Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, the mysterious steel pan outfit from Hamburg, have amassed a cult following around the globe. With a slew of classic 7"s and three critically acclaimed full length albums, they set a high bar for themselves, one which they clearly intend on pushing to even higher heights with this new offering. On their fourth album BRSB, Bacao return with more of the same, but more of the same with them is of course inherently different. Covering songs that span genres, and range from mega-hits to underground album cuts, they make them their own with their unique approach to the traditional steel pans of Trinidad and Tobago. While part of the allure of a new Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band album is finding out what covers they choose, it is equally intriguing to see what original tunes they've cooked up alongside these, and this record is foul of standout originals. from 'In The Crosshairs' to 'Grilled' to 'Treasure Quest'.
For 23 straight Saturday nights of 1982, The Chicago Party dance show assaulted Chicagoland UHF eyeballs with Spandex, Southside fly guys, tender tenderonies, magicians, contortionists, prismatic video gimmickry, and lip-synched singles by a rising regime of local post-disco casualties. Unfettered nightlife and outlandish humor poured out of oddball outpost The CopHerBox II and onto TV screens, presented here as a 100 minute video mixtape on DVD. Its companion compilation features five previously unreleased tracks, joined by music culled from a trove of self-released 45s and small-time 12"s. Die-cut cathode-ray jacket and six in-package stills put the Party at your fingertips.
Coming off the heels of 2022's A New Kind of Love, A Trip To The Moon sees GFO diving even deeper in the worlds of film music, exotica, and psychedelic surf rock. The aim is to create a layered and collaged listening experience with more elements than you could possibly pick out in a single listen. The guitars are fuzzy and flooded with spring reverb, and the horns are arranged in a studio big band fashion. It's full of big compositions with garage rock attitude. Influences range everywhere from Eddie Palmieri and Esquivel to The Lively Ones, Dusty Springfield, and War. The tracks are tied together by real recorded transmissions from the Apollo moon missions. The concept for the album is a story about a woman stranded on earth by her cosmonaut partner, left to ponder his whereabouts and whether or not he'll make it back from the cosmos alive.
Quantum Web is the new album from Discovery Zone, the experimental pop project of musician and multimedia artist JJ Weihl. Dipping into a pool of musically stylistic depth and flipping themes of omnipresence in advertising and corporate culture sterility into aesthetic guideposts for her omnivorous compositions, Quantum Web represents the next evolutionary phase of Discovery Zone while arranging the past, present, and future across the infinite, invisible web that interconnects us all. First edition vinyl includes a printed inner sleeve with album lyrics.
Black Vinyl Edition.Alors que l’émancipation des années 60 cédait la place à la faillite sociétale des années 70, une musique noire survoltée est apparue pour illustrer l’agonie d’une Amérique à la croisée des chemins. Enregistré au DB Sound de Silver Spring, dans le Maryland, par le producteur R. Jose Williams, Your Funny Moods s’articule autour des rythmes et des claviers du batteur James Purdie. Remasterisée ici à partir des bandes analogiques originales, cette édition du 50e anniversaire est le summum de l’harmonie soul.
If you're keyed into the modern classical stretch of the contemporary ambient world, you'll have likely discovered Kali Malone before. Her works have been largely focused on the organ, which she has pushed into all manner of experimental realms as a vessel for life-affirming drones, but don't be misled into thinking that's the only tool in her kit. Malone is a constantly evolving, inquisitive artist and her new album All Life Long confirms this with specific pieces for voice and brass performed by Macadam Ensemble and Anima Brass. Rewarding the patient listener and breaking new ground in her compelling, studious approach to music, this is another firm reminder of Malone's formidable presence in contemporary experimental music circles.
Après le succès de la compilation Tokyo Glow, Wewantsounds s’associe de nouveau au DJ japonais Notoya, pour creuser le riche catalogue du label Electric Bird et proposer une sélection de pépites jazz funk enregistrées entre 1978 et 1987. Sous-label du vénérable label japonais King Records, Electric Bird avait été créé en 1977 pour répondre aux besoins grandissants du public jazz funk japonais. Le label recrute alors la vague de musiciens de jazz japonais qui monte, les faisant enregistrer dans des studios à Tokyo ou New York, accompagnés par les meilleurs musiciens américains et japonais afin de façonner le son jazz funk élégant et ensoleillé qui va devenir la signature d’Electric Bird. Cette sélection triée sur le volet met en avant la diversité de la production du label, depuis le titre funky “In The Sky” du trompettiste Shunzo Ohno (qui joue ici des claviers) au groove mid-tempo solaire du saxophoniste Toshiyuki Honda et son “Living in à City” avec Paulinho Da Costa aux percussions en passant par “Let’s Get Together” emmené par le Fender Rhodes de Mikio Masuda. L’un des temps forts est “Space Traveller” de Katsutoshi Morizono de 1978, un remake du classique éponyme de James Vincent enregistré deux ans auparavant avec des musiciens d’Earth Wind And Fire. On trouve également une poignée de pointures américaines comme Ronnie Foster et Bobby Lyle. La plupart des titres font leur début sur vinyle en dehors du Japon et ont été remasterisés
Anches En Maat is the first new album from Grails in over a half-decade - following the masterful Chalice Hymnal in 2017 - and their first album recorded with all members in the studio together since Doomsdayer's Holiday in 2008. A strange mixture of 1980s softcore, daytime soap opera lounge and nods to musique concrete make this the group's most challenging full-length project yet, with the likes of 'Black Rain' and 'Sad & Illegal' seeming to toe the lines of everything from lost cinematic soul to elemental prog, with the spectre of film seeming to haunt its every lilt and impact.
