Thai Pop Spectacular

Thai pop history has been largely ignored and neglected by the international musical community for far too long. By the late 20th century, Thai pop music had developed as many faces as localized roots music such as Molam or styles like Luk Thung or Luk Krung, (each with their own respective pop-sectors). Bangkok – always the hub of the Thai recording industry – attracted musicians and singers from across the country that were both informed by tradition and inspired by the wealth of international sounds entering the region via radio and phonograph. Jazz, for instance, had a profound influence on early Thai pop music, the King of Thailand himself being a noted Jazz composer.
This superb collection features modern Thai music styles combining with elements of surf, rock, funk, disco and comedy, revealing the use of clever instrumentation, brilliant vocals, great arrangements, twisted breaks, and resourceful production techniques. Discover the Queen of Luk Thung, the 1960s “Shadow Music” sound, classic tracks from Thai films, blazing examples of Bangkok disco from the 1970s, legendary Thai comedy Pop, and the most outrageous version of "The Night Chicago Died" you'll ever encounter. Thick horn sections, wah-wah guitars, tight drums, and funky organs help round out this astounding set which proves beyond a doubt that the Thai were a completely unique and powerful force during the 1960's, 70's & 80's global popular music explosion.

AHMED JAN THIRAKWA

Ustad Ahmed Jan Thirakwa is considered one of the greatest tabla players of the 20th century. He is known for his mastery over most of the different tabla gharanas, and was one of the first tabla players to elevate the art of playing tabla solo to an art in its own right.

He was born to a family of musicians in 1892 in Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh state in northern India. Although his early musical training was in Hindustani vocals and the sarangi, his interest in tabla was aroused when he heard the famous Ustad Munir Khan. He became Munir Khan's disciple at the age of 12.


The name Thirakwa is not actually his original name, but was an epithet he earned from his guru's father. One day, while watching him practise, his guru's father remarked that he played so well his fingers seemed to be "shimmering" on the tabla. This earned him the nickname Thirakwa (shimmering).

Tony Hatch

Tony Hatch (born Anthony Peter Hatch, 30 June 1939, Pinner, Middlesex, England) is an English composer, songwriter, pianist, music arranger, and producer. Allmusic journalist, Richie Unterberger, states "Hatch had success in various segments of the entertainment industry from the 1960s onwards, but he will be best remembered for his work as a producer and songwriter for several British pop and rock stars in the 1960s. As a staff producer at Pye Records, Hatch worked with The Searchers, Petula Clark, his wife Jackie Trent and on several mid 1960s singles by David Bowie, long before that singer had become famous. Hatch's productions boasted a clean and well-arranged sound that, particularly on his collaborations with Petula Clark, displayed some traces of mainstream pop and Broadway. [wikipedia]


Bloarzyed - Rocket Science

Bloarzeyd A relentless assault of prehistorically loud, growling bass and tightly controlled, complex drum patterns. Phil sings. Live, the band's sophisticated, unpredictable, tight, razor sharp performance is loud enough to reach obscene proportions and has seen people running to the exits and becoming physically ill. But you know, they're smiling the whole time. Think: Godheadsilo with jazzy interludes, Unsane noise, feedback in general, the Kids In the Hall...

Deity Guns

Comment aborder un groupe aussi artistiquement énorme que Deity Guns, à posteriori aussi indispensable pour l’histoire de la musique dans l’hexagone que le furent –et le sont encore- Sonic Youth à la musique américaine ? Simplement peut-être, en prenant conscience que ni l’un ni l’autre ne saurait se contenter d’une appartenance géographique et que c’est bien d’Art dont nous parlons.


Oui, en amont, on est bien obligé de citer les New-yorkais puisque c’est Lee Ranaldo lui-même qui a produit Trans Lines Appointments, seul et unique album de Deity Guns. On trouve, en effet, chez les Lyonnais comme chez Sonic Youth, ce même profond désir de faire table rase des conventions sonores et des options classiques à la construction d’une "chanson". Une même urgence à exprimer, avant tout, un ressenti et une pensée qui ne peuvent se résumer à un texte posé sur une structure classique de couplet/refrain. Les méandres de la souffrance, de la violence comme de la passion amoureuse, les méandres de la vie, les méandres du cerveau humain ne peuvent créer qu’une musique qui, en partant des coups reçus en plein ventre atteignent la moelle épinière pour finir par toucher le cortex cérébral. Deity Guns, dès ses débuts, a mis le doigt sur l’essentiel de la musique : l’émotion pure.


