Looking ahead. Changes are swirling around much like the winds here in Brooklyn. A sense of uncertainty is in the air and only time will tell all. Let the music be a companion against the cold and unknown.

Intro: Moon Juice

About the piece:
Mmmm-te is result of Collaboration between Amirali Ghasemi & Mohamad Golabi, where Amirali recites one of his poems and Mohammad has arranged and designed an audio environment in which the spoken words can be sensed in an ambiguous yet familiar way.
The experimental poem juxtaposed various vocabulary from a wide range of disciplines and this is what is happening with the Mohamad’s layered soundscape. 


درباره‌ی اثر:
مممم - تِ حاصل همکاری امیرعلی قاسمی و محمد گلابی است، جایی که دکلمه‌ی امیرعلی از شعر خودش با تنظیمات و طراحی های محمد در هم می‌آمیزد تا کلمات ادا شده در بستری مبهم و در عین حال آشنا کنار هم چیده شوند. شعر تجربی که دستمایه‌ی این اثر شده واژگانی از عرصه‌های مختلف را بر هم می‌نشاند چنانچه منظره‌ی صوتی لایه‌لایه‌ای که محمد گلابی ترسیم می‌کند، این واقعه قابل ردیابی است.

The story of Canned Heat is oe of imperishable music, of zeitgeist-capturing hit singles and albums and of glorious performances at epochal events like the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and the 1969 Woodstock Festival and at legendary venues like San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium.

And most of all, perhaps, the story of Canned Heat is one of triumphant perseverance for through all their successes and disasters the band have retained their musical integrity and commitment to playing the blues and they remain admired and active to the present day.

Formed in LA, by 1967 the classic lineup of Bob Hite (vocals), Alan Wilson (harmonica, guitar, vocals), Henry Vestine (guitar), Larry Taylor (bass) and Fito de la Parra (drums) was in place and thrilling the hippie audiences of the day. The following year the band became international hitmakers with ‘On The Road Again’, a song based on Floyd Jones’s 1953 song of the same name. The record was a desolate, unsettling masterpiece about loss and abandonment on which Wilson’s spectral, Skip James-influenced vocals were chilling and bleakly hypnotic.

In 1968 also ‘Going Up The Country’, again sung by Wilson and derived from Henry Thomas’s 1928 record ‘Bull Doze Blues’, was another worldwide hit. The song of course was memorably played during the opening scene of Woodstock, the film of the Woodstock Festival, its theme of escaping to a rural idyll perfectly apposite. 

The band’s third great hit single was 1970’s ‘Let’s Work Together’. The song had been written by r’n’b singer Wilbert Harrison in 1962 as ‘Let’s Stick Together’, about a romantic relationship. Harrison revamped the song in 1970 as ‘Let’s Work Together’, with a more universal message and it was this version that Canned Heat, with Bob Hite singing, turned into a hippie anthem.

By the time of the band’s 1998 Rockpalast gig Fito de la Parra and Larry Taylor, who had formerly played bass but was now on guitar, had been joined by singer-slide guitarist Robert Lucas and bassist Greg Kage.

During their performance the band play many of their most loved songs including ‘On The Road Again’ on which de la Parra attempts to replicate Wilson’s extraordinary, spooky vocals while the band recreate something of the mesmerising magic of the hit record. 

De la Parra also channels his inner Alan Wilson on ‘Going Up The Country’. “We’re going to take you to Woodstock,” he announces before the song, an irresistible invitation for those in the audience and indeed for those of us listening now, over twenty years later.

New frontman Lucas, a powerful, declamatory vocalist, sings lead on ‘Let’s Work Together’ and also on songs like William Harris’s ‘Bullfrog Blues’, ‘Amphetamine Annie’, a cautionary tale of excessive drug use originally recorded on 1968’s Boogie With Canned Heat (if only the band had heeded their own warning!) and his own songs ‘See These Tears’ and ‘Iron Horse’. 