Formed in 1984, Ghost burgeoned slowly, blowing open the gate in 1990 with their eponymous debut. Opening with a vast spirit plosion – shards of antique light and clouds of centuries-old, dust-laden airs escaping from a primeval tomb – they settle into the deep feeling. A variety of mostly acoustic instruments aids their projection of traditional sounds from space and time, troubadours of unknown, an enigma of eternal trippiness all about them.
Andras Fox is a man of many different talents and aliases, and as A.R.T. Wilson he explores his most new age and ambient soundscapes. Originally conceived as the soundtrack to Rebecca Jensen and Sarah Aitken's contemporary dance piece 'Overworld', this record is at once tinged with an aching nostalgia for a time you probably never actually lived, but also hopeful visions for the future. The tunes are gorgeously airy and empty and unavoidably charming. Gentle rhythms, breaking waves, soft drum patter and sustained pads all add up to heavenly musical painting of idyllic and faraway beaches. The seven years in between this album being first put out and this new reissue have done nothing to diminish its naturalistic charms.
Meiko Kaji is renowned for her influential contributions to Japanese cinema and music and none are as standout as Gincho Wataridori which stands alone as a masterful musical odyssey that was first released in 1973. The record is a sonic tapestry that weaves traditional Japanese folk elements with contemporary arrangements all the while showcasing Kaji's evocative vocals and poetic lyricism. The title track, 'Gincho Wataridori,' encapsulates the album's ethereal beauty and finds Kaji's emotive delivery accompanied by lush instrumentation to create a haunting atmosphere that resonates with listeners. A cinematic journey throughout, Gincho Wataridori stands as a testament to Meiko Kaji's ability to transcend genres and craft timeless musical soundscapes.
Souvenirs est le premier album chanté de la religieuse, compositrice et pianiste éthiopienne bien aimée Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru. Ce sont des enregistrements faits sur casse8es, profondément émouvants, réalisés au milieu des bouleversements poli:ques et de la tourmente. Ce sont des chansons de sagesse, de perte, de deuil et d'exil, chantées directement dans un boombox et accompagnées par le piano incomparable d'Emahoy. Bien qu'il ait été écrit et enregistré alors qu'elle vivait encore dans sa maison familiale à Addis-Abeba, Emahoy chante le chagrin d'être loin de chez soi, une réflexion sur la révolution de 1974 et la Terreur rouge en Éthiopie, et un pressentiment de son futur exil à Jérusalem. Au XXIe siècle, Emahoy est devenue célèbre dans le monde entier pour son style mélodique et rythmique tout à fait unique.
La bande originale inédite du film de 1964, You’re Not From Around Here, découverte après 55 ans dans les archives de Louis Wayne Moody. Un album plein de trémolos sinueux, de reverb vengeresse et d’échos existentiels. Des chansons sur l’aliénation, la paranoïa, les ruelles sombres, la trahison, la prison, la prostitution, les trains et la route poussiéreuse et solitaire de la découverte de soi. Une affaire en noir et blanc piégée sous le poids d’une allure technicolor d’après-guerre, You’re Not From Around Here vit dans un univers d’ambiguïté morale.
The second of Louis Wayne Moody’s trilogy of mid-century noirs, 1966’s runaway adventure They Move In The Night follows the escapades of “The Kids”—teenage siblings Cara and Applejack Seaworth—as they set out across America by thumb, rail, and bicycle in search of their long lost father—”The Man.” Hunted by the F.B.I., P.T.A., C.T.A., animal control, and a wicked grandmother dead set on claiming their inheritance, The Kids must come to grips with their orphaned reality and an unyielding future.Discovered after spending 58 years on a dusty shelf in the Louis Wayne Moody Pictures vault, this previously unissued soundtrack contains a backpack’s worth of grieving guitars, somber surf, and haunting hiss, zipped tight with the teeth of abandonment, dashed dreams, moral ambiguity, fate, tearful goodbyes, and lukewarm diner coffee. Because the long arm of society nips at their heels... They Move In The Night.
