Clan Caiman - Asoma (Rises) (CD)
Clan Caiman - Asoma (Rises) (CD)Em Records
¥1,980
The second album of Clan Caiman (Japanese name: Caiman), a quintet led by Emilio Alo, a musician representing Argentine New Newsick, has appeared. High-humidity indoor tribal music played with hypnotic sounds and primitive pulsations under more thorough restraint.

Clan Caiman, a five-member band formed by Argentine multi-instrumentalist writer Emilio Alo with the concept of "imagining the music played by a fictional tribe." His debut album "Clan Caimán" (2018) was widely heard by Hiramazu, VIDEOTAPEMUSIC, Tortoise, Tommy Guerrero, Martin Denny and others. In this second work, "Asoma (Rises in English)", Aro's creative musical instrument , which is a remodeled Kalimba, becomes the cornerstone of the ensemble and gives off an unknown ethnicity, but it has a high musicianship. The evolution (deepening) in the direction of can be heard in the arrangements and performances of the Argentine performers who have more restraint than the previous work. As Alo himself explains, "There are no vocals, cymbals, or fanfares," the eight songs have a metroethnicity sensation after abandoning the climax of the chord progression and the flashy arrangements that attract attention. The sound field is filled with suspicious warmth and hypnosis. The binding design that traps the high humidity air is again Sebastian Duran and Ian Kornfeld.

One of the deepest and ideal forms of "Bon Odori", which is innumerable all over Japan, is considered by Minyo Mountains x M Records. The non-bouncing drums and hammer beats of krautrock reminiscent of German rock, the whistle that is blown all at once at an overwhelming volume, and the pole of minimal dance music that repeats thoroughly! Its too stoic and sharp sound image makes me want to call it "rural industrial music" or "richie hawtin in the field" that is played without using electricity. This is the "Boundary Stone Throwing Dance" that still remains in northern Saitama Prefecture. Here, the songs and dances that retain this old form have not been turned into tourism, and have continued to this day as the activities of the Bon festival.

This time, we remastered the song contained in the record "Saitama Bon Odori" produced by the Saitama Folk Culture Center in 1983, and recorded / mixed the latest version by the preservation society as of 2017. Recorded in. Please listen to the Japanese dance classics, where the stone Buddha begins to dance. The binding is Shinsuke Takagi (Soi48) following "Yumi Kagura".

Formed in 1978 and still active, Yin Hunting Rotten is a heretic presence in Japanese indie games with its overwhelming name and works. They are an "impossible" group who were in the Tokyo / Yokohama underground scene in the early 80's but were not influenced by punk-post-punk itself.
Members Naoyuki Masuda (g), Masamichi Oyama (key), and Atsushi Harada (dr) met through a surrealist research douujinshi, and based on the idea of converting to the sound of "automatic writing", improvisation was the main axis. Started activities. He released various works in 1980-84, but his name was difficult to read, his songs were like symbols, and his titles and works with pure white bindings that didn't even have a sword were all crushed, but his unique personality was unparalleled. Since then, it has been a mysterious existence and has received strong support until now.
 This "Houaku" was recorded in 1985, but after many twists and turns, it will be submitted here as a "new work" and a second album. The recorded music was recorded by improvisational performance based on the image recalled from the video by projecting a photograph taken by Masuda in Spain into the studio, and it was edited and completed later.
Using an electrified / synthesized instrument, the amorphous music that sometimes looks like Sun Ra (unintentional) is timeless, and it's hard to tell when and where it works. The unknownness is a word of "cool !!" "I learned for the first time at this time that the time difference of" several decades "in improvisation does not mean much. I think there is no such thing as" evolution of rising shoulders "in music," (Atsushi Harada, commentary. Than)
 Following this work, "Initial Works" will be released to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the band's formation! First, the unreleased original complete version, a remaster of the sound quality dramatically improved, presented in 2014 Japan Indie's hottest work !!

