Amon Tobin - Permutation

Amon Tobin - Permutation
(2xLP/CD) Ninja Tune ZEN36/ZENCD36, 1998-05-11

Info :
Vous aimez la musique qui fait vlic vlac boum sur fond de titi titi titi shou pâ ba pendant que des cuivres font fiououou ou ou? Pour peu qu'on aime le jazz, la musique électronique qui sonne acoustique et les montées musicales incessantes, on a de fortes chances de tomber sous le charme jazzo-samba de la musique d'Amon Tobin. De la programmation réglée sur papier millimétré aux boucles de jungle enivrantes, le père Amon donne une messe envoûtante et presque noire par moments (du moins, si l'on en croit la troisième plage de l'album). Pour ce qui est des pulsions qui peuvent se libérer lors de l'écoute, méfiez-vous des apparences: Tobin a l'avantage de toujours surprendre les oreilles les plus blasées. Un album qu'il faut s'arracher au plus vite chez votre plus proche revendeur de sons psychotropes à forte teneur en jazz, jungle et sons roots. Ah, comme c'est bon les classiques de jazz à la sauce Tobin. À consommer sans aucune modération…
Note classico jazz pour jungle déjanté sauce piquante : 5/5 (Tiff)

Monophonics - In Your Brain - out on Ubiquity Records

Monophonics In Your Brain
Monophonics - In Your Brain
(CD/2xLP/Digital) Ubiquity Records UR299, 2012-05-15

Monophonics are a San Francisco soul/funk band we've been following quite some time. We played their afrofunk track Ageless feat. Karl Denson from their 2010 album Into The Infrasounds (check here), we've selected for the upcoming third volume of the series their epic afro/funk/jam thing Baobab Tree from their 2007 album Playin & Simple, and since we received this fan-tas-tic third album to be released on Ubiquity Records mid-may, we've also played their soul burner There's A Riot Going On in last month's Bag of Goodies selection and kept a few other marvels on the side for some upcoming selections… Their cover of Bang Bang will surely fit a Molesting Laura mix soon, for example… The Monophonics sound is deeply rooted in 70s Funk & Soul, but with a lot of fuzzy psychedelics and bits of 60s garage rock, nods to afrofunk and blaxploitation, rather close to the best productions from Orgone or Daptone's studios, and it's quite understandable that the band left their self-releasing politics to join a worldwide label such as Ubiquity! This one won't leave the Paris DJs stereo for weeks… and vinyl is recommended, as always.

Alan Evans Trio - Drop Hop - out on Royal Family Records

Alan Evans Trio Drop Hop
Alan Evans Trio - Drop Hop
(CD/Digital) Royal Family Records, 2012-05-14

Soulive's drummer Alan Evans is back in the groove with a trio formation. If you're into Booker T. and the MG's, Medeski Martin & Wood, The City Champs, Will Bernard Trio, The Meters and every good organ trio, Drop Hop is a must-have and a future classic. Loaded with instantly catchy tunes, it reveals the obvious talents of Alan Evans' longtime friends: heavy Hammond lines of Beau Sasser (a true revelation on B3 - at least for us) and superb Danny Mayer's Grant-Greenish guitar riffs. We love the rough and dirty sound of this release, one of the Spring's grooviest soul-funkwise platter, along with the new Sugarman 3 and the terrific Wil Blades/Billy Martin duo's album (Shimmy).
