SLIFT - FANTASIA

Con un pizzico di ironia intenzionale, il quarto album degli SLIFT si chiama Fantasia. È il loro disco più essenziale e diretto fino ad oggi. È anche il loro album più avvincente, una saga incisiva sul superamento degli sconvolgimenti internazionali raccontata da una band che va dritta al punto, senza sprecare un solo secondo. Le numerose influenze della band sono evidenti: l'album richiama alla mente i Clutch in versione sfrenata, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, lo scrittore sovietico Mikhail Bulgakov, i Pink Floyd e i Sabbath dell'era "Master of Reality". E il ricco intreccio sonoro è valorizzato dal sapiente missaggio di Kurt Ballou (Converge, Cave In, High on Fire). Le canzoni non mancano della complessità o dell'intensità che hanno reso gli SLIFT una stella nascente della musica heavy; hanno semplicemente trovato nuovi modi per intrecciare le complessità del loro passato all'interno di ogni brano offrendo un messaggio affermativo e urgente: insieme, possiamo ancora cambiare i tempi in cui viviamo.

In 1974 Kevin Ayers departed EMI's Harvest, his label home since 1969, and moved to Island Records, recording the classic album 'The Confessions Of Doctor Dream' the same year.
Produced by Rupert Hine, the album included the lengthy title track, a reworking of the Soft Machine track 'Why Are We Sleeping?' and saw guest appearances from Mike Oldfield and Mike Ratledge, among others. It was also the first album to feature Kevin's long-time musical collaborator Ollie Halsall on guitar and was greeted with praise from both critics and fans alike.
The 'Sweet Deceiver' album was released in 1975 and featured contributions from Elton John, following which, in 1976, Kevin returned to EMI Harvest to record 'Yes, We Have No Mananas – So Get Your Mananas Today' another highly acclaimed record. To promote the album Kevin formed a new live band which included future Police guitarist Andy Summers within its ranks. 'Rainbow Takeaway' appeared in 1978 and Kevin's final album for Harvest, 'That's What You Get Babe' appeared in 1980.
This new box set covering Kevin's work from the latter part of his career with Island and EMI Harvest has been remastered from the original master tapes and features all of the aforementioned albums, along with a further 35 bonus tracks drawn from singles, BBC Radio sessions and 13 previously unreleased live recordings from Paris in 1975 and Bremen in 1976. 'Where Do The Stars End' also includes an illustrated book with a new essay.

Various Artists: A Strange Light From The East - Eastern Influenced Western Music 1965-72

1965–1972 period saw Western music transformed through the integration of Eastern music and philosophy and raga influences.
• Iconic tracks by The Byrds, The Yardbirds, and The Paul Butterfield Blues Band pioneered the fusion of modal jazz, Indian classical music, and psychedelic rock.
• These experiments laid the foundations for progressive rock, proto-punk, and world music, permanently altering the technical and creative landscape of modern music.
The dawn of the British folk revival broke in 1965 when Bert Jansch's "folk-baroque" finger style revolutionised tradition, providing the early morning light for a burgeoning psychedelic scene which, by 1972 had traveled from folk clubs to the high-concept landscapes of progressive rock, exemplified by the Eastern-tinged sitar-guitar on Yes's 'Siberian Khatru'.
Western artists utilised Eastern forms as a new musical bedrock. The Byrds transitioned from folk-rock into the uncharted territory of 'Eight Miles High', a track widely cited as the first true U.S. "Raga Rock" single. Driven by Roger McGuinn's solos - inspired by Ravi Shankar and John Coltrane - it proved pop could embrace complex modal structures. Similarly, The Yardbirds' Jeff Beck used high-fuzz pedals to mimic a sitar's drone on 'Heart Full Of Soul'.
As the daylight intensified, ambitious excursions pushed genre limits. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band bridged the gap between traditional forms and the jam-band aesthetic with 'East West', a masterpiece of modal jazz and Indian classical music. Kaleidoscope's 'Egyptian Gardens' remains one of the most authentic examples of the trend, blending Middle Eastern scales into world-music fusion. Even the driving rhythms of Shocking Blue's 'Love Buzz' showed how the raga sound was integrated into emerging hard rock.
This "strange light" provided the blueprint for the complex musical architecture that followed. The technical rigours of progressive rock grew directly from these experiments; Jimmy Page's DADGAD tuning on 'White Summer' became a Led Zeppelin staple. The influence even reached into the shadows, as The Stooges traded garage-rock for the ritualistic intensity of 'We Will Fall'. From the "space-age" pop of The Riot Squad to the "Indo-Afro" experiments of The 40 Watt Banana, this era of cross-pollination forever altered the horizons of Western musicians.

OF MONTREAL - AETHERMEAD

Aethermead segna una nuova fase creativa per gli of Montreal, riportando alla luce l'energia visionaria dei primi anni senza rinunciare alla loro naturale inclinazione alla sperimentazione. Il disco intreccia indie pop luminoso, psych rock e art rock teatrale, costruendo un universo sonoro mutevole, in cui melodia e straniamento convivono costantemente. Registrato dal vivo su nastro a Brooklyn insieme alla storica live band, il progetto privilegia l'immediatezza e l'imperfezione viva della performance, trasformando ogni traccia in un momento irripetibile, quasi performativo più che "prodotto" in studio. Le atmosfere oscillano tra euforia e inquietudine, con richiami evidenti alla freschezza di "Satanic Panic in the Attic" e alla crudezza emotiva di "Lousy With Sylvianbriar", ma filtrate attraverso la sensibilità più matura di oggi. Ne risulta un album stratificato e imprevedibile, dove la scrittura melodica si apre a deviazioni psichedeliche, improvvisi cambi di atmosfera e momenti di pura esplosione creativa. "aethermead" non si limita a guardare al passato, ma lo reinterpreta come materia viva da deformare e rilanciare nel presente, mantenendo intatta la natura teatrale e visionaria della band. Disponibile in CD e LP transparent, si presenta come un lavoro che unisce nostalgia e reinvenzione, intimità e caos controllato.
