Mikuś - Brass Islands of Dub

http://www.nizetch.fr/public/images/Mill3k/mikus_brass_islands_of_dub.jpg

Origine du Groupe : U.K

Style : Dub

Sortie : 2011

Le londonien Mikuś est de retour dans nos chaînes hi-fi avec deux nouveaux EPs sortis simultanément sur Terra Incognita et Planet Terror.



Il y a quelques mois, Mikuś nous avait littéralement vampirisé avec trois somptueux EPs : Dub Mirror, Rain Down Dub et Dub Praises, sortis sur le netlabel Planet Terror. Aujourd'hui l'artiste
londonien revient nous assener une énorme claque musicale avec deux maxis qui explorent le dub bien au delà de ses frontières et qui attestent à nouveau de l'étendue du talent du
compositeur/dub-maker.



Brass Islands Of Dub est le premier opus de Mikuś sur Terra Incognita, label récemment monté par le musicien et son ami SixtySixNorth (dont on vous recommande l'EP Convergence Vol.1). Après un
essai très réussi sur le morceau Dub Mirror, Mikuś s'associe à nouveau avec le trompettiste de jazz Kevin Robinson. Les deux artistes partent à la conquête de nouveaux territoires sonores,
puisant leur inspiration au cœur des racines historiques, géographiques et culturelles des musiques qu'ils affectionnent.



On se retrouve ainsi transporté plusieurs centaines d'années en arrière, à l'époque des grandes explorations de la fin du XVème siècle, à bord des caravelles affrétées par Christophe Colomb pour
les Amériques (et notamment son 2nd voyage à la découverte des Caraïbes). Le titre Heavy Load illustre parfaitement la démesure logistique d'une pareille expédition avec une rythmique puissante
et une ligne de basse ravageuse. Kevin Robinson apporte un superbe contre-point mélodique à la trompette, évoquant la condition humaine des équipages à bord des navires surchargés de matériel,
armes et animaux.



Le second morceau marque une première étape dans l'exploration avec la découverte des côtes d'une île proche de Cuba : l'île de la jeunesse (Isla de la Juventud). Les deux musiciens
retranscrivent fidèlement les ambiances chaleureuses d'une terre encore vierge de l'emprise occidentale grâce à un dub-jazz agrémenté de musique traditionnelle cubaine et de sonorités
tribales.

On bascule à nouveau dans la réalité historique avec Way Things Used To Be, un morceau qui fait ressurgir dans nos mémoires les conséquences de la colonisation européenne sur les populations
indigènes. La rythmique est à nouveau pesante, comme pour évoquer des combats entres conquistadors espagnols et tribus Arawaks. La trompette mélancolique de Robinson résonne comme la complainte
des victimes de nombreux massacres durant cette période de l'histoire qui a aussi marqué le début de l'esclavage.



L'EP se clôt sur une note plus positive, on repart à la conquête d'une nouvelle île qui est devenue quelques siècles plus tard le berceau du reggae et du dub : la Jamaïque. La rythmique est
entraînante, soutenue par des skanks vaporeux et une ligne de basse enveloppante. L'aspect mélodique n'est heureusement pas en reste et la trompette aérienne de Robinson nous transporte des
plaines verdoyantes jusqu'aux hauteurs de l'île.



En l'espace de quatre morceaux, Mikuś et Kevin Robinson livrent une fusion inédite entre dub, jazz, musiques traditionnelle cubaine et sonorités tribales. Un pari audacieux qui se révèle très
réussi malgré la courte durée du maxi. En outre, les deux musiciens s'appuient sur un profond background musical, culturel et historique pour insuffler aux morceaux toute la densité qu'ils
méritent. Pour notre part, on est instantanément absorbé par cette musique tellement inspiratrice que lorsque l'on ressort de l'écoute, on se dit "encore !" et l'on repart pour une nouvelle
exploration de l'EP.



Tracklist :   

1. Heavy Load (5:32)

2. Isla de la Juventud (3:26)

The Battle of Los Angeles is the third studio album by Rage Against the Machine. It was released on November 2, 1999, and over three years after their second studio album, Evil Empire. Between
Evil Empire and Los Angeles, the band released a live album, titled Live & Rare. This album is Rage Against the Machine's most recent album consisting of original material.



The song "Calm Like a Bomb" is featured in the credits of The Matrix Reloaded. The videos to "Sleep Now in the Fire" and "Testify" were directed by documentarian Michael Moore. Both "Testify" and
"Guerrilla Radio" are also featured in the video game Rock Band 2, being on-disc and downloadable, respectively.



