Everyone loves "Why can't we live together" by Timmy Thomas : how could one resist such a strong music vibe coming with a message more relevant today than ever! It has been covered by the most creative artists more than a few times... The Soul Sugar crew & Leonardo Carmichael make it their own with a sultry reggae groove. Jahno on drums and syndrums Thomas Naim on guitar and Guillaume "Gee" Metenier on keyboards and production duties are delivering the classic hit in all its majesty in the superior categories of both extended Discomix and Dub version under the spell of Dubmaster extraordinaire Dennis Bovell. What to say about the breathtaking interpretation of Leonardo Carmichael Growing up in Jamaica Leonardo learnt many a song from his father Glendon Joseph McFarlane who would sing to his mother Geraldine who sang in a choir. Leonardo grew up as a drummer and a singer in churches. Through a mutual friend he met Nastassja Hammond daughter of Beres Hammond with whom he started writing and releasing music for various artists including Courtney John and Kreesha Turner. He can still be found performing in the best venues & festivals in Jamaica. Leonardo has a wide appreciation for diverse genres but keep an International Reggae and Dancehall feel at the core of his music. It can be said Leonardo has faith & soul to the bone...

Emotional Response returns to the SchleiBen series, with another offering of 4 split albums. Again artists are given free reign, encouraged to push the boundaries of their studio and live experimentation in form and texture.

For parts 5 - 8 the net is cast wide, from the psychedelic moons of Tomaga to Matthewdavid's meditative live improvisation, a collection of A Man Called Adam's commissioned sound-works to Jon Keliehor's new age visions. 

First Tomaga, a duo that grew out of engine of psychedelic rock outfit, The Oscillation, to become a respected entity of it's own. Featuring long time friend of the label, Tom Relleen and drummer extraordinaire Valentine Ma, the project has grown to become greater than the sum of its parts. With 4 albums in 3 years and one more upcoming - plus their ridiculously overlooked solitary remix of Not Waving for the label - the output doesn't come close to matching their live "events", from almost constant touring. 

The 2 pieces were recorded in an improvised session as an interzone between their last album, which was recorded entirely in non-studio spaces and their newer material. Featuring heavily processed long form studio recordings, the pieces, with Tom's bass and audio manipulation set over Valentine's exemplarily, intricate percussive interplay, provide a perfect, brooding introduction to the second series of SchleiBen. 

This is contrasted with the first 'official' solo output of Neil Tolliday. As Nail, he has gained respect for over 25 years crafting deep, bumpin' House music on labels like DiY Discs, Remote and Classic, including the sought after Big D's Lounge album. After a sojourn as one of half of off-kilter pop duo, Bent, the Nail moniker has been recently resurrected for a new generation of followers. 

Throughout this time Neil has recorded more personal music, initially for his own consumption, however some recently starting surfacing under various pseudonyms via digital portals. No press, no information about who was really behind the music was given before being deleted soon after. After some encouragement, here then marks the first appearance of Neil Tolliday. 

On the two tracks included, these drawn out, eastern influenced, drone ragas are pure meditation from Tolliday's 4/4 output. With an upcoming album on Emotional Response, more is to come. 

A welcome return to SchleiBen then, due course to pause and reflect, emptying the moment to (un)listen.
