About this product
On June 16th momentum continues apace for Alex Paterson's Orbscure records, with the new album by Chocolate Hills - his duo project with Paul Conboy. Purveying world class melodic ambience and plenty beyond, colours in this high-fidelity-headphone-wonderland range from languid chill, kitsch exotica, library music, space age pop, ye olde folk and even drum and bass - all seasoned with (in)appropriately random plunderphonics from Paterson's infinite goodie bag.Loosely based around a nautical journey to the Bermuda triangle and back, this is a fantastic voyage, but seas remain calm - more 'Life Aquatic' than 'Moby Dick'. Tracks gently bob and float on bass which is roomy and buoyant like the hull of a ship, whilst luxuriously fluffy clouds meander overhead, before their vessel dives deep below to marvel at aquatic delights, guided by sonar.Paul Conboy's approach as a member of cult analogue tinkerers Metamono - who use no computers, only old pre-digital gear - has carried over into his new joint venture. Both groups write, record and perform at same time, then later edit for . For 'Yarns from the Chocolate Triangle' Paul set himself and Alex up with assorted gear, including a record deck, synths and drum machines, then the pair recorded the raw version of the album on the fly. These long live jams where then then discreetly augmented, embellished and edited, with a nip and tuck in Logic.Clearly making a lasting impression on Alex, the duo's name was first referenced on The Orb's own 'Chocolate Hills Of Bohol' remix of their single 'Assassin' in 1992, which was the same year Alex got blown away when visiting the prehistoric geological formations and enchanting jungles of the Bohol province in the Philippines.

Delgrès formed in 2016 when singer, songwriter and guitarist Pascal Danaë met drummer Baptiste Brondy and soubassophone player Rafgee. Their name is a tribute to Louis Delgrès (1766-1802), leader of the movement resisting the reinstitution of slavery in Guadeloupe by Napoleonic France. Sung mostly in Creole, their 2018 debut album, Mo Jodi, was called Incha hurricane of heavy bluesInch, Inchferocious and liberatingInch, and a sound cast between InchTinariwen and Black KeysInch. In 2019 the band was nominated Best World Music Album at the French Victoires de La Musique. On their sophomore album, 4 00 AM, they continue to fight for their values in the face of injustice and conquer their path. Album Tracks 1. 4 Ed Maten 2. Aleas 3. Assez Assez 4. Se Mo la 5.
