ADDICT AMEBA - PANAMOR
More than simply being a band, Addict Ameba is a wide Italian collective that makes brotherhood the weapon to live music together crossing all cultural boundaries. The driving force lies in the heterogeneous background of its members and the relative familiarity with different folkloric areas. The original and ambitious arrangements make the result a delicious soup! In this first work, their personal Afro-Latin-beat reveals a sincere meeting between African and Central American traditions... for this reason they are against the drift of continents! The collective is connected to Al Doum and the Faryds, sharing some of their members, the same music label and the Guscio Studio where the album has been cooked thanks to the wisdom of the great master pirate. You can travel halfway between the Atlantic continents, where a gritty guitar deploys a solid knowledge of the stronger Latin-rock - you know the "Santana of Piola" is on board! - but it absorbs funky and Tuareg riffs too, as well as brilliant psych deviations. Heavy horns abound with solutions and influences, blowing arias of Ethio-jazz or Cuban-salsa crossings, such as calypso and Caribbean progressions. However, it's the rhythmic sailors section that supports all the dynamics of the sound with impeccable qualities of polyrhythm, sending seas of bodies into ecstasy; maybe they learn this rowing on a boat? Panamor represents "a profound union between living beings and objects in an increasingly divided World". Such pirates of love!

AL DOUM & THE FARYDS - FREAKY PEOPLE
Al Doum and the Faryds continue their journey toward a New Direction. Now, they live in a futuristic Garden of Delights, inhabited by strange bright bubbles, golden wheels, water secrets and mysterious plants. From their home of Love & Nature, they set out to travel the Universe to forge a new Being together. Their typical blend of spiritual-jazz, psychedelia and Afro-Latin rock remains on the same wave, accentuating the collective rite of liberation and expansion of the spirit. There's certainly a greater lightness and airiness, expecially in the most immediate and direct arrangements to convey the message of brotherhood; because the absolute weapon lies in female voices and choirs. These chants are incisive gospel and soul sermons and their narration magically permeates throughout the album. Everything is always supported by the balance between robust and biting guitar riffs, raga-rock incursions, tribal rhythm sections and impregnable and captivating sax drifts; and echoes of the soft lysergic sound of the '60s cannot be missing. This is music of multiple forces, a sacred harmony to overcome barriers, which sees no enemies and breaks down egos. It's the playfulness and the power in making music together, the true magic recipe of these Freaky People: we are what the Universe wants!

DE LA MORA, FABRICCIO - ENTROPY DEATH
This album is an interpretation of the different stages that constitute the death of a supernova, as well as the hypothesis of the heat death of the universe. Both of these hypothesis stem from the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy tends to increase in an isolated system. If this system lasts enough, eventually energy would evenly dissipate, cooling it off. Compared to the previous album, 'Entropy Death' constitutes a more hardcore punk approach to kraut rock, along with a few other unorthodox rhythmic sections that give the album a singular yet original grit. 'Entropy Death' was composed, arranged and recorded at home with the help of Gustavo Jimenez on drums and Sergio Florean on electric guitar.
'Entropy Death' is De la Mora's 2nd solo album. Emitting from
Guadalajara, De la Mora's endeavour is to create futuristic landscapes that could be played in alien surgery rooms, spaceship pursuits, Martian extreme sports events, et al.
These compositions are being presented live as a group named El Nuevo Conjunto Musical de Fabriccio de la Mora (the new musical group of Fabriccio de la Mora), that includes the support of
the artists Gustavo Jimenez, Sergio Florean, Erick A. Torres, Alberto Ortiz, and Fausto Arellano. Limited to 250 copies on orange vinyl.

GRAHAM, DANNY - DANNY GRAHAM
Xerox Music is delighted to announce the first reissue of the self-titled debut album by Danny Graham. Originally released in 1980, it is a high watermark in the field of Australian home recorded, self-released singer-songwriter albums. An odd mix of folk, glam and soft rock with tons of personality. This home-recorded outsider classic has been compared to Bowie and Syd Barrett. The album is occasionally described as psychedelic, most likely because it doesn't really fit squarely into any other classification. On paper it could be described as simply a blend of folk and soft rock, but that doesn't quite hit the mark. Danny's unique songwriting, whispered vocals and multi-tracked guitars combined with the low-budget production elevate it to something greater than the sum of its parts. "Ordinarily the kind of record that would make us run a mile, Danny Graham's personality shines through on every song, and the LP's low-budget, home-recorded loner charm has turned it into an enduring favourite." ~Wallaby Beat

HIGH RISE - DISPERSION (2LP)
From the moment they emerged in the early days of the '80s Tokyo underground, High Rise set themselves apart as radical
outliers, shattering the limits of rock and psychedelic music with a ferocity unmatched even in that heady era. The group's core duo of Asahito Nanjo on bass/vocals and Munehiro Narita on guitar had an explosive chemistry; they mutated, distorted,
amplified the raw velocity, heaviness, and electricity of late '60s/early '70s rock into an entirely new, monstrous form. Running in similar circles, their approach paralleled that of Les Rallizes Dénudés, but with a more garage/proto-punk attack and the blistering intensity of a full-on amphetamine rush. While Mizutani's guitar is what took Rallizes's to another level, the same can be said for Narita's guitar work in High Rise - rightfully placing him in the pantheon of psychedelic guitarists and for some to call him "the undisputed king of the motorcycle fuzz guitar." The band inspired the launch of the legendary P.S.F. label, giving it its first two releases which along with its third release, the debut of Keiji Haino's Fushitsusha, signaled a new era in the world of Japanese underground music. High Rise's second album, 1986's 'II,' was a triumph and fully lived up to the group's original 'Psychedelic Speed Freaks' moniker, instantly raising the stakes for any band to follow. It carved out a new stream of rock music, rooted in an encyclopedic knowledge of the music's history and an almost metaphysical understanding of its raw elements and spirit. High Rise's third album, 1992's 'Dispersion,' kept the group's in-the-red intensity while pushing into new directions. Less grounded in speed, Nanjo along with drummer Dr. Euro build powerful, dynamic riffs that swing with crushing levels of
heaviness. Slower pieces rife with blues infused tension appear alongside dissonant no wave inflected passages and rumbling
biker rave-ups. All of which provide Narita with the room to create one of rock guitar's most compelling high wire spectacles. Throughout the album he creates dizzying torrents of notes with a precision, control and endless inventiveness that crackles with chaotic energy. As P.S.F.'s own description proclaimed at the time "Munehiro Narita's guitar explodes!" this is "Killer-Fuzz-Wah-Wah psychedelic heaven!"

JOPLIN, JANIS - LITTLE GIRL BLUE: EARLY CALIFORNIA SESSIONS
One of the best-known rock singers of the 1960s, Janis Joplin
made a lasting impact with a powerful mezzo-soprano voice and an electrifying stage presence, drawing on blues, country, and gospel. 'Little Girl Blue' gathers some of her earliest performances, dating from just after she ditched her native Texas for the San Francisco Bay Area; recorded at the Folk Theatre in San Jose and at SF's Coffee Gallery, the awesome power of her voice is already apparent on a cover of Ma Rainey's 'Leavin This Mornin' and 'Daddy Daddy Daddy,' the latter written with future Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen. A must for all Janis fans!

LAY LLAMAS - GOUD
Nicola Giunta and Gioele Valenti (the musicians creating the Lay Llamas dimension) seem to communicate from a different solar system their ecstatic gaze towards an imaginary future world. They rely mainly on a narrative tone of mysterious and spectral dark-psych shades, digging abyss of glacial depht of the self, where light filters through lysergic languors and radiant progressions of luminous dust. Oneiric voices refer to the hybrid chaos of a metropolitan jungle, as a hypnotic and psychic dimension of mind layers. 'Goud' is steeped in numerous literary, mythological, philosophical, ecological and alchemical references. Pulsating and magnetic Farfisa, mesmeric basses and flutes or poisonous pinkfloydian and krautrock patterns forge a clear divinatory aspect of the music. The trip ends in the dark night of the forest, with more acoustic flavours and percussive incense of pure acid-folk. The beautiful cover by Virginia Genta of Jooklo, with her amoebic-cosmic graphics, seems to perfectly seal the sound inspiration of one of the most advanced forges of Italian neo-psychedelia.

PANCAKES/AX GENRICH/ZONE SIX - UFOS OVER ELLMENDINGEN
Live at Alien Rocket Flight Festival. Artwork by Lulu Artwork.
Limited to 500 handnumbered copies. Featuring Ax Genrich, The Pancakes and Zone Six live on Oct 14th, 2011. The A (Moon) side starts off with 'A Trip To Paradise' by Ax and his current band. The track starts slow and spaced spacey but slowly takes off with a few spoken words, a bass solo and then Ax takes the center stage and plays some really cool guitar. Great track. The Pancakes are next with 'Man On The Moon', which features a lot of great psychedelic lead guitar playing and cool vocals as the singer is really good and passionate. The track must be 10 minutes long but has a good mix of melodic singing, guitar parts and psychedelia. Flip the record over to the UFO side and it starts with a track by the Pancakes called 'Elephant'. The track is built on a repetitive guitar riff that drives it. Hypnotic stuff. A little guitar freakout at the end. Zone Six starts with some space sounds and a melodic guitar line slowly moves to the front. As soon as the jam takes off it is driven by Lulu's bass line and Rainer's freaky guitar and will remind you of Electric Moon since it is basically all the same people and same concept. Sula plays the drums here though. Rainer is really freaking out on the guitar making this track quite spaced out. Crazy stuff.

PANCAKES/MAGI RAZZO - OH WHAT'S THAT/NEUE SIGNALE
Split LP on clear vinyl, limited to 500 copies. Artwork by Darren Merinuk. This is an interesting split LP with the current German psych band The Pancakes (older material from 2005-2009) and some unreleased material by Magi Razzo from 1986! The record comes with a 2 sided insert for each band. The A side starts with 5 tracks of psychedelic garage rock by the Pancakes including the one called 'The Too Long Fried Hemp Pancake Woman'. 'The Ghost' is a funny track but it has you singing along, "Silly Ghost" by the end. 'The Hemp Pancake' song is freaky, strange and a bit like surf psych stuff. The long track 'Flying' is more psychedelic and floating with some nice bendy guitar and a stoned nature. 'Hawaii' and 'Banana' are shorter 3-4 minute tracks. 'Hawaii' is a funny track and 'Banana' a mostly instrumental track with a repeated theme and again surf returns. Magi Razzo were a dada psychedelic band from Germany in the '80s. These 8 tracks were recorded on a 4 track tape machine in 1986. 'Java Girl' reminds a bit of Hungarian music! 'Der Rhein Ist Tot' is also a strange mix of surf calypso nonsense with some psychedelic guitar. 'Melancholie 86' has a cool drive to it as well. 'Flashback No. 5' also returns to this slight surf psych feel and a really strange psychout section in this instrumental track. 'Wieder Einmal' is the longest track at 5 minutes. 'Silicon Orbit' features that 13th Floor Elevators freaky jug sound but is pretty cool. 'Silicon Safer Sex Part 1' ends the side and is a happy strange number that you want to whistle along with. Pretty strange but cool record especially if you like surf psych stuff and understand German!

Par Asito's 4th full-length album. Hailing from Guadalajara, Mexico, this album merges space rock, noise and space exploration. Usually driven as a power trio, although this may vary depending on where the show takes place, Par Asito's music is aimed to provoke changes in the micro cosmos of the guts.
Based on science-gone-wrong movies and space travel, their presentations are characterized by its potency and brutality.
Sounds that evoke to that space beyond the event horizon of a black hole, two stars collapsing, or devouring each other.
When spaceship chases begin in the galaxy, Par Asito will be the soundtrack. Limited to 250 copies on black and pink Cadillac half/half vinyl.

PERSONA - SOM/O JOGO DAS MUTACOES (BOX)
What is the object with the most sensational magical and alchemical properties, if not glass? A permeable membrane that filters the real through the unconscious, an access portal with divinatory and therapeutic qualities, the glass has always been seen as the guardian of daring allegories and symbols. Aware of this, the artist Roberto Campadello conceived 'The Game Of Persona', in the context of an installation for the XII Biennale of Sao Paolo in 1973. Discovering the visual properties of gilded glass, he investigated the effects of the overlay of images, a mysterious moment of transparency in which two single people melt into the reflection of the image, creating a single fantastic person. Thus, his "Casa Dourada", also became the space for "Intro-nautical Journeys": meditations and cosmic dances. The history of this LP (originally published in a 10" box set in 1975) starts right to support those collective initiation sessions. Each track is inspired by an I Ching element (Mountain, Heaven, Earth, Water, Lake, Wind) which represented a primary source of inspiration for Campadello. The dreamlike and occult sound not only suggest the atmosphere of that experience but still reveal the echoes of the best season of the Brazilian rock and Tropicalismo. The music has been composed and played by Roberto Campadello and the Brazilian super-star guitarist Luis Carlini, the leader of Rita Lee's band Tutti Frutti. Fuzz guitars, dirty percussion, Echoplex delays, are the perfect elements for the final trip into your own consciousness. The boxset editin includes the 'Som' LP with 2 bonus tracks not released on the original 10" issue, a 24 page booklet, a poster with game instructions (70x50cm), a Persona mirror (31x26cm), 2 mirror supports, 2 candles, 2 candle handguards and the mulher-gato box. Co-produced with Nada Nada Discos.

"Croaking frogs, chopped up cinematic loops, disturbing druggy cover versions, gentle moments, manic moments, a banjo, hooks more infectious than the plague and all out sensory bliss, this ST 37 album is fucking brilliant! This is the culmination of three decades galactic exploration and the portal into this world of wonderment. Buckle up." ~Yoshiwara Collective #1.

TARAS BULBA - ONE
Taras Bulba was formed by Fred Laird and Jon Blacow. Taking a new direction from their last musical outfit Earthling Society, the duo embarked on an inner space mission for new age ideas, rhythmic mantras, ambient landscapes and creative micro dosing. Recorded on home recording equipment in different houses comes the album 'One'. The album is a pot-pouri of Eastern/Asian sounds, krautrock rhythms, ambient landscapes, psychedelic blues and Orb inspired dub. Taking influences from Midori Takada, Tony Scott, CAN, Neu!, 6 Organs of Admittance, The Orb and the soundtracks of David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti.

TARAS BULBA - SOMETIMES THE NIGHT
The third release from Fred Laird (Earthling Society) was recorded during the period June 2020 and January 2021 on 24trk home studio recording. It is also the first album recorded purely as a solo artist with the occasional guest and draws more from a roots style music (trad it isn't) than previous more psychedelic releases. 'Inspiration for the album came from listening to the self-recorded primal music of Hasil Adkins and the first solo Link Wray album for Polydor. The idea of these guys just doing what they wanted back of beyond seemed more akin to me sat in a box room during lockdown feeding off a diet of Billy Chong Kung Fu horror flicks, David Lynch, Noir crime movies, Jean Cocteau and the works of Yukio Mishima. Musically the sound draws form early Bad Seeds or Crime & The City Solution, Gallon Drunk, Bohren And Der Club Of Gore, The Cramps, Hasil Adkins and various other trash inspired twilight creatures. I also wanted to try and create that spooky organ sound that dominates the midnight movie classic 'Carnival Of Souls', so there's quite a lot of organ and piano going on. I also got my hands on a baritone guitar to give the songs more of a deep growly twang!
Vocals are provided by Daisy Atkinson for the Jean Cocteau dedication 'Orphee' which is the nearest thing to a pop song on the album and the echoey almost Sister Lover's sound of the title track. I got sick of my own shit voice and I just thought a female voice would give it a more fragile ethereal vibe. Mike Blatchford provides formidable saxophone to the album's last three tracks which were recorded on his mobile phone 300 miles away and synched into the music. The big blasted swing blues of 'The Big Duvall' is a dedication to Andy Duvall of Carlton Melton - a big guy who needed a big song. Who knows how big the song could have been in a proper studio. I could have dedicated it to John Wayne but Wayne couldn't chop down trees with his bare hands like Andy can...' Limited to 300 copies on black vinyl.

