When the Chris Robinson Brotherhood headed into the studio to begin recording their
new album, 'Any Way You Love, We Know How You Feel', no one knew just what to
expect. These would be the band's first recordings with new drummer Tony Leone
(Ollabelle, Levon Helm), their first since the departure of founding bassist Mark
"Muddy" Dutton, and their first time producing themselves. But as anybody who's been
following the CRB can attest, this is a band that thrives on the unexpected.
If you need proof, just go back to 2012, when they first emerged on the national stage by
releasing not one, but two acclaimed full-length albums within a few months of each
other. Critics hailed their sprawling debut, 'Big Moon Ritual', as a revelation, with Uncut
calling it a "tenderly-executed piece of work…[that's] both earthy and transcendent",
while The Independent raved that Robinson had "finally found the ideal vehicle to indulge
his taste for 'Cosmic California Music.'" The reviews were similarly ecstatic for its
immediate follow-up, 'The Magic Door', which was praised by Relix as "classic rock in the
finest sense." The band's relentless tour schedule brought their shimmering acidAmericana around the world for a staggering 118-date tour, firmly establishing the CRB as
the new standard-bearers of the psychedelic roots torch.
In 2014, they returned to the studio for 'Phosphorescent Harvest,' a masterful collection
that showcased the blossoming songwriting partnership between Robinson and guitarist
Neal Casal. Rolling Stone raved that the album was "electrifying…boast[ing] a vintage rock
vibe that's at once quirky, trippy, soulful and downright magnetic," and Guitar World
called it" a treasure trove of soul that advances the band's bluesy, kaleidoscopic sound."
On each of those albums, the songs and arrangements had been locked in prior to the
sessions, but heading back into the studio for 'Any Way You Love,' Robinson purposely left
as much open-ended as possible, embracing the line-up changes and leaning into the
virtuosic improvisational chemistry that's always made their live shows such enthralling
spectacles.
Not coincidentally, Robinson also cites it as perhaps the best recording experience of his
life. The band relocated to northern California for the sessions, recording on the side of a
mountain overlooking the foggy Pacific Ocean and channelling the natural majesty and
melancholic weather of their surroundings into the album's eight, epic, immersive tracks.

D Generation needs no introduction. Often credited for keeping NYC punk rock alive in
the '90s, these five friends with unmistakable chemistry are widely regarded as one of
the most important and unsung rock 'n' roll bands of the past twenty-five years.
This is their first album in 17 years and is by the original line up.
Before they'd ever been signed, D Gen played sell-out concerts at such seminal New York
City venues as CBGB, the Continental and Irving Plaza. Gear was trashed, bottles broken,
authorities called, venues shut down, record execs turned away... but the lucky few
hundred who were at these gigs were instant converts. A "scene" was born.
Now the classic D Gen lineup - Jesse Malin, Danny Sage, Howie Pyro, Michael Wildwood
and Richard Bacchus - is putting the finishing touches on a brand new album. Recorded
under Avenue A and on Rivington Street, D Generation remains connected to their NYC
home and wouldn't want it any other way. Produced by Danny Sage, the record will be out
this summer on the band's own Bastard Basement Records.

"New York punk that takes the best of the '70s Street-rat sneers, tight black pants and
artfully messed-up hairdos: D Generation are the stuff that popped-up 70s punk was made
of…. tailor-made for grimy pinball arcades and Brand X beer-drinking binges." – Rolling
Stone

Andy has had chart success with Amen Corner in the 60s and solo success in the 70s,
along the way he has played with 100s of top musicians.
Cardiff born Andy Fairweather Low first established himself as frontman with chart
topping 60s group Amen Corner and soon reached teen idol status. Amen Corner scored 6
memorable hits between 1967 and 1969, with “(If Paradise Is) Half As Nice” reaching no.1
in January ’69.
In 1974 Andy began a solo career and scored a top 10 hit with “Reggae Tune” in
September of that year, and the following year reaching Number 6 with the memorable
“Wide Eyed And Legless” highlighting his characteristic voice. 1975s ‘La Booga Rooga’ was
the album that featured “Wide Eyed And Legless” and thus far remains Andy’s biggest
selling album. Andy has always surrounded himself with a stellar cast of musicians and
just some of the luminaries contributing to his 1970s solo albums were Gerry Rafferty,
Georgie Fame, Bernie Leadon, B.J Cole and Kenney Jones. Andy’s last solo album around
this time was 1980s self produced ‘Mega-Shebang’ featuring his trademark mixture of
styles.
Throughout his career Andy’s services as a vocalist and guitarist have been sought by a
who’s who of bands and musicians either on a touring basis or as a recording artist.
Amongst this highly impressive list are: Jimi Hendrix, Roger Waters, Eric Clapton, David
Crosby, Van Morrison, Jeff Beck, Phil Collins, Sheryl Crow, Richard And Linda Thompson,
Chris Rea, The Band, Bob Dylan, Jimmy Page and hundreds more.

