SHORT INFO:
After their debut album "Hoa Am Xua" (2019), which was nominated for Songlines Music Award 2021, featured as Record of the Month on Radio FIP in France and celebrated by Iggy Pop on BBC6, among others, Saigon Soul Revival returns with their latest record, "M?i L??ng Duyên".

Descending out of the southern night sky through a turbulent cloud of dreams, memory, longing and psychedelia, Saigon Soul Revival's second full length represents the latest act in the group's resuscitation of the raw, heavy and subversive sounds of 1960s and 70s Saigon.

Roughly translated to "destiny", M?i L??ng Duyên is a journey through eight original compositions and three soul-stirring reinterpretations of Saigonese nh?c vàng or golden music: the soundtrack to a Saigon once thought lost to history and amnesia.

Driven by Western influences rock, bolero, soul, jazz and the rich heritage of Vietnamese ballads, M?i L??ng Duyên delivers a seamless blend of genres and traditional instrumentation (?àn Tranh, ?àn B?u & ?àn Nguy?t) with themes from across time and space.

In 2024 the title ?ÁM C??I NHÀ EM from their second studio album "M?i L??ng Duyên" is featured in the HBO Mini-Serie "The Symphatizer" (directed by Par Chan-Wook (Oldboy) / Robert Downey Junior producer and actor), which is based on the novel of the same name (Pulitzer Prize 2016) by Viet Thanh Nguyen.

- CD Digisleeve (Gatefold), 28 page Booklet




Saigon Supersound is delighted to present the 3rd and final volume of its pre-1975 Southern Vietnamese music collection. A curated collection of music from Saigon during the 1960s and early 1970s. The music has been restored and remastered in order to present listeners with audio quality on par with its original quality upon release more than half a century ago.

The first few songs in this Volume are songs Vietnamese people used to call “Stimulus Music” or “Action Music”. These are songs that borrow vibrant melodies, inspired by the west, performed by the best representatives of this genre. In addition, this volume includes songs, famous in clubs both past and present like “N?u Anh V? Bên Em” by Mai Huong and “Hình ?nh Ngu?i Em Không Ð?i” by Thanh Lan.

Many believe that "Southern Golden Music" is just popular music, simply because it "pleases the listener". Volume 3 include melodies most Vietnamese might have considered “unpopular”, but popular with “golden music” lovers. Today, people often call “gold music” bolero music, because this is the most popular style found in this golden era of music. In this volume, Saigon Supersound have selected typical bolero songs like,“Hàn M?c T?” sang by Trúc Mai, as well as, “N?ng Chi?u” by Lê Tr?ng Nguy?n.

In addition to the variety of melodies, Volume 3 also shows the diversity of genres found in old Southern music by introducing songs that praise the homeland such as “Tình Reo Trên Sóng Lúa Vàng” by Thanh Lan, praising peace in “Xin Cho Tôi Gi?c M?ng Bình Yên” by Thanh Tuy?n, witty music in “C?u C? Lên Thành” by Connie Kim.

Volume 3 closes with the song “Xuân Mu?n” (Late Spring), performed by Hoàng Oanh. The song talks about the end of a lunar year - a cycle of heaven and earth, the end of sad stories and opens up new hopes for more positive things to come.

Finally, the face of the movie star Ki?u Chinh is chosen to grace the cover image of Saigon Supersound 3rd Volume. Although she may not have had any direct relations related to music, more than 50 years ago, Ki?u Chinh's image appeared many times on the covers of various music sheets. The image of Ki?u Chinh was chosen for the mix of Eastern and Western cultures present in her life and career that mirrored the music of that era. These songs, with melodies originating from Europe, the Americas and Africa have been an integral part of Vietnamese music since the 1960s.

SHORT INFO:

Saigon Supersound wird fortgesetzt um weitere interessante Melodien aus einer musikalischen Ära zu präsentieren, die lange Zeit im Dunkeln lag. Nach dem interntional gut aufgenommenen Release von Volume 1 freuen wir uns sehr, tiefer zu diggen und interessante Musik einer kurzen, aber bedeutenden Periode in der Geschichte Vietnams zu teilen.

Diesmal beschränkt sich die Auswahl der Titel auf die Zeit zwischen 1964 - 1975, das sogenannte "Goldene Zeitalter", in dem es im Süden Vietnams unter schwierigen Umständen eine lebendige Popkultur gab.

