Nine Rain - Nine Rain


This collaboration, between one of the founders of the famous San Francisco avant-garde group Tuxedomoon, Steven Brown, and his Mexican friends has produced a very interesting result. Although, perhaps not perfect, this somewhat raw mix of rhythms, with melancholic saxophone and occasional bursts of unbridled energy, above all reminds me of Mexico because it's wide palette. If we look, e.g. pictures of Frida Khalo or a plate of Mexican food we will see one thing: an assembly of bright colors and intense flavors, all in one place. We have the same situation here. Full Flavor.
And what to say about all that, except, enjoy your meal :)

New Wet Kojak - Nasty International


If we ask what kind of music is this, I'm not sure we'll come up with some concrete results. Created as an extension of Girls Against Boys, this Washington-based group may be a rock, but it's also the noise, ambiental, or some kind of sonic passage that feels good to my ears. All in all, a thick and murky sound, based more on tension than on the riff.
After all, this is all just theorizing, what is important that I spent an hour in vacuuming and wiping the dust, enjoying, all thanks to this great album :)

John Lurie - African Swim and Manny & Lo


John Lurie, a strange guy, we could say, and also versatile artist. He dealt throughout his career with music, with acting and painting, always staying on the margins of the popular, yet leaving a strong impression on those who had the antenna to catch his signal.
And as for me, the signal was too strong to miss it. And what about your antenna? Does it work properly?  :)

Bohren & der Club of Gore - Black Earth


Fast food, fast fashion, fast movies, fast flow of information, rapidly maturing, fast courses, everything is fast and too fast ... And yet, if you want to make a break, a step further from the imposed rules, well, here is one of the possible solutions :)
Powerful, seductive and extremely slow solution :)

James Brown - The Payback


Knowing several live albums of James Brown, I realized that I mostly dissatisfied with them. While undoubtedly made of the great songs, I had objections, in the first place, with rarely changing repertoire, and for me never quite clear thing, completely ignoring songs from this fantastic album, which as a whole is definition of hypnotic funk ... You know, maybe the audience expected always the same hits, but I'm not interested in it at all. After all, there is the question of why anyone even record that huge amount of songs,  without giving them a chance to live ..
Basically, pandering to the audience, as for me, Is just tapping in one place and i have no motive to see artist on concert again. But, does that means you do not need to listen to this wild album? On the contrary, it should be consumed in large quantities :)

Terry Riley - Les Yeux Fermés / Lifespan [Soundtracks]


The other day, I was in the kitchen, preparing dinner. At the same time, from the other room, although not so loud, began to spread the sound of Terry's album " Les Yeux Fermésf ", slowly beginning to incorporate in my kitchen reality. And suddenly, there was no choice anymore, i was his, completely. He was my flute master and i was his snake. And in that particular moment of slavery, unexpectedly, I felt completely free.
Life is strange, isn't?

Peter Brötzmann, Mahmoud Gania & Hamid Drake - The WELS Concert


This is music for thinking, i say. How is that, you ask? There is just primitive sounds here. Well, just because. Just play it loud, spend an hour in the universe and after that, your thinking will be rich and pure :)
