Inspiring..., primordial..., deep..., everlasting...and in the end true!

Primordial..., intriguing..., fascinating..., mistic..., deep, introspective and universal at once..., everlasting or better eternal...!

i was attempting to express to somebody yesterday how this music has more in common in my eyes to what generally comes under the genre"Techno"than anything else

FFFoxy Podcast #37: Roaratorio feature

In 1972, Sun Ra inked a high-profile deal with ABC / Impulse, bringing his recorded work to the widest audience he’d had to date.  A slew of Saturn back catalog titles and two newly-recorded albums (Astro Black, Pathways To Unknown Worlds) were issued before ABC cancelled the contract, dumped the records into the cut-out bins, and left the unreleased albums to languish.  Now, over four decades later, Roaratorio is proud to offer one of the lost Impulse recordings for the first time.  Sign Of The Myth hails from the same studio session as Pathways, and shares its emphasis on guided improvisations.  With a constantly shifting palette of Moog textures, Ra tosses off a dazzling array of ideas throughout, supported by the usual Arkestra stalwarts; in particular, bassist Ronnie Boykins and drummer Clifford Jarvis are in shining form here, giving shape and solidity to these pieces.  Sign Of The Myth is a welcome augmentation to an especially fertile period from Sun Ra’s time on Earth.

DAVID MARANHA & HELENA ESPVALL - SOMBRAS INCENDIADAS
three:four records, 2015 (TFR027)
http://www.three-four.net/releases/TFR027

OUT IN JANUARY 13, 2015

Helena Espvall first met David Maranha in 2006 when her band Espers played a show in Lisbon. They played two gigs the following year, and Espvall contributed to Maranha's 'Marches of
the New World'. Since then they always had the intention of working together more extensively and once Espvall moved to Lisbon two years ago they had no more excuses.

Sombras Incendiadas ("Exploding Shadows") features Espvall on amplified cello and Maranha on electric organ and amplified violin. Espvall has an amazing cello sound, kind of Velvet Underground, while David Maranha is in the vein of La Monte Young or Tony Conrad. As a duo, they create heavy drones with delicate harmonics behind the wall of sound. The textures are raw, the compositions are minimalistic, and the riffs are heady. The repetitive patterns played very loudly create a monolithic, hypnotic, and time­stopping album.

Sombras Incendiadas is available on LP (with a download coupon) and digitally.
