Wax Tailor s'offre son premier live ! Jean-Christophe Le Saoût, a.k.a Wax Tailor, a voulu fixer cette année 2010, véritablement l'année de la consécration, pour en garder un joli souvenir. Petit
retour en arrière... In The Mood For Life, le troisième album du Français, sort en Septembre 2009 et reçoit un tel accueil que la tournée In The Mood For Live est soldout un peu partout. Wax
Tailor se paye le luxe de quatre dates parisiennes avec deux Bataclan archi combles et deux Olympia complets. Tous les gros festivals l'invitent également : Glastonbury (carrément), Sziget, Dour,
Solidays, Francofolies, Montreal Jazz, Jazz Montreux, Musilac, Arènes de Nimes... Ce Live 2010 à l’Olympia, un double CD enregistré le 26 Mars dernier lors du second Olympia, comprend aussi un
DVD (ou Blu-Ray) du concert (presque deux heures de live) ainsi qu'un film documentaire d'une heure qui permet de pénétrer dans les coulisses de la tournée. Les images sont signées Pierre Jampy.
Pour l'occasion, Wax Tailor s'était entouré de nombreux invités, entre autres, Charlotte Savary, Mattic, Voice, ASM, Ali Harter, tous des guests présents sur ses trois albums studio.



Fan d'électro, conteur urbain, soulman, musicien classique ou rappeur ? Wax Tailor est tout cela à la fois. Refusant d'être rangé dans une petite boîte étiquetée et renonçant à choisir parmi les
différents styles qu'il affectionne, il a préféré mixer toutes ces musiques pour s'inventer sa propre voie et créer un univers musical qui n'appartient qu'à lui. Au final, Wax Tailor délivre un
son résolument moderne qui porte indéniablement sa signature. Qui d'autre que lui fait rimer hip-hop et cordes classiques ? Qui a jamais pensé à associer le flow urbain d'un rappeur et la douceur
d'un violoncelle ? Wax Tailor n'a pas hésité une seule seconde et ces extrêmes, aussi éloignés que le pôle nord peut l'être du pôle sud, se marient si bien que l'on se demande pourquoi cela a pu
nous paraître incongru. On pense, entre autres, aux "Until Heaven Stops The Rain" et "B-Boy On Wax" rappés par Mr Mattic et nappés de jolies cordes, à "The Games You Play", scandé par Voice et
parfaitement mis en valeur par le violoncelle de Marina Quaisse, aux scratches électro posés sur la voix soul de Charlie Winston ou à l'impeccable "This Train" qui voit Voice et Ali Harter mêler
leurs chants soul et hip-hop tandis que scratches et violoncelle s'enlacent avec naturel.



Mais Wax Tailor sait aussi ancrer certains morceaux dans un style bien défini sans chercher à brasser les influences. Les amateurs de hip-hop ne se sentiront pas trahis par des titres comme
"Where My Heart's At", "House Of Wax", interprétés par Mr Mattic, "Say Yes", où le phrasé d'A.S.M fait des merveilles, ou encore "Guaranteed" . Quant aux amoureux du trip-hop, ils ne pourront
qu'applaudir aux moments de grâce que sont "Dragon Chasers", "To Dry Up", "Dry Your Eyes", "Go Without Me", "Seize the Day" ou "Our Dance" sublimés par Charlotte Savary. Franchement Wax Tailor
n'a rien à envier au meilleur de Portishead !

Par Boris Black pour http://www.amazon.fr



Après l'insurpassable chef-d'oeuvre Handsworth Revolution (1978), l'année suivante l'offrande de Steel Pulse s'intitulait Tribute To The Martyrs, en hommage aux grands hommes noirs bafoués comme
Steve Biko. Dans la même veine que le précédent, ce disque très soigné confirmait Steel Pulse au titre de meilleur groupe de reggae anglo-jamaïcain des années 70. Il reste l'un des grands sommets
de ce groupe légendaire, l'une des meilleures formations que le reggae ait jamais connu. Harmonies subtiles, émotion, la crème du 'roots rock reggae' d'Island.

Gotan Project - La Revancha Del Tango

http://www.gotanproject.com

Origine du Groupe : France

Style : Electro Tango , Downtempo , Lounge

Sortie : 2001

Par José Ruiz Pour http://www.amazon.fr



Si on se laisse prendre au jeu des percussions, on est assez éloigné du titre du projet. Mais si on avance un peu plus, pour laisser entrer le bandonéon, on est cuit : le tango a pris une drôle
de revanche. Avec des plages comme "La Del Ruso" ou l'adaptation de "Chunga's Revenge (signé Frank Zappa), la musique de Gotan Project prend des ailes. Des allures d'oiseau merveilleux, planant
par-dessus les frontières de genre, avec un cœur qui bat au rythme de la milonga argentine. Piano, violon, guitare viennent rejoindre le festin, une célébration joyeuse de la rencontre de
l'électronique et du tango. Au cœur du dispositif, un génie multi-instrumentiste nommé Philippe Cohen Solal, un drôle de clavier dubbeur insatiable, et bassiste puissant, et le délicat guitariste
Eduardo Makaroff. Le trio, en invitant quelques figures du tango argentin (Nini Flores au bandonéon, la chanteuse Cristina Vilallonga...) vont produire cette aventure exaltante, où la musique va
aussi servir d'écho à quelques cris de guerre et de révolte. "Queremos Paz" ou "El Capitalismo Foráneo", avec leur groove obsédant de tango du 3e millénaire, prennent soudain une douloureuse
résonance, dans l'Argentine ruinée de l'année 2001.



