The Sound Culture podcast: episode 40 feat. Rodriguez, Coconot, Francophonic, Deastro, Flower Travellin' Band, and more.
1. from "Cold Fact" (Light In The Attic) It’s one of the lost classics of the ‘60s, a psychedelic masterpiece drenched in colour and inspired by life, love, poverty, rebellion, and, of course, “jumpers, coke, sweet mary jane”. The album is Cold Fact, and what’s more intriguing is that its maker — a shadowy figure known as Rodriguez — was, for many years, lost too. A decade ago, he was rediscovered working on a Detroit building site, unaware that his defining album had become not only a cult classic, but for the people of South Africa, a beacon of revolution. Here's some live footage... 2. from "Gold On Gold" (Cohen Cooper & Roberts) Clubfeet met under a single umbrella during an electrical storm in Melbourne, Australia. They mix their love of Peter Gabriel with their penchant for yellow neckties, Enya, and the phrase “international smoking pleasure”. Their debut record “Gold on Gold” is being released in November 2008 through Cohen Cooper & Roberts and swell ex-D.F.A. NY party guys “Plant Music”, and contains blogosphere hit “Teenage Suicide (don’t do it)” and the MTV Fanwalk theme song “Pull it Together”. 3. from "Keeper's" (Ghostly International) When Randolph Chabot first began recording his own albums at age 12, he discovered a means of living out his fantasies. Using whatever instrument he could find, Chabot began constructing hyper-emotional dream worlds—teenage symphonies peopled by superheroes, aliens, lost souls, and star-crossed lovers. He’s been zipping through the clouds ever since, streaking the skies as his superhuman alter-ego, Deastro. 4. from "Francophonic - Vol. 1: 1953-1980" (Sterns) 28 tracks that tell the first part of the story, from 1953 - 1980, of one of Africa's greatest musicians. Before Youssou N’Dour, beyond Fela Kuti, and up there with Miriam Makeba; for Africa and Africans, only Franco can truly be called “the greatest”. 5. from "Scatterpopia" (Public Transit Recordings) In May 2007 iaM embarked on recording their debut album, the musical journey to a land they call Scatterpopia. Scatterpopia features guest appearances by the likes of Ninja Tune's own Ghislain Poirier and the vocal genius of Laura Barrett 6. from "The Misled Children Meet Odean Pope" (Porter Records) It is rumored that this album has a guest appearance by Clutchy Hopkins. We are not quite sure if this is true or if Clutchy Hopkins even exists. All we know is that this record was created either by a group of Jazz musicians or by just one man. 7. from "We Are Here" (Pony Canyon) After over 30 years, this legendary Japanese psychedelic rock band has reunited. The group’s work is often cited as a precursor to Doom metal and Stoner rock. 8. from "An Afternoon With Camilla - Anomie Remixes" (The Frequency Lab) In this release Anomie has remixed Monk Fly & Camilla Hill's track 'I Saw You First' into a halftime Dubstep whopping classic. The release contains two classy edits from Anomie, one short, sweet and solid edit for radio and one longer more wobbling edit for the dance floor. 9. from "Autopirate" (Muti Music) 'ill.gates' versatility is evident in the variety of genres covered on ‘Autopirate’, everything from Hip Hop, Electro House & Techno to Breakbeat, Grime and Dubstep. This debut album as ‘ill.gates’ pushes the envelope and creates some very fresh new perspectives. 10. from "Christmas Remixed 2" (Rock River Music) More re-grooved versions of your favorite Christmas classics performed by Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Mahalia Jackson, Patti Page, Charlie Parker and others. Remixers include Kaskade, John Beltran, King Kooba and Bombay Dub Orchestra. |
