Alif Tree French Cuisine Compost 2006
01. Deadly Species
02. Belle
03. Enough
04. Forgotten Places
05. My Soul
06. Rain River
07. I Feel Blue
08. L'Amor Nunca Muere
09. Les 4 Vents
10. Melismes Extatiques
Offering an amalgamation of modern sound and featuring the enigmatic voices of Shirley Horn, Anna Karina, Nina Simone and David Linx, here Alif takes from his past works on independent cinema soundtracks, modern and classical ballet scores, late night parisian radio shows and big city club gigs. The vibe is definitely late night chic with jazz, funk, blues and arabic playing a prime role. Few however can put a stamp so individual on their sound. Deadly Species hops between the dreamy and the sublime as chords, strings and digital beats collide with immaculate precision. Forgotten Places soars with jazzy double bass licks and funky trip-hop arrangements and I Feel Blue is laced with hypnotic piano riffs and electronic treasures to boot.
"By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation, he had this testimony, that He pleased God" -- Hebrews 11:5.
Uhm, Bible quotes... let's put it differently. We all supposably have both a physical and a spiritual existence, yet we always tend to neglect the latter. Taking the Enochian way is like taking a walk, separated and translated from a terrestrial life to a celestial. It requires certain alterations; a change in all our tastes, in what we enjoy and what we don't, in what we do and don't do... In short, in what we are and are not. Fact remains that Super Numeri are all hippies and they put out this psyche mix. Some old classic tunes, some new, and some you won't be finding anywhere else. Their own kind of "spiritual journey"... Gorgeous.
The Village Orchestra Et in Arcadia Ego Highpoint Lowlife 2005
01. COSHH
02. Jacob/Bad Hand at Cards v2
03. Dawn
04. Bryan's Tricky 'Do You Like the Drummer?' Question
05. All the Little Lights Going Out
06. Love Theme from 'Two Man Rumble'
07. Sunken
08. Many Rooms in My Father's House
09. In Arcadia
Et in Arcadia Ego is The Village Orchestra's debut full length, pulling together various electronic strands and delivering an album of exhilarating and uncompromising originality. From billowing textural ambience, the album builds ever more intensely, almost hypnotic in effect, layering subtle melodies, sparse manipulated vocal whispers, classical composition and exhaustingly detailed percussion and breaks.
For influences, think Philip Glass, Coil, Desormais, Speedy J, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Carl Craig, The Bug ??€� throw these inspirations in a blender and you are somewhere to understanding where this sound emanates from.
Bell Orchestre Recording a Tape the Colour of the Light Rough Trade 2005
01. Recording a Tunnel (The Horns Play Underneath the Canal)
02. Les Lumieres Pt. 1
03. Les Lumieres Pt. 2
04. Throw It on a Fire
05. Recording a Tunnel (The Horns Play Underneath the Canal)
06. The Upwards March
07. The Bells Play the Band
08. Recording a Tape... (Typewriter Duet)
09. Nuevo
10. Salvatore Amato
11. Recording a Tunnel (The Invisible Bells)
Recording a Tape the Colour of the Light is everything instrumental post-rock should be and nothing it shouldn't: it sounds live but hardly loud and is brimming with sound but uncrowded. Renouncing formulaic bombast, Bell Orchestre dazzles by finesse, not force. Call it blank slate music-- oceans of negative space awaiting colonization-by-imagination.
Members of the Arcade Fire gathered 'round to make this gem.
Pitchfork may have called it "post-rock", but whatever name you give it, one word sticks throughout, and that's "free".
Just an incredible sense of freedom and space... quite simply luminous.
Office-R(6) Mundane Occurences and Presentations Lampse 2006
01. Relative in Enmity for the Members
02. Operation Gratefulness to Articulate
03. It Makes Events Circle Around It
04. Different Methods to Achieve Music (and Pre-Recorded Percussion)
Although Office-R(6) share many basic elements with other contemporary groups, their approach to performing and recording makes them unique, both in principle and in practice. All tracks are performed live and are, in essence, improvisations around a handful of structures. These preconceived structures act as the matrix onto which the material is skillfully laid to form a musical whole. An electro-acoustic unit, Office-R(6) manage, in this process, to initiate an interesting dialogue between the electronic and the acoustic part of their sound. Each member of the group uses its advanced skills to maintain an impressive accuracy throughout each piece, which results in an almost mathematically precise combination of acoustic improvisation, electronic textures and sound experimentation.

16. Paramo's Ghost (... A Dusty Town of Whispers)
17. Dance Your Troubles Away [Trumpet Mix]
If you love deep-soul funk, slinky hip-hop, and rumbling bass and dub, you will immediately fall in love with the superb production and sonic pizzazz of City Breakers. Employing a plethora of styles and influences, from sitar melodies to bongo beats, to a complete brass section that belts out proper jazz, City Breakers is as hard to define as it is to resist. One of the original "Ninja Tunes" acts, Up, Bustle & Out employs crisp lyrics and funky basslines over everything from deep house to hip hop. City Breakers was recorded with an arsenal of 1970's gear because the crew specifically desired to maintain the integrity of the original Jamiacan dub sound. Such devotion doesn't go unnoticed -- the beauty of this album travels beyond its eclectic soundscape-- every song is complete in and of itself; each musical foray vibrates with sonic potency, firmly magnetizing itself into your funk-groovin', jazz-swingin', hip-hop-dub-lovin' soul. Absolutely a must for anyone serious about da funk.

