memories — places. vacancies. allusions — are fundamental characters in mary lattimore’s evocative craft. inside her music. wordless narratives. indefinite travelogues. and braided events skew into something enchantingly new. the los angeles-based harpist recorded her breakout 2016 album. at the dam. during stops along a road trip across america. letting the serene landscapes of joshua tree and marfa. texas color her compositions. in 2017. she presented collected pieces. a tape compiling sounds from her past life in philadelphia: odes to the east coast. burning motels. and beach town convenience stores. in 2018. from a restorative station — a redwood barn. nestled in the hills above san francisco s golden gate bridge — emanates hundreds of days. her second full-length lp with ghostly international. the record sojourns between silences and speech. between microcosmic daily scenes and macrocosmic universal understandings. between being alien in promising new places and feeling torn from old native havens. it’s an expansive new chapter in lattimore’s story. and an expression of mystified gratitude. a study in how ordinary components helix together to create an extraordinary world.

nichts passt besser zu dieser aussage auf diese wundervoll zusammengestellte und verzaubernde musikselektion. die. wie auch jeder agnes obel-song. ruhe und frieden ausstrahlt. es ist die entschleunigte antithese zur rush hour. wie ein zugefrorener see an einem sonntagmorgen. agnes obel verbindet songs der enigmatischen jamaikanerin nora dean (eine duke reid produktion) mit dem kargen. bitterbösen -party girl- von michelle gurevich. das den gleichnamigen französischen film inspirierte. wehmütige stimmen von the bulgarian folklore choir. nina simone. ray davies und agnes selbst treffen auf mehr oder weniger elektronische tracks von yello. can und der griechischen kultkomponistin lena platonos. garniert wird die kollektion mit neuem agnes obel-material wie den dänischen song -glemmer du-. die vertonung von inger christensens -poem for death-. sowie den song -bee dance-. die doppel-lp erscheint als limitierte 180g pressung mit allen 19 ausgespielten tracks. audiophil auf halber geschwindigkeit gemastered. inkl. bonus-download-code mit allen tracks (einmal komplett ausgespielt. einmal als mixset) in wav/mp3-formaten. im gatefold mit antistatischen innentaschen plus kunstdruck in 12- größe.

rickard jäverling. born and raised in borlange. sweden. and now living and working in stockholm is a wayward and productive musician. besides releasing material under his own name. jäverling is/has been part of constellations such as dodens dal. liljor and jäverling von euler. album 3. released on hoga nord rekords is his third solo album. album 3 breathes psychedelia. dub. swedish folk. progg and continental vintage electronic music. the songs on this album are in a way like a compilation of short stories rather than chapters in a novel. the common factor in this album is jäverlings exquisitely worked out melodies and the warm. round production but the songs can. due to the rich storytelling qualities of each one of them. almost be regarded as small albums of their own! the music made by richard jäverling is an embrace. a relative with a house by the swedish west coast or a day off. midweek in april. this album is inviting and calming but also as solid and mighty as a dalecarlian beech tree.

aal record on other people. pressed on to wax due to popular demand.

exclusive rsd blue vinyl edition of original album + bonus tracks + remixes. deluxe sleeve gatefold. matt varnish. hot foil (blue). the blue notebooks is one of max richters most successful albums to date and it was originally composed in the run-up to the 2003 invasion of iraq. richter has described it as a protest album about iraq. a mediation on violence both the violence that i had personally experienced around me as a child and the violence of war. at the utter futility of so much armed conflict. the album was recorded about a week after mass protests against the war. it features readings from franz kafka s the blue octavo notebooks and czes&#322......aw mi&#322......oszs hymn of the pearl and unattainable earth. both readings are by the british actress tilda swinton.

back in 90s san francisco scott. gavin and robbie hardkiss helped pioneer the american underground scene with their club nights. warehouse parties and groundbreaking record label. they forged a new direction for dance music with a string of vinyl releases by hawke. god within. little wing and rabbit in the moon. culminating in the seminal compilation delusions of grandeur released in 1995. delusions of grandeur made the billboard dance charts. went to no.1 on the rolling stone alternative album chart and launched the international dj/production careers of the hardkiss brothers. in 2018 to celebrate the 20th anniversary. the album was remastered and re-released with this new vinyl.

