MULATU! - matt

If you haven’t ever taken a ride on the gravy train that is Ethiopian Funk, climb aboard IMMEDIATELY.  Charlie and I made a stop by The Dusty Groove a few weeks ago, and I came across what is now the crown jewel of my record collection: Mulatu Astatke’s Ethiopian Instrumental Hits.  The man was the founder of Ethio-Jazz, and his music is moody, slinky, funky, and brooding all at once.  He plays electronic vibes and his music is accompanied well by out of tune pianos, saxophones, funky bass lines, and guitars that give this music a uniqueness all of its own.  The influence of the blues is evident (Munayé) and beyond that his songwriting and arrangements are truly beautiful (such as “Tezeta”), funky (Yègellé Tezeta), and at times psychedelic and groovy and make you wonder why you hadn’t heard of him earlier.  I’m not posting individual tracks, I’m giving the whole schmere, because it’s that good, damnit.  This is best listened to in the evening, so sip on or roll your best stuff, turn the lights down low, and let Mulatu take care of the rest.  This is lo-fi goodness.

This is Ethiopiques, Vol. 4, a collection of his work spanning 1969-1974.

Voices of the Seven Woods (It's finger pickin' good)-Austin

A long time ago in a shack upon a small mountain, a man full of heart and desire embarked upon a 120 minute journey that would indulge his mind with foriegn sounds of pure passion and fiery tones. This young man spent hours in this shack where he searched deep within himself to discover and imitate what others before him had tried to achieve. his surroundings within his reach were mystic cries from masters of art and his equipment produced sonic waves that reached thousands, maybe millions. Most of these master’s secrets meant nothing to this man, for he saw with his ears and heard with his mind. A master known as Rick Tomlinson, from the British Colonies struck this young man as something beautiful, graceful, and painless. Tomlinson’s sonic waves reminded the young man of previous mystic journeys, recreated through the medium of sound. Voices Of The Seven Woods cried Tomlinson, as he strummed his magical musical machine to create and produce a sound product on a static month of August on the two hundred and seventh year since Christs death. The Young man ventured through these woods and only halfway in (or halfway out) did he realize he needed to find more from this master. :  :  :  :  :  :  :  :  :  :  :  :  :  :  :  :  : Sand and Flames: The Fire In My Head: Silver Morning Branches: Second Transition Return From Byzantium:

MODERN GUILT-austin

BECK

I am tired of giving Beck his fair share of chances. However with the cover of his new album reminding me of Dylan’s Highway 61 and a lead track remanisant from the same decade, I couldn’t help to wonder….what was the rest of this Danger Mouse produced album like.

So I embarked on a virtual journey to find a glimpse into the new album, which by the way is dropping July 7th on vinyl only. (just messin)

my most reliable source Drowned in Sound hooked me up with a track by track listing of whats up……so…here is a taste of……whats up.

1 ‘Orphans’
Throbbing bass, cheeky skittering hand-clap riddled hip-hop drums and lush Beach Boys backing vocals courtesy of Chan Marshall, better known as Cat Power.
3 ‘Chemtrails’
Pace drops with lots of floaty “aaahhh-ahhhhh”s from Mister Hansen and Cat Power, drifting along nicely before tumbling in a Beta Band kinda way with a waft of Flaming Lips. You’ve probably heard this one already, but if not visit myspace.com/beck.
5 ‘Youthless’
Opens like Justin Timberlake and the bass grinds like a vanilla ‘Milkshake’ ‘til some Kraftwerk keys come dripping all over the place like the record’s about to turn into a Fabric remix album.
6 ‘Walls’
Sounds like a single. Somewhere between the glossy-dirty shuffling of OutKast’s Stankonia and something the Police might’ve done. 
8 ‘Soul of A Man’
A riff romp. Imagine a supergroup of The Stones, The Roots and Queens of the Stone Age, kickin’ it like Run DMC never happened.

Overall, I think this is going to be the most decent album beck has put out in the past couple years. Based off of hype, I am going to give it 3 out of 5 weshare stars. lets see how my thoughts differ on its release.
