[Music] Various Artists – Outro Tempo: Electronic And Contemporary Music From Brazil 1978-1992
Brazil, the land of gorgeous women, sensuous music, favelas, beaches, crime and jungles, was also the home to a very healthy experimental music scene during the late 70s and early 80s.
The Dutch record label Music From Memory is responsible for publishing this amazing comp.
[Music] Robert Fripp – Easter Sunday
A perfectly sublime work by King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp to end the Easter festivities.
[Music] Erik Wøllo – Motion Blue
Thanks to Sam at Projekt Records for advertising that Norwegian electronic music legend Erik Wøllo has a new track available.
[Music] Nik Bärtsch’s Ronin – Live
Swiss pianinst Nik Bärtsch leads his band Ronin on a reissue of a live set released way back in 2006.
[Music] Polish Jazz: Era-Defining Records From Behind The Iron Curtain
Cezary Lerski lived in Los Angeles last I remember, and his label should be sainted for providing so many re-releases of classic Polish Jazz. This new series is being handled by Languidity Records, and they also do amazing work.
Liza Premiyak of The Calvert Journal has more here.
[Music] Giórgis Manolákis, Níkos Sidirokastrítis sto IMK – Médousa
I have absolutely no information at the moment on either Manolákis or Sidirokastrítis, but their song, Médousa, makes for perfectly mellow listening.
[Music] Noël Akchoté – All I Have To Say
If this is all Noël Akchoté has to say, I’d say it’s quite a lot. Not since Derek Bailey has anyone, at least to my ears, make skeletal sketches sound to full. This is a solo album of standards sparsely arranged and performed on electric guitar. The most touching piece, Are You Lonesome Tonight, shows the beauty of the instrumentation, even if we’re lacking the voice of Elvis to fill this out.
Expect a few more reviews of Noël’s work here. He’s always busy crafting some new work of art, and collaborating with some fine new talent.
[Music] Marimba Plus – Apocalypse (The 15th Anniversary Concert)
With all due thanks to my friend in Kazakhstan, Vyacheslav Popatov, who introduced me to the work of Marimba Plus, a Russian ethno-prog-jazz-fusion band whose work is currently blowing me away. You can hear more from the band at their Bandcamp page.
[Music] Sonologyst – Ancient Death Cults And Beliefs
Sonologyst is the main project of Unexplained Sounds impresario Raffaele Pezzella, whose work should be seen in the same vein of dark ambient as labels like Sweden’s Cold Meat Industry.