Emerging from their deep roots placed within 90’s subversive sects, Prosternatur are a
mysterious Secret Order from different countries across Europe. The enigmatic group of four
members wish to remain anonymous. Preferring to say nothing, only the music speaks. This
first ever offering entitled “Abyssus abyssum invocat”, is a full-length stunning work of
oppressively dense & brooding Ritualistic Occult Black Metal perfection.
Dissonant and suffocating atmospheres swirl and twist through a punishing and unsettling
ambiance. A grueling din from Miasmic Blackened realms that tears at the desolate reaches of
your subconscious. All songs deal with Spiritism, old occult Mysteries and old Rituals. Maybe you
can feel the smell of death on the songs.

“This isn’t simply a Ska revival, but a delicately thought out concept with soaring
arrangements that gives a nod to the traditional at the same time as remaining decidedly
modern and giving the style an injection of life it doesn’t necessarily “need”, but is
certainly most welcome. ...this is the album of the year...Bless you Nicky Bomba for
conceiving this band. 10 out of 10" - Jon Jobbagy, Album Review, The AU Review, 7
March 2013 "
...the MSO shows just how much fun can be had with a cracking tune, great players and a
keen sense of humour" Polly Coufos - The Australian Newspaper
“It's a crime that the Melbourne Ska Orchestra are not more popular. Bomba swayed and
jived and danced, tugging at each performer with invisible strings and snapping his fingers
to make things happen. He was a force to witness and his band was fantastic. The horns
were explosive and the rhythm section was the vibrant, beating heart. Latin rhythms,
Jamaican rhythms, '50s American malt shop rhythms – you name it, they nailed it.” - Matt
MacMaster , Drum Media Sydney

Despite only forming in August 2013, Alex Noble (vocals, guitars & keyboards) and
Charlie Burley (production, samples, guitars & keyboards) have been hotly tipped by
tastemakers across the country including; Line of Best Fit, DIY Magazine, Clash, Gigwise,
Huw Stephens and BBC Introducing's Dean Jackson.
After the release of their acclaimed single Modern Psyche late last year, the Nottingham
lads immediately hit the studio with award winning, Aussie producer, Catherine Marks
(Wolf Alice, Foals) to start work on their new EP Silent Fever. Drawing on the duo's
colourful spectrum of musical influences, the title track is musical hydration, as it
combines light melodies with fulfilling bass tones and experimental synths.
Quotes:
The band create a powerful slab of noise - Line Of Best Fit
Poised to be the name on every tastemaker's lips throughout 2016 - Clash
There's no two ways about it, if April Tower's aren't massive in 2016, then there is no
justice in the world - Gigwise
Big tunes that will no doubt be filling bigger stages imminently - Drowned in Sound
They have got the energy for it all. Most likely to join Chvrches in the synth revolution DIY

