Bouras,Ian C - Pieces of the Past - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Being Dead's records are mosaics, technicolor incantations, each song it's own self-contained little universe. And while the dreamlike EELS probes further into the depths of the duo Being Dead's psyche, it is, most importantly, in the year of our lord 2024, a 16-track record that is genuinely unpredictable from one track to the next a joyous and unexpected trip helmed by two true-blue freak B*tch besties holed up in a lil' house in the heart of Austin, Texas.

Grammy Award winning composer, performer, recording artist, multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef has been a major force on the international musical scene for more than six decades. This classic album, recorded in New York City on October 22, 1960, features Yusef on tenor sax with Vincent Pitts on trumpet; John Hormon on piano; Ray McKinny on bass and George Scott and Cliff Jarvis on drums. Soulful, hardbop at it's finest. All selections newly remastered.

Out 28th June, 'Made In Pieces' is the debut album from Manchester six-strong soul collective, Pieces of a Man. Electronically manipulating and pushing the sonic boundaries of a conventional soul band, the group creates immersive textured soundscapes, built with elements of hip-hop, funk, R&B, gospel choirs and neo-soul; produced by legendary mastermind Zed Bias aka Maddslinky, who has hailed it as Inchone of the best records I've been part of in 20 odd years.InchThe album encompasses a wide pallet of genres from gospel and choral soundscapes to neo-soul and even French 'touch' house, while rooted in a musical diet of neo-soul and traditional soul heavyweights, such as Ron Kenoly, D'Angelo and Jill Scott. Exploring the universal internal conversations of the human psyche and the tensions of what we perceive of a person externally to how they are actually feeling; 'Made In Pieces' is an album of real character and intention, one for soul-heads and those who succumb to a party-groove alike. With early support from BBC Introducing, Mike Chadwick (Jazz FM/Snarky Puppy) and Lubi Jovanovic (Soul Rebels), alongside live shows at the prolific Band on the Wall, Jazz Café, Sofar Sounds, Glastonbury Festival and Soundcrash's Funk & Soul Weekender, plus supporting the likes of Jarrod Lawson, Bilal, Omar and Cory Henry, Pieces of a Man are pushing the electro-soul re-emergence in the UK as a collective powerhouse.1.
