But unlike many who have had a similar epiphany in Berghain's dark halls, Daijing didn't suddenly dedicate herself to dance music. \"It's not so much 'music,' but 'sound,'\" she told RBMA last year. \"Sound has always been the thing I've been the most interested in.\" Or maybe \"noise\" is a better way of putting it, as her interests in industrial and experimental music have been a major part in the intense, sexually charged performances she's become known for. All of which is to say that Daijing has taken a roundabout path to making techno, which gives her second release an interesting angle. A Satin Sight isn't light on rhythmic force, but the drums are sometimes utilized more for their sonic blasts than time keeping. \"What I like about techno is the energy,\" Daijing said in that same interview. \"Whether you're making it, playing it, listening to it or dancing to it, it's an energy exchange. – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.residentadvisor.net\/reviews\/20346\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eResident Advisor\u003c\/u\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"300\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/62e4pq3nPqd62G1iAFeTwt\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/label\/673972-Bedouin-Records\"\u003eBedouin Records\u003c\/a\u003e ‎– BDN 013\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/search\/?format_exact=Vinyl\"\u003eVinyl\u003c\/a\u003e, 12\", EP, Limited Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/search\/?country=United+Arab+Emirates\"\u003eUnited Arab Emirates\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/search\/?decade=2010\u0026amp;year=2017\"\u003e2017\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/genre\/electronic\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/style\/techno\"\u003eTechno\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/style\/industrial\" style=\"cursor: pointer;\"\u003eIndustrial\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/style\/ebm\" style=\"cursor: pointer;\"\u003eEBM\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bedouin Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456437199006,"sku":"516264","price":38.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/f211d8b2c1da96d7bcfa0debca99756436d6b834.jpg?v=1646290410"},{"product_id":"various-mainstream-funk","title":"Various – Mainstream Funk","description":"\u003cp\u003eWewantsounds continues its collaboration with Bob Shad's formidable label Mainstream Records, to present a selection of 12 turntable-friendly tracks recorded between 1971 and 1975 and showcasing the label's superb blend of Spiritual Jazz, Funk and Soul by the likes of Buddy Terry, Sarah Vaughan, LaMont Johnson and Johnny Coles.

Ottagono Design Of Music is back introducing from its Italian headquarter the Japanese crossover Hoodoo Fushimi‘s Oto (sound) Imprint. Fushimi Sensei from his private studio in Yokosuka (the city where he is born ) during 1979 -1993 used to work on many projects, producing different music albums, working as a painter and illustrator, working also for a few Japanese magazines as a music writer and English translator. Nowadays for many people, he is considered one of the Electro Disco Tech Funk Japanese pioneers\/ innovators. Tamaran released during 1989 was available only on CD format on Syntax ( ’89 was the boom of CD Japanese Market ) for the Japanese Local Market becoming a true hard to find during the years, finally thanks to Ottagono after 30 years it takes the first official vinyl release. The Japanese Fushimi sound trademark looks still beautiful, fresh, and powerful ( from the Japanese word utsukushii) with influences that remind early Afrika Bambata, Cybotron, Egyptian Lover, De La Soul. Tamaran is featured by the club Hit “ Kaette Ne ” where Fushimi joining with singer Harka made a love song where still today it seems a true manifesto to Chicago Warehouse, New York Paradise Garage, it is something like a true mix of early Joe Claussell Instant House\/Jungle Sounds, Chicago Trax Records with some reminiscence of Nami Shimada and Soichi Terada. We are sure that Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles would have liked to play at that time if only had a chance to have this pearl in their hands at that time. Claudio Mate from his musical vision after introducing Zen Oikawa Studio Ghibli director with the first Ottagono release remarks the Otaku Sound concept, where Artists, Producers, Musicians from the land of Rising Sun are responsible for Soundtracks for Anime, Video Games, Drama Live Action, Movies as at same time fathers also of a few pieces such as of Underground Music, indeed more recently Hoodoo Fushimi Ongaku (Music) got featuring over a few episodes of Giri\/ Haji the cult Netflix Uk\/ Japanese Drama series.

They seek to both honour and alter tradition: as \u003cem\u003eThe Epic\u003c\/em\u003e’s opening track announces, they are the “Changing of the Guard”.

On these recordings, Russell (who plays cello, guitar, keyboards, and percussion) is joined primarily by Mustafa Ahmed and Peter Zummo, and the three of them produce an abstract cross between pop and R\u0026amp;B, constructed with drum machines and more organic instrumentation on top. None of these songs woo a crowd of dancers as so many of Russell's short-lived aliases did before; instead, they're more rooted in song-based pop. This goes for the structure of the tracks, and it also goes for the subject matter of the lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the greatest joys of listening to these songs is the regular presence of Russell's gentle, somewhat timid voice, which delivers one heartwarming line after another.

