Carlos y Gaby - La voz sabia de los cosmos

Carlos Niño has himself quite the career going. He’s half of Ninja Tune’s AmmonContact with Fabian Ammon Alston, a third of Hu Vibrational, the leader of the Build An Ark collective, and played a major role in the Dwight Trible supporting Life Force Trio, among several other collaborations. Up from that, he’s played the role of producer for the likes of Mia Doi Todd, Go: Organic Orchestra, and dozens more. Many of those projects have seen him work with gorgeous vocalist and apt keyboardist Gaby Hernandez.

Gaby and Carlos formed a bond over their work. They had been corresponding for several years as a result, trading bits of poetry and script, which would eventually make up the base of La Voz Sabia De Los Cosmos. Like the Emperor Norton released Logan’s Sanctuary, this album is the soundtrack to a sci-fi film that never happened, in this case the detail of a spaceship journey following great lovers in search of far out worlds. It’s Niño’s typical brand of cinematic world beats awash in obscure samples, nonsensical field recordings, and bloopy, retro-futuristic synths. All of this paints a vivid picture of otherworldly realms as intriguing and evocative as the sexually liberated individuals discovering them. This unique voyage will not mark the last time these two work together. Gawd speed.

Jean-Pierre Massiera (Horrific Child)- L'Etrange Mr Whinster

Strange and incredible mid 70s atmospherics from Jean-Pierre Massiera -- dark atmospherics that roll from heady psyche rock to cerebral funk and proggy dynamics -- taken to a far deeper dimension thanks to Massiera's hypnotic use of tape samples and layered vocal errata! It's amazing how much is going on here, especially given that the feverish hypnotic effects never lag -- as wild and tripped out as it gets, the hold it has on your sensory processors never lags! Billed as a Gallic concept album, it may very well be that, but we can only speak for the visceral thrills -- which it has, and many to spare!
