This is a 4:22 edit of the 12:08 track from the 1984 album with the same title.

My brother and I visited Klaus Schulze, staying at his home studio in Germany, in the wizard's workshop in the woods in winter. The walls were lined with patch-cabled analog synths. It was kind of magical trying to draw out from him our favorite kinds of Klaus spaces.  

Back in NYC (where we were both living at the time) I wrote the TSB parts over a long spacey track called "Communiqué". I was kind of shocked that it had those parts in it, waiting to be found! Then in a NYC studio Mike and Will Lee locked in the groove, Hiram Bullock added a smooth chord part, and I played all the guitar melodies and overlaid the Wurly piano and some synth counter-melodies.

I'll always remember sitting right next to Will Lee while he laid down that groove with Mike, and the intensity of their concentration. It was deep, like a force field!

A while later, back in San Francisco at Stephen Hill's Hearts of Space studio, we rearranged TSB, cutting up the tape and moving the sections around. (no ProTools then!) Mike recently created this edit.

Beautiful, complex ambient, performed live at our fundraiser for Salon Des Amateurs. Recorded on May 20th, just before the release of Passive Aggressive, his collaborative album with Suzanne Kraft. Check out the RA Review here: https://www.residentadvisor.net/reviews/20642

RA Live: 20.05.17 - Jonny Nash, Salon Des Amateurs, Dusseldorf

In contrast to his quiet demeanour, Jonny 5's musical exploits are bold, unconventional and brimming with playful eccentricities. While occasionally indulging a fondness for dub, this mix follows in a similar vein to the Blindsign shows on I-F's Intergalactic FM. As expected, there's no shortage of strange and evocative music as Jonny masterfully traverses genres. Preferring to remain in the moment, beat-matching was sacrificed for selection, covering many bases over the 75 minute duration. Of course there are the Neue Deutsche Welle, post-punk and cosmic sounds we've grown accustomed to, with Jonny throwing in a couple of edits he's still working on for good measure.

If-Only Podcast #15: Jonny 5

The Field Work Tumblr feed is a miscellany of outlandish visuals, most recently taking a satirical turn, posting GIFs of Donald Trump and Bill Gates and videos of London stock brokers and an aggressively confident motivational speaker titled "Stop Selling Start Closing". Occurring monthly, their NTS show is equally offbeat – scroll through the archived recordings and you'll see the South London-based foursome have a taste for the peculiar, incorporating genres like spoken word, ambient and kosmische into their broadcasts. Regularly tuning in to see what the FW gang have in store, it was only a matter of time before we got them on board for a mix.

If-Only Podcast #16: Field Work

Khaliphonic’s eighth release is an absolutely unique seven track full length LP of beautifully focused outer dubwise excursions by some of our favorite artists.  “Sounds From The Well: Collection 1” hauls in a net of captivating left-of-center sound system music rooted in or in some way influenced by the music of the Mediterranean or the Maghreb, the Near East or North Africa.  An immersive journey from start to finish, this is one for the headphones as well as the sound system.   

Gulls & XJ mangle gasbah flute-heavy rai vibes for a journey into trance-inducing Algerian funk. 

Dubmonger & LXC build a sparkling, crunching, head-nodding beast that marries boom bap and Arabesque keyboard meanderings.  

Sonza’s abstract chamber jazz builds from ambient abstraction to a mesmerizing, plaintive, percussion heavy masterwork of Anatolian dub vibes.

Alter Echo & E3 indulge their love of psychedelic dubwise with a riddim indebted to the reggada of Morocco,   that sounds like nothing if not a night journey through a desert by moonlight.

The increasingly elusive El Mahdy Jr graces us with a gorgeous track of rhythmic complexity and emotional weight. 

The album is bookended by two early, unreleased string quartet & percussion recordings by the legendary Badawi, lush and ominous, recently transferred from their 20th Century tape masters.

Available worldwide mid-August.  Limited to 500 copies, vinyl LP only, no digital, no repress.  Art & design by Polygon Press.  Mastered by Lewis at Stardelta.
