Dear SK friends,
Another month has passed and we have a bunch of new records on the pile! Maybe you want to use your precious weekend to listen to some new music...Enjoy!
SK141 7” – Thief – Atlantic / I Can’t Remember Following their first single Hold on, Hold on (SK129), here is the second strike of the debut album by THIEF.
Atlantic is a classic love song.
The sound is reminiscent of a bygone musical vibe - things like the Californian Sound of the late 60’s but carefully transfered to the here and now.I Can’t Remember (presented in a short version here)shows a very different but equally important aspect of the THIEF sound - the psychedelic element that plays an important role on their forthcoming album Sunchild (SK135CDLP).
A driving rhythm made of heavy drums, bass and electric guitar sound provide the background for strange floating vocals that deal with the paranoia of a capitol city.Has just been released, get it at your local record dealer or in our webshop!
SK135CD/LP – Thief – SunchildAnd speaking of THIEF – here is the long awaited debut album.Sunchild stands very much in the tradition of the big studio albums of the 1960s but it is in no way a retro album. It much more weds classical musical qualities with forward thinking production techniques. Folk and psychedelic sound, the audio openness of tremolo guitars and other "real" instruments meet the futuristic touch of typically JAZZANOVA synthesizers with their sometimes claustrophobic introvertedness.
A perceptive prism of the senses comes about in combination with SASCHA GOTTSCHALK's manic and sensitive lyrics.One thing's for certain: with THIEF, JAZZANOVA and the Sonar Kollektiv have once and for all arrived in the world of song writing.
Release date March 19, already now available in our webshop!
SK140CD/LP – Various Artist -Computer Incarnations For World PeaceComputer Incarnations For World Peace which JAZZANOVA member ALEX BARCK has put together with GERD JANSON (Running Back Rec.) is a compilation which takes the focus on the early 80s, 1981 and 1982 in particular.
Many of the tracks on Computer Incarnations For World Peace originate from a new wave context but there are also pieces by the 1920s born American jazz percussionist RAY BARRETTO as well as the French jazz-fusion violinist JEAN-LUC PONTY. The source of these tracks is very diverse - some have been a regular feature in JAZZANOVA's record box for almost 12 years, other have been rediscovered more recently.Release date March 26, available in our webshop from March 20!
SK136 12“ - Future Beat Investigators - Member Of The Trick 06Oh how time passes! With a flick of the wrist the TRICKSKIs YANNICK LABBÉ and DANIEL BECKER conjure up a new 12" every two months. For this edition they have enlisted the skills of none other than the newly formed Finnish project FBI (FUTURE BEAT INVESTIGATORS): a collaboration between LIL’ TONY (NUSPIRIT HELSINKI), ROBERTO RODRIGUEZ (TRACK N FIELD) and KIMMO OKSANEN (ACID KINGS). The trio have a minimal yet very uplifting techno sound which has already been received with open ears by Raw Fusion, SASSE's Mood Music as well as by TRICKSKI and the Sonar Kollektiv.
Release date March 19, already now available in our webshop!
