THE CHEMISTRY SET

The cult London psychedelic scientists have quite a history…founded by Dave Mclean and Paul Lake in 1987, The Chemistry Set's discography now stands at 54 releases and, since their comeback in 2008, every single and album have 'sold out' on release. For some inexplicable reason, they’ve given Fruits de Mer exclusive rights to pretty much everything they’ve released since they got back together – in fact, we created the ‘Regal Crabomophone’ label specifically for the band; this is their new single...

Here's what the band sounded like in 1990 (!!)

DEWA BUDJANA - ZENTUARY

• Dewa Budjana: Zentuary
      (2016, 2cd, --, moonjune / favored nations)

Indonesian guitarist Dewa Budjana's "Zentuary" album got released in 2016.
Excellent fusion, featuring TONY LEVIN - GARY HUSBAND - JACK DEJOHNETTE - DANNY MARKOVICH - TIM GARLAND - GUTHRIE GOVAN - SAAT SYAH - UBIET - RISA SARASWATI - THE CZECH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.

I was too late to order my copy at the time (and the album sold out) which resulted in me having a completely battered digipack / second-hand copy.

But the music is great. Check it out at:
