BOOK: Gil Scott-Heron - The Last Holiday: A Memoir
Written By 1 - January 22 2012
Available Here
In the autumn of 1980, Stevie Wonder invited Gil Scott-Heron to join him on a forty-one-city tour across America, ending in Washington in January 1981, to gather popular support for the creation of a holiday in honour of the great civil-rights leader, Martin Luther King, Jr. Scott-Heron uses this history-making tour as the backbone of his fascinating memoir.
Raised by his grandmother in Jackson, Tennessee, Scott-Heron's journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of the most uncompromising and influential musicians and songwriters of his generation is a remarkable one. Politically savvy and savagely satirical, socially conscious and tender-hearted, Gil Scott-Heron has been called the godfather of rap, and his unexpected death in May 2011 marked the loss of one of the world's most vocal and articulate artists. Chuck D of Public Enemy said of Scott-Heron, 'we do what we do and who we do because of you' and Eminem added, 'Scott-Heron influenced all of hip-hop'. And as Sarah Silverman said, "he mirrored ugliness with beauty, audacity, and valour'.
A compelling testament to Gil Scott-Heron's career and achievements, The Last Holiday is full of Scott-Heron's keen insights into the music industry, the civil rights movement, modern America, governmental hypocrisy and our wider place in the world. MORE:Date

Dirg Gerner - Preface EP 12" (HO TEP RECORDS
Written By 1 - January 21 2012
Available here on 12"
RESTOCKED: Brand new project launching on Ho Tep records from the mysterious Dirg Gerner which features the incredible talents of Rahel, Fatima and Olmino. Drawing on soul, jazz, latin, hip hop and beyond the ep is a deep and colorfully layered affair, organic and warm, it displays an array of instruments and styles. Like a handcrafted sculpture, it's roots float in antiquity, classy and progressive whilst eternally indebted to the greats that came before. Lead track 'My Queen' is a dusty and delicate, blue eyed soul ode, sung by the man himself, whilst Loose Lights draws on latin and folk influences, heavy on the percussion this time enlisting the incredible vocal talents of rahel. Not to be confused with the flute arrangements, rahel's faultless and beautiful performance elevates Loose Lights to levels far beyond the clouds.
Track List & Sound Clips: 1. Rubies & Diamonds feat. Fatima 2. Attempting Cry feat. Olmino 3. My Queen 4. Loose Lights feat. Rahel 5. Rubies & Diamonds feat. Fatima (fLako Remix)

UPCOMING: Lee Fields - Faithful Man (TRUTH & SOUL)
Written By 1 - January 21 2012
Due for release March 2012 on CD & LP, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz
Since the late sixties Lee Fields has amassed a prolific catalog and has played and toured with such legends as Kool and the Gang, Sammy Gordon and the Hip-Huggers, O.V Wright, and many more. With a career spanning 43 years, it's mind-blowing that the music he's making today with Brooklyn's Truth & Soul Records is the best of his career.
While drawing comparisons to The Moments, The Delfonics, The Stylistics, and-of course-James Brown, Faithful Man is able to create a space of it's own due to the group's desire to interpret and further the formulas of good soul music rather then imitate them. Chalk that up to Truth & Soul producers and co-owners Jeff Silverman and Leon Michels. These are the same individuals that co-wrote, produced, and played on Aloe Blacc's global smash I Need A Dollar, and have provided the back drop for records by Adele, GhostfaceKillah, and Jay-Z to name a few. "The older Fields becomes, the closer he gets to perfecting the sound of soul" said DJ Oliver Wang about Fields in an NPR feature. Faithful Man is the next step towards perfection. A step that will find Lee Fields & The Expressions finally being bestowed the contemporary soul music crown. "You're The Kind Of Girl" by Lee Fields & The Expressions by truthandsoulrecordsTrack List:
01. Faithful Man 02. I Still Got It 03. You’re The Kind Of Girl 04. I’m Still Hanging On 05. Intermission 06. Wish You Were Here 07. Who Do You Love 08. Moonlight Mile 09. It’s All Over But The Crying 10. Walk On Through That Door