The trio Building Instrument exist in a sort of fantasy-filled no man's land between
electronica, organic pop and something more mystical and fantastic. On their second
album, 'Kem Som Kan A Leve', their mode of expression is deeper and more
dreamlike, the soundscape is broader and more substantial, and their music is still
extremely addictive and strangely catchy.
The members of the trio Building Instrument are Mari Kvien Brunvoll (vocals, sampler,
zither, percussion, kazoo), Øyvind Hegg-Lunde (drums, percussion) and Asmund
Weltzien (synth, electronics). Drummer Øyvind Hegg-Lunde plays in two bands that
have released records, Strings & Timpani and Electric Eye, and has toured with José
Gonzalez and his band Junip. Keyboard player Asmund Weltzien makes a vital
contribution to the new soundscape on this album with his expanded palette of sounds.
The album 'Kem Som Kan A Leve' was made in the course of a two-year period, and
some of the material was composed for a concert inspired by the art of Kurt Schwitters,
which was commissioned and performed at the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter at
Høvikodden, outside of Oslo, in September 2015. The concert marked the opening of a
new, permanent Kurt Schwitters exhibition at the art centre, and was arranged as part
of the Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival.
The album was recorded in the legendary "Studio", a hall in the Henie Onstad
Kunstsenter, the same week as the Schwitters concert was given its world premiere.
The album was mixed by producer Jørgen Træen together with Anders Bjelland.

In between, the duo took time out to self-record and produce Summat's Brewin', an album that
celebrates the 'spirit of the small' whilst exploring the nation's fascination with alcohol,
released on their own micro label Hum Records. Walking away from the tried and tested route
of a two yearly major record release to self-release a concept album may have seemed a
foolish move for a band that were courting so much attention from the
national press and BBC Radio 2 and 6. However, for Belinda and Heidi, it was an invaluable
opportunity to move into the shadows for a time and explore an alternative path of repose,
reflection, listening and sharing, culminating in Shadows.
Shadows conveys the vast expanse of human emotion, from tenderness to sensual melancholy,
boundless joy and hope to anger and grief, from dogged determination and grit to the
disturbing and deeply unsettling. Under careful consideration are those who live their lives in
the dark, whilst others are gently lifted out of the dusk, from Belinda and Heidi's own, deeply
personal shadows, to the crimes committed behind closed doors.
At the core of the album is the Steinway grand piano, recorded at MOMA; the Museum of
Modern Art, Machynlleth, interwoven with Belinda and Heidi's instinctual, close harmonies,
which have been compared with the most celebrated harmony duos from early Simon &
Garfunkel to the iconic Kate and Anna McGarrigle. They were recently praised by BBC 6
Music's Tom Robinson; 'They sing together in the way that families do.
Accompanying the duo on Shadows is a selection of highly expressive, sensitive musicians;
Pete Flood (Bellowhead) contributes drums, percussion and sampled bicycle sounds, Michele
Stodart (Magic Numbers) provides warm, lyrical electric guitar, bass and ebow, while Andy
Seward (Kate Rusby Band) offers beautifully fluid double bass lines, Jude Abbott
(Chumbawamba) adds sprinkles of trumpet and flugelhorn alongside the deceptively simple,
stirring viola playing of BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winner Rowan Rheingans (Lady Maisery).
Shadows is mixed by Neil Ferguson (Leveret, Coope Boyes & Simpson) and mastered by Denis
Blackham at Skye Mastering.

Tour Dates 2016:
Two albums in, the evidence is clear he's an extraordinary songsmith, while his 'stunning'
guitar playing (Maverick Magazine) has led to an endorsement from Fylde guitars.
Previous releases, 'This Is The Place' (2010) and 'With Fire in Mind' (2013), have cemented
his reputation.
It is his profound lyrics, melded with a unique melodic sensibility, which shows the writer
maturing into a poetic commentator and keen observer of everyday life's patterns and
tapestries in his songs akin to Damien Rice and David Gray. Dan's words have been
described as "deeply personal and introspective but engrossing and charismatic"
(Folkwords) and they reflect his peripatetic restlessness.

"Engrossing and charismatic" - Folkwords
Dan Wilde has been performing his own brand of richly observant folk both in the UK and

FELLSIDE
FOLK
Many people are familiar with the movement of songs and tunes from Britain
to North America, but this project presents American dance tunes that came to Britain as
well as some tunes from England and Scotland that in their rhythmic quality seem to
pre-figure ragtime music.
*Digital download distributed by Proper*
The unifying theme of this CD is syncopation, the significant characteristic of Ragtime. Ragtime
came to public notice in the 1890s in America and, within months, Europe, too, fell under its spell.
There were none of today's mass media methods of communicating music yet it spread like
wildfire. As shown by Vic Gammon and his friends with the tunes in this collection, syncopation
had existed in traditional tunes since at least the eighteenth century which begs the question
were Scots playing ragtime years before Scott Joplin had his first piece published?
Dr Vic Gammon recently retired from being Senior Lecturer in Folk and Traditional Music, but
continues to be a guest member of staff at the International Centre for Music Studies at the
Newcastle University. He is also a singer, plays concertina, melodeon, tenor banjo and mandolin
and has recorded extensively. His 'friends' include Sandra Kerr ("Bagpuss'), noted fiddle player
Stewart Hardy, Desi Wilkinson from the Irish band 'Cran' and BBC Folk Award nominee, Dan
Walsh.

