Adrian Shaw - Look Out - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

What can you say about the bass playing (and way more) legend that is Ade Shaw? During a long and mind-altering career, Ade has played with many outfits, most notably psych warlords Hawkwind, for whom he provided his trademark basslines for several years in the mid 70s. He has also played with Atomic Rooster (albeit briefly), Magic Muscle, Rustic Hinge, The Hawklords, Keith Christmas, Mike Moorcock's Deep Fix and many more. More recently, (well, the last 30 years actually!) he has been the bass player in The Bevis Frond. For the last year or two, however, he has had to stand down from touring and gigging for personal reasons, but happily this has not prevented him from recording a new album. So it is with great pride and delight that we are now able to 'A Dark Reflection' on Blue Matter. Eleven brand Adrian Shaw new songs ranging from out and out psychedelia, through rock to even a splash of lilting balladry. With Ade playing all the instruments bar a couple of guest appearances from Nick Saloman & Bari Watts, this is the Ade Shaw album we've all been waiting for. It's a real stormer, and it's a great privilege to be able it on our tag. Give it a listen & hopefully you'll see what we mean.

Lambert, Hendricks & Bavan At Basin Street East - Recorded InchLiveInch at Basin Street East is an album by the jazz vocalese group Lambert, Hendricks & Bavan recorded at the New York City nightclub Basin Street East. The album features the group who had re-formed in 1963 featuring Dave Lambert and Jon Hendricks, with Yolande Bavan replacing Annie Ross who had left the group in 1962.

Known for writing and engineering his own music, Medhane turned to a slate of high-powered guest producers on Amethyst of Morning, including Ohbliv; Richmond, VA's Super Miles; Nicholas Craven (who produced for Roc Marciano and Conway); Alexander Spit from the Bay Area; and more. The album cover art, meticulously designed by up-and-coming artist Teffy, captures the depth of emotion Medhane expresses in his music themes of depression, isolation, and the trials and tribulations that accompany coming of age in New York City and America.