TARAS BULBA - SOUL WEAVER
Taras Bulba featuring ex-Earthling Society head Fred Laird return with their second album 'Soul Weaver'. 'Soul Weaver' was recorded between February and April of 2020. The album is a sharp contrast to the Taras Bulba debut. Whereas 'One' was a laid back psilocybic novelty travelogue, 'Soul Weaver' is more guitar driven dream like psychedelia, mixing '60s garage rock, shoegaze, bucolic west coast acid folk and ambient feedback.

THOUGHT BUBBLE - AROUND
Thought Bubble are an alt electronic duo, but whose music regularly veers into various noisy skronk fusion pigeonholes.
This collection of pieces will take listeners through some dark downtempo grooves - but then suddenly pound them with startling beats that will rattle furniture! Having spent the last decade or so as members of various psych and spacey fusion bands, on the psychedelic rock festival circuit, keyboardist Chris Cordwell and percussionist Nick Raybould had maintained Thought Bubble as their cherished side project. It's now time to bring it into the open. DJs and podcasters for psych and prog radio shows have already been drip feeding their audiences some of these tracks - steadily building up an appetite for something more tangible and tangerine.

AL DOUM & THE FARYDS - FREAKY PEOPLE
Al Doum and the Faryds continue their journey toward a New Direction. Now, they live in a futuristic Garden of Delights, inhabited by strange bright bubbles, golden wheels, water secrets and mysterious plants. From their home of Love & Nature, they set out to travel the Universe to forge a new Being together. Their typical blend of spiritual-jazz, psychedelia and Afro-Latin rock remains on the same wave, accentuating the collective rite of liberation and expansion of the spirit. There's certainly a greater lightness and airiness, expecially in the most immediate and direct arrangements to convey the message of brotherhood; because the absolute weapon lies in female voices and choirs. These chants are incisive gospel and soul sermons and their narration magically permeates throughout the album. Everything is always supported by the balance between robust and biting guitar riffs, raga-rock incursions, tribal rhythm sections and impregnable and captivating sax drifts; and echoes of the soft lysergic sound of the '60s cannot be missing. This is music of multiple forces, a sacred harmony to overcome barriers, which sees no enemies and breaks down egos. It's the playfulness and the power in making music together, the true magic recipe of these Freaky People: we are what the Universe wants!

AL DOUM & THE FARYDS - POSITIVE FORCE
Fusing together free jazz, psych, eastern and Indian influences, Al Doum And The Faryds create a mesmerizing mixture: the continuous, fluid sound of 'Positive Force' perfectly succeeds in expressing the parallel influences of ecstatic eastern/African sound and of the contemporary free, energetic, spirited sound, with a nice jagged, if not toxic guitar phrasing. "This fucking righteously Out There declaration comes on like a lobotomized Xhol Caravan meets Shivas Tongue meets one of those low low grade reggae recording bands like Ras Michael & the Sons of Negus, all jamming-ah on the 100 Fahrenheit obsidian-strewn plains of Southern Sardinia.

MR. PETER HAYDEN - ARCHDIMENSION NOW (2CD)
Basically this is spacerock with blends of doom and stoner in the end making it psychedelic hard rock. Unique blend everevolving freely inbetween the genres. Mr. Peter Hayden have gone through phases and planes of inevitable and come across the final chapter of trilogy - a double album entitled 'Archdimension Now'. 'Archdimension Now' takes one through the last phase of reaching the ultimate - the Archdimension. It's a wide, multidimensional spectrum of sound, space and more. A piece combining field recordings, contemplating ambiences and droned-out sounds to a singular woven piece of music, clocking over two hours in its own predestined catharsis.

VARIOUS - LE BEAT BESPOKE, VOL. 1
Initially released in May 2004, this made to measure album offers an insight into London club promoters the New Untouchables. It highlights DJ Rob Bailey's inspired track selection and ability to move seamlessly from one musical style to the next. All, naturally, done with restraint and good taste, but at the same time, compelling the listener to groove along with it all. Made up from a diverse collection of tracks - club sounds, hip 60's newies and old Mod scene fave raves. Add to these, two unique Bailey re-mixes on "Sexologie" and "Du Hast Mich/Glory Be", and you really have something special. Le Beat Bespok offers the listener a perfectly tailored playlist that captures that magical and mysterious side of the decade better known as the Swinging Sixties!
'For what very well may be the first major compilation of the post-freakbeat haze from which we have hopefully emerged, Brian Poust finds Le Beat Bespoke more smart than swirly... for the most part...Le Beat Bespoke compiles 25 tracks of primarily English and European origin, which, as the title implies, are hand picked and well-suited amongst each other. Early opinion collected through underground reconnaissance suggests many of these tracks are well worn around the London club scene and have run their course.' (-The Uppers Organization)

BACKGROUNDS/THE NAIVES - DAY BREAKS AT DAWN/NO ONE BUT YOU
The Backgrounds' 'Day Breaks At Dawn' originally came out in February 1967 on the funk/soul label Cenco. No one has ever been able to find any information about the band or any photos. Original copies would cost you 1200 euro if you could find one! The master tapes do not exist and this recording has been taken from a mint copy and then sent to a studio to be mastered. It sounds great, no background hiss etc. On the flip there's a song called 'No One But You' by a contemporary band called The Naives, who actually are not a real band, but are one of many fictional bands made up by a young French teenager (19) called Achille Brunet. He has made lots of lo-fi garage/psych/rockabilly songs all by himself and is also a filmmaker. The sleeve comes in 5 different colours and includes inserts/postcards. Limited to 500 copies.

CATHOLIC SPRAY/ASSASINS88/TV COLOURS - SPLIT 7"
At times CATHOLIC SPRAY is as savage as a charging T.Rex and as doomed as a dying succubus, but they always keep their Jack the Ripper lancet sharp fuzz guitar sound at hand. Nonetheless, it is challenging to try and recite the composing elements of such a sound nebula. From bad KFC lunch memory fueled balads to the wailing laments of a disarrayed gallant, these four boys surf on grimy waters. ASSASSINS88/TV COLOURS is one part noise, two parts punk, and one part pop. Assassins88 and TV Colours come from Canberra, Australia. The meeting of these two bands is as much of a kickass gutterpunk noise band as it stands for gloriously nostalgic pop punk. Limited edition of 500.

DOGS/THORNS - DON'T TRY TO HELP ME/I WANT YOU
You want obscure? Here we go! The Dogs issued just one 45 on the Philadelphia-based Treasure label in 1967, and that's about all we know!! No photographs or confirmed band members have come to light, so all we have is the music, written by label owner John Bowie, but WHAT a side! With its insistent guitar refrain and squawking sax, the track was first brought to wider attention way back in 1983 when it was comped on 'The Return Of The Young Pennsylvanians,' alongside other killers from Flowerz, The Shaynes and Loose Enz. As you could probably guess, the original 45 is now VERY rare... good condition copies have fetched $3,500 on the collectors market!! Thankfully, Hyperloop have once again come to the rescue by reissuing that vital 45, potentially introducing the band to a whole new audience! The Thorns we know a little more about. Again based in Philadelphia, they started out as an instrumental combo, The Delairs, in 1963. That all changed in 1964 with the onslaught of the British Invasion, and the band were quick to update their sound and image, marking it with a change of name to The Thorns. Around late '65/early '66 they entered Sound Plus Studios to cut 'I Want You' and 'This Is The End,' with 5 acetates being produced, one for each band member.
The Thorns eventually fell apart, but members Steve Sykes and David Ciccitelli hooked up with brothers Nick and Tony Jameson to form The Finestuff, who re-recorded 'I Want You' alongside Nick's 'Big Brother,' both of which were released on the Ra-Sel label in 1967. Offered here is an alternate version of that original Thorns recording, taken from the original master tape!
Comes with printed inner sleeve, 7" insert + bookmark and jukebox title strip. Limited to 600 copies.

Limited edition of 250 copies on 160-gram black vinyl, presented in a poly bag and including an illustrated, hand-numbered booklet and digital download. Catapult The Dead hails from the bleak and fearsome depths of the East Bay Tarpits. Their album 'All Is Sorrow' is a keyboard and organ-driven doom metal affair, something you do not normally witness in the world of doom, normally centered on loud and monolithic guitars and crushing drums. It's Gothic and almost baroque and has set the band completely apart from the rest when it comes to atmospheric sludge metal and post-HC. - CVLTNATION. 'All Is Sorrow' is one 37-minute opus, intended to be listened to without any interruptions.

MAKE - THE GOLDEN VEIL
It has been over three years since North Carolina's connoisseurs of fine doom/metal/prog/psych MAKE delivered a statement of intent with their debut record Trephine blowing all expectations and hopes away with immense destructive doom metal that shook the earths crust. Now with their follow up full length, the three-piece have taken all of the metal infused demonic riffs, deathly vocals, and utterly sublime post-metal glacial sound-scapes, and crafted them into a thing of eternal beauty. 'The Golden Veil' opens with the gloriously titled 'I Was Sitting Quietly, Peeling Back My Skin' which menacingly awakens the record into life as it plays on a collection of distorted sounds and alien motions before parting to acoustically lead you towards the death chant of the gut-wrenchingly heavy Breathe in all of its layered percussion-led, death vocals, guitar-crushing savagery. The tracks highlights how MAKE have grown as a band and become an all round heavier beast, at times suffocatingly so, but then their beauty shows in a track such as the gentle psychedelic progressive The Immortal with stunning clean vocals swaying in the wind. Comparisons are understandably drawn with the likes of Isis, but MAKE arent copyists; theyve taken their post-metal sound and created a very concise record, turning drawn out meandering numbers into shorter songs, enhancing their impact, turning up the brutality, and the beauty that lies within..

Last copies. Featuring remastered audio and revamped artwork, Ogre's fourth album of instantly recognizable doom infected '70s-style hard rock is now available in all its analogue glory. As the studio album was too long for a single vinyl platter, at least without skimping on sound quality, it made sense to house the band's lively rendition of 'Soulless Woman' on a bonus single. For the flip the Seattle-based band opted to pay homage to The Bags with an exclusive take on 'Naked Lady', which was a favourite of the members back in the early '90s.

JONES, SAMANTHA - A GIRL NAMED SAM
Born Samantha Owens in Liverpool, Jones began her recording career in The Vernon Girls, a female singing group affiliated with the Vernon Football Pools company; they created a popular Beatles tribute album in 1964 with producer Charles Blackwell, who launched Jones's solo career that same year. Blackwell producer a debut solo LP for Ascot in 1968; two years later, Larry Page released sophomore set 'A Girl Named Sam', with Austrian wunderkind Mark Wirtz casting her in the broad realm of pop, though most of the songs describe romantic failures. The album thus has a tongue-in-cheek cover of Burt Bacharach's 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again' and credible renditions of Aretha's 'You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman' and Jackie DeShannon's 'Put A Little Love In Your Heart'. Includes one bonus track. 180 gram, green vinyl.

BITORI - LEGEND OF FUNANA
Reissue of a 1997 masterpiece which many Cabo Verdeans consider to be the best Funaná album ever made. It was recorded by a 59-year old accordion player named Victor Tavares, better know as Bitori. Halfway the 20th century Funaná was the most popular Cabo Verdean music style. However, since this music was strongly connected to the struggle for Cape Verdean independence, it was prohibited by the Portuguese colonial rulers, which is why Funaná seemed to have disappeared in the '60s and early '70s. However, after Cabo Verde achieved independence in '75, this type of music met with a revival, leading to several recordings of which this collection is the undisputed pinacle.

DJEDJE, ERNESTO - ROI DU ZIGLIBITHY
The star of Ernesto Djédjé started rising in the late '60s, when he became the guitar player and leader of Ivoiro Star, founded by Amédée Pierre, star of Dopé, the leading musical style at the time. Annoyed by the "congolisation" of the Ivorian music that was taking place within the band, Ernesto left the group and emigrated to Paris in 1968 to record his first few singles arranged by Manu Dibango and influenced by soul, rhythm & blues and jerk. Those recordings reflect the musical mood at that time which was dictated by two musical trends within the Ivoirian scene: Traditional music, embodied amongst others by Amédée Pierre on one hand and imported music
from the States, Cameroon and Zaïre on the other. And while the first trend was generally neglected, the youth fully embraced the second and as a result bands such as Les Black Devils, Djinn-Music, Bozambo or Jimmy Hyacinthe shot to stardom overnight by recording mainly funk and disco music. It is within this context that Ernesto would draw the inspiration for a future formula. Returning to Côte d'Ivoire in 1974 Ernesto began looking for like minded musicians to form the mighty 'Ziglibithiens. Diabo Steck (drums), Bamba Yang (keyboards and guitar), Léon Sina (guitar) and Assalé Best (chef d'orchestre and saxophone) would become the core of the group and together with Ernesto they began thinking of ways of combining the rhythms and chants of the Bété people and fuse them with makossa, funk and disco and create a musical style that was both Ivorian and international. He called his experiment Ziglibithy and his first two albums, immortalised at the EMI studios in 1977 in Lagos and released on the Badmos label, took West Africa by storm turning Ernesto Djédjé into an icon overnight and one of the legends of African music. Ernesto Djédjé died in mysterious circumstances on June 9th, 1983 -at the age of 35- shocking the whole Ivorian nation. And although the end came abruptly, it didn't come soon enough, and Ernesto had time -within 5 albums- to cement his legacy as one of the most innovative artists the Ivory Coast ever produced. The song 'Zighlibitiens,' brought to Colombia by an aeronautical mechanic in the early 1980s, would become a huge hit on the Caribbean Coast. Renamed "El Tigre" by local soundsystem operators -certainly due to the Badmos logo- that particular song would reach legendary status in Barranquilla and Cartagena. Setting fire to uncountable local parties, it has become one of the most sought-after albums in that part of the world. And so, while Ziglibithy has mostly disappeared from the airwaves of its country of birth, on the other side of the Atlantic, its fire continues to shine bright.

GOOD SAMARITANS - NO FOOD WITHOUT TASTE IF BY HUNGER
Put your dancing shoes and be ready to kill the dancefloor, the intoxicating highlife music known as Edo Funk from
Benin City, Nigeria is back. Following the planetary success of Analog Africa's 'Edo Funk Explosion Vol. 1' project they have now unearthed 'No Food Without Taste If By Hunger' by The Good Samaritans, one of the most obscure Nigerian album ever recorded. Originally released in 1982, the band's first album is full of bouncy basslines, raw trance-like grooves and tripped-out psychedelic guitars, a funk experience unlike any other. The Good Samaritans is Philosopher Okundaye's own Edo Funk project, under which name he produced four albums, all recorded at Phonodisk Studio in Ijebu-Igbo, east of Lagos with a 24 track. Okundaye, who played many instruments, engaged the right musicians for each project and mixed the whole thing himself, is known as the composer of a large part of Benin City's celebrated hits in the '80s. His name keeps popping up but somehow his role in the scene remains a bit hazy, giving the character an image of something like the gray eminence of Edo Funk. 'No Food Without Taste If By Hunger' comes as a limited edition LP with a silk-screen printed cover on 180gr orange vinyl pressed. The download from Bandcamp also includes
unlimited streaming of 'No Food Without Taste If By Hunger'
via the free Bandcamp app along with high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

HALLELUJAH CHICKEN RUN BAND - TAKE ONE
Now also on vinyl! Great compilation from this band from Zimbabwe, which was called Rhodesia when the songs were recorded there between 1974 and 1979. This band was originally set up to entertain the workers at the Mangura copper mine. A must for fans of southern African music, and a great insight into the early career of Thomas Mapfumo, who was with them for most of their first year. A mix of Afro-rock, rumba, cha-cha-cha and soul covers. This is the band that modernised Zimbabwean music, and by doing so revolutionised the music industry in their country. Remastered by Nick Robbins. Originally released in 2006 on CD only.

