Short info:

Taken from the movie ‘Le Bel Été’, written and directed by Pierre Creton, this new album from The Limiñanas is the first OST written by Lionel Limiñanas. The main theme ‘One Blood Circle’ features French pop legend Etienne Daho.

Lionel Limiñana about writing this soundtrack:
"We met Pierre during the Shadow People tour, he came to the concert and wrote to us asking for music for his film "Le Bel Été". Pierre sent me the script. I thought I didn't have time to work because of the tour but I took a three-day break to give it a try. I wrote a theme and then two, three...... I had a work base and I was able to continue at the hotel or in the band's van, which explains why the music is very electronic. I invited Ivan Telefunken, Pascal Comelade's Catalan guitarist, to play on some melodies. When we arrived in St Malo for La Route du Rock festival we met Etienne Daho with whom we had wanted to work for a long time. We played the script to Etienne and the demo of "One Blood Circle", the main theme of " Le Bel Été". Etienne worked on the text and quickly returned to the studio in Paris to record his voice and choirs. The O.S.T. was done."

The Limiñanas are a couple and a band. They have produced records in their own garage in Cabestany located in the south of France for about ten years. They played in Australia, the US and toured Europe regularly. United Kingdom included. The first opus of the now series "I have trouble in mind" was released on the initiative of Bill and Lisa Roe (iconic label "trouble in mind") in the US in 2014. It combines all the 45t , unreleased songs recorded by the couple for "Mojo magazine", tribute to Beach Boys, fanzines, micro labels. All the titles which were difficult to find and that fans were looking for.

And now, here it is: I ve got trouble in mind vol 2.


The Limiñanas now work mainly with the European label "Because music". Thanks to their common forces, 3 albums were released. «Traité de guitarre Triolectique» with Pascal Comelade, "Malamore", which was a tribute to Dino Risi and in 2018 "Shadow People" in the company of the American psychedelic pope Anton Newcombe. Marie and Lio work a lot, they record all the time and love 45t, maxi's and still collaborate with small labels from around the world for specific projects like the traditional song of Christmas "Convenanza "from Andrew Weatherall. In this second opus some covers of their favorite titles will be available. The lords of the new church "Russia"n roulette", "two sisters" from the Kinks which is the first song recorded with Anton and remixed by the American producer of the first White Stripes album Jim Diamond. "Live will Tell" from Polnareff, a tribute to "Suicide" recorded in Australia from the live version of the band and many others. The artwork was designed by Elric Duffau, as for the first volume.


Small bonus: the two album covers placed side by side complement each other for a single piece.

Short info:
“What was old is new again”… The old adage is so tired that nobody takes its proper measure: all people
hear is the word “old”, when the important one is “new”. Making new things out of old things is an act of
alchemy.
The proof is in this fifth album – no rest for the wicked of Perpignan – which is blown right open here and
there by a few very contemporary guests. After the opener, ‘Ouverture’, with its almost surf-like guitars,
comes ‘Le Premier Jour’, where Lionel Limiñana talks about his rock baptism with the punks, the mods,
the skinheads and the Lambrettas of his youth in the South of France. What comes just after is the
seismic shock of ‘Istanbul is Sleepy’: the Imprimatur of Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown
Massacre is simply enormous.
Then comes Emmanuelles Seigner’s super sexy tornado on the title track; and ‘Dimanche’ follows, with
Bertrand Belin. Lionel sees him as a “French Nick Cave who writes songs that resemble films.”. ‘The Gift’
features Peter Hook who scrapes his bass guitar again here; obviously a song reminiscent of an early
period New Order. Finally, the Limiñanas on their own send out an instrumental cavalcade with a furious
beat, like a Kraut Morricone, ‘Motorizzati Marie’ followed by ‘Pink Flamingos’, introduced with psych rock
pads played backwards forming a vaporous song bathed in acoustic arpeggios. A respite in the album…
before the fuzz and the abyssal bass of ‘Trois Bancs’ violently shakes the ghost of Gainsbourg: an
electroshock in talk over. And to close the scene, a love message: ‘De La Part Des Copains’; its organ, its
tambourine, its quaver and its brass place it in the classic soundtrack category revered by the band. An
ideal conclusion for this incredible faultless record. The rock’n’roll epiphany thus continues. It belongs to
those who will listen – full blast – to Shadow People and will doubtless feel the urge to plug a guitar into an
amp. A valve amp, of course.

