escucha and learn

August 6th 2013.

A Gitmix of the 12" of the track that was also on the LP Tackhead Tape Time.

Started work on this in 2011. Made it fifteen seconds in and stopped.

Yesterday I revisited the file and got to work again. Funny how imminent destitution is a great motivator to finish things.

Adrian Sherwood and the masters Wimbish, McDonald and LeBlanc, 1985. And the album Gary Clail's Tackhead Sound System - Tackhead Tape Time, has never been bettered.

Tackhead - Mind At The End Of The Tether (Gitmix)

 Our best version of the classic Velvet Underground track. We tried about 10 times to record this song, but the results were never very tight. This version I think is strong enough to share.  Miss Mess and Sonny Blood absolutely back each other up to the very top, lots of support from the awesome Bryce Martin,  Tim Moore as well! At Patrick Jennings Underground Paradise Place, he calls it Unseasonable Sound Studio.

Oh Yeah Habibi: ten years and up-to-date

If you look up the word ‘arabicana’ you find a music genre and its inventors; NO blues. Even after ten years the band that combines Oriëntal roots music and American folk blues is still unique in the world. On the new album Oh Yeah Habibi, NO blues bridges the gap between east and west and changes the Nile and the Mississippi in one meandering musical delta.

Even though the band has been together for ten years, the new album Oh Yeah Habibi sounds direct and fresh like a debut album. U’d player Haytham Safia: “We went back to the core of guitar, u’d, double bass and percussion.” Different from the previous albums, NO blues chooses to use current events as topics for their songs. Songs like Exodus and World Keeps Turning refer to people that seek refuge and Two Trains and Gods Move refer to religious themes.”It struck us that our music seemed to have a different energy after the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo”, says bassist Anne-Maarten van Heuvelen. “NO blues has always been a political statement in music, we had to follow that up with our lyrics. Guitarist Ad van Meurs: ”We’ve never been a political band, but we don’t look the other way.”

Oh Yeah Habibi is more on topic than previous NO blues albums and the critically acclaimed arabicana from this Dutch based top team that has been working together for ten years, still has great impact. In twelve new studio tracks the band reaches a next level in their musical embrace between east and west.