The album debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top 200 selling 420,000 copies its first week. That week saw a busy CD release schedule. The album denied Mariah Carey's highly anticipated album the chance
to open at #1. "Guerrilla Radio" was featured in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, albeit heavily edited on the Nintendo 64 version, and it is also heavily edited on "Madden NFL 10". Both Time and
Rolling Stone named it the Best Album of 1999. It was listed as #53 in SPIN Magazine's 100 Greatest Albums, 1985-2005.



The album cover art was an original artwork by the LA Street Phantom aka Joey Krebs aka Joel Jaramillo, a well-known Los Angeles artist who has exhibited at numerous galleries in Los Angeles, New
York City and throughout the United States.[1] Despite claims to the contrary, the image was not inspired by images from the 1992 street riots of LA or from images of Munich, but by the band's
own music and words, and represents one in a series of images of the artist's work, which can also be seen on various street murals in Los Angeles.[citation needed]



The Battle of Los Angeles was heavily influenced by the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. "Testify", "Sleep Now in the Fire", "Voice of the Voiceless", among other songs, include
direct quotes from the novel, and mention key Orwellian terms in the lyrics. "Voice of the Voiceless" also contains a quotation from the writings of Mao Tse-tung.



Regarding the album's title it is worth mentioning that there was an historical event called Battle of Los Angeles which took place on February 25, 1942, involving a large-scale anti-aircraft
artillery barrage against targets which subsequently remained unidentified.



Saul Williams sampled "Born of a Broken Man" for his song "Om Nia Merican", which appeared on his 2001 album Amethyst Rock Star.



In 2003, the album was ranked number 426 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

If Black Magic was the apology for the stab at commercial success of Heavy, Daggermouth is the explanation to the outright embarrassment of Armed To The Teeth.



If Black Magic was the apology for the stab at commercial success of Heavy, Daggermouth is the explanation to the outright embarrassment of Armed To The Teeth.



Over the last dozen years, Swollen Members perfected a brand of abstract rap disturbia. Two classics, two flops, and one comeback later, the MCs from the darker side of Northwestern America, have
more explaining to do. 2009‘s move to Suburban Noize Records saw the end of S&M’s Battleaxe Records. What followed was an absolute howler of an album called Armed To The Teeth. If Black Magic
was the apology album for the shameless stab at commercial success of 2003‘s Heavy, Dagger Mouth is the explanation album to the outright embarrassment of Armed To The Teeth.



A hefty amount of Dagger Mouth’s burden falls on the shoulder’s of the Misguided Angel, Mad Child. The Rocksteady Crew affiliate candidly admits to a multi-million dollar opiate dependency in
each of the album’s 16 tracks. “Thought I wanted to be king so I wore a crown/ started from the bottom, built an empire and tore it down,” he confesses on the Transformer-themed “Fresh Air.”



Mad Child, is somber, regretful and, at times, completely unconvinced about his own recovery. “The Shining,” opens with, “I’m feeling like I wanna die,” before he goes on to qualify himself as an
addict through “heroin and tin foil” plain speak. Prevail seems lost in certain instances. During his verse on “The Shining,” Prev 1’s joke lines feel jarring, “I’m classic Old Spice/ you are
Spice Girl scary.” Still, this palpable paranoia and train-of-thought lunacy lay nicely together as contraries within the album’s trademark Swollen sound.



Handling Dagger Mouth’s entire production, the group’s longtime tour DJ Rob The Viking, revisits the Vancouver chamber drums and chords that extract the best of both MCs. Along with the
almost-kitschy “Fresh Air” instrumental, Rob gains experimental wins with the drip-drop single “Mr. Impossible,” and the pudgy pendulum rhythm on “The Predator.” Rob takes the right kind of risks
on the lengthy, “White Python/Black Tarantula/Sound of the Drum.” The beat evolution and shifting thought patterns of each MC heighten the nuanced track as a standout. “Fire” hints at the circus
pace that kicked Black Magic into another gear, but that never feels possible during this release.



Label mate and fellow comeback architect Saigon features on the album finale, another version of Giddy’s “Bring Me Down.” Mad Child concludes, “Sharpen up my axe/ and I am back/ I’m here to sever
heads/ compulsive obsessive, I’m also aggressive/ my mouth is the message, my life is a lesson, my pulse is a blessing.”



Dagger Mouth is about pain. It’s an admission of guilt, a therapy session, and a shred of light on one of rap’s darkest group’s darkest moments. And it is, without a doubt, an explanation

If Black Magic was the apology for the stab at commercial success of Heavy, Daggermouth is the explanation to the outright embarrassment of Armed To The Teeth.



