Description: Taken from the triple double vinyl album 'sadly, the future is no longer what it was'.

This song got me through quarantine depression

out of everything you've put out there during the years thus has to be my favorite song. I don't know if you had a story with these 3 albums but still thank you for making them as beautiful as they are

news letter #801

'Watching Dead Empires in Decay’, an album recorded under another of Kirby’s pseudonyms ‘The Stranger’ and released on Modern Love, a label that has been close to Kirby through these last eventful 15 years. It’s a dream album for the label: perhaps the most ambitious of Kirby’s career so far. It’s complex, singular, enigmatic, percussive, dark, and you just can’t work out how it was constructed.

Gone are the sampled 78’s of The Caretaker, but it also doesn't exactly sound electronic - you just can’t quite fathom how any of it was put together: Field Recordings? Found Sounds? Sheets of metal scraped and hammered? Drum machines re-wired? It’s stark and unsettling, haunted, even troubling - but often just beautiful.

The Stranger - About To Enter A Strange New Period

The original ‘The Death Of Rave’ project releases in 2006 was vast, over two-hundred flashbacks, using all of the dance floor hits from the time and stripping them of energy and spirit, turning them into shadows and ghosts. The material pre-dates the recent obsession younger musicians have for re-creating remembered rave textures and memories. This was not nostalgia, It was an inverted paean to a time when the music was about bringing people together for a shared experience. A time when only the music, advancement of sound and getting on one mattered.

"MUSIC FOR MOVEMENT"
Music by ANGELO BARONCINI and BRUNO BATTISTI D'AMARIO
originally released on MONO in 1969 on RRC label
(P) 2017 SONOR MUSIC EDITIONS

Sonor Music Editions is thrilled to release another terrific jam and a very obscure Italian Library record originally released in 1969 on RRC label (Droga, Traffico, Viaggio Attraverso I Problemi Dell'Uomo series etc.). Music is signed by the great guitar players and composers Angelo Baroncini and Bruno Battisti D'Amario, unmissable guitar man of Maestro Ennio Morricone. CRAZY early Fuzz beats with fast Western swings, Experimental Rock distractions, musical rhythmic movements with totally insane acid guitar & sitar riffs and a huge Underground Psychedelic mood. A truly inspired and deep session recorded for some impossible TV synchronisation purpose. Holy grail alert and original sleazy STEREO recording restored sound.

"The true power of mood music is its endless possibility of interpreting scenarios through imagination and ideas. While it's important to stick to a formula, the message can be just as powerful (if not more) than when one breaks out of the norm and ventures down a completely different path. For musicians Alessandro Alessandroni & Giuliano Sorgini, Drammatico was one of those paths.
 
Drammatico was made in the early 1970s, under the noms de guerre, "Braen & Raskovich". What we have here is a complete concept album, conceived with the use of drums, percussion, and various modular synthesizers. Rumored to be recorded at Alessandroni's loft in Rome, the idiosyncrasies of Drammatico depict images of war, poverty, and human conflict. The music goes far beyond your average library record. Drammatico takes us through a world of chaos, mayhem, and explosive sound structures. Its enigmatic personality keeps the listener on the edge of their seat in suspense and disbelief, while still maintaining a constant theme of fear and revolt.
 
The album opens with "Incubo dal cielo" (a.k.a. "Nightmare in the Sky"). Immediately, we find ourselves in an inescapable war-zone being bombed incessantly by military aircraft. It seems to paint the image of various camp sites being uprooted with nowhere to run, hide, or take shelter. Shortly afterwards, destruction is followed by the moaning cries of those who are wounded from the military's aerial bombardment. There is also a strong undertow of sinister male breathing, followed by an insect-like noise that pierces through the back of one’s brain.
 
As the album continues, “Avanzata" is a reminder that the danger has just begun and one must continue listening in order to survive. The screeching synth and drums build up, taking us on a frantic and seemingly endless chase through the jungle. Multiple layers of dark colored synth are combined revealing images of rapid fire and semi-automatic soundscapes. "Ultimo istante" is another extremely creative theme with military drumming followed by an almost cruise ship-esque synth chord. A piercing whistle shortly follows showing signs of imminent danger and total distrust. The open space that's left between sequences is another characteristic of this album, and one that makes it so convincible. It allows the album to breathe and eventually take on a life of its own.
 
Drammatico was originally released as a micro pressing on Panda Records. It's not known how many copies were pressed, but surely less than 500. Thanks to Sonor Music Editions, Drammatico has been completely remastered from its original master tape and brought back to life. There's truly no recording like this in the field of library music. Drammatico stands in a league of its own, and is one of the purest forms of artistic expression from two of Rome's most prolific film music composers."

Optimo Music presents a new offshoot label, So Low, named after the night of the same name in Glasgow run by Becky Marshall, Iona Fortune, JD Twitch and Katie Shambles.

The inaugural release is from Glasgow’s much loved Happy Meals, a duo comprised of Suzanne Rodden and Lewis Cook and is their second album release after 2014’s acclaimed “Apero” on Glasgow’s Night School label.

Full Ashram is the name of Happy Meals’ recording studio. The Devotional Ceremony is Happy Meals connecting with their cosmic inner selves. They realise  their Full Ashram Devotional Ceremony on vinyl (and digital), banishing demons, devils and ill will. Devote your soul to the positive forces before the misguided, suffering spirits pull you down and wipe you out.

While the album is comprised of individual tracks segueing into each other, for full salvation it is recommended to be listened to as one continuous session.

Released on vinyl (and digital) on June 23rd 2017. Distributed by Kompakt.