The legendary American Folk singer's career had been seriously knocked off course by the
McCarthy witch-hunts into Unamerican Activities in the USA affecting artists believed to be
communists. At one stage Seeger was facing a ten year prison sentence, but he managed to
visit the UK in 1958.
The concert was recorded and issued by the Folklore label which emanated out of the Dobell's
record shop on Charing Cross road in West London. In 1964 he was back again and at one concert,
at Manchester's Free Trade Hall, he was recorded again.
*Digital download distributed by Proper*
Both concerts on this set are typical Seeger material of that time. He talks about his friends
Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie and champions new songwriters like Tom Paxton and Malvina
Reynolds. The concerts also give a wonderful insight to how Seeger worked an audience and had
them eating out of his hand. His ability to engage the audience is an object lesson for young
performers. The Folklore LPs had limited circulation and the Manchester concert has never been
heard before. The booklet comes with an informative essay about Pete Seeger by Joe Stead.

Following in the footsteps of the CD of 'Andando el Tiempo' - which was released to
celebrate Carla Bley's 80th birthday in May 2016 - comes a 180g audiophile vinyl version
of the album, with a free download too.
It features music of wide emotional compass by the pianist, and underlines her originality
and resourcefulness as a jazz composer. "Saints Alive!" sets up animated conversations
between the participants with striking statements from Steve Swallow's bass guitar and
Andy Sheppard's soprano sax.
The stately "Naked Bridges/Diving Brides" draws inspiration from Mendelssohn and the
poetry of Paul Haines. And the powerful three-part title composition, which addresses the
trials and tribulations of recovery from addiction, moves through sorrow to hopefulness
and joy. This trio has been an ideal vehicle for Carla's writing for over two decades and
also provides one of the best contexts for her unique piano playing.
"Carla Bley is not just one of jazz history's most iconoclastic figures; she is also capable of
turning the most moribund of topics into a cause for celebration… This three-part work is a
life-affirming triumph." – The Times (four stars)
"One of the greatest composers of the past half century and one of the few women of her
stature in jazz." – Evening Standard (four stars)
"A more personal, private and succinct album than its predecessor, Trios, it's just as

Vossajazz Festival. All About Jazz reviewed the premiere performance: “Rubicon proved to
be a very dynamic work. Eilertsen ensured that each of the instrumentalists took their
share of the spotlight, brought together combinations of players that emphasized tonal
variation, and created ensemble sections bursting with life.”
After fine-tuning the material on tour, Mats brought his septet to Oslo’s Rainbow Studio,
where Manfred Eicher produced this definitive version of Rubicon in May 2015.

Langeland, singer-harpist and verse-maker of Finnskogen in Eastern Norway, here looks at
of regional traces and fragments of ideas about axis mundi, the world tree.
“I have transformed these fragments and some parallel stories into songs that are
encircled by instrumental passages and improvisations by the musicians. Mircea Eliade
comments on axis mundi that, ‘every Microcosm, every inhabited region, has a Centre;
that is to say, a place that is sacred above all.’”
The Magical Forest was recorded at Oslo’s Rainbow Studio in February 2015, and
produced by Manfred Eicher.

Records hits you right between the eyes with its mix of seductive sing-a-long melodies,
classy arrangements and tastefully succinct improvisation” – Jazzwise (July Issue)

palette at the earliest stages of the writing process, using melodies and counter melodies
to create an intricate narrative.

