Click!

Here's more Cogwheel, even if it's spelled wrong. This 7" used to be a commercial gift for customers (or future customers) of famous Rollei Cameras and it even sounds like them....

More Allegro Jazz














































Thank to Michael we are able to post more of the amazing Allegro Jazz Ensemble. This LP called "The Golden Mean" was recorded in 1984 and released in 1985 on the Melodia label. Once again very long and epic tracks: Fantasy in G Minor (10:23) and Composition on a theme of Cole Porter (10:34) on side A and Concert Suite in Three Movements (20:52) on side B. Enjoy!!

Outta Sightsound

Following my soft spot for obscure private pressings here's yet another one. Cogwheel's Sightsound LP from an unknown (to me) year in the seventies?? If you check the details here  you'll find that there is a classical background  to most of the tracks, especially on the first side. Opening with lovely "Krautrock" including reversed drums and epic synths, it flows guitar-gently until the standout track "Latin Glasses" on side B wakes you up and calls for a dance or two (i wouldn't dare to say it'd move masses but a little "free dance" should be possible). This track will definitely appeal to the lovers of library music. Maybe the whole thing will as it's close to the sound of some german libraries of that period (i'm still guessing 1976-1978 until someone with expert knowledge enlightens my dull dungeon). If you're not into classical melodies and obscure stuff save yourself from those damn ads on the download sites and forget about it immediately..... if you are a sucker for old cheese, you might be very happy with it.
Cheers, Basso

Thanks, Michael !























BIG THANKS!!!!! to Michael who was so kind to record this excellent russian Jazz LP. It's the Allegro Jazz Ensemble's first LP from 1980. Both sides seem to be suites again (just like on their "In This World" LP). Long and beautiful tracks...... Enjoy!

out of this world: In This World



Now here you have some Russian Jazz. I'm far from being an expert in Jazz from Russia but I guess there must be tons out there. Only have some Allegro, Arsenal, Bumerang and Kutsenko, ... and here is my fave among them: The Allegro Jazz Ensemble's "In This World" from 1981. Powerful sound with partly funky rhythms and some solid synths.... and then there's that bass in the last tune......... Both sides are suites, but I dared to divide them into parts.
Cheers!

Benoit Hutin - Synthétiseur

Benoit Hutin - WM 006, 1982 - Synthétiseur

With my head usually firmly stuck up the library end of music, I do occasionally rip other stuff. And what better place to share it than on The Growing Bin? Thanks to the team for letting me do so! Hope you'll enjoy the music :)

Having heard Benoit Hutin's fine contributions to the elusive librarylabel, Musax, I've been looking for his stuff. I found a somewhat battered copy of his 1982 debut album, and was happy to discover some fine electronic music so typically French; catchy and fittingly pompous. They must have added something to the tap water back then, enjoy!

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.

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

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

unidentified food




















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

ps. please check Four Tet on soundcloud. There's some free downloads of tunes from the first LP. THIS GEM and of course all the beautiful stuff from the recent years AND MIXES

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......
More info in the comments....
