Plug - Drum 'n Bass For Papa (Japan edition)

Plug Drum N Bass For Papa
Plug - Drum 'n Bass For Papa
Blue Angel, Japan release, 1996-06
Catalogue # : [ANGEL 11LP/CD]

Info :
Sortie au Japon par Sony Japon. Le personnage sur le pochette est en réalité le Grand-père de Luke.

"Drum'n'bass for Papa" arrive a point nommé en 1995 ou la drum'n'bass et la jungle sont omniprésentes en angleterre... Luke Vibert (a.k.a. Plug) dévoile ici 80 minutes fascinantes, qui relèvent plus d'un voyage au royaume de l'improbable que d'une simple accumulation de sonorités mise en couches les unes sur les autres. La première édition (anglaise) propose dix morceaux aux influences diverses & d'une richesse de conception peu commune. Le réalisme, la cohérence, l'agencement et la qualité des samples de percussions sont impressionants, avec un jeu de construction limpide et soigné, mais egalement complexe, comme sait le faire Squarepusher par exemple. Mais, outre le travail minutieux apporté au rythme, Luke Vibert s'est amusé comme sur chacun de ses disques à poser une atmosphère: Cela projette l'auditeur à travers différentes époques, vers des horizons qu'il ne connaît que dans son inconscient. Également, la pochette du disque montre un vieux magicien d'extrême orient (En fait le grand père de Luke Vibert, illusionniste, d'ou le titre de l'album). Elle présente avec humour une musique qui promet mystère et tours de passe-passe, dans un enchevêtrement de styles et de climats.
Note : 4,5/5 (Lawkyz)

Monophonics - In Your Brain - out on Ubiquity Records

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
(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).
