The Greg Foat Group - Dark Is The Sun CD (JAZZMAN)
Recorded in Sweden, ‘Dark is the Sun’ is a concept album based on themes and variations by British pianist/composer/arranger Greg Foat, who has created an intriguing blend of non-contemporary jazz sounds with classic scoring techniques. An exotic array of unorthodox instrumentation was utilized, including harpsichord, tubular bells and a 15 piece choir. With musical reference and influence from such luminaries as Bruno Nicolai, Michel Legrand and Serge Gainsbourg as well as a firm nod towards UK jazzmen Michael Garrick, Keith Mansfield and Alan Hawkshaw, the result is highly-listenable, enduring and fulfilling for those who like real music played with real instruments. Available Here
LP available soon, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

Resista is a brand new label dedicated to highly limited vinyl-only pressings of interesting edits & remixes from across the genre spectrum...Available Here
On the a-side, we are treated to a mournful yet essentially upbeat afro-workout with some exquisite guiter melodies interlocking with the charecteristic vocal. To be filed under 'Chimurenga', the Zimbabwean popular music genre based on traditional Shona Mbira music, but played with modern electric instrumentation and lyrics providing social and political commentary. Definitely a record that begs to be heard by a wider audience...
On the flipside, Daphni delves even deeper into worlds unknown, with a re-fix of an ultra-obscure mid-80's Dutch outfit that sounds like the bastard European offspring of Liquid Liquid.

BOOK: Trespass: A History Of Uncommissioned Urban Art
Available Here
Graffiti and unsanctioned art—from local origins to global phenomenon Look Inside the Book Here
In recent years street art has grown bolder, more ornate, more sophisticated and—in many cases—more acceptable. Yet unsanctioned public art remains the problem child of cultural expression, the last outlaw of visual disciplines. It has also become a global phenomenon of the 21st century.
Made in collaboration with featured artists, Trespass examines the rise and global reach of graffiti and urban art, tracing key figures, events and movements of self-expression in the city's social space, and the history of urban reclamation, protest, and illicit performance. The first book to present the full historical sweep, global reach and technical developments of the street art movement, Trespass features key works by 150 artists, and connects four generations of visionary outlaws including Jean Tinguely, Spencer Tunick, Keith Haring, Os Gemeos, Jenny Holzer, Barry McGee, Gordon Matta-Clark, Shepard Fairey, Blu, Billboard Liberation Front, Guerrilla Girls and Banksy, among others. It also includes dozens of previously unpublished photographs of long-lost works and legendary, ephemeral urban artworks.
Also includes:
• Unpublished images of street art by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat
• Unpublished photographs by Subway Art luminary Martha Cooper
• Unpublished photos from the personal archives of selected artists
• Incisive essays by Anne Pasternak (director of public arts fund Creative Time) and civil rights lawyer Tony Serra
• Special feature: exclusive preface by Banksy
