amoeba doesn't have 'this is rong music' because it's japan only, and i don't have a regular connection when it comes to that stuff. i get offered the odd 'hit album with extra track' sort of thing but when i do get offered something special and japan-only, it's usually through one of my regular sources.

that said, we do lots of business with different japanese distros, just not for the electronic section. i need to change that, apparently. :)

if you really want the rong comp, vahid (or anyone else), let me know and i'll see if i can track it down for you. otherwise i'm going to wait for a domestic release (and i'll ask ben cook if there's ever going to be one).
is there any other juicy japan-only disco stuff i should know about?

seconded on the ottoman empire, if possible...i'm also after mp3's of the second 12" as well, since the ones up on oink were recorded at half speed. i'm another dimension at geem@il dot com etc.

and Klubb Kebabb is the shit! for 'Africa' alone!

Mule Musiq

― Michael F Gill, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 07:27 (nineteen years ago)

actually if you would check out the possibility of hooking up the rong comp i'd be much obliged

― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 07:36 (nineteen years ago)

We get the Mule stuff, it's not Japan-only. We've got the Kuniyuki Takahashi as well as the Optimo mix CD in stock now.

vahid -- i'll check in in the next few days and let you know.

― BATTAGS, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 08:37 (nineteen years ago)

Speaking of Mule, they've got a second installment in their mix series (after Optimo's [i]Walkabout[i]) coming up soon, mixed by Force of Nature. Should be interesting.

― Telephone thing, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

it would be cool if amoeba carried stuff from music mine

― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

also please get hip to [url=[Removed Illegal Link]

by coincidence, i just got word that we'll be getting both the Mudd and This is Rong Music 2CD at the end of the month, so look for them then...

― BATTAGS, Thursday, 10 May 2007 04:34 (nineteen years ago)

not exactly disco-ey, but you might like Japanese Synchro System

― the table is the table, Thursday, 10 May 2007 04:42 (nineteen years ago)

How about that Lindstrom/Prins Thomas essential mix?

-- littlewhiteearbuds, Monday, May 7, 2007 4:24 PM (6 days ago)

pretty amazing! love that new faze action song

― deej, Monday, 14 May 2007 02:01 (nineteen years ago)

so when should i expect reports of map of africa's lp?

― BleepBot, Monday, 14 May 2007 04:20 (nineteen years ago)

dunno, but the interesting news i got today is that Garth (of Wicked/Grayhound records fame) has paired up with 'so old-school that most so-called old-school people don't know who he is' James Glass and his fricking amazing record collection to start a new edits label, called Golden Goose.

"GOLDEN GOOSE 1

We thought it high time for a connoisseur's label for disco/rock re-edits.

Golden Goose was born in San Francisco of a shared passion for top notch
dance music.

Spliced and diced for today's dancefloors with the utmost respect for the
originals. You won't find these edits dripping in modern effects or combining
different sources. What you will find is careful, tasteful rearrangement.

No expense will be spared on mastering and pressing so these lost gems can be
played out in all their glory by discerning selectors.

For this first release we offer two songs...

A: STRANGER IN THE CITY
B: MIDNIGHT GIRL

Side A features a 70's rock vocal over a slow balearic funk beat. Urgent
lyrics speak of hard times in a big city.

Side B is an altogether lighter affair. Funky uptempo bass drives a male
vocal expressing a late night disco longing.

Edits by KING & HOUND.

King (James Glass) is a serious collector/DJ of quality dance music
encompassing everything from soul-inflected disco rarities to drugged up
Baldelli cosmic classics.

Hound (Garth) is an internationally renown DJ/producer and owns the Grayhound
label. With almost 50 years collecting between them these fellas have deep
crates... more to follow."

sign me the fuck up.

― BATTAGS, Monday, 14 May 2007 04:28 (nineteen years ago)

who is james glass?

― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 14 May 2007 04:52 (nineteen years ago)

he ran tweekin' with darren davis in the early early 90's, then quit and basically disappared from public view. he's been DJ'ing again recently, his set from last month's gun club was out of control...

― BATTAGS, Monday, 14 May 2007 04:58 (nineteen years ago)

how excited can you really get for an edits label

― Michael F Gill, Monday, 14 May 2007 09:02 (nineteen years ago)

This has me mighty excitey:

Dirty Space Disco

― Telephone thing, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:20 (nineteen years ago)

i've been meaning to post this too. they've sent out a few emails a week about it.

― jaxon, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:48 (nineteen years ago)

bootleg? I thought all the sylvester stuff was owned by Unidisc who are notorious for not licensing...

― dan selzer, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 00:02 (nineteen years ago)

didn't that sylvester track just show up on that jazzanova comp jaxon was pumping upthread?

it was on the permamnent vacation mix cd too.