Für uns ist diese Geschichte mit Vol. 1 noch nicht zu Ende erzählt. Einige musikalische Facetten sind noch nicht beleuchtet, auch aus Mangel an qualitativ, geeignetem Ausgangsmaterial zur Aufarbeitung/Restaurierung. In der Zwischenzeit und vor allem durch die große Resonanz, die wir mit Vol. 1 in Vietnam erhalten haben (wir konnten zur Veröffentlichung Shows in den drei größten Städten Vietnams organisieren) und auch auf Festivals, die wir in London und Paris gespielt haben, haben sich neue Türen geöffnet und uns die Möglichkeit gegeben, Vol. 2 so zu gestalten, wie wir es uns wünschen.

SHORT INFO:


ENGLISH
Ho Chi Minh City based band, Saigon Soul Revival has been bringing alternative pre 1975 music from Saigon back to the stage since 2016 with their live performances. Honouring the original composers, singers and the golden era from which this music (Nh?c Vàng) came while applying new arrangements and interpretations of old Vietnamese songs. With tight grooves, psychedelic textures and a powerful unique sound, SSR has performed countless shows at a variety of venues across Vietnam. In 2017 they also took part in the nationally known "Ban Nh?c Vi?t" (known in the west as "The Band") TV format and and accompanied live the two release tours to the Saigon Supersound Compilation releases.

With support from *British Council's FAMLAB Fund initiative they started to create own compositions in the same vein for their debut album "H?a Âm X?a" that was produce by Jan Hagenkötter and released in 2019 on the Saigon Supersound Imprint. The album was recorded in Vietnam with additional guests like the famous (pre 1975) Vietnamese singer Mai L? Huy?n and the current popular Saigonese rapper "Blacka" (2022 finalist of Vietnam's most successful
TV show "Rap Vi?t") in order to combine the old sound with the new sound of Saigon. Some compositions include traditional Vietnamese instruments like the ?àn Nguy?t or the ?àn tranh & ?àn b?u which is played by famous traditionally-trained musician Th? H?i Ph??ng on the album. This fusion distinguishes it from the original recordings of the 60s and 70s and has resulted in a unique and contemporary sound. Their debut album "Hoa Am Xua" gained international success. Among many other media features It was nominated for the SONGLINES MUSIC AWARDS 2021 in the UK ! and received massive radio airplay and rotations on Radio FIP in France.

All members of the band are of Vietnamese background or have a strong connection to its culture and heritage through loved ones and their time spent in the country. Their music focuses on compositions that fuse Vietnamese lyrics and sounds with influences of western rock, soul, bolero, tango and other popular genres of this time period, most of which was banned after the war. This project strives to revive this beautiful musical heritage of Vietnam which represents an important cultural bridge between east and west.

Die in Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt ansässige Band Saigon Soul Revival bringt seit 2016 mit ihren Live-Auftritten die alternative Musik aus Saigon vor 1975 zurück auf die Bühne. Sie ehren die ursprünglichen Komponisten, Sänger und die goldene Ära, aus der diese Musik (Nh?c Vàng) stammt, während sie neue Arrangements und Interpretationen alter vietnamesischer Lieder verwenden. Mit knackigen Grooves, psychedelischen Texturen und einem kraftvollen, einzigartigen Sound hat SSR unzählige Auftritte an verschiedenen Veranstaltungsorten in ganz Vietnam absolviert. Im Jahr 2017 nahmen sie auch an dem landesweit bekannten TV-Format "Ban Nh?c Vi?t" (im Westen als "The Band" bekannt) teil und begleiteten live die beiden Release-Touren zu den Saigon Supersound Compilation-Veröffentlichungen.

Mit Unterstützung der *British Council's FAMLAB Fund Initiative begannen sie, eigene Kompositionen in der gleichen Art und Weise für ihr Debütalbum "H?a Âm X?a" zu kreieren, das von Jan Hagenkötter produziert und 2019 auf dem Saigon Supersound Imprint veröffentlicht wurde. Das Album wurde in Vietnam aufgenommen, mit zusätzlichen Gästen wie der berühmten (vor 1975) vietnamesischen Sängerin Mai L? Huy?n und dem aktuell sehr populären saigonesischen Rapper "Blacka" (2022 Finalist von Vietnams erfolgreichster
TV-Show "Rap Vi?t"), um den alten Sound mit dem neuen Sound von Saigon zu verbinden. Einige Kompositionen enthalten traditionelle vietnamesische Instrumente wie die ?àn Nguy?t oder die ?àn Tranh & ?àn B?u, die von demr berühmten, traditionell ausgebildeten Musiker Th? H?i Ph??ng auf dem Album gespielt wird. Diese Fusion unterscheidet es von den Originalaufnahmen der 60er und 70er Jahre und hat zu einem einzigartigen und zeitgenössischen Sound geführt. Ihr Debütalbum "Hoa Am Xua" ist ein internationaler Erfolg. Neben vielen anderen Medienberichten wurde es für die SONGLINES MUSIC AWARDS 2021 in Großbritannien nominiert und erhielt massives Radio Airplay u.a, von Iggy Pop in seiner BBC Radio Show sowie Rotationen auf Radio FIP in Frankreich.

