The origins of this trend may be traced back to the rare groove movement that flourished in the 1990s, but its current deep and wide popularity seems to be connected to the fact that Japanese people have been reevaluating their own jazz since the mid-2000s, locally referred to as WaJazz (“Wa” meaning Japan but also the \u003cstrong\u003eShōwa\u003c\/strong\u003e emperor period, from 1926 to 1989). Since the beginning of the 2000s, there has been a growing trend to move away from the DJ-focused perspective and to appreciate jazz with a deeper understanding. Nowadays, there is more and more interest in the background and roots in which jazz has developed in Japan, with Japanese jazz as a whole now considered as its own distinctive genre.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOf course, even if we speak about “WaJazz” as one genre, there is a truly wide variety of styles within it. However, when Japanese musicians play, there is something uniquely Japanese flowing through that creates a kind of synergy. It may be the melody, the rhythm, or even something deeper, like an inexpressible flicker. I would be happy if some of its charms and secrets emerge from the fourteen tracks included in this collection.” \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e--\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eYusuke Ogawa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYusuke Ogawa\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e has been running the \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUniversounds\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003estore in Tokyo since 2001, specializing in jazz and second-hand, rare, and collector records.

Following the first compilation which focused on recordings from the Nippon Columbia catalog, this time we are digging into the King Records archives. It is almost impossible to capture the whole picture of Wa-Jazz in a couple of compilation albums since it is such a broad and deep genre, however, by extracting tracks from the Nippon Columbia and King Records collections – both labels having an extensive archive of jazz music – we may be able to glimpse a part of its allure and essence. This time again, I have made the music selection with this idea in mind. The music in this compilation was recorded between 1962 and 1985 and is a brief history of Japanese jazz on King Records. Listening is believing, so I hope these tracks will capture your heart and that you will enjoy the charms of Japanese jazz.”\u003c\/em\u003e – \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eYusuke Ogawa\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYusuke Ogawa\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e has been running the \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUniversounds\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003estore in Tokyo since 2001, specializing in jazz and second-hand, rare, and collector records.

When the Fatback Band topped the 1975 US charts with their infectious “Do The Bus Stop” hit, Japanese label Victor put out the following year the first Japan-made Disco tune with “Sexy Bus Stop”, released under the mysterious name Dr. Dragon \u0026amp; Oriental Express, a pseudonym for successful Japanese pop composer Kyohei Tsutsumi. “Sexy Bus Stop” became an instant hit in the country, and, taking this opportunity, various Japanese record companies started releasing Disco music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1976 until the early 1980s, the music was often recorded by skilled studio musicians, rather than by computer input, providing a really solid sound to the dancefloor. Disco music was also spreading into TV series, commercials, and anime. From Godiego’s monster hit “The Birth Of The Odyssey - Monkey Magic” to Pink Parachute’s obscure (and excellent!) “Disco Great Tokyo” tune, this selection explores some of the finest Disco and Boogie music released on the legendary Nippon Columbia label in the late seventies and early eighties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you ready?

