www.tunes.co.uk update - For Your Ears Only |
Hello all,
Don't miss the original funk 45s in here. Enjoy the update!
##ALBUM OF THE WEEK##
>> >>Under A Spell - Streamer<<
This is the eagerly anticipated follow up to "Blissed" and Streamer has spent his time weaving a multitude of genres together. The result is a great listen - from New Orleans horns and afro beats to Siberian throat singing mixed over acid beats it's pure aural pleasure.

##ALBUMS##
>> >>Automatismism - Jens Loden<<
Jens Lodén, well known to the electronica audience from several releases and 12” with the band Reunion on (Sonar Kollektiv). On the album he deals with the contrasts between the possible preciseness in arranging music (programming in particular) and the variability of improvisation. The contrast and balance between static repeating and change. Music for your mind.

>> >>Night Games In Steps & Sequences - Markus Enochson<<
The boundaries in dance music have become increasingly eroded. Markus Enochson is constantly searching for new ways of intorducing his version of soul. Here he gathers a wealth of influences and weaves them together to create his sound, bringing in elements of detroit techno, broken beat and r&b to great effect.

>> >>Mitteleuropa - Gruppo jazz Marca<<
This second album from Gruppo Jazz Marca is a special gem. At the time when it came out it their swing was compared with the one of Mc Coy Tyner and Stanley Cowell. Great reviews from specialized magazine like Jazz Journal, Down Beat, Wire have paid respect to the genius of Roberto Magris, switching from different times and moods. .