This two-hour collection is yet another revelatory statement in the discography of man who cannot help but push boundaries. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Analog Vault\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cbr\u003eTheo Parrish is a musician and selector based in Detroit, Michigan, often described as a 'techno\/house' artist. He has recorded music under his own name as well as with Rick Wilhite, Marcellus Malik Pittman and Kenneth Dixon Jr as 3 Chairs. He also puts out releases on his record label, Sound Signature. Another aspect of Theo Parrish's productions are his re-edits, often of old disco, funk or soul records. He is almost as renowned for his expansive and genre-hopping live DJ sets as his productions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2014 Theo Parrish took his new live show on the road. It wasn't the first time he'd been involved with live performance—he was playing shows with his Rotating Assembly ten years back—but this was Parrish putting himself out there, front and centre, performing his own material on stage with a band. This was Theo Parrish the musician, not Theo Parrish the producer or Theo Parrish the DJ. The idea of musicianship, of creating everything from scratch, also drives American Intelligence, Parrish's first solo full-length since 2007. For someone whose back catalogue is littered with examples of clever sampling, Parrish has distanced himself from sampling as an art form, explaining to Slices this year that \"As I grew older, [I began] respecting what I was sampling and editing.\" So you won't find many nifty samples on American Intelligence—it's all Parrish's music, and the vocals come from Parrish himself, or Ideeyah, an important cog in his live show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmerican Intelligence \u003c\/em\u003eforms a kind of companion piece to the live show. It's presented in two versions: the triple-vinyl version, which clocks in at nine tracks, and the more unwieldy 15-track double-CD, which sags heavily as the second disc wears on. The tracks that Parrish performed live this year provide American Intelligence with its strongest moments. There's \"Footwork,\" an irresistible call to dance floor and one of 2014's best singles, \"Ah,\" with Ideeyah on vocals, is sweet and mostly drum-free, and \"Be In Yo Self,\" equals anything in Parrish's catalogue in terms of groove and depth. The drums skitter on \"Drive,\" on which Theo asks, \"Where's your drive? Has it died? It keeps me alive.\" It sounds like a question posed to people around him—lazy DJs, unadventurous live acts, a music press he feels is suffering. \"Life Spice's\" stuttering loop makes it sound like an Ugly Edit of \"Miss You\" by The Rolling Stones, while \"Welcome Back\" is a three-minute imagining of a trip to the grocery store interrupted by a traffic cop, played out by Parrish and backed by belligerent drums. — via Resident Advisor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0DoWNwSzBk0R0QzgaQIxcE?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Sound Signature\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 3x Vinyl, 12\", Album\u003cbr\u003eCountry: US\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2014\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003cbr\u003eStyle: House, Deep House\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: House \/ Electro \/ Techno\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sound Signature","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456464953502,"sku":"SS055\/56\/57","price":75.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/d7f5212ec09641fa9e518b3a6deaa60a4fbc15a7.jpg?v=1646290819"},{"product_id":"badbadnotgood-iii","title":"BadBadNotGood – III","description":"\u003cp\u003eBADBADNOTGOOD is a young supremely talented trio of musicians made up of Matthew Tavares on keys, Chester Hansen on bass, and Alex Sowinski on drums. Since their inception at Humber College’s Music Performance program in 2011, the three have challenged the rule book on improvised instrumental music and taken jazz tradition into the future. With early champions including acclaimed BBC broadcaster Gilles Peterson and Tyler The Creator who helped fuel their discovery with a series of live jams that instantly went viral and dubbed them the “Odd Trio”, the band released their first EP BBNG in June 2011 to wide praise. The marriage of jazz virtuosity and hip hop source material offered a fresh take on the traditional “standard” applied to hip hop classics by taking on choice cuts from the golden era rap cannon and writing inspired arrangements for them instead of one-dimensional covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band hit a landmark by introducing original material into their composi- tions with BBNG2 in 2012. New songs like “Rotten Decay”, “Vices” or “UWM” carried on the proud heritage of musical juxtaposition by bringing together jazz, hip hop, punk, and dance music into vigorous balance. Since then, they’ve won praise from the four corners of the globe and collaborated with Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt, MF Doom, Pharaoh Monch and RZA among many.

To be exact, it goes back more than three decades to the London of the 1980’s when Gilles stood at the beginning of an exceptional career as DJ, Radio personality, and producer. At that time he was already interested in unusual and unique jazz recordings, and so he inevitably came across the record label from Germany’s Black Forest (Schwarzwald), whose catalogue encompassed a large, totally distinct repertoire that had never been released anywhere else. Naturally, there was a long list of amazing interpretations of jazz classics from acknowledged jazz masters, but early on Gilles had developed the talent to dig deeper into the depths of the archives in order to ferret out the special features of the catalogue – occasionally discovering a obscurity – and bring them to the light of day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe seemed to be able to effortlessly show a completely new connection between classic jazz recordings through the way they were chosen, assorted, and sequenced. Thus, every single title was imbued with a new energy, freshness, and, above all, timelessness, always with an eye on whether the chosen recordings would possibly be compatible with the needs of clubs. This present MPS compilation is an especially good example of Gilles Peterson’s amazing talent. It delivers only a small, yet carefully chosen section out of the depths of the MPS archives. — via Label\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6VflpBTIdO5wvutZII2Grw?utm_source=generator\u0026amp;theme=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5HCdVswwo4w?si=ZW85D4uZ3rdHrM91\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Edel \/ MPS Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 × Vinyl, LP, Album, Compilation\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2016\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFile under: Jazz Compilation\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MPS Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456465838238,"sku":"4029759108818","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/81K49TOwBFL._SL1500.jpg?v=1738302665"},{"product_id":"sun-ra-in-some-far-place-roma-77-rsd-2016-release","title":"Sun Ra – In Some Far Place: Roma '77 (RSD 2016 release)","description":"\u003cp\u003e1977 was a transitional time for jazz enigma and self-proclaimed member of an “angel race“, Sun Ra. During the Summer of 1976, he had stormed Montreux and toured West Africa with one of the greatest of his full-sized Arkestras before embarking on occasional solo concerts for the first time, emphasising his prowess at the piano. Although he had always played the blues within Arkestra sets, he now summoned up the rolling tradition of blues piano, recalling Otis Spann, Avery Parrish, stride and ricky-tick styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe made two solo albums for Paul Bley’s Improvising Artists label (’Solo Piano’ and ’St. Louis Blues’) before travelling to Rome. For the concert, featured here, Ra brought in drummer Luqman Ali, who had been part of the Arkestra during the band’s early Chicago years, and vocalist Thomas Thaddeus aka Eddie Thomas. Thomas was a percussionist, dancer and “incense dude“ with the Arkestra throughout the late ‚70s period. He would appear again on Ra’s ’Lanquidity’ album for Philly Jazz in ’79.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring this intimate concert, Ra takes us through piano and synthesizer renditions of Arkestra staples like ’Love In Outer Space’, ’Space Is The Place’ and ’Calling Planet Earth’ but also explores a selection of jazz standards. Among them, we hear the first ever released Ra version of the 1930s staple ’I Cover The Waterfront’ alongside a dissonant version of ’Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child’ and ’St. Louis Blues’.

