A long time explorer of the sounds of spaciousness, having released the ambient classic LP iO in 1994 as MLO, Crystal Harmonics is a document of Jon’s latest discoveries. An ambient\/new age\/modern classical library suite for KPM, this is inter-dimensional music for mind, body and spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIsland Visions, the recent collection of music from Seahawks for KPM, touched on the deeper, more spatial side of music and led to Jon exploring this territory in greater depth, again for KPM, under his Ocean Moon alter ego. This time he brought along some of today’s most visionary musicians: Jon Brooks (The Advisory Circle \/ Ghostbox) for his intuitive melodic mastery, Seaming To (Graham Massey’s Toolshed) for her extraordinary vocal talents, Steve Moore (Zombi) for his sophisticated and inventive rhythmic sensibility and Richard Norris (The Grid) for his sensitive and deeply resonant ambience. The initial recordings were made at The Centre Of Sound in Cornwall, with the collaborators various contributions coming from London, Derbyshire and the US.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe supremely serene electronic flute and bells of “Crystal Drift” ease us into our journey and we take our next steps with “Rainbow Ripples” as it gently folds space with arpeggiated synth swells and delicate machine beats. Light vocal tones, bells and breath FX on “And Breathe” keep us going, accompanied by synth drones and billows of electric piano.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe travel through the synth-space-surf haze of “Lost Oceans”, with soft bass and warm ambience, to reach the “New Infinity” of revolving melody, spacious pads and light electronic beats. The celestial tone floats of “White Mirror” close out the first side.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTemple bells ring out to running water flowing together with deep resonant vocal tones as the second side opens with “Peace Bells”. “Revolving and Evolving” follows, a tranquil electronic meadow of lush pastoral synth tones where we rest for a while for “Mountain Dreaming”, a light rhythmic dance of zither and birdsong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe undulating “Forest Motion” ripples with synth arpeggios, dreamy Solina strings and percussive modular electronics before allowing the crackling ambience and Cantonese whispers of “Sleep Golden” to wash over us. Finally we find ourselves on “The Long Path”, its warm temple ambience of drones and chants guiding us home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrystal Harmonics is inspired by four particular albums from KPM’s catalogue. There’s The Electronic Light Orchestra by Adrian Wagner from 1975 and then Temple Of The Stars, Breath Of Life and finally Keith Mansfield’s Circles, these last three coming from KPM’s mid-1980s run of modern classical\/New Age gems. For Jon, “making library music can be very liberating. I really enjoyed the additional focus it brought to the music working on different facets of composition with each collaborator”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Crystal Harmonics is no mere exercise in vulger pastiche. As the past, present and future sound of paradise, this fresh exploration of mid-90s ambient and original New Age sounds exists outside of our linear experience of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cover started as a collage Jon made a couple of years ago, a different expression of the same impulses that guided the music. As a nod to the records that provided seeds of inspiration, the collage was framed by KPM’s house style of the 1980s for the finished sleeve by Richard Robinson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMastered for vinyl by Be With’s sonic shaman Simon Francis, cut by the legendary Pete Norman and pressed in the Netherlands by Record Industry, Ocean Moon’s Crystal Harmonics is the tranquil balm for these turbulent times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Tracklist: \u003cbr\u003eA1 : Crystal Drift (03:56)\u003cbr\u003eA2 : Rainbow Ripples (04:08)\u003cbr\u003eA3 : And Breathe (02:10)\u003cbr\u003eA4 : Lost Oceans (01:34)\u003cbr\u003eA5 : New Infinity (05:03)\u003cbr\u003eA6 : White Mirror (02:54)\u003cbr\u003eB1 : Peace Bells (02:40)\u003cbr\u003eB2 : Revolving Evolving (03:34)\u003cbr\u003eB3 : Mountain Dreaming (02:03)\u003cbr\u003eB4 : Forest Motion (03:16)\u003cbr\u003eB5 : Sleep Golden (03:16)\u003cbr\u003eB6 : The Long Path (03:29)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Be With Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35897264734364,"sku":"BEWITH083LP","price":27.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/OceanMoon-CrystalHarmonics.jpg?v=1599539787"},{"product_id":"manu-chao-radio-bemba-sound-system-bonus-cd","title":"Manu Chao - Radio Bemba Sound System (+bonus CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: EXCL2LPJ\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: BEC5161611\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 21st May 2021 (back in)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Broken Beat\/Nu Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNO VINYLE OF ANY MANU CHAO ALBUM HAS BEEN AVAILABLE ON SALE FOR AGES.