On ‘Motherless Father’ Lefto reliably sticks to the soulful guns that have made him a DJ’s DJ over the decades, and a constant in scenes that have shifted from late ‘90s hip hop to ‘00s wonky beats movements via deep house and all that jazz.Opener ‘Diane Charlemagne’ is a sweet downbeat cover of the late singer’s evergreen vocal for Goldie’s ‘Inner City Life’, sung by Iman Houssein, setting up an earthy suite that sweeps from the NWAQ-like deep house of ‘Love Supreme (Part 1 and 2) ft. Ain;’t About me, thru the Theo-esque swag of ‘The Elegance of a dancing Body’, to the West London broken beats drive of ‘Electric’ and soulful flight ‘I Sing to Fin Peace of Mind’ starring Simbad on vocals, thru the woodcut jazz-to-juke ace ‘Live in Darkness and wait for Brighter Days’, KDJ vibes on ‘I Feel Pain but Can’t Describe It’, and a weighty but deft downstroke ‘One Day You Smile, One Day You Cry’ recalling Express Rising.
Due to the strong demand for vinyl versions a 2×12? with the most sought-after tracks is available as well as a maxi of the exclusive new track “Black Baby”, which makes Kruder & Dorfmeister “DJ-Kicks” the reference album 1996 for beat-fans of all kind.
Originally released in 1977, Ebo Taylorʼs self-titled album is a rarity that truly exposes the genius of the Ghanaian producer and arranger. Having spent most of the 1970s involved in Ghanaʼs afro-funk output, working with different bands and musicians alike, Taylor put forward his own unique blend of Ghanaian highlife and afro-beat with this self-titled release.

Here's an all-time classic to kick back and roll a fat one to. 1996 was a landmark time for trip-hop and downtempo, and alongside DJ Shadow's Endtroducing came this silky smooth delight from Japanese turntablist maestro DJ Krush and jazz trumpeter Toshinori Kondo. Smoky beats and laconic chord licks form the perfect backdrop to Kondo's muted trumpet, and the mood just unfurls from the get-go in a brilliant reimagining of what lounge jazz could be in the fusion-fuelled 1990s. It's a benchmark which has been often imitated and rarely bettered, more than worthy of a remaster and repress on double vinyl.
Back in 2016, Lars Bartkuhn was on a quest to expand his musical horizons. Inspired by the idea of the desert as a transformative place – an alien environment whose combination of vastness and beauty challenges those lost within it to first find themselves before they can find a way out – he loaded up his sampler with sub-Saharan samples and set about making two 12” singles, ‘Nomad’ and ‘Massai’, which subsequently appeared on Utopia Records.Following completion of work on his 2023 album Dystopia, a conceptual ambient meditation built around electronic and acoustic improvisations, the German musician and producer decided to return to the core ideas that inspired those two 12” singles. Once again, he wanted to challenge himself, explore the more exotic side of his musical influences, and discover a course through the musical desert to ultimately become a better musician, producer, and composer.The result is Nomad, an album that not only brings together two sides of his work – the immersive ambient explorations at the heart of Dystopia, and the club-focused rhythms that marked out his early career deep house explorations – but also draws on a familiar palette of influences, from Latin jazz-fusion and the deep jazz brilliance of ECM Records releases, to the ‘fourth world’ works of Jon Hassell and the African music that had initially inspired the ‘Nomad’ and ‘Massai’ singles.Searching from the start for a more ‘analogue’ sound – hand percussion, kalimba, piano, voice, bass guitar, acoustic and electric guitars, alongside the modular synth sounds that were such a part of Dystopia – Bartkuhn combined improvisational and traditional composition techniques, painstaking editing, tweaking and reworking tracks over an extended period.

Fantasising in between satin sheets on the hottest day of the year because art and imagination mean freedom from the solitude of the mind.Mi Dimentico makes beauty out of melancholy, and nostalgia out of the oscillation between resignation and demand.Sanctified EP is naked skin over a sunken heart, and a soaring mind.
