repress with basic art! dreamy synth songs for island trips and dark club nights - nous klaer presents their first various artists compilation. 12 tracks spread over 3 vinyls, with all label regulars as well as new additions to the imprint.

nous klaer welcomes cosime, a collaborative project between longtime companions arif and job. their debut ep consists of three tracks, including an outstanding version of the a1. most of the record was recorded and arranged on several autumn days, home away from home, facing a freshwater lake. field recordings, made on a former island that is now a peninsula, provide the basis of the hilary ep. on the b side the recordings lay over solid drum programming, centred on the offbeat hat. on the a side fyr offers a more fluid take, resulting in a splendid play of samples and rhythms sewn together. the alternative take of fyr takes on an anything-goes approach, highly club appropriate though moving away from the rhythm backbone. excellent music for pedaloes.

chaka khan, born yvette marie stevens, is an american singer-songwriter whose career has spanned four decades, beginning in the 1970s as the frontwoman and focal point of the funk band rufus. often dubbed the queen of funk, khan has won ten grammys and has sold an estimated 70 million records worldwide.
*what cha gonna do for me* (1980) is arguably the best effort of the partnership with arif mardin. slowly but surely the two began to craft an even more successful and innovative sound. the album peaked at #3 in the r&b albums chart of 1981.
the cover of *we can work it out* gets a brash and funky stevie wonder –style arrangement, with gregory phillanganes doing great synth work. the best song here, *i know you, i live you*, displays brilliant bass and drum.
pressing on 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

limited edition vinyl reissue of the deeply balearic and impossible-to-find extended version of the magnificent tranquillo (melt my heart) from the one and only carly simon. produced by the acclaimed arif mardin, who also worked with such luminaries as aretha franklin, esther philips and donny hathway, this 1978 classic rides soulful disco-tinged waves of blissful strings, heady horns and cosmic guitars with a rich orchestral feel - no wonder this is a such a firm favourite on the balearic scene with djs in the know from harvey to phil mison. originally released on a promo-only 12 inch single with the same version on both sides, tranquillo is here backed by another essential sun-drenched gem from ms. simon - >you belong to me<. a jazzy, breezy summer groover laced with gentle piano, soothing vocals and some amazing saxophone from virtuoso david sanborn. welcome chance to grab an affordable copy of this highly desirable 12 inch.
