Another Rebel Roots Reminder

 

This is just a general reminder to all, but especially those of you who follow along on this here dump & have expressed an interest in Dub & reggae music. Last September Reb Jukebox started a private sharing site called Rebel Roots for those particularly interested in Dub/reggae music. It is members only. Since its inception there are now more than 950 shares, many with multiple releases,  a thousand plus unique titles & growing. Everything is 320mp3 or FLAC, with the majority FLAC.

I joined & have downloaded many great Dub albums that, yes, even I didn't have! It has been fantastic. Since that time, several folks who frequent this mess have joined in on the fun. The ranks are slowly growing & at some point admission will be closed. Reb let me know that there are still a few openings for members if anyone is interested.

Here is his original message:

Hi,  Reb here from reggae sharing site, Rebel Rootsmusic. We share all forms of reggae in FLAC or mp3 320. The site is just starting, it's a private site so limited to 100 people, so first come first served.

Anybody wishing to join, send me an email, with your name & your google email address so I can get back to you.

email Reb @ rebel-roots-music@proton.me

Since it is a sharing, members-only site, there are two rules.
1. You must share at least one (1) item per month, FLAC or 320mp3.
2. If you download someone's contribution, you must say "Thank you".
 
Simple as that.

Easter Egg Hunt

Find the Stealth Links

 

In a comment on Fab Trip 23, MarkyD wanted to know if I could share The Egg, what with Easter coming & all.

Well, I was chewing over the idea with Al B, Umen drummer & long-time friend. First let me say that Al is a Holiday nerd. He starts in decorating his place weeks before Halloween or Xmas. He never thinks he's done enough until he does too much. He suggested since MarkyD wanted The Egg that I should have an Easter Egg Hunt.

I'm the polar opposite of Al. I'm a holiday minimalist if I even celebrate at all. I barely manage to get candy for Trick-or-Treaters or my costume ready by Halloween; barely get gifts wrapped by Xmas day. I feel like I'm moving forwards but I end up slipping backwards. For the holidays I enjoy going to other folks homes, visiting with them, & see what all they've done. But Al sez: "Holidays are about Home", that I should just travel lator.

Being an narco-anarchist Dub Buddhist, I don't even celebrate Easter, it being a Judeo-Christian holiday that used to be about Passover. Easter is really copped from the pagan goddess who was called Ēostre. But what about Easter eggs? It kinda ties in with Lenten fasting. Orthodox Christians in Mesopotamia had been dying eggs red as a symbol of Christ's death around Easter. The Catholic Church also began a practice of abstaining from eating eggs during Lent. At Easter, Christians were allowed to eat eggs again, so the practice of giving & hiding decorated eggs became a way of celebration.

I thought this Easter Egg Hunt idea would give me something to do. I decided to find whatever music I had by The Egg & get some mixes together, but I didn't have much luck, so you're stuck with this rambling tale (not really even an Easter bunny tail).

All I can say is that there are five Eggs hidden about. Good luck & have fun. Let me know how it goes.

If you find the hidden Eggs, please let me know what you found in a comment. I won't post the comment so that it doesn't ruin it for others still searching. So far I don't know if anyone found any of the super-duper Easter Egg treats.

For those of you who can't be bothered with fun or are just lazy leechers, here's one for you...

There's a Riot Going On

 

Another artist that should need little or no introduction here is Ryuichi Sakamoto who died a year ago today. One of Japan's premier musicians & composers encompassing electronic & ethnic music through the sounds of jazz, rock, & classical.

Here's a 12" 45rpm that I'm particularly fond of, from 1983.

Rhye Whiskye

Last December I got back to Musick that Needs Work - M. 

One of the things that needed fixed up was Milosh - iii. 

In the early 2010s, Milosh relocated from Canada to Los Angeles. There he teamed up with Danish multi-instrumentalist Robin Hannibal (Braun) to form Rhye. In January I shared several of their joint efforts. The two parted ways in 2017 but Milosh continued on with the Rhye name, hooking up with various musicians & releasing further music. 

 

After the departure of Robin Braun, Rhye (Milosh) released this one...

Vroom Vroom

Last November I shared some Soul Coughing releases here & here. 

 

Head honcho, obnoxious frontman, & stream-of-consciousness poet for Soul Coughing was one Mike Doughty. Love him or hate him, most all will agree that he creates / writes / plays some damn fine music. Recently he has been lending his skills to Ghost of Vroom. GoV has much more of the Soul Coughing vibe than Doughty's solo work, imho.

Doughty sez:
     "Scrap (Andrew Liningston) and I had been doing this thing where we were improvising during songs, using an adapted, simplified form of the game pieces I learned from John Zorn in the 1990s. Hand signals for changes in the music: starting and stopping individual players, simplifying and creating complication, changing the volume, dropping into chaos and suddenly switching back to order. And we loved doing it. It transformed us into a nimble, live-remixing machine. So we wanted to try a without-a-net version - some pieces started with grooves we'd worked out beforehand, some totally freeform. We did this weekly residency, every Friday for two months at Harvard and Stone, in Thai Town, Los Angeles, using people we'd worked with and players from around L.A. that we loved. It was absolutely thrilling, and mesmerizing for the audience to watch, and to hear. I guess this is what we want to do when we grow up."

