April 2022 Discoveries.

Many people simply want to hear and enjoy some great new music without having to waste time searching for hours. These Musical Discoveries collections aim to fulfil those needs. At least, we hope so! :)

This playlist is a compilation of the favourite musical discoveries of the Wud Records team from everything they heard at SoundCloud during April 2022.

Tracks have been arranged according to the number of plays at the precise moment of publishing, starting with the fewest. Tracks that are early in playlists tend to receive more plays than later tracks, and we feel that the ones with fewer plays need the best chance of exposure.

This playlist is extremely eclectic, so if the track you are playing isn't quite doing it for you, try the next one. It will probably be completely different.

If you enjoyed listening to something here, please give it a like and a repost. Follow the artist. Give them a shoutout on social media. Check out some of their other tracks. Buy something from them and your support will help them to keep going. Doing any of this will help raise their profile. At the very least you might make their day. :)

Sharing is very, very important !!

Sharing is a massive help for independent artists. They don’t have big corporations and mainstream media saturating every channel with their product. Every independent share counts.

Giving something a ‘like’ is nice, but sharing exposes the artist to your followers. This means that anybody in your community can see and click on what you shared. They can potentially enjoy it as well. It enables somebody new to discover the artist and become their newest fan. You create the chance for that to happen.

If you happen to be on this playlist, please share, and give us a shoutout on your social media feeds - because if we spot it, it gives us another opportunity to repost you and big you up. Please listen to as many tracks by the other great bands as you can, and... enjoy!

April 2022 Discoveries

THE DAY OF THE GREEN EARTH - IMPROMPTU

As the title suggests, I made this piece to commemorate World Earth Day. And this piece is largely improvised, so I found Impromptu a fitting description. The accompanying guitar is playing parts that have been in my head for some time now, the lead guitar responds to them spontaneously. 

I filmed myself live while recording this track, you can see it here: https://youtu.be/eK4Z6XMy2xs

As always I really enjoy your likes, shares and comments!

Different Drum by Lucky Spider

In the darkness, I still see you
Senses sharpened, I can feel you close
But I think you might be better off if I just eased up; you’ve had enough
Of this catch and release, whoa

My pulse is racing, heart is thumping in my chest
And I’m debased but jumping headlong in this mess
But I think you might be better off if I slunk away into the night
Accepted defeat

And I don’t know what to do 
Can’t keep these instincts at bay
But my hounded love for you has turned a hunter into prey

 
Want, then rue ooh, ooh 
Don’t crawl inside my heart, I don’t have any room for you
Want, then rue ooh, ooh 
I’m only stalking you so you can spill my blood 
I am the rougarou


In the dark you cut a figure
Your scent grows weaker and your shadow grows bigger
And for one year and one day I’ve followed, wincing at the pain I’ve swallowed
To stay on your heels

And I don’t know what to do 
I just can’t keep away
But my hopeless love for for you has put my hunger on display

Want, then rue ooh, ooh 
Don’t crawl inside my heart, I don’t have any room for you.
Want, then rue ooh, ooh 
But I’m only stalking you so I can devour  you: I am the rougarou


(guitar solo / musical interlude)


And I don’t know what to do
I just don’t know myself
My only hope for you is that you love somebody else
Want, then rue ooh, ooh 
Don’t crawl inside my heart, I don’t have any room for you 
Want, then rue ooh, ooh 
But I’m only stalking you so you’ll be just like me 
I am the rougarou
Rue ooh, ooh
But I’m only stalking you so I can devour you
I am the rougarou
Rue ooh, ooh
Rue ooh, ooh

CLOSURE  Lillithe & Paploviante

Since a few years, a part of my active musical composition is about the great victorian poet Christina Rossetti. I've composed songs for a few poems that were inspiring me.

"My Heart" is one of them.

My Heart

Morceau style on va dire " fusion ".Le solo de synthetiseur est de Andresamboni,musicien du site Fiverr.
La basse est de Laurent Porte,un ami musicien des années 80.
Bonne écoute.
Amitiés musicales.
piece style we will say "fusion". The synthesizer solo is by Andresamboni, musician from the site Fiverr,bass Laurent Porte.
Good listening.

This is about wanting to write a song that really is important and means something but ending up with passable cheese. By the way, "Passable Cheese" is the only kind that I will eat. Does anyone here remember laughter?

Another Long Dumb Sweet Love Song

The second LP release on Leng Records is the fourth from German band Mountaineer. Joining Leng label mates such as Cantoma (Phil Mison), Ray Mang, Idjut Boys, Lexx and Mudd on ‘The Real McQueen’ they deliver a subtle blend of summer pop and bossa-folk which comes across like some kind of Brazillian country lounge cocktail bar. 