Short info:
French psych duo The Limiñanas today released their new single 'Istanbul Is Sleepy' through Because Music. Featuring Anton Newcombe (The Brian Jonestown Massacre) and produced at his Berlin studio, the single is taken from their 'Istanbul Is Sleepy' EP out 17th November. The band, who are set to release a new album early next year, will play their debut London show at Oslo on 5th October. Directed by Jean Luc Moly, the moody, Sixties-inspired video to 'Istanbul Is Sleepy' premiered on Brooklyn Vegan: link here

Reflecting on the single and their collaboration with Newcombe, Lionel explained, "'Istanbul Is Sleepy' is like the classic dream where you become the hero, the Captain Blood or Midnight Sultan(??). The one who rescues and seduces Maureen O'Hara or Ava Gardner. Anton is singing and playing guitar on the track. He was inspired, in particular, by The Cult during their 'Rain' period. Last year, Mojo magazine asked us to record a cover for a special Kinks tribute. We chose 'Two Sisters'. Marie and I were thinking for the vocal part it would be great to approach Anton Newcombe, having opened for The Brian Jonestown Massacre at Le Trianon in Paris. The work began like that. We had an album to record and we decided to finish it with him. During the Christmas week we took our demos, flew to Berlin and recorded at Anton's studio. Six days later we had a finished album".

One of France's most beloved treasures, The Limiñanas are Marie (drums/vocals) and Lionel (guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals). Hailing from Perpignan, the duo straddles the boundary between psych, shoegaze, and yé-yé. With hazy, reverb-laden hooks, combined at times with noisy distortion, and fronted by effortlessly cool vocals, reminiscent of Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot, the band is at once timeless and quintessentially French.

B/ THE LIMIÑANAS - GARDEN OF LOVE (ANDREW WEATHERALL REMIX - MARDI MOUILLÉ)

Short info:

Following the success of their 4th album 'Malamore' released in April this year, French duo The Limiñanas have now trusted London star DJ, producer and friend Andrew Weatherall to remix the flagship single Garden Of Love (feat. Peter Hook). The collaboration has resulted in two unique remixes.

"When we released "Je Ne Suis Pas Très Drogue" in 2009, Andrew played it in his radio show in London. Then Bernie Fabre contacted me because Andrew wanted us to play in his festival De La City A La Cité in Carcassone. That's how we met. When we worked with Peter Hook, the idea of a maxi with one or two remixes made sense. So we did this record with the original edit of "Garden Of Love" and two remix edits by Andrew Weatherall." - Lionel Limiñana

GATEFOLD LP incl CD - "Garden of Love" one of the first single tracks feat Peter Hook (New Order)

On the cover of their new album Malamore, their first album for Because Music, Lionel and Marie Limiñanas are back in black, and looking ineffably cool, standing next to a classic silver Fifties trailer, shot at a beach festival in the French town of Paulilles by the Spanish border, just 30 minutes drive from the duo's home town of Perpignan. They'd been playing a DJ set, "only with 45 rpm vinyl - Sixties punk, Italian pop, movie soundtracks and Seventies rock tracks," they recall. "The picture syncs well to the colour of Malamore, like the artwork of a movie soundtrack. The lettering on the cover is significant too."

The content of their DJ set, and the fact that Malamore is also the title of a 1982 Italian film and a word that describes an obsessive brand of unrequited love, are the keys to unlocking The Limiñanas, one of France's most beloved treasures, and their latest and greatest album, rooted in garage-punk but with the flair and range of a movie soundtrack: Serge Gainsbourg, meets Yé-Yé meets Phil Spector, the Nuggets compilations and early Stooges and Suicide albums meets the Sixties film genres of Commedia All'italiana and FrenchNouveau Vague, while sounding only like The Limiñanas. "We integrate a lot of different influences," Marie and Lionel declare, "but most of the time, it's unconsciously, and very naïve."