Alle Mitglieder der Band sind vietnamesischer Herkunft oder haben eine starke Verbindung zur vietnamesischen Kultur und zum vietnamesischen Erbe durch geliebte Menschen und ihre im Land verbrachte Zeit. Ihre Musik konzentriert sich auf Kompositionen, die vietnamesische Texte und Klänge mit Einflüssen von westlichem Rock, Soul, Bolero, Tango und anderen populären Genres dieser Zeit verbinden, von denen die meisten nach dem Krieg verboten wurden. Mit diesem Projekt soll dieses wunderschöne musikalische Erbe Vietnams, das eine wichtige kulturelle Brücke zwischen Ost und West darstellt, wiederbelebt werden.

…The five-piece band's background is as diverse as can be, but they all share the same fascination with this era of Vietnamese music. Two tracks, 'Vo Mong An Tinh' and 'Chuon Chuon Xanh,' employ the unique sounds of Vietnamese instruments performed by traditional musician Nguyen Thi Hai Phuong. Phuong lent her expertise on ?àn tranh, ?àn nguy??t and ?àn bâ?u to the record, creating a fascinating mix of influences across eras and genres. (SAIGONEER - Vietnam 11/2019)

…The tight, polished arrangements suggest a band that have earned their stripes on the live circuit. Managing to avoid the "tribute" band" trap, they do a good job of breathing new life into stifled vein of Vietnamese pop culture / TOP OF THE WORLD REVIEW (as best asian album in April 2020) (SONGLINES - United Kingdom 04/2020)


…Saigon Soul Revival widmet sich also dem goldenen Zeitalter, alles in allem mit Gewinn, es belebt nicht nur wieder, sondern gestaltet auch neu.
Darum sind neben Interpretationen auch eigene Stücke vorhanden…Damit treffen sie die goldene Mitte: Erhalt des Alten und bestenfalls eine Motivation für junge Vietnamesen, weniger Plastik zu konsumieren.
(TAGESZEITUNG/TAZ - Germany 01/2020)
...su vocalista no trata de imitar a las féminas anglos sino que su deje y forma se encuentra más enraizada con la delicadeza y sensibilidad asiática…(ARCADIA NEGRA - Spain 11/2019)

DEUTSCH
Was 2012 als Idee begann, wurde mit der Veröffentlichung von SAIGON SUPERSOUND Vol.1, zusammengestellt von Jan Hagenkötter, Realität. Eine Compilation über die Geschichte einer fast verlorenen musikalischen Ära in Vietnam, bestehend aus Tracks aus den Jahren 1965 bis 1975, der sogenannten "Goldenen Musik"-Periode im Süden Vietnams, in der sich - unter schwierigen Umständen - eine lebendige Popkultur entwickelt hatte. Diese Periode ist gekennzeichnet durch die Verschmelzung vietnamesischer Musik mit westlicher Popmusik Mit der Veröffentlichung von Saigon Supersound Vol. 1 im Mai 2017 wird die Geschichte dieser fast unbekannten Musik zum ersten Mal neu aufgelegt. Einige Stücke werden zum allerersten Mal wiederveröffentlicht, oder überhaupt auf Vinyl veröffentlicht seit sie ursprünglich auf R2R-Tonband oder 7" Vinyl veröffentlicht wurden. ??

The compilation includes some tunes reissued for the very first time since they´ve been released originally. Some tunes even for the very first time on Vinyl since they ?ve been released originaly on reel 2 reel tape only.

