Available in a CD sleevepack 'Transience' contains 14 tracks and totals over 1 hour of music, with this CD version including a bonus track "Happiness III". As a self confessed lover of pop music; 'Transience' serves to showcase Steven's more traditional songwriting skills and an opportunity to re-contextualise some historic tracks, not confined by the concept album framework. Originally released on limited edition vinyl in September 2015, Transience shot straight to #3 in the UK vinyl charts and made history by making Steven Wilson the first artist to chart solely on vinyl sales this century. Steven Wilson's previous studio album 'Hand. Cannot. Erase.' in 2015 was a worldwide monumental commercial and critical success, gaining his highest chart positions - USA #39 Billboard Top 200, Canada #24, UK #13, Germany #3, Netherlands #2 & Finland #4 in national album charts, as well garnering a plethora of 5 star reviews. The albums achievements were recognised when Steven Wilson went on to win an unprecedented three PROG Awards: Album of the Year, Box Set Design, and Commercial Breakthrough. 'Transience' is an essential introduction to an essential artist. Steven Wilson is due to appear at various Festivals in Europe over the summer before embarking on a tour of Australia, New Zealand and is due to return to North America in November. Press comments on 'Transience' LP: "For those who haven't heard much of him and who relish the verdant sonic luxuries of progressive rock on vinyl, Transience would be a lovely place to start" - 8/10 Classic Rock "Wilson's genius, only seems to deepen with each release" - Prog Magazine "An excellent entry point into Wilson's total reinvigoration of the contemporary progressive scene" - Record Collector "The brilliant sequencing of the tracks – largely taken from sprawling concept albums – makes this a uniquely compulsive listen" - 5/5 The Sun Tracks: Transience (Single Version) / Harmony Korine (2016 Remaster) / Postcard / Significant Other (2016 Remaster) / Insurgentes (2016 Remaster) / The Pin Drop / Happy Returns (Edit) / Deform To Form A Star (Edit) / Thank You / Index / Hand.Cannot.Erase / Lazarus (2015 Recording) / Drive Home / Happiness III** **Bonus Track Also Available: KSCOPE316/KSCOPE875 – ‘Hand.Cannot.Erase’ (CD/LP2) KSCOPE347/ KSCOPE917- ‘4 ½’ (CD/LP) Order from Proper Music Distribution : Telephone: 0870 444 0805 Fax: 0208 6765169 e-mail: sales@propermusicgroup.com ROCK NEW RELEASE - 16/09/2016 Gong - Rejoice!

Madfish will release 'Rejoice! I'm Dead!' as a 9 track CD presented in a digipack with 16 page colour booklet and as a 9 track double LP on 180g heavyweight vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with enclosed MP3 download code. Gong have entered yet another new phase on their four-decades-plus journey with 'Rejoice! I’m Dead!', their brand new studio album. This is the follow up to 2014’s 'I See You', the last album Daevid Allen was to record with Gong. Some say it couldn’t, or shouldn’t, be done. How could Gong exist without Daevid Allen? A few minutes into listening to their brand new album aspersions will be cast aside. New members and old coalesce. This is undeniably Gong. 'Rejoice! I’m Dead!' is classified as the band’s 28th album and the Gong legacy is the strongest it has been since 1974. Every member was key in the development of each new song - Kavus Torabi (vocals/guitar), formerly of Cardiacs, who joined Gong in 2014 in time for the last album unaware of the direction his new gig as a guitar player would take, Fabio Golfetti (guitar/vocals), Dave Sturt (bass/vocals), Ian East (sax/flute) and Cheb Nettles (drums/vocals) take on the mantle of steering the Teapot further into outer space and the inner ear. The voice of Daevid Allen features on 2 songs - “Model Village” and “Beatrix”, and the album also features guests - Steve Hillage playing a guitar solo on “Rejoice!” and Didier Malherbe’s duduk can be heard on “Model Village” and “Through Restless Seas I Come”. 'Rejoice! I'm Dead!' was recorded in London in the Spring of 2016 at Brixton Hill Studios, engineered by Nick Howiantz and Gong, mixed by Mark Cawthra (Infallible Ear) and Dave Sturt (Swimming Head). The band will soon announce touring plans for Autumn 2016 and Spring 2017 in support of their new release. “Inspired by the light, love and passing of our dear friend and inspiration Daevid Allen.” - Dave Sturt.