sent from a nearby star system. from one world to ours. wondering the streets with misguided importance. how du is new to our planet. but does not yet know why he is here. only that he must heal himself and all those he meets in order to find his home. an inherent feeling that he has arrived to protect and serve others from the deepest patterns of evil overwhelms him. evil that spreads through the mind in conscious frequencies of the brain. areas we call the shadow realms of oneself. unable to communicate in the correct language his correspondence with earth people can only be transmitted through sound and melody. music is his language and his tool. this is the landing. deep garage with a minimal spin and a broken beat format. a story in sounds. best served on the rocks. shouts to the bristol crew. banoffee x

after last year s track garrol on the paerels compilation for island trips. tammo hesselink aka melatonin man is back with cruise control love. the title track is a ravey disco jam. based around an acidic bass-line. that soundtracked many of our afterhours already. the b-side sees the release of 2 newer cuts - breaky beats and trancy melodies of this young talent with much more to come.

rsd 2018 release of 1000 copies. pressed on 180 gram heavyweight vinyl. housed in numbered sleeves. the now legendary abbey road version of “the isness” was the originally conceived version before last minute wholesale changes resulted in new tracks. different mixes and/or edits appearing in a wholly different order for the commercial release of “the isness” in 2002. the abbey road version had been initially promo’d to ecstatic reviews. receiving an unprecedented 6/5 stars from mixmag “it’s like a beam of white light from heaven”.

“yuxtaposición” is a recently unearthed treasure recorded by a tight italian trio in miami during the early seventies. until now. this music has only been heard in office backgrounds. tv commercials and movie soundtracks. but the perseverance of an admirer brought about its first-ever release on the italian schema label. imagine hearing a 1972-era cal tjader quartet without cal tjader and you get an idea of what to expect. it’s slightly latin. lightly funky and truly enjoyable. “yuxtaposición” offers enough to interest a jazz listener. but the sounds heard in these 35 minutes are really better appreciated as mood music. lead man. cabildo. composer of all ten tunes here. has a knack for writing jazzy little hooks that launch his tasty. well-crafted keyboard solos. often alternating fender rhodes and piano within the same song. his playing maintains a hypnotic command that recalls bob james’ cti style. electric bassist bobby fares and percussionist max ronnie make subtle. supportive contributions that serve only to enhance cabildo’s sound. there’s a funny thing about yuxtaposición too. it’s kind of like developing an addiction. you may not pay much attention to it at first. but before you know it. you’re hooked. you need to hear it to be satisfied. a very nice surprise.

steve reich’s new album “pulse / quartet”. released on cd and digitally in february. is now available on vinyl as well (with download code included). pulse is performed by international contemporary ensemble (ice). and quartet by colin currie group.

sacred summits returns after a two-year hiatus with an album of interpretations of the music of eric satie by acclaimed composer morgan fisher. active for over 50 years morgans career has moved from 60s number one hit wonders love affair. to 70s rocknroll keyboardist in mott the hoople. before finally on to 80s ambient. improvisation and soundtracks. working with the likes of yoko ono. haroumi hosono and dip in the pool. based in japan since the mid-80s. fishers long-standing admiration for erik satie (1866- 1925) led to these inside satie recordings. satie’s unique work as a precursor to artistic movements such as minimalism. surrealism and repetitive music are acknowledged but for long periods he was not given the accolades his music warranted. a strange. eccentric. surreal man. he was never as acclaimed as the established masters. but influenced not only the likes of debussy but also many of the dada artists. on this album morgan played his music freely after just a brief look at the scores. recorded in just three days. it features piano. melodica. synthesisers. and morgans favoured tape delay system. inside satie is one of the first albums i recorded in japan shortly after moving here in 1985. in three days i improvised on several of my favourite satie themes. mostly i played piano as well as the rich. analog-sounding yamaha gs-1 (precursor of the dx-7). and sometimes used long tape delays to build layers of sound. all the pieces were recorded in single takes no overdubs (no time!).

