Zombie

Zombie (in the style of The Cranberries)

Mexican guitarist and ambient artist Eblen Macari's Música Para Planetarios (Music for Planetariums) was originally composed for weekly performances in the Luis Enrique Erro Planetarium in Mexico City to accompany a voyage through the galaxy. The album, released in 1987 was based around Macari's solo performances using Ensoniq ESQ-1, a Korg Poly 800, two guitars and pre-hispanic Ocarinas. The expanded arrangements recorded for the album include a full stable of pre-hispanic percussion and beautiful baroque harpsichord played by Macari's wife. This expansive interplanetary soliloquy is undoubtedly Macari’s masterpiece. Remastered from the original master tapes.

Release date: January 25th 2018

Shaped By What We Love - Threads Radio - November 2019

Two totally infectious sets from Decoy - the trio of John Edwards, Steve Noble and Alexander Hawkins - reunited with pocket trumpet and saxophone player Joe McPhee on the closing night of his four day residency at Cafe OTO.

In the eight years between the recordings which make up ‘AC/DC’ and their last release ‘Spontaneous Combustion’, Decoy and each of its members have been practicing individually at the very top of their form. Coming together again in such celebratory circumstances and in the good company of a fantastic crowd set the scene for a very special night. 

As they begin, Alexander Hawkins casts a needling surface between his Hammond organ and John Edwards’ loose splatters and slaps of low end bass. McPhee skitters over them with his pocket trumpet by way of introduction; Steve Noble strikes his rims in anticipation. The mood in the room is that of a rock band reformed, of a certain number of “boys” being “back in town”.

The first set sees moments of frenetic free jazz peel off into weirdo soul territory and when switched to saxophone halfway through, McPhee’s romantic lyricism is utterly beautiful. When a groove sets in, Hawkins’ B3 ascension in harmony with an ever powerful Edwards-Noble rhythm section sees the room thicken and swirl to the point of giddiness. There is one unreal part at 22:22 where we’re sure you can hear Edwards’ bass vocalising. 

Regrouped for a second set, Steve Noble’s metallic textures meld with detuned arco bass to create an unholy atmosphere, ripe for Hawkins to play out the eerier end of the Hammond. When McPhee sounds a sax motif the band catches it quickly and it’s soon wickedly morphed and stretched by each player, recurring to absurdity in a stoned out funk free for all. 

The whole recording bleeds enthusiasm and joyful imagination and is a brilliant document of an unforgettable evening. Decoy are a limitless band who play nowhere near enough. We cannot attest to them any more, Book them, buy this, go and see them if you can.

ROKU023 - Decoy with Joe McPhee "AC/DC" [sample]

In 2015, Androo and Baba had their debut release on Sparring Partners alongside Bony Fly. A year later, Stand High Records put out a 4 track project. Both records have been largely played in the soundsystem scene, but were also endorsed by eclectic house DJs. After 4 years without a new release, NS KROO open 2020 with their first EP. This time, NS KROO present 6 tracks that were made in 2015, with the cover painted by Androo himself. This is his dub project, and his artistic approach of always reconciling diverse influences and genres makes “Introduction“ a unique sonic and visual object. NS KROO describe their EP as a “minimalist and radical“ experience, in which a palette of sounds and textures gently collide. The project is pressed on a 12inch vinyl, and is limited to 300 copies.

Both sides are constructed in a similar way. They start with downtempo tracks, followed by one dub steppers, and finishing with the part 2 version. The opening track “Introduction“ sets the meditative and introspective tone of the EP, while “Rag Question“ dictates the importance of rhythmical features, drawing inspiration from dancehall. “Simmons“ is an anthem track that has been played all over Europe’s biggest soundsystem session. The lead brass-sounding synths, simple conga patterns and a deep bassline entering one minute into the song, give it its unique progressive character. With a nod to Howard Hawks’ movie, “Red River“ is a steppers dub track that is extremely efficient, even more so given its simplicity. The two impressive dub versions encapsulate the experimental aspect NS KROO give to their studio, which they see as an evolving laboratory. As some might have noted, all tracks are driven by a legendary “Rhythm Composer“ who does not have to be cited.
