Reality - Reality 1972 (Blue Elephant)

Label : Blue Elephant

Value :

Massive grooves from a very unique group! These guys play guitar and percussion all at once – in a flurry of fast grooves that rip away tremendously, but with a style that's still plenty darn earthy! There's definitely a bit of a global influence in the music overall, but the sound comes out as pure funk in the end – tightly focused, and very jamming – but not in a way that's ever too overindulgent. Some tracks feature vocals by singers Leslie Vos and Renold Shearman, and instrumentation includes guitars, organ, timbales, and congas.

Medusa ‎- Medusing 2003 (Ikaros Music)

Label : Ikaros Music

Value  :

1979 Λίγο πριν την ίδρυση των θρυλικών Lumbago και για ένα μικρό διάστημα παράλληλα με αυτούς ο Θανάσης Ζλατάνος είχε δημιουργήσει μια πολυεθνική μπάντα με εξαίρετους μουσικούς την οποία ονόμασε Medusa.
Ένα κράμα rock - jazz - funk που έγινε ιδιαίτερα αγαπητό στο μικρό χρόνο παρουσίας του στο Όσλο της Νορβηγίας.
Ο τραγουδιστής John Dunne απο Ιρλανδία έβγαζε τα προς τα ζειν σαν μουσικός του δρόμου , όπου και τον άκουσε ο Θανάσης και μαγεύτηκε απ την φωνή με τις Van Morisson καταβολές. Έπαιξαν για ένα μικρο διάστημα μαζί και λίγο αργότερα προστέθηκαν οι Per Sveinsson Νορβηγός στο μπάσο, ο Luis Gambolini Αργεντινός στα ντραμς και ο Νορβηγός Bengt Jensen στα πλήκτρα.
Οι ηχογραφήσεις έγιναν στο στούντιο που εργαζόταν ο Sveinsson σαν ηχολήπτης το 1979.

Emanuelle e gli ultimi cannibali (original title) 1977

Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals (Italian: Emanuelle e gli Ultimi Cannibali) is a 1977 Italian cannibal film directed by Joe D'Amato. The film involves Emanuelle (Laura Gemser) a photojournalist who discovers a woman in a mental hospital who is a cannibal who has tattoos of an Amazonian tribe on her skin. Along with Professor Mark Lester (Gabriele Tinti), the two travel to the Amazon with a team to discover the source of the long-thought-extinct tribe that still practices cannibalism today.
The film is an entry in the Black Emanuelle series and features elements of cannibal films which had just gained popularity after the release of Ultimo mondo cannibale (1977). D'Amato referred it in an interview as "a reasonable commercial success, especially abroad"

 

Plot

 

In a New York City psychiatric ward, photojournalist Emanuelle learns about a girl there who was found in the Amazon rainforest. Emanuelle discovers that she appears to have been raised by the Apiaca, a tribe of cannibals thought to be lost. She contacts Professor Mark Lester, the curator at the American Museum of Natural History, and persuades him to come with her to the Amazon.
Upon arrival at the Amazon, they are joined by Isabel Wilks, the daughter of the organizer of the expedition, and Sister Angela, who is going upriver to join a mission. Attacked by a snake, Emanuelle is rescued by hunter Donald Mackenzie, who joins the group together with his wife Maggie and their guide Salvatore and informs Sister Angela that her convent has been attacked by what they presume to be cannibals, and that no survivors remain.
The group continues into the jungle, now being watched by natives in hiding. They find a severed head on a stake, and Sister Angela disappears to be found impaled the next morning. Meanwhile, the Mackenzies attempt to leave the group in an attempt to find a crashed plane containing diamonds. As they stumble upon the plane, they are attacked by a tribe of cannibals. Donald and Maggie are kidnapped. The rest of the group only arrive in time to see it happen. They attempt to find the cannibal village. Upon their arrival, the cannibals kill Salvatore and capture Isabel. Mark and Emanuelle manage to escape only to watch the Mackenzies being brutally murdered and Isabel impregnated by the tribe in preparation for sacrifice. To save Isabel, Emanuelle paints tribal symbols on her body to convince the natives that she is their water goddess, and carries Isabel away into the water where Mark is waiting in a speedboat. Shot at by the natives with spears, Mark, Emanuelle and Isabel still manage to escape unharmed.

