Nacht-Schicht

A long time after "Airport International" from the amazing Sound Factory Inc. has been posted here "Night Shift" finally follows. According to the info on the cover we're writing 1979 and the discobeat found his way into the Factory's grooves. Guessing from the sound "Airport" should be a few years older, 1975-1976 maybe... but back to 1979 - the Sound Factory Inc.'s sound is a little les focussed on trombone but they are still playing excellent Jizz Funk with Fritz Münzer laying down these lovely flute grooves. Even the infamous Rainer Pusch is doing his thing on saxophone here... on the keys Pit Löw, also known as P. L. (!)
The Sound Factory Inc. changed their name to "House-Band" in 1982 and recorded at least 3 library LPs in the following years. These will pop up here some time ..... just like the link for your Nightshift.
Cheers!

P.S. Doesn't the "Limehouse Groover" really sound like a Reith composition?

Vytas Offers More

First of all big thanks to Zeroy, Tako and Abel. Without them I probably still wouldn't have heard about Vytas Brenner and his music. In the last 3 years I have spent quite a bit of time and that other stuff trying to get hold of his complete LP catalogue and I yet didn't succeed. There's quite a few LPs he made.... and amazingly all that I got to know by now are excellent. Here's a special one "Ofrenda" from 1978. You might call this Psychedelic Jazz Funk. But first listen ......

info here

cheers, Basso

EXTRA THANKS TO ZEROY FOR THE GREAT IMAGES

may I lead you here??

Hi folks, I just found a real nice blog with tons of great japanese music.
Thought you'll be finding something lovely for your ears there, too.
Cheers, Basso

More coloursound

wanted to post this one too but it is already there.......
just in case you didn't see it yet - there's this wonderful Milan Pilar LP here

Thanks to Michael for the image, that I stole there

1984

 
Computer & Jazz - How does that sound to your ears?

Yep, that's what I thought too....  Austrian master bassist Adelhard Roidinger did probably receive some equipment sponsoring from ROLAND and offff he went. SH 101, Juno 106, MSQ 700, CMU 800, MFB 512, ...... some lovely little helpers, huh? With Peter Gröning on Drums and Gerhard Laber adding percussion he recorded 7 little gems of Future Jazz - back in 1984. The sound of the vinyl is amazing, just as all records on the small THEIN label from Bremen sound amazing. There really have been some enthusiasts at work. THANK YOU GUYS!!!

Cheers, Basso

Starship Africa

Found this one at the fleamarket this weekend and it ruled my recordplayer like a true space king is supposed to....

with scissors and glue in the library

...here's some tunes from libraries / soundtracks that have received the cut, copy & paste to death treatment. hope you enjoy these as much as I do .... more to follow.....

Private Trance Reissues

Adrian Marcator a.k.a. Marcator a.k.a. Trance released a couple of beautiful LPs in the late 70s and early 80s (see his 2nd above). One day when I visited him, he showed me his self produced & "private press" tapes that followed his LPs. Being a fan of ambient synthesizer music these tapes gained holy grail status in my book within minutes. We are now thinking about reissuing a selection of songs from these tapes on LP and I'd be really happy about your feedback.

You'll find the preselection of tracks here

Thanks for listening. Cheers, Basso

imagine you're in a restaurant somewhere at the other end of the world and you can't read the menu. You chose anything and when food is served you only have vague ideas what it might be.

cheerio!

Gelatenheid

Here's a lovely Jazz LP from the short lived "Dutch Treat" led by infamous Jan Huydts on keys and synths. Check out his recordings with the group "Third Eye" if you don't them already - amazing fusion stuff.... now Tranquility is the name of this album here and that's what it sounds like. A lesson in subtle finesse. Short and precise song structures instead of noodling it to death ... and then comes the drum solo....  but still you'll have your gentle wahwah guitars, funky flutes and bossa synths. Off to dreamland ....  Cheers, Basso

check out 678records who released never heard before tracks from Jan Huydts (together with Rob Franken and Henk Zomer) called KEYBOARD CIRCLE. they have soundclips and these sound amazing.....

Frozen Food

the joy of cooking frozen food (#9)

you probably know these days when there's no time to cook up something fresh and you just grab a pizza from the deep freeze and that's it for the night........ mmmh.... yeah that's it for this show too.

The damn job is VERY time consuming atm and so I filed through my harddisk looking for a suitable mix for the show. what I found suitable might not be everybody's cup of tea although the taste is pretty digestible. Guess it's from 98 or 99 and the sound is rather contemporary and mellow. no obscure flea market finds but names like Four Tet, Lemon Jelly and Karma.... even some beautiful IKEA music ; ) from the viennese lounge kaisers and probably some PORK releases too (was a huge Pork fan in the 90s... when I think of it...I still am!). Anyway I hope you'll enjoy some of these old tunes. Next time we'll have something real fresh again ... happy defrosting! Cheers, Basso

Baby Records rules

For E. & C.

Here's some high flyin' italian disco from 1979 ripped from a copy that was still sealed when I got it. Guessing from the instrumentation I expected Jazz Rock, but no no - it's Funk & Disco... Most of the tracks are really uptempo and I actually don't like uptempo disco, but the usual cheesy strings and crowds of backing girls are missing here - the sound is rather funky and I really like THAT. My #1 fave here is "Hey Lover" - a wonderful summer jam. Download instantly, put it on your ipod and get yourself some sunrays!

Or get your copy here. The prices for this gem have really gone down over the years. Cheers, Basso

pick up some Euro-Disko

Anybody into Euro-Disko? Here's some. "Life in the streets" -  It's cheesy and on top of that it reminds me of a lot of tracks that I don't wanna hear (including "I was made for loving you"), but still I like it and the damn hook is on accidental repeat in my head for days now... maybe it's the vocoded voices? Who knows... There's an easy to find 7" out there, but unfortunately the track is a lot shorter.