The terms \"soul jazz\" and \"funky jazz\" were coined as a way to describe this new sound that was making an impact in the US and also on the other sides of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1964, Ray Charles made his first visit to Japan. Then, in 1968, Martha \u0026amp; The Vandellas and Stevie Wonder set foot in the country, followed by Sam \u0026amp; Dave in 1969, Ike \u0026amp; Tina Turner in 1970, and B.B. King in 1971. The TV show \"Soul Train\" also began airing in Japan in the early 1970s. A watershed moment happened in 1973 when Sammy Davis Jr. was cast in a TV commercial for Suntory whisky — and the influence of the US Black entertainment world had really landed, with soul, jazz, and funk artists becoming household names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNippon Columbia played a pivotal role during this turning point. The company had contracts with Buddah Records and Blue Thumb Records, releasing notable works by artists such as Gladys Knight \u0026amp; The Pips, Curtis Mayfield, The Crusaders, and The Pointer Sisters. At the same time, the label was also releasing several Japanese soul, jazz, and funk projects under the lead of music director Jiro Inagaki. Inagaki, a saxophonist who began his professional career in the early 1950s, honed his skills at U.S. military camps, where he shared his love of music with the Black servicemen. In the 1960s, he played with drummer Hideo Shiraki's band, which was widely considered to be Japan's representative group of the funky jazz movement. Later, Inagaki went on to pursue more cutting-edge sounds with his Soul Media project, including being a pioneering figure in the \"jazz rock\" genre. By working closely with Inagaki and his various musical projects, Nippon Columbia really placed the company at the center of an exciting and important period in Japanese music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1965, Nippon Columbia opened a recording studio in Tokyo's Akasaka neighborhood. Akasaka was also home to the first ever discotheque in Japan, the legendary MUGEN, which ran from 1968 to 1987 and where many acts performed, including Con Funk Shun, the Bar-Kays, Ike \u0026amp; Tina Turner, B.B. King, Sam \u0026amp; Dave, Three Degrees, and Edwin Starr, as well as many local Japanese singers and musicians. This melting pot of creativity in the area led to the recording of many singles and albums by Japanese artists that were infused with the sounds of soul and funk. Most of these recordings were not available outside of Japan and remain rare and unknown musical gems. The selection you are holding in your hands is an explosive collection of 10 essential tracks released by the legendary Nippon Columbia label between 1969 and 1977, capturing the raw, unapparelled energy that was flowing through the air of the Akasaka streets at this electrifying time.

A fan of world music, I began searching for Japanese roots music I could identify with. Discovering mid-late 20th century acts like Hibari Misora, Chiemi Eri and the Tokyo Cuban Boys, I was captivated by their eccentric arrangements and how they mixed min'yo with latin and jazz music.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLead singer Freddie Tsukamoto fell for min'yo after hearing a song from his hometown on a TV competition whilst in a restaurant. It was a revelation – until then he had been an aspiring jazz singer yet was uncomfortable singing in English. The restaurateur told him a min'yo teacher was his neighbour and the two connected. Tanaka and Freddie formed Minyo Crusaders in 2011 in Fussa, a city where the US military Yokota Air Base is located, in western Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecruiting other local musicians versed in afro and latin rhythms, they began hosting jam sessions at the Banana House, a building that was previously part of the military base and that used to house US soldiers. The band started recording their music, and their debut album \"Echoes Of Japan\" was released in 2017. It received huge acclaim in Japan and abroad, and was also released by British label Mais Um in 2019. Several European tours followed, as well as some US and South America gigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this second opus, the Minyo Crusaders take us on a trip to Japanese folk songs fused with latin rhythms. Their unique arrangements breathe new life to classics like Kiso Bushi, Sado Okesa or Soran Bushi, among many other min'yo songs from all over Japan that were originally performed by Japanese fishermen, coal miners and sumo wrestlers hundreds of years ago. The magical groove created here proves once again that the Minyo Crusaders are one of the most dynamic representatives of the current Japanese world music scene.