Despite all of the obstacles and subsequent tragedy, this quintet became legendary over the years justifiably so — and developed into a role model for all progressive jazz combos to come. The combined power of Dolphy and Little; exploring overt but in retrospect not excessive dissonance and atonality — made them a target for critics but admired among the burgeoning progressive post-bop scene. With the always stunning shadings of pianist Mal Waldron, the classical-cum-daring bass playing of Richard Davis, and the colorful drumming of alchemistic Ed Blackwell, there was no stopping this group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLive at the legendary Five Spot Café in New York City, this band set the Apple, and the entire jazz world on their collective ears. \"Fire Waltz\" demonstrates perfectly how the bonfire burns from inside the soul of these five brilliant provocateurs, as Dolphy's sour alto and Little's dour trumpet signify their new thing. Dolphy's solo is positively furious, while Blackwell nimbly switches up sounds within the steady 3\/4 beat. \"Bee Vamp\" does not buzz so much as it roars in hard bop trim. A heavy tandem line breaks and separates in the horn parts like booster rockets. Blackwell is even more amazing, and Dolphy's ribald bass clarinet set standards that still influences players of the instrument. Where \"The Prophet\" is a puckery blues, it is also open armed with minor phrasings and stretched harmonics.

Their magic and in-the-fast-lane fluidity was best caught onstage, in a live context. One who witnessed the ascent of the group was the normally staid music journalist Ralph Gleason, who later wrote:\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eI heard this band many nights at the Blackhawk in San Francisco, for which I am grateful…they wailed. And they didn’t need to warm up…the sheer intensity of it was thrilling. Fast or slow, they made every bar sound like it had been born in an atom-splitting burst of energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quintet was a phenomenon. At their exuberant, full-throttle best, the group simply had so much to offer: Coltrane’s raw, edgy – at times endless – tenor improvisations.

Miles’ subdued, muted trumpet. Chambers’ adept and soulful bowed solos. Years after the quintet’s debut, jazz writers were exhilarated by their interactivity. “The intricacy of the linkage between the minds of these musicians has never been equaled in any group, in my opinion,” wrote Gleason. Prestige president Bob Weinstock lauded them “the Louis Armstrong Hot Five of the modern era.” In 1956, when Columbia Records wanted to sign Miles away from Prestige, he still had significant time on his 3-year contract. As Columbia’s George Avakian remembered, Miles brainstormed a win-win situation that made both labels happy:\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMiles got a crazy idea and it worked. He said “Tell Bob Weinstock you’d like to record me, and you won’t put the masters out until the end of my [Prestige] contract, which would be about two years hence. Meanwhile they can stockpile albums, and when Columbia comes out with my first album, you’re going to advertise it and promote it, right?” I said, “Sure we will.” “So Prestige will get the benefit of that . . .”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStockpile is exactly what Prestige did: in 1956, over two marathon sessions, Miles and his Quintet performed four album’s worth of tunes, most of them from their well-rehearsed live set-list of jazz standards, with no retakes.

The pretty songs: Miles alone with the rhythm section, Coltrane laying out as he often did on the trumpeter’s ballad features.

