About this product
In Madagascar - the fourth biggest island of the world - there is no such thing like InchfolkloreInch, but only an unbroken and pulsating tradition always open for changes which contains an almost incredible variety of musical forms of expression. The vocal music of the deep South of Madagaskar had a formative influence on the musicians Ricky and Mbasalala. In general, they both play with their own groups, mostly with instrumental accompaniment. The two musicians got to know each other at a meeting in the German Institute of Arts in Antananarivo, the Cercle Germano-Malagasy, and developed the idea for a first joint concert - this CD documents the results infectious and perfect a cappella songs of own and traditional compositions. Ricky originates from a village near the jungle in the South-East of Madagascar. He intensively devoted himself to the traditional music of his homeland; many of his texts focus on mythical and mystical elements. The preoccupation with European music theory and jazz widened his vocal repertoire considerably. Ricky's modulations from the medium voice range up to head ranges are striking. The homeland of the musician Mbasalala is Androy in the deep South of Madagascar. The Antandroy (Inchthose who come from the thornsInch) have an almost mystical relationship with their animals and they play an important role in religious rites. All these elements are to be found in Mbasalala's songs in which connection the a cappella singing in the tradition of the Antandroy enjoys the maximum of respect. Mbasalala masters it to perfection. The CD was awarded the Quarterly German Record Critics' Award.

Lesser-known thrashers Fallen Angel formed in Örebro, Sweden during the late-'80s, founded by vocalist/guitarist Johan Bülow and drummer Fredrik Linden. The group debuted with a five-song demo in 1988, rumored to have been issued in as little as 30 copies, before-having secured Joacim Persson (guitar) and Gustaf Ljungström (bass)-recording the four-song Hang-Over demo at Eagle One Studios in 1989. One track from Hang-Over, InchEtanolic Intoxication,Inch appeared on a four-way split 7Inch with APPENDIX, NIRVANA 2002, and AUTHORIZE the following year; after which-with new bassist Matte Hedenborg in tow-the quartet returned to Eagle One to track a seven-song EP, which they self-released on 12Inch vinyl in 1991.Fallen Angel eventually secured a deal with Germany's Massacre Records for the of their lone full-length, Faith Fails, in 1992. The 10-song album marked a significant step up in quality for presenting the band's tight and aggressive thrash metal, with subtle technical flare and fluidly melodic underpinnings. Having performed live alongside Swedish legends such as ENTOMBED and CANDLEMASS, as well as cult acts like TRIBULATION and KAZJUROL, amongst numerous others, Fallen Angel unfortunately found that just as they were hitting their stride, thrash metal was falling Inchout of style,Inch with death metal and grunge beginning to strangle the scene. Members went their separate ways, and Faith Fails would quietly become an underrated gem heralded by diehard thrash fanatics.At long last, 30 years later, Divebomb Records is thrilled to finally shed new light on Fallen Angel with an official CD reissue of Faith Fails, plus 1989's Hang-Over demo as a bonus. Fully remastered by Jamie King Audio, the disc will be packaged alongside a 16-page booklet packed with lyrics and photos. For the fans, by the fans!