In the mid-1960s, British groups like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones swept across the globe, while in the United States Bob Dylan famously swapped his folk guitar for an electric one, igniting the folk-rock movement. From the surge of new energy among young people in Britain and America — entwined with hippie culture, drugs, and the radical momentum of the anti-Vietnam War movement — an extraordinary body of rock music emerged, ushering in what would become the golden age of rock in the 1970s. In Japan, from around 1968, record companies began grouping these sounds under the label “New Rock,” introducing domestic releases of Western rock to Japanese audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the time, Japan was in the midst of the peak GS (Group Sounds) boom – a sound that fused Japanese kayōkyoku music and Western rock music. But possessing a rare sense of foresight, singer and record producer Yuya Uchida encountered this revolutionary new wave of rock firsthand during his travels through Europe beginning in the spring of 1967. After returning to Japan, he formed Yuya Uchida \u0026amp; The Flowers. Their freaked-out sound — steel guitar driven through wah pedals and fuzz — marked them as something entirely different, standing apart from conventional GS acts. Other groups also added British and American rock numbers to their repertoires, but because their shows and releases were fundamentally bound to the structures of the Japanese entertainment industry, most had few options once the GS boom faded: they either shifted toward a strictly kayōkyoku-style path or disbanded altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven so, in 1970, The Flowers, now joined by Joe Yamanaka, formerly of 4.9.1, and Hideki Ishima, formerly of The Beavers, renamed themselves Flower Travellin’ Band and went on to make their mark overseas. At the same time, other key musicians from the GS generation — including Shigeru Narumo of The Fingers and Hiro Yanagida of The Floral — fought to establish a distinctly Japanese form of rock music. Meanwhile, folk music driven by young anti-establishment artists began to rise out of the underground scene, gradually influencing the mainstream. As a result, record companies one after another launched dedicated rock and folk labels, signaling a major shift in the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1972, Nippon Columbia launched its first dedicated rock and folk label, Propeller, releasing a steady stream of forward-looking titles by artists such as Hiroshi Segawa (formerly of The Dynamites) and Tetsu Yamauchi, who, up until then, was a prolific session musician in the scene. Influenced by late-’60s acts like Blood, Sweat \u0026amp; Tears and Chicago, Japanese jazz musicians also began boldly incorporating rock elements into their work. As a result, many records from this period have since become prized classics in the rare groove scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove all, this compilation was selected to let you experience the free, innovative, and deeply experimental sounds created by Japanese musicians whose passion rivaled that of their British and American counterparts.

Ancient civilizations like the Maya and Aztecs designed their cities as gigantic star maps, orienting their buildings to mark equinoxes, solstices, and zenith passages. This inquisitive form of meaning-making through art has long been endangered—first by Spanish colonizers; then by the Mexican government’s throttling of artistic expression in the late 20th century; and now by the violent anti-Mexican sentiments of the present day propagated by U.S. President Donald Trump. And through it all, the Mexican spirit of astral curiosity has continued to inform the artistic brilliance of sculptors, writers, painters, and especially musicians in Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s, artists from around the country were deeply engaged in the project of bringing forgotten Mexican instrumentation into the many worlds of experimental music. As Carlos “Tropicaza” Icaza says in the liner notes of Light in the Attic’s A La Altura: Visionary Mexican Music 1977-1999 - Volumes 1 \u0026amp; 2, it was a moment in which musicians were “search[ing] for a Mexican musical root” by integrating ideas from the contemporary worlds of classical minimalism, ambient music, new age, free improv, and electro-acoustic composition with the incorporation of Pre-Colombian instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese two collections of Mexican experimental music feature 25 visionary artists over two volumes. The intention is twofold and embedded in its title: A La Altura (or To The Height). These artists were