Mountaineer started out life as the project of German singer/songwriter and Hamburg-based Henning Wandhoff. His debut album ‘Sunny Day’ saw a limited release but the restrictions of solo recording didn’t provide the creativity he desired and he was soon looking for other musicians to collaborate with. A few years and a number of band member changes later he found his perfect writing and recording partner, Frank Mollena. They are both multi-instrumentalists with Henning playing acoustic guitar, drums, congas, percussion and providing the vocals on ‘The Real McQueen’ and Frank playing bass, keyboards, electric guitar and programming the drum machines. The bands recording line up was completed by Alexander Rischer and they set out to rejuvenate their collective love of the classic LPs from the late 60s and 70s.

Starting with the rolling, gentle breeze of ‘Always Coming Home’, Mountaineer effortlessly mix latino rhythms with subtle pop melodies as main composers Henning Wandhoff and Frank Mollena are accompanied by fellow band mates Alexander Rischer (electric guitar) and Anna Bertermann (vocals) plus Christian Ebert on omnichord.

Next we have the album’s title track with the more uptempo pop vibe of ‘The Real McQueen’ providing a very radio friendly chorus and harmony whilst ‘Come Alena’ sounds like Prefab Sprout chilling on a desert island hammock and ‘Circlemakers’ is pure sunshine filled, laidback bliss – perfect for those lazy, hot summer days. 

‘Gush it Gosie’ provides an instrumental interlude that lets the pedal steel guitar of Oliver Stangl shine through and ‘White (I’m Clouds)’ sees further collaboration, this time from Patrick Gobel on drums as the track rides off on a sea of Wurlitzer style organ.

Another instrumental interlude is provided by ‘Always Coming Home (Theme)’ before ‘Golden Chalk’ fills the premise of the three-minute pop song perfectly. ‘Limbo’ slides along on the back of some wonderful backing vocal harmonising whilst ‘Blown Away’ sees Patrick Gobel return on drums giving the track a classic bossnova backing. 

Finally ‘When We Love Life’ sees Anna and Henning’s voices sparring in beautiful, poetic motion as the pedal steel guitar adds extra intonation and feeling before ‘Always Coming Home’ makes a final reprise to close the bands second long-playing chapter.

The girl-boy vocals work like a charm over a fantastic band, with stunning lap steel work, easy drums and a whole host of other instruments making for a complex yet easy listening vibe. All twelve tracks leave their mark, yet come together beautifully as a whole. It's no surprise that Leng would choose artists that suit their sunshine roster and this album is the sound of the first morning you unzip your jacket on the walk to work.

Birdy - 1901

Order: https://lengrecords.bandcamp.com/album/out-of-the-blue-compiled-by-phil-mison

Over the years, Phil Mison has become the go-to selector for those looking for Ibiza-themed compilations. None of his previous collections, though, have been quite as personal as Out Of The Blue, a compilation inspired by his first spell behind the decks at the Café Del Mar in 1993 – and the remarkable chain of events leading up to it. 

Mison made his first trip to Ibiza in the summer of 1991 and quickly fell in love with the magical music being played by Café Del Mar resident DJ, Jose Padilla. On his return to the UK, Mison began to cultivate his own take on the laidback, open-minded style, recording mix-tapes of “Ibiza style chill out” tunes to give to friends. 

In November 1992, Mison was hanging out in Tag Records, Soho, when Padilla walked in. He plucked up the courage to speak to the Spaniard because earlier that summer Mison had given one of his friends some tapes to take out to Jose in Ibiza so he wanted to see if he had got them. During the conversation Mison invited him down to his next DJ set at Nicky Holloway’s club, the Milk Bar and less than three months later, and clearly impressed by what he’d heard on the tapes, Padilla invited Mison to fill in for him at the Café Del Mar, beginning in April ’93.

It’s that first trip to DJ in Ibiza – a crazy six-weeks spent dividing his time between spinning records at Café Del Mar, hanging out in Jose Padilla’s house in the hills, and meeting some particularly eccentric White Isle residents – that proved the inspiration for Out Of The Blue.

The compilation contains a mixture of records that Mison played in his earliest Ibiza sets, those that remind him of that period, and recent discoveries that boast a similarly warm, loved-up vibe. Mison is at pains to point out that it’s not a track-for-track representation of his first sets, but rather a collection inspired by this most momentous of experiences.

As you’d expect from a selector of Phil Mison’s standing, Out Of The Blue is an outstanding collection.  Some will no doubt hear the influence of his mentor – the man he credits with effectively turning his DJing career around – in the undulating rhythms and new age melodies of Kamasutra’s “Sugar Step”, the meandering synthesizer solos and Spanish language vocals of Congarilla’s sublime “Sacred Tree”, and the lilting flamenco guitars of “Gambarra”, an unreleased mix from Mison’s popular Cantoma project.