FAR OUT RECORDINGS
£10.99
JAZZ
Natural is the latest collaboration between musical travellers and kindred spirits Nicola Conte
and Stefania Dipierro, the culmination of a relationship rooted in a shared belief in the
spiritually healing powers of music. And it’s now avaialble on vinyl.
The Italian duo is set to take 2016 by storm with a sensual, sumptuous and highly accomplished
record, firmly anchored in the traditions of Brazilian bossa nova, samba and jazz.
Stefania and Nicola first came together as members of the seminal 90s musical collective Fez,
with Nicola leading the group. This period, one full of inspiration and discovery, laid the seeds for
Natural. Though Stefania lent her enviable vocal talents to many bands over the years and Nicola
went on to an illustrious production career, outside of a handful of tracks from Nicola's album Jet
Sounds, it was not until now that the stars aligned again, allowing these two mercurial talents to
merge their musical sensibilities once again to access the deep spirituality that is at the core of
their approach to sound. Stefania's ongoing musical journey has ensured that her connection to,
and understanding of jazz runs deep, as she resoundingly demonstrates throughout Natural. With
Nicola once again in the production seat, the album serves as the defining showcase for her
inimitable vocal talents.
Alongside original compositions from Nicola and others, Natural also tantalisingly promises some
inspired re-interpretations of classic Brazilian and jazz pieces: Trio Tenura's exemplary bossa
groove A Gira and Steve Kuhn's beautiful The Meaning of Love are among the tracks respectfully
imbued with an updated resonance. The scintillating blend of jazz and bossa alongside a
contemporary sensibility makes for a debut collaboration. A timeless example of the special
places Brazilian music can go with a beautiful voice and a smooth groove, marking out Dipierro as
a natural talent of the highest order.
Tracks: A Gira / A Gira / Maracatu Atomico / Maracatu Atomico / Natural / Natural / Joia / Joia / I
Feel The Sun On Me / I Feel The Sun On Me / Softly As In A Morning Sunrise / The Meaning Of

From hard swing to no-nonsense grooves, contemplative melodies to intricate musical

and cements Kristian Borring's reputation for having a lyrical and unique voice as well as an
extraordinary command of his instrument.

Kristian has become well known for his rhythmically punchy yet clean and soothing tone.
However, on this album he explores his interest for breaking up the guitar's pure sound, revealing
a teenage passion for rock and fusion, which becomes apparent in the compositions themselves.
“Islington Twilight”, “Everyman” and “When He Goes Out To Play” all have a dark rocky edginess,
though there is still the Nordic beauty of Kristian's roots in his writing and playing. The title track
is an earthy, almost folk-inspired waltz that develops with both instinct and logic intertwined
while Nosda floats on an elegant groove with a spacious dreamy melody.
Kristian's recent collaboration with pianist Bruno Heinen on their interpretative project Postcards
To Bill Evans turned many heads in 2015 and acknowledged his great love and inspiration for the
late guitarist Jim Hall. Fable is a nod to this through its groovy swing and understated melody and
Cool It is based on Airegin, the famous composition of Sonny Rollins the sax legend with whom
Hall so famously worked with in the sixties.
Silent Storm is released on Jellymould Jazz, a record label dedicated to promoting exciting jazz
artists based in the UK. These include Stan Sulzmann/Nikki Iles, Sam Leak's Aquarium, Hannes
Riepler and Tim Thornton.

Starita, a saxophonist from Boston.
Producer Chris Ellis recently rediscovered the Kit-Cat LP that he produced in 1979. On hearing it again

‘A Place to Be’ is the first collaboration between British saxophonist Justin Swadling and the multi
award winning string ensemble, Piatti Quartet. The outstanding sonic qualities of this record allow
the listener to be fully submerged into a cinematic type experience full of mystery and intrigue.
This original work sees the Piatti Quartet employ a host of extended instrumental techniques designed

extraordinary blend of alto saxophone and string quartet creates a unique sound world that bridges the
gap between classical music and more contemporary genres.
Vinyl is unquestionably the perfect medium to deliver this album with its strong focus on high-fidelity
audio. Throughout the production process, accurately recreating the true sound of the saxophone and
string quartet was of paramount importance. By maintaining the highest engineering standards, from
the recording room right through to the vinyl's lacquer cutting at London's Abbey Road Studios, an
unrivalled experience of uncompromising audio quality is delivered.
Conceived and performed by world-class musicians guided by a unique vision, 'A Place to Be' is a wholly
original creation, both highly accessible and rich in musical integrity.

