" Instrumentals in popular sound of world metropolitans in 24 hours rhythm. Funky brass and reed arrangements with a large strings group". Mladen Gutesha conducts the Suddeutscher Rundfunk, smooth jazz fussion music with a pinch of easy listening. Nice for intimate evenings. Here

PATCHWORK 44. MODERN WAY


One of the coolest vinyls from the Patchwork library. This one signed by the great Teddy Lasry. A side features gentle, soft electronic compositions with rippling sequencers, on side B Teddy shows his abilities in a jazz funk attitude. Not to miss it.

MILKWAYS. GALACTIC REACTION


Another space disco gem from 1978, Members of Milkways are not clear because no info at the back cover, tracks composed by Rody Sainroch, Regis Dupré, Didier Guinochet and Philippe Pages. If you like "Space", "Droids", etc you ll enjoy it!

INTRODUCING "PONTA" MURAKAMI


Produced by Jun Fukumachi, who also plays keyboards and moog & arp synthesizers. This is a really crazy record, plenty of experimentation around percussive sounds ( timpani, gongs, cymbals, japanese drums, etc) often processed by electronic devices. In "Contact Point" or "Triaxial Development" they explore power jazz funk territories. Great!
