Badlands (1973) Τέρενς Μάλικ

Πόσο γουστάρω την σκηνή που ο Μάρτιν Σιν και η Σίσι Σπέισεκ χορεύουν το “love is strange” των Mickey & Sylvia!!!

Το Badlands , με τον Μάρτιν Σιν και τη Σίσι Σπέισεκ, είναι ένα γλυκό και συνάμα βίαιο οδοιπορικό στην ταραγμένη ψυχή δύο σφόδρα αντικοινωνικών και ερωτευμένων νέων, που προβαίνουν σε αλλεπάλληλες δολοφονίες. Δύο φυγάδες που σκηνοθετούν την αυτοκτονία τους, σκορπούν τον θάνατο και κυνηγιούνται αλύπητα ως το προδιαγεγραμμένο τους τέλος. Μία ελεγεία θανάτου, μυστηρίου, παράνοιας και αγάπης στα υπέροχα τοπία της Νότιας Ντακότα και της Μοντάνα, ένα διαλεκτικό ξαδερφάκι του Bonnie and Clyde.

The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976) Τζων Κασσαβέτης Κόσμο Βιττέλλι (Ben Gazzara): Τώρα Τέντυ εμπρός στη δουλειά! Πρέπει κανείς να δουλεύει σκληρά. Να μπορεί να ζει άνετα! Ξέρεις Τέντυ τι ξέρει ο καθένας; Ξέρεις αν πηγαίνει στην Κόλαση ή στον Παράδεισο; Κοροϊδεύουν τον εαυτό τους! Μια βεβαιότητα μόνο υπάρχει: Να ζεις άνετα Τέντυ! Να έχεις την άνεση του να ξοδεύεις!

Ο Κόσμο Βιττέλλι αγέρωχος, λιγόλογος —βετεράνος του πολέμου στην Κορέα, έχει σχεδόν ξεχάσει πως χρωστάει ένα μεγάλο ποσό στα χαρτιά (25000$). Διευθύνει ένα κλαμπ ονόματι Crazy Horse West με στριπτήζ στην Καλιφόρνια (Los Angeles). Προσπαθεί να έλθει σε ισορροπία με τον εαυτό του όμως το παλιό πάθος του για τη χαρτοπαιξία δεν τον αφήνει. Σ έναν κόσμο καθόλου ‘αγγελικά πλασμένος’ αλλά που θέλει ο ίδιος να τον κάνει π.χ. οι κοπέλες στο κέντρο δεν γδύνονται αλλά επιδίδονται σε σατυρικά σκετς μαζί με τον κ. Εξεζητημένο – καθόλου βέβαια εξεζητημένος γιατί η απόδοση ενός τέτοιου χαρακτήρα προϋποθέτει στιλ και φινέτσα. Ο τύπος της λέσχης – ιδιοκτήτης γραφείου στοιχημάτων, δεν αστειεύεται θέλει αμέσως να του ξεπληρώσει το χρέος. Σαν εναλλακτική του προτείνουν να σκοτώσει για λογαριασμό τους έναν Κινέζο που έχει ένα γραφείο στοιχημάτων. Και τα δυο σε torrent link με ελληνικούς υποτίτλους.

Sven Libaek - The Set 1969 (Philips)

Label : Philips

Value :

Based on the novel written by Australian actor Roger Ward (Mad Max, Stone, Turkey Shoot) The Set was a highly controversial film upon its release in 1970 in which it's alternate attitudes towards sexuality challenged the traditional mores of the mainstream society. Scored by the highly respected and unique jazz original Sven Libaek, the music has also been unjustly overlooked from any recent focus on Australian cinema. Incorporating elements of Baroque and sunshine pop as well as moody mod jazz, The Set is an incredible timeðpiece of Swinging Sydney. Featuring Libaek regulars and top rank Australian jazz players, (Don Burrows, John Sangster, Errol Buddle etc).

Batteaux - Batteaux 1973 (Columbia)

Label : Columbia

Value :

Cult folk funk opus from two Hawaiian sons of a dolphin whisperer, this self-titled album was written and released 45 years ago but still sounds just as calming, alluring and mystical as ever. The dreamy flutes and staggered tempo of "Wake Me In The Morning", the gutsy ballad and soaring strings of "Joe Arnold", the staccato bluesy pop of "Katy" and the positively Balearic classic "High Tide"... Moments like this will always resonate. The only album the Batteaux brothers ever released, relatively rare and prone to bootlegs, this is the first official re-release in over five years and a great chance to catch up.

Maya - Lait De Coco 1987 (Marina Media)

Label : Marina Media

Value :

Maya's "Lait De Coco", a deliciously glassy-eyed chunk of mid-'80s Gallic pop with a decidedly Balearic bent, has recently undergone something of a revival is serious selector circles. Since copies of original 1987 7" copies have been known to change hands for eye-watering sums online, Attic Salt Discs has done the decent thing and offered up this tasty 10" reissue. Particularly alluring is the flipside Dub, which in true '80s instrumental style flits between spine-tingling ambient passages, delay-laden vocal selections, twinkling piano motifs and an even more glassy-eyed take on the warm and loved-up backing track. That said, the sax-laden A-side vocal version, the epitome of soft-focus European synth-pop goodness from the period, is also superb.

Elysian Spring - Glass Flowers 1969 (Despa)

Label : Despa

Value :

A very cool record – and one with a sound that's as dreamy as the group's name – a laidback mix of vibes, saxes, piano, and percussion – all used in ways that are airy and open, and very different than most other underground jazz of the time! The group hail from New England, and there's maybe some of the inventiveness of Stark Reality in their style – even if the overall sound is much more acoustic, but still has a slightly fuzzy feel via the production! Instrumentation shifts from track to track – and these guys can definitely swing when they want, too – which they do so more as the album moves on creating these rough-edged groovers that are unlike anything else we can think of.

Ziad Rahbani ‎– Abu Ali 1978 (Zida)

Label : Zida

Value :

Ziad Rahbani is a cultural icon in Lebanon. The musician, pianist and producer is also a renowned playwright and a political activist, one of the most important exponent of the lebanese left-wing counterculture to emerge from the 70s. ? Coming out of an illustrious artistic dynasty (his father is the famous composer and musician Assi Rahbani, member of group The Rahbani Brothers and his mother is the legendary Middle East Diva, Fairuz), Ziad Rahbani started his music career during his late teens, composing music for his mother.
Rahbani quickly spread his wings further. He started producing his own music during the early 70s and released records under his own name at 17. Among these was "Abu Ali" recorded in Greece at the EMI Studios in Athens in 1978 with a full orchestra (there he also recorded his mother's album "Wahdon") and released it as a limited run EP for the lebanese market. Legend has it that the album was only pressed at 500 unit hence its rarity.
The result is a fabulous New York-meets-Beyrouth Disco exctasy developing over two 13-min tracks and one of the most collectible albums on the international dance and disco scene which Wewantsounds is happy to finally make available.

The Deirdre Wilson Tabac - The Deirdre Wilson Tabac 1970 (RCA)

Label : RCA

Value :

A beautiful bit of funky rocking soul – and the one and only album by the Deirdre Wilson Tabac – a group whose name is as strange as their grooves are funky! The group are best known for their well-compiled track "I Can't Keep From Cryin Sometimes" – an uptempo jazzy gem that mixes skipping Hammond with soaring vocals and some really great horns – and the rest of this set has a very similar feel – one that blends jazz rock with more soulful vocals, in a groove that's totally unique! Sonny Casella wrote, arranged, and produced the record – and he's also the drummer in the group, so there's keen attention to rhythms on all tracks.
