Third World All Stars - Rebel Rock (PRESSURE SOUNDS)

Written By 1 - June 07 2013

Available Here on CD, Here on LP

Re-issue of the original 1975 album with the majority of its rhythms from Errol Dunkley's album "Sit And Cry Over You"! - This is a cooperation of Pressure Sounds and Count Shelly's legendary Third World label. The album comes with sleevenotes by Steve Barker and excellent pictures from the period! 

The instrumental album "Rebel Rock" derives the majority of its rhythms from Errol Dunkley's album "Sit And Cry Over You" released by Count Shelley, produced and arranged, and probably engineered, by the great Sid Bucknor. For the instrumental version the overdubs and remixes were done at the Chalk Farm and E.F.M. (better known as Berry Street) studios with a credited line up of Rico Rodriguez on trombone, Eddie "Tan Tan" Thornton on trumpet, Michael 'Bammi' Rose on sax, Lester Sterling trumpet and saxophone, Buggis Norman on alto sax, "Organ D" aka Tyrone Downie on keys and "Ronnie Bop" aka Ranford Williams on guitar. The original backing tracks for the Dunkley album were by Gladdy Anderson & his All Stars so its likely that featuring bassist Jackie Jackson, drummer Winston Grennan, guitarist Hux Brown and keyboardist Winston Wright may be in the mix!

1. Rebel Rock 2. Repatriation Remedy 3. Our Dream World 4. Patricia's Love 5. Soothing In The Mind 6. Black Moon 7. For All Ways 8. Just For Joy 9. Train To Skaville 10. Moog In Blues

Darondo - I Don't Want To Leave/Untrue 12" (UBIQUITY)

Written By 1 - June 04 2013

Available Here

Tracklist & Soundclips: A1. I Don't Want To Leave (Sure Know How To Love Me Re-Edit) - Darondo feat. Tall Black Guy - 5:17 B1. Untrue (True Re-Edit) - Darondo feat. Dandy Teru - 3:32 The fifth volume in our Luv N'Haight Edit Series is a certified "BANGER" with re-works of Luv N'Haight's legendary Darondo by beat wunderkinds Tall Black Guy and Dandy Teru. Producer Tall Black Guy is already well-known in the "beat scene", gaining notoriety for his remixes of James Brown, Al Green and the Jackson 5 being the most notable. With tons of followers and love from tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson, TBG was the perfect pick to edit Darondo. His take on "Sure Know How To Love Me" is reminiscent of his work on James Brown's "I Feel Good", taking the slightest of vocal and melodic samples from the original and crafting a backbeat and bassline that can be best described as "bangin". The result is a head-nodding, classic, soul-sample hip-hop tune. Dandy Teru's remix of Darondo's "True" showcases a similar ability to TBG in the sense that they both take absolutely minimal parts from the original and use them as "texture" and craft the essential rhythm on their own. Teru's smooth style is "dirtied up" a bit as he uses drums taken from the original and adds Darondo's sparse vocal samples to create a hip-hop tune that's more "new beat" than classic but bangin' nonetheless. With his "Fragile Things 12" and a full album on it's way from Ubiquity Records, 2013 will be Dandy Teru's year so be on the lookout!

UPCOMING: Various - Good God! Apocryphal Hymns (NUMERO GROUP)

Written By 1 - June 04 2013

Due in at Conch very soon on 2LP & CD, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

The third installment in Numero's series of otherworldly gospel, robed funk, and spiritual soul, Apocryphal Hymns is a slim new gospel songbook, penned powerfully by the genre's lesser-known disciples. Here, heavenly harmonies, psychedelic guitars, damaged sacred steel, a bleeding french horn, off-kilter choirs, and consumer-side electronic percussion decorate the Word, with performance modes that stray far from the flock, but hew always to the message. In homage to the stock jacket record industry of the 1970s, select one of these four alternate covers: Woodland Twilight, Seashore Morning, Mountain Waterfall, and Sunbeam Canyon.

Tracklist & Soundclips: 01. Robert Vanderbilt & the Foundation Of Souls - A Message Especially From God 02. Spiritual Harmonizers - God's Love 03. Sensational Saints - That's All I Need 04. Otis G. Johnson - Walk With Jesus 05. Shelton Kilby - Poor Wayfaring Stranger 06. Jonah Thompson - Get Involved 07. Dwain Vinyard - Searching For The Truth 08. Supreme Jubilees - It'll All Be Over 09. Religious Souls - Sinner Man 10. Gospel Clouds - Let Us Pray 11. Flying Eagles Gospel Singers - Can't Run This Race Alone 12. Soul Superiors - Faith 13. God's Band - Come Holy Spirit 14. Whole Truth - Can You Lose By Following God 15. Fantastic Goldenaires of Rocky Mount, NC - Thank You Lord 16. Wayne & Thelma and the McAllister Singers - Peace When He Comes 17.