KEITA, LEON - LEON KEITA
"Midway through the Mandingue groove inferno that is 'Dakan Sate, Korotoumi' I knew I had found a gem. Hypnotic guitar solos, heavy bass riffs, psychedelic organ lines, and funky horns... what more could you want? That was in 2006. I was in Bobo Dioulasso, the second largest city in Burkina Faso and one of its major centres of Mandingue culture. Here the sounds of nearby Mali and Guinea had fused with local styles, giving birth to a rich musical scene: bands such as Bembeya Jazz, Super Djata Band and other Mandingue giants were among
the best-sellers of the region, and record dealers had once imported them in great quantities from distributors in
Abidjan or Cotonou, the cities where most local artists had their LPs manufactured. Within a week, I was able to
find most of Leon Keïta's output... and listening to his tunes in this part of the world was as natural as breathing
the mild Saharan air at dawn! A fixture on the Malian music scene, Leon Keïta was born in Conakry on the Atlantic coast of Guinea in 1947. After completing his studies he found his way to the Malian capital where, in addition to founding the Piano Jazz Orchestra, he worked as a teacher, organiser of cultural festivals, and accountant for the National Tobacco and Match company. During this time he also wrote reports for the Malian President Modibo Keita, and at the end of meetings he would sometimes entertain the delegates with a song or two. In 1970, alongside his close friend Manfila Keita, Leon helped to found the legendary Rail-Band, which became a celebrated mainstay of Bamako's nightlife and launched the international careers of Salif Keita, Mory Kanté and many others. Leon himself went on to join Les Ambassadeurs Internationaux, with whom he toured throughout West Africa, before departing to work on his own compositions. When Leon was ready to visit the recording studio he invited his friends from Les Ambassadeurs Internationaux
to serve as his backing band; the collaboration yielded two records, both released in 1978 on the Papa Disco label. A year later Leon released 'Rythmes Et Mélodies Du Mali,' co-written with his brother Germain and backed by the magnificent Orchestre Black Santiago; featuring infectious trumpet from band-leader Ignace de Souza, the LP was recorded in Benin at the Satel Studio in Cotonou. Although Leon didn't make many solo recordings, his songs continue to inspire the reverence of anyone fortunate enough to have heard them. In recent years the song 'Dalaka' was rediscovered by Barranquilla's sound system
operator Carlos Estrada and became an unexpected hit on the caribbean coast of Colombia. Twelve years after the release of the critically-acclaimed 'Bambara Mystic Soul' compilation, this new compilation takes another deep-dive into Mandingue culture with five rare sides recorded during Leon Keïta's fabled late '70s sessions." The LP, pressed on 180g virgin vinyl and housed in a beautiful jacket screen-printed in Greece, is limited to 2000 copies worldwide.

MIGHTY CAVALIERS - MAPENDO
"The 'Mapendo' album of the Mighty Cavaliers, up to today, has been shrouded in mystery. Why is that, you can find nearly nothing about this album and the band. The only song which is maybe well known in the collectors scene is 'Dunia Ina Mambo' from their first release out of 1976. So it was more or less a surprise to get hy Hands on the original in January 2023 directly from Kenya. I've never seen such a hypnotically good cover and what do could I expect from the record? Cleaned the record from all the dirt and put it on the player. That has to be the first Want Some release! There is no other way. Up from the first song till the last it is an outstanding record. So many influences and power came out of the speakers. Great guitar work, funky, bluesy notes in some songs and typically African roots. We were blown away. From that point I started working on that album. Our mission is to tell the story of the band and spread these great tunes into the world. I hired Michiel van Oosterhout, a journalist who is living in Uganda, who wrote a book about Ugandan music and has good connections into the east African music scene. He began digging deep, made calls, wrote e-mails etc. and at the end he wrote the true story about the The Mighty Cavaliers which you can find in the gatefold." ~Want Some Records. This album is dedicated to the musicians Bonnie Wanda, Rashid Salim, Vuli Yeni, Juma Waweru Njuguna and Athmani 'Guitar Boy.'

MOVERS - VOL. 1 - 1970-1976
"It's a special, but also a strange sensation to be releasing an album of one of your early musical heroes. I first discovered The Movers on my very first "record safari" in 1996. My destination was Bulawayo, in southern Zimbabwe, and to get there I had to travel via Jo'burg. While in town I stopped at a store called Kohinoor, in search of Mbaqanga - also known as Township Jive - and found a few tapes which I listened to non-stop on the bus that carried me to the land of Chimurenga Music. One of these cassettes included the songs 'Hot Coffee' and 'Phukeng Special' which instantly became part of my daily life. Twenty-five years later I'm still grooving to them. What I didn't know at that time was that The Movers were hugely successful during the 1970s; so when it came time to release some of their music, I thought it was going to be "a walk in the park" to track down information about them and write their biography. I was in for a rude awakening. Despite their legendary status, there was almost no information available on band or any of its members. Fortunately Nicky Blumenfeld from Kaya Radio came to the rescue. A few days after I reached out to her, she had managed to get the phone number of Kenneth Siphayi, who is considered to be the founder of the band, as well as vocalist Blondie Makhene and saxophonist Lulu Masilela. Although we left no stone unturned, we were unable to find any of the four original members who seem to have passed away in total anonymity. The story of The Movers began in 1967 when two unknown musicians - the brothers Norman and Oupa Hlongwane - approached Kenneth Siphayi, a stylish and wealthy businessman from the Alexandra township, to ask if he could buy them musical instruments. In return he would receive a cut from future live shows and record deals. Kenneth, ended up doing much more, becoming their manager, setting them up in a rehearsal space, and introducing them to an organist who would prove to be the missing link in the band's skeletal sound. He also gave them their name: The Movers... because, as he said, their music was going to move you, whether you liked it or not.
The band exploded onto the country's racially-segregated music scene at the dawn of the 1970s with a sound that applied the rolling organ grooves and elastic rhythms of American soul to songs that came straight from the heart of the townships. Rumours of the band started to spread throughout the country and soon the record labels were sending their talent scouts to the Alexandra township to hear it for themselves. The Movers finally signed to Teal Records in 1969, and their first album, 'Crying Guitar,' went on to sell 500,000 copies within the first three months, launching them into the front rank of South African bands. In their first year they went from local sensations to being the first band of black South Africans to have their music cross over to the country's white radio stations. Although the first record was entirely instrumental, The Movers started working with different singers soon after - scoring an early hit with 14 year old vocal prodigy Blondie Makhene - and enriched their sonic palette with horns, extra percussion and various keyboards. Their stylistic range also expanded, incorporating elements of Marabi, Mbaqanga, jazz, funk, and reggae into their soul-steeped sound. But the essence of their music came from the almost telepathic connection of its founding members: the simmering organ of Sankie Chounyane, the laid-back guitar lines of Oupa Hlongwane, the energetic bass grooves of Norman Hlongwane and the simmering rhythms of drummer of Sam Thabo. The band reached their apex in the mid-1970s, and their hit 'Soweto Inn,' sung by Sophie Thapedi, became inseparable from the student revolts that signalled a new resistance to the apartheid government. In 1976, however, their manager was forced out, and their producer started to play a more active role in the band's direction. By the end of the decade there were no original members left. But at their height The Movers were titans of South African soul who left a legacy of over a dozen albums and countless singles of pure groove. On 'The Movers Vol. 1 - 1970-1976,' Analog Africa presents 14 of the finest tracks from the band's undisputed peak.

ORCHESTRE ABASS - ORCHESTRE ABASS (DE BASSARI TOGO)
In 1972, Orchestre Abass released two incredible singles on Polydor. These records -featuring 'Shamarin Banza', 'Haka Dunia' and other Afro-funk masterpieces- were powerful enough to knock any music head out, but it wasn't until the discovery of some unreleased material by the band that the seeds for this project were planted. With their heavy, organ-led sound combining with the deftest of musical touches, these records were the work of a rhythmic powerhouse and Analog Africa are honoured to be in a position to present the recordings of Togo's funkiest band. All the music was licensed directly from the various composers of these songs.

SANCHES, ANTONIO - BULI POVO!
RSD 2018 release. Reissue of this sought after Cape Verdian funaná album from 1983. Funaná,the most African of music styles from Cabo Verde had been banned by the Portuguese rulers, but in 1974, with independence and the birth of the Bulimundo band, everything changed. Their leader, guitarist Katchás, believing it was time for a new approach, decided to dig deep into the ancient rural roots of funaná and modernise it with a full band electrified setting. The idea gave birth to a whole new chapter in the already rich Cape Verdean musical landscape.ÿA group of equally adventurous and talented young musicians with a renewed sense of pride spread across the cities of Lisbon, Paris and Rotterdam followed the path and with the help of out of space synthesizers, electric guitar pedals and all kinds of studio effects, created their own renditions of funaná music.ÿ
One of these musicians was António Sanches who recorded 'Buli Povo!', the strangest and yet most fascinating funaná recording to emerge from this period. Recorded in Lisbon with the legendary Voz de Cabo Verde in 1983, the album is a synth-drenched journey to the outer limits of Cabo Verdean popular music, which had remained off the musical radar until now. It was only in recent years, as interest in vintage Cabo Verdian music started to grow, that rumours began to circulate about the strange brilliance of his synth-driven journey into the heart of funaná.ÿImpossible to find for many years, the sound of 'Buli Povo!' is just as arresting and mesmerising today as it was on the day it was released.

TOURE, AMARA - 1973-1980 (2LP)
This Analog Africa compilation of Amara Touré, the enigmatic Afro-Cuban musician from Guinea-Conakry, contains all of the 10 songs he released between 1973 and 1980. "Latin music, is it really foreign to us Africans? I don't think so. Listen to the drums, to the rhythm. It all seems very close to us - it feels like its our own culture," declared enigmatic singer Amara Touré. It is the late '50s, and Senegal is going crazy to the groove of Son Montuno and Patchanga. Brought to West Africa by Cuban sailors in the early '40s, these styles were immediately adopted by a flourishing music scene that did not hesitate to embrace the Caribbean sound, mixed it with their own folklore, and, in the process, created something new. Through the unique cultural fusion of West African and Caribbean influences, Latin music took on a new and unique sound - the format was reinvented.

VARIOUS - ANGOLA SOUNDTRACK 2 (2LP)
Repress. 'HYPNOSIS, DISTORTIONS & OTHER SONIC INNOVATIONS 1969-1978' - Upon reading the characteristically generous liner notes of this new Analog Africa release, you will be given more hints of the crucial melting pot that allowed this short period to have such an outstanding productivity. Featuring 44 pages acquired in coordination with the National Library of Luanda and the art magazine 'Note E Dia,' Analog Africa head honcho Samy Ben Redjeb has managed to collect newspaper clips, extremely rare pictures of the bands on stage and printed interviews from the '70s. The stunning pages of passionate photography and artistic design also include interviews with many of the original artists and their families, biographies of the three labels that made it all possible, and of Luis Montês, who was the pulse of the live music scene in Luanda. This compilation is a dedication to the short lived recording industry in Angola, a relatively brief period in history (between 1969 and 1978) during which three recording companies produced approximately 800 records, mostly singles. These are rare jewels, each song with a significant story and feel. You will hear exciting music blazed with the anticipation of emancipation, tracks fuelled with a sense of unity, community, importance and immediacy. This addictive, outlawed music from Angola shakes and grooves with the smoothness of staccato machine gun.

VARIOUS - EDO FUNK EXPLOSION, VOL. 1 (2LP)
"The skeletal composition and the relentless exploitation of synthesizers, electric guitars and '80s effect racks resulted in a spiced up psychedelic brew known as Edo Funk!" It was in Benin City, in the heart of Nigeria, that a new hybrid of intoxicating highlife music known as Edo Funk was born. It first emerged in the late 1970s when a group of musicians began to experiment with different ways of integrating elements from their native Edo culture and fusing them with new sound effects coming from West Africa's night-clubs. Unlike the rather polished 1980s Nigerian disco productions coming out of the international metropolis of Lagos, Edo Funk was raw and reduced to its bare minimum. Someone was needed to channel this energy into a distinctive sound and Sir Victor Uwaifo appeared like a mad professor with his Joromi studio. Uwaifo took the skeletal structure of Edo music and relentless began fusing them with synthesizers, electric guitars and '80s effect racks which resulted in some of the most outstanding Edo recordings ever made. An explosive spiced up brew with an odd psychedelic note dubbed "Edo Funk". That's the sound you'll be discovering in the first volume of the 'Edo Funk Explosion' series which focusses on the genre's greatest originators: Osayomore Joseph, Akaba Man, and Sir Victor Uwaifo. Osayomore Joseph was one of the first musicians to bring the sound of the flute into the horn-dominated world of highlife, and his skills as a performer made him a fixture on the Lagos scene. When he returned to settle in Benin City in the mid 1970s - at the invitation of the royal family - he devoted himself to the modernisation and electrification of Edo music, using funk and Afro-beat as the building blocks for songs that weren't afraid to call out government corruption or confront the dark legacy of Nigeria's colonial past. Akaba Man was the philosopher king of Edo funk. Less overtly political than Osayomore Joseph and less psychedelic than Victor Uwaifo, he found the perfect medium for his message in the trance-like grooves of Edo funk. With pulsating rhythms awash in cosmic synth-fields and lyrics that express a deep personal vision, he found great success at the dawn of the 1980s as one of Benin City's most persuasive ambassadors of funky highlife. Victor Uwaifo was already a star in Nigeria when he built the legendary Joromi studios in his hometown of Benin City in 1978. Using his unique guitar style as the mediating force between West-African highlife and the traditional rhythms and melodies of Edo music, he had scored several hits in the early seventies, but once he had his own sixteen-track facility he was able to pursue his obsession with the synesthetic possibilities of pure sound, adding squelchy synths, swirling organs and studio effects to hypnotic basslines and raw grooves. Between his own records and his production for other musicians, he quickly established himself as the godfather of Edo funk.

VARIOUS - ESSIEBONS SPECIAL 1973-1984 (2LP)
Dick Essilfie-Bondzie was all ready for his 90th birthday party when the Covid pandemic hit. The legendary producer, businessman and founder of Ghana's mighty Essiebons label had invited all his family and friends to the event and it was the disappointment at having to postpone that prompted Analog Africa founder Samy Ben Redjeb to propose a new compilation celebrating his contributions to the world of West African music. For most of the 1970s Essilfie-Bondzie's Dix and Essiebons labels were synonymous with the best in modern highlife, and his roster was a who's-who of highlife legends. C.K. Mann, Gyedu Blay Ambolley, Kofi Papa Yankson, Ernest Honny, Rob 'Roy' Raindorf and Ebo Taylor all released some of their greatest music under the Essiebons banner. Yet Essilfie-Bondzie had been destined for a very different career. Born in Apam and raised in Accra, he was sent to business school in London at the age of 20, and returned to the security of a government job in Ghana. But his passion for music, inspired by the sounds of Accra's highlife scene, had never left him, and in 1967 he figured out a way of combining music and business by opening West Africa's first record pressing plant. The venture, a partnership with the Philips label, was a huge success, attracting business from all over the continent. By the early 1970s Essilfie-Bondzie had left his government job to concentrate on his labels, and by the mid-seventies he was on a hot streak injecting album after album of restless highlife into the bloodstream of the Ghanaian music scene.
'Essiebons Special' features a selection of obscure workouts from some of the label's heaviest hitters. But in the course of digitising his vast archive of master tapes, Essilfie-Bondzie found a number of Afrobeat and instrumental masterpieces the label's mid-'70s golden age that, for one reason or another, had never been released. Those songs are included here for the first time. Sadly Essilfie-Bondzie passed away before the compilation was finished. But his legacy lives on in the extraordinary music that he gave to the world in his lifetime.

VARIOUS - POP MAKOSSA (2LP)
Repress! 'THE INVASIVE DANCE BEAT OF CAMEROON 1976-1984' - An explosive compilation highlighting the era when funk and disco sounds began to infiltrate Cameroon's Makossa style. The beat that holds everything together originate's from the Sawa people's rhythms. When these rhythms collided with merengue, high-life, Congolese rumba, and, later, funk and disco, modern Makossa was born. Makossa, the beat that long before football, managed to unify the whole of Cameroon. Some of the greatest Makossa hits incorporated the electrifying guitars and tight grooves of funk, while others were laced with cosmic synth flourishes. However, most of this music's vibe came down to the bass, and 'Pop Makossa' demonstrates why many Cameroonian bass players are among the most revered in the world.

