FLIPSIDE 10” (honest jon’s, uk)
12.98usd/7.89gbp/9.27eur/1274jpy (approx)


*The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is comprised of 8 brothers from the south side of Chicago, all sons of the Sun Ra trumpeter, Phil Cohran. They are a street-marching brass band in the New Orleans tradition; jazz to dance, with a funk sensibility honed by hip-hop. Here are two scorchers from their Honest Jon's full-length. "Alyo" (with Malcolm Catto from The Heliocentrics on drums) is hard and funky, written by Cohran in memory of Alyo Tolbert, star dancer for the Montu Dance Company. "Flipside" wobbles and tips, with the spirit of Mingus in its gait. One pressing only, in a metallic-ink sleeve.

ALICE COLTRANE- HUNTINGTON ASHRAM MONASTERY LP (impulse!, usa)
17.98usd/10.93gbp/12.84eur/1764jpy (approx)


*180 gram exact repro reissue, gatefold sleeve. Officially licensed through Verve/Universal. Recorded in New York, May 14, 1969; Alice Coltrane (piano and harp), Ron Carter (bass) and Rashied Ali (drums and percussion). "The composition 'Huntington Ashram Monastery' was first recorded as a piece for solo harp. However, the selection used in this album is played by the trio. With the band, there is expansion and enhancing of sound, together with collective contributions of the musicians. Ashram means 'hermitage.' It is sometimes spelled 'ashrama.' Of the many humanly-constructed ashrams and monasteries throughout the world, I feel that the real 'ashrama' is in your heart." -- Alice Coltrane

ALICE COLTRANE- JOURNEY IN SATCHIDANANDA LP (impulse!, usa)
21.98usd/13.37gbp/15.70eur/2157jpy (approx)


*Exact repro. 180 gram virgin vinyl. Originally issued in 1971. Recorded at the Coltrane home studio, Dix Hills, New York on November 8, 1970. Alice Coltrane (harp, piano); Pharoah Sanders (soprano saxophone, perc); Charlie Haden (bass); Rashied Ali (drums); Cecil McBee (bass); Vishnu Wood (oud); Tulsi (tamboura); Majid Shabazz (bells, tambourine). "Swamiji is the first example I have seen in recent years of Universal Love or God in action. He expresses an impersonal love, which encompasses thousands of people. Anyone listening to this selection should try to envision himself floating on an ocean of Satchidanandaji's love, which is literally carrying countless devotees across the vicissitudes and stormy blasts of life to the other shore. 'Satchidananda' means knowledge, existence, bliss." --Alice Coltran

ELVIN JONES/JIMMY GARRISON SEXTET- ILLUMINATION! LP (impulse!, usa)
17.98usd/10.93gbp/12.84eur/1764jpy (approx)


*180 gram exact repro reissue in a gatefold sleeve, originally released on Impulse! in 1963. Offically llicensed through Verve/Universal. Featuring Elvin Jones (drums), McCoy Tyner (piano), Prince Lasha (clarinet and flute), Sonny Simmons (alto sax and English horn), Jimmy Garrison (bass) and Charles Davis (baritone sax). "Recorded in 1963 and co-led by John Coltrane's drummer and bassist (Elvin Jones and Jimmy Garrison), the music is most significant for introducing Sonny Simmons (alto and English horn) and Prince Lasha (flute and clarinet), who are joined in the sextet by underrated baritonist Charles Davis and Trane's pianist McCoy Tyner. Each of the musicians except Jones contributed an original (there are two by Davis); the music ranges from advanced hard bop to freer sounds that still swing. While Garrison's contributions are conventional (this was his only opportunity to lead or co-lead a date), Jones is quite powerful. However, it is the playing of both Simmons, who tears it apart on English horn during 'Nuttin' Out Jones,' and Lasha (when is he going to be rediscovered and recorded again?) that make this early 'New Thing' date of greatest interest." -- All Music Guide

TOM SCOTT- RURAL STILL LIFE LP (impulse!, usa)

*180 gram vinyl reissue of the Starsky And Hutch theme song composer's 1968 Impulse! album. Gatefold sleeve. Featuring Chuck Damanico, John Guerin and Mike Lang. "Each tune on the album represents a kind of a totally different aspect of my musical personality, all the way from the very lyrical and romantic and impressionistic to the freaky, so to speak. I find at this point in my life I'm searching very deeply for a style -- trying to find my own identity, really. The album is just a part of that search, one more chapter in that search. As I listen back to it, I don't know that I can understand any more about myself than I did before; but it does represent a great deal of the efforts in various areas of my life."