Don’t believe your ears - Pepper’s Ghost is the latest offering from NYC project Nuke Watch.Whatever you think it is - it is not. By the same token it really can be whatever you want - electronica, jazz, improv, noise, new age, ambient - it’s none and all of these. Like the primitive visual illusion it’s named for - Pepper’s Ghost is a projection of a thing, it’s not the thing.The Nuke Watch method - like that of Aaron Anderson and Chris Hontos’ other primary project Beat Detectives - leans almost entirely on live improvisation, with some advanced studio alchemy in post. Where the Beat Detectives palette draws from club music tropes, Nuke Watch blends recognizable tones (hand drums, woodwinds, keys, fretless bass) with sounds of providence unknown, the line between organic and synthesized instrumentation unintelligibly smudged. What is real and what is projection? It’s hard to say. What do our ears tell us? This is where we arrive at Pepper’s Ghost.Warped as the sounds may be, the playing belies a crew of deeply expressive, learned improvisers who have their craft honed. Their friendship and psychic connection enhances the ritualistic rhythms, mutant modular synthesis, nimble keyboard runs, absurdist sampling and unidentified skronk. They’re wonderfully complemented across several tracks on this set by Cole Pulice’s levitational, sublime saxophone.
An official re-issue of the 1996 album, Beyond the Circle, from Dr. Osamu Kitajima presented by Forest Jams on vinyl for the first time.As the title suggests, Japanese music explorer Osamu Kitajima takes the listener beyond the known on a musical voyage into new territory where his compositions are a synthesis of Western electronics and ambient dance rhythms, tempered by the wisdom of ancient Japanese traditions. "Beyond the Circle" is music that is as energizing as it is spiritual and melodic.
Music From Memory is delighted to present ‘Elevations’, a new album from Manchester based artist Tom Burford, aka Contours.Drawing heavily on his background as a drummer and percussionist, ‘Elevations’ began as an exploration of the Balafon, a Malian tuned percussion instrument, before organically growing into its final form; a delicate suite of compositions centered around rhythmical interactions of percussion, synthesizer and strings.Recorded during the pandemic and the period following, the album reflects a desire to lose oneself in the expanse of nature - the title ‘Elevations’ being a direct nod to the mountainous area of Cumbria where Tom grew up. The album also represents the joy of creating with friends; it features performances from several of his musical contemporaries, many of which were recorded at his home in Manchester. Slowly taking shape, the final result is a record that seamlessly blends electronic and acoustic, operating at the intersection of Minimalism, Jazz, Fourth World and Contemporary Classical music.
After more than 6 years of silence, Abschaum is finally back with a new album, and it was about time because this new opus is sublime!!‘Shamanic’ Chris (Abschaum’s mastermind), made alone this magnificent piece of Folk, Ambient, Kraut music, that he carefully recorded in the mountains of Jura, experimenting with his guitar and a little electronic set-up, composing beautiful melodies and singing French lyrics with powerful voice to bring us to another level of harmonies, the all merged with special atmospheres that are not without remembering Eno or Froese sometimes. In our opinion, this record could easily been recognise as a timeless masterpiece in the future.
Sons of Ethiopia by Admas, the 1984 Ethiopian synth treasure - reissued !Frederiksberg Records is proud to announce the first ever vinyl / digital reissue of Admas’ “Sons of Ethiopia”, the privately pressed album from 1984. Fully licensed from Admas, released with their support, the album includes restored sound and art. The extensively researched booklet features unseen photographs and interviews with the band.Sons of Ethiopia is a mostly instrumental album, rich with global influences. It is one of the few recordings to be produced outside Ethiopia in the early 1980s. It is a key document of the Washington DC exile scene. The core members of Admas – Tewodros ‘Teddy’ Aklilu, Henock Temesgen, and Abegasu Shiota – had previously played in a group called Gasha, one of the few local Ethiopian bands. Admas was born from Gasha, as an outlet for their more experimental instincts.Emerging from the community of Ethiopian exiles who fled the brutality of the Derg – the military dictatorship that had deposed Haile Selassie – the album was the sound of a new generation. The members of Admas were not musicians from the ‘golden age’: they were children of the terror of the Derg time. Their music formed during an era of state-sponsored neighbourhood bands and a propaganda-tinged traditional music scene, where the weekends were sound-tracked by the remaining hotel groups of a bygone Imperial world.Admas took Ethiopian popular music into wholly new territory. Having established a residency at the Red Sea restaurant in the early 1980s, the Admas players were steeped in the polyglot musical culture of the American capital. The diverse sonic influences of the city filter into the music, making the album a radically modern work of Ethiopian fusion.Mulatu, Girma Beyene and their peers in 1960s Addis Ababa had created an Ethiopian pop sound by using rhythms from Latin music, soul and jazz. Admas threw their net wider still, adding highlife, electro, go-go, samba, and roots reggae to the mix.
** 2024 Repress **When Chaos In The CBD’s Midnight In Peckham first emerged back in 2015, Rhythm Section International was but a promising young imprint with a handful of releases under its belt. Fast forward three years and the RS catalogue numbers almost two-dozen drops on vinyl alone. Despite greater competition for places, this quartet of Motor City Drum Ensemble-esque tunes is still one of the jewels in the label’s crown, and that'll be why it's been re-pressed.
