Soft Cell - This Last Night... In Sodom - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In the '90s, Jad Fair had five favorite bands and songwriters Daniel Johnston, The Pastels, Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, and Yo La Tengo. It's a good list, sure, but what's most remarkable about it is that, in the course of a dozen years or so, Fair made music with all of them in one form or another. Jad Fair has been prolific for half a century now, long before the Internet could create a simultaneous and seemingly eternal archive of everything someone with his predilections made. He's been involved in several hundred titles, at least, many of them out-of-print on tiny labels that do not exist anymore. In fact, one of those collaborations that Fair made in the '90s-Strange But True, with Yo La Tengo-has been hard to find, despite it's stateside on October 20th 1998, by Matador Records. For the first time, the album is being reissued on vinyl by Joyful Noise and Bar/None.By the time Fair played a party with Yo La Tengo in the mid-'90s, they were all friends, fans, and collaborators, having worked on or released records together. When Fair suggested they all head into the studio, the trio bit. The result, Strange But True, is as wonderful, varied, and wild as some enormous lawn of native grasses. This collaborative album showcases the aritsts' uncanny range, bringing us back to a time when indie rock was still free to be as weird and unruly as it's makers wanted it to be. Album Tracks 1.

Electricity is the fourth and most progressive album from Ibibio Sound Machine, and like all good Afrofuturist stories, it begins with an existential crisis. InchIt's darker than anything we've done previously,Inch says Eno Williams, the group's singer. InchThat's because it grew out of the turbulence of the past year. It inhabits an edgier world.Inch Electricity was produced by the Grammy Award- and Mercury Prize-nominated British synthpop group Hot Chip, a collaboration born out of mutual admiration watching each other on festival stages, as well as a shared love of Francis Bebey and Giorgio Moroder. The fruits of their labor reveal a gleaming, supercharged, Afrofuturist blinder. Electricity is the first album Ibibio Sound Machine have made with external producers since the group's formation in London in 2013 by Williams and saxophonist Max Grunhard. True, 2017's Uyai featured mixdown guests including Dan Leavers, aka Danalogue, the keyboard jedi in future-jazz trio The Comet Is Coming, but Hot Chip and Ibibio Sound Machine worked together more deeply throughout the process, collaborating fully. Along the way, the team conjured a kaleidoscope of delights that include resonances of Jonzun Crew, Grace Jones, William Onyeabor, Tom Tom Club, Kae Tempest, Keith LeBlanc, The J.B.'s, Jon Hassell's InchFourth World,Inch and Bootsy Collins.