Mit Unterstützung der *British Council's FAMLAB Fund Initiative begannen sie, eigene Kompositionen in der gleichen Art und Weise für ihr Debütalbum "H?a Âm X?a" zu kreieren, das von Jan Hagenkötter produziert und 2019 auf dem Saigon Supersound Imprint veröffentlicht wurde. Das Album wurde in Vietnam aufgenommen, mit zusätzlichen Gästen wie der berühmten (vor 1975) vietnamesischen Sängerin Mai L? Huy?n und dem aktuell sehr populären saigonesischen Rapper "Blacka" (2022 Finalist von Vietnams erfolgreichster
TV-Show "Rap Vi?t"), um den alten Sound mit dem neuen Sound von Saigon zu verbinden. Einige Kompositionen enthalten traditionelle vietnamesische Instrumente wie die ?àn Nguy?t oder die ?àn Tranh & ?àn B?u, die von demr berühmten, traditionell ausgebildeten Musiker Th? H?i Ph??ng auf dem Album gespielt wird. Diese Fusion unterscheidet es von den Originalaufnahmen der 60er und 70er Jahre und hat zu einem einzigartigen und zeitgenössischen Sound geführt. Ihr Debütalbum "Hoa Am Xua" ist ein internationaler Erfolg. Neben vielen anderen Medienberichten wurde es für die SONGLINES MUSIC AWARDS 2021 in Großbritannien nominiert und erhielt massives Radio Airplay u.a, von Iggy Pop in seiner BBC Radio Show sowie Rotationen auf Radio FIP in Frankreich.

Alle Mitglieder der Band sind vietnamesischer Herkunft oder haben eine starke Verbindung zur vietnamesischen Kultur und zum vietnamesischen Erbe durch geliebte Menschen und ihre im Land verbrachte Zeit. Ihre Musik konzentriert sich auf Kompositionen, die vietnamesische Texte und Klänge mit Einflüssen von westlichem Rock, Soul, Bolero, Tango und anderen populären Genres dieser Zeit verbinden, von denen die meisten nach dem Krieg verboten wurden. Mit diesem Projekt soll dieses wunderschöne musikalische Erbe Vietnams, das eine wichtige kulturelle Brücke zwischen Ost und West darstellt, wiederbelebt werden.

VITAL SALES POINTS:

…The five-piece band's background is as diverse as can be, but they all share the same fascination with this era of Vietnamese music. Two tracks, 'Vo Mong An Tinh' and 'Chuon Chuon Xanh,' employ the unique sounds of Vietnamese instruments performed by traditional musician Nguyen Thi Hai Phuong. Phuong lent her expertise on ?àn tranh, ?àn nguy??t and ?àn bâ?u to the record, creating a fascinating mix of influences across eras and genres. (SAIGONEER - Vietnam 11/2019)

Maxi vinyl: Limited Edition Blue Vinyl Variant, 12" cut at 45rpm, 350gsm sleeve, Sticker

Tracklisting

A1. Eisbär
B1. FILM 2
B2. Ich Lieb Sie




Info

WRWTFWW Records is very honored to announce the official reissue of Grauzone’s essential 1981 maxi single with timeless classic "Eisbär", proto-techno beast "FILM 2", and romantic synth ballad "Ich Lieb Sie", just in time for the 40th anniversary of the Swiss band’s formation. The three-track vinyl is sourced from the original reels, cut at 45rpm, and comes with its iconic artwork on a 350gsm sleeve. This special limited edition is available in blue vinyl variant.

Ich möchte ein Eisbär sein…Written by Martin Eicher after a nightmare in which he saw talking polar bears on the walls, and with music by the Grauzone crew consisting of Martin and his brother Stephan Eicher, Marco Repetto, Christian "GT" Trüssel, and Claudine Chirac (on saxophone), "Eisbär" is the most recognizable title from the band, a sublime mix of ingredients reflecting the transitional era it comes from - the raw energy of punk music still palpable, combined with the audacity of early electronics, the warm groove of a disco gem, beautifully fragile lyrics, and one of the best basslines ever. It became a mega hit, totally unplanned, but how could you resist such a track?

"FILM 2" is the ultimate b-side monster, a menacing all-instrumental pre-techno masterpiece, slowly building to a magnetizing frenzy. An instant underground favorite, it was famously heard played at both speeds depending on the scenes and DJs you were frequenting, 45rpm as it was first intended, and 33rpm for the cosmic experience (search Daniele Baldelli’s Cosmic C75 1982 mixtape online for a great example of this).

The maxi single ends with "Ich Lieb Sie", a synth-pop meets doo-wop ballad, a true love song oozing with innocence. Simple, stylish, and just right.

At the crossroads of post-punk, new wave, pop, and electronic experimentation, the Eisbär maxi offers three songs that are technically different but hold the same spirit, the perfect embodiment of Grauzone’s music - wild, unpredictable, and youthful, yet sophisticated, catchy, and ingenious. The magic recipe for the good stuff.