The attempts to suppress them were as mild as an airplay ban and as brutal as murder. With great sensitivity and imagination, Norwegian singer-songwriter Moddi has given them new life and created a moving and eye-opening album. Pål Moddi Knutsen, a 29-year-old from northern Norway, was an activist before he was a songwriter. As a member of Socialist Youth and Young Friends of the Earth, he realised that the songs they sang were decades old. “Beautiful songs but they don’t correspond to the reality we live in now,” he says. “That’s basically why I started writing music.” This impetus eventually led to his acclaimed 2010 debut album Floriography, hailed by Q magazine as “a heart-warming and beautifully constructed piece of melancholic folk-pop”. In January 2014, after two more albums, Moddi cancelled a concert in Tel Aviv in protest of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. On his website, he wrote “silence can sometimes be stronger than music”. After the cancellation, Norwegian singer Birgitte Grimstad contacted Moddi to tell him about Eli Geva, a song about an Israeli officer who refused to lead his forces into Beirut during the Lebanon War in 1982. Geva became an icon of the peace movement, but also a reviled man among those who supported the war. Fired with inspiration, Moddi made his own version of Eli Geva. When he performed the song, he noticed that it called forth strong emotions within the audience. From a list of more than 400 songs, Moddi decided to translate and rework 12 for the album. The only rule was that the element of the song which caused it to be suppressed had to remain intact, even when translated into English and with a different arrangement and melody. With the famous Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish’s Oh My Father I Am Joseph, for example, he changed almost everything except the Quran-quoting chorus, which caused it to be banned in many Arab countries. Pussy Riot’s Punk Prayer, which led to a show trial and imprisonment for the Russian feminist activists, is stripped of noise and returned to its melodic roots in Rachmaninov’s Ave Maria, but the lyrics are no less subversive. The stories on Unsongs span continents and centuries. They are as recent as Punk Prayer and as ancient as The Shaman and the Thief, a 19th century folk song from Norway’s aggressively assimilated indigenous Sami culture, performed here with the celebrated Sami singer Mari Boyne. Some songs, such as Billie Holiday’s Strange Fruit and Kate Bush’s Army Dreamers, became well known despite initial resistance. Others had dire consequences for the writers and performers. Vit Khang (Where is my Vietnam?) was imprisoned for anti-state propaganda. Algerian rebel and democracy campaigner Lounès Matoub (Open Letter) was assassinated by masked men for his criticism of the government. Most famously perhaps, the Chilean folk singer Victor Jara was executed during the 1973 military coup that toppled socialist president Salvador Allende. For Moddi, Unsongs will have succeeded if the album encourages listeners to learn more, and think more, about the different ways in which important messages are prevented from finding an audience. In this way, Unsongs contains both stories from the past and lessons for the future.

The Men were first reanimated in 2012 and have been semi-active since, revealing a stature and distinct influence that has only grown since their original incarnation. Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet existed originally between 1984 and 1995, and released three albums and twelve singles, appeared on numerous compilations (including the formative "It Came From Canada" series), toured extensively throughout North America and England, were one of the first Canadian bands to record a Peel Session for BBC DJ John Peel, beat David Foster out of one of the two Juno's they were nominated for, backed B-52's vocalist Fred Schneider on his "Just Fred" album, and scored a couple of feature films and the television series Kids in the Hall. Recent years have seen them named as finalists in Toronto''s daily newspaper, as the Best Toronto Band Ever, and be indicted into the mysterious Independent Music Hall of Fame, for being "true Independent pioneers". After years of being out-of-print and for the very first time as digital downloads— Yep Roc Records is releasing the original three Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet albums, - Savvy Show Stoppers, Dim The Lights, Chill The Ham, and Sport Fishin' - in deluxe gatefold sleeves, with expanded artwork, liner notes by Bon Von Wheelie, Bry Webb and Scott McCaughey, and contextual essays by band associates and a chihuahua. Translated from Latin and remastered from first generation tapes by Grammy Award winning engineer Peter J. Moore. Founding members Brian Connelly (guitar) and Don Pyle (drums) are joined by extended family member Dallas Good, of The Sadies, playing bass guitar for the foreseeable future, with select tour dates throughout 2016. Shadowy Men bass player Reid Diamond died in 2001 after a battle with cancer, so it is an honour to have long-time friend Dallas playing his parts.

