Jean and a big band rehearse perfect Exotica, 40s, 50s and 60s generic band music, TV music, latino, hot jazz, early rock, tangos and other slices of memory, transformed by wit and intelligence to be much more than pastiche.

Collecting the tracks from tapes he managed to acquire back in 1989 Alan Bishop has come up with a window into a world of pop music rarely heard by those outside of this equatorial island. It's clearly pop - the sounds you hear are very slightly related to sounds you would have heard anywhere else in 1989, but at the same time this is music from a land we have little or no connection to culturally. Just skip to the second track (which was taken from an unmarked tape so has no details) and prepare yourself for a real experience - the saturated and degraded sounds of what once was electro-pop, all cheap synths and jangling guitars. Imagine Selda dubbed to cassette tape again and again then speeded up just a little and you'll have some idea of what to expect - but the truth is in the listening and this simply has to be heard.

Folk and Pop Sounds of Sumatra (Volume 2) expands our presentation of the world’s least-known, outstanding musical improbabilities. From the infectious trance beat of Sumatra's Folk Dangdut music, featuring Rabab (Violin) or Saluang (Flute), to the highly-refined and glorious Orkes Gambus (Orchestral Arabic music with Gambus; literally meaning Oud, said to have been brought to the island by Islamic settlers from Yemen, the 18 tracks featured here will instantly convince the listener of the expressive beauty and diversity that Sumatra has contributed to the world music theater. Most of the musicians on this release are 'Minangkabau' or 'Minang'; people who are devout followers of Islam as well as the world's largest Matrilineal society (a Minangkabau child is the descendent of his/her mother, not father). These tracks (chosen from stacks of old cassettes) were recorded from the 1960s through the 1980s.

Mitch & Mitch is a five-person duet, formed in 2002 by Mitch and Mitch. The band’s line-up includes James Boned Mitch, Mr. Bitch and Serious Mitch. The first stage of the winding road taken by the band Mitch & Mitch was the choice of widely understood country music as their subject. The result was the 2003 record "Luv Yer Country" and a great many concerts in Poland and abroad. Knowing that one cannot climb higher, the band decided to break up and reactivate itself under a changed name: Mitch & Mitch (the order of the Mitches was reversed) and to pay a tribute to those who shaped their tastes. In 2006 they published the album 12 Catchy Tunes (We Wish We Had Composed) which contains covers of less well known, or underestimated musical masters from all around the world, e.g. a Finnish film music composer Arkiun Tekkelaki, Japanese masters of noise-blues Hekoki Motherfuckers or cult American bard of Jewish origin Zelig Rabitchnyak who plays an original mutation of blue grass and klezmer music which he himself calls jewgrass. Despite the fact that the original versions can be found in the Internet, alongside information about the artists, or even photographs from their lives, it remains a fact that none of these composers ever existed.

Re-issue of his debut LP from 1956 on the musician's own Moondog Recordings imprint. This incredible album showcases the man at his way-out best, blending Eastern instruments and ethnic music with American exotica to come up with a sound which is impossible to categorise.

Mark Gergis, known from some releases on the Sublime Frequencies label, and his group Neung Phak who play Cambodian pop music, made this collage in a Negativland spirit, of spoken word and music that has some connection to the US post 9/11 paranoia and hypocrite exotism. Well done.