actively engaged in a form of consciousness raising, whether by questing for the stars through their music or by elevating the artform itself. Just as boldly, these two volumes make the statement that Mexican artists and composers like Luis Perez, Ana Ruiz, Antonio Zepeda, and Jorge Reyes should be spoken in the same breath as Michael Rother, Terry Riley, Hiroshi Yoshimura, and the many other artists who have been rightly feted for their spirit of experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompiled and produced by Mexican journalist, musician, and DJ Icaza and dublab radio founder and LA Phil Creative Producer Mark “Frosty” McNeill over the span of nearly a decade with the support of all artists represented, A La Altura does exactly that. “We want to raise the profile of these artists to show they’re on the same level as those at the vanguard of the most celebrated boundary-pushing movements in global music history but with deep roots in Mexico,” McNeill says. While you might hear a few familiar flourishes, what holds these collections together is their difference, the sense that the music they contain is being made by people who aren’t ignorant of the world beyond their physical borders, but who are more interested in transcending borders altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey’re after “a dreamed heritage,” as McNeill poignantly puts it. “It's incredible to celebrate the deep friendships we have between the U.S. and Mexico, and our common love of music and art,” Light in the Attic’s Matt Sullivan says. “And it shows a side of Mexico that a lot of people like me didn’t know about.” While Icaza, McNeill, and Sullivan had talked for years about putting together a project focused on Mexican music, it wasn’t until the early days of the pandemic that they began their work in earnest. The collective shift toward more introspective music, and the looming reminder of mortality, brought new urgency to the project. As did the continued inflaming of the U.S. president’s negative rhetoric concerning Mexico. For Icaza, it was important to show how Mexican composers and performers understood themselves not only as consumers of work made by artists from other countries, but as peers engaged in an ongoing discussion about the state of the art. They were tapped into international musical scenes while shaping their own voices from uniquely Mexican perspectives. It was just as important to demonstrate the ways in which musicians and music fans from the U.S. and Mexico have forged bonds for decades, regardless of any constructs of political ill will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of the music contained on A La Altura can trace its lineage to El Tianguis Cultural del Chopo, or El Chopo, a flea market in Mexico City where people have been trading musical ideas for decades. Since its opening in 1980, when the Mexican government was actively repressing countercultural expression, El Chopo introduced local musicians to records being put out by Crammed Discs, Rough Trade, 4AD, Wax Trax, and other labels in the international vanguard. “Back then, it wasn’t that easy to get to know the underground music from different countries,” Icaza says, and while the music that flowed through El Chopo gave local artists plenty of ideas, it was their interest in forging a bond between the music of the avant-garde and imagining a Mexico whose indigenous expression had never been suppressed that gave their music its considerable power. Forced into the margins by their government, these artists responded by forming ad-hoc listening networks, putting out their own records, and trading them with one another at the market—a distinctly DIY practice that, in a nice bit of futurist kismet, allowed for a kind of networking, creative exchange, and record distribution that now dominates the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of these artists—like Ana Ruiz, whose free jazz combo Atrás del Cosmos toured Mexico with Don and Moki Cherry, and whose solo synthesizer piece “Ananecia 12” is collected here—were classically trained. Others—like journalist and broadcaster Walter Schmidt, who’s represented here with a multilayered piano experiment “L’Vampire”—didn’t identify as musicians at all. Jorge Reyes, Antonio Zepeda, and Luis Perez alchemized pre-Colombian instrumentation with modern electronics and electric instruments, producing new forms of music that suggest an alternate Mexican history in which artistic suppression never happened. Their exploratory ethos is matched by electro-acoustic experiments by Antonio Russek and Ariel Guzik, while the set also illuminates the astonishing works of once-obscure figures like Xavier Zetina, F. Steel, and Aristeo.