'Errai' features four re-worked tracks from the band's critically acclaimed 2015 studio album 'Polaris' – "Survival", "Cages", "Tourniquet" and "Seven Names". The tracks have been re-imagined by the band's long time live producer and sound engineer Aidan O'Brien. TesseracT vocalist Dan Tompkins comments "It's been fantastic to re-visit & re-work the vocals to some of the Polaris tracks from a different angle and with the benefit of time and space. The normal process of writing TesseracT songs starts with the creation of the music followed by the lyrical content; this time Acle and Aidan have stripped away the music and re-created the songs based around the vocals. As a result this has allowed much more breathing space between both and also highlighted much more detail in the performance" Along with the new song interpretations the cover art for 'Errai' sees the 'Polaris' artwork having a 2016 make-over by artist Dan Mumford. 'Errai' will be released on 180g heavyweight clear vinyl with enclosed MP3 download code. After the phenomenal success of their own headline tour in support of 'Polaris', TesseracT have confirmed they will be returning to North America as main support to Gojira between 21st September & 23rd October. Over the summer TesseracT will be appearing at various European festivals. Press comments on 'Polaris': "Polaris is, at last, the platonic ideal of a TesseracT album, the one where they get everything just right. It's drama- bringing, supremely melodic and riff-heavy." - Revolver Magazine "keeps impressing with every release, going with different ideas and compositions while still keeping their identity"– Outburn Magazine "is best defined as a sum of the group's polished production smoothly colliding with an offensive onslaught of vocal and instrumentation virtuosity." - Metal Injection "start to finish, Polaris is affecting, captivating and bloody gorgeous" - Metal Hammer 9/10 "'Bold and brilliant.

Dalis Car, formed in 1984 by Bauhaus' Peter Murphy (vocalist), Japan's Mick Karn (bassist, keyboardist, guitarist, saxophonist) and Paul Vincent Lawford (rhythm construction). Initially, they recorded one album, 'The Waking Hour' in 1984. In August 2010, Peter Murphy announced that he and Karn were planning on re-forming Dalis Car to record a second album, the project was cut short, as Karn had recently been diagnosed with cancer and passed away in the following January. The tracks they did record in that brief reunion included a re-working of 'Artemis' from 'The Waking Hour' with newly added vocals, guitar, and drums, and renamed 'Artemis Rise'; and were released in April 2012 as an EP entitled InGladAloneness. The EP begins with the life-affirming 'King Cloud' and 'Sound Cloud' driven by Karn's dense and compelling bass and bassoon patterns and Murphy's singular voice, the songs contain lyrics that emotionally echo Murphy's response to Karn's condition and suggest musical directions the project might have pursued had it continued as a creative concern. Along with the inventively multi-layered re-imagining of 'Artemis', these pieces operate as the rhythmically propelled spiritual storm before the glacial calm of the two closing numbers. The Arvo Part meets Turkish chant lament of 'Subhanallah' and - prefaced by a mournful Karn instrumental - the deeply personal reading of Jaques Brel's classic 'If You Go Away' (a favourite song of Karn's), provide a moving conclusion to a poignant final statement. The EP also features Karn's Japan bandmate Steve Jansen on drums and original Dalis Car drummer Paul Lawford on congas; and was mixed by Steve Jansen, mastered by Pieter Snaper in Istanbul, with artwork created by Murphy, Thomas Bak with a painting by Jaroslaw Kukowski. Kscope are re-releasing this highly sought after EP on CD with original cover artwork and will be presented in a digipack sleeve.

'More Better Different' is Karn's sixth album and was originally released on Invisible Hands in 2004. 'More Better Different' sees Karn melding guitars, clarinet, samples and spoken word in nine mood pieces which swing from winningly funky "The Jump"; cinematic noodling on "The End Gag" to the wah guitar and 80's sci-fi soundtrack on 'Atyan B-Boot'. Each track carefully sculpted to produce deep atmospheric soundscapes that fans of Eno, Sylvian, Talk Talk or Radiohead will find transporting and beautifully optimistic. Kscope will be releasing 'More Better Different' on CD presented in a digipack.

'Three Part Species' is the seventh album from ex-Japan member Mick Karn, originally released on his own MK Music label in 2006. Here, he blends elements of electronica, hiphop, jazz, world music and pop. Highlights include the Harold Budd-like piano/ambience of 'Floating Home' and 'Chocolate was a Boy' or the convincing Middle Eastern drawl of 'Pitta Pop'. 'Three Part Species' illustrates more than any other, how completely in command of musical composition Mick Karn was, with the blending of so many diverse types of music that never sound confused in direction. It's impossible with each piece to predict which genre will come next, as the listener is guided through Mick Karn's unique world. Kscope will be releasing Three Part Species as a 10 track CD presented in a digipack.

