Terrordisco - Shortwave

here's a great / experimental mix from Terrordisco a.k.a. Sveinbjörn from Reykjavík, Iceland. He contacted me after hearing Abel's last mix for the growing bin describing "Short Waves" with words like this: "It's kinda conceptual, rooted in memories of playing around with shortwave radios when I was a kid."
Yep, that's what it is! And it's full of wonderful bittersweet moments....
Please check it out!! It's a highly entertaining piece of art
Thanks Sveinbjörn!!

The Cosmic Equation

More Lasry for synth fanciers. This one is from 1976 on the RCA Victor production media label. Lots of spacy noodling and some fine percussion on a few tracks. Lasry is credited with all instruments except bass which is covered by Jannick Top. Lasry's instrumental credits include reeds (flute, sax, and clarinet), mallets (marimba and percussion), keys (synths, clavinet, electric piano and piano). Some nice long tracks are included with this release, so it's one of my favorite Lasrys.

Miguel - Breathing The Rain Drop

Some time ago I got this this lovely ambient mix from my friend Miguel, who is a music promotor in Oporto, Portugal working with onedotzero and arquivo, organizing listening sessions and daily playlists.
I liked it so much that i asked permission to post it here and that's what I'm doing now. Thanks Miguel!

"Breathing the rain drop" is a wonderful deep meditation and the only cure against this hectic internet life.
Go dive.....

Krautberry Jams

Blitz is the third album from Thirsty Moon. This one is a full instrumental set with the Drogies brothers Jürgen and Norbert on guitars and drums. Unfortunately these are the only credits given for this release with the exception of the artwork on the cover credited to Gil Funccius. Lots of moogery and stellar drumming on all tracks. Longest track on the record, The Jungle of your Mind, is a showcase for the band's percussion mastery. My copy of this record was an Australian release on the Clear Light of Jupiter label. It was released in 1976 which was also the year of the original release on Brain.

PS the photo was taken in a beautiful restaurant in Osaka. Unfortunately I forgot the name of the place...

how does Brown taste?

maybe Jan Huydts knows? Or Ali Haurand or Leo De Ruyter?? Maybe you'll know after listening to this fine piece of experimental jazz from 1970? Released on the tiny JG label (Jazz Groove... yep it got some groove as well) this record does not wait in every box at the fleamarket, so I thought sharing it would be a nice thing to do.
If you dug this post over here and you wanted it a little less sweet then check out Brown Taste. It's completely different.... Most definitely something for fans of Third Eye. (Hyutds and Haurand were founding members).
Enough of the namedropping - go beg for a link in the comments ....

Cosmic Estonia

Hingus was the first solo release by Estonian keyboard wiz, Sven Grünberg. Synthesizers are the only musical component of this production. This rip is slightly stretched. Nothing wrong with longer jams.

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!

Drum & Synth II

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.

Nostro Gusto: Susto

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.

Cosmic Mashups

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

Requiem For A World After

"Requiem for a world after..... 

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 ....