Throughout, Lucas’s slide and Taylor’s lead guitar are subtle and swinging and the whole band play with an utterly convincing blues feel. 

Since then the band’s personnel has continued to evolve (Lucas left in 2000, sadly dying from a drug overdose in 2008, aged forty six) and by now over fifty musicians have been Canned Heat members. But in 2019 Larry Taylor became another of the band’s classic lineup to die, passing away, aged seventy seven, from cancer.

Fito de le Parra is thus Canned Heat’s only survivor from the 60s but although the band have regularly been booked for events like The Flower Power Cruise and Woodstock reunions they transcend the era in which they made their name. As the Rockpalast gig proved in 1998 and every gig since has re-emphasised, Canned Heat have never been a mere nostalgia act. Instead they have always been a blues band of compelling potency whose mastery of the idiom has now been delighting audiences for over fifty eventful years – with no end yet in sight!

New project by ex-Tangerine Dream member Johannes Schmoelling and sound design luminary Kurt Ader!
With their second album "Hydragate" S.A.W. manage to deliver a mixture of ambient, electronica and cinematic sound collages. On the 10-track album the four musicians are crossing different emotional energies from epic power to lightness.
On "Surface illusions" and "Hydragate" you can hear composed melody lines as you already knew them from Johannes Schmoelling from his time with German electronic-rock legends Tangerine Dream. In "Whispering colours" you can feel and hear the dexterity to program sequences that can take you into a separate trance-like world as well. On "Sphere" one discovers a filigree sound design - no wonder, because band member Kurt Ader is not only a composer, but also a sound designer for various leading synthesizer manufacturers and programs sounds for well-known bands and artists such as Nightwish, Dream Theater or Michael Cretu. "Inside Out" impresses with the use of alienated ethnic sounds and on "Master of time" the lsitener can hear reminiscences of the electronic music of the 1970-ies as they meet the dark ambient sound of the present time.
Also very rhythmic tracks are not missing on the new S.A.W. album, as can be heard for example on "Distant Memories" and "Stop And Go". The album "Hydragate" was developed and recorded in various studios in Munich, Berlin, Mannheim and Hitzacker, using various samples, analog drum machines, modular and digital synthesizers.

PREMIERE | S.A.W. - Stop And Go [MIG music] 2023

Founded by Frank Bornemann at the end of the 1960s, ELOY has released a total of 20 studio albums. Their breakthrough came in the mid-seventies, mostly with spectacular concept albums, which sold more and more worldwide. The breakthrough for ELOY came in the mid-seventies, mostly with spectacular concept albums that were sold worldwide, increasingly. This was not only rewarded with numerous high chart positions in Germany, honored with many awards but also brought Eloy a lot of international attention and a considerable fan base, which still exists and is constantly growing.

When a fan club recently came up with the idea of bundling their own favorites from the band's extensive repertoire and producing their own compilations, we had the idea of offering this officially and releasing ELOY’s highlights from different eras of the band's history on CD. We had Frank Bornemann and sound engineer Benjamin Schäfer edit the sound in such a way that they fit together perfectly and offer the listener a very individual listening experience. This is how "Hidden Treasures" came into being, offering ELOY fans a sound and song combination that has never been heard before.

Powerful. Timeless. Magical.
There are only a few German rock bands that deserve the title legendary, and EPITAPH is one of them. 
Founded in 1969, the band wrote music history in the 1970s. EPITAPH was the first german rock band to tour the USA (several times), producing their legendary 1974 Outside The Law in Chicago.
After TV appearances on the top German musicshows Beat Club and Rockpalast,  EPITAPH was soon a household name. Tours with Joe Cocker, RoryGallagher, Golden Earring and ZZ-Top, and numerous festival appearances made EPITAPH one of the most popular German cult rock bands.Over the last 50 years, the band has released 16 studio and live albums. And if you add the digital re-releases, that’s a total of 21 albums.
The brand new rock album Long Ago Tomorrow will be released in April 2019. EPITAPH starts celebrating their 50th anniversary.with an amazing album including catchy rock songs as well as powerful ballads.