ARCHIE SHEPP- ATTICA BLUES LP (impulse!, usa)
17.98usd/10.93gbp/12.84eur/1764jpy (approx)


*180 gram exact repro reissue, gatefold sleeve. Originally released in 1972 on Impulse!. Officially licensed through Verve/Universal. "Never one to be close-lipped about his anger at U.S. society or its actions, Archie Shepp delivered Attica Blues on the heels of the Attica Prison massacre. Every time Shepp's breath hits the reeds he creates an emotional vibe which all of his records have displayed. Attica Blues has all his in your face sound even though he isn't ripping jagged shards as he had in the past. The record still displays emotional angst that is every bit as powerful and distraught as Davis's celluloid images. The tracks have the deep soul of all of Shepp's finest such as On This Night and Four By Trane. The difference is Archie utilizes the arrangements as the forefront while his horn simmers in the background like an angry voice needing to be heard." -- All About Jazz

ARCHIE SHEPP- LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO LP (impulse!, usa)
17.98usd/10.93gbp/12.84eur/1764jpy (approx)


*180 gram exact repro reissue in a gatefold sleeve, originally released on Impulse! in 1966. Featuring Archie Shepp (tenor sax and piano), Donald Garrett (bass), Beaver Harris (drums), Roswell Rudd (trombone) and Lewis Worrell (bass). "This Impulse recording features the fiery tenor Archie Shepp with his regularly working group of the period, a quintet also featuring trombonist Roswell Rudd, drummer Beaver Harris and both Donald Garrett and Lewis Worrell on basses. Although two pieces (Shepp's workout on piano on the ballad 'Sylvia' and his recitation on 'The Wedding') are departures, the quintet sounds particularly strong on Herbie Nichols' 'The Lady Sings the Blues' and 'Wherever June Bugs Go' while Shepp's ballad statement on 'In a Sentimental Mood' is both reverential and eccentric." -- All Music Guide

PETER FISH- THE SILVER APPLE LP (kindred spirits, netherlands)
24.98usd/15.19gbp/17.84eur/2451jpy (approx)


*Peter Fish is mainly known as a composer/arranger/producer for feature films, Top 10 singles and network television series. But jazz lovers will probably recognize him for his quality work as a jazz composer and multi-instrumentalist. During the 70’s young Peter Fish moved to New York and found himself in an environment where he was constantly surrounded by music and co-talent. It didn’t take long before Peter Fish created a collective of jazz musicians. Fish and his band of musical minds performed regularly throughout New York’s club circuit. Ali’s Alley (drummer Rashied Ali’s spot), Barbara’s in Greenwich Village, Mikell’s on the Upper West Side and small clubs in Brooklyn where places you could frequently drop into a beautiful session. This wonderful group of players included some who would go on to be amongst the brightest lights of modern jazz, including Jay Clayton (Vocals) and Adam Nussbaum (Drums). In the summer of 1975 Peter gathered his collective to record 5 compositions . The outcome was this great album ‘THE SILVER APPLE’ heavily influenced by Coltrane and his quartet, as well as by Cecil Taylor, Maurice McIntyre, Roswell Rudd and many musical greats. It’s a monumental LP as it will take you back to a truly unique time of jazz in New York.

CHARLES ‘CHA CHA’ SHAW- KINGDOME COME LP (kindred spirits, netherlands)
24.98usd/15.19gbp/17.84eur/2451jpy (approx)


