Minoru Muraoka and New Dimension Group - The Positive And The Negative

Minoru Muraoka and New Dimension Group - Bamboo [1970]



Seems to be somewhere between Traditional Japanese Instrumental music, jazz with an almost Krautrock feel at times thrown in for good measure.


Summed up in one word - Brilliant.

The Animated Egg - Sock It My Way

The Animated Egg - The Animated Egg
The Animated Egg - The Animated Egg [1967]

The Animated Egg - Sock It My Way (US, 1967)



Thought I'd stick this weird drawly fuzz driven classic up for your listening pleasure. For anyone that's not heard this it's an absolute treat, and I would advise tracking down the album.

The entire album was later reworked by 101 Strings on 'Astro Sounds From Beyond 2000', from what I can tell it was essentially the same tracks with string overdubs - which adds another dimension altogether.

As is my understanding the same tracks appear on The Haircuts and the Impossibles - Call It Soul !. I'm not 100% sure of the correct chronological order for these 3 albums, but they are all worth your time.

Give it a listen. You'll be pleasantly surprised if you haven't heard it, and if you have heard it, you'll be pleasantly reminded.

  5. David Snell – International Flight
  6. Pentangle – Light Flight
  7. Experience – Snoopy Travel
  8. Barry Forgie – Mediterranee
  9. Keith Mansfield – Funky Flight
  10. Heidi Bruehl – Berlin

  20. Piero Umiliani - Dove Và Il Mondo
  21. Barbara Moore – Fly Paradise

This mix started life as a bigger project to circumnavigate the globe musically, which was more than likely too large a task. Eventually I got impatient with trying to piece it all together and so started to cull off a number of tracks.

What we have here is the finished article, a 30 minute travelogue and tribute to the novelty of air travel in the 70's.

Fasten your seatbelt and extinguish your cigarette, recline and enjoy your flight on September 70 airlines.


Enjoy.

Les Baxter - Hell's Belles


Les Baxter - Hell's Belles
Les Baxter - Hell's Belles [Sidewalk - ST-5919]


Les Baxter - Hot Wind (US, 1968)




I have been listening to a lot of Biker soundtracks recently, and there are none quite as good as 'Hell's Belles'.

Like a lot of soundtrack albums it's not 100% perfect, some of it hasn't dated brilliantly, but it's well worth a listen for 'Hot Wind', the magnificent 'Chain Fight' and the mighty 'Hogin' Machine'.

Roland Kovac - Prairie



Roland Kovac - Rhythm & Strings Vol. 2
Roland Kovac - Rhythm & Strings Vol. 2 (1972)

Roland Kovac - Prairie (Germany, 1972)



There's something compelling about this track. I was listening through one headphone, and since it's mostly stereo seperated the drums and electric piano sounded for a little bit like it was The Mice Parade or some similar Post-Rock ish band.

There are samples to be had from this one I suspect. Lovely break in the middle.

Enjoy

September 70 Presents: 19 Killing Shots That Rang Out Under a Blood Red Sun

  1. Miki Sugimoto - Ballad - Melon Woman After (Intro)
  2. Sou Kaburagi  – Sex Hunter Theme
  3. Gen Kaburaki  - Worms Onsen Geisha M-3
  4. Masao Yagi - Horror Girls High School Woman Blackboard Jungle
  5. Kaji Meiko - Silver Butterfly, Migratory Bird
  6. Toshiaki Tsushima – M-13
  7. Unknown Artist - Wide-Violent Bloody Kiwi M-14
  8. Sou Kaburagi  – Sex hunters PS-C 
  9. Toshiaki Tsushima - Hisano and Hirotani
  10. Hirose Kenjiro  - Kenka Timon Game Woman M-5
  11. Toshiaki Tsushima – At the Yakuza Quarters
  12. Miki Sugimoto - The Ballad of Zero - Melon woman After (Part 2)
  13. Masao Yagi - Woman Banchou M-2
  14. Unknown Artist - The World Of Sadao Nakajima Track 6
  15. Sudo Rica - Cold Generation
  16. Shunsuke Kikuchi  - Red 0 Division Woman Handcuffed M-18
  17. Sou Kaburagi  - M-11 Bloody Conflict
  18. Toshiaki Tsushima – The Confrontation / Prières
  19. Nihon Boko Ankokushi Ijosha No Chi - Kill Theme (with song)

I don't know if you can tell but I had an immense amount of fun doing this mix. It seems to be a tribute to fuzz guitar and wah wah pedal as much as it's a tribute to Pinky Violence / Yakuza style soundtracks from the mid to late 60's to the early to mid 70's.