Malamore, like its 2013 predecessor Costa Blanca, is even structured like a soundtrack, "or a reading book record, like we had in our childhoods,' the couple explain. "With Malamore, we were thinking of Sixties Italian sketch movies: Dino Risi'sLes Monstres [The Monsters] is a great example. The main idea is a story with a start and an end, which can be linked even if they exist in different universes. Everything here is about love stories - thwarted love, aborted passions, funny or dramatic. But our album isn't directly related to the Italian movie, we just found the title adapted to our record, and the title alone sounded really good!"

As usual, Marie is on drums and vocals, and Lionel on guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals, but Malamore also features a stable of guests. Their high school friend Guillaume Picard sings on four tracks; Nika Leeflang, who is part of The Limiñanas' live incarnation, and Sarah McCoy, also sing; Laurent Sales plays bouzouki; Nicolas Delseny plays some epic acid-fuzz guitar; Franck Mengin plays the 'Stoogie' drum on "Zippo"; Pascal Comelade (with whom The Limiñanas collaborated on the 2013 instrumental album Traité De Guitarres Triolectiques À L'usage Des Portugaises Ensablées) wrote, and plays INSTRUMENT on, the closing instrumental "The Train Creep A-Loopin'", which sounds exactly like it reads.

But the most notable guest features on the duo's favouriteMalamore track, the hypnotic, dreamy "Garden Of Love": on bass and chorus vocals is none other than the legendary Peter Hook. "We are huge fans of Joy Division and New Order, and Peter completely transformed the song," Marie and Lionel say. "We are really proud of the song, and that he agreed to spare us a little bit of his time."

There are other legends on Malamore, such as The Kingmen's garage classic "Louie Louie" (one of Lionel's all-time favourite singles) named in the hypnotic "The Dead Are Walking" and actors Robert Mitchum and Robert Duvall referenced in the pulsing title track: "Our story needed two tough characters who were ready to fight, to take revenge on an flouted honour. Think of Duvall in The Godfather or Apocalypse Now, and Mitchum's psycho from Cape Fear or Night Of The Hunter!"

Shifting from dramatic scene to scene, Malamore - just like The Limiñanas themselves - is a magnificently moody experience, music for the ears and the eyes, and quite unlike any other record you'll hear in 2016.

CD - "Garden of Love" one of the first single tracks feat Peter Hook (New Order)

On the cover of their new album Malamore, their first album for Because Music, Lionel and Marie Limiñanas are back in black, and looking ineffably cool, standing next to a classic silver Fifties trailer, shot at a beach festival in the French town of Paulilles by the Spanish border, just 30 minutes drive from the duo's home town of Perpignan. They'd been playing a DJ set, "only with 45 rpm vinyl - Sixties punk, Italian pop, movie soundtracks and Seventies rock tracks," they recall. "The picture syncs well to the colour of Malamore, like the artwork of a movie soundtrack. The lettering on the cover is significant too."

The content of their DJ set, and the fact that Malamore is also the title of a 1982 Italian film and a word that describes an obsessive brand of unrequited love, are the keys to unlocking The Limiñanas, one of France's most beloved treasures, and their latest and greatest album, rooted in garage-punk but with the flair and range of a movie soundtrack: Serge Gainsbourg, meets Yé-Yé meets Phil Spector, the Nuggets compilations and early Stooges and Suicide albums meets the Sixties film genres of Commedia All'italiana and FrenchNouveau Vague, while sounding only like The Limiñanas. "We integrate a lot of different influences," Marie and Lionel declare, "but most of the time, it's unconsciously, and very naïve."

Malamore, like its 2013 predecessor Costa Blanca, is even structured like a soundtrack, "or a reading book record, like we had in our childhoods,' the couple explain. "With Malamore, we were thinking of Sixties Italian sketch movies: Dino Risi'sLes Monstres [The Monsters] is a great example. The main idea is a story with a start and an end, which can be linked even if they exist in different universes. Everything here is about love stories - thwarted love, aborted passions, funny or dramatic. But our album isn't directly related to the Italian movie, we just found the title adapted to our record, and the title alone sounded really good!"