Similar to the early work of Autechre and Aphex Twin, the duo is one of the few European artists who can match their American precursors with regard to a sense of spirit in otherwise electronic music. This is pure machine soul, reminiscent of some forgotten Japanese animation soundtrack or a rusting Commodore 64 just about to give up the ghost. Alternating broadly sketched works with minute-long vignettes (the latter of which comprise several of the best tracks on the album), \u003cem\u003eMusic Has the Right to Children\u003c\/em\u003e is one of the best electronic releases of 1998. — (via John Bush \/\/ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/music-has-the-right-to-children-mw0000042674\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoards of Canada’s 1998 album is a beat-music touchstone, a record that took the previous decade of home-listening electronic music and essentially perfected it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes an album is so good and makes its case so flawlessly that it spawns a mini-genre of its own and becomes shorthand for a prescribed set of values. The Velvet Underground's \u003cem\u003ethird\u003c\/em\u003e and Miles Davis' \u003cem\u003eBitches Brew\u003c\/em\u003e are two older records that spring to mind, and I'd toss in \u003cem\u003eSpiderland\u003c\/em\u003e as well. It's not a long list, but somewhere on it belongs Boards of Canada's\u003cem\u003e Music Has the Right to Children\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarlier this month, Warp Records reissued \u003cem\u003eMusic Has the Right to Children\u003c\/em\u003e worldwide, adding the bonus track \"Happy Cycling\" (which we Americans with our Matador-licensed copies have always known as the album closer) and redesigning the cover art as a foldout digipak. It's always a bit strange when an album is reissued when it has not, in any sense, ever gone away. How could we possibly have forgotten about M\u003cem\u003eusic Has the Right to Children \u003c\/em\u003ewhen the sound Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin created here is still the predominant inspiration in IDM? And yet, here we are, new package and new marketing push. Even so, six years after its original release is as good as any time to look into why Music Has the Right to Children has resonated so strongly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoards of Canada's sound was not wholly original. Seeds of it can be found in Eno, Aphex Twin (in a big way), The Orb, and all over the home listening electronic scene that sprang up in the wake of Warp's Artificial Intelligence compilation. Boards used drum machines, samplers, and an unfathomable collection of analog and digital synths, like others in their sphere. Their chords were typically gauzy ambient, their beats head-nodding downtempo. Properly speaking, they invented nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yet, the parts had never come together quite like this. The first thing to note is that \u003cem\u003eMusic Has the Right\u003c\/em\u003e revealed Boards of Canada to be geniuses with texture, where god is in the details. The incredibly simple melody of the short \"Bocuma\" becomes a lump-in-the-throat meditation on man's place in the universe through subtle pitchshifts and just the right mist of reverb. The slow fade-in on \"An Eagle in Your Mind\" is the lonesome sound of a gentle wind brushing the surface of Mars moments after the last rocket back to Earth has lifted off. The long history of the electric piano was nothing but a lead-in to the tone Boards used on \"Turquoise Hexagon Sun\", the perfect evocation of a happy walk through the woods in an altered state. Every IDM artist since has at least once labored over their modular unit to get a patch that sounds like one of the many brilliant sounds found here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoards of Canada had released some singles and two EPs previous to this record's release, material which showed that they'd already developed their sound. But with \u003cem\u003eMusic Has the Right to Children\u003c\/em\u003e, the duo set out to make a proper album, and approached the album from a rock perspective, carefully mixing and editing the track sequence, while drafting interludes and tightly restricting the palette. You aren't likely to hear more subtly effective layering of sounds on any electronic record in the last 10 years: \u003cem\u003eMusic Has the Right to Children\u003c\/em\u003e is as unified and complete they come. Here, Boards of Canada set their sights on a small set of moods and characteristics - innocence, apprehension, wonder, mystery- and probed every possibility in minute detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's it all about, then? \"Childhood\" is the usual answer, but that's not as easy a connection as it seems on the surface. The giggling voices of kids that crop up are a sure giveaway, as are the song titles (\"Rue the Whirl\", \"Happy \"Cycling\"), but Music Has the Right to Children avoids the twinkling music box melodies that Múm has been coasting on for a while now. Boards managed to evoke childhood without seeming cute or twee. It's childhood not as it's lived but as we grown-ups remember it, at least those of us with less-than-fond recollections. The shades of darkness and undercurrents of tension (qualities which came further to the fore on 2002's Geogaddi) accurately reflect the confusion of a time that cannot be neatly summed up with any one feeling or emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you discover that Boards of Canada took their name came from an organization committed to educational film, the overriding idea of their project clicks immediately into place. I've no memories of the National Film Board of Canada but I remember tapes with narration and incidental music accompanying filmstrips, tapes that were always damaged from age and overuse on poorly maintained equipment. The warbly pitch and warped voices mirrored the anxiety that came with the \"carefree\" days of being a kid and living subjugated to others. Boards of Canada tapped into the collective unconscious of those who grew up in the English speaking West and were talented enough to transcribe the soundtrack. No need to get hung up on specifics; however we lived and whoever we were, \u003cem\u003eMusic Has the Right to Children\u003c\/em\u003e reflected back the truth for a lot of us. You can't ask more of an album than that. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/reviews\/albums\/838-music-has-the-right-to-children\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6LZiNXaDvhzvnXUubVOmNU?utm_source=generator\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Warp Records \/ Skam\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2x Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Repress\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2016 \/ Original: 1998\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003cbr\u003eStyle: IDM, Ambient, Leftfield\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: TAV Essential Listening\u003cbr\u003eFile under:  Electronic \/\/ Leftfield\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warp Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456472719518,"sku":"801061805517","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a3351001335_10.jpg?v=1705556316"},{"product_id":"boards-of-canada-the-campfire-headphase","title":"Boards Of Canada – The Campfire Headphase","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoards Of Canada’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethird album for Warp Records, \u003cem\u003eThe Campfire Headphase\u003c\/em\u003e, was originally released in 2005.

For the first time the group have incorporated acoustic and electric instruments, like guitars, alongside their customary array of vintage analogue synths and digital samples. So they're no longer making electronic music but an unclassifiable hybrid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOccasionally the new hues don't seem as idiosyncratic as their patented faded Super8-film synth tones, but then again, there's a thin line between developing your own vocabulary and coining your own set of cliches, and we should probably applaud BoC's attempt to extend their palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the gorgeous mind-ripples of 'Satellite Anthem' and the dewy-eyed dreamwalk of \"84 Pontiac Dream' represent classic BoC almost to the point of redundancy, 'Dayvan Cowboy' steps off the group's beaten path.

BoC can also be seen as heirs to the psychedelic tradition, grandchildren of Syd Barrett and the Incredible String Band. The connection comes through not just in the duo's obsession with childhood or their frankly goofy song titles, but also in the stereophonic delirium of their production. On 'Oscar See Through Red Eye' and 'Slow This Bird', sounds pan back and forth across the speakers, the drift and swirl making you melt into a voluptuous disorientation. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2005\/sep\/18\/shopping3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story of how I discovered Boards of Canada isn’t very romantic or memorable, but I still remember it.

