Smote Synesthesiac - A Grand Stream - VINYL LP

Triple vinyl LP pressing. Radio Days & Rarities is the third volume in the series of Manfred Mann BBC recordings highlighting the radio appearances of Manfred Mann Chapter Three and numerous film soundtrack recordings, commercial jingles and various studio rarities. When pop group Manfred Mann broke up while near the top of the UK charts, Manfred Mann and Mike Hugg were quietly assembling Manfred Mann Chapter Three - a free-form group aimed at the growing album market. In addition to Mann and Hugg, the core of Chapter Three included sax/flute player Bernie Living, bassist Steve York, and drummer Craig Collinge. BBC legend Brian Matthew guided fans through this period by interviewing Mann and Hugg and presenting fresh versions of three tracks InchSometimes,Inch InchTimeInch and InchOne Way GlassInch (which would later be sampled by The Prodigy and Public Enemy). Also featured on this volume are unique items from Australian and Swedish radio as well as early versions of InchKonekufInch and InchTimeInch from Chapter Three's debut album, and three tracks from an unissued third album. Some of the Mann-Hugg film work debuting here includes the entire InchVenus In FursInch soundtrack, InchBroken-Glass Lives,Inch and a new version of InchOne Way GlassInch which was part of the soundtrack for the film InchChristaInch (aka InchSwedish Fly GirlsInch). Super-rare singles masters have also been included in brilliant quality, especially the three commercially released jingles that Mann and Hugg produced in 1969 and 1970 InchThe Michelin Theme (Go Radial, Go Michelin),Inch InchThe Maxwell House Shake,Inch and the long-running InchSki 'Full Of Fitness' Theme.Inch Album Tracks 1.

Cistern is a rock band from Squamish, BC, rooted in the unceded land of the S?wx_wú7mesh (Squamish) Nation and formed by the restless souls of Noah Varley, Noah Wilson, McKinley Languedoc, and Chris Boys, the band channels the raw, scrappy energy of friends forging awe and anguish into song. As Ursula Le Guin once wrote in her Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, InchIt's a strange realism for a strange realityInch-a fitting description of the world Cistern builds with their music. Drawing from the collaborative sparks of their previous projects (Loam, Good Normal, Painted Fruit, and N0V3L), Cistern has carved a distinct sound that merges intricate instrumentation with DIY experimentation. Their debut album, Head Full of Questions (January 2024), is a tightly crafted collection of nine tracks that traverse jaunty rhythms and tightly coiled post-punk. This was followed by New Standard (May 2024), a five-song EP released through Meat Machine Records. The EP showcases their knack for crafting raw, tape-warm anthems recorded on an 8-track tape machine. The songs dive into existential and everyday themes with jittery tension, from the tangled relationships of InchCrisisInch to the hymn-like individuality of InchMetal DetectorInch and the high-wire balance of InchPendulum.Inch Cistern's sound draws inspiration from indie rock icons like Modest Mouse, Alex G, and Duster, balancing atmospheric grooves with tight, harmonious, and dissonant instrumentation. Their music is as intuitive as it is experimental-a testament to the band's DIY ethos and creative synergy. Produced by Mikhail Oreshkov (N0V3L), mixed by Michael Halls, and mastered by David Parry (Loving), their recordings capture both the chaos and clarity of their vision. 2024 marked Cistern's live debut, with standout performances at East Town Get Down and Sled Island Festival, earning them a reputation for delivering charged
