The growing bin presents "Basic Instincts" by dutch connaisseur, collector, DJ and producer of some of the nicest edits around - Abel Nagengast.
We're damn happy to host another of Abel's all amazing mixes. This blend of 70s electronics, psychedelic rock, ethno jams and deepest disco grooves comes as deep as it gets. THANKS A TON, Abel!
Hip Address is David Earle Johnson's third album as a leader and the second with Jan Hammer in the keyboards chair. I would rate this one maybe half a notch behind Time is Free, his first. As usual Johnson is playing an amazing array of percussion toys (and sounding like a one man batucada section), Jan Hammer is hammering (literally) out the melodies and Jeremy Steig is guesting on flute on tracks A5, B2, and B3. This record also features several vocal tracks which as usual are a showcase for Johnson's wit and Zappaesque delivery.
Here's one of the finds from our honeymoon in Japan. That trip wouldn't have been possible without the help from my friend Chee, who also supplied me with some great japanese goodies. Have a look at his shop. He's offering some amazing records there : )
This particular record here has been posted at other blogs before as i detected some minutes ago, so I gladly give props to Post Miles and JJ's Jazz & Such. But I recorded the record to share it and that's what i do now.
Enjoy some amazing postmilesian Fusion, if you please.
Last weeks joy of cooking is archived and ready for downloads and streams. It is including tracks by Spiritual Beauty, The Doubling Riders, Delay Tactics, Haruomi Hosono, Dunkelziffer, Rockers Hifi, Pere Soto Group, etc.....
Check it out!
here's one of my favourite finds of the last years - Thierfeldt's "Dilattantischer Sentimentalismus".
Wolfgang Thierfeld, a member of the amazing Release Music Orchestra, is accompanied by Krzystof Scieranski, Hans-Dieter Lorenz, Friedemann Graef, Albrecht Riermeier, Zbigniew Namyslowski, Paul B. Engel and Bubacar Jameh. Their jazz is contemporary and it's awsome imho. Ambient fusion? I don't know - listen and tell me what you hear!

followers of the blog might know we're some decicated Tolouse Low Trax fans here. you might be interested that there's finally a new record out and YES - he did it again. deep industrial atmosphere meets mindbending rhythms meets the almighty - a winner. CDs are already out as far as I understood and the records are coming end of this week (mid february 2012).
Pink Project were an Italian covers band working in the early 80s. They produced cosmic disco versions of popular tunes from Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, Deep Purple, Michael Jackson, Space, Jean-Michel Jarre, etc. Domino was their first album, released in 1982. 6 of the 7 tracks are 2 song mashups. For example, the first track on the b side combines Alan Parsons' 'Hyper Gamma Spaces' with Jarre's 'Oxygene Part 4'. The music is well played and the combinations work well together. This 2lp set is fairly easy to come by and inexpensive if you look in the right bins. And . . . you can dance to this
tells the story of a world annihilation through nuclear war. A civilisation, unable to cope with its aggressions and cultural differences, obliterates itself with rockets and bombs of unheard destructional power. This requiem is dedicated to those men and women who shall survive a nuclear annihilation, and who will have the task of creating a World After."
Welcome to the dark side of private Elektronik! The appropriate soundtrack for some cold and grey winter days ....
The latest fashion ..... I kinda lost track of it a couple of years ago but eagerly trying to catch up ; ) I was trying not to think about that when making a mix/selection mostly consisting of jazzy and fusion faves for Chee's "visionary mixes" series.
check it out - THE WHOLE SERIES OF COURSE!
Young Marco is a gentleman from Amsterdam and when he's not working at Rush Hour, he's producing the loveliest house music I've heard in a while. Smile would rhyme .... Released on Lovefingers fantastic ESP Institute... of course ; )
Esa was a danceband from Cameroon who blended electronic sounds and disco bass into their soukous (African rumba) sounds. 14 musicians participated in the creation of this first record, released in 1986. Stephan Dayas Nguea, who produced and provided vocals on this album, is still carrying on as a solo act and still using the Esa id. This is my favorite from the Esa discography and a hard one to find, so a good one to share. Hope you enjoy.
Microneurosurgery with video tapes - Spinal Space-Occupying Lesions, by dr. Stergios Tegos
(Medical Publications, Konstandaras, Athens 1998)
This publication by dr. Tegos is divided into three sections, the first giving a general review of the commonest pathology of the spinal cord, the second detailed descriptions of 35 representative patients, and the third contains video recordings of the operations of these patients. The tapes contain no less than 12 hours of video, and as dr. Tegos puts it; "To provide a more pleasant, relaxing and less monotonous experience even for established neurosurgeons, Vangelis Papathanasiou has composed music for each of the operations separately." Be sure to check out the enclosed pages for a description of Vangelis' technique of "immediateness" for composing this massive amount of tunage. Our providing friend, who wants to remain anonymous, spent the christmas chopping up the 12 hours of tape for us to enjoy. Thank you for the effort! Here's a vid of case 24 to "enjoy", and check out the comments for links to the entire lot.
The Cut were a Norwegian New Wave/Synthpop group with a German singer/keyboardist who also wrote most of the songs. Volker Zibell also did the album artwork. Shadow Talks was their first album released in 1981 in Norway and, in this case, 1982 in Germany. Zeroy has had a nice long vacation from Blogsville, but I'm back with a fresh batch of new jams. More to come . . .
The growing bin PROUDLY presents a wonderful, deep and eclectic mix by L.A. based musician, hobby gardener, cat & dog friend and music lover Wolfgang a.k.a. Zuckerzeit a.k.a. Zucker Chimney.
Being a big fan of his mixes I am correspondingly VERY happy to host one of these beauties now .
Please spread your "Savant Wings" and take an hour long trip around the music world starting in Wolfgang's garden in California (see pics). Fly over to Germany, or to Japan, Spain and Brasil. From Norway over Hungary to the Netherlands, Mexico or Africa and back to Japan - then listen again : )
Finally some japanese music again. Deep, spiritual, percussive and highly organic - no synthesizers needed. It might be perfect for this time of the year.... More info on the release here.
Happy new year folks!
Having heard some of Pilhofer's fine librarymusic in the classical vein, I was curious about this jazzy album. It has its moments, and do check out Pilhofer's liner notes.
Snowfall Quiet Storm Christo Retendor Douar Nevez Über Dem Berg The Cavern Isle Royal For The Rest Of My Life (Thank you, Chee!) Hangover In Hannover Christmas In Spain (Edit for Afro & Tako) Take My Number Pane Caldo Transylvanian Countess Il Nostro Caro Angelo Standing Together Il Vendedor De Promesas (also for this one!!!)
Michael Bundt is a well known name among fans of obscure electronics. Here's his third solo album released in 1980 on Blubber Lips . It's a good bit more experimental than the predecessor, the lovely cosmic ether-pop record "Neon" - in fact even weirder than his first. Be prepared and grab your shades....
PS. maybe someone remembers the c64 game "Maniac Mansion"? I have always thought "The Tower Of Osc" would have been a nice addition to the soundtrack of that game. The tentacle song maybe? Chow chow!
Enjoy the music! We strongly encourage you to go out and dig the stuff out at your local recordshop, fleamarket, ebay, discogs or simply at GROWING BIN RECORDS.
The sound of a mp3 is NOTHING compared to a vinyl record in VG+ condition or a nice reissue on whatever medium.
All the here featured LPs are out of print. Let us know if they're not or if the owner of the rights doesn't like them being promoted. We will remove the "material" instantly!
We're always happy about your feedback / recommendation / links to nice places as well as contributions to the blog .
