World Psychedelic Classics 3: The Funky Fuzzy Sounds of West Africa ~ Love's a Real Thing
What an amazing, far-out listen! A really mind-bending collection of African grooves, one that digs deep into the West African scene of the early 70s and comes up with a massive batch of tunes that really opens up our understanding of the music. The sound here isn't just 70s Afro Funk, the tunes include a range of tripped-out styles that make the best use of guitar, psychedelic production, and important influences from American soul artists at the time. The sound is chromatically complex while also being tripped-out and funky, in a way that complicates the rhythms without totally taking them apart. If you've dug the tunes on previous sets like Africa Funk or Ghana Soundz, this is one to take that sound to the next level and really open up your ears.
The movie is a coming-of-age drama about a boy growing up in Astoria, N.Y., during the 1980s. In a series of flashbacks we see the young Dito, his parents, his four closest friends, and his girl Laurie, as each tries to navigate family, race, loyalty, sex, coming of age, violence, and wanting out. As his family becomes ill, and his friends end up dead, on drugs or in prison, he comes to believe he has been saved from their fate by various so-called saints, and returns home to Astoria, Queens, after a 15-year absence. The story is based on the memoirs of director Dito Montiel.

Incredible Bongo Band
Michael Viner was a Bongo player who put together a bunch of session musicians to record some percussion heavy tracks for the soundtrack to the film, 'The Thing with Two Heads'. The 1972 film's premise is that a racist white doctor has his head transplanted onto the body of a black convict.
Viner continued with his pet project, now called 'Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band', and in 1973 released an album on the Pride label (an MGM subsidiary that he ran). The album, 'Bongo Rock', features 'Bongolia' as well as a version of The Shadows' 'Apache', featuring a seminal drum break, a favorite of early Hip Hop DJs and one of the most sampled ever. In 1974 they released a follow up, 'Return of The Incredible Bongo Band'. Other than Viner and Botkin, some of the musicians who contributed include Jim Gordon, King Errisson, Bobbye Hall, Hal Blaine, Glen Campbell, Freda Payne and even Ringo Starr.
Kid Koala - Your Mom's Favorite DJ
Download Your Mom's Favorite DJ
NOW this is more like the Ninja release of days gone by – slick beats, some serious funk and a DJ who mixes the eccentric with the downright cool!
Kid Koala, aka Eric San, is one of the label’s most distinct and essential artists. Previous DJ masterclasses have included Scratchcratchratchatch, not to mention Scratch Happy Land and Some Of My Best Friends Are DJs.
His third album Your Mom’s Favourite DJ is a slick collection of romance, silent movie comedy and swing that your mother may well raise a smile at, woven together with classic hip-hop beats, breaks and general swathes of heavy guitars.
Occasionally, it contains a classic Motown feel, while at other times there’s nods to Northern Soul; ‘70s rock grooves trade places with cinematic interludes, while the various samples and cartoon flourishes merely add a unique glow that ensures the LP shines just as brightly as Kid Koala’s previous efforts.
What’s more, it draws on many of Eric’s own influences and his work as an illustrator, graphic artist, filmmaker, puppet master and musician.
Throughout, there are references to a book about a clarinet-playing mosquito that Eric is currently working on, plus to the musical puppet show he has in development.
And there are also some tests for a new group called Slew.
If that suggests Eric has become a little side-tracked, or is stretching his talent a tad too far, then don’t worry – the mix is seamless.
The beats are genuinely hip-shaking, the comedy as funny as hell and the breakdowns, mixing and turntabling as effortless and hip as they’ve always been.
So kick back or get your dancing shoes on and let Kid Koala seriously entertain you. This is 34 minutes of pure class that one wishes could only last longer!
Tinariwen - Aman Iman: Water Is Life
Tinariwen - "Aman Iman: Water Is Life"
As ‘difficult’ third albums go, this disc by the guitar-toting desert blues rebels sounds pretty damn effortless. Happily, producer and long term associate Justin Adams hasn’t fixed what isn’t broken, although there’s an extra layer or two of guitars and a more expansive sound, which should pull in a wider audience. Tinariwen are still riding those rolling traditional Touareg grooves, decorated with disarmingly simple lead riffs and counter-riffs, backed by overlapping meshes of chopping rhythm guitars, hand claps and ululating choruses. Their pentatonic scales will instantly give any delta blues fan the goosebumps, and they make no secret of their ‘Western’ influences – Hendrix, Robert Plant et al. – who all drew on similar sources.
Like its predecessor Amassakoul, Aman Iman successfully balances the upbeat with the plaintive, and density of sound with sparseness – although nothing is without the wonderful trademark desert drone. To the newcomer, the fact that there are four lead vocalists won’t be immediately obvious, as all have similar registers. But while Ibrahim Ag Alhabib delivers seven of the twelve tracks, it’s Abdallah Ag Alhousseyni who wrote and sings the loping early highlight “Mano Dayak” – the sort of thing Adams probably wishes he’d penned. In his atmospheric sleeve notes, the producer graphically recalls how Mohammed Ag Itlale ‘Japonais’ rejoined the group with “Ahimana”, a piece of spontaneous music-making typical of the way this band work as a fluid musical extended family. You can even hear the fire crackling and somebody’s mobile (?) going off during the opening acoustic guitar strums of Ibrahim’s lovely, trancey “Ikyadarh Dim”. The slinky wah-wah guitar funk of “Assouf” is how Sly Stone might have sounded if he’d had a stint in an Algerian refugee camp, lost a relative in a recent war and sung in Tamashek.
As with most contemporary albums, there are perhaps one or two too many tracks, but as a unified piece of work, Aman Iman sounds like an early highlight of 2007. It’s gratifying that, like their compatriot and kindred spirit, the late great Ali Farka Toure, Tinariwen haven’t deserted their desert home of Adrar des Iforas, and the music they make still evocatively reflects their love of it. A move to Paris or even the Malian capital Bamako – where this was recorded – would surely diminish what makes them special.

Chicago/The Blues/Today Vol. 1
What with all the porno music comps that have been released, it's strange that no-one has ever explored Brazillian porno music - after all, Brazil is one of those cultures that just oozes sex.
But that's where Sexy 70 comes in!
Sexy 70, from multi-instrumentalist and producer Che (AKA Alexandre Caparroz) is a collection of delicious "bossa-funk-lounge-soul-samba - Italian style" tracks that were inspired by the soundtracks of 70s 'Pornochanchanda' (softcore porn comedy Brazilian-style).
After discovering that it would be a lot of work to try and track down the original music from these movies, Che decided to pay tribute to the music used in those classic Brazilian softcore porn comedies by using the original music as inspiration and composing and performing some tracks himself!
The result is Sexy 70 - a lovely selection of soft and sensual bossa/samba tracks with a touch of contemporary lounge and nu-bossa.