As usual, Marie is on drums and vocals, and Lionel on guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals, but Malamore also features a stable of guests. Their high school friend Guillaume Picard sings on four tracks; Nika Leeflang, who is part of The Limiñanas' live incarnation, and Sarah McCoy, also sing; Laurent Sales plays bouzouki; Nicolas Delseny plays some epic acid-fuzz guitar; Franck Mengin plays the 'Stoogie' drum on "Zippo"; Pascal Comelade (with whom The Limiñanas collaborated on the 2013 instrumental album Traité De Guitarres Triolectiques À L'usage Des Portugaises Ensablées) wrote, and plays INSTRUMENT on, the closing instrumental "The Train Creep A-Loopin'", which sounds exactly like it reads.

"A mesmerizing Japanese ambient techno masterpiece that that completely rewires how you perceive music" Electronic Beats

"A mountainous Masterpiece. A powerful testament to rave culture's establishment and the birth of a new scene in Japan emerging in the mid '90s. One of Yokota's most celebrated work that merges Japanese new age and minimal techno"
Alex From Tokyo (Japan Vibrations, world famous, Paris)


GENRE/S: Techno, Acid, Ambient

New liner notes by Alex From Tokyo


On July 26th Susumu Yokota's venerated 1994 classic 'Acid Mt. Fuji' is reissued in expanded, deluxe fashion, as part of the 30th anniversary celebrations of the label that originally presented it. Japan's Musicmine - specifically it's electronic subsidiary Sublime Records - released the album on June 29th 1994, simultaneously with Ken Ishii's 'Reference To Difference', as their inaugural joint offering.

'Acid Mt. Fuji' is an enchanting mix of mystical ambient acid and futurist minimal techno, taking the listeners on a psychedelic pilgrimage, where 303, synths and electronic percussion are scented with reverb, echo and forest recordings. Merging Japanese new age and sparse electronica, the recording is free, organic, and energized - proffering a unique blend of early 90s western styles and the essence of his home country.

Yokota originally planned an ambient record, but 'Acid Mt. Fuji' evolved into a concept work featuring the Roland TB-303, which he recorded live at home alongside a sampler, yielding experimental and innovative results.

The longplayer found its muse in the famed 18th-19th century artist Hokusai's red rendition of Mt. Fuji, known as 'Red Fuji' or 'Akafuji'. Part of the painter's renowned 'Thirty Six Views of Mt. Fuji' series from the 1830s, 'Red Fuji' depicts the iconic sacred mountain aglow in red at dawn, symbolizing spirituality and creativity. With references to Japanese folklore, nature and shrines, tracks like 'Kinoko' and 'Meijijingu' invite the listener to immerse themselves in the album's spiritual depths.

Yokota's own homage-to-Hokusai drawing graces the record's cover, and was inspired by the concept of wa (harmony) - highlighting his diverse skills not only as a musician, but an artist and designer too.

'Acid Mt. Fuji' is a powerful testament to the establishment of rave culture in Japan, which rapidly developed within just two years, from 1992 to 1994. Largely due to praise for the breathtaking originality of the LP, within this burgeoning national techno scene, Yokota rose to prominence as one of its key figures.

He then became one of the most renowned artists to emerge from his homeland and enter the global electronic pantheon. He inspired a new wave of Japanese producers and DJs, contributing significantly to the growth of the techno movement in Japan.

Yokota was a solitary figure, an artist who expressed his life through the continuous creation of music. For those seeking something different; mystical, soothing, pristinely ergonomic and uniquely Japanese, this record stands as iconic as Mt. Fuji itself.

-

This triple vinyl Deluxe Edition includes the original album's eleven tracks alongside five raw and jacking rare gems, available on wax for the first time, which were previously included only in the Japanese 2016 Deluxe Edition CD.

There are also two digital-only bonus tracks. One is a live performance by Yokota, titled 'Live at Shibuya Beam Hall', which was recorded at Sublime Records' label launch party, held in September 1994. It was previously only released on the aforementioned 2016 Japanese CD edition. This event, titled 'Sublime Records Presents New Style of Electronic Ambient Party' featured performances by Susumu Yokota, Ken Ishii, Yoshihiro Sawasaki, Speedy J and DJ Wada. This ten minute long, rare live recording captures Yokota playing a dynamic, fast paced acid house live jam, using two TB-303s and a drum machine. The other digital only bonus track is an alternative version of 'H', which was discovered recently whilst excavating a DAT.

