Coming at a period between albums, the single features guest appearances from the sensational musicians, Biel Basile (O Terno, Sessa) and Anthony Ferraro (Toro Y Moi, Astronauts, Etc.). Friends of the band, they add their signature touch on the drums and synth respectively. To complete the package, SOYUZ back the title track with a short but sweet, Wurlitzer-laden, MPB-tinged number, ‘Tenório’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Калі ты запытаеш (If You Ask)’ tells the story of lost dreams. A track that can be interpreted either as a bittersweet longing for childhood times, or for a native place you can’t return to. For the writer Alex Chumak he suggests, \"In my case, as in the case of many Belarusians, it’s both\". \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this song, Alex chose to sing in his native Belarusian tongue. As he explains this language \"to me feels underrepresented in pop music, also it’s a beautiful legacy and sonority that I wanted to share with the listeners of our project around the world\". One of the key inspirations was a Belarusian band “Песняры” (“Pesniary”), who produced a host of great progressive folk, jazz fusion and AOR, from the ‘70s to the ‘90s, predominantly sung in Belarusian. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother key influence was the music coming out of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais in the ‘70s, drawing inspiration from the sentimental and harmonious music of Beto Guedes, Lô Borges, Fernando Oly and Wagner Tiso. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving parted ways with their drummer Anton, SOYUZ needed to find a new way to produce songs. The answer was to go remotely. Alex contacted the brilliant Biel Basile, who had recorded Sessa's contemporary classic ‘Estrela Acesa’, in which Alex also participated. Utilising Biel and Sessa’s newly built studio in São Paulo, SOYUZ had Biel record the drums directly to tape to get the rich sound they were after. Adding the final magic into the mix, California’s Anthony Ferraro provided a beautiful Solina String Ensemble synth arrangement, with drummer\/recording engineer Albert Karch expertly assisting with the production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo capture the essence of the single visually, Alex and the Brazilian one-man-industry visual artist Gabriel Rolim, spent a blazing sunny May day in Berlin shooting film and stills – one of which became the perfect cover image. We hope you enjoy this little nugget of SOYUZ mastery, a sweet taster to savour while the new album is recorded. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•    A brand new, dreamy, blissed-out pop production with a ‘70s AOR touch, by the ever on point SOYUZ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•    Featuring guest appearances from the sensational musicians, Biel Basile (O Terno, Sessa) and Anthony Ferraro (Toro Y Moi, Astronauts, Etc.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•    Backed with a short but sweet, Wurlitzer-laden, MPB-tinged number, ‘Tenório’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Bongo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44509870096540,"sku":"MRB7220","price":16.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/2_4ecfe9f7-f79a-4ae7-a187-78b9471871ed.jpg?v=1728573448"},{"product_id":"the-medium-wave-band-so-tender-games-instrumental-7-vinyl","title":"The Medium Wave Band - So Tender \/ Games (Instrumental) [7\" Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 7\" Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: MRB7224\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 5024017006089\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 29 Nov 2024\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Soul\/Jazz\/Funk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING \u003cbr\u003eA.    So Tender    \u003cbr\u003eB.    Games (Instrumental)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourcing rare records to reissue can involve meticulous research and years of digging, but then occasionally, Lady Luck smiles upon you. We probably would have never heard of the Medium Wave Band if Gary from Mr Bongo hadn't known Wolverhampton-based record dealer, Steve Ward. Whilst offering Gary some records for sale, he remembered he had a spare copy of an old 7\" single that he thought Gary might like. Steve didn't know much about the release, and it had never sold on Discogs. Looking at the record itself, it was minimalist in appearance and information, there wasn't much to go on other than that it was from the Birmingham area. The mystery drew us in…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A-side, 'So Tender’, is a late-night, jazzy slow-jam, with beautifully sultry, soulful female vocals which sounded vaguely familiar.  On listening to the B side, 'Games (Instrumental)’, you are rewarded with a superb example of Britfunk \/ independent UK jazz-funk. The pulsating, bass-led dancefloor groove and sensibility is a sound reminiscent of productions usually found on labels such as Elite, but the 7” was not released on a label, it was a private press by the band themselves. So who are the enigmatic The Medium Wave Band?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter some fruitful internet digging and correspondence, we got the answers. The band lineup featured Elliot Browne on guitar (lead \u0026amp; rhythm), Ron Lyseight on guitar (rhythm), Andrew Proverbs on keyboards, Tony Peart on drums, Paul Snook on bass, Linton Levy on saxophone, and surprisingly, the beautiful vocals we had been enjoying were those of Jackie Graham, aka the hugely successful UK vocalist, Jaki Graham. Maybe best known for her pop hit with David Grant, 'Could It Be I'm Falling In Love', but also featuring on the cult classic track 'Fire In My Heart' by Escape From New York. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfluenced by artists and bands including George Benson, Ronnie Laws, Weather Report, George Duke, Azimuth and Chick Corea to name a few, the guys booked into a studio near the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham and recorded the two tracks that make up this 7”. Only 200 copies of the original 7\" were ever pressed and were sold mostly in Birmingham at Summit Records by the band’s friend DJ Frenchi, as well as at live shows. Despite its limited distribution channels, the record received solid support from fans and those in the music industry, including Morgan Khan of the influential record label, Street Sounds. DJ and journalist, Lindsay Wesker, reviewed the release and this led to the band travelling to London for several radio interviews. They played live shows across the country, including at the prestigious Ronnie Scott's in London, and supported both Shakatak and Weapon of Peace in Birmingham. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to all those involved bringing this release into fruition and for solving the mystery behind a wonderful Britfunk and UK soul record that could have otherwise been lost in the mists of time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•    An ultra-rare, private press, Brit funk \/ jazz-funk beauty from the ’80s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•    Featuring Jaki Graham on vocals.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Bongo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44509875470492,"sku":"MRB7224","price":13.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/0_cf1c020d-2953-4063-ab7d-5166f18c31fe.webp?v=1728573731"},{"product_id":"various-reel-people-music-vinyl-sampler-vol-4-coloured-vinyl","title":"Various - Reel People Music Vinyl Sampler Vol.4 [Coloured vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: RPMVS014\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 5065019813435\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 29 Nov 2024\u003cbr\u003eGenre: House\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003cbr\u003eA1.