Ancient civilizations like the Maya and Aztecs designed their cities as gigantic star maps, orienting their buildings to mark equinoxes, solstices, and zenith passages. This inquisitive form of meaning-making through art has long been endangered—first by Spanish colonizers; then by the Mexican government’s throttling of artistic expression in the late 20th century; and now by the violent anti-Mexican sentiments of the present day propagated by U.S. President Donald Trump. And through it all, the Mexican spirit of astral curiosity has continued to inform the artistic brilliance of sculptors, writers, painters, and especially musicians in Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s, artists from around the country were deeply engaged in the project of bringing forgotten Mexican instrumentation into the many worlds of experimental music. As Carlos “Tropicaza” Icaza says in the liner notes of Light in the Attic’s A La Altura: Visionary Mexican Music 1977-1999 - Volumes 1 \u0026amp; 2, it was a moment in which musicians were “search[ing] for a Mexican musical root” by integrating ideas from the contemporary worlds of classical minimalism, ambient music, new age, free improv, and electro-acoustic composition with the incorporation of Pre-Colombian instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese two collections of Mexican experimental music feature 25 visionary artists over two volumes. The intention is twofold and embedded in its title: A La Altura (or To The Height). These artists were actively engaged in a form of consciousness-raising, whether by questing for the stars through their music or by elevating the art form itself. Just as boldly, these two volumes make the statement that Mexican artists and composers like Luis Perez, Ana Ruiz, Antonio Zepeda, and Jorge Reyes should be spoken in the same breath as Michael Rother, Terry Riley, Hiroshi Yoshimura, and the many other artists who have been rightly feted for their spirit of experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompiled and produced by Mexican journalist, musician, and DJ Icaza and dublab radio founder and LA Phil Creative Producer Mark “Frosty” McNeill over the span of nearly a decade with the support of all artists represented, A La Altura does exactly that. “We want to raise the profile of these artists to show they’re on the same level as those at the vanguard of the most celebrated boundary-pushing movements in global music history but with deep roots in Mexico,” McNeill says. While you might hear a few familiar flourishes, what holds these collections together is their difference, the sense that the music they contain is being made by people who aren’t ignorant of the world beyond their physical borders, but who are more interested in transcending borders altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey’re after “a dreamed heritage,” as McNeill poignantly puts it. “It's incredible to celebrate the deep friendships we have between the U.S. and Mexico, and our common love of music and art,” Light in the Attic’s Matt Sullivan says. “And it shows a side of Mexico that a lot of people like me didn’t know about.” While Icaza, McNeill, and Sullivan had talked for years about putting together a project focused on Mexican music, it wasn’t until the early days of the pandemic that they began their work in earnest. The collective shift toward more introspective music, and the looming reminder of mortality, brought new urgency to the project. As did the continued inflaming of the U.S. president’s negative rhetoric concerning Mexico. For Icaza, it was important to show how Mexican composers and performers understood themselves not only as consumers of work made by artists from other countries, but as peers engaged in an ongoing discussion about the state of the art. They were tapped into international musical scenes while shaping their own voices from uniquely Mexican perspectives. It was just as important to demonstrate the ways in which musicians and music fans from the U.S. and Mexico have forged bonds for decades, regardless of any constructs of political ill will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of the music contained on A La Altura can trace its lineage to El Tianguis Cultural del Chopo, or El Chopo, a flea market in Mexico City where people have been trading musical ideas for decades. Since its opening in 1980, when the Mexican government was actively repressing countercultural expression, El Chopo introduced local musicians to records being put out by Crammed Discs, Rough Trade, 4AD, Wax Trax, and other labels in the international vanguard. “Back then, it wasn’t that easy to get to know the underground music from different countries,” Icaza says, and while the music that flowed through El Chopo gave local artists plenty of ideas, it was their interest in forging a bond between the music of the avant-garde and imagining a Mexico whose indigenous expression had never been suppressed that gave their music its considerable power. Forced into the margins by their government, these artists responded by forming ad-hoc listening networks, putting out their own records, and trading them with one another at the market—a distinctly DIY practice that, in a nice bit of futurist kismet, allowed for a kind of networking, creative exchange, and record distribution that now dominates the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of these artists—like Ana Ruiz, whose free jazz combo Atrás del Cosmos toured Mexico with Don and Moki Cherry, and whose solo synthesizer piece “Ananecia 12” is collected here—were classically trained.