Now here's the long LP version.

Cheers, Basso

the joy of cooking Vol. 8

last tuesday's show of the joy of cooking is archived and you can listen right here

or download it over here at deepfrequency. 

This time I kept them records together after work and the playlist comes right away...

Pierre Barouh - 80 A.B 

Barouh is the head of Saravah Records. This one's from a "solo" record on his own label and it's featuring Brigitte's Areski on percussion. Ça va, ça vient

Marx, Rootschilt, Tillermann & Amby - Tag ist Nacht

translated "Day is night". Good spotters may know these names as they've appeared on a compilation we had on the growing bin before - "Musik Szene Saar". Well, these men here made it to a longplayer and it's filled with folky goodies that don't lack positivity and excellent lyrics. German only, sorry!

Cast - Sweetness

From the lovely same titled LP. Italian rare groove....beautiful as the morning sun

?? - ??

Sorry, but this remains a secret until I found a copy for my friend Chee. Promise is promise!

Googie and Tom Coppola - Let this river flow

From "Shine the light of love" - all killer LP...

Music For No Drawer - Dynamic 147

comes from a semi-strange private press LP from North Germany, 1978. Lots of these lovely flutes on the whole thing. Maybe I'll post it here at the bin soon...

The Psychedelic Schafferson Jetplane - A Message From The Underground Bunkers

Thanks a ton, Zeroy! This record from 2009 and you can get it from the guys directly. 

www.pastabase.net

Toni Esposito - Rosso Napoletano

First heard this a couple of years ago when blissfully zoning out on a friend's couch and I'm blessing him every time I'm listening to this. One of my "island records" for sure. Thank you, Tako!

Carl Weingarten & Walter Whitney - Dreaming In Colors

The title track of their 1985 LP. You can buy the CD from Mr. Weingarten directly...

Trimolo - Tempo 100 

Guess who has a soft spot for private releases.
Tempo 100 comes from a lovely self titled new age / jazz / folk LP from 1988. Recorded somewhere in Bavaria (yep, doesn't sound like Bratwurst and Beer, does it?)

Captured Moments - Sehnsucht

and another private one. a longtime FAVE!

I hope you'll enjoy the sound!

Cheers, Basso

We Love Cats

 

Even if you don't like cats you might like this one. Originally on Better Days from 1982.... almost 30 years later here's a fresh rip of Kakashi. It seems like the CD reissue is out of print just as the LP version from back in the days. So I'm happy to share this record with you. Before I do I'd like to give respect to Jamie Tiller for unearthing this beauty and making us aware of the fantastic "Umi No Ue Kera" that was included in his "Evening Shadows" mix. Big thanks also for the trade ; )

After a few listens I snapped it's not a one tracker. What do you think?

Cheers, Basso

Guest Mix: Seven Towers by Tolouse Low Trax

 

I'm superhappy to present Seven Towers - a mix by Tolouse Low Trax, solo recording artist, member of Kreidler and the man behind the world famous Salon Des Amateurs. If you know previous mixes like "Ocean" over at Lovefingers, "Savant Dance" at Kosmonautenschule or Mix at Vessel you know what to expect. If you don't - I give you 4 words: Deep, Intelligent, Obscure, Percussive and Experimental. And that's just the tip of his iceberg......... here you go ... diving.

Danke Detlef!

Flowers for my pony

Here's a fresh rip of Ernesto Nicelli's Volume II from 1974 released on the italian Pony label that I recently aquired. A look at the back cover tells the experienced library collector* that it MIGHT hold some real nice tunes. And it does... Mr. Nicelli or one of his friends owns a Moog (or something with a similar sound) and another guy really knows how to treat his reduced drumset. Not to speak of the flutes and guitars. The outcome is cheesy - of course! And you don't have to miss the female choirs you know from the other dudes like Umiliani, etc... the only thing you're missing now is the link and that'll follow as soon as I cut the recording into pieces.
Cheers, Basso

PS. If anyone of you guys will be at the Utrecht fair this saturday. Let's have a beer!
And of course go there if you're near. Expect some beautiful music......

The Band Of The World - Equatorial Planes (2011)

On my quest for Silver Seeds and Poison Gold i crossed the Sauce Cosmos just recently.

What a ride! I've been attacked by Jungle Jacks trying to Lengthen
my Shadows with Real Mirrors. ALready saw myself in an Air Burial

but survived by riding away on Race Worms MkII. We were riding through Waves of DNA until finally we landed on Soap Island to rest and spin some of our favourite Discs.

.
.

NOW YOU get your ride here

.

.

The Band of the World is Josh Rachenbach and Lisa Pace. They are a cube field electronic band from Los Angeles. BIG thanks to Josh for sending the link to the equatorial plane trip!

dedicated to my friends in Japan

I'd rather turn off the computer and use candles at night than keep getting electricity from nuclear power plants. Get your candles too and listen.

Must admit it's a little sweeter than the last shows as it was supposed to be one of the soundtracks to my holidays in the sun that are now officially over. it was nice listening to it and watching the seagulls play in the sky...... enjoying the scent of grilled tuna with avocado sauce and canarian wrinkly potatoes.

Hermeneutic ambiance

I'm not going to loose many words on this. It's ambient, it's funny and experimental and a grower and I really really dig it. Nothing for the jazzheads probably, but if you're into obscure electronic music you'll have fun! Lots...
Cheers, Basso


Not doing a little blog-research before posting is stoopid.
This lovely LP has been posted before on Just Another Garden
and Synopsis Electronica. Both of these blogs are fantastic!
