Antena - Camino Del Sol 1982 (Les Disques Du Crépuscule)

Label : Les Disques Du Crépuscule

Value :

Here with the 1982 debut Camino Del Sol from French / Belgian trio Antena. An effortlessly cool uber-fusion of icy-cold minimal synth-pop production and electro-bossanova rhythms that retains it's alluring appeal to this day, whilst inspiring the likes of Stereolab, Tortoise ++ in their wake. Spread across just five tracks, the then teenagers fuse slinky rhythms, sultry half-whispered vocals and wider-eyed new-wave slants all reduced down with post-punk sensibilities and daunting simplicity. A true classic and a much-needed reminder of more temperate, exotic lands..

Elsie Bianchi Trio - Trio Elsie Bianchi 1962 (Atlantis Basel)

Label : Atlantis Basel

Value :

A rare early session from the lovely Elsie Bianchi! The set features Elsie working with her combo from the Swiss Atlantis nightclub in the early 60s – and was originally issued as a limited-number 10" LP, used only as a promotional item by the club! As on her classic Sweetest Sound album, Elsie sings on a number of tunes – always in English, and in a laidback and mellow way that sounds wonderfully sweet next to her work on piano. The rest of the group includes a bit of clarinet next to the bass and drums – and on a few tracks, Elsie's even overdubbed with a bit of accordion as well!

Wamono A To Z Vol. II (Japanese Funk 1970​-​1977) 2021(180g)

Label :180g

Value :

A fantastic document of the lost funk legacy of 70s Japan – music that's often different than the jazz and pop work of the decade that sees greater reissue, and which shows a very strong influence from the American scene! The rhythms here are wonderful – sometimes in the best funky soundtrack mode, other times with maybe even a bit of psych added in – and some of the cuts feature lyrics, either in English or Japanese, also with a very soulful vibe – but much more of an edge than the polished sound of the city pop generation!

The Sound Defects - The Iron Horse 2018 (Tone Def Systems)

Label : Tone Def Systems

Value :

I cordially invite you to enjoy a number of works that I recorded to an instrumental album by THE SOUND DEFECTS, titled The Iron Horse. The album was inspired by a hunger for rap and the amazing sounds of The Sound Defects. This body of work is an abstract project focused on lyricism, storytelling, and artistic creativity.

Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echoes - Expansions 1975 (Flying Dutchman)

Label : Flying Dutchman

Value :

Quite possibly the most celebrated album ever from keyboardist Lonnie Liston Smith – a groove-heavy classic that's burned up many a dancefloor in its day, yet also a record that features some great mellow moments as well! The title track "Expansions" is virtually a blueprint for the migration of the cosmic jazz sound onto the dancefloor – a tune that's as funky as it is righteous – but other cuts on the album slow down the pace a bit too, and show off the mellower, more introspectively spiritual side that's always made Lonnie way more than just a funky jazz artist.
