Songs from the Seventh age

Ascent

In the quiet tension between illumination and shadow, Ascent contemplates the fragile geometry of human choice. Inspired by the verse, “Nor are the darknesses and the light alike,” this work moves between the unseen and the revealed, where every sound becomes a flicker of consciousness reaching toward clarity. Like one turning toward the light of truth, or a wanderer staring into the absurd, the compositions dwell in the moment between understanding and surrender. Each tone, each echo, is a reflection on how the light we seek is shaped by the darkness we carry.

"Closer to time all of us fall."

The Ship Was Sailing (Original Mix)

Not An Animal keeps up the pace and pressure with yet another high quality distinctive release, further cementing the labels specific sound and revealing more of the scope of its musical mission. Machete Savane are comprised of label co-owner Andy Bainbridge and producer/composer Saul Richards. Manticore continues with their instantly recognisable hi octane yet organic discofied sound, as previously displayed via their releases on Cynic and Redux. Remix wise, there's a very much 'night and day' choice to be had here, with Johnny Nash (Land Of Light) providing his trademark blissed-out ambience to a beatless rendition and Ian Blevins taking the original even further into dancefloor territory, upping the tempos and evoking the drive of Paperclip People.

Release date:  4 february 2021
Format : Double Vinyl (incl. special ed. Blue vinyl) w. full colour booklet liner notes + CD + Digital

Malagueñas 2 is the second single release from Bongo Joe's exploits into the history of the Spanish electronic underground: LA OLA INTERIOR: Spanish Ambient & Acid Exoticism 1983-1990. The compilation features 20 tracks selected from a fertile period of electronic music production and experimentation in Spain, which shines a light on a tape culture movement and buoyed by a fetish for an exoticism of Asia and Africa.

Made in 1990 in Tenerife but left to the archives and untouched, until now, Malagueñas 2 is an intense rush of electronic hypnotism and was discovered by compiler Loïc Diaz Ronda:

"I knew Javier Segura was influenced by acid folk in his first attempts and also that the Canarian Islands are the Spanish threshold to Africa, so I knew there had to be some tracks... Finally, I landed by chance on his youtube channel and discovered a bunch of unrealeased tracks from the early 90's. Among them, there were two versions of Malagueñas. Malagueñas 1 was a track with vocals. Malagueñas 2 was the instrumental version and it blew my mind as soon as i heard it. With its complex sound layers and its hypnotic pulse, the track had this Andalucian / Arabic flavour. It has only been listened to 10 times on youtube! Javier told me he loved this track immensely"

LA OLA INTERIOR COMPILATION
With the Spanish recordings and philosophy of the 'musica discreta' (Spanish ambient) movement overlapping the premise and manifesto of Brian Eno and Jon Hassell's Fourth World, compiler Loïc Diaz Ronda wanted to carve out deserved spaces for the artists involved, as key components within the history of experimental music. This 'post movida' selection features some cult and pioneering artists like Finis Africae, Suso Saiz (Music for Memory) and Miguel A. Ruiz but the majority of artists featured are generally unheard of in Spain or beyond. The album includes two tracks discovered and released for the first time ever (Suso Saiz's Horizonte Paseo & Javier Segura's Malagueñas 2), a handful of digital and vinyl exclusives and provides the musical backdrop to a scene that went under the radar, whilst simultaneously to the east, on the white island of Ibiza, another much publicised revolution, was well underway.
