MAGIC 7S.
''Another wildly nice release from this prolific Indiana based Noise drone duo.
The music here has a metallic sheen and feels as though it was created by rubbing automobiles together in deep space. The pieces don't necessarily make a lot of lateral motion, but they buff up and down like a blowfish, reminding us that even drones can have a menacing edge.''
- Byron Coley, the Wire
When We're Dead And What We'll Remembers.
''Somewhere in the Night is a collection of recordings, circa 1982-'85, from France's Stereo. The three opening tracks are full of some totally unexpected workout video/jazz-wave vibes that had Other Music's Karen and I wondering why we couldn't stop listening! I kept hearing shades of "Xanadu," Irene Cara's "What a Feeling" and the Blade Runner soundtrack (only imagine Vangelis collaborating with a mellower Visage and a more mysterious Human League and Roxy Music) all rolled into one infectious train wreck. Then the epic drama-dub of "Moonshine" came on. Karen and I both smiled and looked at each other with knowing nods of the head. It all suddenly made sense; embrace this record and don't be afraid. I know the description might sound a bit scary, but Somewhere in the Night actually rules! ''

''Whatever he calls himself now, this prodigiously gifted R&B aesthete can still craft a song as deftly as Stevie Wonder or Burt Bacharach and then sing it like an angel. On "Sweetness," the melody just melts like a kiss. Sure, D'Arby can appear pretentious and sulky, but his enigmatic music--so sunny but haunted, knowing but naive, self-assured but needy--makes him an enigma well worth our indulgence. ''

"Gorgeously ambient."
- New York Magazine
"A dreamy fruitcake of parts, tranquil even through its anarchy."
- Josef Woodard, Los Angeles Times
"A marvelously fluid, traveling spatial sound sculpture that disintegrates and reforms at nearly every stop light. This is a holiday tradition that could give new music a good name."
- Kyle Gann, The Village Voice
"Here's a gorgeous holiday-season sleeper from Bang on a Can's label, a joyous, continuous electronic collage full of wildly pealing bells and chimes, voices, wall-of-sound textures and more, as heard from multiple boomboxes moving though the streets of Greenwich Village."
- Richard Ginell, Los Angeles Times
"If an avant-garde Christmas record exists, this is it."
- Dan Buckley, Stereophile
“This is the first necessary classical recording of the 21st century."
- Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
"Phil Kline's postmodern boombox caroling walk is more than just performance art: It's a demonstration of community."

'Tranform I' is the debut album from rootsy reggae outfit Dubkasm. The Bristol based crew have a neat line in mixing Brazilian samba elements with their homegrown dub reggae sound, resulting in a rich fusion of militant steppas and skanking roots with Brazilian instrumentation like Berimbau, Zabumba, Cavquinho and Cuica. The project also involves nine volcalists from both sides of the Atlantic, connecting Brazilian singers like Ras Bernado and Jeru Banto with, errr, Levi Roots, Tena Stelin and Afrikan Simba. Fans of RSD's Bristol sound will love this.

Once Upon a Time is one of an amazing 20 albums tenor saxophonist
Alan Skidmore appeared on in 1969 and 1970 (including several veritable classics of British jazz,
Mike Gibbs' Tanglewood 63,
John Surman's
How Many Clouds Can You See?,
Stan Tracey's Seven Ages of Man, and
Graham Collier's Songs for My Father). The lineup of this particular quintet, which represented Britain at the 1969 Montreux Jazz Festival, is truly stellar: in addition to
Skidmore there's Canadian trumpeter/flügelhorn virtuoso
Kenny Wheeler, pianist
John Taylor, bassist
Harry Miller, and percussionist
Tony Oxley. Two of the six tracks are credited to
John Surman, and one, the sultry "Old San Juan," is penned by
John Warren,
Surman's collaborator on Tales of the Algonquin, another classic release from the same year. If the
Surman material reveals the discreet influence of the late-'60s
Miles Davis quintet,
Oxley's "Majaera" begins to explore the more dangerous territory of free playing he would return to the following year on his Four Compositions for Sextet. Elsewhere,
John Taylor's "The Yolk" is a boisterous, brilliant piece of hard bop, and the last three tracks, segued together as a suite, explore a similarly wide range of styles. So much so that
Skidmore aficionados tend to prefer the greater coherence of the following year's septet release on Philips, TCB, but Once Upon a Time remains one of the landmark albums of British jazz. ~ Dan Warburton, All Music Guide