Chunky, neon-lit synths and crashing, spacey guitars ride chugging Italo basslines and smooth-yet-shuddering drums to thrilling effect. Finally appearing on vinyl for the first time, 10 years after its original release, the album’s been freshly remastered (overseen by Steve, of course), pressed as a double LP and dressed in some stylish new black and gold artwork. This is the sound of “Big Room Smooth”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe With was well aware of Lovelock by way of the rather ace “Don’t Turn Away (From My Love)” from the 2008 compilation Cosmic Balearic Beats on Eskimo Recordings. Yes, we had the 12\", but as shameless vinyl snobs we totally missed the full CD-only album that followed. Whilst working on the vinyl release of his KPM album Analog Sensitivity, Steve brought up Burning Feeling and how disappointed he was that it never had a vinyl release. We got the hint and didn’t need much persuading after finally hearing the whole album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo where does Lovelock sit on the Steve Moore sonic spectrum? According to Steve “Lovelock is an outlet for me to explore my more pop-oriented ideas, whether it’s disco, lounge, soft rock or whatever I try next. When I started the project in 2006 I was listening to a lot of Italo disco so it felt natural to explore those sounds”. Even the “Lovelock” name itself is a nod to Italian genre film actor Ray Lovelock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs well as the spacier end of disco, Steve was also listening to Laura Brannigan, Abba\/Frida, S.O.S. Band, Alan Parsons and Jan Hammer at the time. These influences shine through. To those who think they detect a hint of irony, Steve’s happy to confirm that “I definitely have a sense of humor, but my love for the styles of music I reference is sincere, and I think that translates to the listener. Lovelock definitely isn’t a joke project, but it is meant to be fun”.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBurning Feeling was written and recorded in Nyack, NY between 2006 and 2008. For the gear-heads, Steve’s arsenal at the time included his trusty Sequential Pro-One and Prophet 600, a Korg Polysix, his Yamaha DX7II FD, a Moog Little Phatt and his Fender Jazz Bass and Strat. He posted the first Lovelock track on MySpace (yep!) in 2007 and the initial reaction was great. A couple of tracks made it onto some compilations and, after a few years of failed negotiations, the album eventually came out on CD in 2012 on Internasjonal, the label run by Prins Thomas and Kai Fraeger (who by genuine coincidence also runs Be With primo distributor Word And Sound). The album got good reviews, mostly in Europe and the UK, but not a whole lot of action in Steve’s native US. This double vinyl release should fix that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe monumental, MDMA-rich title track opens the album and sets the mood. The fizzing, dramatic synth riff refrain intoxicates, before cavernous slo-mo house drums enter the party to devastating effect. It’s followed by the hypnotic, prog-Balearic mood piece “The Fog”. Dizzying synths never detract from the overall smoothness; this is vital, classy cosmic disco. Flip for the epic, Pink Floyd-on-pingers languid space-funk of “Don’t Turn Away (From My Love)”. A gorgeous bassline, warm keys, pulsing synths and smooth drums, all wrapped around yearning, claustrophobic vocals, it’s simply astonishing. The beautiful, faintly creepy synth-prog of “South Beach Sunrise” closes out the first record, with swathes of lush keys and horns. Nods to Tangerine Dream and that melody has a distinctly Angelo Badalamenti\/Twin Peaks vibe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second record sets out soaring over a space-age island with the synth nexus that is “New Age Of Christ”, a melodic take on soundtrack Italo. The Chromeo-championed “Maybe Tonight” bubbles up through, swirling into a spiralling blast of sun-kissed, feel-good Balearo-pop. Swarming synth melodies, warm vocals and earnest guitar solos, make it one of the album’s most immediate hits. The mysterious “Barbara” graces the enormous power-pop-meets-Italo jam “Love Reaction” before closer “Deco District” luxuriates in what Matt Anniss described as a “grandiose combination of poodle-perm campery and rush-inducing arpeggiated synthesizer lines”. Who are we to disagree?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteve worked with Be With’s audio engineering ace Simon Francis to remaster Burning Feeling from the original mixes especially for this double vinyl release. Steve says Simon nailed it “with no muss or fuss”. Steve also commissioned new artwork from designer Kane Banner. The results are a fresh take on the original CD cover that goes even deeper on the 80s serial-killer romance novel vibe. Just right for this killer album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDigging out those original Burning Feeling mixes got Steve well and truly back in the Lovelock mood. As well as knocking out some lockdown remixes for fun, he’s also been working on new material that definitely deserves a vinyl release of its own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Tracklist: \u003cbr\u003eA1 : Burning Feeling (6:33) A2 : The Fog (4:13) B1 : Don’t Turn Away (From My Love) (8:54) B2 : South Beach Sunrise (5:22) C1 : New Age Of Christ (5:01) C2 : Maybe Tonight (6:37) D1 : Love Reaction (4:56) D2 : Deco District (7:11)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Be With Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41245683548316,"sku":"BEWITH106LP","price":29.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/BEWITH106LP.jpg?v=1637650573"},{"product_id":"arthur-russell-another-thought-2lp-1","title":"Arthur Russell - Another Thought [2LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 2LP\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: BEWITH108LP\u003cbr\u003eEAN: 4251804125437\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 07 Dec 2021\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Avant Garde\/Post-Disco\/\/Ambient\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2026 VINYL REPRESS \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother Thought was the first collection of Arthur Russell’s music to be released after his death in 1992. Released in 1993 on Point Music it marked the beginning of nearly 30 years of work to let the world hear the enormous archive of unreleased recordings Arthur left behind. Be With revisits this first compilation for a new gatefold double vinyl version and a triple-fold digipak CD reissue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth versions of Be With’s 2021 reissue of Another Thought have been mastered by Simon Francis and the vinyl cut by Pete Norman. The original artwork has been restored and tweaked at Be With HQ for the gatefold sleeve and the triple-fold digipak, with the essential help of Janette Beckman. Each version comes with an insert reproducing the liner notes and lyrics from the original CD release.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether with Calling Out Of Context, Soul Jazz’s World of Arthur Russell, and much of the ongoing work of Audika, Another Thought is absolutely essential for even the most casual Arthur Russell collection. In fact we’d argue it’s essential for any fan of non-obvious pop music. This is the only place where you can hear some of Arthur’s most recognisable tunes and it’s an album that absolutely deserves to be kept in press.