Here are Vroom 2, 1, & 3...

Somewhere Someone Lost a Voice

 

Taking their name from a classic 1968 Penguin UK Sci-Fi paperback by Eric Frank Russell, Somewhere a Voice was a Ealing, UK post-punk band formed in 1980 that lasted only two years. They released only this one album, Love, Logic, & Ego. 

 

The band consisted of: Graeme Garlick - guitar & vocals; Hilary Dron - bass; Cyril Simsa - keyboards; & David Jones - drums (their original drummer quit before the album was recorded & Jones was brought in as a session musician). Also, for the album, the band added saxophone on three tracks (provided by the single-named Seva).

Their sound is both typical of the 1982-era UK DIY Factory style post-punk & atypical beacase of unique melodic bass playing of Hilary Dron that often follows the vocal lines & the counter melody Cyril Simsa achieved on his Roland keyboard synthesizer.

Left of the Lastovers

During the course of Trip-hop February, I decided two groups warranted deeper delving. 

They are Mudville & Swandive...

Mudville was one of my favotite post-Trip-hop outfits. Mudville is mainly Benny "Cha Cha" Rubin & Marilyn Carino. Before they formed Mudville, the two released an album of soul-jazz under Marilyn's name.

After Mudville called it a day, Marilyn went on to record several more solo outings. Her debut solo album is a startling meld of sonic & lyric contrasts. These nine songs, with their downbeat tempos, shimmering layered sometimes angular textures, & criss-crossing rhythmic / drenched-in-soul melodic architectures, swallow the listener whole.

Her follow-up was written, recorded, mixed, & performed solely by Carino except for the track  "War & Peace", written by Marilyn Carino with Mike Mills (R.E.M. bassist), This release is a collection of vocal / lyric driven soundscapes; head-space grooves formed from layered, Moogy synths & stark beats.

The album's title comes from a Frida Kahlo installation Carino saw, which featured monochrome rooms, for each of which a sign noted Kahlo's feeling about the various colors. Yellow was madness, blue was peace, & green was leaves, sadness, science. The ten tracks on the album echo the graphic, challenging, & charged paintings of Kahlo, who's work, "Moses (Nucleus of Creation)" graces the album's cover.

Her Roots Run Deep

 

Dominique Fils-Aimé is a JUNO Award winning singer-songwriter from Montreal whose music reflects the history of Afro-American musical culture, focusing on the social realities that have influenced the genres of blues, jazz, & soul. Notably she has released a trilogy of albums inspired by 40s - 60s soul icons such as Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, & Etta James.

Her debut full-length album, 2018s Nameless thematically centered on historical struggles of Afro-American silences & sorrows in the face of systemic racism.. This blues-tinged album bookcases Fils-Aimé original tunes between "Strange Fruit" & "Feeling Good", two classic blues tunes uniquely interpretted by Dominique's distinct vocals.

Her second album, 2019s Stay Tuned! opens with "Good Feeling". The name & melodic humming directly connect it to the final track of Nameless. This is a statement about how music builds upon previous generations. Here the jazz tinged Stat Tuned! builds on the blues infused Nameless. This release is a call to revolution, calling forth the 60s civil-rights movement themes of liberation & progress build on the revolutionary early Jazz stylings.

She concludes her album trilogy with 2021s Three Little Words. As she referrenced blues & jazz in the first two segments, this time it is Soul music that forms the foundation of her songs. The music springs forth from the soul of the artist & reaches out to the souls of her listeners. True to its theme, every song title here are simply three little words.

Feeling Brazillian...Grab a Fat Slab

While I was doing last month's tribute to Trip-hop, I listened to a bunch of Fila Brazillia when I was working on Steve Cobby's The Solid Doctor segment. Fila Brazillia is one of his two main outlets, the other being Heights of Abraham. 

 

In 1990, Cobby teamed up with David 'Man' McSherry to form Fila Brazillia, named after the mis-heard naming of an agressive breed of dog, the Fila Brasilliero (but with "a Z & two L"). Both artists are members of other bands or work regularly on other projects, but enjoyed getting together in a more casual environment where they simply played what was in their minds & on their fingertips at the moment.

I have a file full of Fila but for some reason never got around to sharing it with you all.

Greedy bugger, ain't I?

Remedying that right here, right now...

Well, You Tried the Grass...Now Try Some PCP

The Noise Goes On, Just Moves Slightly

Continuing onward with a project I've been dabbling in for some time, let's  have some more Glasgow noise, nearly. Nearing the end of an era. 

 

This month I'm sharing his excellency, Archbishop Kebab. This was an avant-hardcore collective formed around 1986, actually from Edinburgh, but they were a part of the Glasgow noise scene, closely aligned with Dog Faced Hermans, Badgewearer, & Dawson, each of which I have shared previously in this series. Together for about 13 years, they produced five full-length releases during their span.
