A double vinyl ticket to eleven engaging and evocative destinations.A trip into the fantastical. An Oyster from Elsewhere...Compiled by soFa, the second instalment in his recent series ties together eighteen artists, each venturing down their own musical path, to produce an audio atlas that transverses not only styles but also cultures and continents.Disparate musicians come from far and wide have been brought together across two slabs of beautifully mastered vinyl and, somehow, someway, found a jittering, skittering and juddering balance.Tracks from Puma & Dolphin and Khidja conjure up images of thick jungle scenes as tribal rhythm patterns hypnotise and mesmerise alongside shamanic samples. The heady exotic aromas and tactile textures of the East are on display with Zatua traipsing through baked dunes and deserts before arriving to the shamanic organized chaos that is Bear Bones, Lay Low.Darker moods loom and lurk, skulking in the alleys of Konsistent or in t-woc’s lurid tones. These duskier elements are countered by the brightness of Velvet C’s future disco sounds or the laser synthwork of Rony & Suzy. The buzzing Chicago inspired sounds of Weird Dust, the dawning pulses of Twoonky and the triumphal charges of Föhn blur the lines between mystical places and the cruel reality of the modern world.

Tunnel vision réédite Âme triste de A Gethsemani – Opus Dark Wave français de 1987Âme triste est le premier album d’un projet-groupe né dans la deuxième moitié des années 80 A Gethsemani, mené de front par Bernard Odot, seul aux commandes pour cet album. Bernard Odot vient de faire l’acquisition d’un DX7, joue dans un groupe ardennais nommé Anackarsis Section, et parallèlement compose sur un 4 pistes. Le résultat est une musique sombre, à la limite du gothique, mais sans artefact précieux. Loin des sons parfois amateurs que l’on peut retrouver dans la no wave et post punk française, les nappes synthétiques sont parfaitement modernes. Il est même étonnant qu’un DX7 eût pu donner un tel résultat !

After levelling up with our last outing, the SPZL team return with 4 heavyweights on remix duty of tracks from Sifar by Das Spezial.Low Jack, Bruce, Lakker, and Etch all tame and rework the original EP to produce four moments of magic in their own unique style.Hold tight for the heaters, this one is coming in strong!!!

Altın Gün return with a masterful album that widens their critically acclaimed exploration of Anatolian rock and Turkish psychedelic stylings to include dreamy 80’s synth-pop and dancefloor excursions. Yol (Road) brings together all vectors of the Altın Gün experience and delivers their most compelling and individual album to date.---------------------------------------Amsterdam’s Altın Gün have built a strong reputation for melding past and present to make brilliantly catchy, psychedelic pop music, as seen with their Grammy-nominated second album, Gece. They are also a renowned live band with strings of sold-out shows on three continents, who have consistently brought a muscular groove to their recordings. Yol, their third album in as many years, excitedly continues these trends; while also digging in deep to unveil a new palette of sonic surprises.