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe’ll assume that by now you’re all at least a little familiar with the story of Arthur Russell, the farm boy from Iowa who moved to 1970s New York. Arthur Russell the genuine musical genius who died just 40 years old, leaving behind a wealth of music that dwarfed the few 12\"s and LPs that were released during his short life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough Arthur had been working on an album for Rough Trade during his last years, with the label no-longer operating it was Point Music (Philip Glass and Michael Riesman’s label set up together with Philips) who stepped in to help Arthur’s partner Tom Lee start working out exactly what Arthur had left behind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTom suggested that Arthur’s friend Mikel Rouse was the right person to make the first catalogue. Working in Tom and Arthur’s apartment he had only two weeks to go through what turned out to be around 800 tapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Tom explained “at the end of each day he would generally wait for me to come home and I would, to the best of my knowledge, name and identify pieces in question from that day’s work. As he worked Mikel compiled about a dozen cassettes that he thought would present the most finished sounding songs for Don\/Point to use. As Don listened he would then suggest and ask me and thus we collaborated on the choices.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon is Don Christensen, Another Thought’s producer. With a final selection of songs from recordings made between 1982 and 1990, including sessions with some of Arthur’s regular collaborators Peter Zummo, Steven Hall, Mustafa Ahmed, Elodie Lauten, Julius Eastman, Jennifer Warnes and Joyce Bowden, it was then Don’s job to turn these into a finished album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother Thought is a little different from the compilations of Arthur’s music that came out since. In our conversations with Steve Knutson (who founded Audika Records and who manages Arthur’s estate together with Tom), he explained that “more than any project released by Arthur during his lifetime or posthumously by Audika, ‘Another Thought’ is the most worked over. The material was significantly edited and rearranged from the original source tapes”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the aim was to release a comprehensive exploration of every facet of Arthur’s music, from the most avant-garde of his avant-garde compositions through to the most disco-not-disco of his disco-not-disco tunes then the project was a spectacular failure. But as a coherent album of non-obvious pop music Another Thought is wonderful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarting with the sparse voice-and-cello of the title track, A Little Lost adds some guitar along with the sneaking suspicion that we’re listening to something nowhere near as simple as it first sounds. By the time we get to This Is How We Walk On The Moon - it could be the moment you notice the congas, or the percussion that’s been building behind them, or maybe it’s that blast of trumpet and trombone - we realise we’ve gone from splashing around to being completely submerged in the musical world of Arthur Russell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom here the album heads off on its journey around the sounds of the left-field contemporary classical music of the time, re-directed towards pop ears, with minor detours through the swirling woozy disco of the half-remembered night before on In The Light Of The Miracle and My Tiger, My Timing. Whether it’s just Arthur, his cello and some bleeps on Just A Blip, or whether he has some vocal help as he does on the bounding Keeping Up, this is difficult music made so, so easy. And through it all is Arthur’s voice and cello. Sometimes drowned in distortion and sometimes clear as a bell, but always there somewhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Sudden Chill finally returns us to the calmer waters we started in and this last track closes the album with a melancholy that’s not surprising given how soon after Arthur’s death the album was put together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhilst Another Thought holds together with the consistency of a proper album, there’s still no getting away from the fact that this was put together from audio recorded in different ways, in different places, with different people at different times. Those with keen ears will hear traces of tape hiss, the occasional blown-out note and some digital fuzz, all fingerprints of those original recordings as well as of the 1990s digital equipment that was used to piece Another Thought together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdd to this Arthur’s obvious pleasure in making music from the sort of sounds that can make microphones, speakers and ears uncomfortable, it’s no surprise that Another Thought isn’t glossy and pristine. Don Christensen’s productions have been careful to not scrub up those original recordings so much that they lose their original vibe, understandable given that Arthur wasn’t around as a guide. We’ve applied a similarly light touch with the mastering for these Be With versions, just working to make sure they sound like they should on both the vinyl and the CD.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite the Discogs rumours, Another Thought was never originally released as an LP. So when it came to the sleeve for this Be With vinyl version we took the original CD artwork as a starting point to come up with something that looks like it could have been in the record racks back in 1993.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have to thank Janette Beckman for helping us reproduce her iconic photograph of Arthur in his newspaper boat hat. One of many photographs she took of Arthur, Janette shot this in her New York studio back in 1986 for a short article in the January ’87 issue of The Face Magazine. Those with eagle-eyes will notice we’ve used an ever-so-slightly different shot from the one that appeared in The Face and then again on the original cover of Another Thought. The original has long since been lost so we’ve worked with what is left in Janette’s archives. And we also have to thank Tom Lee for giving us permission to reproduce his liner notes from the original CD booklet, together with Arthur’s lyrics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Tracklist LP and CD: 01 : A1 : Another Thought (02:16)\u003cbr\u003e02 : A2 : A Little Lost (03:18)\u003cbr\u003e03 : A3 : Home Away From Home (05:12)\u003cbr\u003e04 : A4 : Lucky Cloud (02:16)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e05 : B1 : This Is How We Walk On The Moon (04:42)\u003cbr\u003e06 : B2 : Hollow Tree (02:30)\u003cbr\u003e07 : B3 : See Through Love (04:46)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e08 : C1 : Keeping Up (06:20)\u003cbr\u003e09 : C2 : In The Light Of The Miracle (06:05)\u003cbr\u003e10 : C3 : Lucky Cloud (Return) (03:00)\u003cbr\u003e11 : C4 : Just A Blip (03:42)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12 : D1 : Me For Real (04:55)\u003cbr\u003e13 : D2 : Losing My Taste For The Night Life (04:34)\u003cbr\u003e14 : D3 : My Tiger, My Timing (05:41)\u003cbr\u003e15 : D4 : A Sudden Chill (02:45)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Be With Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41277641883804,"sku":"BEWITH108LP","price":36.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/BEWITH108LP_bbd730eb-08d2-4beb-8a9b-2867af3a3479.jpg?v=1638800010"},{"product_id":"the-waxidermist-tribe-lp-gf-dlx-print","title":"The Waxidermist - TRIBE (LP, GF, DLX Print)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: SOS016LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 4251804135115\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 13 May 2022 (back in)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Hip Hop , Soul , Instrumental Hip Hop\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTS:\u003cbr\u003eA1.

