Force Over Area
*300 copies limited edition* On Force over Area, Yves De Mey combines slow and ominous melodies with stripped rhythms and acidic bass lines. Over the course of the album, Force over Area becomes a spatial construction with sounds bouncing off the walls, various elements trying to find a way in and air turning into liquid. After all, Force over Area means pressure. The 7 tracks are slowly paced, leaving time and space for continuous modulation of elements and parameters. The album’s freeform fits…

Shlimazl
In the new work ''Shlimazl'' by the Swiss composer Michael Wertmüller, symphony orchestra and big band merge into a virtuoso, polymetric organism that not only transcends styles, but also a perceived linearity of time. In doing so, he explicitly takes up the rich tradition of the big band, and revitalises it within the symphonic context under new auspices and allows it to take off. All the soloists act like a picture within a picture within the big band, which oscillates between musical nucleus,…

Like Someone In Love
One of the greatest line-ups of drummer Art Blakey’s hard bop finishing school The Jazz Messengers locked into place in 1960 when tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter joined trumpeter Lee Morgan, pianist Bobby Timmons, and bassist Jymie Merritt for the recording of The Big Beat, an album that signaled the transformation of the band into a modern jazz juggernaut. In August of that year The Jazz Messengers returned to Van Gelder Studio twice for sessions that would yield the companion albums A Night In…
Luanda-Kinshasa
In celebration of The Infinite Mix, The Vinyl Factory releases the soundtrack to Stan Douglas’s ‘Luanda-Kinshasa’. The video is shot like a documentary film on a set carefully crafted to resemble a legendary New York recording studio.
Stan Douglas’s Luanda-Kinshasa depicts a fictional 1970s jazz-funk band engaged in a seemingly endless real-time jam. The band’s music echoes the then-current confluence of American jazz, funk and Afrobeat – a musical fusion made possible, as the video’s title indi…

Reminiscent at times of Sandy Denny, Vivienne's voice was a natural addiction to the new incarnation of t…

The ensemble knew at some point from their previous LP they would have to go back to church and repent confronting a Silbermann 18th century baroque organ with their custom made modular midi pipe organ : the “Organous”. After nearly 18 months of lockdown the quintet finally met in Bouxwiller Alsace a few miles away from Dangolsheim where Pancrace first formed in 2015. During …