Ancient civilizations like the Maya and Aztecs designed their cities as gigantic star maps, orienting their buildings to mark equinoxes, solstices, and zenith passages. This inquisitive form of meaning-making through art has long been endangered—first by Spanish colonizers; then by the Mexican government’s throttling of artistic expression in the late 20th century; and now by the violent anti-Mexican sentiments of the present day propagated by U.S. President Donald Trump. And through it all, the Mexican spirit of astral curiosity has continued to inform the artistic brilliance of sculptors, writers, painters, and especially musicians in Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s, artists from around the country were deeply engaged in the project of bringing forgotten Mexican instrumentation into the many worlds of experimental music. As Carlos “Tropicaza” Icaza says in the liner notes of Light in the Attic’s A La Altura: Visionary Mexican Music 1977-1999 - Volumes 1 \u0026amp; 2, it was a moment in which musicians were “search[ing] for a Mexican musical root” by integrating ideas from the contemporary worlds of classical minimalism, ambient music, new age, free improv, and electro-acoustic composition with the incorporation of Pre-Colombian instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese two collections of Mexican experimental music feature 25 visionary artists over two volumes. The intention is twofold and embedded in its title: A La Altura (or To The Height). These artists were actively engaged in a form of consciousness-raising, whether by questing for the stars through their music or by elevating the art form itself. Just as boldly, these two volumes make the statement that Mexican artists and composers like Luis Perez, Ana Ruiz, Antonio Zepeda, and Jorge Reyes should be spoken in the same breath as Michael Rother, Terry Riley, Hiroshi Yoshimura, and the many other artists who have been rightly feted for their spirit of experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompiled and produced by Mexican journalist, musician, and DJ Icaza and dublab radio founder and LA Phil Creative Producer Mark “Frosty” McNeill over the span of nearly a decade with the support of all artists represented, A La Altura does exactly that. “We want to raise the profile of these artists to show they’re on the same level as those at the vanguard of the most celebrated boundary-pushing movements in global music history but with deep roots in Mexico,” McNeill says. While you might hear a few familiar flourishes, what holds these collections together is their difference, the sense that the music they contain is being made by people who aren’t ignorant of the world beyond their physical borders, but who are more interested in transcending borders altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey’re after “a dreamed heritage,” as McNeill poignantly puts it. “It's incredible to celebrate the deep friendships we have between the U.S. and Mexico, and our common love of music and art,” Light in the Attic’s Matt Sullivan says. “And it shows a side of Mexico that a lot of people like me didn’t know about.” While Icaza, McNeill, and Sullivan had talked for years about putting together a project focused on Mexican music, it wasn’t until the early days of the pandemic that they began their work in earnest. The collective shift toward more introspective music, and the looming reminder of mortality, brought new urgency to the project. As did the continued inflaming of the U.S. president’s negative rhetoric concerning Mexico. For Icaza, it was important to show how Mexican composers and performers understood themselves not only as consumers of work made by artists from other countries, but as peers engaged in an ongoing discussion about the state of the art. They were tapped into international musical scenes while shaping their own voices from uniquely Mexican perspectives. It was just as important to demonstrate the ways in which musicians and music fans from the U.S. and Mexico have forged bonds for decades, regardless of any constructs of political ill will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of the music contained on A La Altura can trace its lineage to El Tianguis Cultural del Chopo, or El Chopo, a flea market in Mexico City where people have been trading musical ideas for decades. Since its opening in 1980, when the Mexican government was actively repressing countercultural expression, El Chopo introduced local musicians to records being put out by Crammed Discs, Rough Trade, 4AD, Wax Trax, and other labels in the international vanguard. “Back then, it wasn’t that easy to get to know the underground music from different countries,” Icaza says, and while the music that flowed through El Chopo gave local artists plenty of ideas, it was their interest in forging a bond between the music of the avant-garde and imagining a Mexico whose indigenous expression had never been suppressed that gave their music its considerable power. Forced into the margins by their government, these artists responded by forming ad-hoc listening networks, putting out their own records, and trading them with one another at the market—a distinctly DIY practice that, in a nice bit of futurist kismet, allowed for a kind of networking, creative exchange, and record distribution that now dominates the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of these artists—like Ana Ruiz, whose free jazz combo Atrás del Cosmos toured Mexico with Don and Moki Cherry, and whose solo synthesizer piece “Ananecia 12” is collected here—were classically trained. Others—like journalist and broadcaster Walter Schmidt, who’s represented here with a multilayered piano experiment “L’Vampire”—didn’t identify as musicians at all. Jorge Reyes, Antonio Zepeda, and Luis Perez alchemized pre-Colombian instrumentation with modern electronics and electric instruments, producing new forms of music that suggest an alternate Mexican history in which artistic suppression never happened. Their exploratory ethos is matched by electro-acoustic experiments by Antonio Russek and Ariel Guzik, while the set also illuminates the astonishing works of once-obscure figures like Xavier Zetina, F. Steel, and Aristeo. While the sounds these artists produced might differ from an aesthetic standpoint, they share a punkish, DIY spirit to their work that in turn brought them closer to their Mexican-ness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIcaza and McNeill assembled both volumes of A La Altura not as a way of providing a definitive guide to a discrete scene—such a thing would be impossible considering the range of musics, originating from across many Mexican states, and throughout the wide span of time represented here—but instead made their sequencing choices based on a feel for how the songs fit together. By bypassing the idea of canonization, they instead emphasize the listener’s present experience of this music, and indirectly suggest that there is much, much more brilliant music where this came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA La Altura: Visionary Mexican Music 1977-1999 - Volume 1 will be released on 2xLP \u0026amp; Digital on October 30th, 2026, followed by A La Altura: Visionary Mexican Music 1980-1997 - Volume 2 on 2xLP \u0026amp; Digital on November 27th alongside a 2xCD edition with a 64-page hardcover book; Volume 2 includes 4 tracks that have never been released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdvance single “Pirámide” by La Pirámide is out now on all DSPs. Pirámide was a Mexico City-based band formed by Jorge García Castil, former bass player in the groups Los Locos del Ritmo and Mister Loco. The track “Pirámide” appeared on the group’s debut album, originally released in 1985 and featuring three different parts assembling an aural form of a pyramid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth vinyl volumes were manufactured at renowned pressing plant Optimal and are presented on standard black wax as well as limited color editions (Volume 1 in purple \u0026amp; pink and Volume 2 in yellow \u0026amp; blue), and are accompanied by a 12-page booklet. Both formats’ liner notes were written by Icaza and include rare and unseen photos. All editions feature cover art by the great Eduardo Terrazas, whose iconic work with Lance Wyman for Mexico’s 1968 Olympics is a masterpiece of modernist design, and whose aesthetic principles predicted much of the music contained within these sets. The project has been lovingly remastered by multi-Grammy-nominated engineer John Baldwin with gorgeous graphic design and layout by Darryl Norsen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadnectar - Nge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirwaves - The Garden Trellis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMasos - Inicio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAna Ruiz - Ananecia 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalter Schmidt - L'Vampire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLa Música De Erich Zann - Hipnos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxomaxoma - La Guelageisha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF.

