One of Giuliano Sorgini's finest and most sought-after titles is finally available as an official LP reissue – the first ever – remastered from the original tapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally released in 1971on the small library music imprint FAMA, which operated as a sub-label of RCA Italy, the record contains the original music written for Scappo per cantare, a small, pseudo-psychedelic 'musicarello' (musical comedy film) broadcast on RAI television and starring, among others, Italian singers Gianni Morandi and Mauro Lusini.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe only credited album artist is Sorgini, but it's impossible not to perceive, in this record, the hand of his close friend and colleague Alessandro Alessandroni.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis should not come as a surprise. In the early 70s, the two composers and multi-instrumentalists had a fruitful collaboration that saw them, under the monikers Braen (Alessandroni) and Raskovich (Sorgini), produce an abundance of works together, most of which have now gained the recognition they deserve. These include, among others, two 7\" singles from their band The Pawnshop, three records in the series Alle sorgenti delle civiltà (Folkmusic), the crime\/noir library albums Quarta pagina (Usignolo) and Inchiesta giudiziaria (Octopus Records), as well as the LP Tempo Libero (Panda Records), which was released shortly after the record presented here and in some ways drew rhythmic inspiration from it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile their collaboration remained unacknowledged on the original release of Scappo per cantare (this was not uncommon at the time, especially in the field of library music), the record sounds perfectly in line with other works composed by Alessandroni in the early 70s, such as Complesso Gisteri's Mostra Collettiva (co-written with Oronzo De Filippi), or even a landmark album like Spontaneous, where Sorgini contributed to a handful of tracks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, yes, the sheer beauty of Scappo per cantare is the result of an incredible synergy between two heavyweights of Italian library music! Airy and sweeping melodies à la Zoo Folle, psychedelia à la Under Pompelmo, and various percussion instruments played by Sorgini seamlessly blend and fuse with elements and touches provided by Alessandroni.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore specifically, we find Alessandroni's signature, melancholy whistle in \"Desolazione\"; the peaceful and dreamy sound of his 12-string guitar in \"Scogliere\" and \"Con Amore\"; the trademark harmonies of his vocal ensemble Cantori Moderni in the last two tracks mentioned and in \"Per cantare\"; and his ingenious use of distortion on his Fender Stratocaster in the suspenseful transitions \"Concentrazione\" and \"Fantocci\", as well as in the frantic\/hypnotic hippie numbers \"Mordente\" and \"Fendente\" (as a side note, it is worth remembering that Alessandroni experimented extensively with distortion in the rock-infused album Underground, co-written with De Filippi and released in 1971 under the moniker Braen's Machine, probably a reference to British psychedelic band Soft Machine).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe creative relationship between Sorgini and Alessandroni was so symbiotic that it would be useless to try to identify in more detail their respective contributions to the sound of Scappo per cantare. The alchemy between these two musical geniuses is the key to the album's exquisitely Italian mixture of cheerful lounge, sweet psychedelia and smooth easy listening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo do justice to the quality of the music, this remastered reissue is enriched by a new artwork by Eric Adrian Lee, who drew inspiration from the psychedelic visual culture of the period in which the album was written and recorded.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Four Flies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42672115187868,"sku":"FLIES60","price":32.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_3e014327-50e9-4813-81e1-ad0606203a16.jpg?v=1695895234"},{"product_id":"lukid-tilt","title":"Lukid - Tilt","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: GLUM005\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 5050580789982\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 06 Oct 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Leftfield IDM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: End Melody - Lukid\u003cbr\u003e02: Haringey Leisure - Lukid\u003cbr\u003e03: Anatolia - Lukid\u003cbr\u003e04: The Great Schlep - Lukid\u003cbr\u003e05: Belly 1 - Lukid\u003cbr\u003e06: Belly 2 - Lukid\u003cbr\u003e07: Daisy Cutter - Lukid\u003cbr\u003e08: Confessions of a Wimp - Lukid\u003cbr\u003e09: How It's Made - Lukid\u003cbr\u003e10: End Loop - Lukid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLukid's first solo album in 9 years, following several releases as one half of Rezzett and 3 EPs as Refreshers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GLUM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42676096172188,"sku":"GLUM005","price":19.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_89ccb929-ff15-41c6-9cae-274ea22b3f30.jpg?v=1696263758"},{"product_id":"various-artists-spiritual-jazz-14-private-cd","title":"Various Artists - Spiritual Jazz 14: PRIVATE [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: CD\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: JMANCD137\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 5036468201371\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 06 Oct 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Smooth Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: By the Grace of God, I Am - Erni Clark\u003cbr\u003e02: Lotus - Elysian Spring\u003cbr\u003e03: Middle Eastern Fantasy - Radam Schwartz\u003cbr\u003e04: Communion Song: The World - Mary Lou Williams\u003cbr\u003e05: Ethiopia - Carmelo Garcia\u003cbr\u003e06: Themes \u0026amp; Variations - Black Is ----\u003cbr\u003e07: A'Keem (Brother) - Cullen Knight\u003cbr\u003e08: Spanish Boots - Don Menza\u003cbr\u003e09: Morning Rainwalk - Belair\u003cbr\u003e10: Delilah - Andrew McPherson\u003cbr\u003e11: Symbiosis - Almanac\u003cbr\u003e12: Evolove - Owen Marshall\u003cbr\u003e13: Desiree Song - Bobby Jackson\u003cbr\u003e14: Pharoah's Thing - Compass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Private Press: A custom-made record that is produced and released by the artists themselves, or their close associates.