If Black Magic was the apology for the stab at commercial success of Heavy, Daggermouth is the explanation to the outright embarrassment of Armed To The Teeth.



Over the last dozen years, Swollen Members perfected a brand of abstract rap disturbia. Two classics, two flops, and one comeback later, the MCs from the darker side of Northwestern America, have
more explaining to do. 2009‘s move to Suburban Noize Records saw the end of S&M’s Battleaxe Records. What followed was an absolute howler of an album called Armed To The Teeth. If Black Magic
was the apology album for the shameless stab at commercial success of 2003‘s Heavy, Dagger Mouth is the explanation album to the outright embarrassment of Armed To The Teeth.



A hefty amount of Dagger Mouth’s burden falls on the shoulder’s of the Misguided Angel, Mad Child. The Rocksteady Crew affiliate candidly admits to a multi-million dollar opiate dependency in
each of the album’s 16 tracks. “Thought I wanted to be king so I wore a crown/ started from the bottom, built an empire and tore it down,” he confesses on the Transformer-themed “Fresh Air.”



Mad Child, is somber, regretful and, at times, completely unconvinced about his own recovery. “The Shining,” opens with, “I’m feeling like I wanna die,” before he goes on to qualify himself as an
addict through “heroin and tin foil” plain speak. Prevail seems lost in certain instances. During his verse on “The Shining,” Prev 1’s joke lines feel jarring, “I’m classic Old Spice/ you are
Spice Girl scary.” Still, this palpable paranoia and train-of-thought lunacy lay nicely together as contraries within the album’s trademark Swollen sound.



Handling Dagger Mouth’s entire production, the group’s longtime tour DJ Rob The Viking, revisits the Vancouver chamber drums and chords that extract the best of both MCs. Along with the
almost-kitschy “Fresh Air” instrumental, Rob gains experimental wins with the drip-drop single “Mr. Impossible,” and the pudgy pendulum rhythm on “The Predator.” Rob takes the right kind of risks
on the lengthy, “White Python/Black Tarantula/Sound of the Drum.” The beat evolution and shifting thought patterns of each MC heighten the nuanced track as a standout. “Fire” hints at the circus
pace that kicked Black Magic into another gear, but that never feels possible during this release.



Label mate and fellow comeback architect Saigon features on the album finale, another version of Giddy’s “Bring Me Down.” Mad Child concludes, “Sharpen up my axe/ and I am back/ I’m here to sever
heads/ compulsive obsessive, I’m also aggressive/ my mouth is the message, my life is a lesson, my pulse is a blessing.”



Dagger Mouth is about pain. It’s an admission of guilt, a therapy session, and a shred of light on one of rap’s darkest group’s darkest moments. And it is, without a doubt, an explanation

Par Ma mère était hipster pour http://poprevuexpress.blogspot.com



Avec G-Stone, Compost, le label munichois reste un des derniers survivants de la vague trip-hop/house de la fin des années 90 à proposer encore des productions souvent intéressantes à défaut
d’être passionnantes. C’est encore le cas avec Marsmobil, le projet du multi-instrumentiste et jazzman de formation, l'italien Roberto Di Gioia qui est passé à la pop à fin des années 90 et a
joué avec des groupes aussi variés que prestigieux (The Rolling Stones, DJ Hell, The Notwist, Peter Kruder…).

Dans une orchestration soignée, Marsmobil propose 16 titres élégants qui évoquent par moment les ambiances des albums de Air. Mais comme chez les versaillais, notamment sur les derniers albums,
on constate un peu les même défauts avec des compos pas toujours indispensables, et parfois trop éthérées, trop "allégées" pour nous tenir éveillé jusqu’au bout. Bref, de la jolie musique
d’ambiance lounge, qui fonctionne souvent mieux sur un titre, au milieu d’une compilation, que sur un album entier.

Funky solo work from Alan Evans of Soulive - a set of tunes that still really keeps the core funky sound of Soulive in place, but which seems to be going for more of a 70s feel overall! Evans
sings and plays a bit of keyboards in addition to his usual strong work on drums - and he's working in a core trio with bass and guitar, plus additional guest instrumentation on some tracks, in a
range that includes flute, alto, percussion, and Fender Rhodes. There's a stripped-down feel to the record that's totally great - and which is a nice departure from some of the overstated work of
Soulive in recent years - a mode that lets Evans get back to the grooves that inspired him, and lay them out perfectly







Tracklist :   

1. Do It Again

2. Break It Down

3. Let It Ride

4. Are You With Me

Le coeur de ceux qu'on aime ressemble parfois à un gouffre avide de clarté ...

