Over several years, to 2019, I re-edited Keith LeBlanc's classic "Major Malfunction" album to make it "full length", according to an imaginary concept in my head.

The full story, in gory detail, is here: https://jrbinks.wordpress.com/2019/12/28/major-malfunction-reimagined/

This is the first time I have made this full length, 2hr 16m version publicly available.  A 2hr edit was featured On The Wire in October 2019: https://otwradio.blogspot.com/2019/10/playlist-26th-october-2019.html

What did Keith think of it?  Well I told him I was doing it, he showed some interested and thanked me for asking his permission, but didn't respond when I sent him the final versions and other commentary.  So I don't know ... and now I never will.

In memory of Keith LeBlanc.

Dit is GERRIT. Een serie met verhalen over het leven van Rietveld. Nederland is een openluchtmuseum voor zijn werk. Van bushokje tot zomerhuis. En van villa tot muziekschool. Het Rietveld-Schröderhuis in Utrecht staat net als de Big Ben en de Eiffeltoren op de UNESCO Werelderfgoedlijst en zijn bekende stoel is te zien in musea over heel de wereld.  
In deze driedelige-serie onderzoek ik wie hij was, wat hem tot een geweldig architect maakt en wat hij heeft achtergelaten. Aflevering 1: Het Rietveld Schröderhuis.

GERRIT is een initiatief van De stijl in de stad. 
Research, interviews en montage: Babette Rijkhoff.
Productie: Marije Lieuwens. 
Techniek: Arno Peeters.

Met veel dank aan het Centraal Museum in Utrecht. Wil je de locaties uit de podcast bezoeken kijk dan op destijlindestad.nl/gerrit  en de download de kaart.

Smoke and Glass by Alex Hass & Bill Laswell

www.alexhaas.com

The collaboration between musician/artist Alex Haas and bassist/producer Bill Laswell is an homage to the organized chaos and flux of their changing city. NYC has been their creative muse since the late 70’s when they met, working their way up in the music business and recording in studios such as Media Sound and Power Station. Their first session together, with Alex as assistant engineer and Bill producing, was for Bootsie Collins’ deep pocket dub funk - a precursor to the duos mutual styles and musical symbiosis.


Over the years, the two producers went on to work with a bucket list of whose who, including David Bowie, PIL, The Ramones, Prince, Brian Eno and MotorHead, assisting on Grammy winning sessions for U2’s “All That You Can Leave Behind” and Eric Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven.” While they worked diligently on crafting superb work for marquee acts, they also made time to hone in on their own serious yet approachable hybrid of Ambient Dub, World, Jazz and 90’s Trip Hop. “Nostalgia is in fashion at the moment, with a definite resurgence of interest in the 90’s,” Haas asserts. “I never stopped liking that era.”


Smoke and Glass is their sophomore release, following up 2018’s Nowstalgia. The majority of the new album was recorded at Treehouse Studios in Paris as well as all around NYC and in restaurants in Morocco and living rooms and kitchens in South East Asia. The recordings pull from a variety of musical influences, from Sly and Robbie to Miles Davis. But the dominating style is clearly the innovative British Trip Hop pioneered by bands like Massive Attack, who melded their influences into a distinctly urban vibe.