Tjønn as Racing Heart, "What Comes After" is a political record trying to be personal rather than preachy. Produced by Hanne Hukkelberg (a renowned artist in her own right), the album is a stark departure from Racing Heart's debut record in both style and substance. Instead of looking inwards, we look outwards. Instead of being folk-based, we aim to meld acoustic instruments and synthesized sounds. This album has sharp edges. Genre-wise, "What Comes After" is an experimental pop album, inspired by musicians such as David Sylvian, Winston Tong and John Foxx. Aided greatly by the creativity of musician Jenny Hval who contributes both lyrics and vocals, the songs are propelled by the drums and programming of Martin Langlie (Susanne Sundfør, Pantha du Prince, Valkyrien Allstars). Recorded at Engfelt & Forsgren studio in Oslo and mixed both there and in New York by engineer Aki Nishimura (Elliot Scheiner, Tony Visconti) from Avatar Studios, NYC. Mastered by Morgan Nicolaysen at Propeller Audio. Tracks: Flogging A Dead Horse / That Doubt Returns / Bargaining Chip / New Economy / Letters From A Compound / Sleep With My Fists Clenched Tight / A Prayer From Our Leaders / New Economy (Slight Return) / Badlands / Squaring The Circle / What Comes After Moor Mother - Fetish Bones LPDG121 634457733213 £9.49 LP DON GIOVANNI ROCK Fetish Bones is the Don Giovanni Records debut of Philadelphia-based musician, artist, and activist, Camae, who performs under the name Moor Mother. The album features 13 songs conceived and recorded in Camae's home studio using a variety of machines, field recordings, and analogue noisemakers. The music is often harsh and strange, projecting both the visceral anger of punk and the expansive improvisatory spirit of Sun Ra. It's an album intended as a form of protest and also as form of time travel -- a collection of sounds that are events themselves, telling stories rich in history about the journey that brings us to today and the future we are creating. Fetish Bones is not an album meant to help you forget. It is made so that you will remember the injustices that we bear witness to and participate in. Tracks: Creation Myth / Parallel Nightmares / Deadbeat Protest / KBGK / Valley Of Dry Bones / DIY Time Machine / Tell Me About Me / Chain Gang Quantim Blues / By The Light / Cabrini Green X Natasha Mkenna / Nois Bois / Washington Park / Time Float Larkin Poe - Reskinned RHMU700 724101783111 £8.99 LP RH MUSIC ROCK Larkin Poe album Kin is relaunched with 5 new tracks conveying the heavier more rock side of these Atlanta Sisters.

The band's debut release on Crammed Discs the Guerre EP in September ("War EP", which also reads phonetically as "War and Peace" in French). Formed in south-western France, the band has moved around, some of its members also becoming part of Tame Impala, Stereolab and Melody's Echo Chamber, as well as working with Japanese band Acid Mothers Temple. Aquaserge's resolutely polymorphous music draws from sources as diverse as original psych pop, free jazz, noise, vintage French film music, pataphysics, and the most adventurous side of '60s/'70s rock (say, from kraut to Canterbury to cult Gallic bands such as ZNR). All absorbed and playfully transmuted to create their own unique, cinematic sound. Their tracks include instrumental excursions, intriguing harmonies, and pristine pop songs, always ready to joyfully burst at the seams.

"The Champ" reflects Mutter's primary interest in 60's American blues, soul and R&B as well as his persistent addiction to "a half decent tune". Play "I May Not Be An Angel" to see what we mean. Billy Bragg said "Mutter Slater has one of the greatest voices of British rock-and he writes a mean song too!" We could not have said it better.