having recently signed to brownswood recordings. announced via new track ‘i’ll be on your mind’. skinny pelembe’s first single proper for the london imprint. ‘spit / swallow’ spans pastoral pop. psychedelic textures and hip-hop-tipped. chopped and spliced guitar. interlacings samples with rolling drum breaks and echoed falsettos. b-side ‘toy shooter’ follows in similar fashion. bridging psych-rock exaltation with beat-head. synth-jamming production.

over the past few years orchestral instrumental music from outside the classical establishment has become huge. and neil leiter and margaret hermant of the belgian echo collective have witnessed the evolution and extraordinary rise of this movement right up close. they ve worked with some of the most important players. including stars of the lid. dustin o’halloran and adam wiltze’s a winged victory for the sullen and o’halloran’s solo projects. as well as jóhann jóhannsson. and though the echo collective members themselves very much do come from within the classical music establishment. they don t care which side of the fence they are seen to be on.

tartelet records is 10. to celebrate a decade in the cut. they re out a home run of new material from label mainstays & fresh signings in 2018. to kick things off. the label is enormously proud to set free endless light –– a new record from oakland newcomer space ghost.
coming on like a brainchild to dam funk & mutant beat dance. ghost s sound falls off the shelf between a number of distinct reference points: lone s early tropical synaesthetics. the modern funk of funkosphere. the intimate tapes out of ppu. in a sea of soundcloud copycats. he s a revelation.
endless light is a record with an open hand: an instantly appealing sound from a new producer with a highly-tuned ear. born of his collection of antique synths & drum machines. the space ghost experience channels a deep heritage of 1980s funk minimalism & analogue boogie. velvet pads. hood-rat sleaze & heaped spoonfuls of soul.

vision songs vol. 1 (1984) is the laraaji album like no other. located at the intersection of new age and gospel. it is both his outlier and magnum opus. the feel-good diy tape of the century. discovered busking in washington square park by brian eno in the late 70s. engagement with the eternal flow has led laraaji to. seemingly by magic. emerge as the most beloved avatar of the unstoppable new age music revival of recent years. now vision songs rewrites laraaji’s musical history. unlike the many instrumental. free form albums upon which his reputation was built. this is an album of songs. with lyrics. verses. choruses. vision songs is literally a revelation -- of a master songwriter whose unbelievably catchy best compositions such as “we shall be lifted”. “all of a sudden”. and “is this clear?” belong in any great american songbook. casio synth jams recorded at spiritual retreat guest rooms and a tiny bedroom on the upper west side. lysergicallyspectacular anthems for a continually arriving new moment. “channeled.” as laraaji states in the album’s eloquent liner notes. “from the sky.” previously available in an edition of 100 cassettes sold at yoga retreats and on the streets of new york city. vision songs is humbly offered on vinyl. cd. and streaming for the very first time. this is where this is going on. this is where this is taking place. this is how this is going on. is this very clear?

16 classic tracks that include guest appearances by david byrne. perry farrell and the flaming lips. a kaleidoscopic swirl of psychedelia. dub. indian. rock. brazilian. easy-listening and other worldly influences.

les adventures de president bongo is a unique work that will reveal itself over the next seven years. give or take. in the form of 24 lp s. what is a groove? it is something that goes on and on. not changing much seemingly. like the growth rings exposed when you cut and fell a tree. it is no coincidence that tree rings resemble the spiral track of a record: they re both grooves of a sort.

a groove is a routine. a life lived. it may not always seem like much – a cup of bitter coffee. another day spent under the flickering fluorescent lights of an office. an overly long queue at the check-out of a suffocating supermarket. but it is also the scent of slightly burnt meat and birch by a gently flowing stream under a pink sunset. a silver fog clearing without notice to expose a starry sky and its familiar twinkling constellations. an impenetrable smile on a crowded morning train. it is the pattern exposed on the tree stump. a proper groove has ups and downs. it has drama. a good groove is a good story. a transmission into the future.

this is a collaboration between producer nostalgia 77. synth wizard matthew bourne and maverick drummer tim giles. drum machines and acoustic drums. synths. filters and echos. an irreverent homage to the radiophonic workshops. pierre henri & their kin.