Featured on Habibi Funk's last compilation (HABIBI015) with his track \"Tendme,\" Hesnawi crafts restless funk with evident buttressing from a reggae foundation. Highlighted across the LP is how Hesnawi essentially pioneered such an effortless synthesis between traditional Libyan music and Jamaican reggae stylings, plus the endlessly disparate funk, jazz, and disco accents which firmly situate Hesnawi in a league of his own. LP out everywhere October 6th.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSome years ago, we started a Facebook group named after our label \"Habibi Funk\" with the idea to create a space where everyone could share music they felt fit under this umbrella, one way or another. One day a Greek member, Thanasis Moutsopoulos, shared a photo of a vinyl record he found at the Monastiraki flea market in Athens, Greece. It was by a Libyan artist named Ibrahim Hesnawi and called \"Hesnawi And Peace.\" At this point we had never heard of the artist and Thanasis was nice enough to record the album for us. We were immediately electrified by what we heard: A whole album full of classic reggae with some light touches of funk and disco here and there which Hesnawi had recorded in Italy more than 4 decades prior. We eventually decided we would love to learn more about reggae in Libya, and a mutual friend introduced us to Ahmed Abujazia, who was born and still living in Tripolis; through a shared appreciation of music, he agreed to help us work on the project. We asked around and eventually managed to get Ibrahim Hesnawi's telephone number. A few weeks later, Ahmed met Ibrahim in person and proposed our project. Hesnawi was happy to work on a rerelease of his music with us. Excited to share the story of his musical career, Hesnawi was apt to point us towards songs he felt like would be a great match for the tracks we had already expressed interest in. All of this happened in 2018, which was also when the licensing agreement was signed. It has taken us 5 years to actually bring the project to the world, mainly because of the challenge of finding tapes in good enough quality to release. Sadly, Ibrahim Hesnawi lost his studio reel tapes at some point and the digital files he had of his music were of poor quality. So, we spend years trying to find every Hesnawi tape we could get our hands on in order to find a copy that would suffice in terms of sound quality to be used as a source for remastering. Eventually, we had 5-6 copies of some albums, just to identify the ones that sounded the best. We've finally been able to find enough songs in great sound quality that has allowed us to create a selection that both we and Ibrahim were happy with. Now, we're able to share the story of the father of reggae in Libya with the sound quality his work deserves. In many countries, reggae was a widespread fad before its popularity gradually subsided. In Libya, however, the genre remained popular since its initial introduction in the late 1970s. Reggae's thematic throughlines like references to Pan-Africanism, liberation, and the end of oppression and exploitation resonated—and continues to resonate—forcefully amongst a Libyan audience. To this day, you will find countless bands playing variations of the genre as are there Facebook groups with predominantly Libyan members sharing old and new reggae tracks with ten-thousands of members. And no matter who you ask, chances are high that the genre's popularity in Libya will be largely attributed to one man: Ibrahim Hesnawi. Born and raised in Tripolis, the capital of Libya, Hesnawi was not initially interested in music. However, he credits Bob Marley, the universal face of the reggae genre, with changing his mind. Bob Marley was the artist that brought Reggae to Libya. And the two disparate musical cultures—Jamaican and Libyan—weren't so far apart. On the contrary: local musicians intertwined these influences quite fluidly. Libyan reggae borrows elements from its own culture, and is usually accompanied by a steady marching tempo, a significant hallmark of wedding chants. An effortless synthesis of Jamaican reggae and traditional Libyan sonics is featured throughout Hesnawi's catalogue. What better example of this audio amalgam than the LP's powerhouse lead single \"Never Understand\" which brings a roots and dancehall flavor into conversation with North African and Middle Eastern musical rhythms and Jamaican stylings. With warm keys, a thick, bouncing bass and English lyrics to boot, the track sounds like a missing Bob Marley cut.