What struck me about the band is how familiar they sounded. They had a quality about them that immediately struck me as warm, childlike and nostalgic. They were an electronic act that felt unusually organic; they weren’t restricted solely to the dancefloor or the laptop, instead creating something altogether inviting and personal and oddly eerie at times. Inspired by educational film soundtracks (from which they took their name), you could almost see photosynthesis taking place while you listened. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Campfire Headphase\u003c\/em\u003e contains essentially the same qualities that made the group’s earlier records \u003cem\u003eMusic Has the Right to Children\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eGeogaddi\u003c\/em\u003e as captivating as they were. The songs themselves have an immediacy and warmth not often found in IDM, the beats are never too overbearing, and the between-song interludes are frequently as fascinating and mysterious as the tracks themselves.

While there are no glaring differences between this and the previous two full-lengths, there is a more pronounced guitar presence this time around, which makes for an interesting change in tone and palette. Part of what makes \u003cem\u003eThe Campfire Headphase\u003c\/em\u003e seem a little strange at first is that guitar; it’s such a central part of the first proper “song” on the record (“Chromakey Dreamcoat”), that it almost seems like a different group.

The results were magic. Ever since Jazz Samba, the jazz marketplace had been flooded with bossa nova albums, and the overexposure was beginning to make the music seem like a fad. Getz\/Gilberto made bossa nova a permanent part of the jazz landscape not just with its unassailable beauty, but with one of the biggest smash hit singles in jazz history - \"The Girl From Ipanema,\" a Jobim classic sung by João's wife, Astrud Gilberto, who had never performed outside of her own home prior to the recording session. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond that, most of the Jobim songs recorded here also became standards of the genre - \"Corcovado\" (which featured another vocal by Astrud), \"So Danço Samba,\" \"O Grande Amor,\" a new version of \"Desafinado.\" With such uniformly brilliant material, it's no wonder the album was such a success but, even apart from that, the musicians all play with an effortless grace that's arguably the fullest expression of bossa nova's dreamy romanticism ever brought to American listeners. Getz himself has never been more lyrical, and Gilberto and Jobim pull off the harmonic and rhythmic sophistication of the songs with a warm, relaxed charm. This music has nearly universal appeal; it's one of those rare jazz records about which the purist elite and the buying public are in total agreement.

The woman problem gets investigated as well, on two realistic yet sensitive tracks, \"Butter\" and \"The Infamous Date Rape.\" The productions behind these tracks aren't quite skeletal, but they're certainly not complex. Instead, Tribe weaves little more than a stand-up bass (sampled or, on one track, jazz luminary Ron Carter) and crisp, live-sounding drum programs with a few deftly placed samples or electric keyboards.

The song, unofficially credited to \"Jaylib,\" was never intended for commercial release, but it got the two producer\/mc's together to talk about an equal collaboration.

As one might expect, the production qualities of an album made by two of hip-hop's most celebrated producers is rich in texture, innovation, and solid momentum. Where Madlib is a seasoned MC (look at Lootpack's Soundpieces or Quasimoto's The Unseen), Dilla is not. He's not bad, just rougher around the edges, which lends to a disorienting listen in general. The beats are slapped together, whacked samples are abruptly dropped, and the lyrics are steps behind the beat and generally about nothing but b-boy posturing and other nonsense. All of which results in a very unique and strangely rewarding album. While it may require repeated listens to take hold, Champion Sound is full of a lot more winners than losers. —(via \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/champion-sound-mw0000318883\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.spotify.com\/?uri=spotify%3Aalbum%3A6Jv0VIFX5CMzxAK6JwAB23\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItem description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 686px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/search?q=%22Jaylib%22\"\u003eJaylib\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChampion Sound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/search?q=%22Label+-+Stones+Throw+Records%22\"\u003eStones Throw Records\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 × Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reissue: 2009 | Original - 2003\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHip Hop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalog No:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTH 2062\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stones Throw Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456490676382,"sku":"659457206215","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/JAYLIBCHAMPIONSO_2019-11-06_13-19-30_iwjrsyHeNP_2000xcopy.jpg?v=1714125837"},{"product_id":"freddie-hubbard-breaking-point","title":"Freddie Hubbard – Breaking Point","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite having performed on several of the most revolutionary avant-garde jazz records of the 1960s, including Ornette Coleman’s Free Jazz and John Coltrane’s Ascension, Freddie Hubbard’s own albums tended to hew closer to the mainstream.

Ólafur is known for his unique mix of strings, piano with loops and edgy beats crossing-over from ambient\/electronic to pop.

It’s a charming bit of film, and while the music itself leaves you breathless, it’s very much worth also watching to truly understand just how spontaneously brilliant this album is, considering it was put together between the hours of 8pm and 4am. Despite being a fully improvised LP, the album gains some structural integrity by ending where it began, with a piece for two pianos, with the charming addition of Arnalds delicately humming. It’s an album that gets full marks not due to being a certain amount away from perfection, but because it’s such a feat of improvisation and incorporating elements that many would perceive to be flaws. — (via Headliner)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5yulSZK48ArdLPXWur0qik?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Erased Tapes Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2016\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic, Classical\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Contemporary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Modern Classical\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erased Tapes Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456515776670,"sku":"4050486110539","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/tRANCE-fRENDZ.jpg?v=1646291411"},{"product_id":"sonny-rollins-way-out-west","title":"Sonny Rollins – Way Out West","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe timeless \u003cem\u003eWay out West\u003c\/em\u003e established Sonny Rollins as jazz's top tenor saxophonist (at least until John Coltrane surpassed him the following year).