''Southern Illinois native Zac Nelson is a drummer, and knowing that you should also know that he is a madman. One of the few known photos of him looks like a cult leader or someone who might know a thing or two about eating diamonds. While he is a current member of Who's Your Favorite Son God and Prints, Hexlove is Nelson all by himself going nuts. Nelson's enthusiastic mania is not just in the realm of Keith Moon-ness but as a multi-instrumentalist who channels Dennis Wilson, Neil Michael Haggerty, and post-Vision Creation Newsun Boredoms, and combine it all and play it off like it was mixed by Tod Dockstader. No one is ever going to think you should listen to Knew Abloom on nitrous because it already sounds like it's on nitrous. Simply put, Hexlove is unlike anything and sounds exactly like right now should. ''

''...The Unkindess of Crows isn’t out of nowhere. Old gods just don’t show up one day. There are signs, cosmic warnings…a murdered albino, crop circles. You know, a reunion show here, a collaboration with Greg Anderson
there. But what marks this album, performed by only himself and drummer Tyler Smith, from all the rest of Densley’s catalog isn’t just the approach – heavy and minimal — but the all-out theatricality of it.
Eagle Twin certainly sounds like the sky opening up to vomit cosmic malevolence all over you....''

''..it was the Goodman Quartet tha t set the jazz world on fire.This was a group that swung
with such dazzling fire and authority,a group that caressed a ballad with such a compelling
flow of warmth and richness tha all of a sudden every big swing band had to have a subsidiary
small group....''

Frederick Knight's catchy "I've Been Lonely for So Long" was a sizable R&B hit on Stax in 1972, and he wrote and produced Anita Ward's across-the-board smash "Ring My Bell" in 1979. Knight cut his own "I've Been Lonely for So Long" in Birmingham, Alabama with a seasoned southern soul crew behind him, and hit again in 1975 with "I Betcha Didn't Know That."

''...Sakata, Corsano, and Gray have mastered well through numerous collaborations and releases, but it all comes to glorious fruition within
Friendly Pants. The idea that is has taken 20 years for Sakata's music to reach American shores once more is a sad thought but we can be glad that
Friendly Pants will serve as a constant reminder that the best the jazz world has to offer will always find its way back home. ''

"Purveyor of expertly controlled chaotic saxophone experimentation John Butcher (UK) is joined by German contrabassist Torsten Muller and Vancouver drummer Dylan van der Schyff for this recording from the Vancouver Jazz Festival. The former British theoretical physicist leads the trio through their first performance together with almost inhuman attention to musical detail."

The Descent (2005)
(manand)
from the nile ''Derf Reklaw, formerly of the '70s jazz-funk band the Pharaohs, reappears on this "comeback" disc with a thoroughly refreshing and wide-ranging effort. Utilizing a thundering herd of musicians (including the likes of drummers Billy Higgins and Don Littleton, pianist Nick Smith, and bassist Reggie Carson as well as a score of other musicians), Reklaw is free to romp on everything from flute to alto sax to djembe, cowbell, congas, and instruments with names like whisums, quinto, and tumba. What results is a stirring exploration into the musics of the African diaspora, wrung through Reklaw's swinging and creative vision of the place where jazz, reggae, and soul collide. Expect plenty of percussion, compositions leading down interesting and invigorating trails, Reklaw's agile flute moves, and a feeling that, at least on this jazz record, anything could (and probably will) happen.''