The reissue comes as a picture disc with new liner notes, an extensive PDF booklet and a full 13 digital bonus tracks from early singles and unreleased sessions. First formed in Sydney in the mid 1980s, The Cannanes are one of the most celebrated underground bands of the Antipodes, with a book, a documentary and even a pair of limited edition Converse sneakers devoted to them. Over their 30 year career they have amassed 11 albums and innumerable singles on labels all around the world, and have toured the US, UK, Mexico, Japan and Europe repeatedly. A Love Affair With Nature holds a special place in The Cannanes' canon. After a series of early lineup shuffles, the band condensed into their classic core trio - drummer David Nichols, guitarist Stephen O'Neil and heartbreaking vocalist Fran Gibson. Each contributes songs that veer between insightful and absurd, conveying a 20-something inner-city existence that feels simultaneously fleeting and universal. Initially self-released on coloured vinyl by the band, Love Affair was subsequently licensed by Chicago label Feel Good All Over (The Magnetic Fields, Dead C), with a CD version a few years later on another classic Chicago imprint, Ajax Records (Mountain Goats, David Kilgour). They began touring the US and UK regularly, becoming one of Kurt Cobain's favourite bands (as mentioned in his diaries) and had further releases on quintessentially 90s labels such as K Records, Harriet and Little Teddy.

Their later releases on labels including Fierce Panda and Alcopop! Records. After a lineup change and the addition of Dean Smitten (guitar) in September last year, Doe finally got to work writing material with an album in mind. In March, armed with 10 new songs and bags full of snacks, they ventured to Greenmount Studios in Leeds with producer Matthew Johnson (Hookworms/Suburban Home). The result of that intense 5- day pizza- fueled recording session is the band’s first full-- length: Some Things Last Longer than You. Some Things’ still comprises all the elements with which current listeners will be familiar. Dueling girl- boy vocals sit atop crunchy intertwining guitars and thundering drums, lyrical themes dart from scathing and contemptuous ( ‘Monopoly’, ‘Sincere’ ) to thoughtful and introspective ( ‘Anywhere’, ‘Before Her’ ) and despite the occasional whinge from frustrated bassists, Doe continue to prove with this album they are perfectly fine without one.

The guitarist Jack Rose died at 38, in 2009, and listening back to his catalogue one has a similar notion. Like Coltrane, Jack Rose's last years were marked by a shimmering intensity, an outpouring of his spirit, onto audiences and records. With his virtuoso finger-style technique and restless guitar explorations - modal epics, bottleneck laments, uptempo rags - it's easy to hear a connection to tradition and at the same time a pulsing modernism: "Ancient to the Future" in the words of Chicago's Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. Jack Rose's work exists along the established continuum of American vernacular music: gospel, early jazz, folk, country blues and up through the post-1960s "American primitive" family tree from John Fahey and Robbie Basho and outward to other idiosyncratic American musicians like Albert Ayler, the NoNeck Blues Band, Captain Beefheart, and Cecil Taylor.

It contains a combination of studio and live recordings. Self-Titled is marked by a sense of forward momentum, the result of several years of constant playing, with fresh versions of a number of previously attempted songs. Blind Willie Johnson's spiritual "Dark was the Night, Cold was the Ground" is manipulated into a wailing slide guitar lament. "Levee" pops like a warning. "St. Louis Blues" (in this and it's several other incarnations across his entire catalogue) is a good example of Jack''s innate sense of swing, a crucial characteristic of his playing perhaps lost on some of his finger-picking followers. The centerpiece of the album, however, is the nearly sidelong "Spirits in the House," which begins with tentative weeping glissandos, and slowly reveals itself as a stately fingerpicked blues meditation. Jack Rose was a larger than life man with a hearty spirit - a no-bullshit gentleman and his death continues to reverberate among the community of musicians and music people he called friends. This spirit, as evidenced within his recorded output, has proven to be indomitable and continually vital.

A limited edition green translucent vinyl LP will be available in November 2016. "The Pinecones was our folk-a-billy garage band alter ego," singer-guitarist Rick Miller explains. "In the late '80s and early '90s, we would occasionally open up for ourselves as The Pinecones. What we played was not your typical SCOTS fare; more '60s west coast psych, folk and country. Those old set lists became the starting point for this record, The Electric Pinecones." The first single off the album, "Grey Skies," is a minor key mood piece with that folk-a-hill-a-billy psychedelic sound. Listen to how the acoustic 12-string riff slides into the band's hypnotic rhythms that propel Mary Huff's vocal into the mind's eye of times past and love lost. Thirty plus years, two hundred plus songs and a million plus road miles in, Southern Culture On The Skids continues to blur the lines between genres and once again delivers a stellar album.