VERCKYS & L'ORCHESTRE VEVE - CONGOLESE FUNK, AFROBEAT AND PSYCHEDELIC RUMB
Repress! 'CONGOLESE FUNK, AFROBEAT AND PSYCHEDELIC RUMBA 1969-1978' - Wonderful and exciting sounds from Kinshasa's turbulent '70s dancefloors and nightclubs, the epicenter of the Congolese Rumba craze. Encouraged by the fantastic productions of the Ngoma label, vibrant radio waves had been spreading the Congo sound from Leopoldville all over the continent, becoming the country's No.1 export. One of the most important musicians in this movement was Verckys. Following his stint with the group Franco's O.K. Jazz, in the late '60s, he founded Orchestre Vévé with the aim of reinventing and modernising the Congolese sound. Blending the ever influential prowess of James Brown with Congolese merengue, rumba and soukous, Verckys stripped away the conventional approach that O.K. Jazz had pioneered, allowing his saxophone-laced melodies to dominate. This exciting release, here on double-LP, compiles highlights from recorded history of Verckys & L'Orchestre Vévé, spanning the period 1969-1978.

ZENE'T PANON - MALOYA MALBAR
Tamil rhythms recorded by the river in the lush greenery of eastern Réunion. The B-side features reworks by Jako Maron, EMB, Boogzbrown, Aleksand Saya and Loya. Zène'T Panon's music is unique even within the musical microcosm of Réunion Island. On the eastern coast, the most humid and verdant part of the island, the group imbues their version of maloya (a music genre from Réunion Island) with Tamil rhythms and melodies. JuJu Sounds' recording session on the banks of the Rivière des Marsouins, deep among the lush vegetation, featured the hypnotic sounds of Tamil instruments: the morlon, tarlon and malbar drums. That lazy day by the river with the entire Zène'T Panon family contrasted sharply with the group's explosive energy during their usual recordings. Besides their Tamil influences, the group are distinguished by their creative capacity for new rhythms and the energy that they deploy. The perfect harmony playing out between the musicians meant the material could be recorded outdoors in a single evening with practically no retakes, which was a blessing as a tropical rainstorm broke just minutes after the session ended.
This album is not just another nicely packaged world music artefact. Nor is it an academic attempt to archive Afro-Malagasy and Tamil heritage. Firstly, we don't recognise the concept of 'traditional music.' As with all concepts, of course, it serves a purpose. But music cultures have never been something fixed in time and space, something that can describe a permanent identity - on the contrary, they have always been rather fluid. The fixed, permanent trope is the domain of politics and institutional religion. Nowhere can this fluidity be observed better than in Creole cultures worldwide. Already a blend of African, Malagasy, Tamil and European influences, maloya is now in the process of yet another transformation. This album is a bridge between the old-school, instrumental maloya and the thriving electro maloya scene. Played at private kabaré ceremonies by well-respected gramouns, maloya has been at the heart of Reunionese culture for generations. Can the kabaré - steeped in spiritualism, devotion and magic - become digital? Can a new form of maloya be a vehicle for the complexity of local social contexts? These questions are not unknown to the artists of new wave electro maloya. With this album, Jako Marron, EMB, Boogzbrown, Aleksand Saya and Loya strive to provide the answers. Comes on clear orange vinyl.

Habibi Funk's 13th release is from Sharhabil Ahmed, the actual King of Sudanese Jazz (he actually won that title in a competition in the early 1970s). Sonically it sounds very different from what jazz is understood to sound like outside of Sudan. It's an incredible unique mix of rock'n'roll, funk, surf, traditional Sudanese music and influences from Congolese sounds.

BITORI - LEGEND OF FUNANA
Reissue of a 1997 masterpiece which many Cabo Verdeans
consider to be the best Funaná album ever made. It was recorded by a 59-year old accordion player named Victor Tavares, better know as Bitori. Halfway the 20th century Funaná was the most popular Cabo Verdean music style. However, since this music was strongly connected to the struggle for Cape Verdean independence, it was prohibited by the Portuguese colonial rulers, which is why Funaná seemed to have disappeared in the '60s and early '70s. However, after Cabo Verde achieved independence in '75, this type of music met with a revival, leading to several recordings of which this collection is the pinacle.

HALLELUJAH CHICKEN RUN BAND - TAKE ONE
Reissue! Great compilation from this band from Zimbabwe, which was called Rhodesia when the songs were recorded there between 1974 and 1979. This band was originally set up to entertain the workers at the Mangura copper mine. A must for fans of southern African music, and a great insight into the early career of Thomas Mapfumo, who was with them for most of their first year. A mix of Afro-rock, rumba, cha-cha-cha and soul covers. This is the band that modernised Zimbabwean music, and by doing so revolutionised the music industry in their country. Remastered by Nick Robbins. Originally released in 2006.

MOVERS - VOL. 1 - 1970-1976
"It's a special, but also a strange sensation to be releasing an album of one of your early musical heroes. I first discovered The Movers on my very first "record safari" in 1996. My destination was Bulawayo, in southern Zimbabwe, and to get there I had to travel via Jo'burg. While in town I stopped at a store called Kohinoor, in search of Mbaqanga - also known as Township Jive - and found a few tapes which I listened to non-stop on the bus that carried me to the land of Chimurenga Music. One of these cassettes included the songs 'Hot Coffee' and 'Phukeng Special' which instantly became part of my daily life. Twenty-five years later I'm still grooving to them. What I didn't know at that time was that The Movers were hugely successful during the 1970s; so when it came time to release some of their music, I thought it was going to be "a walk in the park" to track down information about them and write their biography. I was in for a rude awakening. Despite their legendary status, there was almost no information available on band or any of its members. Fortunately Nicky Blumenfeld from Kaya Radio came to the rescue. A few days after I reached out to her, she had managed to get the phone number of Kenneth Siphayi, who is considered to be the founder of the band, as well as vocalist Blondie Makhene and saxophonist Lulu Masilela. Although we left no stone unturned, we were unable to find any of the four original members who seem to have passed away in total anonymity. The story of The Movers began in 1967 when two unknown musicians - the brothers Norman and Oupa Hlongwane - approached Kenneth Siphayi, a stylish and wealthy businessman from the Alexandra township, to ask if he could buy them musical instruments. In return he would receive a cut from future live shows and record deals. Kenneth, ended up doing much more, becoming their manager, setting them up in a rehearsal space, and introducing them to an organist who would prove to be the missing link in the band's skeletal sound. He also gave them their name: The Movers... because, as he said, their music was going to move you, whether you liked it or not.
The band exploded onto the country's racially-segregated music scene at the dawn of the 1970s with a sound that applied the rolling organ grooves and elastic rhythms of American soul to songs that came straight from the heart of the townships. Rumours of the band started to spread throughout the country and soon the record labels were sending their talent scouts to the Alexandra township to hear it for themselves. The Movers finally signed to Teal Records in 1969, and their first album, 'Crying Guitar,' went on to sell 500,000 copies within the first three months, launching them into the front rank of South African bands. In their first year they went from local sensations to being the first band of black South Africans to have their music cross over to the country's white radio stations. Although the first record was entirely instrumental, The Movers started working with different singers soon after - scoring an early hit with 14 year old vocal prodigy Blondie Makhene - and enriched their sonic palette with horns, extra percussion and various keyboards. Their stylistic range also expanded, incorporating elements of Marabi, Mbaqanga, jazz, funk, and reggae into their soul-steeped sound. But the essence of their music came from the almost telepathic connection of its founding members: the simmering organ of Sankie Chounyane, the laid-back guitar lines of Oupa Hlongwane, the energetic bass grooves of Norman Hlongwane and the simmering rhythms of drummer of Sam Thabo. The band reached their apex in the mid-1970s, and their hit 'Soweto Inn,' sung by Sophie Thapedi, became inseparable from the student revolts that signalled a new resistance to the apartheid government. In 1976, however, their manager was forced out, and their producer started to play a more active role in the band's direction. By the end of the decade there were no original members left. But at their height The Movers were titans of South African soul who left a legacy of over a dozen albums and countless singles of pure groove. On 'The Movers Vol. 1 - 1970-1976,' Analog Africa presents 14 of the finest tracks from the band's undisputed peak.

ORCHESTRE POLY-RYTHMO DE COTONOU - VOL. 3: THE SKELETAL ESSENCES OF AFRO FUNK
CD with 44-page booklet. Take funk, soul, psychedelia and rumba, mix it up with a thick dose of heavy local rhythms and throw everything in a Benin grinder. The brew is then mixed up with hypnotic Farfisa solos, gritty guitar riffs, distorted bass lines, warm horns and the result, of exorcizing proportion, will lead to frenetic body movements. Some people bang their heads, others jerk their feet or feel an urgent need to get up and start shaking their hips. One thing is common though, to everyone who submits their ears to a spinning record by the mighty Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou: you simply can't stand still. And this new compilation is proof of that. Here are 14 funky tracks by the legendary ensemble from Benin that has been deemed as "West-Africa's best kept secret," or as the "The D.N.A. of voodoo groove". Following two previous Poly-Rythmo collections released by multiple award winner label Analog Africa - 'The Vodoun Effect' (2008) and 'Echos Hypnotiques' (2009) - this third compilation is another proof that our ears are facing "one of the funkiest bands in the world". Starting in 2005, Samy Ben Redjeb, Analog Africa's founder and compiler, made several trips to Benin, where he dug up most of the orchestra's output recorded between 1969 and 1983: hundreds of vinyl records and a few master tapes, in a total of 500 songs! With all that material in hands and the astonishing richness of the group's meterial, choosing the songs proved to be a tough task. Therefore, it seems only natural that it has taken a few years for this third volume to come out of Analog Africa's sonic treasure trove. The 14 tracks presented here have never been issued outside of Africa and most of them follow the spirit and sound of the first volume, 'The Vodoun Effect', which was a selection of songs released by small and obscure labels from this tiny country which was once known as Dahomey. Some of the songs presented here were recorded using a legendary piece of equipment, a Swiss made Nagra reel-to-reel recorder and one or two microphones, in private houses or open air gardens, mostly at night. And still, it would be somewhat difficult for contemporary musicians and engineers to achieve the stunning quality of raw sound and the atmosphere obtained in these recordings, even if they booked the most modern and expensive studios out there today. One thing that immediately catches the attention listening to this compilation is the bands steamroller-like grooves employed by Gustave Bentho, the mythical bass master, and Leopold Yehouessi, the fantastic drummer of the band - for many, Africa's funkiest rhythm sections. The power lying in these tunes is phenomenal and shows true craftsmanship on both the composition and the production side, "Houton Kan Do Gome", composed by Bentho, would have made James Brown proud. "Ecoutes ma Melodie" is destined to become a classical late night tune for the many amazing tropical and afro parties taking place around the globe. "Pourquoi Pas?" and "A O O Ida" would be the kind of sound The Meters would have created were they born in Benin. On December 17th, 2012, only a few months before this release, Melome Clement, the man who formed the all-powerful orchestra, passed away victim of a heart attack. The "boss," as the other band members would tenderly call him, will be missed, but not forgotten. The soul of the music he created has permanently engraved itself in the soil of Benin.

ORCHESTRE SUPER BORGOU DE PARAKOU - THE BARIBA SOUND
Lost sounds are the archives of a forgotten history. The raucously raw, Vodoun-inspired rhythms of Cotonou have confirmed Benin as a mecca of '70s Afro sounds and revived
the story of its people, but the unopened vaults housing the country's catacombs of musical riches are endless. With this as our compass, Analog Africa charters its fifth expedition to Benin, traveling far north to delve deeper into the obscured repertoires and tales of the Bariba and Dendi people. Originating from the Kwara state of northwest Nigeria, the Bariba - a predominantly Islamic people - now dominate the Borgou department of Benin with the market city of Parakou at its heart. The rhythms of their culture constitute just one domain of the Islamic Funk Belt - a distinct musical swath of land encompassing northern Ghana, Togo and Benin. Once frequented by Muslim merchants and traders, the belt has yielded a rich harvest of talent with the likes of Uppers International (Ghana), Orchestre Abass, the Black Devils
(Togo), Anassoua Jazz (Benin) and, undoubtedly the most powerful band from Parakou, Orchestre Super Borgou, who were first introduced to the West via Analog Africa's defining
release, "African Scream Contest." The birth of modern African music in Parakou is inextricably linked to Super Borgou. The
progressive-minded father of the band's founder, Moussa Mama, imported modern music - which he learned while working as a goldsmith in Accra, Ghana - to the region in the '50s. His return to Borgou and subsequent teachings spawned countless bands from villages across the department. In its infancy, Super Borgou served as a cover band for Congolese Rumba hits but, in line with the most enigmatic - and experimental - African bands of the day, they developed their own musical identity by reinventing traditional songs and rhythms. With Benin's foremost drummer, Bori Borro, in their ranks, Bariba and Dendi linguistic folklore - alongside melodies of an Islamic ilk - fused with Soul, Pachanga, Breakbeats, Rumba and Afro-Beat, Orchestre Super Borgou de Parakou manufactured a sound of penetrating and unpolished directness, blurring the line between the erstwhile rhythms of the devout village and the modern grooves infecting the forward-thinking city. Their
reinvention redefines what contemporary audiences classify as the "Afro" genre. Performing live at the bar 'Congolaise', the high-octane live performances of Parakou's finest troupe also captured the imagination of Celestin Houenou Sezan, co-founder of Albarika Store (Benins most important music label), and Super Borgou were, in fact, the legendary label's very first EP release. Apart from Albarika, Discadam - and its sub labels
Impressions Sonores du Nord and Echos Sonores du Borgou - were the band's major backers who helped galvanize the sound of northern Benin. Armed with a keen sense of philosophical observation, multi-instrumentalist Moussa Mama and rhythm guitarist Menou Roch, through their lyrics, reported on the socio-economic ills of their time - the rampant inequalities they saw around them - which established the band as noteworthy commentators on top of their gift of unique rhythm. Sticking with our dedication to dig deeper with each compilation, Analog Africa's Orchestre Super Borgou anthology opens an entirely new chapter of lost and resurrected Afro sounds. Remastered to recreate the energy of their legendary live performances and
accompanied by our signature full-color booklet, the story of this remarkable ensemble and the traditions of the people of Northern Benin is set to be revealed and documented like never before.

ROB - FUNKY ROB WAY
Available again! Rob "Roy" Raindorf, born on the 13th of May 1949 in Accra, is definitely one of the most enigmatic artists to come out of Ghana. He appeared from nowhere with a unique and twisted sound. An admirer of American artists Otis Redding, James Brown, Wilson Pickett and Ray Charles, Rob began his trade by learning the piano at a music school in Cotonou, Benin. When his education ended, he ventured out to make what money he could by getting gigs with the movers and shakers of the Beninese music scene, namely Orchestre Poly-Rythmo as well as the Black Santiagos. Absorbing and learning the intricacies of music composition, Rob returned to Ghana where he began to write his own songs and eventually sought the backing of a band, specifically one which possessed horns. In 1977, a young Rob travelled to the city of Takoradi in western Ghana to approach an army band named Mag-2 whom he had seen perform in Accra. Mag-2 had an entire section of its ensemble dedicated to horns and some of the sophisticated music equipment available in Ghana at the time - Hofner guitars, Yamaha keyboards and the like. Belonging to the "magnificient" second battalion of the Takoradi-based army unit, original founder Amponsah Rockson decided to aptly name the band "Mag-2." Joining the army during the 1970s was often an easy decision, particularly for musicians, since the army provided not only good music equipment but basic services such as food and medical care.
Mag-2 was essentially filled with the best elements of "The Parrots," a highlife band in which Amponsah was the lead guitarist. Their primary task was to entertain soldiers and with the army tour bus, perform from town to town as well as in reputable venues in the captial. Enticed by the style of music Rob had proposed, Mag-2 backed the Ghanaian sensation on two of his most astonishing records - his first and second albums -"Funky Rob Way" and "Make it Fast, Make it Slow," both of which were recorded at Essiebons studios in Accra. Despite Rob's training and musical education, Amponsah was responsible for the vast majority of the compositions, such as building the chord progression and arranging the horns that Rob craved. Rob would even wait for the Mag-2 maestro's cue to begin singing.
Despite early successes, a once-unflinching interest in Afrobeat began to wane by the early 1980s and Disco Boogie rapidly became the vogue style around which label owners and
music producers sought to capitalize upon. The style Rob had shaped his career around was in decline and an adequate income consequently became a major concern, forcing him to travel to Hamburg, Germany in search of a financial backer.