*Never one to get pinned down to a single style, Charles has lent his bluesy burnished tone to spiritual jazz heavyweights like John Coltrane, Rashied Ali, and Elvin Jones, while also complimenting the funk soul brothers and sisters such as Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, The Ohio Players, and Rick James - just to hit the tip of the iceberg. While Cha Cha earnt his rep playing on classics such as Curtis Mayfield's 'Superfly' and 'Freddie's Dead' and The Tempations' 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone', it was as a band leader that he was able to combine his free spiritual modes with a funky dip for your hip. 'Kingdom Come' was his second album for Smithsonian Folkways back in 1979, and the opener 'Melted Soul' sets the tone for the LP - a tripped out mixture of funky heavy drums, echoey guitars and modal piano that sounds like some late 70's Sun Ra jam, and is far too short for it's own good. Elsewhere though, Charles loosens out into extended tracks, namely 'Kid Zaro', 'Right On', and 'Mr Zip', at times sounding like Phil Cohran or Joe McPhee, but keeping a distinct AEC or Black Renaissance style funk to proceedings. 'Kingdom Come' is Cha Cha Shaw's search to find the common melodies in different disparate styles, and combines abstract free jazz tones with spiritual gospel modes, while jamming over late 70's funk back beats. Way ahead of his time, and still taking cha-cha-chances!

V/A- MIAMI SOUND: RARE FUNK AND SOUL FROM MIAMI, FLORIDA 1967-1974 2LP (soul jazz, uk)
25.98usd/15.80gbp/18.55eur/2550jpy (approx)


*shop favorite repressed, originally released in 2003… With Soul Jazz Records' first albums now reaching prices larger than the originals on e-bay, the label continues to release some of its seminal, most in-demand back-catalogue. Miami Sound features rare and classic funk and deep soul from Miami, Florida from 1968-74. The album features million-selling artists such as Gwen McRae, George McRae and Timmy Thomas alongside artists unknown outside of the Sunshine State such as James Knight and The Butlers, Frank Williams and The Rocketeers and All the People. Miami Funk, Soul and Disco was dominated by TK Records, founded by Henry Stone in the late 1960s. Through a myriad of associated record labels such as Alston, Blue Candle, Dash, Glades, Cat and more, TK Records made international artists out of Gwen McRae and her brother George McRae, Betty Wright and KC and The Sunshine Band in the mid-70s crossover period between Soul and Disco. The music on this compilation shows the roots of this Miami Sound. All the artists and musicians on this album continued to work together throughout the heyday of TK Records when it produced hit after hit. The house band (that could be said to be equivalent to Motown's Funk Brothers) included songwriters such as Clarence Reid (AKA Blowfly, the adult comedian!), Casey Finch (KC from KC and The Sunshine Band) along with musicians Little Beaver, Frank Williams and Robert Moore. As well as being the in-house band, most of these artists also ran successful solo careers, making Miami one of the most musically creative hot spots in the USA. The artists on this compilation include Helene Smith, Miami's first lady of Soul, Frank Williams and The Rocketeers (featuring a very young Little Beaver on vocals), George McRae's rare-groove classic 'I Get Lifted' (written by Casey Finch), Timmy Thomas' truly experimental track 'Funky Me', Gwen McRae's classic '90% of Me' as well as a host of practically unknown Miami artists who never managed to make it outside the city borders! The album comes with loads of unique original photos and sleevenotes.

KEITH HUDSON- PLAYING IT COOL LP (basic replay, germany)
18.98usd/11.54gbp/13.55eur/1862jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… First release from a few years back on Basic Channel's and honest jon’s joint Jamaican reissue imprint, Basic Replay. Keith Hudson -- as is Lloyd Bullwackie Barnes, his collaborator here -- was a one-off innovator with impeccably classical lineage: his first studio recording involved former Skatalites; his earliest releases provided solid-gold hits for Ken Boothe ('Old Fashioned Way,' 1967), John Holt, Delroy Wilson, U-Roy and the rest. Playing It Cool & Playing It Right was released in 1981 on the Joint International label, in NYC. It was originally intended that one of Hudson's teenage sons would voice the dubs: in the event the Love Joys, Wayne Jarrett, and most inimitably Hudson himself featured at the microphone. Like Wackies, Hudson was a Studio One devotee -- 'I used to hold Don Drummond's trombone for him so I can be in the studio,' he once recalled -- and the album follows Coxsone's recent strategy of overdubbing signature rhythms. The Studio One sides were aimed at the dancefloor; Hudson's reworks of tracks like 'Melody Maker' are more psychological. Here deep Barrett Brothers rhythms are remixed deeper with reverb, filters and other distortion, pitched down, everything; and overlaid with new recordings, often heavily treated, of guitar, percussion, keyboard, voice. Playing It Cool is legendary, strange, utterly compelling music.

