The Bad Plus - Complex Emotions [VINYL LP] 140 Gram Vinyl date 06/06/2025

Good Medicine - what we strive for our music to be. The natural reverberations of earth and sky. From time before time humans have been creating music for healing To balance psycho - emotional pathways, to harmonize the cellular vibrations of the body, to expand consciousness itself. This way of wisdom was shared with US by the elders of this music as the essential approach to creativity. The mix - bands of tin are wrapped around the tongue keys of the thumb piano, the metal sarsara rattle is inserted into the end of the Gnawa sintir, a gut string is strung across the skin of the brekete drum. Throughout much of Africa musician-healers have used these and other methods to alter the voice of their instruments so when played, a parallel Inchshadow lineInch of sound is heard. These rhythm overtones are sometimes called Inchthe voice of the ancestorsInch and are linked to the transcendent quality of the music. In recent years, artists like Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis and Congotronics used newer technologies for this. The music on this recording was mixed with this idea in mind. The sounds of the instruments are allowed to resonate into deep space, creating a shadow world of harmonic colors. As the music unfolds each instrumental voice sings into this space adding to the dance of orchestration and form.

Full download included as well. The CD comes in a 4 panel digipack with a 12 page lyric booklet.Death Pill are an all-female hardcore punk power trio of considerable muscle, combining metalcore, punk rock and oodles of Riot Grrl vibe. Full on and fully formed on their self-titled debut album. That aside, what makes this even more pertinent for us, and the fact that it is happening at all, is that Mariana, Anastasiya and Nataliya are from the Ukraine, who's troubles are well known to all of course, but naturally enough have hit the band very hard.The musicianship and commitment on display is undeniable, plus the tracks on the album have been totally remastered for this , sounding as fat and full as a raging whirlwind. Although things are uncertain, the band are still strong and still together.