Experiment! Boom! are all riotous cries of Various Blonde's multi-instrumentalist frontman Joshua Allen. The Kansas City band wants to fuel your next party with it's bombastic, dark, progressive style of experimental music that is a mixture of both pop and rock. The band has been described by Mills Record Company as, "Having all the sex appeal of The Weeknd and all the grit of Rage Against the Machine–the combination makes for a performance that is explosive." Their new record, All Bases Covered, started to come together with producer Adam McGill(formerly of The Republic Tigers) when he started performing with the band. The album was recorded between the band's home studio and Element Recording Studios in the spring of 2016. They recorded their debut album Summer High back in 2014 with Mars Volta and Jack White keyboardist Isaiah "Ikey" Owens.

The band recruited producer Sam Kassirer to help them convert the cavernous space into a working studio. The result is an album that finds the band deftly moving between driving anthems and quieter, more reflective tracks. And throughout Blooming Through The Black, the band continues to hone their unbelievable harmonies. It opens with “Stronger,” a slow-burner that begins as an acoustic folk number and builds to an electrified tumult. It’s a showcase for their instrumental prowess, lyrical chops, and unbridled passion. The title track—inspired by the sight of the first flowers growing back in the forest fire-charred landscape of Hell Canyon, South Dakota—finds singer/banjo player Chris Freeman blending punk energy with earnest sincerity in his delivery, while “Across Your Mind” rides a feel-good groove driven by bassist Harrison Goodale and drummer Erik Hischman, and “Water Through A Mill” ebbs and flows like a solemn hymn on top of Max Shakun's meditative pump organ.

Murph from Dinosaur Jr has been known to drum with the Glazzies! Peter Landi may have played every single instrument on the record, but lead single "Spill" definitely doesn't sound like the work of one mere mortal. Taking the tried and true alt rock formula of bands like Mudhoney and Nirvana, Glazzies exaggerate every component to the Nth degree. Guitars churn like chainsaws being driven into chain-link fences, drums explode with a few megatons worth of aggression, and Landi's vocals alternate between manic mumbling and hoarse yelps of angst. As indebted to the past as their sound may be, Glazzies keep things fresh with the kind of intensity that grabs you by the ears and shakes you out of apathy. - Consequence of Sound The Glazzies specialize in '90s influenced alternative that goes well beyond Nirvana worship: buzzy, haunting melodies that are sleek, yet perfectly rough around the edges.

The songs were born from trying and transitional times for the brothers, where faith prevailed and the songs are the fruits bared. As Light As Light is direct and ethereal. At times traditional, but from another world. With their instrumental abilities soaring and thumping behind words of opening and praise. Guided by a soulful voice of joyful longing, there's off-kilter low and live funk, 12 string guitar and pedal steel counterpoint, and at times pure gospel. As Light As Light is an album certainly unparalleled in its choices and the feeling of peace deeply embedded it the music.

He is the son of former Black Crowes' guitar heavyweight Marc Ford, and toured as part of Ford Sr's Fuzz Machine at the age of 17, before getting a regular gig with Ryan Bingham, where he stayed until 2012. The younger Ford has surely taken some valuable rock n' roll notes from his father, but has also put together a sound that's completely his own. The new album, entitled As You Were, is a big slice of rock and roll with plenty of sunny harmonies, ringing guitars, and honest songwriting. It was recorded at Austin's legendary Arlyn Studios. Produced by Stew Jackson (Massive Attack, Phantom Limb) and engineered by Jacob Sciba (Gary Clark Jr., Willie Nelson). On As You Were, Ford is joined on bass by Jesse Ebaugh (Heartless Bastards) & guitar by Ricky Ray Jackson (Phosphorescent, The Happen-Ins).

