MUSIC ON THE DESERT ROAD: TURKEY, SYRIA, JORDAN, IRAQ, IRAN, AFGHANISTAN, PAKISTAN, INDIA. A SOUND TRAVELOGUE BY DEBEN BHATTACHARYA
This sampler of sounds was recorded during an overland journey that looped from England to India and then back again, ending in Paris. Although kicking off without any music from the UK, and ending without any from France, it is nevertheless a stunning collection of field recordings from a 1955-56 excursion by Deben Bhattacharya.
Published by Angel Records (mainly a classical label), this 1956 release must have been a mesmerising snack plate for the armchair traveler/world music enthusiast. There are some stunning performances here that range from unaccompanied vocals to instrumentals with vocals, in particular the last track from India where a father and daughter sing a heart wrenching duet tapping cleanly into the source. In spite of the seemingly diverse range of music, you hear all the common threads you might expect from regions that, although politically and geographically separated, share common roots serving as a testimony to the beautifully interconnected patterns of the almighty folk continuum. From the liner notes:
“The music on this record represents selected pieces from a collection of over forty hours of recording made during an overland journey to India. The journey started from London in the middle of August, 1955, and ended in Paris by the following March. The rate of progress was fairly slow and my plans flexible in order to cope with the caprices and spirit of the musicians whose greatness lies in their skill in improrvising within traditional themes. In every country though which I passed, I found a living tradition of folk music, each folk musician leaving his individual mark upon the music of the country. These continuous but small additions and alterations are the natural spirit and life of folk song and music. Rigid laws and revivalism seem to push it towards artificiality and destruction.”

I regret that I will never be able to scroll down onto this album art for the first time ever again.

These New Puritans - Navigate, Navigate
--- Quote from: Prefix Mag ---Spanning an audacious 12 and a half minutes, "Navigate, Navigate" is not the work of a polished young band, so much as a wildly ambitious one. Not content to spread their ideas out over the greedy runtime, vocals constantly overlap and interrupt each other, rendering everything an extremely messy but nearly harmonic jumble. The magic trick here is that there aren't any big structural changes as the song progresses; there's similar guitar scrapes coming and going and the same brittle drumbeat throughout. All that happens is that the pieces subtly slide to recombine in an ever changing pattern, but it's magnetically compelling anyway. Twelve minutes of skittish beats and impenetrable bleats, held together with nothing but patches of empty space. Yet, it rules.

Enabl.ed - Dips33 EP
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Fresh in from Concrete Plastic, six-track EP of acrobatic digital IDM from Jimmy Batista aka Enabl.ed. These six tracks hark back to the spirit of Ae circa LP5 or the hardcore glitches of Richard Devine, arranging complex feats of programming dexterity with a lushly melodic core powering the whole thing forward.

It's like Planet Mu IDM circa 2003 all over again, but with better production. Pretty ace!