SHADOW - SWEET SWEET DREAMS
When it first appeared in 1984, the far-out album 'Sweet Sweet Dreams' by Trinidad And Tobago artist Shadow (a.k.a. Winston Bailey) was described as "way ahead of its time". Undeservedly it was panned by critics and disappeared into the dusty record collections of only a few music aficionados. Now, more than three decades later, that cosmic dance-floor UFO is about to take off once again, change the past and set the record straight. This genuine masterpiece comes with remastered sound for your maximum listening pleasure.

TOURE, AMARA - 1973-1980
This Analog Africa compilation of Amara Touré, the enigmatic Afro-Cuban musician from Guinea-Conakry, contains all of the 10 songs he ever released between 1973 and 1980. "Latin music, is it really foreign to us Africans? I don't think so. Listen to the drums, to the rhythm. It all seems very close to us - it feels like it's our own culture," declared enigmatic singer Amara Touré. It is the late '50s, and Senegal is going crazy to the groove of Son Montuno and Patchanga. Brought to West Africa by Cuban sailors in the early 40s, these styles were immediately adopted by a flourishing music scene that did not hesitate to embrace the Caribbean sound, mixed it with their own folklore, and, in the process, created something new. Through the unique cultural fusion of West African and Caribbean influences, Latin music took on a new and unique sound - the format was reinvented.

VARIOUS - AFROBEAT AIRWAYS 2
'Return Flight To Ghana 1974-1983'. From the coastal cities of Accra and Cape Coast, basked in a tropical sound heavily influenced by highlife, to the semi-Saharan cities of Tamal and Bolgatanga (part of a self-proclaimed Islamic Funk Belt) via the central city of Kumasi, Analog Africa has criss-crossed Ghana in search of rare tracks for the 'Afrobeat Airways' series. Following the success of the first instalment in 2009, Analog Africa now presents the second volume, offering a selection of 13 ultra-rare tracks composed by some of the musical giants who had created a movement that rocked the West African nation throughout the '70s. Featured are legendary singer K. Frimpong, Nana Ampedu (leader of the mighty African Brothers Band), Gyedu-Blay Ambolley and his superb guest appearance with The Complex Sounds, afrobeat star Ebo Taylor, backing his son in an unreleased track called 'Children Don't Cry', the enigmatic Rob and his unique blend of twisted afrofunk, innovative drummer De Frank and Uppers International, with their raw Islamic funk style. At the same time more obscure artists such as Los Issufu & his Moslems, Waza Afriko 76 and Tony Sarfo & His Funky Afrosibi make their northern hemisphere debuts, adding to a rich list of Ghanaian artists whose music could be transferred seamlessly to any dancefloor in the world. Three years in the making, the accompanying 44-page booklet of 'Afrobeat Airways 2' features an introductory essay written by Afropop Worldwide editor Banning Eyre, exploring the development of soul, funk and Afrobeat during the '60s and '70s in Ghana. The remaining 30 pages are packed with interviews and biographies of the artists and producers involved in the creation of this wonderful music. Additionally, the Analog Africa team have managed to track down the photographers of the famous Modern Photo studios, located at the front of Accra's legendary Tip Toe, a venue notorious for organizing unforgettable dance competitions, Miss Tip Toe contests and the most in-demand highlife and Afrobeat gigs of the era. To document what happened within the music scene in Ghana during that time, 400 negatives have been lent to the Analog Africa team. Samy Ben Redjeb selected 50 of the most expressive pictures to document what could well be Analog Africa's most beautiful booklet to date!

VARIOUS - BAMBARA MYSTIC SOUL
'The Raw Sound Of Burkina Faso 1974-1979'. For its commemorative 10th release, Analog Africa indulges in Burkina Faso, one of the jewels of the Sahel, a harsh and arid strip that straddles the southern Sahara, stretching from Dakar in the west to Djibouti in the east. Formerly known as Haute Volta, Burkina Faso's sound was organized and nurtured during the country's time as part of a vast patchwork making up French colonial West Africa. The rise of a post-independence urban middle class willing to invest in the Burkinabe arts spawned a cadre of singers, bands, orchestras and, most importantly, competitive record labels who all played their part in ushering in a golden age of music in their landlocked nation during the 1970's - a decade marred by political instability in the country and an era of artistic enlightenment empowering the whole of Africa. The Sahelian climate fortunately bore no influence on the Burkinabe sound, which is cosmopolitan as it was raw. West Africa was and continues to remain deeply
interconnected. In search of better gigs, well-to-do producers and sufficient recording equipment, Burkinabe musicians ventured across the surrounding region, returning home
with a wealth of knowledge of their neighbors' distinctive styles. The raw sound of Burkina Faso combined Afro-Funk, traditional Islamic rhythms and subtle Afro-Latin sounds brought over by visiting Cuban ensembles. Mandingue melodies
and guitar techniques from Mali and Guinea, however, were by far the most defining traits of a potent African mix that distinguished the Voltaic style between 1974 and 1979. Beginning with L'Harmonie Voltaique and Super Volta (both featured in this compilation), the pioneering orchestras from the capital Ouagadougou, several groups followed suit. Regional orchestras outside of the capital proudly boasted the contemporary sound through ensembles such as Echo del Africa National and Volta Jazz, and exported much needed skilled musicians back to the capital. Record labels across Burkina Faso sprung up to capture the newly born mystic and soulful
sound taking over the country. Volta Discobel and Club Voltaique du Disque (CVD) emerged in 1974 and competed for the modern music of their people. Despite its humble beginnings as a record shop, CVD came to dominate the industry. Both labels worked with the heavyweights of the time, such as the majestic Amadou Ballaké, a national icon who is featured extensively on this compilation. By the mid 70's, Ouagadougou had become a hotbed for African music, filled with touring bands, gifted instrumentalists and hypnotic vocalists. Talent was abound, to say the least. Bamogo Jean Claube, the founder of Afro-Soul System, went from being a "musician's tailor" to a celebrated singer. Ballaké himself jumped from job to job before being
recognized for his graceful voice. While it might be Analog Africa's venture into possibly the most obscure of African sounds thus far, the sounds of the golden age of Burkinabe music deserve to be heard and the varying styles that came to define the era are completely covered in this 16-track release.

VARIOUS - CAMEROON GARAGE FUNK
Yaoundé in the 1970's was a buzzing place. Every neighbourhood of Cameroon's capital, no matter how dodgy, was filled with music spots but surprisingly there were no infrastructure to immortalise those musical riches. The country suffered from a serious lack of proper recording facilities, and the process of committing your song to tape could become a whole adventure unto itself. Of course, you could always book the national broadcasting company together with a sound engineer, but this was hardly an option for underground artists with no cash. But luckily an alternative option emerged in form of an adventist church with some good recording equipment and many of the artists on this compilation recorded their first few songs, secretly, in these premises thanks to Monsieur Awono, the church engineer. He knew the schedule of the priests and, in exchange for some cash, he would arrange recording sessions. The artists still had to bring their own equipment, and since there was only one microphone, the amps and instruments had to be positioned perfectly. It was a risky business for everyone involved but since they knew they were making history, it was all worth it. At the end of the recording, the master reel would be handed to whoever had paid for the session, usually the artist himself... and what happened next? With no distribution nor recording companies around this was a legitimate question. More often then not it was the French label Sonafric that would offer their manufacturing and distribution structure and many Cameroonian artist used that platform to kickstart their career. What is particularly surprising in the case of Sonafric was their willingness to take chances and judge music solely on their merit rather than their commercial viability. The sheer amount of seriously crazy music released also spoke volumes about the openness of the people behind the label. But who exactly are these artists that recorded one or two songs before disappearing, never to be heard from again? Some of the names were so obscure that even the most seasoned veterans of the Cameroonian music scene had never heard of them. A few trips to the land of Makossa and many more hours of interviews were necessary to get enough insight to assemble the puzzle-pieces of Yaoundé's buzzing 1970s music scene. We learned that despite the myriad difficulties involved in the simple process of making and releasing a record, the musicians of Yaoundé's underground music scene left behind an extraordinary legacy of raw grooves and magnificent tunes. The songs may have been recorded in a church, with a single microphone in the span of only an hour or two, but the fact that we still pay attention to these great creations some 50 years later, only illustrates the timelessness of their music. The CD comes with a full color 28-pages booklet.

VARIOUS - EDO FUNK EXPLOSION, VOL. 1
"The skeletal composition and the relentless exploitation of synthesizers, electric guitars and '80s effect racks resulted in a spiced up psychedelic brew known as Edo Funk!" It was in Benin City, in the heart of Nigeria, that a new hybrid of intoxicating highlife music known as Edo Funk was born. It first emerged in the late 1970s when a group of musicians began to experiment with different ways of integrating elements from their native Edo culture and fusing them with new sound effects coming from West Africa's night-clubs. Unlike the rather polished 1980s Nigerian disco productions coming out of the international metropolis of Lagos, Edo Funk was raw and reduced to its bare minimum. Someone was needed to channel this energy into a distinctive sound and Sir Victor Uwaifo appeared like a mad professor with his Joromi studio. Uwaifo took the skeletal structure of Edo music and relentless began fusing them with synthesizers, electric guitars and '80s effect racks which resulted in some of the most outstanding Edo recordings ever made. An explosive spiced up brew with an odd psychedelic note dubbed "Edo Funk". That's the sound you'll be discovering in the first volume of the 'Edo Funk Explosion' series which focusses on the genre's greatest originators: Osayomore Joseph, Akaba Man, and Sir Victor Uwaifo. Osayomore Joseph was one of the first musicians to bring the sound of the flute into the horn-dominated world of highlife, and his skills as a performer made him a fixture on the Lagos scene. When he returned to settle in Benin City in the mid 1970s - at the invitation of the royal family - he devoted himself to the modernisation and electrification of Edo music, using funk and Afro-beat as the building blocks for songs that weren't afraid to call out government corruption or confront the dark legacy of Nigeria's colonial past. Akaba Man was the philosopher king of Edo funk. Less overtly political than Osayomore Joseph and less psychedelic than Victor Uwaifo, he found the perfect medium for his message in the trance-like grooves of Edo funk. With pulsating rhythms awash in cosmic synth-fields and lyrics that express a deep personal vision, he found great success at the dawn of the 1980s as one of Benin City's most persuasive ambassadors of funky highlife. Victor Uwaifo was already a star in Nigeria when he built the legendary Joromi studios in his hometown of Benin City in 1978. Using his unique guitar style as the mediating force between West-African highlife and the traditional rhythms and melodies of Edo music, he had scored several hits in the early seventies, but once he had his own sixteen-track facility he was able to pursue his obsession with the synesthetic possibilities of pure sound, adding squelchy synths, swirling organs and studio effects to hypnotic basslines and raw grooves. Between his own records and his production for other musicians, he quickly established himself as the godfather of Edo funk.

VARIOUS - ESSIEBONS SPECIAL 1973-1984
Dick Essilfie-Bondzie was all ready for his 90th birthday party when the Covid pandemic hit. The legendary producer, businessman and founder of Ghana's mighty Essiebons label had invited all his family and friends to the event and it was the disappointment at having to postpone that prompted Analog Africa founder Samy Ben Redjeb to propose a new compilation celebrating his contributions to the world of West African music. For most of the 1970s Essilfie-Bondzie's Dix and Essiebons labels were synonymous with the best in modern highlife, and his roster was a who's-who of highlife legends. C.K. Mann, Gyedu Blay Ambolley, Kofi Papa Yankson, Ernest Honny, Rob 'Roy' Raindorf and Ebo Taylor all released some of their greatest music under the Essiebons banner. Yet Essilfie-Bondzie had been destined for a very different career. Born in Apam and raised in Accra, he was sent to business school in London at the age of 20, and returned to the security of a government job in Ghana. But his passion for music, inspired by the sounds of Accra's highlife scene, had never left him, and in 1967 he figured out a way of combining music and business by opening West Africa's first record pressing plant. The venture, a partnership with the Philips label, was a huge success, attracting business from all over the continent. By the early 1970s Essilfie-Bondzie had left his government job to concentrate on his labels, and by the mid-seventies he was on a hot streak injecting album after album of restless highlife into the bloodstream of the Ghanaian music scene.
'Essiebons Special' features a selection of obscure workouts from some of the label's heaviest hitters. But in the course of digitising his vast archive of master tapes, Essilfie-Bondzie found a number of Afrobeat and instrumental masterpieces the label's mid-'70s golden age that, for one reason or another, had never been released. Those songs are included here for the first time. Sadly Essilfie-Bondzie passed away before the compilation was finished. But his legacy lives on in the extraordinary music that he gave to the world in his lifetime.

VARIOUS - MOGADISCO
'DANCING MOGADISHU - SOMALIA 1972-1991' - After being blown away by a few tunes -probably just as you will be after listening to this- Samy Ben Redjeb travelled to the infamous capital city of Somalia in November of 2016, making Analog Africa the first music label to set foot in Mogadishu. On his arrival in Somalia Samy questioned the need for a vehicle full of armed chaperones casually toting Kalashnikovs, deemed necessary to accompany him to the radio station archive every morning, but then began rifling through piles of cassettes and listening to reel-to-reel tapes in the dusty archives of Radio Mogadishu, looking for music that 'swam against the current'.
The stars were aligned: an uncovered and unmarked pile of discarded recordings was discovered in a cluttered corner
of the building. Colonel Abshir -the senior employee and protector of Radio Mogadishu's archives- clarified that the pile consisted mostly of music nobody had manage to identify, or music he described as being 'mainly instrumental and strange music'. At the words 'strange music' Samy was hooked, the return flight to Tunisia was cancelled. The pile turned out to be a cornucopia of different sounds: radio jingles, background music and interludes for radio programmes, television shows and theatre plays. There were also a good number of disco tunes, some had been stripped of their lyrics, the interesting parts had been recorded multiple times then cut, taped together and spliced into a long groovy instrumental loop. Over the next three weeks, often in watermelon-, grapefruit-juice and shisha-fuelled night-time sessions behind the fortified walls of Radio Mogadishu, Samy and the archive staff put together
'Mogadisco: Dancing Mogadishu - Somalia 1972-1991'. 'Mogadisco' was not Analog Africa's easiest project. Tracking down the musicians -often in exile in the diaspora- to interview them and gather anecdotes of golden-era Mogadishu has been an undertaking that took three years. Tales of Dur-Dur Band's kidnapping, movie soundtracks recorded in the basements of hotels, musicians getting electrocuted on stage, others jumping from one band to another under dramatic circumstances, and soul singers competing against each other, are all stories included in the massive booklet that accompanies the compilation - adorned with no less then 50 pictures from the '70s and '80s.
As Colonel Abshir Hashi Ali, chief don at the Radio Mogadishu archive -someone who once wrestled a bomber wielding
an unpinned hand-grenade to the floor- put it: "I have dedicated my life to this place. I'm doing this so it can get
to the next generation; so that the culture, the heritage and the songs of Somalia don't disappear."

VARIOUS - POP MAKOSSA
'THE INVASIVE DANCE BEAT OF CAMEROON 1976-1984' - An explosive compilation highlighting the era when funk and disco sounds began to infiltrate Cameroon's Makossa style. The beat that holds everything together originate's from the Sawa people's rhythms. When these rhythms collided with merengue, high-life, Congolese rumba, and, later, funk and disco, modern Makossa was born. Makossa, the beat that long before football, managed to unify the whole of Cameroon. Some of the greatest Makossa hits incorporated the electrifying guitars and tight grooves of funk, while others were laced with cosmic synth flourishes.
However, most of this music's vibe came down to the bass, and 'Pop Makossa' demonstrates why many Cameroonian bass players are among the most revered in the world.