After numerous revisions to the song titles and a scrapped idea to overlay the tracks with nature field recordings, Hiroshi ultimately produced a latter-day masterwork that feels like the spiritual follow-up to Green, one of his defining works from a decade earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuiet Forest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhispering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoh River\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunrise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep Echoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelting Wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDancing Creek\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain Forest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLullaby of Leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Hiroshi Yoshimura","offers":[{"title":"CS \/ White","offer_id":46187973181631,"sku":"DRFT25-3-WH","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/850054840400_974x_825c5867-9e1f-474a-a948-7321726f2dfd.jpg?v=1789040073"},{"product_id":"various-artists-the-breakfast-club-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-lp","title":"The Breakfast Club (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cb\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e1xLP pressed on Black Vinyl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe soundtrack to everyone's favorite '80s movie will have you singing along from start to finish.

Williams's oft-brooding score is one of the key elements of the film's gut-wrenching success, a shrewdly manipulative orchestral underpinning that evokes the idyll of a beach resort one bar, the horrors of being eaten alive the next.

The epic “Boogie Chillen No. 2” stretches over 11-and-a-half minutes and is full of the same swagger as the original, with the support of Canned Heat igniting the verses and simmering on the subsequent instrumental breaks with all killer and no filler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCanned Heat are hands down the best back-up band John Lee Hooker has recorded.