It became a mega hit, totally unplanned, but how could you resist such a track?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"FILM 2\" is the ultimate b-side monster, a menacing all-instrumental pre-techno masterpiece, slowly building to a magnetizing frenzy. An instant underground favorite, it was famously heard played at both speeds depending on the scenes and DJs you were frequenting, 45rpm as it was first intended, and 33rpm for the cosmic experience (search Daniele Baldelli’s Cosmic C75 1982 mixtape online for a great example of this).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe maxi single ends with \"Ich Lieb Sie\", a synth-pop meets doo-wop ballad, a true love song oozing with innocence. Simple, stylish, and just right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the crossroads of post-punk, new wave, pop, and electronic experimentation, the Eisbär maxi offers three songs that are technically different but hold the same spirit, the perfect embodiment of Grauzone’s music - wild, unpredictable, and youthful, yet sophisticated, catchy, and ingenious. The magic recipe for the good stuff.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephan Eicher went on to be, arguably, the most successful Swiss musician ever, with an international career extending from pop chanson to experimental escapades and collaborations with Moondog, artists Sophie Calle and John Armleder, and author Martin Suter among many other luminaries.

Liner notes from Ivan Smagghe and artwork from Misha Hollenbach (Perks and Mini).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSky Girl is a mysteriously unshakeable companion, a deeply melancholic and sentimental journey through folk-pop, new wave and art music micro presses that span 1961-1991. A seemingly disparate suite of selections of forgotten fables by more or less neverknowns, Sky Girl forms a beautifully coherent and utterly sublime whole deftly compiled by French collectors DJ Sundae and Julien Dechery. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Scott Seskind’s adolescent musical road movie to Karen Marks' icy Oz-wave, the charming DIY storytelling of Italian-American go-getter Joe Tossini and the ethereal slow dance themes of Parisian artists Nini Raviolette and Hugo Weris, Sky Girl resonates on a wide spectrum historically, geographically and stylistically. It unites in a singular, longing, almost intangible ambience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the names sound wholly unfamiliar that doesn’t matter, the nature of the compositions swiftly nurtures an intimacy with these lonely, poignant, openhearted wanderers. Most were available in a very limited capacity at the time of their release, some were never really released at all - Gary Davenport declined to release Sarra after he split with the girl for whom the track is named - years later a friend convinced Davenport to allow him to put 100 copies online to sell and DJ Sundae was quick enough to snare one. Beyond their scarcity, these tracks are bound together by a certain raw beauty that's achievable when music is made and no one is listening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSky Girl comprises of fifteen officially licensed songs, a two year international scavenger hunt through long-folded home label operations, the depths of internet forums and traceless acetates. Both compilers are well trained record sleuths - DJ Sundae's labels Hollie and Idle Press have reissued Arthur Russell affiliate Nirosta Steel and DIY relic Pitch, while Julien Dechery previously compiled 'Fire Star', a retrospective on Tamil film composer Ilaiyaraaja, for Bombay Connection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A1.

Recorded in Orbital’s Brighton studio, “Optical Delusion” includes contributions from Sleaford Mods, Penelope Isles, Anna B Savage, The Little Pest, Dina Ipavic, Coppe, and perhaps most surprisingly, The Medieval Baebes.\u003cbr\u003eEarlier this year, Orbital celebrated their storied history with “30 Something” which, unlike other Best Of’s, contains reworks, remakes, remixes and re-imaginings of landmark Orbital tracks including “Chime”, “Belfast”, “Halcyon”, “Satan”, and “The Box”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A human being experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest [of humanity] – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison…”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou many have seen this quote attributed to Albert Einstein on social media, the archetypal Smartest Guy Ever apparently having an out-of-character religious epiphany. It certainly leapt out at Paul Hartnoll of Orbital who spotted it in Michael Pollan’s 2018 book How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression and Transcendence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“As soon as I saw ‘optical delusion’ I thought Oh hey, that’s the album title,” says Paul. “It just seemed to say so much about how people construct their own realities, how we see patterns that aren’t there, how we see what we want to see.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“But it’s actually a misquote. He never quite said that. In the German original what he’s really saying is that human experience is as relative as physics. Wouldn’t it be good if we could accept that, and find a kind of universal theory of everything for the human race? Then you look at everything from history to art to your Twitter feed and you think yeah, that’s what we’re all trying to do all of the time…”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHence ‘Optical Delusion’, the tenth original Orbital album and the latest in a burst of renewed post-pandemic creativity for two brothers who’ve stayed at the top of their game longer than anyone from the post-1988 Class of Acid House.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow with ‘Optical Delusion’ the Hartnolls dig deeper into the unquiet psyche of our increasingly surreal and disordered world. Sketched out partly during lockdown but fully recorded in the uncertain After Times, the album summons up conflicting emotions and sometimes beguiling images from years when the science fiction doomsdays that the Hartnolls watched on TV as kids finally came true. There are mesmeric tracks with names like ‘The New Abnormal’ and ‘Requiem For The Pre-Apocalypse’ and ‘Day One’. But there are also straight-up bangers and ethereal cosmic dreams, abstract sound wars and deeply human songs of separation and loss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd it all starts with a bang. Lead single ‘Dirty Rat’, an outright Fall-meets-Front-242 class rant with vocals by Sleaford Mods mob orator Jason Williamson, harks right back to the Hartnolls’ days of politicised anarcho-squatpunk. It began as a remix swap (Orbital did the Sleafords’ ‘I Don’t Rate You’) and morphed into a comic, brutal, bass-driven harangue not so much against our rulers but at the petty, mean-spirited, frightened, Mail-reading voters who put them there: the people who are “blaming everyone in hospital\/blaming everyone at the bottom of the English Channel\/blaming everyone who doesn’t look like a fried animal.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso key to the album is opening track ‘Ringa Ringa (The Old Pandemic Folk Song)’ which returns to an Orbital truism, that time always becomes a loop. This chugging, cyclical Orbital groove gives way to an unnerving past-meets-present timeslip fit for ‘Sapphire And Steel’ as goth maenads The Mediaeval Baebes materialise to sing ‘Ring O’Roses’ – the innocent nursery rhyme whose roots are in the Black Death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I’ve always liked folk music and mediaeval sounds,” says Paul, himself an occasional Morris dancer. “I had the basis of that track and I wanted to spin it off somehow.” Trawling his archives he stumbled on The Mediaeval Baebes’ version of ‘Ring O’Roses’ “and my hackles just went up. I was like, my God, this is the original pandemic folk song.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e?his being Orbital, there are collaborations galore on the album, the roles once played by Alison Goldfrapp, Lady Leshurr or David Gray now filled by new talents. London singer-songwriter Anna B Savage contributes a compellingly fragile, Anohni-like vocal to ‘Home’, in which nature reclaims the scorched and vacant mega-cities. ‘Day One’ is a pulsing techno track featuring the singer Dina Ipavic. Paul got in touch with her after working on a score for a sculpture show of giant robotic installations by his friend Giles Walker during the pandemic. First Paul cut up his own score and Ipavic’s vocals on the track The Crane, which appears on the deluxe version of the album. Then he thought, Why not work with her for real? The result is school of ‘Belfast’, a bassy dreamscape with vocalised clouds billowing above.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pensive ‘Are You ?live?’ adds to the Orbital product range of existential questions (‘Are We Here?’, ‘Where Is It Going?’) in collaboration Bella Union signings Penelope Isles, AKA brother and sister act Lily and Jack Wolter. “They’re our studio mates, they work upstairs!” says Paul happily. “And they’ve both got amazing voices.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Orbital are Orbital and never far from the dancefloor. “Eventually the more abrasive bits came back into the fold…” ‘You Are The Frequency’, first of two tracks to feature mysterious vocalist The Little Pest, surrounds the listener with warped voices ordering you to the dancefloor (Phil: “we wanted the idea that the music is kind of absorbing you”). And the second, the sinister ‘What A Surprise’, traps you in a paranoid electronic hall of mirrors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn another nod to Orbital’s resurgent past the cover artwork once again comes from fine art painter John Greenwood, creator of fantastical grotesques for the covers of ‘Snivilisation’, ‘In Sides’ and Orbital’s most recent album, 2018’s ‘Monsters Exist’. Orbital had just had a slick Mark Farrow cover for ‘30 Something’ – this is a return to the overripe and bulbous techno-organic constructions that somehow express Orbital’s own uncontrollably fertile sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are gaps in the future that Orbital are desperate to fill too; there will be tours and festivals and rooms and fields full of people. Those long paralysed months when we had little to look forward to but a Zoom DJ set made Paul and Phil appreciate the things that make life worth living.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42119578779804,"sku":"LMS5521858","price":10.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/LMS5521858.jpg?v=1666949396"},{"product_id":"orbital-optical-delusion-2lp-black-vinyl","title":"ORBITAL - OPTICAL DELUSION (2LP, Black Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: 2 x LP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: LMS5521859\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 5060555218591\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 17 Feb 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Electronica\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDOUBLE BLACK LP : 2 x 140 G Black Vinyl , Sleeve \u0026amp; 2 x Heavy Weight Printed Inner with UV Gloss Finish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTRACKLIST DOUBLE VINYLS:\u003cbr\u003eA1.