The liner notes are written by DJ/producer Alex From Tokyo, who was a good friend of Yokota, and experienced the 90s Tokyo club scene first-hand as an insider. His compilation 'Japan Vibrations Vol. 1' captures this golden era, and features music by Prism (Susumu Yokota), Ryuichi Sakamoto, Haruomi Hosono, Yasuaki Shimizu, Quadra (Hiroshi Watanabe) and more.

The title of the double LP ”please don’t wait” is simple and refers to the passage of time, urgency, and the present moment. It’s a message that calls for movement and action. (The title also references a track of the same name performed by rapper Jwles, released in 2018.)
After a stay in Detroit in 2022, Mad Rey returned to Montreuil, inspired and brimming with energy. He repaired his MPC2000XL and unearthed two vintage synthesizers from the 2000s: a Korg Triton and a Yamaha Motif.
Connected together, these three instruments revived sensations and inspired him to create one track per day. After two years of work, the producer felt the desire to bring together the eight instrumental tracks he most enjoyed recording.
Each track is a "live" recording, preserving its raw energy. The sounds of the instruments convey nostalgia and melancholy. The recording is raw, delivering a message of peace, humility, and unity. It pays tribute to the early days of house music.

Format Notes: 2024 first-time 12" reissue pairing of previously hyper-rare tracks, 140g vinyl, mastered by Simon Francis


Track List:

A1 Falling In Love
B1 Happy (Love Mix)

Release Notes:

Two seminal 12" mixes of a pair of enormous tracks from Surface. Housed in the super-rare and - until now - French-only picture sleeve of the eternal "Falling In Love", we've backed that classic with Be With's favourite deconstructed mix of the swirling electronic soul / synth-driven slow jam "Happy". These sought-after versions have never been paired on the same record before. This fresh Be With edition ensures these legendary tracks now sound, looks and feel as sensational as they deserve to. You know what to do...

American post-disco/R&B trio Surface were a New Jersey vocal group made up of Bernard Jackson, David Townsend and David Conley. The majesty of boogie ballad "Falling In Love" was their first single, released in 1983 on Salsoul Records. The mellow magic of this track is loved the world over; it's a feel-good smooth boogie jam that's forever coveted. The slick, crystal clear beat, the legendary minimoog bassline, the melody, Karen Copeland's superb vocal, the great flute solo (referenced on the cover) all of it is literally perfect and beautifully encapsulates that mid 80s international club vibe. This here is the original Shep Pettibone mix in its entirety - it's the only one you really need.

Flip for the legendary "Love Mix" of 1987 hit single “Happy". You all know the original. At least, you *should* all know it. But the "Love Mix" is a deconstructed, boldly produced mix which is the one the heads have turned to for so long. Yet, in our opinion, its hypnotic groove has flown under the radar for too many years. This killer remix begins with Jackson's spine-tingling isolated vocal, cleverly subverting expectations by actually delivering the first words of the original's second verse "You must be Heaven sent...Sent into my life...And I compliment you baby...Baby" before a heavy 808 drum kicks hard with echoey handclaps. It's super sparse and a dubbed out slow-mo boogie banger like no other. The synth bass, atmospheric synth pads and synthesized flute glide in and out with effortless style and the whole thing is a wonder to behold.

It's a slow jam, for sure, but crafted in the straight up funk tradition, using the digital tools of the day and this sparser than sparse version almost sounds like a precursor to UK Street Soul. A unique combination of undeniable funk, electro beats and an earnest, youthful tenor; it should be slamming out of every jeep forevermore.

Simon Francis remastered the original audio for both tracks and Cicely Balston's precise cut for Alchemy at AIR Studios ensures this 12" well and truly slaps. The immaculate Record Industry pressing will ensure this incredibly sought-after treasure finds a home in many more collections, this and every year. Simply flawless.

NON EXCL LP . Black Vinyl

f this LP exists it is thanks to the vision, energies, work and perseverance of Thomas M. Lopez, aka Meatball Fulton. He is the president and one of the founding members of the ZBS Foundation (ZBS stands for Zero Bullshit), where the audio dramas written by Lopez himself were born. Dramatic programs with stories that blended noir, comedy and science-fiction genres such as Ruby The Galactic Gumshoe or Jack Flanders were produced to critic and public acclaim. It was in Ruby The Galactic Gumshoe that the Android Sisters, who would later have their own spin-off series, first appeared. The characters represent two robotic siblings that Tom Lopez created under big influence from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the Philip K. Dick novel that was taken to cinema by Ridley Scott in Blade Runner. The Androids were performed by actresses Ruth Maleczech and Valeria Wasilewski.