garden city movement bestehend aus roy avital. yoav saar und johnny sharoni haben eine reihe von sounds aufgenommen. die alle spiegel ihrer diversen kulturellen welten darstellen. ausgehend von art-pop über experimental house bis hin zu sich abwechselnden angeordneten vibes. seit ihrer gründung 2013 hat das trio zwei eps sowie eine 12inch (in kollaboration mit the vinyl factory) heraus gebracht. mit move on 2014 den mtv best music video award in israel gewonnen (zudem als best music video beim l.a. film festival nominiert) sowie diverse chart-hits in ihrem heimatland landen können. dazu gesellen sich viele touren weltweit. u.a. mit bonobo. caribou und alt-j. ihr video zu shes so untouchable- wurde im september 2017 beim raindance film festival in london gezeigt. die 18(!) tracks auf apollonia schlagen einen düsteren lyrischen ton an. manch süß-saurer ton trägt die bittere botschaft eines sich schleichend abzeichnenden endes einer beziehung und die darauf folgende depression. einsamkeit sowie missbrauch. diese melancholische fusion kennzeichnet das sehr emotionale album als moderne soul musik und erdet es in der realen welt.

privately pressed to lp in 1978 under the name j. jasmine and made especially for the ann arbor film festival. with artistic collaboration from the festival’s founder and once group artist. george manupelli. my new music is the debut album by jacqueline humbert and david rosenboom. featuring a cast of mills college personalities like david behrman and sam ashley on backup vocal duties. this song cycle is at every turn boundary-pushing and gender-busting. yet still hilarious. sweet. and genuine. all delivered in a post-genre. art-song. cabaret musical style that happens to boast some serious avant-garde chops. courtesy of rosenboom. if it weren’t so spot on. you’d swear it was a guilty pleasure. as j. jasmine writes. my new music is a collection of personal stories and private desires. exposed. articulated. performed and dedicated to the hope that one person’s fantasies can contribute to another person’s freedom. get lost in j. jasmine’s world for a little long while. and be free.

jaki liebezeit. der masterdrummer. hatte seine freude an der tatsache. dass der trommelbau seit menschengedenken sich nicht wesentlich verändert hat. ob ein fell jetzt mit schnüren oder mit schrauben auf dem kessel gespannt wird. ob es ein natur- oder plastikfell ist - das prinzip bleibt dasselbe: beide umschließen einen hohlraum. ohne den es keinen klang gäbe (man stelle sich eine trommel vor. die innen drin mit lehm gefüllt wäre.) so ähnlich ist auch die rhythmus-auffassung. das Überflüssige fällt weg. dir leere mitte erscheint. das unsichtbare ist das entscheidende. alle stücke auf der zweiten ep von drums off chaos kreisen um diese leere mitte. im zentrum ist - nichts. hier geht es um abstrakte. groovende trommel-musik. die rhythmen sind so weit auf ihren elementaren kern reduziert. dass sie zwar eindeutig singulär. aber auch allgemeingütig verstanden werden können. es kommt etwas zum vorschein. das allgemeinen gesetzen wie gravitation. ergonomik und akustik folgt. „spiel. was die trommel will.“ war einer von jakis sätzen. das hat drums off chaos sich mit ihm zusammen zu herzen genommen. im zentrum stehen rhythmen. die auf einfachen zahlenverhälnissen gründen. um ihren reichtum aus sich selbst heraus zu entfalten.

the grand. sweeping sonic explorations of “pretoria”. from john matthias and jay auborn’s 2017 album “race to zero”. are given new life on this four-track remix ep.
moon gangs (better known as william young. keyboardist in bristol-based electronic outfit beak>) takes the reins first. delivering a thunderous take on the original’s faster-paced second half. typically of the artist. the track builds and builds in intensity. climaxing with an apocalypse of emotional. layered synths.
bristol’s cuts strips back the elements for a much darker reworking. a single. repeating piano note echoes into wide. open space alongside the original’s antique violins before clattering percussion and synths enter the mix for the most foreboding turn of the release.
closing the ep. former mogwai member john cummings also bases his reinterpretation around the original’s piano. but where cuts leans on moody darkness. cummings take is more upbeat. courtesy of a driving four to the floor kick and fidgety. high-pitched piano.

