Californian artist Diamond Ortiz makes his Neon Finger debut and in doing so brings plenty of his homeland's sunny soul to the fore

Californian artist Diamond Ortiz makes his Neon Finger debut and in doing so brings plenty of his homeland's sunny soul to the fore. This magnificent 7" brims with West Coast influences and low riding beats. The original version on the a-side, '4 Really Tho', is all filtered vocals and squelchy boogie bass that is impossible warm and smooth. Dazzling chords and big hand claps complete the vital cut and then the flip removes the vocal and allows the majestic chords and bass to really shine. This sure is an essential cop for all funk lovers.

The compilation “Celestial Birds” reveals and focuses on the widely unkown electronic compositions of the AACM founder and jazz pianist MUHAL RICHARD ABRAMS. #5 in the Perihel Series, curated by zeitkratzer director REINHOLD FRIEDL.Anybody interested in jazz knows that Chicago has always been an impressive hot spot for new talents – and still is. One essential landmark in the history and development of jazz was the founding of the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) in May 1965. This non-profit organization was a melting pot (and starting point) for artists like ANTHONY BRAXTON, ROSCOE MITCHELL, GEORGE LEWIS or LESTER BOWIE and his ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO but one of its actual founding members is known only to the deep connaisseurs: MUHAL RICHARD ABRAMS (1930 – 2017). The autodidact pianist and composer left music school and university, deciding to learn music by himself. From 1961 on, the EXPERIMENTAL BAND was his first ensemble, but it soon turned out that ABRAMS‘ interests went beyond jazz and that he was open to the avant-garde and new music and most of all: electronic music. Which led to a double problem: On the one hand, black musicians had almost no access to the rare electronic music studios located in and funded by universities or broadcasting corporations. On the other hand, there were strong reservations regarding electronic music in the black music community. In his important book “A Power Stranger Than Itself – The AACM and American Experimental Music” GEORGE LEWIS writes that “the use of electronics … proved controversial and widely misunderstood in a world of jazz in which acoustic instruments became conflated with musical, and eventually, cultural and even racial authenticity.” ABRAMS‘ response was to actually „hide“ his electronic pieces on the B-sides of his albums, and this compilation focuses on some of his best electronic experiments: the 22-minute long epic „The Bird Song“ from 1968 in its original version incl. the reverb that was removed on the later CD reissue on DELMARK, the synthesizer compositions „Conversations With The Three Of Me” (1989) and “Think All, Focus One” 1995) plus “ Spihumonesty” (1980) with a 2nd synthesizer played by GEORGE LEWIS and YOUSEF YANCEY on theremin.“Celestial Birds” casts a new light on the underrated experimenter MUHAL RICHARD ABRAMS, his innovative approach to composition and pieces that lay dormant for way too long!

Sorti en 2017, Return To The 37th Chamber est la suite du classique underground de 2009 Enter the 37th Chamber d’El Michels Affair. Entre les deux, le groupe a travaillé sur des albums de Lee Fields, The Arcs, The Shacks et bien d'autres, affinant encore un peu plus la signature sonore d'EMA. Cette fois, en plus de réinterpréter les compositions du Wu-Tang Clan en groupe live, El Michels Affair rend hommage à la production et au brouillard sonore qui rend un beat de RZA si reconnaissable. Le producteur et meneur Leon Michels a enregistré l'album de manière totalement analogique, en passant parfois par six générations de bandes avant d'être prêt pour le mixage, ce qui a donné à Return to The 37th Chamber son propre son brumeux. En plus de cette qualité sonore unique, l'album est parsemé de fioritures psychédéliques, de synthés à la John Carpenter, de guitares heavy metal, de cuivres triomphants et d'instruments traditionnels chinois qui compensent l'absence des voix du Wu-Tang. Du début à la fin, c'est un voyage sombre qui se situe entre l'esthétique hip-hop intemporelle de RZA et la soul cinématographique pour laquelle EMA s'est fait connaître. El Michels Affair s'attaque à des classiques comme "4th Chamber" et "Wu-Tang Aint Nuthin ta F’ Wit", ainsi qu'à des morceaux moins connus comme "Snakes" d’Ol Dirty Bastard, "Verbal Intercourse" de Raekwon, ou encore "Shaolin Brew", la contribution du Wu-Tang à la campagne de promotion du hip-hop de St. Ide en 1994. Cette fois, EMA a fait appel à certains membres de la famille du label Big Crown pour l'accompagner. Lee Fields chante sur "Snakes" et est rejoint par Shannon Wise de The Shacks pour leur version de "Tearz", qui rend autant hommage au sample de Wendy Rene qu'au Wu-Tang Clan. Lady Wray fait également une apparition sur la reprise du tube de Method Man, "All I Need", prêtant ses prouesses vocales à ce qui a donné au Wu-Tang l'un de ses plus grands succès de tous les temps. Parsemés tout au long du disque, des interludes originaux tiennent les morceaux entre eux et donnent à Return To The 37th Chamber une narration cinématographique qui en fait un véritable disque de El Michels Affair et pas seulement une collection de reprises. La version vinyle de Return To The 37th Chamber est présentée avec 4 couvertures différentes peintes à la main. Les originaux ont été peints sur deux sacs de farine cousus ensemble à Accra, au Ghana, par Heavy J et Stoger, deux artistes qui sont des légendes de la scène du cinéma mobile ghanéen et qui contribuent régulièrement à la collection de la Deadly Prey Gallery à Chicago.