Lulu with Johnny Harris would go onto winning Eurovision in 1969 with “Boom Bang A Bang” and Johnny was signed to a three album deal with the newly formed U.K arm of Warner Bros.

Peter Herbolzheimer Rhythm Combination & Brass ‎- Masterpieces 1995 (MPS)

Label : MPS

Value :


To 1969 ο τρομπονίστας Peter Herbolzheimer δημιουργεί τους Rhythm Combination & Brass. Μια super μπάντα με 5 τρομπέτες : llan Botschinsky, Art Farmer, Dusko Goykovich , Palle Mikkelborg, Ack van Rooyen, ένα σαξόφωνο και φλάουτο : Herb Geller, τρία τρομπόνια : Jiggs Whigham, Rudi Fuesers και Peter Herbolzheimer, έναν οργανίστα : Dieter Reith, τέσσερις μπασίστες : Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen, Peter Trunk , Jimmy Woode jr. και Heinz Kitschenberg (E-bass), ντραμς : Tony Inzalaco, τρεις περκασιονίστες : Horst Muhlbradt, Hermann Mutscheler, Joe Harris και ένα σιτάρ και κιθάρα : Sigfried Schwab! Κατα καιρούς έβαζε και κάποιους έξτρα μουσικούς, κιθάρα η δυο πλήκτρα.
Για μένα η πιο δημιουργική περίοδος του Peter Herbolzheimer ειναι αυτή στην MPS. Απ το 1972 ως και το 1975-76.
Το 1995 κυκλοφόρησε η συλλογή "Peter Herbolzheimer Rhythm Combination & Brass ‎- Masterpieces" σε cd οπού περιέχει τις πιο χαρακτηριστικές ηχογραφήσεις του απ αυτή τη πενταετία- εξαετία που είπα παραπάνω.
Η κορύφωση του cd για μένα το My kind of sunshine (από live του 1970). Ένα δεκαπεντάλεπτο live κομμάτι, που ενώ αρχικά θα νόμιζες ότι πρόκειται για κάποιο ψυχεδελικό (ξεκινάει με σιτάρ), στην συνεχεία νομίζεις ότι ειναι κάποιο ακυκλοφόρητο κομμάτι του David Axelrod (μπασαδούρα, φλάουτο και τα χαρακτηριστικά "Axelord" ντραμς απ το 2:03) ώσπου!! Μπαίνουν πνευστά και hammond (2:54) με επιφωνήματα!
Πως μπορεί να τελειώσει αυτό κομμάτι?? Είπα τη πρώτη φορά που τ άκουσα. Αυτός ειναι ο τεράστιος Peter Herbolzheimer!
My kind of sunshine - My kind of MUSIC!!

Daniel Grau ‎– Disco Fantasy 1979 (London)

Label : London

Value :

This 1979 release has been the fourth solo effort of Venezuelan composer and musician Daniel Grau. The music has been settled at the pulse of its time for certain. Discofunk with a Latin melody and rhythm approach surely was the hottest thing among the dancing folks back in the day and the rather futuristical synthesizer arrangements turn these memorable tunes into a spacey and spicy affair. The sound is perfect and the performance equals its package. The compositions are quite long all in all and therefore have a hypnotical effect on the listener and dancer. The continuing pulsating groove comes in a repetitive manner creating a floating atmosphere. This record is surely a product of its era and made for disco lovers to dance on through the simmering nights, but unlike most mainstream disco albums this record opens the gate to another dimension touching the senses of everybody in reach when it gets played on the turntable. Next to the similar massive Donna Summer works like “I feel love” this is the true essence of disco music just entirely instrumental with an emphasize on synthesizer melodies instead of vocals. Drift away into your disco fantasy, folks!