If you haven't explored the genre of Japanese Soundtracks I strongly suggest that you do, there is a wealth of interesting music - Toshiaki Tsushima being one of the masters, also Hajime (So or Sou) Kaburagi.

Information is difficult to come by, just as much as the music is since the original text is Japanese - most of these soundtracks have been re-issued via Ultra-Vybe (Solid Records, Hotwax) and a lot of the tracks are doubled up on the amazing 'Go! Cinemania' compilations.

If you wish to explore some of the music - including the non psyche/funky material Wildgrounds is a good place to start.

If you wish to download '19 Killing Shots That Rang Out Under a Blood Red Sun' you can do so here.

Best downloaded and played LOUD !
Enjoy.

Piero Umiliani - Nel Villaggio

Piero Umiliani - Continente Nero (1975) [Omicron - LPS 0033]
Piero Umiliani - Nel Villaggio (Italy, 1975)



I've been listening to a lot of Piero Umiliani recently, and to be fair, there's a lot to listen to. Piero Umiliani was heavily prolific during the 60's and predominantly the 70's.

I've picked 'Nel Villaggio' not because it has any wonderful breakbeats, because it doesn't even have drums - just subtle percussion. I've picked it because it's just a lovely little gem of a track that, every time I listen to it, I can't shake the feeling that I've heard it somewhere recently.

If anyone knows if this has been sampled or is used on a soundtrack - please let me know.

Otherwise - happy listening.

September 70 Presents : Sowing Seeds of Sedition in the Avant Garde (n)

Newest remix, and it's a bit more light hearted and up beat than the last two. It's all too easy to be complacent and derivative, so I've tried to avoid the same general feel. I'm not sure what I was thinking using so many different versions of 'Aquarius\Let the Sunshine In' - but it works to a certain extent, depending on what I hoped to achieve.

Anyway - tracklisting :

Part 1 : The Avant Garde (n)
1 Dorothy Ashby – Myself When Young (Intro)
2 Vladimir Cosma - Black Flowers
3. Piero Umiliani – Echoes De La Nature
4 Pierre Dutour & Jack Arel - Water Sun
5 Emmanuel Brun - La Voix Psyschedelique
6 Mort Garson – Libra – The Flower Child
7 Bob James – In the Garden
8 Ivor Cutler – I’m Going In a Field
9 Mogol - Wild Flower
10 The Blades of Grass – You Turned off the Sun
Part 2 : The Age of Aquarius and beyond...
11  5th Dimension – Aquarius (Intro) / The Border Brass – Aquarius
12 The Night Strings – Aquarius
13 Dick Hyman – Aquarius
14 The Moog Machine – Aquarius
15 Diana Ross – Aquarius (Intro) / The Original Brasso Band – Aquarius
16 Al Caiola – Let the Sunshine In
17 Paul Mauriat – Let the Sunshine In
18 Galt McDermot – Let the Sunshine In
19 Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & the Trinity – Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In)

And here if you are brave enough to download it.

Wallace Collection - My Way of Loving You

Wallace Collection - My Way of Loving You / Stay (1971)
Wallace Collection - My Way of Loving You (France, 1971)



From the Soundtrack to 'Un Beau Monstre' which is shared with Georges Garvarentz and also includes the wonderful 'Haschisch Party'.

Wallace Collection are most well known for writing 'Daydream' which became somewhat of a trip hop anthem, although not as widely sampled as the Gunter Kallmann Chorus version.

'My Way of Loving You' is an excellent sitar mod stomper and deserving of repeated listens in my most humble opinion.