almost a millennium ago. the italian poet. dante alighieri offered the indelible axiom: “heat cannot be separated from fire. or beauty from the eternal.” in the centuries since. almost every strain of logic has been upended. save for the inextricable connection tethering beauty and timelessness. anenon’s tongue is a beautiful album. that’s an adjective whose meaning has practically been obliterated by hallmark prose and hyperbolic idiocy. but occasionally. a work of art digs deep enough to excavate the underlying meaning that existed in antiquity and figures to persist until we’re soil and dust. this is beauty materialized through the abstract articulation of love. loss. fear. addiction. confidence. longing. hope. and sadness. at its best. the infinite array of human emotions swirled and distilled into sound. sound becomes melody. harmony. and rhythm. the medium happens to be music. but it could really be anything. pure expression. tools mean nothing more and nothing less than palette and color.

lp maxime daoud. a much sought after musician accompanying forever pavot and his brother adrien soleiman. has released under the alias ojard a first album of soft and delicate instrumental vignettes. if euphonie calls for cinematographic comparisons (vladimir cosma. basil kirchin). the minimalism of the arrangements. the simplicity of the melodies conjure up to erik saties furniture music and brian enos thinking music.

soul food taqueria continued tommy guerrero’s blissful guitar soul but represented a step forward with its polished production and greater complexity of instrumentation. denied the promotion it deserved upon release. it flew under the radar. it is now the most wanted record of guerrero’s wondrous back catalogue. this fresh limited edition has been remastered. cut on to heavyweight double vinyl and is presented in a deluxe gatefold jacket.

martin kohlstedt wollte erst erfinder werden. dann astronaut. später physiker. entwickelte interaktive märchen. science-fiction hörbücher und pflanzenroboter. nun ist er musiker und hat ein solo piano album aufgenommen. tag ist ein rückzugsort. ist sehnsucht. ist ein vorausmusizieren des nächsten schrittes. ist filmhaftes schaupspiel und drang nach definition und erklärung. nach unterricht in interaktivem klavier. filmmusiken. verbindungen in projekte des erfurter zughafens und expeditionen in elektronische musik mit dem kollektiv marbert rocel ist tag die erste solo veröffentlichung von martin kohlstedt. ein intimer einblick in die nächte. das verarbeiten des musikers. reduziert auf klavier entstehen hinerzählte landschaften und skizzenhaft gemalte kompositionen. der extrem minimale ansatz. die schönheit in den detailverliebt arrangierten figuren. die karge mathematische ausformung einzelner sequencen werden zum sog. tag ist zeitraffer und super slow motion zu gleichen teilen.

ziemlich genau ein jahr ist nun seit der veröffentlichung seines letzten albums nacht vergangen. seitdem hat martin kohlstedts mut. den dialog zu suchen. anscheinend überzeugt. denn das resultat sind acht sehr unterschiedliche stücke von künstlern aus deutschland. island. großbritannien und den usa. manche wirken wie ein feinfühliger kommentar zum original. andere sind komplett verschiedene perspektiven auf das ausgangsmaterial. und einige sind zum anlass für gemeinsame projekte geworden. in denen man sich auf augenhöhe etwas vollkommen neuem widmet -allesamt der idee folgend. dass kohlstedts musik nicht fest geschrieben ist. sondern fortwährend in verhandlung.

martin kohlstedts zweites album nacht (2014) bezieht sich direkt auf den vorgänger und ist dennoch die verkehrung seiner perspektive nach innen. hat der komponist in tag (2012) noch verspielt fragen gestellt. folgen jetzt in aller konsequenz neun monologe. diese reduzierten stücke sprechen mit einer unterdrückten ruhelosigkeit. distanzieren sich aber vermehrt vom leichtfertigen. in ihnen arbeitet kohlstedt hart an sich selbst. repetition und rhythmische verwandlungen entwickeln eine nach innen gerichtete dynamik. aus dem entstehenden sog befreit sich die -nacht- immer wieder neu. selbst in ihren schwerfälligsten momenten. und unterbewusst möchte man daran glauben. sich festhalten an diesem gerüst. noch während es anschlag für anschlag konstruiert wird. ein ankommen ist für martin kohlstedt aber noch utopie. die nacht erzählt vom suchen nach einem passenden ort dafür. sie ist deswegen nicht immer leicht zugänglich vertraut sich aber ihren hörern bedingungslos an. persönlicher können moderne kompositionen nicht werden.

