Father Figure / Congratulations On Your Loss (2012)

Ok, this one is huge.

During my last research for new music I wasn't finding something that I liked enough to be worth writing about.

Then, click after click, this album came out.

I admit that I've never listened to a lot of jazz. My fault, but after a while it gets me bored. And it's a shame, because, rhythms and sounds are great. Instead, I love post/math/nonsense rock.

So, when I first listened to one of these tracks, starting jazzy smooth then going mad with rhyhm like listening to a vinyl while driving on a moon like surface, well, the only thing I could do was listening to the second track. Discovering that basslines were great, and I loved them, deep but very clear and "agile". So I went on another track, but at this point I had already understood that this album is great, and that this time was worth write something.

So, believe me, if it's worth to write about it, it means that is a lot more worth make another thing

Listen.

PS: this time we also have a clip!

What?? I forgot to say that this GREAT album is also FREE? Well, now I've said it.

Youngblood Brass Band / Center:Level:Roar (2003)

I'm back. Sorry, but there are some weeks when you really ask yourself why days have only 24 hours.

Well, let's talk about music and dance about architecture.

We all think that brass instruments are great. I have to admit that they have an energy that strings instruments haven't. Therefore, brass bands are also great. But isn't always like this. Maybe we associate brass band to national celebrations, old songs played every time in the same way, and things like this(well, I don't know if it's really like this that the most of the people sees brass bands, but I have to write something so please forgive me).

Wouldn't be very GREAT a brass band playing new, modern, groovy songs?

The god of brass had listen to your wishes.

The answer is Youngblood Brass Band. And is a very loud answer.

You have what you wished: new, ultra-groovy songs, with brass instruments! Really, is impossible not to MOVE, MOVE, MOVE and get ultra-excited while listening to their freaky drummer(that we can also hear on the precedently posted Cougar's record). Believe me. Oh, and maybe you would like some rapping, some INTELLIGENT rapping, over this music. Well, is all inside this album.

Just. Listen.

And support these guys, that are also active in schools for spreading love for music.

Beef Wellington / Feel Fantabulous (2002)

Prepare for a mystical travel in time today. We go back to 2002 for discovering this album.

Beef Wellington is a producer, and I can't find more infos on him. But all you need to know is in his work.

This album is a perfetc mixture of jazz, soul and bouncy funk sound and rhythm, united toghether in very modern and original ways, seasoned with great rapped parts by various artists. You can't find a single wrong beat in here, and I'm sure you will appreciate this album even if you don't like rap, because this CD is much more than classic hip hop.

Really, you WANT listen to this album.

Jazzscapez / Free Your Mind volumes

Well, let's begin.

This is my first post. First music for all the readers will get here.

Jazzscapez was a very promising hip hop producer and rapper. Like his name says, his instrumental are very jazzy and relaxing, but also very bouncing.

I said WAS because he died not so long ago. For what I read, he runnedin in direction of some policemen with a machete in his hand. They killed it. But I don't know the story very well, and it's not corret to talk when you don't know real facts.

Anyway, his project was to publish one instrumental volume every month. We sadly only have three of it (for previewing before download check Jazzscapez's Bandcamp) :


Volume 1

Volume 2

Volume 3


Also, check this great selection by "Crates of AG" blog



Rest in peace
