Le Concerts du Domaine Musical 1956
Doxy presents a reissue of "Les Concerts du Domaine Musical", originally released by the French label Véga in 1956. Le Domaine Musical was a concert society established by Pierre Boulez in Paris, which was active from 1954 to 1973. Boulez intended to provide opportunities for new music, after a general musical migration from Germany and Austria to Paris in the wake of those countries' legacy of war-torn decades without music. Le Domaine Musical created an exciting milieu in which the best an…
Musicawi Silt / Tche Belew
"Musicawi Silt" is the best known Ethiopian song from Addis Ababa's golden era of 1970s pop music. The insistent drive of the rhythm and the mighty blast of the horns - a sublime, angular burst - are unmistakable. Hailu Mergia's concept for the Walias first LP "Tche Belew" was to include compositions by various band members. Since Girma Beyene, a member of the Walias, wrote this addictive song in the mid-70s and the Walias band began including it in their sets, it has spread around the wo…
The Passion Of Rubbers
The question of what’s one’s favorite item from their collection (or accumulation) consistently pops up in conversations amongst fans and collectors, and this unquestionably is always my answer. From head-to-toe, insert-to-tape, all elements are in glorious harmony and conversation with what another. Having the G.R.O.S.S. label’s ’industrial design’ fetish/obsession (some would say a relatively antiseptic departure from much of the other noise tapes of the time) articulating the sexualize…

Voyeur Tape

Voyeur Tape was one of the first release under the name MB (after Industrial and Atomique Tape), recorded in July 1980.Maurizio Bianchi elaborates his abstract and exhausting art with care and great detail.

Albero Specchio
Metzergenstein’s music is some kind of shamanic black mass, with krautrock influences and a general opiate-flavored atmosphere. In this vinyl debut, firstly available on cassette, you can hear sounds ranging from space rock to Popol Vuh, but the overall sensation is one of a music that is really difficult to define. From the label press release "strong ritual characterization and with a fascination for a kind of ancestral magnetism that draws from a mythological alphabet, older than th…

Ragas
Restocked, last copies around! A real masterpiece finally reissued, the holy grail by La Monte Young’s teacher and guru Pandit Pran Nath originally published on Shandar in 1971. The vocals are very slow and chant-like – echoing out in these really long, sustained waves that perfectly match the tabla and tamboura – very eerie at times, on two extended ragas – "Raga Yaman Kalyan" and "Raga Punjabi Berva". Rich, resonant, vibratoless tones seem to emerge from his head, his chest, his fingers, a…
Deadly Weapons
Recent digipack CD reissue "This collective of jazz improv weirdoes banded together for a one-off in 1986 to riff on the deep vibe of all things French and cinematic. Backing vocalist Toni Marshall, Zorn, Beresford, and Toop created a virtual and highly experimental film noir soundtrack to a movie that perhaps existed in the mind of Jean-Luc Godard in the 1950s, but was never made. David Toop is clearly the sonic architect here, haunting the proceedings with his deep use of effects, subdued perc…
The Complete Remastered Recordings on Black Saint & Soul Note 10
A wonderful run of music from the great Steve Lacy – all of the larger group recordings done for the Black Saint/Soul Note label – nearly 20 years of really inventive albums! Lacy's solo and smaller group material were already collected in another excellent box in this series – but this collection shows Steve stepping out in a mode that's not nearly as well-represented on other labels – some of his more intense, complicated efforts – done with both familiar associates, and some surprising choice…

Having examined spiritual jazz as it was expressed in the U.S., and followed its mess…
