VIBRATION BLACK FINGER - GUADI
The third release from this groundbreaking musical
collective – and maybe their most compelling so far! As before, there's a
fantastic melange taking place – elements of spiritual jazz, soulful funk, and
lots more – but this time around, the sound is even more offbeat – darker in
some corners, weirdly calming in others – very much experimenting for its own
pleasure, but with results that are extremely pleasing – and hugely different
than the kind of contemporary projects that filter down a world's worth of
influences, but with an end result of nothing. Instead, VBF manage to sift
things around in ways that are completely amazing, and spiritual too – but with
a very unique approach. Maggie Nichols sings on two tracks, Ebony Rose on two
more, and Nat Birchall plays some great tenor on a spiritual jazz take on
"Amazing Grace" – alongside other titles that include "Get Up
& Do It", "Got To Believe", "Love & Hate", and
"Alive In The Five". ~ Dusty

ADAM RUDOPLH’S MOVING PICTURES – GLARE OF THE TIGER
The groove of Adam Rudolph just keeps getting deeper over
the years – to a point where here, he almost sounds like he's somewhere between
the scenes of 70s electric Miles Davis, and some of the later cross-cultural
experiments of Bill Laswell! There's a great layering of electric and acoustic
elements taking place here – a sound that almost seems to have no beginning or
end at points – built up from lots of rootsy percussion from Rudolph, mixed
with Fender Rhodes and hammond from Alexis Marcelo, cornet and flugelhorn from
Graham Haynes, percussion from Hamid Drake, electric bass from Damon Banks,
flutes and reeds from Ralph M Jones, and percussion, Rhodes, and electronics
from James Hurt! The track length is nicely varied too – some long
extrapolations, shorter bursts, and mid-level musical journeys – on tracks that
include "Glare Of The Tiger", "Dialogics",
"Ciresque", "Ecstaticized", "Wonderings",
"Lehra", and "Rotations". (Limited to just 300 copies –
includes download!) ~ Dusty Groove
