mit neneh cherry hŠtte wohl kaum noch jemand gerechnet. erst recht nicht damit, dass die stimme von 7 seconds an der seite eines free-jazz-trios suicide covert. zwischen neneh cherry und the thing hat es offenbar gefunkt. vor zwei jahren trafen die prominente sŠngerin und das radikale free-jazz-trio erstmals zusammen, nun haben sie gemeinsam ein album eingespielt. angesichts der hits von neneh cherry, die sich zwischen hiphop, soul und ethno bewegten, mutet ihr comeback-projekt abwegig an. betrachtet man jedoch die familiŠren hintergrŸnde, liegt die kollaboration eigentlich auf der hand: neneh cherry ist die tochter des jazzmusikers don cherry, der the thing mit einem seiner stŸcke zu ihrem namen inspiriert hat. der renommierte schwedische saxophonist mats gustafsson und das norwegische rhythmus-duo ingebrigt hŒker flaten und paal nilssen-love transzendieren das spektrum herkšmmlicher jazz-trios. neben einem cover von don cherry finden sich darauf songs von the stooges, mf doom, martina topley-bird und ornette coleman. wenn nicht alles tŠuscht, steht mit diesem album die †berraschung des jahres ins haus.(78sfm)

the album third encounter showcases the 20 past years of klas lindblad as a musician, dj and sound engineer, one whos seen most of the modern musical styles evolve and dissolve. always relying on the basic principles of electronic dance music that less is more, lindblad brings another fine full-lengt artist album out, surely to be considered his finest work til today.

the debut album of these two young lads with baseball hats not only honours and delves into a sound that already peaked some fifteen years ago, it also hones and elevates it, without ever falling into the reynoldsmania trap (please see retromania for further reference) or being old gold retold. and this is all oh-so-clear from the very start: the fine flutes of >when its there< go straight to your heart and they do so without any self-mockery or hipster smiles as much as the gasping 303-sounds, chirping birds and healing dx-like bass sounds a few tracks later do. >salty days< - an allusion not to grim times, but to a certain members adoration for the crystalline mineral - is blessed with a coherence that isnt samey, with tradition that isnt leaden and a feeling that is pure.

culcha candela beeindrucken musikalisch insbesondere dann, wenn sie ganz in ihrem element sind, so wie mit ihrer neuen single -wildes ding-: ein party-kracher mit augenzwinkern, eine hymne an die (starken) frauen, ein unnachahmlicher groove, eine moerder-hook. man merkt dem berliner sextett den spa§ und die lockerheit an, mit dem sie solche hits aus dem aermel schuetteln. diese faehigkeit hat sie zu einer der erfolgreichsten bands deutschlands werden lassen - und macht -wildes ding- zu einem absoluten hitgaranten der marke candela. entertainment pur, wie es nur eine band kann, die sich auf den gro§en festivalbuehnen, vor der kamera und dem studiomikrofon gleicherma§en wohl fuehlt. mit ihrem neuen album flaetrate gelingt ihnen dabei die quadratur des kreises: sich selber treu zu bleiben und dennoch frisch und kompromisslos nach vorne zu gehen. unverzichtbarer bestandteil dabei sind dabei die ladies-tunes, eine disziplin, in der ihnen in deutschland niemand das wasser reichen kann. ob culcha candela denn diesmal ihr -wildes ding- finden?

mit der gleichnamigen single -soy como soy-, die im sommer bereits auf dj hells label gigolo erschien, landeten makossa + megablast bereits einen weltweit gefeierten club hit. die beiden wiener veroeffentlichten bisher alben auf stereo deluxe und g-stone, diverse remixe und singles auf great stuff und man recordings. auf dem album sind gaeste wie tony allen, hubert tubbs, cleydys villalon, og spiritual godess und sugar b vertreten! makossa & megablast verbinden spannungsgeladene analoge sounds, markante drums und percussions mit dynamischen basslines und schlie§en den kreis zwischen den urspruenglichen, primitiven rhythmen der talking drums und der aktuellen musikgeschichte mit den neuesten standards elektronischer musikproduktion. schoen, dass die jungs wieder da sind! fuer ihr 2007 auf g-stone recordings veroeffentlichtes debut -kunuaka- erntete das duo fuer seine praezisen und ausgetueftelten produktionen wohlverdiente credits von musikalischen wegbereitern wie gilles peterson, carl craig und laurent garnier. nach ausgedehnten reisen rund um die welt, wo sie vor bis zu 30.000 begeisterten party people aufgetreten sind, tun sich die beiden mit den besten und kreativsten musikern und saengern fuer dieses album zusammen.

das zweite album der schweizer produzentin kate wax - nach ihrem 2006er debuet -reflections of a dark heat- auf mental groove - wurde von james holden co-produziert und erscheint auf dessen label border community. kate bietet auf -dust collision- eine unkonventionelle, vocal-gelockerte, darke version von post-electro-pop, unterlegt von einer minimalen synth-aesthetik.

2011 album from the anticon founder and instrumental rap innovator. fever dream is alias s most inspired and dynamic record in years. spurred by the psychedelic sound and off-kilter groove of electronic experimentalists like flying lotus, modeselektor and bibio, he ditches quantized beats, embraces warmth and sets the whole thing wobbling to a warped dance pulse. incorporating generous amounts of chopped, pitch-bent r&b vocals, plus sprinklings of live instrumentation and loads of left turns, fever dream is a stylistic whirlwind of hallucinatory house, homespun big beat, swinging downtempo and melodic break music.

this collection documents the two-decades-plus recording career of r&b icon luther vandross. even before he started putting out records under his own name, he was a first-call session singer (hes the one who created and sang the chorus hook on david bowies -young americans,- for just one example). throughout the 80s and the 90s, he was (both commercially and aesthetically) one of the most consistently successful r&b singer/songwriter/producers. this healthy two-disc selection of highlights from the impressive vandross catalogue moves deftly from heartfelt ballads (-a house is not a home-) to percolating, poppy numbers (-never too much-), spotlighting the mans mellifluous voice and tasteful phrasing at each turn. this is quite clearly the definitive career summary for this deeply influential r&b titan.

-a very she & him christmas- ist die zauberhafte kollektion weihnachtsfestlicher melodien, die die ebenso bezaubernde zooey deschanel (she) zusammen mit m. ward (him) aufgenommen hat. das erste weihnachtsalbum, das auf domino je veroeffentlicht wurde, ist