Newly repressed after being unavailable for over 3 years.
ROB was an enigmatic recording artist from Ghana who cut two albums for the
legendary Essiebons label in 1977. This is the second and it has become prized amongst
collectors in recent years.
The title track from this LP was always one of the most popular on the first Soundway
release Ghana Soundz and over the years Soundway have been asked many times to reissue the LP in it’s entirety. A stranger, slower offering than his more dancefloor funkladen and Spartan first LP, this record sees ROB in similar territory but with the tempo
switched down and the introspection turned up.
ROB’s trademark horns dominate and are supplied by the Mag-2, an army band founded
by leader Amponsah Rockson, who named it after the army unit the band played for the
“magnificent” second battalion. In 1977, Rob traveled to the coastal town of Takoradi in
search of Mag-2, which had an entire section of its line-up dedicated to horns, with the
intension of laying out his proposal to them. Luckily for Rob, the band took him up on it.
With religious overtones and a broody, slightly off-key atmosphere at points it’s certainly
one of the stranger afro-funk records to come out of West Africa but with tracks like Loose
up Yourself and Make it Fast, Make it Slow he nails the funk for sure.

RUF RECORDS
£14.50
BLUES
You can't miss Andy Frasco. The electric-shock hair. The megawatt charisma.
The golden lungs, magic fingers and party-starting songs. When this twenty-something
Californian bandleader takes to the stage with The U.N., you'll get an adrenalin-shot of
pure escapism. Happy Bastards is aptly titled. These twelve new songs are an industrialstrength blast of glass-half-full optimism, with the band's self-styled brand of party blues
jostling with funk, soul, rock and roots.
"I'm trying to bring a different interpretation of what people think the blues is," says Andy. "Not
all blues need to be sad and lonesome. I love acts like Wilson Pickett, Marvin Gaye, Buddy Guy,
The Band, Samantha Fish, Houndmouth - all these acts that really made the blues their own
style".
There have been great studio albums before - try 2014's acclaimed third release Half A Man - but
none have bottled the band's frantic live energy quite like Happy Bastards. "We got the record
produced by Rick Parker (Lord Huron, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Scott Weiland Band) and John
Avila from Oingo Boingo," says Andy. "Having those guys on your side was huge. They get that we
are a live band, so they set all of us up live and we basically all played together until we all got it
right. It was an amazing thing to make a record like how they made records in the '70s".
Co-written by the frontman, guitarist Shawn Eckels and Kenli Mattus, these all-original songs are
emotionally resonant and rip-it-up exciting, driven by the chemistry between the core U.N. lineup
of Ernie Chang (sax), Andee Avila (drums) and Supaman (bass). "I basically picked my favourite
musicians from around the world," explains Andy of the cosmopolitan vibe.
On tour in Europe in August 2016.

album, Honey For The Biscuit, the US singer/songwriter/musician unveils thirteen new songs
that push her beloved genre into the spotlight.
As the daughter of R&B trailblazer and Stax giant Johnnie Taylor, Tasha's genealogy is auspicious.
And yet, while lesser talents might trade on that hallowed surname, Honey For The Biscuit is a
personal statement bearing her own unique thumbprint.
Recorded in LA, Tasha was joined in the studio with the core band. Tasha Taylor (Vocals, guitar,
percussion), Nathan Watts (bass), John Notto (guitar), Jon Taylor (guitar), Don Wyatt
(piano/organ) and Munjungo Jackson (percussion), Gerry Brown, Ronald Bruner & Stanley
Randolph (drums), and Jamelle Williams, Matthew DeMeritt, & Lemar Buillary (horns).
Honey For The Biscuit is a thrilling reboot of the great American genres, taking in soul, funk and
every shade of blue. Special songs dovetail with special guests. There's the light-footed guitar lick
and gang chants of Family Tree (featuring Keb' Mo'). The handclaps and doo-wop refrain of Little
Miss Suzie (Robert Randolph guesting on lap steel). The full-throttle, funky ode to a cheating man
on Leave That Dog Alone (Samantha Fish supplying fiery guitar/vocals). The brassy belt of Same
Old Thing (Tommy Castro at the microphone). "I got very lucky and got some great friends to
play," smiles Tasha. "Nice honey for my record..."
In 2016, Tasha hits stages across Europe and America armed with Honey For The Biscuit: the
breakout third record that realizes her potential, spreads the word about the genre she has
always championed, and carries that magical surname into a bold new age. "If one person leaves
with a new favorite song," she considers, "then I'm happy..."
Tasha is on tour with Ruf Records' Blues Caravan 2016.

