Inspired by one of Blueknowz recent "listens"
PIcked at random: a double vinyl collection of killer early '70s heavy Latin jazz/soul grooves from Harlem and the Bronx. Great stuff!
Saw the documentary on iPlayer last night which inspired me to play what is probably one of my favourite pieces, if not THE favourite piece of music.
Streaming 24bit 48kHz FLAC
Chilled techno beats from Berlin.....
I've seen this cover somewhere recently, so just looked it up and found a full stream on SoundCloud. Probably more suited to late-night listening, but I like.
Will investigate the NPM / MVO, thanks.
Photographically that album cover is slightly similar to this one of Ulrich Snauss - Underrated Silence. It is all also chilled out "Eno-esque ambience and mood music both engaging and engrossing".

Another double LP on Soul Jazz, and another fat slice of heavy New York Latin from the 1970s (Fania All Stars, Milton Cardona, Libre etc) on Soul Jazz. LOve the covers on these things as well...

This cover & music also has a similar feel....

Good morning to you K..
Agree I think DubSOTM may be the better of the two!
One of my favourite albums from last year - not the normal Mogwai sound but you know it is them - very good soundtrack to an excellent TV series.
Hi Steve, Is this any good?
I loved Ulrich's Far Aways Trains Passing By and A Strangely Isolated Place and some of his earlier twelves and remixes, but not heard anything after the disappointing Goodbye.
I see he has another album out later this month too, and was just wondering...
I really enjoy this newish one....
why,, breezy tunefull clever for a sunday
On vinyl:-
R.E.M. - Lifes Rich Pageant
Good choice Chief - on my listening pile - I have been following these guys for years - saw them at the Basement jazz club in Sydney once - two hours of creative improvisation. Such a rich back catalogue of albums to make your way through.......
Borrowed from Amazon as it explains it well -
"'Narrative from the Subtropics' is an esoteric, yet remarkably attractive set of compositions from Norwegian producer, composer and electronic musician Jan Bang. Featuring Nils Petter Molvaer, Arve Henriksen, Tigran Hamasyan, Sidsel Endresen and Lars Danielsson.
Recorded over a period of three years, this set of thirteen miniatures includes a stellar roster of musicians. The delicate trumpet of Nils Petter Molvaer and synthesizer programming of Erik Honoré on "Funeral Voyage", the naked trumpet and vocals on "Sinking Ship" courtesy of Arve Henriksen, and contributions from the two equally distinctive guitarists Eivind Aarset and Stian Westerhus. The genuinely unique singer Sidsel Endresen appears on the Undark/Russell Mills collaboration "Tide" where Erik Honoré contributes with a field recording along with the sparse double bass of Swede, Lars Danielsson.
The Armenian pianist Tigran Hamasyan contacted Bang to record on his solo album and, in return, Hamasyan was invited back by Bang to contribute on "Singers Childhood", a traditional Estonian song. This led to an ongoing relationship with musicians in Tallinn, including guitarist and member of Weekend Guitar Trio, Robert Jurjendal who also introduced Bang to the traditional singer and kannel player, Tuule Kann. Both are present, on "Singers Childhood", which was recorded in both Tallinn and Paris, with editing and final mixing performed at Ban's Punkt studio in Kristiansand."
Tracks from the new Seth Lakeman.

R.E.M. - Murmur

Hi CC yes it is good.
I also have Far Aways Trains Passing By and A Strangely Isolated Place so I am pretty sure that you will enjoy this one. Although I had never heard of Mark Peters, the addition of his delicate guitar touches here work seamlessly with Ulrich's music. Thumbs up from me particularly if you like his earlier work mentioned above.
Thanks for the heads up about his new album due out soon.
Steve
This was a real treat - recommended.