BOSETTI, ALESSANDRO - PLANE/TALEA 31-34 (2LP)
Since a few years Alessandro Bosetti has been collecting voices that become part of the 'Plane/Talea' archive. The creation of the archive stems from dozens of individual meetings and recording sessions, in which each voice is detached from its owner or originator and anonymized. With each new iteration and performance, Bosetti plays the archive as if it were an instrument. He searches for hidden details and correspondences through exploration, immersion and contemplation. Each re-activation of the archive results in a dense and
swarming polyphony made up of thousands of short utterances - shorter than any word bearing a meaning - recombined and interwoven into complex textures. The particularity of the grain of 'Plane/Talea' lies in the autonomous and darting life that each of these fragments lives in a teeming community of voices. Such polyphonies are rich in microtonal detail emerging from the incessant juxtaposition of vocal objets trouvés. Harmonic relationships are sometimes rough and chaotic, other times surprisingly just. The voices are never treated electronically but only recombined and musical tension is provided by the particular grain, inflection, energy of each one of them in counterpoint to the others and to a frugally used instrumentarium (Harpsichord, Ondes Martenot, Cristal Baschet, grand piano, analog synth, Hammond organ). Implicit reference goes to ancient, modern and postmodern forms of vocal polyphony. 'Plane/Talea 31-34' -the continuation of the homonymous 2016 LP- is a work of sampling that projects an imaginary community and a disembodied choir. The four arching and extensive tracks were created between 2017 and 2018 and bear the trace of two specific moments: August nights in a country house in Vicobarone, in the hills of Piacenza (31-32) and a week-long residency at the Studio Venezia, an environment created by French artist Xavier Veilhan in the French pavilion at the 2017 Venice Biennale (33-34). Limited to 300 copies on black vinyl.

COIMS - BLUES IN F SHARP
Coims' music is a journey into a post-industrial area that evokes desolate zones and hauntilogical landscapes. It's a deconstruction of modern music reducing it to atavistic rumblings of electronic swells, metallic explosions and feral string attacks. Coims sound like no-one else, referring to themselves as "all tonal garage dub," and are getting noticed fast through releases on BumTapes, Liquid Library & owlett Music in the UK underground. This debut album has been compared to Taj Mahal Travellers and The Dead C. Comes in a silk screened sleeve sealed with electric blue gaffer tape.

GALES, FRED - HET JACOBA PRIEEL (2LP)
Originally released on tape by Sound Reporters in 1986. 'Het Jacoba Prieel' is a very weird compendium of imaginary soundscapes, in which every coordinate seems lost and totally deviated. Fred Gales, in collaboration with Walter Maioli and Pit Piccinelli, presents his idea of a concrete organic music, a diary of signals and sound impressions inspired by the great tradition of primitive music, an extreme investigation of love on the primordial beauty of sound expression. Travelling into the properties of all matter of the sonic environment, the members of the legendary Sound Reporters generate, transform, mix, filter and modulate natural and electronic sounds in the magical analogical studio of the Utrecht Institute of Sonology. From a single movement of sound fragments are opened catalyst flows and circuits, flickering sequencers and oscillations of luminous channels. Futuristic tribalism, hypnotic fossil percussion, alien sounds, dreamlike trips in the jungle, echoes of rustling and rumbles otherworldly, rain waterfalls and shells in the pond, calls of animals and insects, heart beats and radar waves. Everything is just pure sound and surrounds us.

GELD, TOM -VAN DER- - SMALL MOUNTAIN
In 1986, the vibraphonist Tom van der Geld composed his personal ode to creation, a tonal poem for all natural beings called 'Small Mountain.' It reveals a pure minimalist inspiration, a vibrant style of sound variations that is decidedly more Zen-impressionistic than the mathematical-metaphysical works of Steve Reich. This music, for four marimbas and other percussion instruments suggests an emotional osmosis with all the elements, a flow of ecstatic progressions that is more immanence than transcendence. It's the rain that falls softly on fragrant moss or the fog that hides the frost on the grass; an exotic spectrum of multiform colours, dances of leaves, branches, sticks, fronds, lianas, swirls of petals and bark. Ode to the wind, to the rainforest, a psalm to the waters energy that opens the portals of the temples of Nature. As in the aboriginal songlines, every place or being on Planet Earth becomes, through music, space for the sacred.

MOON ON THE WATER - MOON ON THE WATER
A mysterious sound aurora on the magical paths of the infinite universe of percussion, originally released in 1985 and then almost completley lost. The well-educated drummer Tiziano Tononi, together with David Searcy and Jonathan Scully, while working at the temple of the classical music Teatro alla Scala in Milano decides to realize a personal compendium of sounds using only purcussion instruments. The recordings offer us an amazing concert of sounds with acoustic purity in perfect balance between wild rhythm and deep relaxation. Ecstatic elements of Japan ambient minimalism dialogue with contemporary music solutions (Varese, Ligeti), in the stream of a harmonious fusion of ancient and modern. It's a propitiatory ceremony of supernatural things that open portals of blissfulness, tribal and shamanic darkness, timeless jungles. Between Amazon fires and African safaris, we float in the Asian rivers of meditation, lost in water games, echoes of caves and rocks in the night, synergies of frogs, birds, snakes, marimbas, chimes, gongs, and tubular woods.

NIRODH - SUONI IMMAGINARI
Before his prolific activity in the field of music therapy, Agostino Nirodh Fortini also embarked on his own path in electronic music. In the early eighties he was a close collaborator of Walter Maioli and Fred Gales, at the time of the pioneering label Sound Reporters. 'Suoni Immaginari', released only privately on cassette in 1988, contains a wide range of keyboards and lots of ethnic field recordings assembled with an absolutely modern praxis ahead of its time. Nirodh imagines his planetary odysseys as a complex of harmonic devices, nebula storms, glassy explosions and gravity-free falls. His operational horizon reflects further cultural ideas and suggestions; not only the artifice between natural sounds and the programmed machine but also the intrusion of arabesque dreams and jungles contaminated by invading insects and mad pipers. These are spectral symphonies which can have analogies with the fourth world of Hassell and Eno.

RUSHFORD, JAMES - BLOCK GIFTS
'Block Gifts' is a collection of three works for organs composed by James Rushford between 2015 and 2018. Using harmonium, portative organ and electric organ, each piece is linked by Rushford's idiosyncratic combination of strict intervallic systems in different tunings (Werckmeister, quarter-tone, equal temperament), and haptically-informed rhythmic and expressive freedom. Creaks, stutters and sweeping fingers on keys become instrumental sounds in their own right, creating a further logical layer in Rushford's compositional world. An intimate, nocturnal, and slightly suffered dialogue between the instrument and the body building a shining and fragile monument to the ephemeral nature of the organ, one of the most intriguing and ancient families of musical instruments in history. Mixed by Joe Talia, mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi, cut by Daniel Krieger at SST, Frankfurt am Main. Composed and recorded 2015-2018 at Akademie Schloss Solitude (Stuttgart), California Institute of the Arts (by Sam Dunscombe) and Chinatown Studios, Melbourne (by Joe Talia). Cover artwork and fold out poster by Graham Lambkin. Limited to 300 copies.

VARIOUS - ETHNOELECTRONICS (2LP)
Originally released on tape by Sound Reporters in 1986. 'Ethnoelectronics' is a further episode of pioneering fusion between ethnic and electronic music, involving dauntless explorers such as Walter Maioli, Nirodh Fortini, Fred Gales, Raffaele Serra, John Zandijk and the visionary sculptor Edward Luyken. As the soundtrack of an obscure science-fiction saga, the six parts of these recordings retain something profoundly osmotic and sidereal. In these hybridizations, it's the heart of personal spiritual cosmos and stratospheric portals to pulse, but always remains the devotion to wild nature and ethnographic differences. In this way, the sinusoidal movements of electronic synthesizers and radiophonic frequencies interact with the pounding sounds of the jungle, with frogs, sea waves, buzz insects, leaves and rain. From flutes, rattles, steel sound sculptures or rustling idiophones, mysterious samples appeared like weird interferences, with rhythms and ritual voices from Tibet, West Papua, Burundi, Tahiti or the shamanic Japan of the Ainu.

BAILEY, DEREK -& ANDREA CENTAZZO- - DROPS
In the history of free improvised music, there has been arguably no greater advocate for the idiom's power and potential than the English guitarist Derek Bailey. Fiercely principled, between his emergence during the 1960s and his death in 2005, he cut a wide path, positioning this music at the height of creativity, transpiring in real time, and a means through which people from diverse backgrounds could come together, express, and commune. For Bailey, "playing is about playing with other people... Improvisation is a process that gets relationships sorted out." Among many great examples of this within Bailey's sprawling discography, a stand out is his 1977 duo LP 'Drops' -originally issued as the third album on Ictus- recorded with the Italian percussionist/drummer Andrea Centazzo. Capturing the guitarist during one of his most prolific and creatively visionary periods -overflowing with explosive clarity, dialogic energy, and imagination- he clearly found a perfect foil in Centazzo, who recalls of the sessions "The kaleidoscopic quality of 'Drops' was created by this restraint of performing limits, i.e. the choice of instrumental timbres, dynamics and metronome speeds to suit each piece. We explored some aspects of our improvisational art, gleaned the best elements from our baggage of music memories and exposed them clearly and confidently." Comprising nine individual improvisations, 'Drops' encounters each of its players at their best, finding a strange middle ground between the intuitive logics of their instruments; Bailey's tones taking on decidedly percussive approaches, while Centazzo's fractured polyrhythms and beats often veer toward the presence of a notable tonality. Remarkably expressive and diverse in the approach of each piece, 'Drops' presents creative interplay at its most striking and challenging, rethinking the terms of musicality and collaboration every step of the way. Flurries of rattle back and forth, sculpting barbed and pointillistic landscapes of texture, stripped of reference and precedent, and abstract as real time organised sound comes. Edition of 250 copies.

CENTAZZO, ANDREA - U.S.A. CONCERTS
The Italian Ictus imprint was founded in 1976 by percussionist and composer Andrea Centazzo and his wife Carla Lugli. Running for just under a decade, until relaunching during the mid-2000s, the label produced a couple of dozen highly celebrated releases, the majority of which loosely fall under the banner of free jazz. Ictus' second batch of releases from the label's historic archives logically begins with Andrea Centazzo's 'U.S.A. Concerts,' originally issued in 1978 and out of print on vinyl for the majority of the time since. 'U.S.A. Concerts' draws on the same rough period when Centazzo was working in the United States at 'Environment For Sextet,' which was reissued in the previous batch, and features many of the same players - Polly Bradfield on violin, Eugene Chadbourne on guitar, Tom Cora on cello, Toshinori Kondo on trumpet and John Zorn on saxophone - in different configurations. In fact, the first, second, and seventh tracks - 'Sextet Improvisation,' 'Duet Improvisation 1,' 'Duet Improvisation 4' - were all recorded on the same day at the same location - WKCR Radio in New York on November 7, 1978 - as the aforementioned album.
Beginning with the brilliant textural and tonal explorations of the full ensemble encountered in 'Sextet Improvisation,' the album quickly moves toward quieter and more restrained investigations of roughly similar ground, moving through a series of duo improvisations between the percussionist and Eugene Chadbourne, Tom Cora, and the under-celebrated saxophonist, Jack Wright, whose howling horn is transformed to otherworldly effect by the reverberance of the space within which he works. From here Centazzo embraces the trio form with an improvisation with two more under-celebrated figures from the American scene - Davey Williams playing guitar and banjo, and LaDonna Smith on violin, viola, and voice - capturing a performance in Jackson, Mississippi on November 19, 1978, during which the three fire responsive statements that hang like barbs in the spacious air, before conceding the LP with a brilliant suite of duos with Toshinori Kondo, Williams, and Smith. Offering incredible insight into Centazzo's unique sensibility, as well as into the work of a new generation of stunning improvisers as they emerged at the tail end of the '70s, before going on to help define the '80s free jazz sound, 'U.S.A. Concerts' is a crucial artefact of free music at the juncture; fire on the boundaries of outright noise. An endlessly surprising journey between shifting between airy open passages that feature striking combinations of players, it's sure to knock the socks off more than a few well-seasoned fans.

FOLK MAGIC BAND - FOLK MAGIC BAND
Folk Magic Band represents one of the most interesting and original, yet lesser-known experiences of the Italian jazz scene of the 1970s. In the legendary alternative environment of the Folk Studio in Rome, an open 18-members line-up is inspired by the free jazz of its time, a music that encompasses the whole world and its polychromy of sound. The echo seems to resonate the pan-ethnic motifs of Don Cherry and his Organic Music Society, but also the spiritual jazz of Pharoah Sanders and the orchestrations of the Sun Ra Arkestra. The textures chase a Chinese melody, ignite with African scents and South American jungles, flow into fusion violin drifts a la Archie Shepp's 'Attic Blues' or Mingus-like orchestral sections. The fascination of this collective affair still strikes for its playful and ironic nature, still impressing for its strength and willingness to open and influence new directions.

KONSTRUKT & ALEXANDER HAWKINS - LIVE AT CAFE OTO (2LP)
Istanbul-based free music ensemble Konstrukt perform alongside special guest Alexander Hawkins building the perfect groove in a sweaty Cafe Oto on August 10th 2015. Two sets from the same night, each a 40 minute long improvisation. The first set is a psychedelic warm-up where the Turkish quartet welcomes Hawkins in a whirlwind of hypnotic funky tunes going electric in the Miles Davis way. The second set starts with Hawkins' piano keys bouncing along a silent background soon to be filled with a groovy odd drum tempo leading to a wall of sound where all parts build a perfectly unpredictable dialogue..

PYGMY UNIT - SIGNALS FROM EARTH
Blending Native American references into a body of sonority that draws on free improvisation, experimental electronic music, and spiritual jazz, Pygmy Unit's 'Signals From Earth' - originally self-released by the band in 1974 - forges a singular and almost entirely unknown path, and stands almost entirely on its own in the history of west coast American jazz.
First appearing on the San Francisco scene sometime during the early 1970s, almost nothing is known about the Pygmy Unit, a seven piece band steered by Darrel De Vore, who contributed flute, bass, percussion, piano, and vocals to the band's lone LP, first appeared with percussionist Terry Wilson within the psychedelic folk rock band, The Charlatans, who belonged to the legendary Family Dog scene. Jim Pepper, a Native American tenor saxophonist known for being a member of the Mal Waldron Quartet, played with Charlie Haden, Don Cherry, and numerous others, and produced the cult favourite, 'Pepper's Pow Wow,' for Embryo Records in 1971. John Celona, who contributes parts on sax, synthesizer, and percussion, would later go on to be regarded as an electronic composer of some note. Of the remaining members, saxophonist Frank Albright, bassoonist Ron Grunn, and percussionist Marvin Kirkland, very little else is known. It seems this LP is more or less all they recorded.
While undeniably jazz - riding a remarkable line between avant-garde electronic music, spiritual jazz, and free improvisation - the band was very much a product of the diverse creative ferment that developed in their hometown of San Francisco during the 1960s. Embodying the raw spirit of DIY (many of the instruments used in the recordings were made by DeVore himself, self-described as an "itinerant flute-maker") the ensemble channels references - via passages of chanting and percussion, as well as conceptual underpinnings - from Jim Pepper's Native American roots, intuiting them with the soulfulness of spiritual jazz, wild moments of avant-gardism centred around synths and electronic effects, and explosions of wild free improvisation.