The opener \"Safe from Harm\" is the best example, with diva vocalist Shara Nelson trading off lines with the group's own monotone (yet effective) rapping. Even more than hip-hop or dance, however, dub is the big touchstone on Blue Lines. Most of the productions aren't quite as earthy as you'd expect, but the influence is palpable in the atmospherics of the songs, like the faraway electric piano on \"One Love\" (with beautiful vocals from the near-legendary Horace Andy). One track, \"Five Man Army,\" makes the dub inspiration explicit, with a clattering percussion line, moderate reverb on the guitar and drums, and Andy's exquisite falsetto flitting over the chorus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlue Lines\u003c\/em\u003e isn't all darkness, either - \"Be Thankful for What You've Got\" is quite close to the smooth soul tune conjured by its title, and \"Unfinished Sympathy\" - the group's first classic production - is a tremendously moving fusion of up-tempo hip-hop and dancefloor jam with slow-moving, syrupy strings. Flaunting both their range and their tremendously evocative productions, Massive Attack recorded one of the best dance albums of all time. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/blue-lines-mw0000264743\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5mAPk4qeNqVLtNydaWbWlf?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Virgin \u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180 gram\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2016 \/ Original: 1991\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Trip Hop, Downtempo, Leftfield\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: TAV Essential Listening\u003cbr\u003eFile under: Electronic \/\/  Downtempo\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virgin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456531636382,"sku":"602557009606","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/5cc581b5df84e7adb390115feeaed313a2588790.jpg?v=1646291638"},{"product_id":"floating-points-elaenia-uk-press","title":"Floating Points ‎– Elaenia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- A TAV Essential Listening Album -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis debut album from British producer Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points is a fluid and spacious electronic symphony. Originally conceived as one long piece, Shepherd eventually divided his composition into seven tracks that flow from quiet, open spaces to beatless techno to sci-fi fantasia. While Floating Points commands a deserved reputation as an outstanding DJ, Elaenia is not meant for the club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConceived from a dream he had about a bird that became engulfed in a forest, and drawing inspiration from classical, jazz, electronic, soul and Brazilian music, this record subtly envelops the listener as they journey further inward through its richly arranged foliage of ambient electronica and orchestral elements (violin, viola and cello).

We might find ourselves \"reincarnated as a SIM card in Singapore, or as a beetle in Scotland,\" as Shepherd told Pitchfork recently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe recorded the song \"Elaenia\" the very next morning, and its improvised, fluid form mirrors the dream's holistic vision. Made with just a Fender Rhodes electric piano and a handful of arcane synthesizers, it bobs between gurgles and limpid, lyric melodies. At more than seven minutes long, it is the second-longest song on the album, and also the most spare— just a handful of chords, some rumble, and a lot of nuance. Like an ocean swell, it is simple on the surface but complex beneath, and the same could be said of \u003cem\u003eElaenia\u003c\/em\u003e as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough comparatively short—just seven songs totaling some 43 minutes—\u003cem\u003eElaenia\u003c\/em\u003e is rich and welcoming, balancing Shepherd's intelligence with intuition. Flitting between strange time signatures and simple pulses, it utilizes mostly analog synthesizers, pairing them with live instrumentation: electric bass, guitar, piano, live drums, and strings. It is as warm and fluid an \"electronic\" album as you will hear all year, and it has a timeless feel: There's no reason it could not have been written and recorded 10, 20, or even 30 years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor long-time fans of the UK producer, musician, and DJ, \u003cem\u003eElaenia\u003c\/em\u003e feels both like a surprise and a logical extension of his previous singles and EPs. Rhythms are played, not looped or sampled; the album skirts the edges of the dancefloor, flitting between ambient miniatures and extended jams falling somewhere between post-rock and jazz fusion. But nothing here feels like a radical departure, which is a testament to Shepherd's gradual process of refinement. He is trained in neuroscience and epigenetics, but it would be just as easy to imagine him as a furniture builder who had spent the past six years working on a single desk. The underlying structure of his work has remained more or less constant for years, but with every recording, it gets a little smoother, a little more perfect, inching a little closer to its ideal form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShepherd has cited Talk Talk as an inspiration, and you can hear the influence of albums like Laughing Stock on the porous fabric of \u003cem\u003eElaenia\u003c\/em\u003e. It's a record best heard loud, because the quiet parts can be very quiet, and its spirit lies less in melodies or even moods than in tiny details. With the exception of the cosmic jazz-leaning \"Silhouettes (1,11,111)\", you're left less with hummable themes than with small, passing moments: the burnished gleam of a lone Rhodes key hit hard, a faint scrap of radio static, soft notes that cling to each other like burrs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn keeping with the transfiguration theme, the music seems to have no stable center at all. It moves like clouds in the sky, slowly and imperceptibly shape-shifting, and at any given moment, what's being played matters less than how we arrived at that point. The sense of an unbroken line is paramount, leading to the album's final thrill when it is suddenly yanked up at a 45-degree angle. In five minutes it goes from silence to jet-engine loud. Synthesizers snarl, the string section goes into overdrive, and the drum kit rolls on inexorably, explosion upon explosion. The song, \"Peroration Six\", is the only one where you feel Shepherd and company really letting loose.  It's a revelation and a rush, a full-on \"Fuck yeah!\" shouted into the coming storm. The last thing we hear sounds almost like a wrong note, and then it's all simply cut short. The silence is deafening; it feels like waking up from a very heavy dream. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/reviews\/albums\/21110-floating-points-elaenia\/\"\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7rVCUeALk18LDSTP1X2msh?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Pluto\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Repress\u003cbr\u003eRepressed: 2021 \/ Original Release: 2015\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic, Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Contemporary Jazz, House\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Leftfield\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456532226206,"sku":"5053760061182","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/Capture_c3645753-70d3-46ea-a8cd-28d306c6d482.jpg?v=1708958108"},{"product_id":"autechre-tri-repetae-2016-reissue","title":"Autechre ‎– Tri Repetae [Reissue]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- A TAV Essential Listening Album -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Autechre is remembered today as one of the vanguards on the bleeding edge of IDM during the mid-1990s, it’s important to note that their first two albums were rather conventional.