In the previous work "Isted Serenade", the amplification was modest and the emphasis was on the deep acoustic sound, but in this work, his new frontier is heard with the electro sound that has been synthesized (synthesized). On the surface, that's the case, but his philosophy "isophonic" is still pierced in the core, and what is expressed through Young's unique conprovisation (composition and improvisational compound word) is "isophonic. His world that continues from "Bugiugi". Therefore, the degree of discipline of the sound is different from that of the electro guys there, and the density is able to withstand deep listening. Also, the sound pressure and facial expression of the sound was a problem until the end of completion, and his realism still living in Brooklyn is reflected in the tension of this aggressive and tingling sound.

The current three artists will challenge the difficult song "Gun Ho 1,2,3D", which is a masterpiece of New Zealand's legendary performance group From Scratch. This is a cover performance collection in which each person explores how to play with percussion as the common denominator (* not a remix collection). Everyone made it very hard. I look forward to working with you!

From Scratch is a development of a performance group organized by Phil Dudson, who learned from the far-left musician Cornelius Cardew, as the New Zealand branch of the Scratch Orchestra in the 1970s. They are known around the world for their combative custom instruments, and Ryuichi Sakamoto became a percussion instrument unit at a glance, and he visited Japan twice.

The work that can be said to be their true value is this difficult song "Gung Ho 1,2,3D", which features hocking in which the performers beat different beats individually, and the ultimate polyrhythm with accurate repetitive rhythm is a masterpiece. The sound is mechanical and inorganic in terms of characters, but the overtone-covered mundane sounds generated from the vinyl chloride tube and the slight error caused by human performance become organic components and create a mysterious ecstasy.

In this work, the original recording of 1981, which was performed in the most complicated 8,9,10 and 9,10,11 time signatures of "Gung Ho 1,2,3D", is the first, and the current three artists in Japan and abroad: Goat (M2) led by YPY Koshiro Hino / Don't DJ (M3), a German genius / Utena Kobayashi (M4), who is currently active in DAN, Tokumaru Shugo, etc. Contains a total of 4 works. All the performances are based on the score, but the interpretations of the four are completely different, and despite the fairly advanced performance, it has a pop appearance due to the repetitive rhythm.

This time, one of the diva who caused the boom of Mor lam new generation idols in the 70's, Hong Thong Da Oudong, is the best selection for the first appearance outside Thailand. The definitive edition with sound source recording, commentary and translated poems that have not been made into a CD even in Thailand!

Beloved for her petite, baby-faced, and pretty personality, Hong Thong has been active in the middle of the two major genres of Morlam (* 1) and Luk Thung (* 2), and has become a model for next-generation singers since the 1980s. On the other hand, it is a mysterious diva who suddenly retired at the height of popularity.

Her music was known to fans as an early masterpiece of big-name producer Doi Inthanon, and she presented a challenging work in this combination. In this album, her true (really sweaty) wide repertoire with Morlam / Luk Thung on her crotch is extracted by the reliable Soi48 song selection, and its charm is conveyed in an easy-to-understand manner.

Another highlight is Soi48's commentary, which is based on a direct interview with Hong Tone, revealing an unknown story. Come and experience what Hontone was the new wave of Thai music!

Extradition's parent band Tully, who is familiar as the highest peak of Aussie Spiritual Acid Folk! !! !! !! It was recorded as a soundtrack to Paul Witzig's surf movie "Sea Of Joy" in 1972, but it's almost an Extradition rather than a soundtrack! Extradition's nickname band, which uses psychedelic and meditative sounds with a mixture of electro / acoustic sounds and experimental methods, is a masterpiece that nods. It is a superb surf sound that exists with the magnificent sea that makes you recognize the connection between surfing and spirituality. Especially, the warm and slightly nostalgic sound like the sea at dusk is a masterpiece that makes you feel wrinkled and impressed. Female vocalist Shayna Karlin (now Stewart) who decided the Extradition also participated. The best acid folk that you should definitely listen to this summer. The liner by the band members and the director is also very polite and wonderful. MUST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A hard and killer Morlam / Luk Thung barrage of secret weapons. Surin Paksiri's treasured child, , Son Taya Karasin's best selection of men's days has appeared in M's Thai Music Archive.