Sketched out partly during lockdown but fully recorded in the uncertain After Times, the album summons up conflicting emotions and sometimes beguiling images from years when the science fiction doomsdays that the Hartnolls watched on TV as kids finally came true. There are mesmeric tracks with names like ‘The New Abnormal’ and ‘Requiem For The Pre-Apocalypse’ and ‘Day One’.

Lead single ‘Dirty Rat’, an outright Fall-meets-Front-242 class rant with vocals by Sleaford Mods mob orator Jason Williamson, harks right back to the Hartnolls’ days of politicised anarcho-squatpunk. It began as a remix swap (Orbital did the Sleafords’ ‘I Don’t Rate You’) and morphed into a comic, brutal, bass-driven harangue not so much against our rulers but at the petty, mean-spirited, frightened, Mail-reading voters who put them there: the people who are “blaming everyone in hospital\/blaming everyone at the bottom of the English Channel\/blaming everyone who doesn’t look like a fried animal.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso key to the album is opening track ‘Ringa Ringa (The Old Pandemic Folk Song)’ which returns to an Orbital truism, that time always becomes a loop.

London singer-songwriter Anna B Savage contributes a compellingly fragile, Anohni-like vocal to ‘Home’, in which nature reclaims the scorched and vacant mega-cities. ‘Day One’ is a pulsing techno track featuring the singer Dina Ipavic. Paul got in touch with her after working on a score for a sculpture show of giant robotic installations by his friend Giles Walker during the pandemic. First Paul cut up his own score and Ipavic’s vocals on the track The Crane, which appears on the deluxe version of the album. Then he thought, Why not work with her for real? The result is school of ‘Belfast’, a bassy dreamscape with vocalised clouds billowing above.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pensive ‘Are You ?live?’ adds to the Orbital product range of existential questions (‘Are We Here?’, ‘Where Is It Going?’) in collaboration Bella Union signings Penelope Isles, AKA brother and sister act Lily and Jack Wolter. “They’re our studio mates, they work upstairs!” says Paul happily. “And they’ve both got amazing voices.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Orbital are Orbital and never far from the dancefloor. “Eventually the more abrasive bits came back into the fold…” ‘You Are The Frequency’, first of two tracks to feature mysterious vocalist The Little Pest, surrounds the listener with warped voices ordering you to the dancefloor (Phil: “we wanted the idea that the music is kind of absorbing you”).

When Classroom split, Daniel Schell and Pascale Son moved ahead and formed Cos together with Charles Loos, Alain Goutier and Bob Dartsch. They produced an experimental jazz rock sound linked to the influences above mentioned, but without being mere copycats since they always managed to keep to their own personality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePostaeolian Train RobberyI is an obscure classic from the 1970's Belgian jazzy prog scene that has become a much sought after piece in the collector's market since it was originally released in 1974. Highly inspired by both the UK's Canterbury scene and the Zeuhl sound, the debut album by Cos has been compared to the likes of Soft Machine, Gong, Hatfield \u0026amp; The North, National Health, Gilgamesh, Egg, Placebo, Magma or Zao, with Pascale Son's unique wordless vocals and nonsense syllables singing in a voice that some sources have compared to Flora Purim's.The album was released on the small obscure label Plus, and has arised interest not only among prog-rock psych-heads and jazz experimentalists, but also among those looking for breaks and bits to sample.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wah Wah reissue comes housed in a beautiful reproduction of the original gatefold sleeve, featuring a 4-page image booklet and an insert with photos and liner notes.