The big success of these “cosmic and comic” sci-fi series, as they are described in the ZBS Foundations website, led to the releasing of cassette tapes, CDs, USBs and podcasting of the stories. Along with these, several music albums were also released in different formats. One of them is Songs Of Electric Despair, the first of two released by the Android Sisters. The songs contained are written by Tom Lopez and his long time collaborator experimental musician Tim Clark.



The Android Sisters Songs Of Electronic Despair LP was originally released as a ZBS Foundation cassette and also as a vinyl LP on Vanguard in 1984. It featured 11 compositions (two bonus tracks not on the original LP have been added to the Wah Wah reissue) on which the experimental synthesizer music of Tim Clark finds a perfect counterpoint in the deliciously surrealistic, cosmic social satire of Tom Lopez’s texts, magically performed by the robotic, yet sensual voices of the Android Sisters as performed by Maleczech and Wasilewski. Clark composed and performed the backing tracks on the Synclavier II synthesizer.



The Wah Wah reissue comes with two bonus tracks not on the original 1984 LP, respects the beautiful original album artwork and enhances it with a 4 pages full colour insert with notes and lyrics of the songs.

Deep West Coast Jazz-Rap instant c-l-a-s-s-i-c alert!

Perfect to chill to, Headnodic + Jazz Mafia's astounding self-titled record blends hip-hop and jazz effortlessly, bringing the two genres together with their intrinsic beauty intact. Here we get hip-hop beats made from the box (SP-12 / Maschine / Laptop / MPC etc.) that still feel like that good ol' loop-based Boom-Bap knock, mixed with an equal dose of timeless organic musicianship, shining with spontaneity, humanity and soul. This vital project came about when we opened an email from Thes One (of the mighty People Under The Stairs): "I want to introduce you to my good friend and collaborator Headnodic". Boy, are we glad he did.

It’s exceedingly limited, with just 500 pressed for the world.

Jazzy hip-hop on that mellow-melodic tip, Headnodic + Jazz Mafia is an unforgettable album with nothing but dope beats and dope bars. There's a strong chance these artists have, until now, passed you by. However, we truly believe this to be a hip-hop jazz masterpiece that'll be beloved for years to come. By way of introduction, Headnodic is a part of the fabric of underground hip-hop. From his contributions to the groundbreaking group Crown City Rockers (AKA Mission), to his production work with Lateef & the Gift of Gab as The Mighty Underdogs (Def Jux / Quannum Records), Headnodic embodies the spirit of hip-hop in a way that is both unique, rare and universal. A phenomenal talent, then, and one we were delighted to be put in touch with by Thes.

In the year 2000, trombonist, bassist, composer, arranger, and producer Adam Theis co-founded Jazz Mafia – an eclectic artist collective of forward-thinking and accomplished players in Electro, Hip-Hop, World, Classical, and Jazz. 25 years in the making, Jazz Mafia is a prolific staple of the quintessential San Francisco sound, uniting creative and accomplished Bay Area instrumentalists, vocalists, MCs, composers, and arrangers. The collective quickly garnered a reputation for its collaborative and risk-taking spirit, and over the years has worked with Roy Ayers, Lyrics Born, Zion-I, Latyrx and Blackalicious, to name a few.

Headnodic has been making beats since he was a teenager and, around the same time, he played electric and upright bass in jazz ensembles. The two genres were always intertwined for him: the jazz he loved had grit and groove and the hip-hop he loved sampled those very records, bringing that human touch to programmed beats. This album is a true collaboration between Headnodic and Adam Theis, along with The Jazz Mafia collective of musicians. In essence, Headnodic made the beats, Adam reacted with the horn arrangements but, with the extended family of musicians they pulled in, it made it feel like they were painting with infinite colours.

