Various Artists - Groove Juice - VINYL LP

Live at the Bootleggers captures a moment in time, and a place in history when community was created around the buying and drinking of illegal liquor. Moonshine. White lightening. It was recorded live at a bootlegger's homebase in Fayette County, Tennessee in 1971 at the behest of Lattie Murrell, whom Bengt Olsson and Bill Barth had tracked down to document. Besides Murrell, Barth and William Floyd Davis, the contributors to this record just happened to be spellin' with the same bootlegger that evening;they are unknown voices, arising with glory from the soak of moonshine, and then fading back into obscurity.

It's easy to identify the classical guitar with Spanish repertoire. After all, Andrés Segovia, who revived the fortunes of the instrument in the early decades of the 20th century after long neglect, was a Spaniard. This does not do justice, however, to the major contribution made to 20th-century guitar repertoire by a number of national schools, among which the United Kingdom's is particularly outstanding for the quantity and quality of the pieces. This album offers a significant sample of music for solo guitar by four important composers Cyril Scott, Lennox Berkeley, Benjamin Britten and William Walton. Despite being relatively unfamiliar to the wider public, the figure of Cyril Scott (1879-1970) is one of real interest. Though it was written in 1927, Scott's Sonatina has only entered the repertoire of today's guitarists in recent years. It's solid compositional mastery gives rise to a beauty at once enigmatic and captivating. Lennox Berkeley's (1903-1989) compositions for the guitar span almost half a century and are a faithful record of his stylistic evolution. Berkeley's 4 Pièces pour la guitare is a sparkling collection in spirit very close to the style of composers such as Albert Roussel and Francis Poulenc. The Nocturnal after John Dowland Op.70 (1963) by Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) is also a theme and variations, but rather than present the theme and develop it with variations, Britten inverts the form, revealing the theme only at the very end of the piece after it is gradually unveiled in fragments of a musical mosaic cleverly scattered across the preceding variations. The irreverent japes of William Walton's (1902-1983) Façade for speaker and instrumental sextet, which in 1922/3 marked the composer's debut as an enfant terrible, soon gave way to a late-Romantic style closer to Bax and Vaughan Williams.

Facts and Figures is the sound of complete opposites coming together perfectly. The Legends combine the military precision of Kraftwerk and DAF with soft '60s style pop melodies; a hate of dance floors with dance music and perfectionism with the naive curiosity of a beginner. Over a classic album length of 10 songs and 34 45 minutes The Legends deliver an eclectic, still amazingly kept together piece of art. Sublime! Facts and Figures is Johan Angergård's (Acid House Kings, Club 8, Poprace) 12th album and the 3rd with The Legends. Yet, it still feels as if he's only just begun. The Legends' curiosity and lust is obvious and they've stayed true to their indie ideals. Facts and Figures is very playful. The Legends experiment with brand new sounds and combine them with every brilliant pop tune they've ever heard and every band they've ever listened to. Eclectic and truly amazing! The first 1000 copies of Facts and Figures come with a bonus tour documentary DVD. It's supposed to work as a warning for those who plan on starting a band. Album Tracks 1. Heart (Disc 01) 2.