Elsewhere, listeners can marvel at the starry ambient bliss of Belgian legend Frank De Wulf’s “The End”, recline to the saucer-eyed fusion jazz of the Christoph Spendel Group, shuffle along to tactile, hard-to-find period deep house from Language, Moodswings and Don Carlos, and marvel at The Cactus Rose Project’s ridiculously rare “Jelly”, a sparkling, disco-era jazz-rock outing partly inspired by the Doobie Brothers’ “Long Train Running”. 

Out Of The Blue may well be a very personal selection of tracks celebrating a moment in time, but it’s happily one that we can all enjoy.

What A Wonderful World

I see trees of green, red roses too 
I see them bloom for me and you 
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world 

I see skies of blue and clouds of white 
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night 
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world 

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky 
Are also on the faces of people going by 
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin', "How do you do?" 
They're really sayin', "I love you" 

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow 
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know 
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world 
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world 

I see trees of green, red roses too 
I see them bloom for me and you 
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

"Can't Help Falling In Love"

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand,
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand,
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

What A Wonderful World x Can't Help Falling In Love (mashup Cover) Reneé Dominique

Jason Mraz - I Wont Give Up

Evocadora canción para todos los públicos, algo más rápida y elaborada que la versión de las Piano Sessions.

Evocative song for everyone, a little faster and more elaborated than the Piano Sessions' version: https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/el-rio-piano-version

Lyrics/Letra:

Nunca pude destapar un río
para ver lo que tenía dentro
de su cuerpo húmedo....

Nunca pude preguntar al río
lo que llevaba con tanta prisa,
hacia abajo, en silencio...

... y el río pasaba sin mirarme siquiera...
... siempre ocupado en su deslizarse...
... siempre sin mirar atrás a escucharme,
sin parar a contestarme,
sin parar a decirme qué llevaba dentro...

Nunca quiso responderme el río,
nunca quiso ser mi amigo
y seguía su camino...

... y el río contestaba con preguntas evasivas,
“¿A dónde vas?”, yo le decía,
“Sin parar, con tanta prisa.”
“¿A dónde vas?, ¿a dónde vas...?”

El Río (A dónde vas)

It's grail time! Kalita are honoured to officially release for Record Store Day 2020 (29th August!) for the first time since 1983 Marcy Luarks & Classic Touch's mythical American-Nigerian Afro boogie masterpiece 'Electric Murder', accompanied by extensive liner notes based on interviews with Marcy's family and producer Daniel Irabor.

The product of the then husband and wife team of Marcy and Dan, 'Electric Murder' brought together both the former's American and the latter's Nigerian roots; recorded in London with UK-based session musicians, this mix of heritage and styles resulted in an Afro disco album unlike any other.

With original copies turning up for sale roughly once every few years, and with an eye-watering four-figure price tag to match, Kalita for this year's Record Store Day saves you the never-ending search for this true holy grail.

Released on black vinyl, with printed insert detailing Marcy's life and musical career.

I Wish

I wish there was a heaven
We could go to, you and me
I wish that we had souls
That lived for eternity
 I wish I was a better man
And didn’t get angry
I wish that we could meet again
In a land beyond the sea

I wish that there was peace on earth
And everyone was free
I wish there was an end
To all the pain and cruelty
I wish there was a god
Who looked after you and me
I wish existence had a reason
And a story we could see

I Wish

Lyrics:
Catch me looking up when I feel down
Heart ice cold music too loud 
Said you was wanting something real now
You know that my heart is yours to steal now
Feet are on the edge
Messing with my head
Need something true instead
And I'll be just fine on my own
Head in the clouds but it's ice cold
Feet on the ground where the night go
Say no lies if you say so
Really don't know what you don't know
Head in the clouds but it's ice cold
Feet on the ground where the night go
Saying no lies if you say so
Really don't know what you don't know

Head In The Clouds But It's Ice Cold - Paploviante

Cardiacs cover. 
I just had to, warts and all. I got blisters on me fingers! 

Following around to see a life that's never in
Always calling itself on its own phone
Though its never quite at home in the world today
See it to arranging the day
Prepared in its own special way
With added loving care
Though its not been there since yesterday
Looking so hard for a cause
And it don't care what it is
And never really ever seeing eye to eye
Though it doesn't really mind
Perhaps that's why
It never really saw
Never really saw
Saw
It never really...
Following around to see a life that's never in
Always calling itself on its own phone
Though its never quite at home in the world today

Some live looping acoustic music for a lovely day! 🙂 I wrote this song after I was stuck for many hours in a heavy rain in South Europe while hitchhiking to Morocco and West Sahara. Song is in my mother tongue - Latvian. This isn't my most latest song but this is brand new arrangement. Hope you will enjoy!
