MIND CONTROL AND THE MK ULTRRA EXPERIENCE

Mind Control är den hemliga luckan i Nordic Soul Syndicates arkiv – mappen som ingen skulle öppna, men som ändå läckte. Här samlas överblivna skisser, bortglömda grooves, råa demotagningar och olydiga funk-experiment som aldrig tänktes bli släppta. Allt det där som skapades mellan tagningarna, under sena nätter, vid trasiga kablar och med för mycket bas i rummet.

Detta är albumet där fantasin gått före ordning. Där idéer som “bara skulle testas” utvecklades till fulla låtar, där jamsessionerna blev för bra för att slängas, och där den nordiska själen krockar med kosmisk funk, humor och ren experimentlust.

Från snubblande demogroove till slipad instrumental fusion – Mind Control är inte inspelad för att imponera, utan för att överleva. Det är NSS bakom kulisserna: ofiltrerat, oberäkneligt och 100% vibe.

Det här är plattan du inte skulle höra.
Nu är det för sent – den tar över dig ändå.

Grooven du inte kan värja dig mot.

Ahmed Fakroun
Mots D'Amour
The Arab world back in the 70s and 80s gave us quite a few very interesting rock and pop acts. Ahmed Fakroun from Libya was THE one of them.
Here we have his 1983 album whose title means "Love Words" in English. And in fact his kind of ethno pop seems to go deeper than just to the charts where a song like "Soleil! Soleil!" - a typical yet outstanding synthie pop / new wave anthem that would have gone well with David Bowie or Duran Duran in the early 80s - definitely would have belonged. Other tunes are more Oriental with great string arrangements and those mystical melodies only Arab and Oriental music provides. It goes forth and back with these elements. "Mots d'amour" is a rather colorful affair, when it comes to 80s pop music and within the fine arrangements you will find a lot of solid handcraft from the instrumental section. Whoever worked with Ahmed Fakroun in the studio during the album production shall be praised and blessed for his talent as well. All in all this is one of the lost gems of 80s pop music which fetches prices up to 500,00 Euros for a nearly mint copy today. So fans of cool 80s pop with a memorable edge are now able to grab a copy of this forgotten jewel. Compared to many European releases from that year, "Mots d'Amour" can easily match up with all of them and has several outstanding evergreens on board. The sound is perfect for the time as well. So grab a copy of the reissue and make your dance party go crazy with this fascinating guy from Libya. Watch out for more fantastic releases of Ahmed Fakroun, published and distributed by PMG!

“Su Akyol’s voice is light but elegant, and her songs are by turns urgent, sultry and romantic and politically barbed. The new sound of Istanbul.”
--The Observer

With the release of her first international album “Hologram Ĭmparatorluğu” (2016), Gaye Su Akyol established herself as one of Turkey’s most compelling young voices and most exhilarating sonic explorers. Her work as a singer-songwriter, producer and audio/visual conceptualist, simultaneously navigates the storied past, the hyper-connected present and the unscripted future.

Growing up in cosmopolitan Istanbul listening to Anatolian music icon Selda Bağcan and Kurt Cobain in equal measure, Akyol skipped right over the tired Oriental/Occidental paradigmatic clichés. Gaye’s music was global in concept and local in spirit and nuance right from the very beginning.

Following the widespread critical acclaim for “Hologram Ĭmparatorluğu,” Gaye and her sublime band spent 18 months travelling up and down Turkey, Europe and the Middle and Far East sharing with audiences a vibrant mix of raki laced traditional balladry, futurist surf and post-punk opposition. The new album "Istikrarlı Hayal Hakikattir," produced by her and guitarist Ali GüçlüŞimşek, is arguably more immediate and visceral than the first two, reflecting her and the band’s growing reputation as a powerful live act.

“Istikrarlı Hayal Hakikattir,” which translates as “Consistent Fantasy is Reality,” is a deeply poetic album; an album of personalized politics, an album that digs into the heart our contentious, inexplicable contemporary experience. Never blinking. Always dreaming. Never giving in. Never giving up.

Play that song, play the vinyl, Let the storm turn around.

Istikrarli Hayal Hakikattir

Gaye Su Akyol - Istikrarli Hayal Hakikattir

At the vanguard of progressive world music, Toronto’s Minor Empire takes the listener on a voyage of imagination. As the shamanic focus of the band, vocalist / composer Ozgu Ozman reaches across the geography of her homeland, selecting techniques of expression from the vast vocabularies of the Balkan, Black Sea and other variegated Turkish cultures, and intuiting those which will translate traditional tropes into the vivid colours.

Variously described by reviewers as “trippy”, “dreamy”, “cinematic”, “stylishly hip” and “deeply exotic”, Minor Empire was recently nominated for Independent Music Awards in World Beat and World Music Producer categories for their recent release Uprooted. 

Always fearlessly rising, Uprooted, provides lush musical scenery and never succumbs to the perils of disaster and despair and doubt which plague those who remain rooted in the temporal plane, but persist towards another world that holds the promise of true soul nourishment, and a new home for hungry roots. 

Award winning band will be touring Turkey, Quebec, Ontario and the US in support of their new record.
