Jack DeJohnette - Works - 11-Jul-09 08:00 AM
Contemporary unlimited amount of available tools of all sort most gravitating around computed data and elaborated software with countless plug-ins providing an infinite amount of possibilities to music creators these days, to get what?
Unimaginative dance formula copycat crap emulating what could eventually be called music unable to reach any depth in feelings or emotions (if you kids arent on drug and even then). Jack Dejohnette concluding this compilation of works here just need a piano and a friend with a mandolin another with a bass, nothing more to prove brillianty that not much gear is needed to deliver. Blissfull but also melancolic -and- very nice sounding compositions, able to transport you off gravity all the same. Computer boffins tweaking muzak complaining they miss this or that plug-in or software or special device to achive what they envision are missing the point and are to ridicule, for they just cannot play, not even in a non academic just playful way, as a three chords New-Wave riff could suffice. Enjoying this release of deep music from a land outside 4/4 totalitarism is a sweet joy.

Robert Nacken - It Could Be So Easy - 19-Jan-09 07:27 PM
Great fan of the "majomin ep" and vinyl records i was annoyed of the non existence of this album in vinyl format.
Years after its release on this japanese label, i crossed El in cyberspace, this very kind and talented music creator residing in the art and music city of Kôln. one day out of some irregular discogs direct messaging conversations i ended up mentioning my love for Robert Nackens music and my sadness to never getting the chance to listen to this release in my format of predilection, and as i nearly never buy cds… El was so kind and send me a tape copy of the album and, it is now one of the tape i listen the most at night!

Although i first gave it a few listen and went into other sounds the tape came back inside my player and became one of my favourite and most played late night cassettes, for after a few repeated inattentive listening i realised soon after giving it more attention that Robert Nackens new latin version of "highpriestess" is amazing, this but in fact all the pieces on this release are. The album title track is not exactly easy listening but delicate, sweet but also deep and melancholic, oh and "wont be" would be so perfect on a 12" with the original and a few additional mixes or any of Robert Nackens new productions. Each tracks have a defined very subtle depth of their own and they are following in moods each other so smoothly that one wont even notice the hidden messages for each pieces at first. There is even some modal jazz like leaks in one and a lot of non tacky latin music feel in most. This is the kind of album that grow on you due to this elusive something. Robert Nacken as i write this is still an overlooked artist and an ignored genius (although Bernd Friedmann and Marcus Schmickler certainly know how to put to use his great value), i wish he would be permitted to release more and more of his own creations and ill do magick if necessary to actualise that in the new aeon.
Also and again, this album still deserve a vinyl format release and i really dont understand why it hasnt yet been done in Germany or in the land of the rising zun. Home taping is long gone far from killing music and i admit i will acquire the cd if i just find it for lack of a better format (although i wont ever hunt for a cd but if a vinyl version comes out ill order 3 or 4 copies, one for myself the other to share with friends just as El did for me in his mail-art way).

Els real name undisclosed for duplication rights issues. Thank you El, gracias Robert Nacken.

Various - South Of Market EP. - 18-Jan-09 09:25 PM
Although some may prefer the two Repeat pieces on the Side B, the killer track here in my view is Soon on the A Side by Plaid and Jonah Sharp teaming together for something displayed here as Techno and IDM but that I could name Liquid Funk if it hadnt been later taken by a sub-genre of Drum n Bass 5 years later, so lets reveal this as a prime example of Liquid Jazz-Funk while we are at it!
Give an attentive listen to the stabs and keys or even to that Electro-Funk sounding bass-line and now tell me there aint no Jazz feel in it but it is all so subtly immersed in an abyss of electronic sounds, those usually found in Ambient, Techno and Electronica to excite an out of gravity sonic voyage (the later term used to refrain from the snobby IDM tag, like if dancing in itself was a stupid act) that some may forget the sparkling Jazz aspect of this liquid piece of music and forget that its not only Techno we have here.
This piece is Dolphin Music of the highest order, (sadly) standing the test of time apparently longer than the label that released it in the first place. Now the two tracks from the B side arent bad at all, just more mellow and way less lively in feel but quality dishes nonetheless.
Oh and dont worry pals, I wont change and edit the displayed Styles and add Jazz or Funk to it, lets believe its just your typical UK IDM Techno track, like if Jonah never touched a drum set.

King Curtis - The New Scene Of King Curtis - 16-Dec-08 02:23 AM
King Curtis, an influential and greatly in-demand R & B tenor-man, made relatively few jazz dates in his career…
Maybe, maybe but this album is a jazz gemstone, catchy but relaxed, sometimes smooth but never slack, always so naturally flowing;
nearly all tunes were written by himself and these are amazing bop or contemporary jazz piece.
His take on "Willow Weep For Me" is one of the most cool and greatest Ive ever heard.
Those who know or love King Curtis mainly for his many R & B and soul music outputs could be surprised but even non jazz
lovers around appreciated when put to test.
This records beauty never fades in time, the contrary effect maybe true.

Cure, The - A Forest - 06-Mar-08 03:51 AM
The Cure must have been listening to "Gut Feeling" and certainly its intro from the USA band Devo found on the "Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!" album to come up with this cult tune named "A Forest". A song still played nowadays from mp3 computer jukeboxes in some of your most boring inner-city bars…
Funny inspiration or intensive listening followed years later by creative rehearsals? Lack of sampler budget or discrete plagiarism? Watherver, both of these tunes are fine to me but the two years younger Devo way is certainly more unfixed.
