Es ist schwer, sich in einer Welt zurecht zu finden, in der die Bedeutungen geändert werden, sozusagen ein Umframen der Begriffe stattfindet. Die einen haben kaum Schmerz, diesen Wandel zu vollziehen, die anderen leiden unter Doppeldeutigkeiten oder den verkehrten Werten. Einer, der sich – nicht nur aus Verzweiflung, sondern ohnehin mit Lust an der Leichtigkeit – heute mit einer Portion Humor der verdrehten Welt annimmt, ist der Autor, Wildnispädagoge und Lehrer Gerald Ehegartner. Er verfasste den Text „Die Welt steht Kopf – unter der Flagge des Guten“. 

Sabrina Khalil hat ihn gelesen.

Die Welt steht Kopf ... unter der falschen Flagge des Guten

Greyscale's 29th full length release is here for you to soak up. 'Anchorage' is the name of personal journey of survival for the new to Greyscale artist 'Phases of Gravity'. An audio scrapbook or audible journal of a special challenging time that they recount where when this Hungarian artist conducts and orchestrates their 'rebirth'. The sounds are stripped down to their primal essence like you hear in the title track. 'Coast Lining' adds the uncertainty and drama that provides a tense soundtrack to the inner journey. There are plenty of atmospheric and odd sounds to get lost in along the way like in the unsettling but highly addictive broken sound of 'Inhabiting the Forest'. A track that seems to be out of key off kilter but uniquely ties to an ancient dub sound that is all too familiar for the old skool heads - roots dub. Many of the rhythms are heavily tribal like in 'The Variety of Experience'. Deeply organic and ancient, they strike a core with all of our past roots. Other tracks take on a heavy human emotion of life like in 'Thickness of Soil' which is one of our early favorite's here at Greyscale. The vibe is eerie and thick with drone undertones. Yet, a strange funk seeps out to lead the track out safely to a close. Late in the album, 'Pathfinder' seems to us, the turning point in the album where optimism has finally taken root in the struggle of life that the author produces. Building blocks have an industrial sound while the atmosphere fills up the soundscape like a breath of fresh air. The artist isn't fully out of the woods yet as 'Wind-bound' takes on a fight or flight motif leading to 'Flutter' which leaves you still uncertain of the future. Phases of Gravity presents a striking album of tracks here that support a real-life dramatic story. And it succeeds at it brilliantly. Available on CD or digitally.

Foli

Vieux Farka Touré's beautiful latest album was recorded as an homage to his homeland. Being that his native Mali has been splintered by territorial fighting between Tuareg and Islamic rebels since January 2012, his new album, Mon Pays, is devoted to reminding the world about the beauty and culture of his homeland.

‘For me it is a statement for the world that this land is for the sons and daughters of Mali, not for Al Qaeda or any militants. This land is for peace and beauty, rich culture and tolerance.This is our heritage, what we must always fight to protect in any way that we can. For me, that means making music that reminds the world of who we are.’

Translating as ‘My Nation,’ this predominantly acoustic undertaking had been planned before the invasions began. Inspired by his work with Israeli pianist and vocalist Idan Raichel, Touré initially went into a Bamako studio to honor the acoustic blues tradition of Northern and Southern Mali. Since that time, Mon Pays transformed into an artifact of cultural preservation.

Two songs on the project -Future’ and ‘Peace’ feature Sidiki Diabate’s kora leading an emotional charge complemented by Touré’s spectacular guitar work. Both tracks represent an important generational "passing of the torch" as Sidiki’s father, Toumani is considered one of the greatest living kora masters and was a close friend of Vieux’s father Ali. Their two records together, In the Heart of the Moon and Ali and Toumani, were awarded Grammies. At the 2011 ceremonies, Vieux accepted the prestigious award for his father, who had recently passed from bone cancer.

Mon Pays is the most mature and lovely record yet from one of this generation's most exciting artists to come out of Mali and one of world music's true rising stars.

Berlin Boom Orchestra steht für modernen, tanzbaren Reggae jenseits des gängigen Klischees vom tiefenentspannten Feel-Good-Gedudel. Direkt aus den dreckigen Clubs der Hauptstadt trifft Fickfinger-Attitüde auf Lovers Rock, Pro-Homo auf knallharten Dancehall und kritische Theorie auf urbane Bassmusik. Die neunköpfige Kapelle um den Sänger Filou überzeugt eine seit 2006 stetig wachsende Fanbase davon, dass Rub-A-Dub-Style auch einwandfrei auf Deutsch funktioniert.
Berlin Boom Orchestra klingt dabei wie… Berlin Boom Orchestra und das sollte man besser einfach gehört und gesehen haben.