Description du produit



L'oeuvre - très précieuse - de musiciens inspirés, de surcroît visiblement érudits : avec ce disque remarquable, ce collectif français, appuyé de quelques spécialistes sud-américains (la pulpeuse
Cristina Vilallonga en tête) célèbrent avec volupté les noces du tango argentin et de l'électronique. Et le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est que tout au long de cet album chaleureux (et très
étonnant : nos amis reprennent même un morceau culte de Frank Zappa, Chunga's Revenge !) le mariage est une totale réussite. Une preuve supplémentaire (comme si besoin était !) que l'electro peut
s'accommoder à toutes les sauces, même piquantes !

 

Tracklist :

01  -  "Queremos Paz" – 5:15

02  -  "Época" – 4:28

03  -  "Chunga's Revenge" – 5:02 (cover of the title track from Frank Zappa's 1970 album Chunga's Revenge)

04  -  "Tríptico" – 8:26

05  -  "Santa María (del Buen Ayre)" – 5:57 (featured in the Hollywood film Shall We Dance? featuring Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez.)

06  -  "Una Música Brutal" – 4:11

07  -  "El Capitalismo Foráneo" – 6:13

08  -  "Last Tango in Paris" – 5:50 (cover of Gato Barbieri's theme for the 1972 film Last Tango in Paris)

09  -  "La del Ruso" – 6:22

10  -  "Vuelvo al Sur" – 6:59

Rob Sawyer - Independant Ep

http://www.robsawyer.com.au

Origine du Groupe : Australia

Style : Folk , Rock , Acoustic

Sortie : 2004

From Official Myspace :



Armed with a trusty six string, a strapping vocal and an audacious allure, Rob Sawyer’s music unites acoustic genius, punk filth, and deep-seeded reggae. The songs are at once eclectic, haphazard
and captivating, drawing on inspiration of adventure so far. They unwind tales from the road, the bike, water, sunshine, possibility, love, loss, and discovery. Moments of aggression excite
dancing devotees and radicals yet elements of tranquility balance Sawyer’s ability to conquer a room to pin-drop silence, to enthrall and stun an audience.



Melbourne adventure muso Rob Sawyer has seen a relentless endeavor so far. Sawyer arrived on the scene at the age of 17 as a young, mop haired, barefoot, acoustic guitar-shredding dude. Few
things have changed. At 25, he’s had a haircut, sometimes wears shoes and tends to shred on the guitar even more. Sawyer’s voice evolved strong and compelling to deliver a unique musical one-two
combination.



Sawyer’s tour schedule would scare the bejesus out of the most hardened musical zealot. He picked up the guitar at the age of 14, and just three short years later he won the Frankston
International Young Guitarist of the year award after, having just turned 17, the first of a slew of awards and accolades as he was often crowned Young Performer of the Year. A word of mouth
groundswell grew after larger festival performances such as The Falls Festival, Apollo Bay Music Festival, Pyramid Rock Festival, and Port Fairy Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival,
Adelaide International Guitar Fest, Blues at Bridgetown, and Folk Rhythm and Life. Sawyer has toured extensively in Australia headlining, and built a strong fan bass further afield, touring solo
and with his band in France, Holland, Belgium, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and Portugal. He’s supported many a high profile act including Willie Nelson, Al Green, John Fogerty (Creedence
Clearwater Revival), Chris Isaak, Chickefoot (Van Halen, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Joe Satriani), Donavon Frankenreiter, Jeff Martin, The Cranberries, Jeff Lang, Ash Grunwald, and Lior to name a
few.



Early 2008 Rob fulfilled an ambition. He rode Australia, East coast to West - a musical tour by bicycle - Known as the “On Ya Bike Tour.” Sawyer loaded up the back of the bike with guitar, tent,
and tasty provisions to ride the 4600kms from Melbourne VIC, across the to Perth WA. Performing shows in towns and cities along the way and crossing the Nullarbor Plane during a heat wave to
experience intensity and fatigue. This journey showed much inspiration, and education, and won’t be forgotten.



A home studio was built, and over a few months of sporadic sessions, Rob’s first full-length album came in 2006 – sTUFF. Released through independently owned label Treehouse Records, the album
introduced the unforseen explosive elements Sawyer’s band, and at the same time captures the radiance of Rob’s solo acoustic works of art.