Indeed, some musicians - like vibraphonist Dan Neville - would replay and improvise over sampled loops, blurring the line between live performance and production. Other times, they’d strip out the sample entirely and build from the ground up with live players, leaving a recognisable loop to become a faint but welcoming echo of the original idea. How fresh is that? They enlisted some amazing vocalists and emcees: Genra, Do D.A.T., Ozay Moore (Lightheaded), Eligh (Living Legends) and Breathless brought raw lyricism.

Opener "Rambissimo" confidently strides out the gate, a rolling deep jazz--funk instrumental with old skool bells and brass over slick head-nod beats and chilled vibes. What else d'ya expect? Up next, "Zugulala" is a real slow-burn heater with a dancehall-adjacent riddim and gorgeous horns and vibes decorating the movement. Definitely one for more adventurous dance-floors and DJ sets. For their sublime, modern take on Herbie Hancock's “Maiden Voyage”, Otis MacDonald finds a propulsive pocket on the drum kit by melding seamlessly with a simple percussion loop from a belly dance instructional record. Yep! Colin Hogan’s left hand on the Juno 106 synthesizer glides like ocean currents, painting vast sonic landscapes while his right hand answers in real time on the Fender Rhodes electric piano. Destani Wolf then stacks her soulful voice into dense complex chordal clusters that take this voyage out of the confines of reality. Staggering!

Up next, the Be With link gets ever stronger with another interpolation / loose cover. Yep, "Rise", featuring Genra, Ozay Moore, is a laconic, sun-dappled take on Keni Burke's eternal "Risin' To The Top". It so breezy, so "magic hour" gorgeous that it feels like it could've come from Jazzy Jeff's all-time classic The Magnificent LP on BBE back in 2002. Really, it's that good. Another of our favourite tracks, "Risk Pt. 1" started with a dollar-bin library record Headnodic found on tour, decades ago. He looped a bassoon riff and, through Adam, connected with Paul Hanson, a master bassoonist who turned that loop in on itself. He then finished the song off with an improvised jam, syncopating against his own delay pedal, that was so heavy, so nasty, so epic that Headnodic just had to add drums from the MPC to make a new song titled “Risk Pt 2”. Moments like that — where rigid beat-making met the wild unpredictability of live jazz — became the heart of the record. Kaleidoscopic, breathless, strident trip-hop.

The B-side is ushered in with arguably the most immediate track on the album, the stunning, lo-fi jazz-hop instrumental "Subinodima". It's certainly your favourite. So slick, yet so evocative, like a perfectly produced 70s AM rock instrumental. Up next, "Flummox" raises the temperature over another killer Latin-flavoured steppers riddim, a wicked melting pot of programmed drums, infectious horn melodies and spacey synths. If that wasn't hot enough, the fierce "Both", featuring Olivia Ruff and Do D.A.T., deserves to be blasted across world, from sweaty basements to hyped radio shows to BBQ cookouts and beach parties. It's absolutely sensational and will likely seal the deal for you.

The breezy "All That You Could Be" is another exquisite, elegant instrumental with the players flowing beautifully and Headnodic's ear for a gliding beat and sun-kissed atmosphere shining through. As you may have guessed, one listen to "Talkin'" and you'll know it's a freaky, horn-fuelled take on the jazz-rap classic from Stetsasonic. Just brilliant. On “Apex”, longtime collaborators like Kat O1O and Max MacVeety (from Crown City Rockers) added their rhythm section magic, with Jon Monahan’s guitar bouncing ideas back and forth with Rita Thies’ flute whilst on the brief, aptly-titled closer "Roll The Credits" feels like a neat summation of everything you've just serenely digested. Perfect.

The funny thing is, for all the spontaneity you hear, Headnodic reliably informs us that this album took a ton of time and meticulous editing to sound as loose as it does: "W sent files back and forth, carving out spaces for solos, layering instruments, and constantly reshaping the songs. The goal was always to make it feel like we were all in the same room, jamming together. In the end, this feels like a collaboration, it feels exciting and it feels human. I’m incredibly proud of what we made and grateful for everyone who added their voice to the project."