Son Taya is a singer who was hand-salted by Surin Pakshiri, a famous producer of Isan in the northeastern part of Thailand who made "Isan Lam Phloon" (1972) by Ankanan Kunchai, and is a female mor lam singer Payrin Pawn Phibun (already mentioned by Em). He is a "boy" singer who played an active part in pairs with. Based on the belief of the patterner of Isan music (developed and developed in Thai), Paksiri who always tried new things was the hottest recording of 70s-80s, and this Sontaya sound source is a strange and heavy mor lam that can not be heard anywhere else. A treasure trove of Luk Thung. From the Isan girls at that time to the hearts of the current Japanese, European and American dance floor DJs, this 's dangerous world is put together in one piece. The combination of Sonyata-san and Paksiri's unique songs before coming out, which was extremely popular with women but had a maiden spirit, gives off a hard charm that enthusiasts (what?) Can't beat. There is a mass!

In Thai music, which tends to focus only on the appearance and voice of the singer, as with the producer / arranger work in Japan, the United States and Europe, there are works that should be talked about in their contents. Soi48 and M are proud to send you unique Thai music that is neither funk, jazz nor rock, and the more you know about it, the more you will understand its speciality.

¥2,530
A treasure of Thai music! The best selection of the orthodox Morlam (*) diva, Pailin Pawn Phibun. Thai essential edition and the world's first CD!

Pailin Pawn Phibun is a treasured child of Isan music tycoon Surin Pakshiri and an orthodox Morlam singer who followed Ankanan Kunchai. In the world's first best compilation album, a collection of famous performances from the latter half of the 70s to the beginning of the 80s during the heyday by the name combination with Paksiri. Although his ability and popularity were also popular, there were not many recordings (→ Paksiri hated crude overproduction), and most of them were released as singles, so the sound source value of this work is quite high. Almost all songs will be reissued on CD for the first time in the world.

The title song "Lamb Chrome Tun (Phantom White Bird)" is the theme song of the oversized hit movie "Monrack Menam Mu" (1978), which features Isaan music, and is her representative song. It is a masterpiece with the saying that the Thai song giant Waiphot Phetsuphant, who was impressed by this, begged Paksiri to make a cover.

Surin Paksiri, who has always brought a new twist to Isan music, is a super-experimental work because Pailin is a singer of the time when he was the sharpest. Lamb Prune, Lamb Tanwai, Luke Tung Isaan, etc. are all quirky recordings, and are full of deep and heavy works such as polyrhythmic songs reminiscent of African music and songs of tribal dance music itself. In Thai music, which tends to be spotlighted only on the singer's song and appearance, there are famous songs that should be talked about in terms of sound as well as the famous producer / arranger work in Japan, the United States and Europe. A unique music mor lam that is neither funk, jazz, rock nor club music! The more you know about Thai music, the more you will understand its brilliant speciality. Soi48 and M are proud to send you this special piece!

* Note "Mor lam": Mo is a master, and ram is a performing art that speaks with intonation in the tone. In other words, it is a "master of narrative" and is a name that refers to both the singer and the performing arts. Mor lam is not a "song". Isan (Northeastern Thailand) is the home.

In Morlam (* 1), which was a performing art that inherited the traditional "mold", it was rare to make a new mold, but "Lamb Pane", which appeared in the early 1980s, was a great producer, Doi Inthanon. A new type of lam created by Inthanon to meet the needs of the times, its appearance was literally an unconventional event. It is said that this Lamb Pane was specialized in the dance hall scene from the beginning and promoted the appearance of Lamb Singh, who is currently at the forefront, and is an important lamb type that has become the ancestor of Thai bass music since the 90's. In this commentary, Soi48 reveals the secret story behind its birth.

