10th release on fasrat is the debut record of mr yo so hailing from the west pomerania region of poland (same as his label mate das komplex), rafal reich is an experienced musician. from playing piano in modern jazz groups to woodwinds in a brass band and synths in his home studio, his music displays rare sensibility and an ear for lovely melodies. delicious brings together six tracks recorded during last few years, from dreamy new age-ish soundtracks to proper balearic sunrise/sunset anthems, with obvious echoes of 70s lords of synth. cheesy, yes, but its this kind of rich, mature, delicious cheese we all like, dont we?

sounding quite like nothing you have heard before, the excelsiors come correct with their debut album, control this. the latest project from shane ‘sureshot’ hunt, known for his sharpshooters group, and for his highly-regarded soundbwoy reggae breaks series wherein he has liberally dropped science, sharing his in-depth knowledge of ska, rock-steady, reggae and dancehall for the instruction of the hip-hop massive, the excelsiors is the logical extension of shanes passion for classic jamaican music (and more) of the 60s through 80s.

auf -ennanga vision- begleiten wir den londoner produzenten jesse hacke (owiny sigoma band, elmore judd, gorillaz) auf einer klangreise, die uns von der englischen kapitale nach uganda führt, und damit von der hauptstadt des pop mitten ins herz von afrika. co-steuermann und erster kollaborateur von hacke ist der ugandische sänger und multiinstrumentalist albert ssempeke. bei ihrer eigenwilligen, um nicht zu sagen abenteuerlichen unternehmung erhalten die beiden beistand durch eine reihe von gastsängern aus dem norden ugandas, die unter der dortigen bevölkerung einen legendären ruf genießen. damit setzt sich die formation aus einer runde von experten zusammen, welche die dj-ikone gilles -acid jazz- peterson zu den worten -one of the finest musicians, thinkers and world selectors in the uk- hinriss. sie sorgen für einen hypnotischen sound, der traditionelle ugandische folk-musik mit aktuellem pop der westlichen hemisphäre zu einem organischen ganzen verschmilzt. dabei findet die einsaitige, für afrika so typische geige genauso ihren platz wie eine 200 jahre alte mundharmonika. für das infektiöse klangbild bestimmend sind jedoch in erster linie elektronische instrumente aller art sowie parallel gespielte xylophone.

es gibt den frühen acid house-holmes. sein letztes soloalbum the holy pictures (2008) atmete la düsseldorf, the jesus & mary chain und brian eno. er produzierte primal scream und jon spencer blues explosion. und er schrieb (und schreibt) unzählige hollywood-soundtracks, allen voran für steven soderberghs oceans trilogie (mit george clooney, matt damon, brad pitt). nun legt david holmes seine late night tales version vor, bestehend aus vielen, kleinen kopfkinofilmchen, in denen wir auf david crosby, buddy holly und die children of sunshine treffen. dazu gibt es reichlich exklusives holmes-eigenmaterial, kollabos mit bp fallon und jon hopkins, sowie das von ihm produzierte 10cc cover i m not in love von song sung. insgesamt sind es 9 exclusives, wozu auch die spoken word-perfomance von stephen rea zählt, der aus seamus heaneys aeneid book vi elsewhere anchises vorliest.

»…but seriously« ist nicht nur das zweiterfolgreichste album von phil collins, sondern zudem das zweiterfolgreichste album in deutschland seit beginn der offiziellen auszeichnungen vor rund 40 jahren. es eroberte die internationalen charts, verkaufte sich über drei millionen mal und wurde sechsfach mit platin ausgezeichnet. 2016 ließ collins »…but seriously« neu auflegen, und zwar in remasterter und erweiterter version, gepresst auf 180 gramm doppel-vinyl.

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.