RASMUSSEN, METTE -& PAK YAN LAU- - TRADITIONAL NOISE
A collaboration between two up and coming stars of experimental music -Mette Rasmussen and Pak Yan Lau- offering glimpses of probable futures of improvisation. Mette Rasmussen is a Danish saxophone player based in Trondheim, Norway, who first gained attention as a member of Trio Riot, before increasingly branching out as solo artist, working with the likes of Alan Silva, Chris Corsano, Fire! Orchestra, Tashi Dorji, and Ken Vandermark. Drawing from a wide range of influences, from free jazz to textural soundwork, Rasmussen's practice delves into the exploration of the natural rawness of her instrument and its capacity for expression, with and without preparations.
Based in Brussels, Pak Yan Lau is a sound artist, improviser, musician, and composer. Over the last decade, she has developed her own singular sonic universe blending acoustic, electro-acoustic and electronic approaches and working both as a vocalist, as well as with prepared pianos, toy pianos, synths, electronics and various sound objects across a number of solo efforts, in addition to live and recorded collaborations with Chris Corsano, Akira Sakata, Tatsuhisa Yamamoto, Tetuzi Akiyama, Rie Nakajima, and Darin Gray. Recorded in Antwerp during late 2017, 'Traditional Noise' features Rasmussen on alto sax, preparations, objects, voice, and Lau on toy pianos, synth, sampler, modified wok, typatune, and electronics, locked in an evolving, conversant sound expanse that pointedly avoids the explicitly musical as the two artists bristle against each other, delivering textural and tonal interventions defined by careful restrain and space.

ROVA SAXOPHONE QUARTET WITH ANDREA CENTAZZO - THE BAY
On the same trip to the United States that produced 'U.S.A. Concerts' and 'Environment For Sextet,' Andrea Centazzo also connected with the San Francisco-based Rova Saxophone Quartet, formed the previous year by Jon Raskin, Larry Ochs, Andrew Voigt and Bruce Ackley (all playing various saxophones). While not as well-known now as they once were, over the last 40+ years the ensemble has produced dozens of albums and collaborated with diverse figures like Anthony Braxton, Alvin Curran, Terry Riley, and Henry Kaiser. The first of those collaborations captured on tape was 'The Bay,' recorded in California during December of 1978. In Centazzo's own words: "At the end of the 1970s this group (R.O.V.A.) of four saxophone players appeared on the scene of improvised and jazz music, bringing with them a gust of fresh air in their unusual approach to themes, technical dexterity and daring choices of language contamination". Launching in with the almost symphonic piece, 'Trobar Clus,' which takes up the majority of the first side and deploys complex clusters tones and rhythms to startling effect, the album progresses through a series of pieces that follow Centazzo's disposition toward working across diverse arrangements of players, breaking down into trios, duos, and full ensemble works, each composed by the quartet, Centazzo, or in collaboration between the two. Utilizing compositional structures that allow broad spaces for improvisation, while highlighting each player's highly individual skill set within a various ensembles, trios, duets and solos, to underline the soloist skills of the musicians, and organizes the sound situations into ensembles, trios, duets and solos, 'The Bay' is a stunning piece of much neglected creativity, riding the American and Italian scenes, from the mid to late 1970s, as well as drawing the ear back toward the origins of The Rova Saxophone Quartet. Limited to 250 copies.

SUN RA & HIS ARKESTRA - JAZZ IN SILHOUETTE - EXPANDED EDITION (2LP)
'Jazz In Silhouette' is the quintessential record of Sun Ra's late 1950s Chicago period. Recorded and issued in 1959, it marks a coda for the bandleader's bebop/hard-bop stage, as his interstellar traveler persona began to transform the band (and the music). It also charts the future, showcasing the brilliant tenor sax stylings of John Gilmore, and introduces the iconic playing of Arkestra mainstays Marshall Allen, Pat Patrick, and Ronnie Boykins. Many of the early works on these recordings would remain staples in Arkestra set lists for the rest of Sun Ra's life. This expanded edition includes the complete, contemporaneous 'Sound Sun Pleasure,' rare stereo mixes, and bonus tracks. This edition's exterior features the original space nymph cover art, which only appeared in cropped and washed-out reproductions on an early '60s version. Liner notes by Irwin Chusid, and an expanded essay by John Corbett.

TAKAYANAGI, MASAYUKI -NEW DIRECTION UNIT- - ECLIPSE
Masayuki Takayanagi was one of the truly iconoclastic musicians to emerge from Japan, or anywhere else, in the 20th Century. Though he won acclaim in the 1950s and '60s as a master of the electric guitar and jazz improvisation, Takayanagi was a restless spirit, deeply engaged with the era's new movements in contemporary art, music, literature and philosophy. His work, beginning in the late 1960s placed him on the leading edge of these developments; he began expanding on the most radical elements of American and European free jazz, infusing them with the raw feedback and dissonance of electronic and avant-garde music. With his various "New Direction" groups, Takayanagi broke free of traditional structures and developed a new theory of music that embraced an aggressive and unrelenting style of playing that has remained almost completely unparalleled in its ferocity. Of all the albums to be released during Takayanagi's lifetime, 1975's 'Eclipse' was perhaps the most enigmatic and sought after. Released in an edition of only 100, it almost immediately disappeared and became a Holy Grail for Japanese connoisseurs of adventurous music, and rightly so. Its first side contained a two part realization of Takayanagi's 'Gradually Projection' modality - a searching interplay between instruments- slowly emerging from a sparse open field and building with the tension of a looming thunder storm. The second side contains an epic performance of a 'Mass Projection,' a high energy, densely layered barrage of sound that in its 25 minutes, never once slackens in intensity. It would be another 31 years before this key album in Takayanagi's oeuvre would finally have a (slightly) wider audience through a CD release by Japan's P.S.F. Records. Black Editions is proud to present a deluxe vinyl edition of this masterwork, revealingly remastered from the original tapes by Elysian Masters. The album is packaged in a heavy double tip-on gatefold jacket that pays tribute to the original handmade packaging and features a previously unseen studio photograph of Takayanagi by Tatsuo Minami.

TAKAYANAGI, MASAYUKI -NEW DIRECTION UNIT- - MASS HYSTERISM IN ANOTHER SITUATION
'Mass Hysterism In Another Situation' captures Masayuki Takayanagi's New Direction Unit in its final incarnation, at an apex in its development; it also finds Takayanagi, one of Japan's great iconoclastic artists, at a moment of crucial artistic transformation. Recorded in August 1983 as part of his 'Another Situation' concert series, the album features one of the last performances of Takayanagi's revolutionary and perhaps most famously violent piece, 'Mass Projection.' By this date, New Direction's line up had been distilled to a compact, searingly hot trio of Takayanagi joined on electric guitar by Akira Iijima and Hiroshi Yamazaki on drums/percussion. Over the course of 40 minutes, the group sustains an uninterrupted, highly charged attack propelled with unrelenting energy. The music is rife with noise and dissonance intruding from both sides; a vortex of sound and fury that begins to slip from even the expansive bounds of free jazz into something almost purely electronic. The trio would perform only four more times, completing the 'Another Situation' series with its 24th edition in November 1984. Eleven months later Takayanagi would debut an entirely new modality, one he called 'Action Direct.' It completely transformed his approach to guitar and sound in general by embracing an entirely abstract, solo noise music projected through massive, complex sound systems of his own design. 'Mass Hysterism' is perhaps the most powerful link in this part of Takayanagi's history - a perfect realization and farewell to one of his greatest forms en route to territories even further afield and radical. Black Editions presents 'Mass Hysterism In Another Situation' remastered and cut to double 45RPM 12" vinyl for maximum clarity and power. Housed in a heavy tip-on gatefold jacket with Pantone spot colors, spot ink pigment foil on gloss film laminate finish as well as printed inner sleeves. Featuring photographs by Tatsuo Minami and newly translated notes by Takayanagi scholar Yoshiyuki Kitazato.

ZORN/CENTAZZO/CHADBOURNE/CORA/KONDO/BRADFIELD - ENVIRONMENT FOR SEXTET
Recorded live at WKCR Radio in New York City in 1978 and issued by Ictus the following year, 'Environment For Sextet' encounters John Zorn at the earliest stages of his career, resting within a sextet of a new generation of stunning improvisers emerging at the tail end of the '70s who would go on to define a vast swath of the '80s sound -Polly Bradfield on violin, Andrea Centazzo on percussion, Eugene Chadbourne on guitar, Tom Cora on cello, and Toshinori Kondo on trumpet- it roughly builds on the series of collaborations that had featured on Centazzo's 1978 Ictus LP 'U.S.A. Concerts.'
Launching from a total wall of sound -full throttle fire on the boundaries of outright noise- 'Environment For Sextet' takes the listening on an endlessly surprising journey through its players' inner world, shifting between airy open passages that feature endless combinations of one or more players, to furious moments of sonorous lashings where the group falls in together in brilliant dialogical periods of converstant texture and tonal intervention. An engrossing and relentless listen from the first moment to the last -featuring two works built from two of Andrea Centazzo's earliest graphic scores- 'Environment For Sextet' is an absolutely stunning body of improvised work by what were then among the most important rising stars on the free music scene. Edition of 250 copies.

LOBO, ARY - 1958-1966
"Whoever has been following the musical movements happening within our culture, must have noticed this young singer hailing from the North of Brazil. An absolute master of Baiao, Côco, Batuque and other related musical genres and the owner of an art one hundred percent his own, Ary Lobo is the ideal interpreter of northeastern songs." These words taken from the original liner notes of Ary Lobo's first LP, 'Forró Con Ary Lobo' recorded in 1958, are in no way exaggeration. How many Brazilians have been bewitched by his voice nobody can say for sure but what is certain is that it is a voice that could have gone silent forever, as biographer Elmo Barros explains:
"Hailing from Belém do Para in the north of the country, Ary Lobo was ready to launch his campaign on the south of the country and set out for Rio de Janeiro in October of 1955. There he encountered the usual southern biases against singers from the North and it was only after meeting Gadé, a respected pianist, that he was able to secure an audition at Rádio Mauá.
But that the opportunity nearly turned into a disaster as he arrived to that session in such a frail state that he couldn't perform. Insufficient and irregular feeding had affected his breathing making it impossible to give his voice the necessary power. Fortunately the audition was postponed and on his second attempt he was able to secure a five month contract with the station were he became known as a samba singer. As his reputation grew, he was signed to RCA Victor in June of 1956."
The music scene in Rio began catching wind of the newcomer who cultivated the personality of a Northeastern singer with deep roots in Afro-Brazilian heritage. He would kick start the new decade by recording what many describe as his best work, 'Aqui Mora O Ritmo' (Here lives the rhythm) released in 1960. That album was followed a year later by 'Cheguei Na Lua' (I arrived on the moon) in which he sang of his passion for space travelling and for the moon in particular. But the moon was never going to be enough for Ary Lobo who had a gypsy soul and loved to wander the country, participating in "caravans" (as tours were called back then), performing in concert halls as well as playing in nightclubs, cabarets and bregas; those storied houses where cachaça was free-flowing, where resident prostitutes received their clients, and where the party often lasted until dawn. This demi-monde full of temptations was an
inspirational paradise for a bohemian like Ary Lobo but also his fall from grace. Ary Lobo recorded one LP every year until 1966 when he released 'Quem É O Campeao?' (Who is the champion?), his last album for RCA Victor. All these recordings are wonderful road trips taking the listener through the
various regions of Brazil; the tour guide on the journey is none other than Ary Lobo himself who, besides philosophy, science, politics and religion, would ornate the whole travel experience with an in-depth look into the traditions of a Brazilian society moving toward modernity. Forró, as with so many genres, enjoyed its moment of greatness, but by the end of the 1960s, its popularity had started to fade and Ary Lobo was forced to start moving from one city to another in search of work opportunities. Eventually he arrived in Fortaleza, where he lived until his death in 1980. Among the singers and songwriters to emerge from Pará in the 1950s, Ary Lobo's achieved a level of national fame unique for his time. As an interpreter of more than 700 songs, his records not only brought him great notoriety but also provided him with a lot of cash. "O nosso valor que venceu na Maravilhosa" (Our values that won in Rio)" was the headline the Paraense press used to describe Ary Lobo's conquest of the south. But what exactly
did his victory mean? For black and mulato artists coming from impoverished contingent of Brazilian society, the ability to play a leading role in the world of radio, recordings and live performances was a significant achievement. This makes it easier to understand why so much of the money Ary Lobo obtained from his musical success was spent on the conspicuous pleasures of being a star.

MEGARBANE, CHARIF - MARZIPAN
Habibi Funk is excited to share 'Marzipan,' their first full length contemporary release courtesy of Beirut's multi-instrumental producer phenomenon Charif Megarbane. The CD is a journey into Charif's styling, one he terms "Lebrary": a vision of Lebanon and the Mediterranean expressed via the prismatic sonics of library music. Drawing influence from artists that encapsulates the Habibi Funk sound such as Ziad Rahbani, Ahmed Malek and Issam Hajali, Charif translates these influences into a CD that is equally at home in '23. Following his previous (digital) release of the EP 'Tayara Warak' in 2022, 'Marzipan' is a sonic journey that seeks to capture the full scope of Charif Megarbane's habitus in 17 tracks. As a composer and producer, Megarbane touts hugely versatile, sometimes volatile musicianship... his 100+ catalogue of projects (including groups like the Cosmic Analog Ensemble, the Free Association Syndicate, Monumental Detail, etc.) features a huge domain of sonic direction. This collection was previously developed in Megarbane's own Hisstology which hosts a wealth of collaborative efforts. Now, Habibi Funk represents Megarbane under his own name. Megarbane finds a sonic through-line in his surrounding soundscapes as he draws on the chaotic energy of the crowded Beirut metropolis ('Souk El Ahad'), the warm atmosphere of the Lebanese countryside ('Chez Mounir'), or the lushness of a Mediterranean beach resort ('Portemilio'). Reflecting the aural composition of his direct surroundings into kaleidoscopic instrumentation provides a unique insight into how one musical phenomenon transposes sight into sound.

MESTRE CUPIJO E SEU RITMO - SIRIA
Repress! Cametá, a historical little Amazonian town on the shores of the river Tocantins, is the birthplace of the scorching music known as 'Siriá'; a cross pollination between the music of the inhabitants of the Quilombos, (a Brazilian hinterland settlement founded by escaped slaves of African origins) and the Indigenous People of the Amazon Rainforest. It is a breathing, pulsing, emphatic beat, and the modernised version of this local music, created by Mestre Cupijó, has been
igniting street parties and traditional festivals across the state of Pará (Northern Brazil) for decades. And at last in 2014, the combustible sound of Siriá will be celebrated internationally as the feverish, tropical sound of the summer! Mestre Cupijó modernized this style in the 70s. It's relatively obscure music for Brasil itself and total darkness for the rest of the world. This horns-driven optimistic music was made to drink and party and could become a serious contender for summer soundtrack of the year. Also with the worldcup in Brasil starting in June, it could, should and will set fire to a lot of dancefloors around the world. Master Cupijó, the pillar of Pará's festive culture, and a humble pop icon who was ushered prominently into the country's history books, passed away on September 25, 2012 at the age of 76. Analog Africa are ferociously proud and honoured to have the chance to present these carefully selected tracks from his 6 studio albums. They hope that his music captivates you with the magic and bewilderment that is has them.

SONIDO VERDE DE MOYOBAMBA - SONIDO VERDE DE MOYOBAMBA
Formed in 1980 by guitar prodigy Leonardo Vela Rodriguez, Sonido Verde De Moyobamba created some of the hardest, craziest cumbia to emerge from the Peruvian jungle. With distorted, surf-addled guitar facing off against lysergic organ and hyperactive tropical rhythms, Sonido Verde conjured the organic sound of the dense forests surrounding their hometown while riding their dance-party grooves to dizzying psychedelic peaks. Compiled by Analog Africa, 'Sonido Verde De Moyobamba' presents eight ultra-rare tracks of guitar and organ madness drawn from the band's five albums recorded for Discos Universal between 1981 and 1987. Pressed on sun yellow colored vinyl, housed in a screen-printed jacket and strictly limited to 2000 copies, Sonido Verde is a definitive trip into the heart of the jungle.