Originally out in 1983 it features two Polish composers, Andrzej Marko and André Mikola. If outré synth-funk is your thing, you need this record. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmost blindingly luminous with positive vibes and radiant optimism, Fly Me to the Sun is a collection of funky, sun-dappled compositions for synthesizer and live instruments like drums, bass and guitar. A dope blend of beatbox driven future jazz and electro pop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wonderfully sleaze-adjacent opener \"Dhamma\" includes some grandiose piano chords amid floating ambient sounds a la Steve Hillage with slick drums entering the fray at a languid pace. \"Circulation\" sounds like Bowie ran into Chaz Jankel during an extended stay in Los Angeles, the Thin White Duke emerging out of a studio at 6am, bleary-eyed and clutching this filthy, bleepy instrumental of sonic smut. \"Magic Scenery\" is as delicate and astounding as the title suggests, a deep ambient movement conjuring halcyon images of rolling fields with abundant fauna and flora; acid-tinged visions of intense colour and natural beauty. Cool, slo-mo breaks adorn the strutting melancholy of “Longing for Tomorrow” and “Nocturnal Flowers” to close out Side A. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSkip the title track, which opens up Side B, and head straight to “Birth of a Butterfly” for a slice of creeping digi-dub-soul niceness. This should've been front and centre of that Personal Space compilation a decade ago. Raising both the tempo and the temperature, “Riding on a Sunbeam” continues in the mesmerising cosmic funk style before \"Osmosis\", one of the clear stand-outs, presents a fine vintage synth solo over a mellow funky rubberband beat. The closing track, \"Solar Heating\", warms things up with slapped bass and bold drum machine beats and the synth lends Sci-Fi vibes to the dark dub-funk-reggae rhythm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs David Hollander, in Unusual Sounds: The Hidden History of Library Music, states, Coloursound was \"founded in 1979 by composer, music lawyer, and vibraphonist Gunter Greffenius.

That's because \"coincidentally-cosmic disco\" packed with spaced-out, smacky-synth dynamite tends to become sought-after. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally slipping out on the mighty Coloursound in 1986, the label described the sound as \"contemporary synthesizer underscores played by computers; depicting future technologies in today's process.\" If they'd just added \"acid-drenched\", they'd have been closer to nailing it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe A-Side is totally beatless. It's also totally perfect. \"Atomic Plant 1\" is a pulsing synth epic and could've easily soundtracked a stylish 80s thriller such as Thief or To Live And Die In LA. It's a narcotically enhanced meeting between John Carpenter and Steve \"Lovelock\" Moore. \"Atomic Plant 2\" adds extra squelch and proper early computer synth squiggles. This stuff is addictive and truly ace. The 3 part \"Fusion Point\" showcases a dramatic and insistent industrial mood via a gripping sequencer pattern mixed with effects and accents. Menacing and magnificent. The trio of \"Nuclear Radiation\" tracks veer majestically from a hypnotic sequencer pattern with a heavy dramatic tune to hectic patterns without much of a tune, managing nevertheless to maintain a hold on the listener. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe drums enter proceedings on Side B and they're absolutely outstanding. Coming on like a slicker, heavier Johnny Jewel production, 20 years before Italians Do It Better, \"Regulators 1\" marries the smoothest head-nod beat you can wish for, with a murky mechanical rhythm and phasing effects. After the stunning beatless version (\"Regulators 2\") the suuuupppper slo-mo \"Data Load\" sounds like its wading through the heaviest K-Hole and is all the more thrilling for it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Modem\" is a brief and breezy funky bass and synth squiggle wonder, of the beatless variety. \"Robot Masters\", would you believe, actually sounds like something those Daft Parisians would've sampled on Discovery, over 15 years later. An uptempo, optimistic track with a real strut; propulsive rhythms with dramatic synths, what can only be described as \"very-80s sounds\" and digi-handclaps. The breathless \"Digiheart\" double bill rounds things out, one with a dynamic driving rhythm and more slick-as-hell beats and the other without drums. Mental, brilliant and completely essential. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs David Hollander, in Unusual Sounds: The Hidden History of Library Music, states, Coloursound was \"founded in 1979 by composer, music lawyer, and vibraphonist Gunter Greffenius.

A start-to-finish masterpiece of powerfully melodic music for reflection and introspection. It is, indeed, deeply emotional. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFans of Lynchian after-dark drama , Ry Cooder’s score for Paris, Texas and The Durutti Column will need to seek this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBranislave Zivkovic handles the majority of Side A. Opener \"Morning Light\" evokes exactly that feeling, with a gorgeous and plaintive acoustic guitar solo combining with alto flute to stunning effect. Its immediate counterpoint, \"Sundown\", is no less arresting but brings with it an after-dark drama of almost Lynchian proportions, again drawing upon guitar and flute but with a slightly more melancholic, even sinister edge, also calling to mind Ry Cooder's score for Paris, Texas. It truly captivates when the strings arrive. Remarkable. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reflective cello solo with swelling strings at the heart of \"Pastoral Walk 1\" ensure this track is aptly titled, with parts 2 and 3 adding more agitation - via keys and percussive elements - to great effect. \"In The Garden 1\" presents an elegiac cello solo whilst its second part elevates the romance. The four-part \"Soft Thoughts\" suite invites further introspection via reflective alto flute and guitar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndre Tschaskowski enters proceedings with three tracks at the end of the Side A. All of them aces in the pack. \"Grief\", whilst sorrowful, uplifts in its second half through beautiful keys. Equally hopeful are the two-part \"Personal Mood\" sketches, both dreamy exercises in optimistic ambience. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTschaskowski controls the entirety of Side B. \"Woodland Mood\", with its pastoral flute and cor anglais and \"Reminiscence\", with its classical, emotional strings, both beguile. The piano and strings-heavy \"Sentimental View\" suite is one of the most beautiful, atmospheric things you will ever hear, particularly its second part. \"Moonset 1\" with it's wonderful Joe Pass-esque guitar is tense yet easy, the beauty elevated further with the introduction of strings and horns. The more restrained \"Moonset 2\" is pared back to its divine, sweeping essence and should surely have been sampled by now. To close out an album of almost impossible refinement, the brief 2-part \"Emotional Tension\" salvo brings both increased stress before resolving itself and the LP with a piano motif and atmosphere of serenity. Blessed relief. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs David Hollander, in Unusual Sounds: The Hidden History of Library Music, states, Coloursound was \"founded in 1979 by composer, music lawyer, and vibraphonist Gunter Greffenius. A Munich-based library with a reputation for releasing innovative and ambitious music, it catered largely to the market for experimental sounds, its first release was 1980’s Biomechanoid, an abstract synthesizer excursion by Joel\u003cbr\u003eVandroogenbroeck, of the pioneering kosmische band Brainticket.