Barış Manço & Kaygisizlar - Trip (To A Fair)

Baris Manco & Kaygisizlar - Karanlıklar İçinde / Trip (To A Fair) [Sayan - FS-180]
Barış Manço & Kaygisizlar - Trip (To A Fair) (1968, Turkey)



There are some songs that just grab you when you listen to them, and this is definitely one of them.

I think I've professed my love of Baris Manco before, and I'm sure you'll agree this is a corker of a song. It's very reminiscent of something else - I get the feeling that it's like a Turkish version of the The First Editions 'Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)'.

Let me know what you think.

Vinyl Miners - Taurus Beta



Absolutely fantastic mix by Vinyl Miners on mixcloud. There is no track listing, so for all you enthusiasts of library, early electronica, 60's & 70's obscuriosities and dusty outsider music you can have some fun trying to spot the tracks. I did.

Please give it a listen or visit http://vinylminers.tumblr.com/ for more of the same quality mixing. As with my minor tirade on the DJ Alfonso post, it's nice to be appreciated so please show some support for the people trying to keep this music alive.

Enjoy.

Gary Walker & the Carnabeats

Gary Walker & the Carnabeats - Cutie Morning Moon (Phillips FS 1041 - 1968)

Gary Walker & the Carnabeats - Cutie Morning Moon (Japan, 1968)



Strange Gary Walker and Carnabeats collaboration which was a Japan only released. Interestingly it was co written and produced by Scott. Apparently Scott played bass on this as well. Well worth a listen, nice tune with a little bit of psyche groove about it.

Enter the House of Terror with September 70


Did you ever wonder what was behind the door of that boarded up old house? A hollow shell of brick and timber where the sounds of laughter and life that once filled it’s walls with warmth and hope has now been replaced with the creaks and groans of unrest and despair.
When you pass, for a fleeting second, you think you see a face at the window. But that can’t be, can it? No one has lived there for years. It’s a home in disrepair, unoccupied and alone. It’s a house that has lost it’s very essence, a house that has lost a soul.
This time, for some unknown reason, you decide to try the door. To your surprise it opens easily under your touch. The first thing that hits you upon stepping into the building is the smell. It’s the smell of neglect, and under that is the sweet sickly odour of past decay. Maybe there’s a dead rat behind the walls? Yes, that’s got to be it.
With a growing sense of unease you walk slowly down the hall toward another closed door. A chill runs down your spine, your skin begins to feel prickly with gooseflesh and you can’t shake the sudden sense of foreboding. You’ve seen enough old 70’s horror movies to know that this wasn’t your best idea.  You curse your all so human curiosity and put your fears to one side.
You can hear a hissing and crackling coming from the room ahead.  It sounds very much like the pops of static. After what seems an eternity you reach the door. You push it open tentatively only to see an old record player sitting in the centre of an otherwise empty room. You lift the arm from the runoff and place the needle back at the beginning of the dusty record, sit on the bare floorboards and start to listen…..

Aleksei Rybnikov - Unknown Song (USSR, 1973)



I found this very recently on the toys and techniques blogspot just surfing around looking for obscure/outsider music to listen to.

As far as I can gather from the little information on this it is the soundtrack to a Russian Sci-Fi series much in the same vein as 'The Tomorrow People'. On first listen I was immediately captivated, if anything demands a high recommendation, this certainly does.

Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

The Roger Webb Sound - Heavy Lace


Roger Webb - Moonshade
The Roger Webb Sound - Moonshade (1971)


The Roger Webb Sound - Heavy Lace (UK, 1971)



There's something compelling about Roger Webb, he seemed to have a sound all of his own. I picked this track especially because of it's otherworldly baroque feel, plus it has a nice little break in it.

The most recent mix by DJ Alfonso, and if I may be so bold to say,  he never disappoints. It's always a quality and eclectic affair comprising of Library obscuriosities, forgotten soundtracks and general 60's and 70's madness.

There are very few people out there representing this style of music, every once in a while it imposes itself into the substrata of the mainstream only to disappear again.

Please support anyone trying to keep the spirit of library production music alive, and give some of their work a listen, you'll usually find that the collectors are very passionate and put great care and attention into any work they generate.
