Alex Ice & Drink (real name Alex Eisenling), who has been active since the 1970s when young people saw blood just by playing music, became a synth in the early 1980s during the Mexican currency crisis. It was Sintoma who released her passion and anger at the drum machine. Sintoma is a trio of Alex, his wife Cynthia Napalm, and friend Bernard Gonzalez. An underground-smelling electro with an overdose sensation and vocals with a Latin accent melody that Cynthia is angry with are released with a dry Mexican that follows a step toward worsening public order. Inspired by this band, a self-produced indie and underground scene will appear in Mexico. This work is compiled from their album / single / unreleased song. The CD version has 2 bonus songs. Fortunately, high-quality sound is guaranteed by mastering based on the existing master tape sound source.

Imagine being a punk rocker before the advent of punk rock, or a hippie that puts a cynical meaning in the message of peace. It's just like Pip Proud in Sydney in the 1960s, who cursed the media and its hypocrisy and made music that cuts through all the falsehoods. (Excerpt from David Nichols, commentary)

An anthology of the musical works of Australian outsider poet Pip Proud, also known as "Syd Barrett on the other side of the globe," under the supervision of his biographer, Professor David Nichols. All songs first appeared in Japan!

He has a quiet voice with a tangled tongue, and his vocal range is less than half an octave. (Omitted) A complete understanding of the childhood sensibilities shown in these songs is the most extraordinary feature of his work. "(From commentary) ... Proud is unprecedented in Australia. At that time, the industry was awkward, and it wasn't even described as a "pioneer" in that even followers weren't established, and it was just an "outsider" who was isolated from the front and back. Syd Barrett and Daniel Johnston have a strong personality that once you hear it, you will never leave your mind.

This work is an anthology selected from the phantom private 1st album produced in the 1960s, 2 albums released in majors, and treasured recordings in the early 70s, and the latest remaster based on the sound source source generated from the master tape. Was given. In addition, with the cooperation of Professor Nichols, an English poem that should be called "Pip" was published as a text for the first time in the world based on a draft handwritten by the writer (→ This English poem alone is of great value!). The CD version adds 3 bonus songs.

If you're a fan of Hiramazu, VIDEOTAPEMUSIC, Tortoise, Tommy Guerrero, Martin Denny, or Balearic jungle, you're definitely a narcissus! Argentine talent Emilio Alo's new work is a fantastic, mellow and minimalistic exotic tribal music in the name of the band. Released worldwide from M Records.

The solo works "Panorámico" (2007) and "Estrambótico" (2012) released by Emilio Alo, a multi-instrumentalist writer who does not need explanation for Argentine music fans, are a new generation after the acoustic group. It was a complete studio work under the influence of folklore revival. However, it is extremely important that the key man of the scene dared to form a band here. The debut album of this suspicious band name , which is named after the South American crocodile, is a concept of music that flows in an unexplored region, imagining the music played by a fictitious tribe. Alo's own instrument called Kalimbaphone (the name is also the best!), Which is a remodeled Kalimba, is set as the core, and the band groove, which is mellow and fantastically played with loose waves, is quite hypnotic. Addictive. It's a waste to be monopolized only by Argentine music fans, and there is no doubt that fans of Hiramazu and VIDEOTAPEMUSIC will definitely be addicted to this fantasy music!

"The Countryside Is Great" by Runepet Laemsin, the song in the play that became the theme song for "Bangkok Nights" (included on the soundtrack CD). It would be great if I could hear this instrumental thing! The first thing that came to our minds when we dreamed was Emerson Kitamura, who we all love! This 70s Thai funk Luk Thung classic "Country is good" was overly picopico covered with Emmasolo 18th synth & rhythm box, and cooked in 2 versions of instrumental and dub!