KEITH HUDSON- FLESH OF MY SKIN BLOOD OF MY BLOOD LP (basic replay, germany)
19.98usd/12.15gbp/14.27eur/1961jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Flesh Of My Skin... is the most hallowed of all those reggae albums which remain unavailable, and Keith Hudson's key achievement in a career launched when as a fourteen-year-old he recorded members of The Skatalites on his Shades Of Hudson rhythm. Originally released in 1974, after a series of solid-gold productions for Ken Boothe, Delroy Wilson, John Holt, U-Roy and the rest, it projects Hudson's removal from JA to London and New York studios and transatlantic audiences, and inaugurates a sequence of albums -- classics like 'Pick A Dub', 'Brand', 'Playing It Cool' -- which show his troubled experimentalism better suited to the LP than the cardinal 7" reggae format. Anchored here by Santa Davis and George Fullwood from the Soul Syndicate -- alongside musicians like Augustus Pablo, Count Ossie and Leroy Sibbles -- Hudson's mood is tormented and dazed, as on titles like 'Darkest Night', 'My Nocturne' and 'Testing My Faith' he struggles for Black senses of commitment --political, existential, religious -- at its breaking point. Magnificently and deadly serious, hauntingly unique, unmissable and unforgettable.

*shop favorite restocked… 'I was born and grew up in D'Aguilar Town, eastern Kingston, at the foot of Wareika Hill. I came up playing with Tommy McCook's Supersonics, and The Skatalites. I was the lead trombonist of Count Ossie's Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari. My first instrumental to hit was 'Lambs Bread Collie,' which I recorded with The Light Of Saba. These are my new recordings, blazing grounation roots reggae." -- Calvin Cameron. "This is 2007 dubwise roots reggae by Calvin Cameron from The Light Of Saba alongside his regular crew, and musicians like Deadly Headley Bennett, the original Saba drummers, and David Madden from the Black Ark -- with a special appearance by Tony Allen, architect of Fela Kuti's Afrobeat!


HOUSE, TECHNO AND DISCO



INTRUSION FEAT. PAUL ST. HILAIRE- LITTLE ANGEL 12” (echospace:detroit, usa)
12.98usd/7.89gbp/9.27eur/1274jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… This is the third and final installment in the Intrusion 12" series from Stephen Hitchell, culled from The Seduction Of Silence. "Little Angel" boasts a traditional dub & roots vibe and a stunning vocal performance from Paul St. Hilaire aka Tikiman. "Angel Version" adds a 4/4 thump and a deep bass line while a mighty conga rhythm takes hold. "A Night To Remember" showcases the dreamiest sides of horizontal house music. Loads of roots, space, unbelievable low-end and the sonic warmth you've come to love from the Echospace analog signature. Pressed on mixed colored vinyl (white, green & blue).

INTRUSION- THE SEDUCTION OF SILENCE 12” (echospace:detroit, usa)
12.98usd/7.89gbp/9.27eur/1274jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… The title track "Seduction" is an epic beauty as deep as the sea. The bass line reminds of King Tubby or Lee Perry in structure but with the depth of Basic Channel or Rhythm & Sound. The song reveals magical analog frequencies with shards of dub skanks and blissful chords that you will get lost in. "Silence" leads into a succinct ambient piece and cv313 provides a near 12-minute mix of "Seduction." A spiritual journey of the space, bass and analog warmth we've come to love from the Echospace/Deepchord signature.

INTRUSION- TSWANA DUB 12” (echospace:detroit, usa)
12.98usd/7.89gbp/9.27eur/1274jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… The mysterious Intrusion project delivers an epic release so analog, so tonal, and so rich, you have to surrender to its beauty. The original mix is dubbed-out bliss: smooth, textured pads and a bass line even King Tubby would surrender to. So analog and lo-fi, you would think this was recorded at Studio 1 in the 1960s. On the flip, Brendon Moeller serves up island grooves with heavy bass reductions, live melodicas, a brass section and spatially-aware dub FX. Pressed on green marbled vinyl.