A real departure for Steve, this is a more mellow, soothing sound and can be regarded as Lovelock's response to these dystopian times. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew York-based multi-instrumentalist\/producer\/film composer Steve Moore is probably best known for his synthesizer and bass guitar work as Zombi, together with Anthony Paterra. Yet his Lovelock alias has been quietly blowing minds and warming hearts for a decade plus now. His latest effort, Washington Park, was not initially meant to be a Lovelock album. But Steve was posting little snippets of his work on Instagram and people started asking him: \"is this new Lovelock?\" It was at this point that Steve had an epiphany, of sorts. \"It occurred to me that Lovelock can be whatever I want it to be. So yeah, maybe this new lounge\/exotica record is, in fact, Lovelock.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWashington Park creeped out in a very low-key, early lockdown fashion and there wasn't much of a reaction. Says Steve, \"I just self-released it and all my usual suspects were down with it, but it didn't really make it outside of my own circle.\" Yet many of the Balearic heads in Europe were indeed on it and Be With were most certainly listening. So, when we struck a deal to do the vinyl version of Burning Feeling, we couldn't resist asking about Washington Park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGentle opener \"It Means Love\" grooves along in the laconic style, conjuring carousel innocence and complimented by dreamy, spiritual sax and syrupy synth strings over a digi-soul beats. Title-track \"Washington Park\" glides smoothly in much the same vein, almost like a slightly more acidic, squelchier version of the preceding track with more insistent organ. Swoon. Closing out Side A, steady ambient gem \"We'll See\" is all gorgeous, soft pads with plaintive guitar and organ giving way to soaring digital strings over that metronomic drum machine soul. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlip for the eerily brilliant \"Seduction\", a track which starts like a minimalist slice of Tommy Guerrero-esque guitar and drum machine soul but soon takes on a more menacing bent as Steve leans into his long-held predilection for horror by creating a slow-mo haunted house jam. The tempo (and temperature) rises with \"Center Square\", a Latin rhythm section and a sensual sax rubbing up against hot and heavy organ and string action. Steamy! To round things off, the ominous creeping groove of \"Rhythm 77\" feels like exotica-in-excelsis. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWashington Park was recorded over the first few months of the pandemic, during the spring of 2020, against the backdrop of his kids being out of school which meant daily walks and bike rides through Washington Park in Albany. It was during these moments of family activity and gentle movements, trying to make sense of the chaos engulfing his world, that Steve formed the ideas that led to this album. To make it manifest, he used all his old Roland beat boxes (CR-78, Rhythm 77 and Rhythm 330, Rhythm Arranger) plus a Chamberlin Rhythmate for all the percussion. Basslines were usually performed with his Moog Source or Minitaur and for pads and brass he used his Sequential Prophet 600 and Roland Juno 60.

The results are predictably wonderful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith past projects under our belt working with everyone involved so far it made perfect sense for Be With to take on the vinyl release of this instant library classic. But why is it called “Tea With Holger”?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Holger” is of course Holger Czukay and the whole LP is dedicated to Smith and Mudd’s time spent with him and Ursa Major at Can’s famous Inner Space Studio in Weilerswist, near Cologne.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen not recording it seems they spent a great deal of time sat around being entertained by Holger’s stories and drinking many cups of different sorts of tea from all over the world. These moments provide some their fondest memories of their visits:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Looking back, it was pretty incredible that we spent part of our lives with Holger in one of the most magical places we’ve ever known, Inner Space Studio. We have our memories and, of course, the Bison album we made with him. But to honour the time we spent with him, we wanted to dedicate an album to him called ‘Tea With Holger’. The names of the tracks are about that time.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album was recorded over several years in London, Margate and Gorthleck, a small hamlet in the Scottish Highlands. Mike Piggott, who played with Bert Jansch, handled the strings and played violin whilst Sam Creer lent his virtuoso cello work to the proceedings. The sessions employed a key recording technique from their time with Holger: hit record and play. They wanted to capture magical improvisational moments live and not do the work later on in editing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn their own words (and in classic library record sleeve style) these tracks are collectively described as “Balearic themes including breezy soul, sun-dappled melodies, warm pianos and sweeping strings”. You want to hear this, right?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album is vintage Smith and Mudd. The gentle piano ushering in opening track “The Gardener” is soon joined by low, bubbling drums. When the time is just right, lush guitars glisten above a Welsh language vocal that floats like silk. Easy as a sea breeze. “Innerspace” is of course a nod to Can’s aforementioned studio. Dark, heavy piano meets rolling drums before warm chords and luscious strings take over, gliding over moody grooves to drive you home. Closing out side A, “Weilerswist” delivers more beautifully rolling piano and guitars over thumping cellos and building drums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide B opens with the full, string-enhanced version of “Away From Me”. This is Smith and Mudd’s prefered version and it’s only available here on this vinyl issue. For us it’s the standout on this all-highlight album. Tribal tones, piano and cello set a melodic staccato for violin to soar over while rolling piano lines and gospel organ chords descend into a drum drop that leads to a glorious vocal lead finale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDistant synths introduce sun-drenched guitars and uplifting strings in “Kölner Street”, before a spacey Moog solo leads to a spellbinding, sci-fi drop. The sunshine returns before the track ends. The album closes with “Tea With Holger”. Airy vocal swells are punctuated by plucked cellos and picked guitars, all wonderfully warmed by a soulful piano.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCut by Pete Norman and pressed in the Netherlands by Record Industry, “Tea With Holger” comes in a classic KPM green sleeve complete with track descriptions from Smith and Mudd themselves. The finishing visual touches come courtesy of Richard Robinson. We’ve given this record the same care and attention as we give to each our KPM re-issues, and it’s just as essential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BE WITH RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42249703096476,"sku":"bewith070LP","price":27.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_9eadd003-f787-46f4-ae30-c52e91bdd5dd.jpg?v=1672056024"},{"product_id":"kim-anh-after-dark-remixed-m-pagliara-chrissy-alinka","title":"KIM ANH - After Dark Remixed (M.