Yet somehow, he built a loyal fanbase that included Duke Ellington, Igor Stravinsky, Charlie Parker, Bob Dylan, Philip Glass and Steve Reich (who christened him “the godfather of minimalism”). In 1969, the wider world would also get to know the complex simplicity of his compositions through his self-titled album on Columbia Masterworks. Featuring pieces that Moondog had been constructing for over a decade, the eccentric record contained minisyms (short symphonies), canons, chaconnes, jazz and ballet music. Brought to life with the help of 50 musicians, Moondog’s oddly metered yet richly melodic third stream tour de force shook the music world, helping the minimalist master break out beyond the street corners of Manhattan.- The Analog Vault\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was born Louis Hardin, but the world knew him as Moondog—and his avant-garde compositions influenced a generation of minimalist composers like Philip Glass and Steve Reich.

The whirling “Minisym #1” bursts at the seams with menace and drive despite its stunted runtime, and the melodies woven throughout “Symphonique #3 (Ode to Venus)” boast a poignancy that could rival Elgar’s famed Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85. Jazz elements are just as prevalent and at their most in apparent in pieces like “Symphonique #6”, where clarinets croon with big band flair in apt tribute to the “King of Swing” himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoondog’s disdain for convention and his knack for genre fusion are intoxicating, but the album’s standout is his flawless integration of unusual percussion and odd meter, or what he called snaketime, into his distinct amalgam of modern classical elements and jazz leanings. Instruments of Moondog’s own design punctuate the record’s introductory “Theme” with peculiar rhythms before seguing into the equally serpentine snare and timpani work of “Stamping Ground”. It’s a fitting opening statement for a man who would “not die in 4\/4 time”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuirks notwithstanding, this collection is arguably less \"experimental\" than some of Moondog's other works. The music is surprisingly accessible given its origins, yet its ambitiousness and creativity is none the worse for wear. The Viking may have been blind, but his vision was crystalline. Moondog is a career highlight of an unlikely hero, who amidst the clatter of a busy street corner forged a path all his own. For someone who had the stones to criticize J.S. Bach for his counterpoint “mistakes”, it must have seemed like the only way to go.” – \u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.sputnikmusic.com\/review\/68740\/Moondog-Moondog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eSputnik Music\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Theme\" – 2:34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Stamping Ground\" – 2:36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Symphonique #3 (Ode to Venus)\" – 5:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Symphonique #6 (Good for Goodie)\" – 2:44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Minisym #1: i - Allegro, ii - Andante Adagio, iii - Vivace\" – 5:42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Lament 1 (Bird's Lament)\" – 1:41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Witch of Endor: i - Dance, ii - Trio: (a) Adagio (The Prophecy), (b) - Andante (The Battle), (c) - Agitato (Saul's Death'), iii - Dance (reprise)\" – 6:27\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Symphonique #1 (Portrait of a Monarch)\" – 2:34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8SD87q_A9cQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Columbia Masterworks \/ Legacy\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, White \u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2017\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz, Classical\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Big Band, Contemporary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: TAV Essential Listening\u003cbr\u003eFile under: Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456542449822,"sku":"MoondogMooDefaultTitle","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/Moondog.jpg?v=1646743423"},{"product_id":"patrick-cowley-afternooners","title":"Patrick Cowley - Afternooners | Dark Entries Records","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDark Entries and Honey Soundsystem Records have teamed up once more to release the final volume of gay porn soundtracks by San Francisco-based musician and producer, Patrick Cowley. One of the most revolutionary and influential figures in the canon of disco, Cowley created his own brand of Hi-NRG dance music, “The San Francisco Sound.” Born in Buffalo, NY on October 19, 1950, Patrick moved to San Francisco in 1971 to study at the City College of San Francisco. He founded the Electronic Music Lab at the school, where he would make experimental soundtracks by blending various types of music and adapting them to the synthesizer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing 70 minutes of music never before released on vinyl.

The vinyl is housed in a gatefold jacket designed by Berlin-based artist Gwenael Rattke, featuring black and white photos of Patrick in his studio that opens to a full color array of x-rated scenes from the Fox Studio vaults. Included is a fold-out poster featuring a handmade collage using photography and xeroxed graphics of classic gay porn imagery and an essay from Drew Daniel of Matmos. For Patrick’s 67th birthday, Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem Records present a glimpse into the futuristic world of a young genius. These recordings shed a new light on the experimental side of a disco legend who was taken too soon. – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/patrickcowley.bandcamp.com\/album\/afternooners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“There's your average gay porn music, and then there's the stuff that Patrick Cowley made.

It’s a catchy, fascinating electronic album that lives in a lucid unreality. “For me, music is a different place,” said DJ and producer M.E.S.H. in a 2016 interview. As a resident with the Berlin collective Janus, James Whipple—aka M.E.S.H.—has been instrumental in developing the splintered, genre-bending sound for which Janus’ club nights (and its members’ productions) have come to be known. Though engaged with club tropes, his own productions stray outside the formal bounds of dance music, developing oblique narratives that circle around the weird underbelly of life with technology. His second full-length \u003cem\u003eHesaitix\u003c\/em\u003e offers a loamy sonic futurism that breaks from the digitized universes we’ve come to expect of these kinds of projects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElsewhere, ideas assume a more tumultuous pace, held together by sharply designed percussion that’s made to physically engage the listener.

