"Dasvidania" (До свидания) means "goodbye" in Russian, but it is also the title of a famous autobiographical novel by Nikolai Prestia, published in 2021 by Marsilio, which recounts the difficult childhood and experiences of a Russian orphan boy in post-Soviet institutions before being adopted and moving to Italy.

Meaning of the word

Do svidaniya (До свидания): This is a formal greeting in Russian, literally meaning "until we meet again."

About the record:

"It took a while before it was this. It was a place to find clothes made by people lost in a minefield of ideas who liked to party. It was a place for temporary visions that turned out to happen and were then forgotten. It was always a place to find a new circle of friends. A place for expression where the throttle had been loosened and we all careered into the next day and the day after that. We all need to meet in the flesh away from the pixels and connect our first thoughts. Somewhere to ruffle our own feathers and take off on a phantom flight. It has been all this and it still is. Only now there is a record label to try and actually document a little of all of that. Welcome to Sameheads. 

This record is a morsel from the community. Novo Line, Twoonky, Kruton, Kris Baha and Antoni Maiovvi and Balance Crew aka Dane Close & L. Zylberberg. Six acts whose sweat is in the carpet and who all owe more than seven euros to the place for one reason or another. Six songs that electrify a new way to no wave. Don’t forget, this a mince based dish. Enjoy."

Selva Discos returns to the LP reissue game with a bang – by giving a new life to the stunning and very sought-after Memória das Águas album by Fernando Falcão. Originally recorded in 1979 in Paris but only released independently in Brazil in 1981, the album comes complete with genre-hopping explorations that swirl around ambient soundscapes, lively jazz, experimental-leanings, Afro-rhythms and a unique blend of Latin grooves and French pop with a Brazilian accent, but it also comes with a story as deeply unique as the music.

To make a long story short, after participating in the political movements against the military regime in 1968 in Brazil, Fernando Falcão left the country and moved to France, where he lived in exile for 15 years. There, after working in music, acting, and sculpting, he involved himself in Jérôme Savary's legendary Grand Magic Circus, where he met his first wife, Valérie Kling. It was from this relationship that a partnership began between the musician and his father-in-law, the artist François-Xavier Lalanne, who guided Falcão in the process of inventing sound sculptures such as the balauê – a horizontal version of the berimbau string instrument whose sound was influenced by a water stream (since there was a hose soaking parts of the balauê wet during the performances). Much of this exploration and experimentation resulted in the album Memória das Águas.

The album still sounds like little else from the time. As audacious and experimental as it is seamlessly listenable, it takes in immersive textures one moment before breaking out into Fela Kuti-esque brass-soaked grooves the next. It’s ultimately a record that captures the spirit and rhythm of Falcão’s homeland combined with the lush production and art-pop approach associated with his exiled home; It’s a polished, well executed and glistening record. Its fusion of African, Brazilian, jazz, pop, classical and avant-garde collides to create a record that spans as many continents as it does genres.

Remastered from the original master tapes, not only the sound but the artwork of Memória das Águas was completely and faithfully restored. Also, the reissue comes with unprecedented liner notes featuring rare photos of the musician and his sound sculptures plus articles that help to explain who Fernando Falcão was and where Memória das Águas sits among other staples of Brazilian music, including one from DJ and selector John Gómez – who helped to connect Selva Discos' Augusto Olivani with Diana Lion, Fernando Falcão's daughter (since the musician died in 2002), for this project.
 
After Memória das Águas, Selva Discos will also reissue another long lost Fernando Falcão LP album – Barracas Barrocas.

Released on vinyl (and digital) on 16/08/2019. Distributed by Kompakt.

Very pleased to showcase yet another Glasgow-based act for our third Invisible Inc digital-only release.

This time it's French duo Double Discone who upped sticks from Clermont-Ferrand in late 2016 and landed in Glasgow on their feet running. They've got no less than 23 shows under their belt since their debut at an Invisible Inc night in May 2018, with of these performed 100% analogue and live!

For this release the duo have produced four extra-terrestrial synthesizer jams that head into slightly more experimental territory than the electro disco sound they are known for.

All tracks are recorded live with no editing using an incredibly limited set-up that the two can control using just 7 channels on their recording desk: 2 x drums, 3 x synths, 1 x reverb, 1 x delay.

The resultant sound is a vintage drum machine + retro-synth audio odyssey reminiscent of John Carpenter, Vangelis and other such pioneers of the '80s. Perhaps not entirely surprising, it reminds us most of their French compatriot: the singular Jean-Michel Jarre.

On the other hand the music is undeniably contemporary. Perhaps that's unavoidable when its two creators are both still in their early 20s? Similarities can be heard to Nico Motte, Etienne Jaumet and their peers over the Channel as well as Invisible Inc label mates Spacerocks and Tim Love Lee.

The EP opens with 'Espionage Industriel' which sounds like an imaginary theme tune for a 70s TV crime thriller gone wrong in which the detectives have been spiked with acid. 'Temps Modernes' is a look at the future from the past, a cult sci-fi film spinning out on the inside of the eyelids. The EP's titular 'Géant de Fer' sounds like a lost Patrick Cowley track created for one of the many gay porn soundtracks he recorded in the 80s. 'Retour de Chasse' winds things up very nicely; elements of Cluster, Harmonia, Tangerine Dream come to the surface.....the echoes of these ripple outward and dissipate. A perfect ending.