Given the sounds they’ve been exploring over those ten years it was a cosmic inevitability that they would be asked to contribute to the catalogue of the legendary library label KPM.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey replied with Island Visions, an exploration of sound for vision where they construct “audio micro-worlds to explore and inhabit”. A way to transport the listener away from the everyday without the bother of getting on an aeroplane. Mind travel is space travel after all, and much better for the environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMostly recorded at The Centre Of Sound in Cornwall, with additional recording at Studio 34 in London, Jon and Pete’s travelling companions on this particular trip were boogie wunderkind Sven Atterton on fretless bass and keys, Nick Mackrory on percussion and the Seahawks live team of Dan Hillman and Alik Peters-Deacon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the grooves of Brian Bennett to the moog vibrations of Mike Vickers, the lush textures of Les Baxter to the experimental sounds of Delia Deryshire and David Vorhaus, this new music channels sounds and moods from across the KPM universe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe spacious “Hot Sand Shuffle” opens the record with some of Seahawks’ familiar “deck-shoegaze”. The slinky digi-dub of “Sky Blue Sky” follows, gently encouraging us to lay back and relax. “Mystic Beach” is a refreshing ocean spray of a synthetic groove that clears the head, priming a pathway to receive “Crystal Forest”, a new age house groove of birds and flutes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDense, deep and dreamlike, “Distant Shore” is ambient rainforest house with a 90s vibe, its dense foliage clearing to let us bask in the shimmer and shine of “River Run”. Hang drum, electric gamelan, flute and loon close side A.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide B bounces into being with “Catch A Wave”, an upbeat beach groover of synthetic guitar, effervescent synth and snappy drums. Equatorial bubbler “Paradise Bird Bath” soon glides in with marimba, crisp beats and fat synth bass. Fender rhodes, space echo and fretless bass make “Smooth Runnings” a laid-back poolside groove.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Spirits Have Flown” conjures a hazy vibe with marimba, sax, synth funk bass and chilled beats before “Rolling Deep” serves up a light cocktail of sultry rhythms, refreshing textures, cooling sax and fretless bass. Almost-title track “Island Blues” brings the horizontal poolside feels with melodic chimes, oboe and more fretless bass for maximum vibrations. The marina drone of modular electronics, celestial trumpet and jungle ambience pay the album’s final respects to the cosmos on “Sun Salute”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike many KPM suites, this is a record of two distinct sides. The sunrise of side A brings a deep meditation, a journey within to renew the jaded self. Side B refreshes with cocktails by the pool and a chance to groove away the evening at some sunset beach party before dancing under the stars in the house of dreams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePete’s front cover for the LP is part map, part postcard: “the record has five different sections and I wanted to reference those in the worlds they created, musically and physically. From beach campfire, to poolside hanging and nighttime dancing. A kind of portal to those places and the pictures they inspired in my mind. All places we’d like to be in this turbulent year”. The track descriptions on the back help guide the way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2020 marks 10 years since Ocean Trippin’, the first Seahawks release, and Island Visions is the perfect distillation of the sounds, sights, textures and moods that Jon and Pete have been exploring over the last decade. Sunrise to sunset condensed to two sides of an LP. The normal rules of space and time don’t apply here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first time Be With has worked with Seahawks, but individually Jon and Pete have been members of the extended Be With family since forever (Pete did those posters for our Ned Doheny tour and we worked with Jon on the vinyl version of Hatchback’s Colors Of The Sun). Of course we were going to put this out on vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMastered by balearic engineer of choice (and Be With’s regular audio co-pilot) Simon Francis, cut by the legendary Pete Norman and pressed in the Netherlands by Record Industry, the sonic frequencies of these Island Visions have been precision tuned and encoded for optimum travelling conditions.

Black Crow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEfficient Space is honoured to share the little-heard recordings of three Yolngu songmen from Northeast Arnhem Land - Bobby Bunnungurr, Jimmy Djamunba and Peter Milaynga (d. 2007) - working in collaboration with Victorian musician Peter Mumme. Yolngu are the indigenous peoples of Arnhem Land in Northern Territory, Australia; their clans are the Marangu and Malabirr, the languages Djinang and Gannalbingu. Their songs are of instruction, story and ceremony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA connection first initiated by Yolngu actor David Gulpilil, Waak Waak Djungi's mid-90s recordings were preceded by years of respectful sharing of culture. Mumme explains that \"the aim was to produce something that is new, not in the sense of a breakthrough, but what emerges from the combining of existing ideas\". What developed was sonically unique - sprawling vocal\/electronic soundscapes and field recordings that reimagine the traditional songs of black crows and white cockatoos, sharing, creation spirits and of leaving and returning home to country. Spacious and patiently durational, the songs resound in a big land with a big story to tell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the 1997 Waak Waak Djungi album Crow Fire Music, these interpretations were assembled with traditional recordings and additional material from Sebastian Jörgensen and Sally Grice. Falling short of generating public interest, it became well known in the Yolngu homeland. Nearly two decades later, a CD copy filed away in the 3RRR FM library would prompt a three year investigation to meet the people behind the music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWaak Waak ga Min Min (Black Crow, White Cockatoo) combines the previously unreleased Gandi Bawong with five contemporary versions from the original album, with a new cover painting by Bobby Bunnungurr. Tracing 1997 back to many millennia ago, this is a captivating window into the richness of Aboriginal culture and collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Efficient Space","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42357254029468,"sku":"es006","price":24.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/2_a7e788a9-03a5-41f6-b3dc-064dc56f470d.jpg?v=1676889784"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/collections\/was200223.oembed","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