And it was Ron Carter’s dulcet tones and swinging accompaniment on the double bass that drove nearly every \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eCTI\u003c\/span\u003e album since 1970 into the overdrive that its soloists are often given sole credit for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurprisingly, though, Ron Carter’s second \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eCTI\u003c\/span\u003e recording, All Blues, fell well below the radar. It was hardly noticed when it was first issued in early 1974 (his 1973 \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eCTI\u003c\/span\u003e debut, Blues Farm, which was hardly a hit, still remains better known). Interestingly, it’s probably among the best of the albums the bassist waxed for the \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eCTI\u003c\/span\u003e label between 1973 and 1976. This is due in no small measure to the commanding presence of tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson on “A Feeling,” “117 Special,” “Rufus” and “All Blues.” Carter here also solidifies a simpatico musical kinship with pianist Roland Hanna, who he’d first played with on a European tour in 1969. Hanna is especially featured on the florid trio feature, “Light Blue” (not the Monk piece), as well as Carter’s bop-y “Rufus” (not the Archie Shepp piece). Not surprisingly, Ron Carter dominates the proceedings, with his especially distinctive bass helming any number of attractive solo features (not to mention the overdubbed bass “solo” of “Will You Be Mine”). Doug Payne\/Jazzonline\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of bassist Ron Carter’s better albums as a leader, this \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eCTI\u003c\/span\u003e LP features a very compact quartet comprised of tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, pianist Roland Hanna (keyboardist Richard Tee sits in on one number), drummer Billy Cobham, and Carter. All of the music (even the ballad “Will You Still Be Mine?”) has a blues feeling, although several are not really blues. However, the quality of the solos is high, and this date lives up to one’s expectations.

The musicianship is flawless, the recording quality is top-notch, and the music performed on a single afternoon in October 1973 by Joe Henderson, Billy Cobham, Richard Tee, Roland Hanna and the leader just keeps getting better with age.

If ever there was one single album that summed up the Motörhead philosophy of ‘We are Motörhead, and we play Rock’N’Roll Music’, it was ‘1916’! The real ‘swansong’ of the dreamteam\/dreamtime line up of Lemmy, Phil Campbell, Wurzel and Philthy Animal Taylor, ‘1916’ raised the bar for Motoralbums to follow with its ‘all killer, no filler’ approach, not a duff track to be had….‘The One To Sing The Blues’ was as potent a statement of intent for the rest of the album as you’re ever likely to get, pure Motörhead, a sonic kick in the guts and a heart punch in the lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"After Lemmys’ emergency operation to remove his tongue from his cheek after penning the less-than-humble ‘I’m So Bad (Baby I Don’t Care)’, the Four Hoarse Men of the Apocalypse kicked into ‘No Voices In The Sky’ – affirming Lem’s earlier wake-up call from Iron Fists’ ‘Don’t Need Religion’ that this is it, there ain’t no afterlife, Evangelists are phonies and that yep, there ain’t no God, but if there is , he is living in Putney and screening his calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The spirit of Chuck Berry duckwalks into the studio alongside Wizzo and Wurzel for ‘Going To Brazil’, much like a night out with your favourite hedonist, all wrapped up in 12 Bars ‘Nightmare\/The Dreamtime’ was a bit of a departure (off the Motorway, if you will) – a bit of an ‘Orgasmatron’ reprise meeting a Mandrax-induced bad dream, all backwards guitars and creepy effects – Psychotronic rather than Psychedelic! It segued nicely into ‘Love Me Forever’, much like the best f*** you ever had, with a gentle opening, teased lasciviously into some ferocious banging!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Is it a paean to the shallowness of Los Angeles, or a (quick call the medics! Lem’s got his tongue stuck in his cheek again!) loving piss-take of his adopted city? Either way, ‘Angel City’ is rip-roaringly full-on, and paves the way for ’Make My Day’ – another shot of Lemmy’s wordsmithery that won’t have the authors of ’50 Ways to Leave Your Lover’ knocking at his door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Was there a more perfect wedding than Motorhead writing a song about the Ramones? The world’s two greatest rock’n’roll bands, all in one song – sign me up, Scotty!

I’m stumped!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"1916\", the title track, not so much a departure as an ‘I Can't Believe It’s Motorhead’ moment on first listening…. It’s since become the stuff of legend, the atmospheric (really, it can still bring tears to my eyes, especially around November….) ‘song of the Somme’, where a righteously and rightfully solemn Lemmy delivers a reading of a young boy soldier’s brief life (and death) in the trenches of World War 1, over an atmospheric, sparse backing. Heart-rending. Really. It comes as no surprise to hear that this track is used in a War Grove Museum in France today.