VARIOUS - JAMBU E OS MITICOS SONS DA AMAZONICA (2LP)
Repress! The city of Belém, in the Northern state of Pará in Brazil, has long been a hotbed of culture and musical innovation. Enveloped by the mystical wonder of the Amazonian forest and overlooking the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean, Belém consists of a diverse culture as vibrant and broad as the Amazon itself. Amerindians, Europeans, Africans - and the myriad combinations between these people - would mingle, and ingeniously pioneer musical genres such as carimbó, samba-de-cacete, siriá, bois-bumbás and bambiá. Although left in the margins of history, these exotic and mysteriously different sounds would thrive in a parallel universe of their own. Historically marginalized African religions like Umbanda, Candomblé and the Tambor de Mina, which had reached this side of the Atlantic through slaves from West Africa - especially from the Kingdom of Dahomey, currently the Republic of Benin - left an indelible stamp on the identity of Pará's music. They would give birth to lundun, banguê and carimbó, styles later modernised by Verequete, Orlando Pereira, Mestre Cupijó and Pinduca to great effect. The success of these pioneers would create a solid foundation for a myriad of modern bands in urban areas. 'Jambú' is an exhilarating, cinematic ride into the beauty and heart of what makes Pará's little corner of the Amazon tick. The hip swaying, frantic percussion and big band brass of the mixture of carimbó with siriá, the mystical melodies of Amazonian drums, the hypnotizing cadence of the choirs, and the deep, musical reverence to Afro-Brazilian religions, provided the soundtrack for sweltering nights in the city's club district. The music and tales found in 'Jambú' are stories of resilience, triumph against all odds, and, most importantly, of a city in the borders of the Amazon who has always known how to throw a damn good party.

VARIOUS - PERU SELVATICO (2LP)
'SONIC EXPEDITION INTO THE PERUVIAN AMAZON 1972-1986' - Less than a hundred miles inland from the capital City of Lima lies the great Peruvian jungle, an untamed land of impenetrable forests and endless winding rivers. In its isolated cities, cut off from the fashions of the capital, a unique style of music began to develop, inspired equally by the sounds of the surrounding forests, the roll of the mighty Amazon and Ucayali Rivers, and the rhythms of cumbia picked up from distant stations on transistor radios. With the arrival of electricity, a new generation of young musicians started plugging in their guitars and trading in their accordions for synthesizers: Amazonian cumbia was born. Powered by fast-paced timbale rhythms, driven by spidery, treble-damaged guitar lines, and drenched in bright splashes of organ, Amazonian cumbia was like a hyperactive distant cousin of surf music crossed with an all-night dance party in the heart of the forest. While many of the genre's greatest tracks were instrumental, and others were simple celebrations of life in the jungle, the goal of every song was to keep the party going. Radio stations in Lima remained unaware of the new electric sounds emanating from the jungle, but a handful of pioneering record producers ventured over the mountain passes to the cities of Tarapoto, Moyobamba, Pucallpa - even Iquitos, a city reachable only by boat or plane - and lured dozens of bands to the recording studios of the capital to lay down their best tracks. Although many became local hits, few were ever heard outside the Amazonian region... until now. With eighteen tracks from some of the greatest names in Amazonian cumbia, 'Perú Selvático' is both the improbable soundtrack to a beach party on a banks of the Amazon and a psychedelic safari into the sylvan mysteries of the Peruvian jungle.

VARIOUS - SATURNO 2000 (2LP)
'LA REBAJADA DE LOS SONIDEROS 1962-1983' - The first ever compilation dedicated to the history of the sonidero movement. Rebajada in Spanish means "to reduce, to lower". It's basically Mexican sonideros (sound-system operators) slowing down the beat of a cumbia to create a much more tangible music to dance to. The sonidero who brought Peruvian and Ecuadorian music to Mexico was the legendary Pablo Perea from Sonido Arco-Iris, and although his fingerprints are all over the compilation 'Saturno 2000,' this selection of songs in rebajada is exclusive to DJ Lengua, who compiled this album. With the exception of a few classics from Polibio Mayorga and La Sampuesana -the queen of all rebajadas- most of these songs were probably never performed as such before, let alone released. Rebajada started with two families of brothers -the Pereas and the Ortegas-
who travelled all over Latin America and returned to Mexico with heavy loads of records which they would sell to the various sonideros always on the lookout for new tunes. Colombian beats especially seemed to fit almost perfectly with the Mexican dance steps - but they were just a bit too fast. As a result some sonideros began experimenting with equipment, and Marco Antonio Cedillo of Sonido Imperial created a revolutionary pitching system that could slow records down to an extent other players could only dream about. And so rebajada was born... or so we thought. At the same time in north of the country, in Monterrey, sonidero Gabriel Dueñez almost got electrocuted by a short circuit that nearly set his record player on fire. As a result the platter started spinning in slow motion for the rest of the party, turning Cumbia into a different affair altogether. The youngsters went crazy for it and started harassing the sonidero with requests to record cassettes for them. Reluctant at first, Dueñez finally began recording a series of pirated cassettes called 'Rebajada' which included mainly Colombian cumbia and porro in slow-mo exclusively. Those tapes took the city by storm and turned rebajada into a celebrated and defiant movement of the youth.
Of course it would not be a Mexican urban legend if it didn't include dramaturgical elements, and so for nearly 30 years, until this day and probably for ever, both cities have been arguing and claiming ownership the creation of rebajada for themselves. But sonidera Joyce Musicolor, who never has time for such trivial arguments, got straight to the point: "Rebajada, and the equipment to perform it, is from here [Mexico City] but it was Monterrey that popularised it."

VARIOUS - ZAR: SONGS FOR THE SPIRITS (2LP)
Zar is a possession cult practised on the outskirts of the rapidly modernising societies of North Africa and the Middle East. It's a phenomenon that crosses not only geographical boundaries but also those determined by the rational mind. The boundaries here are not clearly defined; multiple worlds intertwine. Zar can't be enclosed in a single frame or functional model. If needed it could be perceived as a healing practice. However, the first stage of dealing with illness is always diagnosis, which in zar is made using music. Songs and rhythms form a bridge between the two worlds. Every zar spirit has its own song. Consecutive rhythms are used to establish which spirit is being dealt with, and the initiate responds with rhythmic body movements called tafqir. The hypnotic rhythm increases until, usually about 30 minutes in, the dance turns into a trance in which the dancer's personality merges completely with that of the spirit. JuJu Sounds travelled to Egypt to experience, record and share with you this well hidden culture. This album presents all three varieties of zar still practised today. Hypnotic rhythms and mesmerising melodies were recorded not only in studio but also live during hadra - weekly zar ceremonies. Sound recordings and in depth liner notes offer absolutely unique insight into zar micro-communities in the Nile Delta and Cairo. Each of them is slightly different, but they all function as self-sufficient systems, remaining practically invisible in mainstream culture. 'Zar: Songs For The Spirits' is the second production of independent micro-label JuJu Sounds. The project focuses on building bridges between musicians from marginalised communities and niche audiences from around the world. The mission of JuJu Sounds is to revive valuable musical ecosystems, not just to sell exotic products.

Historically marginalized African religions like Umbanda, Candomblé and the Tambor de Mina, which had reached this side of the Atlantic through slaves from West Africa - especially from the Kingdom of Dahomey, currently the Republic of Benin - left an indelible stamp on the identity of Pará's music. They would give birth to lundun, banguê and carimbó, styles later modernised by Verequete, Orlando Pereira, Mestre Cupijó and Pinduca to great effect. The success of these pioneers would create a solid foundation for a myriad of modern bands in urban areas. 'Jambú' is an exhilarating, cinematic ride into the beauty and heart of what makes Pará's little corner of the Amazon tick. The hip swaying, frantic percussion and big band brass of the mixture of carimbó with siriá, the mystical melodies of Amazonian drums, the hypnotizing cadence of the choirs, and the deep, musical reverence to Afro-Brazilian religions, provided the soundtrack for sweltering nights in the city's club district. The music and tales found in 'Jambú' are stories of resilience, triumph against all odds, and, most importantly, of a city in the borders of the Amazon who has always known how to throw a damn good party.

VARIOUS - LA LOCURA DE MACHUCA 1975-1980
'La Locura De Machuca' is the story of one man's bizarre odyssey into Colombia's coastal music underground, and the wild, hypnotic sounds he helped bring up to the surface. One night in 1975, a successful tax lawyer named Rafael Machuca had his mind blown in Barranquilla's Plaza de los Musicos. Overnight he went from a high ranking position in the Columbian revenue authority to visionary production guru of the newly formed record label that bore his name, Discos Machuca, and for the next six years he devoted his life to releasing some of the strangest, most experimental Afro Psychedelia Cumbia and Champeta ever produced. The Colombian music industry was thriving in the mid-seventies, but while homegrown bolero and vallenato tunes were doing well on the charts, it was imported African records that were setting crowds on fire at the picos - the sound-systems that fuelled neighbourhood parties - and wherever those records were played there were always a handful of groups who were inspired to plug traditional Cumbia directly into the electric currents coming from across the Atlantic.
It was these obscure bands, who fused Colombian and African rhythms with the swirling organs and psychedelic guitars of underground rock, that fired Machuca's imagination. While the label made its money releasing popular hits by legends such as Alejandro Dura'n and Ani'bal Vela'squez, that money was poured back into a unique run of experimental releases by fringe artists such as La Banda Africana, King Somalie, Conjunto Barbacoa, and Abelar do Carbono, one of the godfathers of Champeta Criolla. When Machuca couldn't find groups to realise his particular vision, he simply created them himself. Drawing on a fearsome roster of musicians associated with the label, he assembled bands that lasted only as long as it took to record an album, and unleashed the results - complete with arrestingly unusual album covers - under a series of different names such as Samba Negra or El Grupo Folclórico. This unorthodox approach led his longtime recording engineer, Eduardo Dávila, to describe Machuca's productions as the "B-Movies of Colombian music." The story of Doctor Machuca and his eccentric exploits tells of one of Colombia's most atypical and peculiar record companies; a defining pillar of Afro-Caribbean psychedelia. His productions have come to represent the roots of Champeta and set the pedigree standards for Afro and Costeño avant-garde. The seventeen tracks on 'La Locura De Machuca', harvested from the darkest, strangest corners of the Discos Machuca catalogue, sound like little else recorded before or since.

VARIOUS - PERU SELVATICO
'SONIC EXPEDITION INTO THE PERUVIAN AMAZON 1972-1986' - Less than a hundred miles inland from the capital City of Lima lies the great Peruvian jungle, an untamed land of impenetrable forests and endless winding rivers. In its isolated cities, cut off from the fashions of the capital, a unique style of music began to develop, inspired equally by the sounds of the surrounding forests, the roll of the mighty Amazon and Ucayali Rivers, and the rhythms of cumbia picked up from distant stations on transistor radios. With the arrival of electricity, a new generation of young musicians started plugging in their guitars and trading in their accordions for synthesizers: Amazonian cumbia was born. Powered by fast-paced timbale rhythms, driven by spidery, treble-damaged guitar lines, and drenched in bright splashes of organ, Amazonian cumbia was like a hyperactive distant cousin of surf music crossed with an all-night dance party in the heart of the forest. While many of the genre's greatest tracks were instrumental, and others were simple celebrations of life in the jungle, the goal of every song was to keep the party going. Radio stations in Lima remained unaware of the new electric sounds emanating from the jungle, but a handful of pioneering record producers ventured over the mountain passes to the cities of Tarapoto, Moyobamba, Pucallpa - even Iquitos, a city reachable only by boat or plane - and lured dozens of bands to the recording studios of the capital to lay down their best tracks. Although many became local hits, few were ever heard outside the Amazonian region... until now. With eighteen tracks from some of the greatest names in Amazonian cumbia, 'Perú Selvático' is both the improbable soundtrack to a beach party on a banks of the Amazon and a psychedelic safari into the sylvan mysteries of the Peruvian jungle.

VARIOUS - SATURNO 2000
'LA REBAJADA DE LOS SONIDEROS 1962-1983' - The first ever compilation dedicated to the history of the sonidero movement. Rebajada in Spanish means "to reduce, to lower". It's basically Mexican sonideros (sound-system operators) slowing down the beat of a cumbia to create a much more tangible music to dance to. The sonidero who brought Peruvian and Ecuadorian music to Mexico was the legendary Pablo Perea from Sonido Arco-Iris, and although his fingerprints are all over the compilation 'Saturno 2000,' this selection of songs in rebajada is exclusive to DJ Lengua, who compiled this album. With the exception of a few classics from Polibio Mayorga and La Sampuesana -the queen of all rebajadas- most of these songs were probably never performed as such before, let alone released. Rebajada started with two families of brothers -the Pereas and the Ortegas-
who travelled all over Latin America and returned to Mexico with heavy loads of records which they would sell to the various sonideros always on the lookout for new tunes. Colombian beats especially seemed to fit almost perfectly with the Mexican dance steps - but they were just a bit too fast. As a result some sonideros began experimenting with equipment, and Marco Antonio Cedillo of Sonido Imperial created a revolutionary pitching system that could slow records down to an extent other players could only dream about. And so rebajada was born... or so we thought. At the same time in north of the country, in Monterrey, sonidero Gabriel Dueñez almost got electrocuted by a short circuit that nearly set his record player on fire. As a result the platter started spinning in slow motion for the rest of the party, turning Cumbia into a different affair altogether. The youngsters went crazy for it and started harassing the sonidero with requests to record cassettes for them. Reluctant at first, Dueñez finally began recording a series of pirated cassettes called 'Rebajada' which included mainly Colombian cumbia and porro in slow-mo exclusively. Those tapes took the city by storm and turned rebajada into a celebrated and defiant movement of the youth.
Of course it would not be a Mexican urban legend if it didn't include dramaturgical elements, and so for nearly 30 years, until this day and probably for ever, both cities have been arguing and claiming ownership the creation of rebajada for themselves. But sonidera Joyce Musicolor, who never has time for such trivial arguments, got straight to the point: "Rebajada, and the equipment to perform it, is from here [Mexico City] but it was Monterrey that popularised it."
CD comes with a full color 28-pages booklet.

VARIOUS - ZAR: SONGS FOR THE SPIRITS
Last copies! Zar is a possession cult practised on the outskirts of the rapidly modernising societies of North Africa and the Middle East. It's a phenomenon that crosses not only geographical boundaries but also those determined by the rational mind. The boundaries here are not clearly defined; multiple worlds intertwine. Zar can't be enclosed in a single frame or functional model. If needed it could be perceived as a healing practice. However, the first stage of dealing with illness is always diagnosis, which in zar is made using music. Songs and rhythms form a bridge between the two worlds. Every zar spirit has its own song. Consecutive rhythms are used to establish which spirit is being dealt with, and the initiate responds with rhythmic body movements called tafqir. The hypnotic rhythm increases until, usually about 30 minutes in, the dance turns into a trance in which the dancer's personality merges completely with that of the spirit. JuJu Sounds travelled to Egypt to experience, record and share with you this well hidden culture. This album presents all three varieties of zar still practised today. Hypnotic rhythms and mesmerising melodies were recorded not only in studio but also live during hadra - weekly zar ceremonies. Sound recordings and in depth liner notes offer absolutely unique insight into zar micro-communities in the Nile Delta and Cairo. Each of them is slightly different, but they all function as self-sufficient systems, remaining practically invisible in mainstream culture. 'Zar: Songs For The Spirits' is the second production of independent micro-label JuJu Sounds. The project focuses on building bridges between musicians from marginalised communities and niche audiences from around the world. The mission of JuJu Sounds is to revive valuable musical ecosystems, not just to sell exotic products.

VELASQUEZ, ANIBAL -Y SU CONJUNTO- - MAMBO LOCO
Having built its reputation on releasing long-forgotten gems from 70s Africa, especially Benin (including two releases by Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou), Analog Africa is moving its focus to another continent altogether for release number 7: "Mambo Loco" is a compilation of tracks by Anibal Velasquez, the legendary accordionist from Barranquilla in Colombia. In fact, when not crate-digging in Africa, Analog Africa founder Samy Ben Redjeb can often be found in Colombia. In the summer of 1952 Anibal Velasquez walked into the studios of Discos Atlantic for his first recording session. What nobody knew at the time was that this 16-year-old accordionist was about to become a living legend of tropical music by creatign a crazy blend of Guaracha, Pompo, Guarija, Cumbia and fast African beats - the perfect stuff for the annual carnival of his hometown Barranquilla. Velasquez' eclectic mix would ultimately make him one of Colombia's most innovative and productive musicians, adored in Venezuela, Mexico and beyond. The tracks selected here have become powerful tools during Analog Africa DJ sets. Use them with caution!
