remastered 50th anniversary reissue.

erste offizielle neuauflage der überaus erhabenen und sehr seltenen -butterfly- lp, das 1979 in tokio von der japanischen sängerin kimiko kasai und der jazzlegende herbie hancock aufgenommen wurde. aufgrund seines extrem seltenen status als reine japan-veröffentlichung erhielt diese exquisite sammlung von covers trotz ihrer unglaublich inspirierten darbietungen von kimiko, herbie und den äußerst talentierten musikern, die für das projekt zusammengestellt wurden, nie die anerkennung, die sie verdient hatte. vom himmlischen schlagzeuger alphonse mouzon und dem renommierten organisten webster lewis bis zum bassisten paul jackson, dem reedman bennie maupin und dem master-perkussionisten bill summers haben die legendären performer erstaunlich gute vocal-versionen von herbie / headhunters jazz-funk komponiert. es überrascht nicht, dass es seit vielen jahren stark nachgefragt ist.

morning factorys second yore ep, after their critically acclaimed debut ep forgotten moments, is clearly bursting of talent once again and without a doubt. once again weve got a hard-grooving four-tracker from netherlands duo jean-pierre van der leeuw and jozef lemmens (aka loves got me high and enzovoort) thats a match for anything else in the yore discography!

mount liberation unlimited is formed of sunbeams, sockerbitar, and swedes ! chance members of a stockholm-based band during their late teens, tom lagerman and niklas janzon found themselves peeling off from the pack to smoke and make techno. dreaming of a global dance music community in which artists are allowed anonymity, the two set out to service this secret society by soundtracking happy-making moments under the mount liberation unlimited guise. mlu s third release, (eerie) for your love, developed organically and inversely from their live set into the studio. in this procedural fluidity, hypnotic live takes animate as tenacious tone, melody, and groove. mlu s method relies upon thee jam, the feeling shared in the moment, and then revisiting that friendzied magic. this dedication to spontaneity is tempered by a naive faith in one another, an unspoken jibber jabber that melds two minds together in childlike harmony.