‘The Kennedys' Irish Mafia’ tells the untold story of the Irish who surrounded the most
charismatic political figure of the 20th Century - President John F. Kennedy. Who they
were, how they supported their leader, and the price some of them paid for this
unswerving devotion.
Nowhere was the assassination of Kennedy more acutely felt than in his ancestral homeland of
Ireland.
What was known as Kennedys' "Irish Mafia" became the key advisors surrounding the President.
People like the affable Dave Powers, the clinical Kenny O'Donnell and the strategist Larry O'Brien
- men selected for their loyalty and devotion to JFK and his family. This group helped him win the
Presidency, grieved for his passing and provided political support to his successors for decades
afterwards.
This award winning documentary features interviews with key witnesses to the Kennedy
Presidency, as well as professional and amateur archive footage and new scenes of the locations.
‘The Kennedys' Irish Mafia’ is a stunning recollection about one of the most remarkable periods in
modern history.

Todd Carter's eclectic interests allowed him take another tangent or two. He traveled, he
taught. And he also made an album, 2013's Songs for a Traveler, that featured great songs from
our country's heartland, dating back to 1850 and moving up as far as 1950. Then, after
producing the artists Bernardo Palombo and French artist, Leopold, Carter immersed himself in
the songbooks of Country greats, Townes Van Zandt, Merle Haggard and Ray Price. And then
the boy knew it was time to put together Lead me to the Water.
This remarkable album is where Carter's various influences cohere into a consistent, kickass
collection. From the jump you know you're hearing something special. And that's because of the
exquisite support from a bunch of first-rate players. Whether it's Andy Hess (Gov't Mule, Black
Crowes) grooving on the bass, Diego Voglino (Marshall Crenshaw) holding it down on the drums,
Steve Elliott (Shooter Jennings) lending snaky guitar lines or Sasha Dobson (Norah Jones), cooing
background vocals, 'Water' has a full screen, spacious, wide-open sound.
And then there are the songs. From the first moments of the leadoff track "Lead Me To The
Water," which immediately haunts the listener with its crying steel guitar, to the precisely-picked
acoustic gem, "Where Did You Go?" to the contentious "Bone To Pick,' this album by The Looking
has its roots not just in Country and Indie-Rock, but immaculate '70s singer-songwriter classics by
Jackson Browne and JD Souther.

Some of today’s bands play 60s garage rock. Only a handful play Merseybeat, and
even fewer are so-called ‘Shadows bands’. And then we have Perry Dear and the
Deerstalkers…
They operate within a timeframe that goes from April 1962 to circa December 1963,
when 6-string bass instrumentals had their heyday. Today this is an almost forgotten
genre, but for a little more than one year’s time this was a serious competitor to both
the Shadows-type bands and to Merseybeat, which really took off during 1963. The
genre’s characteristics is first and foremost that the solo instrument is a 6-string bass
(but not a baritone guitar) and that the musical arrangements, as well as the
instrumentation, are a bit more ‘advanced’ than with pure Shadows-type bands and
beat bands.
It’s therefore with pride that Jansen Plateproduksjon now are releasing three records
with this group. Its members' previous merits go from instrumental rock in groups like
Kåre & the Cavemen, Mobsmen and Burt Rocket, to more typical Merseybeat, or just
beat music, in Peter Berry & the Shake Set and The Indikation. But all five of them agree
that Perry Dear and the Deerstalkers’ music is some of the best they’ve produced so far.

