TIME CYCLE

Electronic library album from 1984, in my opinion better than the average 80s libraries. James Asher plays the following instruments: Roland CSQ600, Roland Jupiter 8, Moog Prodigy synths, Washburn bass, Hyaman drum kit and Linn Drum. Delightful sheet.

7 DIAS DE ENERO

Quite rare & interesting soundtrack from a Spanish thriller film I settled down to recently with a glass of mango and some hemp. I don't know too much about the composer Nicholas Peyrac or Roland Romanelli who arranged it, but I can say that it is a wonderful, fully replenished zoot musik. Released by Apolo Records in 1979. Exclusive right here.

FOREST OF EVIL

I've been on an anarchist musik tip this week. Browsing through a catalogue that was forwarded to me by Underground Reverie, I came across some proper gems. I was somewhat taken aback by this terrifying cue music for horror, mystery, drama, suspense & mystery. The pieces are composed by Eric Allen and Frank Reidy. Enjoy

WONDER

L'Imparfaite - the word that comes to mind when I think of Peter Reno's music, a somewhat earlier version of Cylob or Mark Cheyne. Imperfect, yet broad, lush and panoramic in so many ways. Perfect.

DMX KREW - FREEESH

Two tunes from one of my favourite producers- and one of the nicest blokes in the game. Ed DMX or DMX Krew - as he likes to call himself - has produced over 5 studio albums for Richard D James' [AFX Twin] Rephlex imprint over the years. One of these was an album composed of recordings that were first aired on Breakin' Records but taken together and edited to be put out on Rephlex in 1997. It's an amazing album, where synthpop and acid reign supreme. Classic 303 sounds are mashed with some killer vocals, performed by Ed himself. One is "Ready to Roll", a 303-heavy native floor filler whilst "I'm All Alone" is a little bit darker and carries all the texture of a classic model 500 track. 


Enjoy it here on .flac!

FUKAMACHI  - INTRODUCING "PONTA" MURAKAMI

Produced by Jun Fukumachi, who also plays keyboards and moog & arp synthesizers. This is a really crazy record, plenty of experimentation around percussive sounds (timpani, gongs, cymbals, Japanese drums) often processed by electronic devices. This is a fantastic example of the kind of early records that explored power jazz funk territories.

MILKWAYS GALACTIC REACTION

The members of Milkways are not always clear, as no information is provided on the sleeve but rumour on the greater internet has it that its alternated between three and four members. Trax on the Galactic Reaction LP are listed as Rody Sainroch & Regis Dupre in any case, with contributions from Didier Guinochet and Phillipe Pages. If you like spacedroid disco gems, then you will -gasm over this. Enjoy!

SELECTED SOUND III

Sup folks - sorry about my prolonged absence - I was in hiding pre-leapday so I could avoid my girlfriend and a certain leapday tradition. Anyway I'm back, and if you enjoyed the valentines day Selected Sound library bonanza, then you will most certainly love this. It comes courtesy of Orchestra Mladen Gutesha's Metropolitan Sounds and it is filled with amazing funky brass and reed arrangements with a large strings group. With some jazz fusion musik and a pinch of easy listening - Metro-sounds is perfect if, like me, you are engaged in acts of rapprochement post leapday.