Another highlight is the killer, slightly dreamy version featuring mmm (Mimaimo) on vocals, which wipes out the image of the 70s disco hit "Rock Your Baby" famous for Kiyoshi Matsutakeya / Tomatos version. And another happy song is a DOPE instrumental tune that was reconstructed by interpreting the songs from Ankanan Kunchai's 1st album as bass music, and its name is "Ramprun Salab Korn Sawan Bassline", Thai music enthusiast, techno, dubstep. PURE dance cut that pushes to step and trap fans. The strongest and most fun 12-inch with 4 songs that I've been waiting for! (Binding: Shinsuke Takagi / Soi48)

The second of two EM Records 12-inch vinyl-only "tribute releases" in support of the Kuzoku film "Bangkok Nites", this time by rap group stillichimiya, local heroes in their Yamanashi homeland. Based on samples from Dao Bandon's biggest hit, the classic luk thung Isan tune "Man on a Water Buffalo" [EM1131CD/LP], the tracks here, including a remix by Compuma, are a grittier, real-world counterpart to the dreamy first release in the series.

A folk trio who was active in Derbyshire in central England met Jane Marsden, a vocalist with a brilliant voice, and this was the opportunity for the birth of a six-member electric folk rock band, No Light Turn. They gained popularity in central England, and in 1983, at Woodwarm Studio, which was the core of the Fairport Convention, they independently produced their first album, "No Light Turn." (Adding a cover song "Lady of Pleasure" that respects Fairport to the album) The uniqueness of NRT is that although it is not so much involved in live performances, two songwriters, Phil Harrison and Tim Dawson, Being on the back as a member, the repertoire of major vocal songs was the original that became their pen. Jane's multi-recording / double-track vocals, reminiscent of Linda Perhax, were the band's glamor, and the British-style refreshing and melancholy voice matched Harrison / Dawson's original songs best. While there are songs that appeal to the times, such as "Roller Coaster" where neo acoustic acoustic guitars run, "Lawlands Away" which invites nostalgia, and "What Do You Do?" Rearrange traditional songs such as "Ash Plant" and "Waves" into a heavy progressive instrument like Pink Floyd. This exquisite sense of balance is also the charm of the band. It's a local indie independent board, but it's a lovable miracle work that is truly a masterpiece!

The latest work "Hear / Here", which is M's fifth work in total, was recorded in his hometown of San Francisco, where he produced the masterpiece 1st "Isophonic Bugiugi" (1980), which is his origin. He moved to New York in the early 80's. He suddenly moved to Israel in 2013, but returned to San Francisco last year. This latest composition collection "Hear / Here" was produced there.

Roland, who consistently produces works with improvisational composition, has a top-notch mix of electronics and acoustics, with a sense of Pharaoh Sanders, techno, electronic music, and classical music. The spirituality and ambientness, and the (

This work is a cutting-edge attempt to create a new Amazon by using "Amazonia" (1990), an Amazon expedition record by Finis Africae, a classic of Balear Relic, as a sound material. Strongly inspired by Toru Takemitsu, Joji Yuasa, Charles Ives, Juan Alberto and others, this work has strong elements as classical and contemporary music, but it makes full use of analog and digital instruments and recording techniques, collage and sound art, We will cook shredded materials from various perspectives such as electronic music and folk music. The finest natural beauty and psychedelia, in the endless inner universe that spreads in front of the listener, the electronic sound that shimmers like a heat haze leads, and the magnificent nature and the earth beat on the leaves of the sound, a pleasant ambience Cosmicche soundscape that wanders into the unexplored interior with the wind. This emotional melody is truly unique.

Euphoria indeed. Rie Lambdoll and Mayuko are the two euphoric Synth Sisters, Osaka-based musicians who also comprise Crossbred. “Euphoria” is the duo’s long-awaited second release, following their 2014 debut. This release consists entirely of new Synth Sister recordings, featuring Mayuko’s synthesizers, and Rie’s electric piano and synthesizers as well as her celestial vocals. The euphoria on offer here features equal parts of angelic arpeggios, seraphic sequences, meditative melodies and transcendental timbres, masterfully mixed and mastered by Kabamix. The pieces here, all composed and produced by Rie Lambdoll, combine drifting drones with rhythmic elements sure to appeal to fans of Tangerine Dream; (Terry) Riley-esque meditations melding with psychedelic musings in blissful ease. Available on CD, 12-inch vinyl or as a download, “Euphoria” is yours for the asking. EM Records delivers the goodness.