Mais c'est un espace enflammé de solitudes, de désespérance et de noire culpabilité qui anime celui de Clélia Véga dans Undisclosed.

Un petit monde coincé tristement entre le ciel et la terre ou de lyrics en musique et de purs sentiments en mortelle habitude on y découvre le drame intérieur d'une histoire d'amour aux allures
passionnelles : une de celles où la souffrance devient telle qu'on ne peut trouver raisonnablement de saine délivrance que dans la fuite (Salvation mind), ou dans le suicide (Blast).



Mais on peut aussi prendre du plaisir parfois à se satisfaire des choses telles qu'elles nous apparaissent, simplement :



On se laissera séduire sans peine par la voix toute en tendresse et sensualité d'une chanteuse portée par un trip-hop pur style, ou l'originalité des compositions croisera souvent le son d'un
piano cristallin se perdant dans un infini silence.

Un très bel album une fois de plus pour Cyesm, ou chacun selon sa sensibilité pourra trouver ses perles (Dark mean et Lust pour ma part). Musicalement très justement introduit avec Harmed, et
terriblement achevé par Poem for Dummies ou Clélia Véga exprimera avec excellence ses talents d'écriture et d' interprétation dramatique. Car elle en signe tous les lyrics, excepté : On the shore
co-écrit avec Cyesm et Controlled disease écrit et interprété par Cyesm (Oh my god ).



Le tout glissé dans une jolie pochette cartonnée au design " handmade ", pour le souvenir de ce qu'il fût décidé d'être révélé à un certain moment entre deux êtres qui s'aimaient singulièrement.
(Et de ce qui ne le fût pas car c'est bien le principe du secret, non ?)

Burnt Friedman & The Nu Dub Players - Can't Cool

http://funkysouls.com/img/Burnt_Friedman_and_The_Nu_Dub_Players_-_Cant_Cool.jpg

http://www.nonplace.de

http://www.myspace.com/berndfriedman

Origine du Groupe : Germany

Style : Electro Dub

Sortie : 2003



By Colin Buttimer From http://www.bbc.co.uk



Clipped. Funked. "F*** Back". Can't Cool. Monosyllabic. Not quite sensical. Everything shorn, smoothed, streamlined into a form that narrowly resists apprehension. After so many years. People
stop. They f*** back. Instruments swim along in the slipstream. Inimitable Friedman. This is the sound of a sleek new car cutting you up and leaving you way behind in a trail of anger and
dust.



"This one's dedicated to the children of love... the children of God..." Abi's impassioned delivery on "Fly Your Kite" lies uncomfortably across synthetic, over-compressed beats. Dub rises to the
surface on "Paternoster": vocals echo and break apart, only to return reassembled into new shapes. Funk, breakbeat, dub and now a new shape, messy and unpredictable, never knowing whether the
beat will rocksteady out or break up in static...



"Gets Things Strait" lays vocals from Patrice Bart-Williams over and around the reprised melody of a Flanger track which ultimately feels like an entirely new creation. "Looks like the whole
world is falling apart, a small scratch to remind you of the next track." The revisit gets revisited later in a dub version which brings everything together into a rickety, wheezing
falling-apartness.



His Name Is Alive join Friedman on the eighth track "Someday My Blues Will Cover the Earth" which signals the end of the vocal element of the album. Four instrumentals bring up the rear leaving a
strange impression after the expressiveness of the singers - like when a band carries on playing after their vocalist has taken a bow and left the stage.



"Consider A Bigger Wallet" is an instrumental version of "Fly Your Kite".Minus the vocals it's clear how melodic the track (and by extension the whole album) is. There's a moment when the
breakbeat rhythm seamlessly eases into reggae before almost immediately returning to the plucked, strummed, echoing, horn-sectioned whole, and you realise how rich this sound is, how detailed and
how effortless sounding. What seemed initially to be straightahead and smooth is revealed to be complex, detailed and a real work of art(ifice?)



Burnt Friedman appears to have put aside his penchant for shapeshifting games and jazz, but perhaps it's still lurking there deep down under the mellifluous tones and guest vocals. Can't Cool is
a heavier, more richly melodic sound than his previous music.



After a long silence a voice intones, "44 degrees Centigrade in the shade". Is that Burnt Friedman lurking there in the shadows? Gone. He's a moving target tracing an unpredictable musical
odyssey, impossible to nail down in one place. What will be his next missive from the other side of irony?