Stephan Eicher went on to be, arguably, the most successful Swiss musician ever, with an international career extending from pop chanson to experimental escapades and collaborations with Moondog, artists Sophie Calle and John Armleder, and author Martin Suter among many other luminaries. Marco Repetto flourished as a techno and ambient producer, releasing multiple projects including releases on Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label.

Grauzone and WRWTFWW will continue to collaborate on the band’s 40th anniversary reissue campaign, with numerous projects planned for the year, including a vast selection of music, visuals, and literature never available before.

We are proud to present the first official reworks of the disco/jazz-funk masterpiece Trip To Your Mind - now available for the first time with a picture cover featuring a classic shot of composer Reginald Hudson on the front.

For decades, Trip To Your Mind was celebrated as a Brit Funk classic, though its true origins remained a mystery. While recorded at London's Advision Studio, Hudson People were neither local nor British - a fact first uncovered with its official 2022 reissue on Backatcha Records. In interviews with label owner DJ Scientist, Reg Hudson revealed that the backing band behind his composition was Body Heat, a GI group based in Germany. The recording, believed to date back to around 1977, remained shelved for some time. By the time it was finally released in 1979, Body Heat was on the verge of disbanding, leading to the track being credited to Hudson People. Since then, Trip To Your Mind has been heavily bootlegged and compiled since the late '90s, cementing its status as an in-demand classic.

For our rework release, the A-side features a brilliant DJ-friendly edit by Delfonic, based on the original Hithouse mix. Unlike the later Ensign Records remix, this version starts with an 8 bar intro crescendo that was missing from subsequent reworks. When we approached Delfonic about reworking the track, he was immediately hooked - especially since he had already started an edit years ago but never completed it. His version builds tension through an extended intro before leading into the beloved vocal line: "Take a trip through your mind, surprises you will find." Delfonic's masterful editing ensures the track keeps listeners engaged until the very end.

The B-side features a rework by Italian DJ and producer Luca Trevisi, aka LTJ Xperience. His version is based on the Ensign remix of "Trip To Your Mind" by Chris Hill and Robbie Vincent. Some may recall a slightly different, clubbier version of this rework, which was released by a UK label in 2010. That version became a sought-after gem - however, Hudson never received any payment from the label. When we reached out to Trevisi about an official re-release, he generously revisited his edit, resulting in a more organic and dynamic mix. His version will appeal not only to disco and funk lovers but also to house and club DJs. The new mix was mastered by Frederic Stader on an EMI TG124 - an iconic mixing desk, famously used at Abbey Road Studios.

Both edits preserve the psychedelic essence of the original while making it more compatible with modern listening habits. Pressed on a high-quality, loud-cut 12", this release is a must-have for any DJ's collection. It follows our label's GI-related releases by Grand Slam and "Shake It - Make It Loose" by J.D. Puma Lewis - another project that composer and keyboardist Reginald Hudson was involved in.

Shortinfo:
Annie A, the one-off collaborative project between Félicia Atkinson, Time is Away, Christina Petrie and Maxine Funke, arrives on A Colourful Storm with an inquisitive, exploratory composition evoking questions of inconstancy and reconciliation, vastness and finitude and the sometimes cruel deception of human perception. Who will conduct our dreams if we never wake?

It is a geographically diverse yet like-minded ensemble whose seeds were sown during an A Colourful Storm show in London, where time on stage was shared by Atkinson, Time is Away and Petrie. Atkinson had previously found solace in Time is Away's Ballads (ACOLOUR041), Funke's Seance (ACOLOUR035) and particularly the voice of poet Petrie, whose delivery drifts from a wide-eyed stream of consciousness to crystalline sensory expression. It is the perfect accompaniment to Atkinson's hushed tones, spoken sensitively like a mother to a resting child.

Atkinson's evocative sonic landscapes are formed from keyboard, voice and organic materials collected from life on the dramatic coast of Normandy, as well as field recordings from places far and wide. She breathes life into liminal spaces, the sound of wind, whispers and the distant clatter of rocks conjuring visions of places both beautiful and eerily familiar. Time is Away delicately arranges the field of sounds, their weaving and layering likened to the assembly of an Anni Albers textile. The spirit of Albers guides the piece, Petrie's recounting of her loom and thread a symbol of her endurance, vitality and seeking wonder in intricacies. The piece also features an exclusive concluding track by Maxine Funke, whose meditation on vulnerability confronts and surrenders herself to the enchanting natural world.
