FULL LENGTH REMIXED AND RE-MASTERED VERSION OF THIS CLASSIC LP FEATURING TOP 20 CLASSIC JAZZ CARNIVAL!

Blue vinyl version made fopr RSD 2022

Four decades on and Azymuth has reached legendary status amongst fans worldwide and across the music industry thanks to the trio's pioneering blend of traditional Brazilian jazz and proto funk fusion from the early 70's right through to the present day. In 1979 the band's first Milestone Records release, 'Light As A Feather' quickly became one of the best-selling LPs of the year.

Featuring the worldwide disco/fusion hit single 'Jazz Carnival' and going on to sell more than half a million copies internationally, the album stayed in the UK Top 20 for eight straight weeks. An incredibly well thought out album both in pace, song selection and musicality, 'Light As A Feather' marked a maturing of the band as they began to rightfully utilise the studio as an instrument itself,
embracing numerous mixing and recording techniques not yet common for the time as well as pioneering the use of the Big Muff and Dolby System to great effect. The end result is an album that endures to this day as a samba/jazz-funk masterpiece.

Now Far Out presents this seminal recording re-mastered from the original 16-track tapes, which were given to Joe Davis by Azymuth, lovingly reproduced on heavy weight vinyl. This definitive edition of Azymuth's breakthrough LP is a must-have for connoisseurs and an invaluable introduction to the Azymuth sound for the uninitiated.

"A New Dimension In Cultural Awareness" were the words of Tribe Records' co-founder and trombonist Phil Ranelin as the label emerged in a vibrant Detroit in 1972. Together with other co-founder and saxophonist Wendell Harrison, the duo delivered the first of what would become a treasure trove of spiritual jazz releases with 1973's Message From the Tribe. P-vine has lifted its first track"What We Need" for the a-side with the b-side "The Wok" taken from Harrison's 1981 album Organic Dream.

Upopo Sanke signifie "Chantons une chanson" en langue ainu. Umeko Ando (1932-2004) était l'une des artistes les plus connues des Aïnous, une communauté indigène longtemps opprimée du nord du Japon. Elle chante leurs chansons traditionnelles avec Oki Kano à la harpe Tonkori, qui a également enregistré l'album."Upopo Sanke" a été mixé en partie par Oki Kano avant d'être masterisé et gravé sur vinyle par Kassian Troyer. Le 2LP est disponible en 45 tours et le son est fantastique. Cet album est le deuxième album d'Umeko Ando, la suite de "Ihunke", enregistré à l'origine en 2000 et réédité en 2018 par Pingipung avec Oki Kano. L'écoute de cette musique peut être une expérience méditative, chaque note et chaque syllabe semblant contenir un doux sourire, cette musique touche doucement le cœur.Oki Kano est un ambassadeur musical de la culture Ainu qui effectue des tournées dans le monde entier avec son Oki Dub Ainu Band et donne également des concerts en solo, toujours en jouant du Tonkori, la harpe Ainu à cinq cordes.
The 21 track selection curated by Trujillo, a Venezuelan producer, DJ and record collector based in Berlin, explores the forgotten corners of the 1980s and early 90s Spanish music scene. Veering through early bleep and hip house, electro, boogie, Iberian pop and much more, it has broad appeal to both Balearic heads and diggers alike. Serendipitously, the cover art for the compilation is an original work by Yves Uro, a figurehead of Ibiza’s party scene from the 70s and 80s and whose visionary poster artwork became representative of the white isle. While some of the artists or producers on the compilation went on to have notable careers, many of the tracks selected here represent “one-offs” for the artists, and on occasion the labels as well. These sometimes self-released, privatelypressed productions, on short-lived imprints with names like Cantos and Prismatic, document the nascent clubland communities - from the capital, to major cities to the north, and east, and also smaller locales, coastal towns such as Marbella, Gijón, and Cádiz. Ritmo Fantasía is the result of over a decade’s worth of record collecting by DJ Trujillo, searching out bespoke stores, markets, and dealers. For the first time ever, it brings to light and groups together some hidden gems from an era that without it, would likely remain hidden from view.
Horizon Unlimited features the sisters' iconic songs "Come On Home", "Erora" and "Orere - Elejigbo" and was -- as with the rest of their catalog -- incredibly raw, funky and with almost seductive electricity.Recorded at Deccas' London studios and originally released on their Afrodisia imprint in 1979, it was produced by Fela's Odion Iruoje and featured BLO's Laolu Akins on drums and Lemmy Jackson on keys. Sadly, it came to be the last the world heard from the twins for many, many years. “Their final album, “Horizon Unlimited”, was the culmination of their fusion of local and international grooves with urgent social commentary and romantic tidings”, Jon Parales wrote In his obituary for Kehinde Lijadu for The New York Times in 2019.In a review for All Music, Fred Thomas writes “The six tracks on Horizon Unlimited all begin with talking drum, and meld intricate traditional percussion with fluid funk basslines and far-out synthesizer tones, with Taiwo and Kehinde Lijadu's glimmering harmonies dead center. Kicking off with the slow-burning afro-beat of political critique "Orere-Elejigbo", the album's production is precise without ever becoming sterile, and deceptively minimal. Incredibly subtle touches of dub echo, slithering guitar lines and ever-shifting polyrhythmic percussion never rise up enough to call attention to themselves, but rather gel into one impenetrable groove after another. Hypnotic numbers like "Erora" sit next to more rock-influenced and upbeat jams like the incredibly sunshiny "Come On Home", each gliding along in a densely repetitive way that never becomes droning.”He continues: “the Lijadu Sisters’ unique perspective on what pop music was is a large part of what makes Horizon Unlimited and all of their records such fun, refreshing affairs. Completely unassuming and direct, the sisters are unafraid to lay down simple melodies or child-like love songs besides politically charged sentiments. The same "why not?" kind of feeling applies to their grooves." Horizon Unlimited de The Lijadu Sisters