Early 2010 Rob was joined by long time mate Simo McMahon (Bass Guitar) and brand spanker, Anthony Murray (Drums) to record his second album, “Lose Discover.” Due to be released early 2011 the
album is a raw and gritty heavy progression, with a clear record of Sawyers tasty acoustic novelty. Sawyer offers a narration of a somewhat lost highway he has travelled in the past years.
Personal desires for the absent, questions of identity and love, motivation and bad habit, loss and discovery.



Sawyer and the lads just returned home to Australia from a 4-month European Band onslaught. Living out of their ratty tour van, the boys managed to cover16, 000kms of the continent, and
experienced a number of radical circumstances their “trusty” tour van coughed up along the way. First it was busted into and robbed at the beginning of the run, then fell on Rob’s foot during a
home mechanics reparation session, and at the tail end of the tour they suffered carbon monoxide poisoning, before dumping their 4-wheeled friend in south west France because the engine decided
to retire.

On a positive note, this year the Rob Sawyer Band were a part of the French Hossegor Quiksilver Surf Pro, the Lacanau Pro, and Belgium’s Dranouter Folk Festival. Rob opened for Willie Nelson, and
Al Green at Paris’s prestigious Olympia Stadium, and also for Chris Issak in Brussels, and The Cranberries in Nice. The Sawyer Band shape “talk of the town” wherever they roll. With crazy new
drummer Anthony Murray now on board, throwing out some off the cuff percussive brilliance, and long-time bass player Simo McMahon laying down the law, the band is now at home. Rob and his mates
flaunt an unforgettable display of musicianship, friendship, and good-times, ensuring all who witness leave with a grin from ear to ear.

All this sunny weather and an endless torrent of work has left updates a little scarce over the past few weeks, but I’m sure you can forgive me because you’re probably out there enjoying life,
drinking mojitos and carelessly frolicking in meadows. Even if you’re not…well, maybe you should read a good book and chill out instead of crying and banging your head against the keyboard like a
fleshy, irate hammer. My tardiness and your emotional problems aside, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto have once again teamed up to release their fifth and possibly final collaborative album, a
fact that both excites and saddens me in equal parts. Due for release on Alva Noto’s own Raster-Noton label on May 9, Summvs is the last in a series which began with 2002′s Vrioon and will no
doubt be as hauntingly beautiful as its predecessors. According to guilty76, the title is a combination of the Latin words ‘summa’ and ‘versus’ which serves to emphasise “the collaborative idea
behind the joint venture of these two exceptional artists, yet stressing their individual potentials.” So, yeah, it sounds interesting.



In terms of the actual music, the press release describes “passages of sparse yet emotionally charged and passionate piano solos embedded in sine waves or reworked to establish new aesthetics of
piano sound.” There is also mention of the use of one of only fifteen pianos in the world using a 16th tone interval tuning and the inclusion of two cover versions of ‘By This River’, a track
originally written by Roedelius, Moebius and Brian Eno in 1977. All the technical music stuff tends to go right over my head, hence me quoting the press release instead of writing my own
characteristically verbose descriptions, but I can already see myself lying face down in the dark listening to this record. Insen blew my tiny mind and hopefully this will help me piece together
the shattered fragments that remain.

All this sunny weather and an endless torrent of work has left updates a little scarce over the past few weeks, but I’m sure you can forgive me because you’re probably out there enjoying life,
drinking mojitos and carelessly frolicking in meadows. Even if you’re not…well, maybe you should read a good book and chill out instead of crying and banging your head against the keyboard like a
fleshy, irate hammer. My tardiness and your emotional problems aside, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto have once again teamed up to release their fifth and possibly final collaborative album, a
fact that both excites and saddens me in equal parts. Due for release on Alva Noto’s own Raster-Noton label on May 9, Summvs is the last in a series which began with 2002′s Vrioon and will no
doubt be as hauntingly beautiful as its predecessors. According to guilty76, the title is a combination of the Latin words ‘summa’ and ‘versus’ which serves to emphasise “the collaborative idea
behind the joint venture of these two exceptional artists, yet stressing their individual potentials.” So, yeah, it sounds interesting.



In terms of the actual music, the press release describes “passages of sparse yet emotionally charged and passionate piano solos embedded in sine waves or reworked to establish new aesthetics of
piano sound.” There is also mention of the use of one of only fifteen pianos in the world using a 16th tone interval tuning and the inclusion of two cover versions of ‘By This River’, a track
originally written by Roedelius, Moebius and Brian Eno in 1977. All the technical music stuff tends to go right over my head, hence me quoting the press release instead of writing my own
characteristically verbose descriptions, but I can already see myself lying face down in the dark listening to this record. Insen blew my tiny mind and hopefully this will help me piece together
the shattered fragments that remain.
