Two very cool soundtracks from the legendary team of Guido & Maurizio DeAngelis – back to back on in a single set! The soundtrack to Keoma is a weird mixture of instrumental tunes that feature piano, guitar, and harmonica, sort of in a spaghetti western mode, but with more of a groovy Italian approach – and played by the wonderful Franco De Gemini – then balanced out by two vocal tunes, one with vocals by male singer Guy, who almost hits a Leonard Cohen style – the other as a duet with female singer Sybil. Il Cacciatore Di Squali follows up the style – featuring a great vocal number by The Sharks, plus some instrumentals with a range of instrumentation, including a bit of smooth electric work that's maybe more fitting for the 1979 date of the film. Titles include "Keoma", "Otra Fiesta", "Nebuige", "In Front Of My Desperation", "Dusty Banjo", and "Waiting For". LP, Vinyl record album

A very cool album that has Tito leaving his more traditional Afro Cuban groove for a more Brazilian style! Tito and band do some nicely groovy versions of bossa standards and more obscure material – including "Otra Vez", "Doralice", "O Pato", "Un Abraco No Bonfa", "Un Domingo Sin Ti", "Se E Tarde Me Perdoa", and "Arrastra Sandalia". The sound is better than you'd expect, thanks to some very lively percussion players in Tito's band, and thanks to a very nice (and unnamed) reed player who serves up some tasty flute and tenor solos!

Electronic pop grooves from Chicago's Alla – a Mexican American group that sings in Spanish, but whose love of 60s exotica and 90s European and Brit grooves have no territorial boundaries whatsoever! The group certainly shares influences with (and perhaps a pretty strong influence from) Stereolab – with some lovely Spanish and wordless harmonies, warm beds of electronics, lilting acoustic guitar, groovy rhythms and percussion. "Una Dia Otra Noche", "Un Pedazo", "Tu Y Yo", "Tu Vida", "Sigue Tu Corazon", "Sazanami", "La Montana Sagrada", "El Movimiento", "Es Tiempo", "Golpes Del So" and more. CD

An incredible batch of prime garage rock era nuggets from the Peruvian scene – fuzzy gems by the Saicos! The Saicos bring a sense of menace to these tunes – with a guitar tone touched with an eerie vibe, and lead vocals that are really piercing and gravelly in that instills this primordial edge that needs to be heard to be believed – but that balance it off with some moddish, British invasion grooves, too. The overall sound manages to blend both the heavy menace of cult acts like the Monks and the Seeds with the tunefulness of the Animals – and clear precursor the garage punk for decades to come! Titles include "Come On (Ven Aqui)", "Ana", "Demolicion", "Lonely Star (Estrella Solitaria)", "Cememterio", "Te Amo", "Fugitivo De Alcatraz", "Salvaje", "El Entierro De Los Gatos", "Besando A Otra" and "Intensamente". Comes with a great booklet, too! LP, Vinyl record album

One of Cortijo's excellent groovers for the Coco label – a straight bit of hard-hitting salsa, with vocals by Fe Cortijo, and instrumentation by a tight small group that includes Victor Paz, Mario Bauza, Ronnie Cuber, and Eddie Martinez. Charlie Palmieri produced – and titles include "Lloralo Lloralo", "Mapeye", "La Otra", "Songorocosongoro", "and "Guariquiten". LP, Vinyl record album

Arranged by Joe Cain – with cuts that include "Mas", "Noche De Lluvia", "Otra Vez Adios", "Vas", "Hoy", "Tocame", and "En Un Rincon Del Alma". LP, Vinyl record album

... 7-inch, Vinyl record

A legendary project from Tortoise – kind of the "part 1.5" to their tremendous debut – as it features material from that record, remixed by members of the group and other key figures on the Chicago scene – all as a real testament to the many criss-crossing styles and modes that were taking place during these key post-rock years! The original material was performed by the version of the group that featured Bundy K Brown, John Herndon, John McIntire, Doug McCombs, and Dan Bitney – and remixes are by McEntire and Brown from the group – plus Steve Albini, Brad Wood, Casey Rice, Jim O'Rourke, Rick Brown, and even Mike Watt! Titles include "Alcohall", "Your New Rod", "Cobwebbed", "Tin Cans (Puerto Rican mix)", "Initial Gesture Protraction", "The Match Incident", and "Not Quite East Of The Ryan". LP, Vinyl record album

A real superstore of sonic delights from Sam Gendel – an album that's very different than some of his jazz-based work, and which is instead more of a follow-up to his similar album Fresh Bread! Like that one, the cuts here are all short, and put together with a range of instruments that move beyond Sam's core saxophone work – still with sax in the mix, but also electronics, keyboards, beats, and plenty plenty more – almost as if Gendel's trying to create one of those old school records of shorter tracks for DJs to sample! Yet there's also a lot more going on here than just loops – as you'll hear on the record's 34 tracks that include "Quad", "Suzuki Mini", "Squid", "Valley Park", "Cats Is Sad", "Surfside", "Pan", "Pinwheel", "Otramusica", and "La Guerra Di Piero".