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.

What is HIP HOP Global? What is local? The new work of JUU4E, a Thai rapper who repaints the hype-covered , is a light of hope for pan-Asian music in the 21st century, and is a black ship released to the world. No, if it was a black ship that appeared dignifiedly in the daytime, this work is a small smuggling ship that sews the night and crosses the sea to carry .

TRAP beats born in Atlanta in the United States have become a common language in the world and continue to produce replicas, and as in Asia, many acts appear and disappear, and rappers from countries such as South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia have been attracting attention for a long time nowadays. "YouTube play XX million times!" "Instagram follower XX million people!" Such phrases flew around, and the rapper made full use of social media to aim for monetization from a single buzz. It is JUU4E that strongly expresses and continues to create original HIP HOP.

JUU4E is a rapper who has been respected as an OG in Thailand, where young talents are appearing one after another, and has established a unique standing position. In the previous work "New Luk Thung" (2019), under the production of Young-G of stillichimiya / OMK, a masterpiece that is the latest HIPHOP and the latest Luk Thung by eclectic Thai omnivorous ghetto song, Luk Thung with HIP HOP. I made it. This work shocked both inside and outside the country, such as being nominated for the prestigious RIN (Rap is Now) annual best in Thailand, but when this "New Luk Thung" was released, in fact, this work "Idiot World" was already produced. Was starting.

This work is all self-produced by JUU4E. The lyric that interweaves Thai, Japanese and English, the stretchable flow, and the track that has a lower center of gravity than the previous work and is boiled down in dubby are the same as the previous work that chewed HIP HOP / TRAP and made it completely own, but it should be noted. Is a point where you can feel the intention to strongly represent . Ron Gen, a Japanese folk song influenced by Malaysian music, and Teresa Ten's songs that JUU4E has been accustomed to since childhood are quoted, but they have been incorporated into JUU4E. Is lightly slashing the masquerading global and exoticism that world music once had, as well as the self-orientalism that is innocently rampant in the current Asian hip-hop.

If you touch this work by biting the information that floods the net with HIP HOP hot in Asia, you're lucky. I want you to be stupid by all means being overwhelmed by the lyrics that challenge the "stupid world" head-on and the sound that is bitten by overwhelming freedom.

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".

The latest work "Hear / Here", which is M's fifth work in total, was recorded in his hometown of San Francisco, where he produced the masterpiece 1st "Isophonic Bugiugi" (1980), which is his origin. He moved to New York in the early 80's. He suddenly moved to Israel in 2013, but returned to San Francisco last year. This latest composition collection "Hear / Here" was produced there.

Roland, who consistently produces works with improvisational composition, has a top-notch mix of electronics and acoustics, with a sense of Pharaoh Sanders, techno, electronic music, and classical music. The spirituality and ambientness, and the (

Performance as if John Fay and Buckwards Sam Fark possessed, all 6 songs by cyber cowboy wandering in the digital jungle + Tomoki Kanda (CRUE-L Records)'s best remix recording! 2010s present tense TOKYO music cutting edge that looked like prewar country blues 100 years ago. The splendor that I haven't lost sight of myself for many years.

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 !!

80s Heavy Metal Dub Phantom Edition "Ten Dubs That Loosen the World" Sheriff Lind's new album for the first time in 25 years! Its name is "Aftershock Dub"! !! Two bonus songs added to the CD!

What have you been doing for 25 years! Don't rush in. Sheriff Lind has been devoting himself to reggae with the Southern Hemisphere soundmen, but in the last 20 years, only a few songs have been released on the compilation CD. The whole picture was sealed in the hall and mysterious, but the sheriff was on the lookout all the time!