instrumentalkompositionen. mit dem in den siebzigerjahren beginnenden siegeszug elektronischer tanzmusik hat sich der remix als produktionsmethode fest im musikbusiness etabliert. dabei ist die kunstform. bereits vorhandenes material neu und vor allem ganz persönlich zu interpretieren. ein phänomen. das es erstens schon vorher und zweitens in der klassischen musik gab. der new yorker pianist bruce brubaker ist ein künstler. der seine gesamte karriere diesem konzept gewidmet hat. er wurde dafür bekannt. stücke anderer künstler nicht nur nachzuspielen. sondern in deren kompositionen seine persönlichkeit originär einzuschreiben. so dass sie eine neue. einzigartige form annehmen. zu seinen besonderen stärken zählt die interpretation der musik von philip glass. auf seinem album -codex- geht brubaker einen schritt weiter. indem er gleich zwei originale auf künstlerisch editierende weise miteinander in dialog bringt. zum einen werke aus der -codex faenza-. einer erst in den 1930ern wiederentdeckten sammlung mit instrumentalmusik für orgel. klavier und harfe aus dem frühen 15. jahrhundert. zum anderen stücke aus terry rileys 1964 veröffentlichter zusammenstellung -keyboard study no. 2-.

having been an electronic activist in marseille for more two decades and more. dj oil is now a firm staple of lddlm. following the rain ep released in the summer 2016. here is the first 2018 outing from us: the already bubbling heritage ep. heritage has been an ivan smagghe (and a few others) secret weapon for more than a year now. a strange sampladelic track featuring a full marcus garvey speech. a subtle yet powerful appropriation of early house cliches. the hit has one feet in tradition. one feet in political modernity. the ep comes with two more warped cuts: the slow guitar swamp of brouillage and the system 01/mckenna influenced may be. psychedelics and sun. a second 12inch by dj oil will follow shortly. doubled with a full digital release of the two eps with digital extras. expect new releases from our camp by rheinzand. init. johnson and more

apollo presents a sublime mini album from melbourne duo albrecht labrooy aka sean la brooy and alex albrecht which will appeal to fans of suzanne kraft. tornado wallace and dawn of midi. the release is inspired by a visit to the beautiful wilson s promontory. a remote national park on the south east coast of australia. the tracklisting runs from morning through to nightime and tries to capture the feeling of each snapshot in time. their music is a delicate fusion of ambient electronic textures. live instrumentation and field recordings gauzy guitar melodies. dreamy synth arpeggios and throbbing rthymic pulses that feels equally at home in outdoor amphitheatres as well as dark nightclubs alternating between their cosmic/balearic deep house and more laid back introspections. tidal rivers gorgeously lush sounds are remarkably consistent rich. warm and organic with an emphasis on atmosphere and the transportation of the listener. each track was the fruit of albrecht labrooys long improvised jamming process heavily involved in their local scene. the duo co-run the analogue attic imprint. championing this gentler side of electronic music in australia which has proven a fertile incubator for their own development. across a series of ambitious and ear catching eps. alongside local cohorts such as sleep d. rings around saturn and udmo. this involvement also extends to including local players on their recording sessions as well as their cosmic live shows. the tidal river album includes a quartet of jazz musicians including label-mate matthew hayes on bass guitar. guitarist oliver paterson. spanish cajon courtesy of joseph batrouney and night time saxophone debut by josh kelly.

