Lalli Köyliö - 28-Nov-05 02:21 AM
This is another hilarious pseudonyme used on FCQ records. According to a legend a finnish peasant named Lalli killed bishop Henrik on the ice of Lake Köyliö somewhere in the 12th century and this is where the name comes from.
Various - Sao Benitez Elemental EP Two (Air & Water) - 20-Jul-05 01:22 PM
This is my first acquaintance with Ben Mitchells other works than Mr. Hermano and I can only say wow!
The first track "Toda Menina Baiana" knocks you off, being not only up-to-date but still preserving a respect to the batucada. "Que Alegria" is more of what youd expect from the Mr. Hermano project, but the track gives delicately room to the singers voice and is pure listening pleasure.
"As Famosas Gargalhadas Do Yuka" could as well be a recorded by Azymuth (one of my brazilian favourites) and has hip scat vocals backed with a solid and steady bassline. The last track lets Ive Mendes voice float over the latin house background giving more of a "summer house"-feeling (not in a bad way, though).
One of the best records Ive bought for a while!
Gerardo Frisina - Ad Lib - 02-Jun-05 03:17 PM
Even though the cover dont say so, the track "Friendly Night" is actually a version of Cal Tjaders "Triste", a nice one though. "Descarga" is IMHO the true gem on this record, very traditional latin jazz with a housy scent.
Gerardo Frisina - Gerardo Frisina Blends Sabu Martinez & Sahib Shihab - 05-May-05 05:41 PM
By far the finest mashup-like stuff Ive ever heard. Gerardo Frisina gives Sabu Martinez unreleased track a perfect treatment sampling Sahib Shihabs "Seed". Especially the B-side is as groovy as can be.
Five Corners Quintet, The - Trading Eights - 04-May-05 05:20 AM
The first 10" by Five Corners Quintet. Actually this is not 100% live (the same thing with Devil Kicks / Three Corners), the drums and basses are sampled and the names of the drummer and the bassist printed on the record are fictious.