Featured on Habibi Funk's last compilation (HABIBI015) with his track \"Tendme,\" Hesnawi crafts restless funk with evident buttressing from a reggae foundation. Highlighted across the LP is how Hesnawi essentially pioneered such an effortless synthesis between traditional Libyan music and Jamaican reggae stylings, plus the endlessly disparate funk, jazz, and disco accents which firmly situate Hesnawi in a league of his own. LP out everywhere October 6th.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome years ago, we started a Facebook group named after our label \"Habibi Funk\" with the idea to create a space where everyone could share music they felt fit under this umbrella, one way or another. One day a Greek member, Thanasis Moutsopoulos, shared a photo of a vinyl record he found at the Monastiraki flea market in Athens, Greece. It was by a Libyan artist named Ibrahim Hesnawi and called \"Hesnawi And Peace.\" At this point we had never heard of the artist and Thanasis was nice enough to record the album for us. We were immediately electrified by what we heard: A whole album full of classic reggae with some light touches of funk and disco here and there which Hesnawi had recorded in Italy more than 4 decades prior. We eventually decided we would love to learn more about reggae in Libya, and a mutual friend introduced us to Ahmed Abujazia, who was born and still living in Tripolis; through a shared appreciation of music, he agreed to help us work on the project. We asked around and eventually managed to get Ibrahim Hesnawi's telephone number. A few weeks later, Ahmed met Ibrahim in person and proposed our project. Hesnawi was happy to work on a rerelease of his music with us. Excited to share the story of his musical career, Hesnawi was apt to point us towards songs he felt like would be a great match for the tracks we had already expressed interest in. All of this happened in 2018, which was also when the licensing agreement was signed. It has taken us 5 years to actually bring the project to the world, mainly because of the challenge of finding tapes in good enough quality to release. Sadly, Ibrahim Hesnawi lost his studio reel tapes at some point and the digital files he had of his music were of poor quality. So, we spend years trying to find every Hesnawi tape we could get our hands on in order to find a copy that would suffice in terms of sound quality to be used as a source for remastering. Eventually, we had 5-6 copies of some albums, just to identify the ones that sounded the best. We've finally been able to find enough songs in great sound quality that has allowed us to create a selection that both we and Ibrahim were happy with. Now, we're able to share the story of the father of reggae in Libya with the sound quality his work deserves. In many countries, reggae was a widespread fad before its popularity gradually subsided. In Libya, however, the genre remained popular since its initial introduction in the late 1970s. Reggae's thematic throughlines like references to Pan-Africanism, liberation, and the end of oppression and exploitation resonated—and continues to resonate—forcefully amongst a Libyan audience. To this day, you will find countless bands playing variations of the genre as are there Facebook groups with predominantly Libyan members sharing old and new reggae tracks with ten-thousands of members. And no matter who you ask, chances are high that the genre's popularity in Libya will be largely attributed to one man: Ibrahim Hesnawi. Born and raised in Tripolis, the capital of Libya, Hesnawi was not initially interested in music. However, he credits Bob Marley, the universal face of the reggae genre, with changing his mind. Bob Marley was the artist that brought Reggae to Libya. And the two disparate musical cultures—Jamaican and Libyan—weren't so far apart. On the contrary: local musicians intertwined these influences quite fluidly. Libyan reggae borrows elements from its own culture, and is usually accompanied by a steady marching tempo, a significant hallmark of wedding chants. An effortless synthesis of Jamaican reggae and traditional Libyan sonics is featured throughout Hesnawi's catalogue. What better example of this audio amalgam than the LP's powerhouse lead single \"Never Understand\" which brings a roots and dancehall flavor into conversation with North African and Middle Eastern musical rhythms and Jamaican stylings. With warm keys, a thick, bouncing bass and English lyrics to boot, the track sounds like a missing Bob Marley cut. Fiery funk tracks \"Tendme\" (featured on HF015) and second single \"Watery Al Kabir\" bring a tireless groove to the record via chugging rhythms and key interludes that deliver searing harmonic motifs. Focus track \"Only World\" grounds the LP, placing an emphasis on its anthemic lyricism and subtle, yet slick guitar licks and synth runs that make Libya seem like the \"only world\" where Reggae continues to stand strong.

