On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Slipping a Little More Tongue

As a prelude to the Overflow February's Dub & Dub Adjacent shares, I'm slipping you all a bit more Holy Tongue. On this one they teamed up with Berlin-based British Dub techno producer Sam Shackleton. 



The union came about after they all shared a festival lineup in Sweden. Holy Tongue, the trio of Valentina Magaletti, Al Wootton, & Susumu Mukai had initially wanted Shackleton to remix one of their existing tracks, but they ultimately settled on working on a whole new project. & what a project it proved to be. Shackleton's usual elegant signature sounds are all still here, the hurky-jerky tape stops, spiralling tubullar bells, Sound System bass heaviness, but never once overwhelming Holy Tongue's core energy. 

 

Holy Tongue meets Shackleton - The Tumbling Psychic Joy of Now,
AD 93 WHYT080, 2024.

    I'm currently rereading Tom Robbins' 'Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates', which i only mention because The Tumbling Psychic Joy Of Now could have been lifted from any of his novels. One more album for the groovy melting pot of periodic, rhapsodic re-education? Here's hoping so! Cheers mate.

    Tom Robbins is one of my favorite authors. Tumbling Psychic Joy could easily be one of his works I just finished re-reading Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas. Enjoy the fresh tongue.

      Same here. I just completed re-buying my collection with Villa Incognito & Wild Ducks Flying Backwards (the only book of his i haven't read before.)

    This is probably my favorite of Holy Tongue's work. Thanks for highlighting this one as well.

      I appreciate your thoughts, and all of your posts bring me much joy. I'm happy and healthy, enjoying the downtime with my family and focusing on mindfulness based stress reduction which is working wonders. Still unemployed, it is a delicate dance to get a job at my level in my industry. Something will manifest when it is the right time. I have started pulling together some new missives, to be released when I feel the time is right.

      Glad to hear things are going good. Family & health first & foremost. I always said when I was between jobs that I was looking for a job when I found the last one. Things will work out for the best, I hope. Stay well.