INTRUSION- INTRUSION DUB 2X12” (echospace:detroit, usa)
26.98usd/16.41gbp/19.27eur/2648jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Limited pressing on mixed colored vinyl, packaged by hand with chrome stickers. An organic variation of selected waveforms processed through select resistors, analog modulators and vintage VCOs much in the spirit of King Tubby's revolutionary sound design concepts. Original recordings were produced somewhere in Detroit in the winter months of 1993-1998, Transferred from tape, reshaped & remastered in 2008.

MODEL 500- STARLIGHT 12” (echospace:detroit, usa)
12.98usd/7.89gbp/9.27eur/1274jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… One of Detroit's most respected names, Mike Huckaby serves up a floor-burning epic with his "S Y N T H" mix of Juan Atkins' classic, "Starlight." It opens with shards of metallic chords, colored in deep analog emotion and Mike's expert use of the legendary Waldorf Wave synthesizer. After the smoke clears, we're morphed into subversive ambient territory with Intrusion's ambient voyage in which a single chord evokes an ocean of emotion. Slow-motion metamorphosis. Love in lo-fi. Stunning.

CV313- DIMENSIONAL SPACE 12” (echospace:detroit, usa)
12.98usd/7.89gbp/9.27eur/1274jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Strictly limited pressing! Release number two drops from the mysterious CV313 with two of the most advanced post-Basic Channel transmissions you're ever heard. "Dimensional" is drenched in the usual emissions and accidental analog degradations of Space Echo and banks of old effects units, and "Space" picks up on this momentum and utilizes the same sound palette for an even more padded techno blueprint. A masterfully modern re-wiring of the deepest of all techno's strands, from the heart of Detroit.

CV313- DEEPSPACE 12” (fortune8, uk)
14.98usd/9.11gbp/10.70eur/1470jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Fortune8 presents the mysterious CV313 with Deepspace. "Saraya" is a kind of padded vocoder session that takes the robust pads of Maurizio and layers them with slivers of pitched synths and squashed vox. "Motor" is a more stripped-down affair, a quasi-electroid skeleton dictating proceedings while the percussion is kept to a clipped 4/4 template. "Deepspace" is the most euphoric of the tracks -- like Echospace during the height of peak-time.

CV313- AFFINITI 12” (fortune8, uk)
14.98usd/9.11gbp/10.70eur/1470jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Rumors abound about CV313, their connection to the Echospace camp adding much fuel to the fire about just who it might be behind the controls. Following on from their Dimensional Space 12", Affiniti is a more progressive beast, with "Galaxy 313" situating itself between Convextion's low-end reductions, Rod Modell's stretched chords and Carl Finlow's electroid variations. "Oceans" delivers a beatless coda that's like Echospace's The Coldest Season, while "Affiniti" is a more direct dancefloor missive, with one-note bass hits and synthetic effects.

SOULTEK- DREAMING UNDER A STARLIT SKY 12” (fortune8, uk)
14.98usd/9.11gbp/10.70eur/1470jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Steve Hitchell returns with a second 12" for Fortune8. His love of Detroit techno is apparent on the shimmering title track, a vintage Motor City session in 4/4 that brings to mind classic Carl Craig or even Stasis. "Elektrikcity" has a more Chicago house vibe to it, though Hitchell's signature pads also make a swift appearance. "Forever Feeling" is another Detroit standard, the synth progressions acting as melody and bass line -- the kind of musical conceit we just adore.

SOULTEK- CLOUDS OVERHEAD 12” (fortune8, uk)
14.98usd/9.11gbp/10.70eur/1470jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Steve Hitchell is one-half of Deepchord's Echospace project, the man behind the Echospace imprint, and noted producer in his own right under the Soultek moniker. Clouds Overhead finds a more sugar-coated equilibrium between the dense constructions of Echospace and the welcoming melodic structures of classic electronic music from the mid-to-late 1990s. Hitchell makes the kind of instrumental music that tugs at the heartstrings without ever resorting to sappy ingredients. Weighty dancefloor material and gorgeous stuff -- strictly limited copies!

RHYTHM & SOUND W/ PAUL ST. HILAIRE- MUSIC A FE RULE 12” (rhythm and sound, germany)
11.98usd/7.28gbp/8.56eur/1175jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… After four 10" singles on Burial Mix, here is the first 12" on Rhythm & Sound's own imprint. More exceedingly deep dub excursions with the Basic Channel affiliation, with Tikiman's echo-scattered vocals on one side, an instrumental version on the other.