The NULLPTR mastermind makes it four releases on the Sheffield label in five years with Recursor, a six-track EP which balances precision-engineered machine-funk grooves with an overarching aura of gracefulness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecursor finds its lane from the opening title-track. On the quicksilver 'Recursor' we get Drexciyan punch, a needlegun bassline and staccato arps offset by eerie washes of synths. There's a tension between the two elements of the track, and this yin-yang combination means that' Recursor' will work equally well for both the rave's darkest corners and also the euphoria of a sunrise set.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the title-track begins the record at breakneck speed, 'Pulsar' puts proceedings into cruise control. There's still enough punch in the drum programming to ensure that 'Pulsar' will deliver in the dance, but this mid-paced tune is dominated by its warping bassline and keening keys, all of which comes together for a pretty and strangely wistful number. 'Pulsar's energy persists into following cut 'Phase Function, though there's a twitchiness to the bassline here which gives this track a nervier, more neurotic feel. As well as the golden age of Detroit electro, you're also looking at Silicon Scally and Annie Hall as ballpark references, though there's a winning idiosyncrasy to the production here which is all NULLPTR's own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe groove which kicks off the second half of Recursor is one of the most focussed on the whole EP - 'Seil' has a bassline which moves with the intent of a heat-seeking missile. When combined with the distant snap of 808s and twinkling arps, the whole thing very much maintains the shadowy feeling of 'Phase Function', and it's an energy that Recursor rides into 'Stone Tape'. 'Stone Tape' boasts another stellar bassline, but rather than the low-end barrelling forward intensely as it does on 'Seil' the bass here skips all around the mix, pleasingly erratic and playful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Portal' is an apt title for Recuror's sixth and final track. Indeed, the whole vibe of 'Portal' makes it a perfect closer for this EP of detailed electro jams. This tune really does feel like a portal being opened, the bass and drums busying themselves on the floor while chemtrails of synth in the upper-end of the mix intimate something enticing beyond the threshold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSparky yet sleek, Recursor is the latest fine machine-funk collection from NULLPTR.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRIYL: Annie Hall, Silicon Scally, Legowelt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Played Seil on White Noise #922”\u003cbr\u003eDave Clarke —\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Played Recursor on White Noise #922”\u003cbr\u003eDave Clarke —\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Central Processing Unit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42676254408860,"sku":"CPU01111000","price":12.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_d11040e3-d3ac-494c-aa64-26798a036b77.jpg?v=1696281873"},{"product_id":"youmna-saba-wishah-cd","title":"Youmna Saba - Wishah [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: CD\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: T3322\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 5050580799738\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 06 Oct 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Middle East\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: Akaleel - Youmna Saba\u003cbr\u003e02: Ba'oud - Youmna Saba\u003cbr\u003e03: Al khayal - Youmna Saba\u003cbr\u003e04: Ahad - Youmna Saba\u003cbr\u003e05: Tareeq - Youmna Saba\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWishah (veil in Arabic) is a composition in five stages, written by Youmna Saba between 2021 and 2022, for voice, oud and electronics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing her previous solo works Njoum (2014) and Arb'een (40) (2017), this album marks a significant turning point in Saba's journey.

The group locked itself in a barn at the Museum of Agricultural Technology in Piotrowice Świdnickie. It worked on its sophomore output surrounded by machinery, trucks and carriages. These new compositions mirror the abstract conversations which the group frequently has just for fun. Contrary to For Joseph Riddle, this album is simple and does not rely on ongoing grooves. This enabled the group to be much more experimental. The band was joined by friends Flautist Mariya Mavko on Piękno Niemożliwe (Impossible Beauty) and her playing is sampled in Hipotetyczny Taras (Hypothetical Terrace). Pięciu Pszczelarzy (Five Beekeepers) closes the album featuring EABS' Jakub Kurek on trumpet.

It is a sonic story depicting a walk through Nadodrze late at night.

The trackstarts with drum improvisation, rolling into a solid hip-hop backbeat provided by Ben Łasiewicki on Bass and Drummer Filip Baczyński. Sax and Guitar weave steady but dissonant lines, written by Maciej Forreiter after many hours spent listening to the Ethiopian jazz greats. The track takes off right after that. Matylda Gerber delivers a fiery Sax solo, while the group picks up the tempo and quickens the groove. The essence is the middle section, a dubby collective improvisation. Forreiter, Gerber and Baczyński take turns playing both classic dub phrases and fierce avant grade lines. Łasiewicki keeps everybody in check with a steady bassline. The energy slows down until Baczyński's drum solo, which explores phrasing detached from the rest of the tune.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSecond single Chiński Sprzedawca Smażonych Kasztanów (Chinese roasted chestnut seller) is a fusion of breakbeats, energized songo rhythms and motifs inspired by South African melodies. Presenting the group with spacious and rhythmic horn lines, guitarist Maciej Forreiter wrote a chord progression while Beniamin Łasiewicki and Filip Baczyński took care of the rhythm section. This first part of the track suddenly drops out and explodes into the dramatic main motif which includes double sax and fierce guitar playing in harmony, plus the rhythm section playing more and more jungle-esque.

Her work in the opening motif evokes sounds of Polish and Ukrainian folklore. This brief mellow moment serves as a contrast to the usual frantic sounds of sneaky jesus.

The band is joined by the extraordinary trumpeter Jakub Kurek from EABS, who blends in perfectly with sax and guitar. His exchange of solos with Maciej Forreiter is a combination of classic jazz phrasing and discordant clatter.
