Baraka 1980
After the groundbreaking Comme à la Radio, energized by the free jazz tumult of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Brigitte Fontaine and Areski Belkacem produced six albums together or separately between 1972 and 1977. While French pop of the time was marked by lush orchestrations, Fontaine and Belkacem’s songs were often recorded live, typically accompanied only by guitar and percussion, or performed a cappella. This minimalist approach focused attention on the subversive poetry of the lyrics and the…

Gris-Gris
2025 stock 2013 repress, black vinyl. "1968 debut album from the king of the psychedelic bayou -- the hypnotic, mystical and powerful sound of the swamp coming to life.

‘Get Ready’ is the only album released by the group, which, due to numerous line-up changes that also occurred during the recording of the alb…
Il Grande Esploratore
‘Il Grande Esploratore’ represents one of the highest artistic peaks ever for Tony Esposito, a percussionist who grew up alongside musicians of the calibre of Pino Daniele, Alan Sorrenti and James Senese, and who in the early 1980s talentfully combined Mediterranean and Neapolitan sound sensations with electronic, ethnic, afrobeat and world music. The result has been before everyone's eyes - and, especially, ears - for over 40 years.
'Kalimba De Luna' is clearly the gem that stands out among the…

Mingus Ah Um
When driving a band with his upright bass, Charles Mingus looked -and was- gigantic, in more ways than one. He had huge creative appetites (as well as being hot tempered), creating his own combination of hard bop, blues, and avant-garde jazz. There was no one more multi-faceted than Mingus between the 1950s and 1970s and of his many albums, Mingus Ah Um (1959) is considered to be a jazz classic.
Recordings Of Covert Shortwave Radio Stations
Perhaps you've chanced upon a Number Station, unwittingly as you scour the shortwave bands, and heard a cold, disconnected voice repeating simple commands endlessly into the ether. Or maybe you've scanned past a series of bleeps and pips, or pockets of noise, thinking nothing of them, as you seek a favoured music station. These are messages, to those who know how to receive them, and are able decode them in their various forms and configurations.
