  • Next message: Frank Swart: "FW: AMERICAN ASTRONAUT NOW PLAYING!"

    We tried to hook up an interview with the Truby Trio for tonight's
    program to tie in with their Joypad show on Thursday, but tight
    schedules wouldn't permit it. However, we have the next best thing:
    an exclusive 60 minute mix that was done for Studio K7 and very
    different from their recent DJ Kicks release. It's a strong ten-song
    set that features some recent favorites alongside some more obscure
    tracks. If you can't hear it live, be sure to check the archives next
    week. For those of you in the Bay Area, be sure to listen for your
    chance to win tickets for the show!

    As is usually the case, I send this e-mail out on Monday evenings and
    wind up with more new releases right before air time. Last week's
    late additions included the newest entry in the always excellent
    Future Sounds Of Jazz series (Vol. 8), containing a slew of exclusive
    cuts from Atjazz, Kaos and Soulpatrol, next to remixed tunes from
    Attica Blues, The Underwolves, Shawn Lee and others that have never
    appeared before on CD.

    The new Mo' Horizions album, "Remember Tomorrow" is a slammin' disc
    of bossa jazz and silky grooves that will no doubt make my best of
    '01 list. Other new arrivals include Bebel Gilberto's "Tanto Tempo"
    remix album with contributions from 4 Hero, King Britt, Peter Kruder
    and Rae & Christian, Rae & Christian's "Another Late Night" mix disc
    and the new Interfearence album, "Take That Train" on Ubuquity -
    another winner.

    Astralwerks has just released "Expo 2000" by Kraftwerk, but instead
    of just reissuing the import tracks, they've added at least four
    versions that you haven't heard before. Ironically, we went out to
    dinner tonight and out waiter was wearing an Expo 2000 T-shirt.
    Clint: where do I get one? Also on Astralwerks: the Kings Of
    Convenience "Versus" CD that collects remixes by and collaborations
    with Riton, Ladytron, Four Tet, Royksopp (are these folks everywhere
    lately, or what?) and others.

    Finally, one of the members of a music list that I subscribe to
    recommended an album by Philip Cohran & The Artistic Heritage
    Ensemble and based on its description and a few brief song snippets,
    I decided to buy a copy. Recorded in 1967-68, the music is a vibrant
    blend of jazz and Afrobeat, highlighted by Cohran's hand-built
    frankiphone (electric kalimba), a powerful brass section and some
    political lyrics. Housed in a beautiful letterpress sleeve, it's a
    terrific package of outstanding music. For more info, check out

    That's all for this week - ciao for now!