Quanter is the representative of Ram Pane, who made his debut by Doi Inthanon, who was selected from among 1,000 singers. With a strong appearance, he is a powerful singer who rams the life scenery of Thai people (Isan people) at the bottom, incites dance, and burns thick and short. Enjoy heavy street mor lam with translations, including the Thai-style biker song masterpiece "Lam Phaen Motorsai Tham Saeb" that incorporates the engine sound of one of the representative songs, Motorsai (* 2). that!

Who is Juu? Thai HIPHOP scene where attractive acts appear one after another. Among them, Juu is respected as an OG, but it is extremely difficult to catch its existence from outside Thailand. Singing in Thai, there is no physical, OMK (One Mekong) traces the trace that existed only on Youtube and succeeded in contact. In 2017, he was finally invited to perform his first live concert in Japan, revealing his unusual musicality and character. The groove of the hi-hat that is too thick and finely carved is that of TRAP or later, but the flow that expands and contracts freely, the linguistic sense that mixes English, Thai, Japanese, Koshu valve, and the rich Thai music classic All of them (and their funny personalities) showed that they were in a completely different dimension from the world-famous TRAP copycats.

This is Juu's first full-length album, which was completed in about two years after the talents and OMK members collaborated with each other and started co-production with the lead of Stillichimiya / OMK's Young-G. Most of the tracks are in Young-G's hands, and the sound is also full of ambitions that reflect OMK's attitude. Thai instruments such as chin, cowbell, cane and pin are used everywhere, but never used for exotic seasoning. In order to inject the original beats and grooves in Thailand, they are inevitably incorporated. And what oozes out in the mellow song is the flow (singing heart) that is similar to Luk Thung and Japanese enka. They create an indescribable "new song feeling" through Juu's background HIPHOP and reggae.

As the title "New Luk Thung" shows, this work is a Pattaner (* 2) of the dying Thai song genre Luk Thung (* 1) with cutting-edge HIPHOP. Like HIPHOP, this music called Luk Thung cites (samples) and revives past classical music many times. And like HIPHOP, the lyrics (lyrics) are also very important music. The feature of this work is that the manners common to Luk Thung and HIPHOP have been completely digested without contradiction. The title of this work comes from Juu telling Young-G that "this is New Luk Thung" in the process of production, but this is an inevitable name. This work is both "latest HIP HOP" and "latest Luk Thung". In the world of Juu's poetry, which is respected as the best "master poet" in the Thai HIPHOP world, please check out the complete translation, which was extremely difficult to translate.

The first and last physical version of the popular signboard series of Ano (t) raks, a label that shows a new trend in Japanese indie pop. City music BREEZE created by up-and-coming musicians passes through the heart.

Anotoracs was established in 2012 "to introduce domestic indie pop artists buried in the net". Mainly for distribution, today's city music was launched, and the talents of the new generation of 2010s such as Shin Rizumu, Miho Tsujibayashi, Navel Suke, and Sodapop were introduced and attracted a lot of attention, so keep an eye on future trends. There are many fans in the UK, US and Europe, and we cannot take our eyes off the future trends, such as the establishment of a new label under the umbrella of a large CD shop and the launch of another label.

This time around the 3rd year since its inauguration, Dai Ogasawara, who sponsored the elite track of the 2014 signboard series "Light Wave", re-selected the song and summarized it as "Light Wave: Today & Tomorrow". This is presented as a current record of what's next, from which anyone can experience what Annotrax calls Indie Pop / City Music tomorrow. The CD version and the LP version have different album appearances due to different song selection and jackets. 2010s Japanese indie pop must-listen!

Also pay attention to the sound that has been greatly reborn by thorough mastering of all songs (including some remixes)!