Those omnivorous tendencies motivate this collection of tracks, and where previous M.E.S.H. releases might have had a deconstructed aesthetic, here it feels slippery but solid. The claustrophobic “Coercer” offers a mutant take on drum ‘n’ bass, hissing and sputtering as textures rub against one another; “Search. Reveal.” paints synthesizer impasto over a galloping dry rattle (and its melodic refrain proves as sticky as that of Whipple’s 2014 “Imperial Sewers,”).

And better late than never, for the performances are as classy as the set list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not revolutionary jazz-funk, as Hancock's own Head Hunters (CBS, 1973) was and Future Shock (CBS, 1983) would be. It is music with which to soothe a furrowed brow or two. There are elegant contributions from Hancock, Maupin on soprano and tenor saxophones and Webster Lewis on organ and acoustic piano. The trio float over sumptuous grooves laid down by Jackson, Summers, guitarist Ray Obiedo and drummer Alphonse Mouzon. Along with the Hancock originals, some with lyrics written by Hancock's sister Jean, the album includes Stevie Wonder's \"As\" and Graselli \u0026amp; Malanet's \"Head In The Clouds.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is not one dud on the album.

The band's unusual lineup - saxophone\/clarinet, tuba, and two or three drummers - fits with the historic label's revolutionary tradition forged by John and Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, etc. Hutchings is no mere descendent of his heroes, however. He's amassed dozens of musical credits (including work with Mulatu Astatke and Yusef Kamaal) and leads three different bands: Sons of Kemet, Shabaka and the Ancestors, and the electro space-jazz outfit Comet Is Coming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Sons of Kemet's third album. Its title refers to the white patriarchy as made manifest in royal and political matriarchies (the queen and Theresa May), and their unrepentant racism toward immigrants. The nine tracks pay homage to iconic Black women from Angela Davis and Harriet Tubman to social psychologist Mamie Phipps Clarke and Hutchings' own great-grandmother, Ada Eastman. Despite the charged nature of the concept, these sounds are not easily categorized as \"angry.\" In fact, if one knew nothing about the motivation here, they would swear the music reflects only Black celebration and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHerein lies the terrain where the carnival tradition of the Caribbean stretches west and north simultaneously to New Orleans' marching bands and South London's adventurous, well-integrated contemporary music scene; it's where modern avant-jazz meets funk, folk tradition, grime (thanks to two raps by poet Joshua Idehen), and reggae (courtesy of toaster Congo Natty). \"My Queen Is Ada Eastman\" opens with rolling double-drum kits (Tom Skinner and Seb Rochford - the latter alternates with or complements Eddie Hick and Moses Boyd) - while Theon Cross' tuba establishes a hypnotic bassline and Hutchings weaves a labyrinthine, almost snaky melody. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey dig deep into reggae with \"My Queen Is Mamie Phipps Clarke,\" as Natty delivers a Rasta poem with Hutchings' tenor winding around him amid stretched-out dub effects. \"My Queen Is Angela Davis\" equates, knotty, martial, yet funky rhythms as Cross and Hutchings exchange a contrapuntal lyric line that touches on carnival music and Arabic double-harmonic scales. While \"My Queen Is Nanny of the Maroons,\" titled for the famed Jamaican anti-colonialist, uses a hypnotic Nyabinghi rhythm, the tuba lays down a rocksteady bassline and Hutchings breathes out a gentle modal ballad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNubya Garcia adds a second saxophone to \"My Queen Is Yaa Asantewaa\" amid incantatory Ghanaian-style drumming and a declarative tuba. On \"My Queen Is Albertina Sisulu,\" the drumming and stretched harmony delineate where South African township jive meets avant-jazz (and traces a direct line from Brotherhood of Breath). Hip-hop, funk, and Fela all meet in closer \"My Queen Is Doreen Lawrence\" (titled for the British Jamaican campaigner), with punchy tenor lines, roiling snares, and kick drums with bleating below-the-floor bass notes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYour Queen Is a Reptile\u003c\/em\u003e is easily Sons of Kemet's most compelling outing.

From Bellingham, WA is drummer Julian MacDonough (who also was the first drummer to sit down with Delvon Lamarr when he played the organ for the very first time, they were also in a band together called Megatron). Julian's hi-energy drumming can create an enthusiastic visual experience. Delvon and Julian's undeniable chemistry is unparalleled in comparison creating a unique experience at every show. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio may have this KEXP session to thank for much of the notoriety they have received since it first premiered. Since then, they've secured a record deal, a world renowned booking agent, a publishing deal, international sponsorships, and will be embarking on a national tour this spring. This session was released on vinyl for the first time for Record Store Day 2018, marking the first full KEXP session ever to be pressed on vinyl. Now it's available once again on black vinyl, CD, and cassette. — via Label\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1109602158\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Colemine Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Repress, Gatefold, Black Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2018\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz, Funk \/ Soul\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Funk, Jazz-Funk, Soul-Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Funk \/ Soul\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colemine Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456612737182,"sku":"659123100342","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a3304237885_10.jpg?v=1746340522"},{"product_id":"steve-elliot-completion-of-a-miracle-reissue","title":"Steve Elliot – Completion Of A Miracle | Reissue","description":"\u003cp\u003eEarly 80's obscure release reissued - The whole album is a great listen, overall a lo-fi diy feel with groovy drum machines and lushed out synths over the top.
