Living Gud, Eating Gud [prod. Joe Lalich]

Tracklist here: http://www.factmag.com/2014/09/08/fact-mix-459-craig-leon/

2014 has welcomed Kevin Saunderson and Damon Albarn to the FACT Mix controls – but the man behind mix 459 is arguably the most storied mixer of the year so far. 

Craig Leon’s CV as a producer is about as distinguished as they come; in fact, our 100 best albums of the 1970s list would look very different without him. The Florida native was a pivotal figure in the US punk and new wave scenes, manning the controls on early singles from the Ramones and Blondie. Production credits include Suicide’s game-changing 1977 debut LP, Richard Hell and the Voidoids’ Blank Generation, and Jeffrey Lee Pierce’s Flamingo.

He’s also forged an impressive, if lesser-known, career as a recording artist. His 1981 solo debut Nommos, a skittering collection of processed percussive tattoos and wonky electronics, is an out-and-out classic, and we duly ranked Superior Viaduct’s (unauthorized) edition as our favourite reissue of 2013. Other releases include 1982’s Waiting and a collaborative LP with Arthur Baker. His solo work’s been spotlit once again this year: a definitive new RVNG release, Interplanetary Folk Music Vol. 1, presents a spruced-up, alternative version of Nommos, painstakingly re-recorded from Leon’s original studio notes and bundled alongside a remastered version of Waiting.

Leon’s spent much of the last 25 years working on modern classical releases, and his FACT mix draws from that milieu, blending drone, gamelan, krautrock and microtonal work. It’s gorgeous, and features a sprinkling of unreleased works to boot. Bernard Parmegiani, Annette Peacock, Tony Conrad and George Gerschwin all feature.

FACT Mix 459 - Craig Leon (Sept '14)

Bassekou Kouyaté & Ngoni Ba: Ba Power
Release date: April 24th 2015
Glitterbeat Records
www.glitterbeat.com

Bassekou Kouyaté & Ngoni Ba’s fourth album Ba Power (and his first for Glitterbeat Records) is a striking, career defining record marked by mesmerizing songs, razor-sharp riffs and full-throttle emotions. Following two years of worldwide touring for the much heralded Jama Ko album, Bassekou’s band, Ngoni Ba, has turned up the volume and dynamics significantly and Bassekou’s masterful ngoni playing has achieved a new level of intensity that can only be called: afro-rock. Distortion and wah wah and propulsive rhythms are now the defining backbone of his songs and the heat lightning vocals of his wife Amy Sacko, more than ever serve as the passionate and perfect foil. This is not the same Ngoni Ba. This is indeed: Ba Power.

When asked what Ba Power means to him, Bassekou told us:
"Ba", in Bambara means "strong" or "great" and it also means "group.” I called the album Ba Power because I think the messages on it are very important and strong, and it is also definitely the album with the toughest sound I've ever made. I want these songs to grab as many people as possible.”

Without question Bassekou Kouyaté & Ngoni Ba has revolutionized the sound and narrative possibilities of the ngoni, the lute-like instrument that is essential to Mali’s Griot culture. Griots are esteemed musician/storytellers whose lineage stretches back centuries. Bassekou was born into this resonant tradition but his relationship to it has been anything but static. From the beginning of his career, through his invention of a previously unheard repertoire built around the melodies and rhythms of four interlocking (and at times electric) ngonis, Bassekou has demonstrated his respect for the past by radically pulling it into the future. 

Ba Power contains all the swagger, precision and wide-eyed excitement that the title implies. It is the album where Bassekou’s music engages with the world in ways he could have only imagined 10 years before. It is the album where he confirms his status amongst the 21st centuries most relevant musical artists.

I think African music and culture deserve to be spread to the broadest audience possible.
That is what I want to accomplish with Ba Power.
--Bassekou Kouyaté
