Test Pressing - 231021

Fresh and zesty with subtle tropical flavours, this is a delightfully listenable debut from Matthieu Beck on Growing Bin. Inspired by the lilting rhythms, jazzy instrumentation and slow listening gems found on his Love In The Afternoon radio show, the Frenchman has crafted a gorgeous collection of laid back sophisti-pop, perfect for long summer days or seasonally affected escapism. 
Any suggestion of sorrow in the album title is actually a mislead - this may be a solo LP, but Matthieu’s surrounded himself with the musical friends he’s made over the years, serving as composer and bandleader to a willing troop of collaborators. Longtime friend and former Metronomy bassist Gabriel Stebbing, Source Ensemble drummer Emmanuel Mario, and of course Laetitia Sadier herself, stepped in to lend their services and bring Matthieu’s music to life, before Jérôme Caron (Blackjoy) expertly mixed it all down. 
Though the tracklist may read like a travelogue, these nine tracks all began at home with Matthieu sat behind a Fender Rhodes with a drum machine by his side. Soon live bass, saxophone and flute strolled into his unhurried arrangements, retaining the simplicity of his demos while expanding the emotion. Weighty synth drones and bubbling bass balance the airy elements of tracks like “California” or the dream-pop romance of “Rooftop Rome”, while the mellow “Malika” and joyful “Retour De Plage” showcase the Frenchman’s relationship with jazz. Elsewhere there’s hints of digi-dub (“Island” and “Suede”), coastal boogie (“Tokyo Montana”), stripped back city pop (“California”) and downtown nostalgia (“Dora”), before Beck arrives at the poetic, progressive but peaceful finale “Piano Fin”, which recalls Air at their prettiest, without stepping outside Matthieu’s well defined sound.

This is dedicated to turning on, tuning in, dropping out. It’s a sonic excursion through the revolutionary potential of the sunshine, because when it blesses us all everyone wants to do is chip work, bathe in the beauty of the natural world and chat shit to their mates. This mix is aural sun kisses - mellow soul jazz for doing anything you want so long as it’s not serving capitalism. From the sunrise of Sergio Mendes to the sunset of Wes Montgomery, consider what it is to have a day luxuriating in a low BPM and a high vibe. Take back your time, enjoy the sunshine, and smash capitalism via a laid back groove.

Bookmakers #22 - L'auteur du mois : Pierre Christin
Né en 1938 à Saint-Mandé (Val-de-Marne), Pierre Christin est l’un des scénaristes majeurs de la bande dessinée européenne. Souvenons-nous, en premier lieu, de sa saga spatio-temporelle au rayonnement international : « Valérian et Laureline », avec les dessins intersidéraux de Jean-Claude Mézières, dès la fin des années 60. Puis des premiers albums exceptionnels d’Enki Bilal, de « La Croisière des oubliés » à « Partie de chasse », en passant par son préféré : « Les Phalanges de l’Ordre noir », sur la réunion d’anciens membres des Brigades internationales pour un dernier baroud d’honneur contre des terroristes chrétiens.

Salué en 2019 du prix René-Goscinny pour l’ensemble de son œuvre, cet artisan du verbe et des situations, également journaliste et auteur de romans « très noirs, à charge contre une certaine classe politique française », qui fut une fois librettiste d’opéra, conserve une belle humilité vis-à-vis de sa fonction au royaume du 9e art : « Un super scénario offert à un dessinateur nul, ça donne une BD nulle ; un scénario faible dans les mains d’un grand dessinateur… ça donne une BD pas mal. »


Pierre Christin (1/3)
Il aurait aimé avoir « cent vies, dans cent villes – et autant d'identités ». Pierre Christin, 84 ans, a préféré publier, le temps d’une seule existence, pas moins de cent livres ! L’essentiel se trouve au rayon bande dessinée, dont ce fiévreux disciple d’Alexandre Dumas fut – et demeure – l’un des scénaristes incontournables, aussi prolifique dans les galaxies de l’imaginaire que précis et consciencieux sur le plan politique. Lunettes sur le front, ce grand reporter et professeur de journalisme « entré en scénario en dilettante, par effraction » fut aussi dealer d’histoires pour Tardi, Boucq, Annie Goetzinger ou, plus récemment, Sébastien Verdier (via une fabuleuse biographie de son maître George Orwell, en 2019, écoulée à près de 25 000 exemplaires).

Mais par quelle somme de hasards – et de rebondissements – ce fils de coiffeur de la banlieue parisienne, « miraculé de l’Education nationale », est-il arrivé jusqu’au légendaire journal « Pilote » ? Quels furent les conseils techniques des papas d’Astérix ou de Blueberry, René Goscinny et Jean-Michel Charlier ? « Scénariste, c'est l'art d'organiser les pièces du puzzle », selon lui. Dans ce premier épisode, tentons de remettre dans l’ordre la vie de ce manipulateur de marionnettes de papier, qui nous reçoit à domicile, généreux dans sa gouaille de titi parisien, en ouvrant sur nous les grands yeux bleus de son beau visage parcheminé.

Enregistrements : novembre-décembre 22 - Mise en ligne : janvier 2023 - Entretien, découpage : Richard Gaitet - Prise de son, montage : Sara Monimart, Baptiste Dupin - Réalisation, mixage : Charlie Marcelet - Musiques originales : Samuel Hirsch - Lectures : Emma Bouvier, Stella Defeyder, Arnaud Forest, Silvain Gire, Samuel Hirsch, Olivier Minot et le public du Palais de Tokyo - Illustration : Sylvain Cabot - Remerciements : Loo Hui Phang, Clarisse Le Gardien, Avril Tembouret et Kanari Films pour les propos de J.-C. Mézières tirés du documentaire « L’Histoire de la page 52 »

🌞 💓 🌞 💓 Hello my dear friends 🌞 💓 🌞 💓

This week a very special guest mix for the Sunset Lovers is coming from Bounty Bay into Pitcairn Island, and brings you a carefully selected quality sunbathed melodies for your listening pleasure.
Eclectic Journeys aka Silas Wager, alias set up for Balearic and Leftfield edits. takes you on the fantastic music journey with an eclectic selection that fits into the Balearic / Leftfield category. These categories aren’t limited to a single genre, it’s often more about the feel of a song, it’s production, or how it’s different from the norm. So you might hear every genre under the sun from Eclectic Journeys, from Ambient to Zouk and everything in between.

Eclectic Journeys aka Silas Wager, who grew up in north London, and found himself immersed in the extensive music scenes, starting with Rare Groove parties in the mid 80's that often shared a room with Dj's playing acid house music, Hedonism was one such club, a small (very small) warehouse near Hanger Lane roundabout, where you would also see live jazz funk bands playing. While he loved clubs that specialized in just one genre like RIP in Clink Street that played Acid and House music all night, or Confusion, it was clubs like Shoom that took you on a real musical journey, from hearing deep hypnotic and balearic beats to suddenly hearing a song you remember from the charts in the early 80's.
