MP3 CBR 320Kbps | 103 MB | Covers included
Soul-Jazz, Jazz-Rock, Jazz-Funk, Psychedelic, Space-Age | Label: Hundergrum Records

“Rare grooves from the pulpiest regions of Spanish cinema from late 60s to late 70s – soft core erotica, comedies and otherwise exploitation style films! Needless to say, the subject matter made plenty of room for Spanish styled blaxploitation & sound library influenced grooves, psychedelic funk & rock! Laid down with flute, fuzzy guitars, organs and more – groovy, seedy stuff!”

This time around, the focus is on the legendary Discos Fuentes – a label as important to Latin music in Columbia as Fania was in New York – but also one that's got a much richer history, and much deeper range of grooves! ”

The Airborne Toxic Event - All At Once (2011)
EAC Rip | FLAC, tracks+cue, log | 320 MB | MP3 CBR 320Kbps | 110 MB | Scans included
Indie Rock, Alternative Rock | Label: Island Records

“Their stadium-indie sound is more variegated on this follow-up, on which Mikel Jollett reflects on death and change. "We grow old all at once, and it comes like a punch in the gut," he notes on the galloping, U2-style title track, while the simple "The Graveyard Near The House" is a touching love song. In between are burly rockabilly depictions of Jollett's troubled family, stadium anthems of chugging sincerity, and less appealingly, a song about the bombing of that Afghan wedding party featuring some ghastly prog-rock keyboards. Overall, it treads an uncertain line between bombast and sensitivity.”

This Will Destroy You - Tunnel Blanket

This Will Destroy You - Tunnel Blanket (2011)
EAC Rip | FLAC, image+cue, log | 356 MB | MP3 CBR 320Kbps | 162 MB | Scans Included
Post-Rock | Suicide Squeeze Records

“Tunnel Blanket delivers the epic-in-scope soundscapes that followers of its makers’ previous recordings are accustomed to, but presents them in new lights – where once the sun shone down bright upon immediate tropes and traits, now their work is better suited to distant starlight, casting changeable shadows across vistas of inspired, ambitious amplification. This is not an album to pick through in search of bold hooks and instant melodies. It is an ever-shifting, always moving work, which seems to evolve before the listener – spidery guitar lines feeling their way forth like vines scrambling up trunks in time-lapse photography.”

Electropop | Label: Mercury/Universal Music Australia

“Sunny electropop. Anyone can be a bedroom producer these days, but very rarely do the results sound as assured, elaborate and downright infectious as Like What, the debut album from Tim & Jean. Careening exuberantly through its ten songs, it's a record that effortlessly captures the euphoria of a damn good party whilst applying the sheen of sun-bleached nostalgia.”

“The far reaching sounds of Thailand from the mid 60s to mid 70s – from spaced out, pulpy jazz & funk, to eclectic luk thang with Latin and psychedelic rock influences, to melodic north east Thai molam – an impeccably well chosen and beautiful sounding rarities put together by the great Soundway label! All of the material appeared on vinyl LPs and 45s from the era, and the recorded quality is excellent throughout. Amazing, eye-opening Thai music on Soundway – a label that's nearly unrivaled in it's way of carefully and respectfully putting together global music of historical and cultural importance, but doing so with a hip sense of fun and adventure, dispensing with dry academia all together. Perfection!”

“Japanese exclusive release.Though the material isn't of the first rank and her voice betrays her several times, Nara Leão makes this 1965 LP work better than most by virtue of her excellent interpretive skills. Also credit the sure hands of Luiz Eça and Dorival Caymmi, who helped out with the session.”
