now its time for gallaghers first two albums to get fully remastered and pressed on audiophile 180-grams vinyl. rory gallagher released his eponymous solo debut album in 1971. this album marked the departure from taste, the first band which gallagher founded, and the start of his solo career. gallagher wrote all the songs himself and recorded the album with two befriended belfast musicians.
>deuce< is gallaghers second solo album and was originally released in 1971 as well. in contrast with his previous well-produced album, >deuce< was an effort by to capture the energy of a live performance. in order to do so gallagher would often record immediately before or after live performances while keeping production at a minimum.

nice price deal !!! the record opens with “origins”, and we hit the ground running with an obese bass-line dipping through a sparse rhythm .this is a deeply touching jack-attack, infused with stripped-down, cold-wave hysterics and touched by that very distinct meschi charm. science-fiction synth-lines smash through a rugged beat, wailing at you with such force that you can’t help but take notice.

the young record label foul & sunk from zurich and freiburg im breisgau leaves the winter behind with > still in love<, an ep from the producer-duo paskal & urban absolutes. alexander kastner and adrian hoffmann, the heads behind it, have both opened their hearts and fell in love: they fell in love with steady house grooves, based on a powerful bass foundation, in love with warm tones that convey sensuality, as well as sensitive vocal loops and fragile percussion.

the second edition of the mosso series adheres to its archetypal plan, as alejandro mosso leads us forwards on his musical trek and through the grooves carved onto this record. for this new number, alejandro mosso decided to delve back into his archives and take a closer listen to some forgotten, unfinished pieces. some listeners will surely recognise certain bits of this record as they were part of mossos live performance years ago. this is however the first time they will be edited and see the light of day. on the a-side, aconcagua is a festive theme on which a magnetic marimba riff turns into an escalating melody, surrounded by a forest of ascending percussions - characteristic of mossos production – lightly floating around it. cashmere, the flip, was conceived while airborne on a flying carpet, half way above the indian subcontinent and below the countles gleaming stars. perfect instance of alejandro mossos talent, it is a subtle blend of hovering winds and crystallized textures. the bansuri flute and the clave go hand in hand to form reassuring horizons, the soundtrack for a longer moment of hope, greater perspective and spiritual transformation.

after his sublime remix for hitsafes >let the acid out< on shaddocks first release, tin man makes a deadly return to shaddock records, delivering his most dancefloor oriented record to date. opening track >t_dd_t_rr_y< sees kicking beats with a genealogy harking back to finest chicago house, yet done with contagious feather-light energy of uk funky and a naughty bassline gliding perfectly between cheeky rave chords and their moody older brother. >s_mple_house< continues with this blindingly effective simplicity, dreamily muted chord stabs, rolling congas in ecstatic space over a warm round bass. on the flip on >aut_repeat<, crystalline synth shards coalesce in complex forms and continue in icey determination as the beat sneaks up underneath, propelling into an absolutely blistering workout. >djsn_k< rounds up on a perky high, an ebullient synthline with crunch and a punchy beat so frontal it might make you blush. rave bones akimbo – tin man steals the pure dance!

jean wells story is not an extraordinary one in the world of soul, although her voice certainly was. her biggest hit >have a little mercy< from 1967 was a glorious slice of deep soul, a plea to a lover, whom she is addicted to, but who doesn t seem to notice. her gospel-trained voice perfectly encapsulating those feelings, whilst a stark arrangement dominated by an ethereal organ and dramatic horn stabs heightens the unbearable effect this man is having on jeans life. yet at the time this record only reached number 25 in the r&b charts, just another bit of genius amongst many, thrown out by the black american music industry at one of its most creative and profligate periods.
jean left us with a fantastic recorded legacy, of which her recordings for clyde otis, which are gathered here, are the choicest cuts.

this one is with morgan phalen, from a band called diamond nights that we love but went unnoticed 6/7 years ago. he lives in los angeles and we had him come over to paris to record. we wrote the lyrics with him and tried, as always, not to sound too stupid, avoiding clichés like come to the dancefoor, but without pretending to be bob dylan either. our lyrics are always a bit quirky. if they sound good and theres a little edge or something fun to them, were happy.
