the late steve reid, veteran jazz drummer and percussionist, and kieran hebden (four tet), the british electronic musician/producer young enough to be his grandson, present the fifth and final installment of their momentous synergy. the music on this double cd was recorded in concert on 20 june 2009 in the foyer of the queen elizabeth hall at london s southbank centre, as part of the meltdown festival curated by free jazz legend ornette coleman. for this marathon workout, reid and hebden were joined by swedish power saxophonist mats gustafsson, whose fiery blowing style had inspired kieran to seek out a drummer like steve to work with in the first place. live at the south bank stands as a memorial to a thrilling and productive partnership sadly cut off in its prime.

little nobody Ð in fact australian expat andrez bergen, whos been based in tokyo these past 10 years Ð then decided to ask justin robertson (lionrock) to remix. while counting on robertsons experience rebooting bjšrk, happy mondays, fatboy slim, luke slater and felix da housecat, andrez is also a long-time fan and suspected the mix-master would have an absolute field day here Ð which he apparently did, giving the ingredients a good hearty shake and delivering a concoction that stunned everybody.

dave.i.d likes to think for himself. always has done. its the reason why his debut album didnt go quite according to his initial plan. he was going to make, to use his own words, >something pretty simple and straightforward<. but then he noticed lots of his friends were discovering new beliefs. some even tried to convert him. >im very open-minded to different beliefs, but i question and see things slightly differently,< he says. without necessarily wanting to, he found himself reflecting on existential questions. >the album is a record of the time that it was made, and thats what was going on in my life at the time. i didnt necessarily want to make the debut album like that. i felt i had to make it<. the cerebral inspiration catapulted him into musics outer rim. he beamed back a dark, dense sometimes confrontational sound, but ultimately compelling sound. but, in the end, it turned out to be a happy accident because the resulting record, called >response< appropriately enough, is mind-bendingly inventive, brilliantly off-kilter and constantly surprising. crucially, the tough sonics are paired with killer melodies: this is deep, heavy music you can hum. the records he was listening to while making >response< help make sense of his singular sound

nice price deal !!! four years since osunlade has graced us with an original full length house album. his next release and self-proclaimed last house release is nearing the gate. pyrography is an evolution incorporating the signature yoruba soul sound, bridging organic and electronic. braced with more vocal songs than any of osunlades previous house offerings, he has created an innovative endeavour. tracks including idiocyncracy, the infectious envision, and the yoruba chant of ser al santisimo showcase the wonderful palette of the musical diversity encompassed here. in addition to the album itself, osunlade has teamed up with the amazing talent of pyrography artist scott marr to create an original art experience harking back to the days when these two art forms were one and showcasing the synergy between them. the result is a very special selection of >fire paintings< created for each track making up the artwork for pyrography.

this is a journey into our sound! an album in a reserved spiritual cast, thats complete down to its individual tracks. spin this record any way you please. from a pure jammed out playfulness there grew a sparkling conversation between the winds and those with keys and sometimes a rugged funk, others a finely-sensed jazz, and then completely improvised. a music with value added for an urbane, scenic people and for everyone whose heart beats along.

its a brighter, more immediate sound than before warmer, too, with the singers voices positively glowing inside intricately woven electronic nests. but theres no lack of nuance. every track is a delicate balance of intimate delivery and cosmic sonics, underscored by a faint sense of melancholy.