La forme, évidemment chez Deity Guns, est partagée entre violence et tristesse, entre hardcore et expérimentation bruitiste, entre besoin de tout sortir de soi et envie de se recroqueviller sur sa sensation intime. Comme un débutant sur le chemin de la sagesse ayant besoin de jeter hors de lui cette violence qui l’habite pour espérer la sérénité.

D’autres groupes en France ont pris ce chemin, tels les Sister Iodine, Ulan Bator, voire Portobello Bones, Prohibition et même Kill The Thrill ou les éphémères Hydrolic System. Mais Deity Guns est une pierre angulaire de ce chemin artistique. Ce groupe a montré que la voie de l’émotion était aussi possible « chez nous », et que le plus important dans une musique était ce qu’on avait à exprimer de soi.


Maintenant, quand on regarde la nébuleuse du label Constellation, tout semble évident : Godspeed You Black Emperor, The Silver Mt. Zion et autres Fly Pan Am utilisent un chemin totalement parallèle où la recherche musicale n’est jamais froide et technique mais au contraire empreinte de sensations intimes et terriblement fortes.
De la même manière que les Canadiens, Eric Aldéa, l’homme central de Deity Guns, continuera ses recherches en solo ou dans Narcophony avec Ivan Chiossonne. Les deux retrouvant Franck Laurino, présent dans Deity Guns, au sein du projet Cutting Flat et surtout, dès le début des 90’s, dans les incontournables et indispensables Bästard avec François Guilleron. Ce noyau dur de quatre musiciens se croisent encore dans Spade & Archer avant de se retrouver, surtout, dans l’actuel Zëro.

Deity Guns était la centrale nucléaire d’origine de ce courant nouveau né à Lyon. Son électricité circule encore, toujours puissante et dérangeante dans les jacks et les guitares de Zëro et l’esprit de chacun de ses musiciens. Ici d’Ailleurs nous donne l’occasion de revenir à la source de cette famille musicale qui, comme Sonic Youth, avance par sa propre énergie en en nourrissant tout ceux qui les écoutent. Un coffret monument, un coffret événement pour une intégrale d’un des groupes majeurs ayant pu naître de notre côté de la planète. Indispensable. [article : Silvère Vincent ]

Asa Chang & Junray

Asa Chang & Junray is the band of the Japanese percussionist Asa Chang, who was the founder and original bandmaster of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. After leaving that group in 1993, he formed Asa Chang & Junray in 1998 with programmer and guitarist Hidehiko Urayama. They were joined in 2000 by tabla player U-zhaan. Live, the group use a portable soundsystem called 'Jun-Ray Tronics', hence the name — although the word 'junray' also means 'pilgrimage'.

In 2002, the British label The Leaf Label released Jun Ray Song Chang, which compiled the group's first two, Japan-only albums. It was followed a year later by the mini album, Tsu Gi Ne Pu. The group's song 'Hana' was featured on Fabric Live 07, while 'Tsu Gi Ne Pu' was included on a The Wire Tapper CD. The group's most recent album, 2005's Minna no Junray, featured vocals by singer and actress Kyōko Koizumi. It has not been released overseas. [wikipedia]

Rita Abadzi


With her "smoky, sensuous, contralto" vocals set to the melodic strains of oud and gypsy-esque violin, Rita Abadzi was one of the most successful rembetika (acoustic Greek blues) during the '30s. Her first recordings in 1932 followed the initial releases of her contemporary, Roza Eskenazi, by two years. Throughout the '30s, recordings by Abadzi and Eskenazi were combined and released as double-sided singles. As the popularity of rembetika waned in the '40s, Abadzi faded from the limelight.
