there is a memory of a forgotten past, or an unknown future. that momentary seed of thought of a time where the unearthly and the spiritual reigned supreme. an abundant force of the senses , linking to the deeper paths of consciousness. where our roots merged and linked with the universal network of thought. where magic and mystery where not seen as illusion, but a treasure of collective inspiration. captured in the now and the endless, the same and the opposite intertwined, the light and the dark. the thing with five eyes is jason kohnen’s phoenix rising from his previous disassembled ‘darkjazz’ projects the kilimanjaro darkjazz ensemble and the mount fuji doomjazz corporation. the continual journey into unknown musical territories. ‘noirabesque’ is that current day journey into those worlds that have been or are still to come. a boundless universe. on this adventure kohnen is accompanied by algerian / french singer leila bounous, who perfectly adds the oriental and mystical vocal timbre to the album. pressing on 180 gram double vinyl, housed in full coloured sleeve.

ndagga-musik, auch mbalax genannt, ist keine mode. diese treibende, dichtgeschichtete tanzmusik ist der soundtrack zum alltagsleben in senegal und gambia - keine rootsmusik, aber doch fest verwurzelt in der tradition der griots, der geschichteerzaehler und saenger westafrikas. sie basiert auf jahrhundertealten rhythmen, im zentrum stehen die sabar-trommeln und die tamas, die gambischen talking drums.