Diary Theme

Als die Rock-Musik auf dem europäischen Kontinent laufen lernte, waren Autor Beat Hirt und Musiker Tommy Fortmann vorne dabei. Hirt als Ideengeber und Mitbegründer der Jugendzeitschrift „Pop“ (später „Pop/Rocky“) während Fortmann der Zeit mit seiner Kult-Band Demon Thor musikalisch vorauseilte. Den beiden Schweizern gelang es, für ihr ambitioniertes Musical-Projekt „Tell“ Alexis Korner zu begeistern. Er war das Urgestein des englischen Rhythm’n’Blues. Auch Udo Lindenberg signalisierte „alles klar!“ und stieg an Bord. Die Aufnahme-Sessions fanden im Frühjahr 1977 statt. Weitere Gesangsparts übernahmen u.a. die Sängerin Jack Carter, Romy Haag sowie Schlagerstar und Teenie-Idol Jürgen Drews.

Auch die mitwirkenden Sessionmusiker kamen aus der ersten Reihe deutsch/schweizerischer Rockprovenienz: Armand Volker (später Produzent und Arrangeur von der Münchener Freiheit, Spider Murphy Gang, Johnny Logan, Nena u.v.a.) spielte Gitarre und Bass, ebenso Frank Diez (Atlantis, Peter Maffay, Eric Burden u.a.). Zusätzliche Gitarrenoverdubs kamen von Uli Jon Roth (Scorpions), am Schlagzeug saß der begnadete Curt Cress (Klaus Doldingers Passport, Atlantis, Snowball), die Keyboards steuerten Philippe Kienholz von der Schweizer Classic-Rock Band Tea sowie Kristian Schultze (Klaus Doldingers Passport, Niagara, Snowball) bei.

„Tell!“ gab es seinerzeit nicht nur auf Vinyl, sondern war auch ein Bühnen-Projekt. Finanziert wurde die Produktion durch die „Tell Musical AG“, die eigens dafür gegründet wurde. Zu deren Aktionären gehörten u.a. Freddy Burger, Jürg Marquard und Udo Jürgens. Die „Tell!“-Uraufführung fand am 31. Juli 1977 in Zürich statt. Der Schweizer Presse war das Vorhaben jedoch nicht geheuer. Sie verriss fast kollektiv die Bühnenversion. In der deutschen Presse beurteilten die Kritiker das Musical etwas anders: „Wilhelm Tell, der in Jeans auftritt, es mit der schönen Stauffacherin treibt und mit den Eidgenossen auf dem Rütli Krach kriegt, ist als herrlicher Ulk angekommen.“ (Hamburger Abendblatt, 3.8.1977) „Die salopp-schnodderige Tell-Entstaubung will eine Attacke auf den historisch-heroischen Tiefgang sein.“ (Münchner Merkur, 4.8.1977) „Fortmanns Musik, zwischen Neil Diamond und Zarathustra, Soul-Elementen und Rock-Rhythmen, ist intelligent komponiert und anspruchsvoll. Sie kommt an.“ (Die Welt, 3.8.1977) „Die Choreografie riss das Publikum förmlich von den Stühlen. Der Discotheken-Sound fetzte durch den Holzbau.“ (Kieler Nachrichten, 6.8.1977)
Wie oft jedoch das Musical aufgeführt wurde, ist nicht mehr nachvollziehbar.

Das Musical „Tell!“ nach Friedrich von Schillers gleichnamigen Drama über den Schweizer Nationalhelden ist ein Stück Zeitgeschichte und eine musikalische  Zeitreise zurück in die 1970-er Jahre zugleich, von durchaus hohem Unterhaltungs- und Erinnerungswert, irgendwo zwischen Rock,  Schlager und dem Munich Disco Sound.