This surprising new 2nd album can be called a "special collection" (Note 2) compiled from the numerous dubs (Note 1) that Sheriff Lind has played with sound so far. This fully field-specific massive bass sound source was selected for the album by West Japan's proud sound system "Touch the Sky" crew, High-C, and an elite track maker / engineer pursuing reggae dub. Ruv Bytes, our Takuto Kuratani. In addition, M's first genuine dance hall specification that Mr. Kuratani will master! A heavyweight special album with a single dub rhythm that appeals to the stubborn roots lovers from the original generation to the digital / nu roots generation!

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.

Woman, liquor, agriculture, poverty ... The world's first debut of Dao Bandon, the "buffalo rider" who continued to sing the life of the northeastern part of Thailand while calling himself a countryman and performing indigenously! A unique view of the Luk Thung world cultivated in the harsh land of Isan is condensed into this one piece! World music !? Rare groove !? Frontier !? Kayo!? ……. Here is the roots of the great (Thai) popular music created by a man made up of poor people!

The best compilation album of Dao Bandon, a Luk Thung singer from Isan (Northeastern Thailand) who was most wanted to be released by world music fans and frontier rare groove DJs! Thai music is now attracting the attention of collectors all over the world as dance music. Dao Bandung's music, which is characterized by thick beats, killer breaks, and unique voices and tunes, had the appeal of being addicted to the ears once heard. But what was sung in Isan in the 70's? Why did Dao Bandung hit? Its charm remained a mystery. This time, we interviewed Dr. Dao Bandon directly and translated all the songs in Isan and Thai into parallel, and the astonishing facts are under the sun! The laughing and crying original scenery of the idyllic Isan is revealed, such as a song about the set from reggae-like Ga * ja tune, a love song in the world of blues, and so on.

In the 1980s, Mr. Dao produced singers familiar with world music such as Honey Sri-Isan and Jintara Poonlarp. This album is full of roots up to the present in the genre of Luk Thung, which is still extremely popular. There can be no Thai song without listening to this!

In this work, all lyrics are posted in three languages, Thai, Japanese and English. The commentary is posted in Japanese and English, and the annotations of Thai proper nouns are complete! A spirited specification that will be an indicator of future world releases!

From beginning to end, sometimes chanting Hindu mantras, attack with heavy percussion frenzy Indian funk with a mix of Western, Latin and Arabic music. According to the credit notation, there are a total of 16 musicians. Western electric instruments such as electric guitars and electric basses, Indian percussion instruments, whistle, organ, electronic musical instruments like Moog (!), Men's and women's chorus and yelling, the song bursts with high tension. Trips to Kathmanz, Calcutta hymns, let's go dancing with me, etc. are included in the songs, and all songs are short, thick and thick like Ramones. The more I listen to it, the more my head feels numb, but I don't know what I played for. The youthfulness of Indian people, all eight songs recorded in 1978! !!

The second Thai music release of EM Records! !! This time, Isan's Mor lam in northeastern Thailand has become familiar with the release of numerous compilations! !! This time, with a different selection, with the cooperation of Maft Sai and Chris Menist, who ignited the Thai music boom also known as Bangkok's underground party "Paradise Bangkok", Tonfado, a master player of a two-string violin called "Saw". Reissue the extremely rare sound source of Fighted! Thor's stunning performance will catch your ears, but of course the release from EM shouldn't end there, and there are many funky tracks that introduce gadgets, noisy percussion instruments, groovy basslines, and more! An exquisite piece that combines the earthy performances of country music with modern sounds using electric instruments at an elegant and high level! Not only for DJs, but also for those who like folk music and those who want to feel relaxed and ethnic at home, this is a highly recommended piece! !! !! !!

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.

From upper tunes such as the bizarre blockbuster "Bump Lam Phloen" that incorporates disco into mor lam, her representative song "Hongthong Khanong Lam", Luk Thung disco, a phantom self-produced single (the best content), and that "apple" Also includes a beautiful cover of "Oiwake". 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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