These days everything you consume has to be checked - a vibrant outside can hide a
genetically modified Frankenstein interior. Finding that 100% organically grown with
no artificial rhymes can be difficult. This album is for those looking for something less
calculated. Powerful production runs the range from soulful, funk filled, and hard knocking
to cool, laid back easy nodders.
The rhymes are politically aware without taking themselves too serious - so from the occasional
judo chop to the need for sexy, dirty slutty money - Denmark explores life from the perspective of
a man who grew up on minimum wage and butter sandwiches but has grown into a self-aware
scholar. Lyrics don't sugar coat anything -no matter how rough that truth might appear: "The
fleek shall inherit the Earth and the meek shall be buried in dirt - ain't nothing sweet."
Denmark delivers existential truths while still throwing in a "where the hoes at?" A street savvy
album that explores Black love, brutality, capitalism's grip on our daily thoughts, and the
connection it all has to our ancestors. Gensu Dean has produced for David Banner, Large
Professor, Roc Marciano, and more, while Denmark Vessey has had his praises sung by the likes
of Earl Sweatshirt.

Thirty-four plaques containing fragments of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy are dotted around
the historical centre of Florence. They were placed there at the beginning of the 1900s and were
intended as a reminder of those people and places that had left their mark on the city and its
history: a few lines from the boundless ocean of the poem floating adrift.
Divina.com was written as a mixed media piece to be sung by David Moss and comprises
ensemble, live electronics and video. It was premiered on 5 July 2004 in front of Michelangelo’s
David at Florence’s Galleria dell’Accademia. The current audio edition is the live recording of that
event.
Divina.com comprises thirty-six episodes, one for each epigraph and a further two, which refer to
Michelangelo, who had written some of Dante’s verses next to the sketches in two of his
drawings. The various excerpts are in syntactical order linked to the unfolding of the composition.

York Höller was born in Leverkusen and studied from 1963–70 in Cologne with Bernd Alois
Zimmermann, Herbert Eimert, and Alfons Kontarsky, among others. His participation in Pierre
Boulez’s analysis seminars at the 1965 Darmstadt Summer Courses motivated him to explore
serial music.
After temporary employment at the Bonn Opera House, he worked in 1971/72 in the West
German Radio’s Studio for Electronic Music, whose artistic director he was from 1990 to 2000.
Höller has received numerous awards, and many works were written as commissions from
prominent ensembles.
The works on this recording span many years of his compositions and are expertly performed by
the Minguet Quartett accompanied by Markus Bellheim on piano on some of the works.

CLASSICAL
René Wohlhauser is an internationally active and creative composer and interpreter: In 2013,
the label NEOS began its CD series ‘Wohlhauser Edition’.
Wohlhauser (composition, piano, baritone, conductor) was born in 1954 and grew up in Brienz
(Switzerland). Experiences as a rock and jazz musician, accompanist and improviser have
accompanied and continue to accompany his principal activity as a composer of contemporary art
music (including chamber, orchestral and stage works). He received his training at the Basel
Academy of Music, studying with Robert Suter, Jacques Wildberger and Thomas Kessler, also
attending composition courses with Kazimierz Serocki, Mauricio Kagel, Herbert Brün and Heinz
Holliger.
Duo Simolka–Wohlhauser, from Basel, specializes in the interpretation of contempo-rary vocal
music and carries out annual tours of Switzerland and various major European cities (e.g. Basel,
Bern, Zurich, Stuttgart, Munich, Hamburg, Berlin, Paris, Salzburg). Its fundamental concern is to
bring current vocal works from the field of contemporary music to the stage, and thus give this
genre new impulses for further development.

CLASSICAL
When the first concert of the series founded by the composer Karl Amadeus Hartmann (later
designated as musica viva) took place at Munich's Prince Regent's Theatre on 7 October 1945, it
marked the birth of an important new cultural event in post-war Germany.
Up to the present day, this oldest concert series for New Music still brings together the world's
most important artists - conductors and interpreters alike - in the field of new and the newest
music, also continuing to set new standards for the interpretation of new classical music with the
outstanding Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
The SACD presented here is a good example of this: Ligeti's Lontano - a classic! Murail's Piano
Concerto completed in 2012 - interpreted by Pierre-Laurent Aimard - and Benjamin's Palimpsests
of 2002. All three works conducted by George Benjamin himself - one can't do any better than
that!
Tracks:
Ligeti:
Lontano For Large Orchestra
Tristan Murail:
Le Désenchantement Du Monde. Concerto Symphonique Pour Piano Et Orchestre
Benjamin (*1960):
Palimpsests For Orchestra - Palimpsest I (Viertel = 88)
Palimpsest II (Viertel = 112)
