Bardo Pond + Tom Carter - 4/23/03. three lobed

Bardo Pond need no introduction. Tom Carter doesn't either, really, but in case you've been distracted for the past few years, he is not only a psychedelic guitar legend, but a member of Charalambides, who have been getting quite a bit of attention for their involvement with the loosely defined New Weird Americana. Philadelphia quintet Bardo Pond have mined murky rock riffage for psychedelic gold, creating lysergic atmospheres with a well-documented flair for cinematic sound painting.

4/23/03 is a far out collaborative studio album blending the rich acoustic opulence of Bardo Pond with the oddball cinemascopic mysticism of Tom Carter. The opening track keys in at almost 20 minutes long and stretches a post-rock template into an out-there vision of stretched instruments and atmospheres - hugely evocative stuff. From there on in it's a delicate, at times intimate balance of instrumentation, electronics and space. The liquid, echoing guitar figures that course through this album really show that both Bardo Pond and Tom Carter have exceptional skill in improvising interesting and exciting psychedelia.

Bedouin Ascent - Science, Art & Ritual

Bedouin Ascent aka Kingsuk Biswas remains one of the more enigmatic UK electronic music producers. Science, Art & Ritual was his debut album released on Rising High in 1994.

The drum machine programming on some of his tracks is amazing, verging on the unbelievable. This guy was programming beats on vintage Roland machines that out-bizarre the chopped up laptop compositions of many modern "IDM" producers. Yet there is structure to all his work...even if you struggle to detect it until the track youre listening to starts to fade out!

His attention to melody and repetition is reminiscent in places of Steve Reichs minimal compositions. Patterns appear to move in and out of sync with the rhythm section, and harsh clangs and crashes juxtapose the sublime tuneful atmospherics. Its the kind of music that you can almost "zoom in and out" of - like a satellite photograph - either taking in the whole scene as it passes by, or focusing on the minute details.

John Fahey - Rain Forests Oceans & Other Themes

One of acoustic music's true innovators and eccentrics, John Fahey was a crucial figure in expanding the boundaries of the acoustic guitar over the last few decades. His music was so eclectic that it's arguable whether he should be defined as a "folk" artist. In a career that saw him issue several dozen albums, he drew from blues, Native American music, Indian ragas, experimental dissonance, and pop. His good friend Dr. Demento has noted that Fahey "was the first to demonstrate that the finger-picking techniques of traditional country and blues steel-string guitar could be used to express a world of non-traditional musical ideas, harmonies and melodies you'd associate with Bartok, Charles Ives, or maybe the music of India." The more meditative aspects of his work foreshadowed new age music, yet Fahey played with a fierce imagination and versatility that outshone any of the guitarists in that category. His idiosyncrasy may have limited him to a cult following, but it also ensured that his work continues to sound fresh.

The sessions which produced this album took place in Cascade Recording Studios, Portland, Oregon, during November and December, 1984, and February, 198S. This studio was at one time a small church with a tiny pulpit and choir area at the north end. Here, Mr. Fahey and Mr. Robb sat, facing the three omni-directional Telefun-ken 201 microphones which were especially modified by Eric von Helmholz. These microphones were hung so as to preserve the proper intimate atmosphere. Once the controls were adjusted to the delicate sound of the guitar(s), the microphones were never moved; optimum recording levels were set at the beginning of each session and never changed. These guitarists, Fahey and Robb, were the persons solely responsible for the musical flow of each perperformance. There is no limiting or compression on this recording.

V/A - Petals and Flowers... Petals and Flowers... Sorted Records 2003

This CD is made up of tracks which have
only previously appeared on 7" singles.
I still love the 7" single, but many foolish
souls have got rid of their turntables, so
this is for them. It was interesting going
back and listening to these tracks when
compiling the cd - you tend not to listen
to stuff you've released yourself - and I
was surprised at how much of it I thought
was really good. Locating the master
tapes was another matter though - the
earlier singles were all mastered on DAT
tapes, one of which snapped when I
played it, and another of which evaded
my search attempts. So can you tell
which two tracks were mastered from
the vinyl?
''Petals and Flowers" features such living legends as Alternative TV, Kevin Hewick, Alan Jenkins and the thurston lava tube(Deep Freeze Mice) John Sims, The Freed Unit, Discordia, Gonzo Salvage Company and Fish From Tahiti.The music sways from the strange avant-garage, quirky pop freakouts to very twisted psych folk-tronica.
A weird & wonderful collection of d-i-y nuggets from Sorted records.

Bachir Attar - The Next Dream. 1992

A native of the northern Moroccan foothills of the Rif Mountains, Attar was born to be a musician. Descended from a long line of government-sanctioned musicians, including the royal court musicians for seven kings prior to the occupation of Monocco by France and Spain, he began studying percussion at the age of four. Attar was still a youngster when the Master Musicians of Jajouka were recorded by the late Brian Jones, shortly before his death from drowning in 1969.

Inheriting the group's leadership from his father in 1982, Bachir Attar has guided the Master Musicians of Jajouka through one of their most fulfilling periods. Under Attar's direction, the group, which beat novelist William Burroughs called a "4,000 year old rock & roll band" and the "ancient founding family of trance," has collaborated with the Rolling Stones, Ornette Coleman, Maceo Parker,Elliot Sharp and the Soldier String Quartet, London Symphony Orchestra and Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo. Indian composer/DJ/ tabla player Talvin Singh produced the ensemble's 2000 album Searching for the Passions.
THE NEXT DREAM fuses the indigenous musics of Morocco, Senegal, and Middle Eastern lands into a sonic fabric as finely attuned as jazz. Produced by Bill Laswell, who brings a bit of urbanism and guttural ruggedness to the recordings. The album displays not only some splendid ensemble percussive work but further highlights Attar's command of the wind instrument called a ghaita, a lute-like instrument called the gimbri, the lira, and other sundry devices. Attar's remarkable dexterity and depth of emotion extends beyond the applications so exquisitely arranged.
