A robot awakes from a long sleep. In the darkness, his eyes open and contemplate a savage, thick and lush nature. The android goes in search to browse the space around him. It seems there’s no sign of life, animal or human… He quickly figures out that he’s surrounded by rusty devices, damaged metal and large dusty gearwheels. Wandering the remnants from another time, our hero, is now a true little machinist. He tampers, tinks and fishes around the mecanisms surrounding him in order to inject a new energy, a second life. Gradually, everything is gearing up, lights blink, cogs work again. It’s relaunching, it’s working well again. An amusement park re-emerges now from oblivion and comes gradually back to reality. The carousels’ shade is dancing in the starry sky, the humanoid is browsing the park’s aisles and contemplates what’s once was a place where shouts and bursts of laughter were clashing. Very slowly, but undoubtedly, the robot wards off. He casts a last gaze at this so familiar and unusual place that evokes memories, like a retrieved imaginary world. Soothed, he vanishes away, in the shade, leaving the park operating, witness of a retrieved liberty.
Tour de Manège is proud to introduce the culmination of years of work, the conclusion of a story started in 2013. Through this project, and more specifically this vinyl, we’re closing, at least for now, the interlude of this 5 volume saga. After the genesis in volume 1, “Le Train Fantôme” in volume 2, the “Freak Circus” in volume 3 and “The Wizards” in volume 4, we introduce the conclusion of this saga with volume 5 : “The Machinists”. Thanks to every contributor to the vinyl, to the Tour de Manège project et, last but not least, to the community that followed us for all these years. More than a musical adventure, it was a human adventure that started 9 years a go and lasts ever since.

Tour De Manège is proud to present the culmination of long years of work and the conclusion of a story that began in 2013. More than a musical adventure, it is a human adventure that was repeated 9 years ago and that has persisted ever since.
Through this project and more particularly this vinyl, we close, at least for the moment, the parenthesis of this saga of 5 volumes. After the genesis of volume 1, "Le Train Fantôme" of volume 2, "Freak Circus" of volume 3 and "The Wizards" of volume 4, we present to you the conclusion of this epic, with volume 5 "The Machinist" .

To all crowdfunding contributors and to all those who have participated directly or indirectly in this project. Thank you to those who listen to us and to all those who one day or another, we have given strength.

***

I don't know what to do 
You're always on my mind 
I try to keep it cool 
But I feel smaller than a dime 
'Coz when I get out there in a world so unfair 
I don't know what to do 
You are the vicious kind 

I try to give you a clue 
But you don't believe 
And I'm trying to get through 
But you lie and deceive 
But I will show you how your bullshit won't stop me 
And I will give you a clue 
I will make you believe 

You may think I'm ambitious 
And that I don't know the world 
But little man you are vicious 
Around your finger I twirl 
And when you walk outside with your high fashion news 
You think you're so delicious 
You think that I'm just a girl 

So you're gonna watch me make it over 
That big, wide darkness you call life 
And I won't even take cover 
Because dull is your knife 
And when you come at me with your tender words, I swear 
You will never be my lover 
For the rest of this life 
For the rest of this life 
For the rest of this life

ENDLESS SUMMER VIBES # 18

'Bubble Bath' is the new album from @BlockheadNYC, out November 08, 2019 on @FutureArchiveRecordings.

_____________________________________________________________

Future Archive Recordings is extremely proud and excited to present new material from Blockhead. The internationally renowned NYC producer has released 10 albums over the past 15 years, including four acclaimed records for Ninja Tune and numerous production jobs including notable works with Aesop Rock. He is regarded as one of the modern masters of instrumental hip-hop, and the forthcoming new album sees him return to record-label-released music with the bold and exciting roster at Future Archive Recordings (co-founded by artists Arms and Sleepers, Sun Glitters, Little People and CNJR, and also co-run by Mark McGlinchey).

BUBBLE BATH is a record born out of meditative expression and ongoing personal creative challenge, key for a producer of Blockhead’s experience. Carried forward are the incredible hook and sample placement skills of classic works such as Uncle Tony’s Coloring Book and Music By Cavelight, but what has emerged is an overwhelming sense of natural musicality and sophistication.

“I want the music I make to be unaffected by outside influences. I like the idea of working in a bubble… When I have to describe what I do, to someone, it’s always a little awkward because it starts as “I’m a musician” and as questions come back it gets broken down. “No, I don’t play any instruments” “No, I’m not trained in musical theory” “I make beats”. When it comes down to it, everything I do has always been guided by my ears and sensibility.”

New LP opening track and lead single On The Bright Side is a stunning, woozy and dreamlike slab of instrumental hip-hop. This first song galvanises Blockhead’s ethos toward instrumental music: “The reason I never got into instrumental music is because I find it monotonous. My goal has been to avoid that. It’s hard to attach truly personal things to instrumental music because, generally, those feelings are expressed in words. So, I have to kinda put forth moods and leave the rest up to the listener.”

BUBBLE BATH is available now on Double Vinyl, CD, Cassette, and Digital formats as well as various Merch Bundles.
