SIMON GOUBERT RELEASES NEW ALBUM

from Glass Onyon PR

Magma's Simon Goubert Releases New Album "NOUS VERRONS..."

Featuring Stella Vander of Magma!

The voice has always been part of Simon Goubert's life.

First, in the theater background of his childhood, it was spoken in all its forms. Sometimes whispered, other times recited, in the end it was always applauded.

Then it was sung. Whether divine when illuminating György Ligeti’s Lux Aeterna, velvety as Billie Holiday’s or husky like Tina Turner’s, the voice has always transported Simon Goubert... all the way to his meeting Magma.

His ten years collaborating with Christian Vander, whose music revolves around voices, have taught him to fine-tune this very special instrument.

Throughout his career, Simon Goubert has always used the voice, be it singular or plural, subtle or orchestral. But for this album, the musician wanted the voices to be front and center: Stella Vander giving life to Pierre-Michel Sivadier’s lyrics, Annie Ebrel elevating Breton poems and, finally, American rapper and slam poet Mike Ladd.

The instrumentalists are also an eclectic group of kindred spirits, first-rate artists met by Simon Goubert over the decades.

These musicians, whom Simon has always admired, excitedly embarked on this new journey with him. To succeed in this unprecedented adventure, these performers and improvisers have pooled together all of their know-how.

Gathered around Simon Goubert, these artists form an extraordinary band with Michel Edelin (flutes), Vincent Lê Quang (saxophones), Sylvain Kassap (clarinets), Sophia Domancich (piano), Emmanuel Bex (organ) and Hélène Labarrière (double bass).

With all of those talents combined, Simon Goubert has delivered his most beautiful album: the one that most resembles him.

JOSEPH JARMAN

https://www.soundohm.com/product/black-case-volume-i-and-ii-return-from-exile-book/pid/36501/

Joseph Jarman (1937 - 2019) was a saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist best known as a founding member of trailblazing avant-garde jazz group Art Ensemble of Chicago. Jarman was responsible for the Art Ensemble’s signature face paint and elaborate costumes as well as the pioneering theatrical and multimedia elements of their shamanistic performances, which could include dance, comedy, performance art, surreal pranks, and—notably—the recitation of Jarman’s poetry. In 1977, Art Ensemble of Chicago Publishing Co. published Jarman’s Black Case Volume I and II: Return From Exile, a collection of writing conceived across America and Europe between 1960 and 1975.

NEW RESIDENTS STUFF ANNOUNCED ON KLANGGALERIE

Announced :


THE RESIDENTS
Refused
CD album | gg314

The Residents are an American art collective best known for their over 60 studio albums that were recorded over a period of over forty years. They also created some outstanding multimedia works, mainly three CD ROM projects and ten DVDs. Working as an anonymous collective, their identitites were kept secret until in 2017 Hardy Fox revealed himself as their primary composer. Hardy died in October 2018, but the group continue to record and perform. The compilation album Refused was originally released by the band's own Ralph America label in 1999 and collected 11 versions of the track "Santa Dog". For our 2019 Christmas re-issue, we have collected a total of 17 variations and have adapted the original artwork.

Full tracklist:
1. Fire
2. Santa Dog '78
3. Santa Dog '84
4. Santa Dog '84 (Unfinished - A Work In Progress)
5. Santa Dog '88
6. Santa Dog N.Y.E. (Live)

BLACK TAR AND THE CRY BABIES
Black Tar And The Cry Babies
CD album | gg311

Hardy Fox was the primary composer of The Residents. He created an incredible body of work, using all kinds of names other than The Residents, amongst them Combo De Mechanio, Sonidas De La Noche, Dead Eye Dick, Charles Bobuck or Black Tar And The Cry Babies. The Tar projects were generally created to help raise money for needy projects for poverty, mass destruction in fire, and to fight the evil of Trump uprising. Season Of The Witch was released for Halloween 2015 and was available from October 17th to November 2nd of that year as a download only. Left With The Fires was published two years later and was available as a free download from Hardy's bandcamp page. Any donations given were matched dollar by dollar by himself and used to help the Sonoma Humane Society who cares for pets during wildfire disasters. After this, six more songs were released as freebies with the Hacienda Bridge newsletter, but these were ironic sound clips often not even using Hardy's own music. So the three tracks compiled on this album are the complete works composed by Hardy as Black Tar. Hardy never saw this music as a commercial product so we releasing this for Halloween 2019 as a small run CD on Klanggalerie and TOOK in an edition of 300 copies only, available solely through mail order.