art pop meets mongolian throat singing. blade runner meets walter carlos (clockwork orange). tom dissevelt and kid baltan (bowie’s favourite band) meet tame impala. the fifth album from marsmobil has been hailed by many as their best yet. with closer ties to “minx” (2006) than the last two albums. “fairytales of the supersurvivor” returns to marsmobil’s signature strength of wondrously brilliant songs (“and the fishes in the ocean”. “shadows of the inner light”) that blend off-the-wall cinemascope sounds with dazzling beats and punchy. powerful hooks to create uniquely distinctive art pop anthems. as always with marsmobil. roberto di gioia writes. plays. sings and programs everything himself. here. as on “minx”. he’s brought in support from a fabulous singer – the very wonderful amber lin. who contributes vocals on four songs. all the cover illustrations are also by di gioia.

re-issued again. with new liner notes. a wonderful. rare record wrapped in a mysterious yet playful ambiance. or maybe it s just the impression that the japanese language often gives me. suiren is an odd jazz-fusion-wave tune that sounds like its boiling. waiting to burst but somehow manages to stay in control. like the nervous tick of a leg fidgeting under the table of a restaurant on a first date. yasuaki shimizu is a japanese composer. producer and saxophone player born in 1954. he worked with ryuchi sakimoto on certain arrangements. with the south korean artist nam june paik on art+sound installation pieces and even dj towa tei (of deee-lite fame). suiren was released in 1981 and is the opening title on the sought-after kakashi album and is my personal favorite on this overall brilliant record. it weaves behind new wave. jazz. fusion. ambient and experimental music.

pierre bastien is a french legend that has collaborated with artists such as robert wyatt. jac berrocal and jaki liebezeit. to name just a few. he is also very well known for his compositions based on home-made mechanical instruments. designed and constructed by bastien himself. pure diy. using these instruments he would create a heady experimental mix incorporating poetry and some far-out music. all in all very intriguing and original indeed. needless to say when the notion of pierre bastien and versatile records potentially making a project together arose. it was a total honour! throw into the mix esteemed electro-acoustic composer eddie ladoire and now we ve really got something interesting. eddie and pierre met when they appeared on the same concert bill together and they decided to collaborate further with versatile being the platform for the fruits of this particular project. the original version of phantom dance is a beautiful piece where bastien plays a trumpet into some water blended with electronic drums and mellow organs lines. creating an otherworldly. subterranean jazz vibe for the freaks. suzanne kraft. the la native / amsterdam based producer turns the original into some mechanical broken funk vibes while rotterdam s oceanic delivers 2 fresh. reimagined versions. one for for the club with a strong afro beat feel while the other one is a slower affair for the after hours. both mixes bringing something new to the table. a truly original and interesting release from some very talented people. for those with open ears and open minds!

im fluss der neun stücke löst sich der komponist auf und macht musik in ihrer ureigensten dynamik erfahrbar. man wird zeuge davon. wie sich nähe und intimität zu weite und gewalt wandeln. sowie schönheit in alledem zu finden ist - vor allem aber im vergehen. konsequent entwickelt -strom- dabei verschiedenste formwelten. erscheint neblig gefährlich. dann wieder ganz direkt. fast verspielt. bis hin zum erstarren vor der eigenen größe. dabei wurden für -strom- keine pointen erdacht und keinerlei maß genommen. stattdessen wirkt es so. als ob martin kohlstedt es geschafft hätte. der intuition ein monument zu bauen. dabei sind unabänderliche denkmäler gar nicht kohlstedts spezialität. ganz im gegenteil. bekannt geworden ist der thüringer vor allem für die energie und unberechenbarkeit seiner konzerte. nach zwei solo-piano alben legte er schablonen für das instrument ab und entwickelte seine eigene selbstverständlichkeit. elektronik und effekte so zu spielen. als seien sie nur weitere tasten auf der schwarzweißen klaviatur. -strom- ist martin kohlstedts drittes studioalbum und ebenso ein destillat dieser entwicklung wie auch ein blick in die zukunft: bevor der komponist auf sein publikum trifft. prallt er in diesem ersten aller räume mit sich selbst zusammen. inszenierung ist hier fehl am platz. sound und struktur treten hinter den wunsch. mit der musik andere orte zu erreichen. man hört dem nach - seinen händen - die all die arbeit verrichten. feinfühlig und größenwahnsinnig zugleich. und bleibt doch ganz bei sich. wie auf seinen konzerten. mehr braucht man über martin kohlstedt nicht zu wissen.
