Songs for the Night No.02

Tape & Bil Wells "Fugue 3" (Immune 2010)

 

Tonight, a little bit too late, comes a huge little Minimal-Piano Track from Bill Wells and Tape., from the Album "Fugue". Both are signed on  Immune Records. The Tracks on the Album are the Result of a long Studio Recording Session in Tape´s own Studio "Summa", in Stockholm, Sweden. Words can´t tell what i feel about that one... Enjoy!


"Tape and Bill Wells first met in Stockholm while Bill was performing his music with The Concretes and Jens Lekman. Both artists were aware of each other’s work and upon this first meeting they spoke of collaborating together on a recording.
A year later Bill invited Tape to perform three concerts together at Triptych Festival in Scotland. During their visit a day was spent recording at Ca Va Sound in Glasgow. Those recordings were the start of something truly special. In 2008 Bill traveled to Stockholm to again perform some concerts with Tape and it was during this visit that a week was spent recording at Tape’s own Summa Studio. It was the recordings from this session that became Fugue. The four tracks selected were the ones where the music sounded like something completely of it’s own, something other than Bill Wells or Tape. With the use of piano, organ, Fender Rhodes, guitar, bass, electronics, drums and synthesizer Fugue is truly a unique and timeless recording from these legendary and prolific artists. Simplistic, searching and fragile. (Fluid-Radio)

Recording-Session for the Album "Pianotapes", released November 2010 on the Cologne based Label "Karaoke Kalk"

J´aime les Beats

"Nobody beats the Beats"   (Sonny B Recordings, 2002)
 
Two pretty obscure Space-Retro-Beats from the Copenhagen based Label Sonny B Recordings. The Tracks appeared 2002 on the very rare Compilation "Nobody beats the Beats", from the same named Musician-Collective formed in Danmark by Dj Typhoon and about fourteen (!) other Musicians and Producers. They were a very popular Underground-Act back in the Days and produced three Albums. Good Sounds, especially for that Time.

Mooncircling again...

40 Winks - It´s a Trip (Project Mooncircle, 2011)
Album-Snippet from April-Release on Project Mooncircle. Just beautiful melancholic  and flowering Beats, they really got Soul. Antwerpen must be as wack as Cologne..is there no Sun in this god damned Country?
40 Winks (Weedy & Padmo) are making Music since 2002 and in my Ears this is just the Way to do it. Deep Samples circling arround and playing with each other, perfectly arranged. Thät hits me from the Socks, as we say in Köllonia.

Very spacey Tune from a Music Director who was very famous in Pakistan in the 60´s and 70´s. Lets call it "Space-Sitar-Hammond-Mambo" ...feels like making crazy Moves.
I love Rana@Klick!

Songs for the Night No.01

"Kelan Phil Cohran And Legacy - Blue Nile
(Captcha Records, 1993) From the Album "African Skies"






















Just now, tonight, when Clocks suddenly run one Hour faster, when Time slows down like an old roaring Train passing by in Slowmotion, i will start my new Category "Songs for the Night". A Song, a Story. At least every Fullmoon again. For the Beginning, i will lead you into the wide Universe of Chicago´s Afro-Futurism-Leader Sun Ra. Im a huge Fan, since i heard the Track "Space is the Place" for the first Time, about five Years ago. His Album "Lanquidity" is still one of my Alltime-Favourite Jazz Albums. Sun Ra died in 1993. His Band-Mate and Friend Phil Cohran produced the Record "African Skies "with his Band "Legacy" right after his Death, as a Tribute to his Friend and Mentor. It was played Live for only one Time, at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Illinois that same year, and after that never again.

“African Skies” is a “nourishing and inspirational” document - a nuanced portrait of one of the most visionary musicians of our time in his prime." (Phil Cohran). 

"By channeling the energy of Sun Ra, Brother Phil brings us closer to enlightenment, closer to the cosmos with melodies that are as ancient as time itself. Sun Ra believed that music is the voice of the spirit, the energy we want to live within. In the aftermath of his death, Brother Phil drew upon his mentor’s cosmic perspective to produce an elegiac album that is utopian in spirit: a vessel brim-full of primordial vibes and a memo from some higher astral plane". (JazzTimes




This Song, and the Album show, in my Opinion, exactly what i mean when im talkin about "Astral Travelling". It drifts me far, far away, every single time i hear it and it always gives me such a warm and smooth feeling in my stomach wich stays there for a good while. Incredible deep Vibes from outter Space and beyond! 
I was just out for a Walk at the Rhine, just next to my Door, crossing the Südbrücke at the Rheinau-Harbor, watching the Light disappear slowly, melting into the Magic "Blue Hour", when the Colours of the Day slowly hide, and Night is finally taking over. The Skyline of my City, Cologne in Front of me...a cold Kölsch (Beer) in my Hand...listening to this Song on my Headphones...could it get any better?