Full tracklist:
1. Season Of The Witch
2. Left With The Fires
3. The Fires.

ZAPPA'S HOT RATS BOX SET

Officially announced at Zappa dot com and available in the Zappa dot com store.
And yuripean folks will happy to learn that it will be available through major outlets as well.

Also available: Hot Rats on pink vinyl.
Miss Christine would have liked that, I guess...

The Hot Rats Sessions box set celebrates the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest albums in the history of recorded music. The original 1969 Frank Zappa album was the first to be recorded on a prototype 16-Track Tape Machine. Self described as a "Movie For Your Ears,” it was the first solo outing for the composer and the album that put FZ on the map as a guitar player. The recording sessions produced a wealth of material that ended up being sprinkled among multiple releases during FZ’s lifetime. This mammoth six disc collection documents and compiles every composition recorded during those days in July 1969, along with an abundance of rare mixes, Vault nuggets and complete basic tracks mixed from the original multi-track masters by Craig Parker Adams and mastered by Bob Ludwig in 2019. Additional gems include images by original Hot Rats cover photographer, Andee Nathanson, session photos taken by Bill Gubbins, liner notes by Matt Groening and essays by Ian Underwood, Andee Nathanson and Vaultmeister Joe Travers. The box set also includes a Zappa Land board game in celebration of this release.

NEW SNARKY PUPPY ALBUM ANNOUNCED

You might know that I'm a fan of Snarky Puppy.
If you don't know them, check them out !

Next to their impressive albums (most of which have been recorded live in the studio), Snarky Puppy makes most of their concerts available as downloads.
One of their next scheduled concerts, however, will also be released on CD and on vinyl.
On a 2CD set, and on a 3LP set, to be more precise.

It will be the November 14 concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
I'll catch them a little earlier in Eindhoven (NL).

Three-time Grammy winners Snarky Puppy will be recording their debut Royal Albert Hall show on 14 November, produced by live recording specialists Live Here Now, formerly the live arm of Abbey Road Studios.

There will be an expanded line up performing specially for this night to celebrate our first ever performance at this world-famous iconic venue.

In a first for the band, there will be an exclusive CD version available on the night. The full multi-channel recording will be mixed live on-site in a fully spec-ed Outside Broadcast Audio Truck and will be available to fans as they leave the venue. Limited to just 1000 CDs and 500 prints, these are exclusively available from the Hall’s webshop and at the show itself

We are also producing some fantastic, exclusive limited-edition recordings and merchandise including a Deluxe Triple Coloured Vinyl and a A5 Hard Back Audio Photobook. These and much more are available to pre-order now at the Live Here Now webshop.

TERRY RILEY'S 'IN C'

A bit too calm for me but a lot of people seemed to like it.

VINNIE COLAIUTA

Vinnie Colaiuta performs on the new album by Mike Stern and Jeff Lorber, "Eleven".

http://exystence.net/blog/2019/09/30/mike-stern-jeff-lorber-fusion-eleven-2019/

Eleven is a record co-led by fusion giants Mike Stern and Jeff Lorber. It features ten songs (Stern laughingly stated that he never was very good at math) which are a mix of originals and reworked vintage. Stern was also quoted as saying that he and Lorber are from “different orbits.” One thing they do have in common is their highly melodic songwriting sensibilities. Having fun merging their sounds was the focus of this project. The other constant on the record is bassist Jimmy Haslip. Drummers Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta and Gary Novak all make strong contributions.

ELÄKELÄISET - HUMPPAMARATOONI

• eläkeläiset: humppamaratooni
      (1997, cd, finland, stupido twins twincd 38)

Originally released on the Finnish Stupido Records label on CD and-released on CD and on vinyl on the German Humppa Records label, “Humppamaratooni” was an album by Eläkeläiset, a Finnish band that transforms famous rock songs into humppa, a two-beat, tuba-driven style of music.

The German reissue of Eläkeläiset’s “Humppamaratooni” album was called “Humppa ‘Till We Die 2000”, the subtitle of the original release. The artwork differs slightly as the original title and subtitle have been swapped on the album cover.

I recently got hold of the original Finnish album. Data has been added to the United Mutations Archives.