Be With doing the vinyl for Headnodic + Jazz Mafia felt like the perfect match for all involved. As Headnodic explains, "the label’s catalog champions the spirit and sonic aesthetic we aimed for on this record — that warm, organic thickness of ’70s library records, like the re-releases they did with the KPM and Themes catalogs, mixed with Cali Hip-Hop a la Freestyle Fellowship. We wanted to channel 70s era’s rich textures, blending them with live musicianship to bring the sound full circle: from the records we’d sample for hip-hop back to musicians in a room, playing with the same raw energy. Be With gets the deep crate-digging sensibilities and love for boom-bap hip-hop, much like we do. It feels good to release music, knowing this record lives comfortably somewhere between Nohelani Cypriano and Bahamadia." It's been mastered for vinyl by Be With stalwart Simon Francis, cut by our favourite engineer Cicely Balston at Abbey Road Studios and pressed at the legendary Record Industry in Holland. Quality to the end.

GATEFOLD LP incl CD - "Garden of Love" one of the first single tracks feat Peter Hook (New Order)

On the cover of their new album Malamore, their first album for Because Music, Lionel and Marie Limiñanas are back in black, and looking ineffably cool, standing next to a classic silver Fifties trailer, shot at a beach festival in the French town of Paulilles by the Spanish border, just 30 minutes drive from the duo's home town of Perpignan. They'd been playing a DJ set, "only with 45 rpm vinyl - Sixties punk, Italian pop, movie soundtracks and Seventies rock tracks," they recall. "The picture syncs well to the colour of Malamore, like the artwork of a movie soundtrack. The lettering on the cover is significant too."

The content of their DJ set, and the fact that Malamore is also the title of a 1982 Italian film and a word that describes an obsessive brand of unrequited love, are the keys to unlocking The Limiñanas, one of France's most beloved treasures, and their latest and greatest album, rooted in garage-punk but with the flair and range of a movie soundtrack: Serge Gainsbourg, meets Yé-Yé meets Phil Spector, the Nuggets compilations and early Stooges and Suicide albums meets the Sixties film genres of Commedia All'italiana and FrenchNouveau Vague, while sounding only like The Limiñanas. "We integrate a lot of different influences," Marie and Lionel declare, "but most of the time, it's unconsciously, and very naïve."

Malamore, like its 2013 predecessor Costa Blanca, is even structured like a soundtrack, "or a reading book record, like we had in our childhoods,' the couple explain. "With Malamore, we were thinking of Sixties Italian sketch movies: Dino Risi'sLes Monstres [The Monsters] is a great example. The main idea is a story with a start and an end, which can be linked even if they exist in different universes. Everything here is about love stories - thwarted love, aborted passions, funny or dramatic. But our album isn't directly related to the Italian movie, we just found the title adapted to our record, and the title alone sounded really good!"

As usual, Marie is on drums and vocals, and Lionel on guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals, but Malamore also features a stable of guests. Their high school friend Guillaume Picard sings on four tracks; Nika Leeflang, who is part of The Limiñanas' live incarnation, and Sarah McCoy, also sing; Laurent Sales plays bouzouki; Nicolas Delseny plays some epic acid-fuzz guitar; Franck Mengin plays the 'Stoogie' drum on "Zippo"; Pascal Comelade (with whom The Limiñanas collaborated on the 2013 instrumental album Traité De Guitarres Triolectiques À L'usage Des Portugaises Ensablées) wrote, and plays INSTRUMENT on, the closing instrumental "The Train Creep A-Loopin'", which sounds exactly like it reads.

But the most notable guest features on the duo's favouriteMalamore track, the hypnotic, dreamy "Garden Of Love": on bass and chorus vocals is none other than the legendary Peter Hook. "We are huge fans of Joy Division and New Order, and Peter completely transformed the song," Marie and Lionel say. "We are really proud of the song, and that he agreed to spare us a little bit of his time."

There are other legends on Malamore, such as The Kingmen's garage classic "Louie Louie" (one of Lionel's all-time favourite singles) named in the hypnotic "The Dead Are Walking" and actors Robert Mitchum and Robert Duvall referenced in the pulsing title track: "Our story needed two tough characters who were ready to fight, to take revenge on an flouted honour. Think of Duvall in The Godfather or Apocalypse Now, and Mitchum's psycho from Cape Fear or Night Of The Hunter!"

Shifting from dramatic scene to scene, Malamore - just like The Limiñanas themselves - is a magnificently moody experience, music for the ears and the eyes, and quite unlike any other record you'll hear in 2016.