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 00:09 (nineteen years ago)

jazzanova comp

released like only 3-4 weeks ago?

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 00:10 (nineteen years ago)

fern kinney's "groove me" is exceptionally cosmic.

glad to see no alan parsons on that comp.

i can't wait for that "computer incantations" comp ...

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 00:15 (nineteen years ago)

its out!

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 00:20 (nineteen years ago)

A freind dropped this on me the other night:

Andreas Vollenweider - Behind The Gardens ... Behind The Wall ... Under The Tree ...

Fucking GREAT swiss harpist balearic fusion smoked out electro acoustic voyage....

e2-e4 has just had some sort of 25th anniversary reissue, don't think there's any extra material though.

― haitch, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 01:06 (nineteen years ago)

the 'computer incantations' album is out on vinyl, CD due in the next 2/3 weeks i believe.

does anyone remember when andreas vollenweider was pretty much universally loathed? my co-workers reminded me that CTI was the same way once upon a time...

― BATTAGS, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 01:37 (nineteen years ago)

i had never heard of him before this weekend.

i have never worked in a record store though.

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 02:14 (nineteen years ago)

seriously more than half of the things i listen to now i loathed only a couple of years ago.

― jaxon, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 02:17 (nineteen years ago)

fern kinney's "groove me" is exceptionally cosmic.

i really love 'baby let me kiss you'. especially for the kissy sounds she makes towards the end. and her sweet soul girl group voice. and that percussion in the middle. sort of a weird tune, like when i play it i tend to think it may be too slow for people to dance to but usually gets them moving with that subliminal groove.

― jaime, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 07:05 (nineteen years ago)

speaking of e2e4, does anyone know of any further news regarding the james murphy/manuel gottsching beef?

― creme1, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 07:41 (nineteen years ago)

(apologies if it has been discussed already, but this is a big old thread)

― creme1, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 07:42 (nineteen years ago)

As far as I know it's not mutual; Gottsching got pissy about being cited as an influence and about the resemblance between the covers of 45:33 and E2-E4. I dunno, I love Gottsching but it's kind of hard to take his side here.

http://www.ashra.com/pages/lcd.htm

― Telephone thing, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 08:03 (nineteen years ago)

that site has gotta be a joke, right? i mean:

23 years after its first release, the famous "E2-E4" design exists not only on CD and LP covers, but is sold worldwide on all kinds of merchandising such as bags, jackets, shirts, towels and coffee mugs - in several color variations, but always with light and dark squares just like on a chessboard (the title of Manuel Goettsching's album "E2-E4" is a reference to one of the most popular opening moves in chess)

c'mon now...

― jermainetwo, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 08:12 (nineteen years ago)

it is a chess move.

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 09:04 (nineteen years ago)

That press release is dated April 1, 2007.

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 09:10 (nineteen years ago)

Thas ashra press statement is so completely idiotic. It's freaking hommage and Gottshing is going to sell a lot more records thanks to this.

― dan selzer, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 11:36 (nineteen years ago)

agreed, but it was probably an april fools joke.

NOT FUNNY.

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

the japanese seem to be particularly e2-e4 crazy. last time i was there i saw all sorts of e2-e4 merchandise. the scarves were particularly popular.

― stirmonster, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 17:15 (nineteen years ago)

someone write a press release from the makers of chess & checker boards telling dude to step off his high horse. (unless it is a joke)

― jaxon, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

does anyone remember when andreas vollenweider was pretty much universally loathed?

sure, I do. but on the other hand (correct me if I'm wrong) the dude has like a hundred records and only two or three of them are godd ... right? or have I been passing up tons of great stuff at the thrift stores?

I got that Mock & Toof rvng record. the Wire edit is kind of useless imo but the other two are great, esp. the southern boogie rock space jam. track 3 is like afro-beat but I don't know the original of that one either.

― dmr, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 18:37 (nineteen years ago)

two or three of them are good, that is

― dmr, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 18:37 (nineteen years ago)

re the checkerboard beef, nike used the checkerboard back when in their logos. i can't find a pic, but my tennis shoes circa '85 or so had the board on the tongue. so...

― andrew m., Tuesday, 15 May 2007 19:03 (nineteen years ago)

fuck nike, gottsching needs to go after VANS!

― BATTAGS, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

i agree with dmr on mock and toof 12".

i just ordered their new 12" on Mule Music: online shop samples sounded pretty good.

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

alexander robotnick friday in SF (not really beardo but not sure where else to put it)

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 22:01 (nineteen years ago)

hey, so apparently quiet village signed to virgin for an lp? any news on that? can't remember if it's been discussed here

oh yeah, robotnick in toronto on sat (italo thread more appropriate but whatever)

― jaime, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 22:07 (nineteen years ago)