Noura Mint Seymali hails from a Moorish musical dynasty in Mauritania, born into a prominent family of griot and choosing from an early age to embrace the artform that is its lifeblood. Yet traditional pedigree has proven but a stepping-stone for the work Noura and her band have embarked upon in recent years, simultaneously popularizing and reimagining Moorish music on the global stage, taking her family's legacy to new heights as arguably Mauritania's most widely exported musical act of all time. Arbina is Noura Mint Seymali's second international release. Delving deeper into the wellspring of Moorish roots, as is after all the tried and true way of the griot, the album strengthens her core sound, applying a cohesive aesthetic approach to the reinterpretation of Moorish tradition in contemporary context. The band is heard here in full relief; soaring vocals and guitar at the forefront, the mesmerizing sparkle of the ardine, elemental bass lines and propulsive rhythms swirling together to conjure a 360 degree vibe. Arbina refines a sound that the band has gradually intensified over years of touring, aiming to posit a new genre from Mauritania, distinct unto itself; music of the "Azawan." Supported by guitarist, husband and fellow griot, Jeiche Ould Chighaly, Seymali's tempestuous voice is answered with electrified counterpoint, his quarter-tone rich guitar phraseology flashing out lightning bolt ideas. Heir to the same music culture as Noura, Jeiche intimates the tidinit's (Moorish lute) leading role under the wedding khaima with the gusto of a rock guitar hero. Bassist Ousmane Touré, who has innovated a singular style of Moorish low-end groove over the course of many years, can be heard on this album with greater force and vigor than ever before. Drummer/producer Matthew Tinari drives the ensemble forward with the agility and precision need to make the beats cut. Many of the songs on Arbina call out to the divine, asking for grace and protection. "Arbina" is a name for God. The album carries a message about reaching beyond oneself to an infinite spiritual source, while learning to take the finite human actions to necessary to affect reality on earth. The concept of sëbeu, or that which a human can do to take positive action on their destiny, is animated throughout. Advertised in fROOTS and Songlines.

In anticipation of the forthcoming Kenya Special: Selected East African Recordings from the 1970s and '80s compilation, Soundway release a special remix and edit 12" featuring two tracks from the collection and two exclusives. The A side kicks off with Batida's remix of a 1977 benga 45 (Ndiri Ndanogio Niwe) from the Mbiri Young Stars. Fast 120bpm plus 4/4 rhythms with liquid guitars and machine-gun drumming are married with kuduro drum programming. Second up and surging with sub bass, British production duo The Busy Twist inject The Kalambya Boys' Kivelenge (also from 1977) with a slice of London club culture. Many late 70s Kenyan benga 45s were cut loud and heavy with often ludicrous amounts of low end squeezed onto sides that technically shouldn’t have exceeded three-and-ahalf mins but frequently topped five. Perfect fodder for remixes these cuts were way ahead of their time production-wise and sound even more amazing considering the limited equipment Kenyan engineers had at their disposal in the late '70s. On the flip Sofrito's Frankie Francis subtly tweaks a sublime Nairobi Matata Jazz track from the mid '70s: focusing on the wobbly guitar lines and letting the blaring horns speak for themselves. Consisting of both Kenyan and Congolese musicians Nairobi Matata Jazz were a perfect example of how rumba from Congo (which consumed East Africa in the 1970s) was blended with rat-a-tattat benga style Kenyan drum patterns and Swahili language vocals. These same rhythms are in full effect on the last track by the Gatanga Boys Band, edited and chopped up by Hide and Smile (Frankie Francis and Miles Cleret) - super fast instrumental benga guitar and drum interplay, heavy on the cymbals and dynamite on the floor. Tracks: Mbiri Young Stars - Ndiri Ndanogio Niwe (Batida 1977 Remix) / Kalambya Boys- Kivelenge (The Busy Twist Remix) / Nairobi Matata Jazz - Mapenzi Hayana Daktari(Frankie Francis Edit) / Gatanga Boys Band - Tiga Kundega (Hide & Smile Edit) Order from Proper Music Distribution : Telephone: 0870 444 0805 Fax: 0208 6765169 e-mail: myorders@properdistribution.co.uk WORLD MUSIC NEW RELEASE - 16/09/2016 Various Artists - Real Rio MAIS033DCD 5052442009702 £7.99 CD2 MAIS UM DISCOS WORLD MUSIC A compilation of new leftfield, folk, electronic, baile funk and experimental music from artists born or living in Rio de Janeiro.

Initially travelling with the aim of gaining perspective as a musician and to discover a new world of music first hand, Huw found himself humbled by such a welcoming community of artists, mostly belonging to the celebrated Suso and Kuyateh griot families. The tracks are composed entirely from original source material, field recordings and Huw's talents as a multi-instrumentalist; performing tuned percussion from the region including the Mandinka Balafon, Kutiringding drum, as well as drawing on his skill as a professional upright / electric bassist. The music produced has a contemporary electronic sound, whilst still paying homage to a traditional Gambian aesthetic. Keira (meaning peace) guides the listener through Huw's journey up the River Gambia, being welcomed into remote dusty villages, where your people are the most important thing in life.