RHYTHM & SOUND W/ PAUL ST. HILAIRE/CHOSEN BROTHERS- MANGO WALK/MANGO DRIVE 12” (rhythm and sound, germany)
11.98usd/7.28gbp/8.56eur/1175jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… This very special release is a collaboration with the Wackies label. Rhythm & Sound -- this Berlin-based techno dub project -- offers us this brilliant 3 track release. The A-side features an unreleased track, 'Mango Walk' from 1979 by the legendary Chosen Brothers backed by Bullwackie's Allstars and a dub version. The B-side features a reworked version by Rhythm & Sound.

RHYTHM & SOUND- ROLL OFF/B 12” (rhythm and sound, germany)
11.98usd/7.28gbp/8.56eur/1175jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… As a pretaster for a full length CD, here is a new Rhythm & Sound release. Famous deep dub techno from Berlin. This 12" features two more experimental instrumentals.

RHYTHM & SOUND W/ SAVAGE- SMILE 12” (rhythm and sound, germany)
11.98usd/7.28gbp/8.56eur/1175jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Here we have three new tracks by the well known Rhythm & Sound. One side being 'Smile' with vocal appearance by Savage, a new artist with a Caribbean background, in a vein similar to Paul St. Hilaire's performance on the first Rhythm & Sound ('Music A Fe Rule'). The other side contains the two new tracks: 'Distance' and 'Range.' These tracks are more in a free, empty and sound-oriented vein similar to their earlier work on Basic Channel.

RHYTHM & SOUND- CARRIER 12” (rhythm and sound, germany)
11.98usd/7.28gbp/8.56eur/1175jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Here we have three tracks by well-known Rhythm & Sound. No vocals this time -- these tracks are more in a free, empty and sound oriented vein similar to their earlier work on Basic Channel.

RHYTHM & SOUND- TRACE 12” (rhythm and sound, germany)
11.98usd/7.28gbp/8.56eur/1175jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… Berlin's Basic Channel Crew has been most influential in the field of minimal techno soundscapes. With the sub-labels Maurizio, Main Street Records, Burial Mix and Rhythm & Sound, Mark Ernestus and Moritz Von Oswald created platforms for different aspects of their own productions, and with Chain Reaction for productions from their musical environment. The present 12" is a teaser for the Rhythm & Sound compilation CD which contains most of the material released on the 12" singles on the Rhythm & Sound label so far.

RHYTHM & SOUND- AGROUND 12” (rhythm and sound, germany)
11.98usd/7.28gbp/8.56eur/1175jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… The seventh 12" single on the Rhythm & Sound label. Within the output range of Rhythm & Sound's production, this label is the platform for more free or abstract material, with the Burial Mix label focusing on vocal tunes and the respective versions/dubs. With the heavyweight 'Aground' and the densely atmospheric 'Aerial' (with paul st. hilaire superb distant background vocals) this is an excellent start for a new series.

RHYTHM & SOUND- RHYTHM & SOUND CD (honest jon’s, uk)
18.98usd/11.54gbp/13.55eur/1862jpy (approx)


*shop favorite restocked… 2001 release, available again. Berlin's Basic Channel Crew has been most influential in the field of minimal Techno-Soundscapes. With the sub-labels Maurizio, Main Street Records, Burial Mix and Rhythm & Sound Mark Ernestus und Moritz Von Oswald created platforms for different aspects of their own productions, and with Chain Reaction for productions from their musical environment. The present CD contains most of the material released on the Rhythm & Sound label -- only on vinyl 12"/10" so far -- since it's launch in 1998. The material is remastered and partially edited for CD format, to create a continuous flow through the wide spectrum ranging from minimal, abstract electronics to driving uptempo grooves with a stronger influence of classic Jamaican dub elements in the best Basic Channel tradition, including highlights like 'Smile', the only vocal track (featuring Savage), 'Mango Drive' a re-shape of the Chosen Brothers' 1979 unreleased Reggae tune 'Mango Walk', or 'No Partial', inspired by the essential, though never generally released 'Higher Fieldmarshall Dub' by the Wailers Band. Packaged in a stunning 'nature' digipack again.