Widely regarded as one of the founding forefathers of the scene known as Dubstep, after early heads like El-B and Steve Gurley had laid the foundations on swung garage beats and post jungle rhythms along came Benga and Big Apple records. With Newstep Benga delivers 15 rhythms previously only available direct from the man himself, now fully released as an essential document in the history of dubstep. Stylistically very close to the fruity flutes and skankin' bass sound of Skream (with whom he collaborated on 'the judgement' and 'hydro' for Big Apple) Benga's influence is indelibly marked on the productions of everyone from Omen to Digital Mystikz. There's no point in covering the tracks one by one; each and every one is a killer, definitive article of South London pressure, collated for your pleasure.
Kathleen Emery Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child 7" Jazzman 2006
A. Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child
B. Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child [Quantic Version]
Back in 1998, people at Jazzman Records thought the old and forgotten jazz, soul & funk obscurities that they love should have a chance to stand on their own, without being lost, bootlegged, or propped up by other songs on a comp. And so they got out their first Jazzman 45, which sold instantly and now fetches over $400 on Ebay. To celebrate their 50th release, Kathleen Emery is available once more, and with an exclusive Quantic remix on the flip. Excellent.

14. Blue Skies
15. Ok Ok
16. C*** Disco
This unexpected release, written and conceived as a soundtrack to Florian Hoffmeister's acclaimed "3?‚° Kalter" film, sees Corker/Conboy head into a much more orchestral, widescreen setting, making use of harps, strings, piano, marimbas and delicately woven electronic arrangements. Performed by the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra, no less, the quality of the playing here is absolutely exemplary, effortlessly managing to retain a deep emotional cache alongside the masterful musicianship on display. Elements of the recording bring to mind the work of contemporary soundtrack artists Cliff Martinez and of course Michael Nyman, the beautifully sparse instrumentation and careful, subtle melodic touches managing to embody a rich tapestry of imagery, regardless of any frame of reference to the film itself. Indeed the evocative weight of the music here brings to mind Martinez' own work for the 'Solaris' OST, high praise indeed for a pair of producers new to the film scoring arena. Following on from a long list of magical albums tagged with the 'imaginary soundtrack' subheading, here's a collection of music actually set to moving imagery, and one of the most musically rewarding excursions of its kind.
Some deejays sometimes can afford to "play with records" between tracks, to make "skits" with certain (or less certain) meaning. Skits get annoying though, cause they detract from the important parts of an album and are usually plain useless. So then, the whole concept of this mixtape is collating all those bits and pieces that wouldn't normally fit on "proper" releases. And making them fun. I personally estimated about 200 records being used, but they go around 250. Tons of breaks crashed into one another, "changing the context, juxtaposing for effect, using all manner of subversion techniques". Not necessarily rare breaks, but all unlicensed, as expected... Hence the anonimity, hence the lack of track names, hence why you'll have to give it proper listening. You may even find some Scooby Doo!
Beirut Gulag Orkestar Ba Da Bing! 2006
01. Gulag Orkestar
02. Prenzlaurberg
03. Brandenburg

06. Rhineland (Heartland)
07. Scenic World
08. Bratislava
09. The Bunker
10. The Canals of Our City
11. After the Curtain
While it may sound like an entire Balkan gypsy orchestra playing modern songs as mournful ballads and upbeat marches, Beirut's first album, Gulag Orkestar, is largely the work of one 19-year-old Albuquerque native, Zach Condon, with assistance by Jeremy Barnes (Neutral Milk Hotel, A Hawk and a Hacksaw) and Heather Trost (A Hawk and a Hacksaw). Horns, violins, cellos, ukuleles, mandolins, glockenspiels, drums, tambourines, congas, organs, pianos, clarinets and accordions (no guitars on this album!) all build and break the melodies under Condon's deep-voiced crooner vocals, swaying to the Eastern European beats like a drunken 12-member ensemble that has fallen in love with The Magnetic Fields, Talking Heads and Neutral Milk Hotel.
Karen Dalton It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You... Koch International 1997
01. Little Bit of Rain
02. Sweet Substitute
03. Ribbon Bow
04. I Love You More Than Words Can Say
05. In the Evening (It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You the Best)
06. Blues on the Ceiling
07. It Hurts Me Too
08. How Did the Feeling Feel to You
09. Right, Wrong or Ready
10. Down on the Street (Don't You Follow Me...)
Had to take a little break after the Beirut LP, cause it was hard to follow with something as simple, beautiful and soulful for my taste. Luckily I found it coming from a female singer - friend of Billie Holliday apparently. Her voice does bring up Billie Holliday in mind - one of the most unique timbres you may come across with. It's So Hard to Tell... was initially recorded back in 1969 and it's everything a blues album should be. Just a shame she didn't become as famous as, say, Janis Joplin. Would've fully diserved to.
