New one from Aiden Ayers from his Public Possession debut LP out on October
Nice that. Enjoyed his ‘Mr Goods’ LP from a couple of years ago too
This is fantastic - thanks for the tip off @Balearic_Clapton
I did check this for review consideration but only really loved a few tracks - one for the playlists for me.
Great artist on a top label - looking forward to it.
Remotely meets locally recorded, collaged jazz LPs seem to be a thing these days, & when they’re as good as the new LP from Takuro Okada for Newhere or the recent Rich Ruth LP I’m all in. On Betsu No Jika, Okada has arranged improvised sessions by an international A-list of fellow musical explorers to create one of 2022s finest spiritual jazz LPs.
As I look out the window at the grey skies rolling in from the Atlantic for their autumnal residency, confronted by news of compounding geopolitical, climatic & financial events out of my control that I fear bode for rare hardships on the near horizon, this achingly beautiful, slowcore meditation on loss by Lean Year for Western Vinyl, somehow seems like the perfect soundtrack for my melancholic morning; for amongst the despair & angst also shines that light we should never lose site of.
Setting their machines to hypnotise, & with some algorithmic wind from machine music pioneer Laurie Spiegel’s classic Music Mouse software, cooling their newly created, consciousness expanding lysergic synthscape, Bitchin Bajas weave a mesmerising New Age wonderland for Drag City. It’s a magical place where ideas, hopes and dreams synergise & flourish, shading out all fears & hostility.
Same. The one I bought was Suede. Been playing it a lot.
‘I wonder if I take you home’ amongst others perhaps?
I keep waiting for a full on Hip House revival but there are just a few glimmers of hope a year so thought I’d drop the latest here:
Sonic sands endlessly shift at a granular level on the whim of OdNu’s guitar & six string triggered synths, as a seemingly endless array of micro sounds blink like fire flies all around the Dolby Atmos surround soundscape on this utterly mesmerising & magical electroacoustic ambient LP via Audiobulb, & available in immersive audio format here.
Im absolutely here for any more examples, I still love that sound.
Legowelt
This is ace. Cheers!
Rhtyhm is a Dancer?
New Sampa The Great “As Above So Below”. Giving it a first listen and it is brilliant. Doesn’t stick to one style throughout and is very unique. Brilliant album.
Two of us is not quite a revival but it’s a solid start - I’ll keep posting what I find here!
This is genius and another great Wolfers stylistic wander.
I’ve actually just kicked off a Slow Dub playlist with a modern focus:
Go deep withAbstract Black as he takes the one man band concept to a next level Arkestral dimension, single handedly uniting Afro-American music’s southern hemisphere roots with a parallel dimensional hip hop jazz tape present before nonchalantly improvising his own tangential Afrofuturistic path for Banana Tapes.