With her first solo album, Nha Vida (released in 2012, it included the track Ultimo Chance), Ceuzany revealed her tremendous vocal potential and talent as a performer, attracting huge interest from professionals and national and foreign media. Ilha d'Melodia, her second album, further underlines the quality of her melodic expression and vocal power.

It resembles Portuguese fado, but it is not the Creole version of that genre, which was looked on with scorn by the Portuguese colonists. Morna probably comes from lament, a style of singing brought from Angola by slaves. Its accents are rough and heart-rending. Etymologically, the word “morna” may come from the English verb “to mourn”, but its origin is obscure. Sailors probably developed its final form. Indeed, apart from Angolan chanting, it holds suggestions of Argentinian tango and Brazilian modinha.

Finding herself increasingly fascinated by the role of the environment as a character in music, literature, art and film, Nancy's new compositions explore the themes of human/ecological interaction that lie just beneath the surface of so many traditional folk songs. The lore and language of nature provide a repertoire of raw, universal images with which to address subjects such as gender identity and sexuality, struggles for human rights, love and consent, colonialism and the effects of austerity on our culture and ourselves. With her Sweet Visitor Band now an established unit, Nancy's writing is also focused on the musical qualities of band mates Rowan Rheingans, James Fagan, Tim Yates, Tom Wright, Greg Russell and guest pedal-steel player C J Hillman. Tom Wright's assured production reveals the scale and drama that the lyrical subjects require. Instar extends some of the themes introduced in both Nancy's Sweet Visitor album and in Murmurs - her collaboration with Martin Simpson and Andy Cutting on Topic Records and acknowledges the influence of contemporary nature writers Rob Cowen (whose 2015 "edgeland" memoir Common Ground provided great inspiration), Helen McDonald (H is for Hawk) and George Monbiot (Feral).

Their individual musical backgrounds are quite different yet their voices blend effortlessly, sensitively backed by viola, guitar, sometimes piano and the accomplished double bass player Pete Thomas. The three met at Nettlebed Folk Club in Oxfordshire, already admiring one another's work - they began playing music together shortly after and both Jackie and Pete contributed heavily on Megan's last album 'Head Heart Hand'. Since then they have been working together on new material and experimenting with arranging traditional and contemporary songs to fit their musical vision. Working with producers Pete Brown and Tom Excell they have recorded a 5 track EP entitled 'Wings' which features their haunting adaption of Brain Bedford's poignant song 'What's The Use Of Wings?'. The three have a relaxed and engaging connection onstage - two very different singers combine their voices sinuously, telling stories in song, gracefully blending their instruments to produce a mellifluous and sometimes melancholic soundscape. The girls will be out on tour with bass player Pete Thomas with selected dates through July to September including a special launch gig at St Pancras Old Church on August 25. Other dates still tbc. but include Oxford Folk Weekend and Whitby and Yarm Festivals.

Their songs cover diverse topics and bridge musical genres, making them difficult to pigeonhole, but after years of drawing on many influences and experiences they have acquired a sound all of their own and are, as the opening track testifies, comfortable in the skin they are in. As well as the upbeat radio friendly Here It Comes Again and the powerful ballad Ordinary Day (a breathtaking interpretation from While's lead vocal), Matthews, as we have come to expect, also offers two powerful songs of political comment. Pride, a calling for solidarity in support of LGBT rights across the globe and Are We Human, an answer to the intolerance and ignorance facing refugees fleeing to Europe. While's recent co-writing partnership with acclaimed songwriter Charlie Dore brings a new dimension to the album with three songs. As usual, W&M are supported by a full cast of world-class musicians. On bass, Neil Fairclough (Queen, E2K); drums, Neil Marshall (Albion Band); new addition Johnny Heyes on electric and acoustic guitars; Danny Hart (Flats and Sharps) on fiddle and banjo. With guests: guitarist Ken Nicol, Australian double bass player Liz Frencham and additional vocals from Christine Collister and Kellie While.

The pair move seamlessly between traditional, self-penned and cover songs; delicately exploring life, love, grief and death through a musical journey that feels perfectly of-a-piece. There is an almost musical soul-mate quality to the support Savage's singing and playing adds to Sanders' stunningly beautiful vocals, guitar and dulcimer work. Travers-Smith frames their special musical rapport within a delicately crafted soundscape reminiscent of his work with Ruth Moody, but with a clarity and intimacy one might more readily associate with Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings. The album features guest appearances on both sides of the pond including Jon Thorne (Lamb, Jon Smith), Kevin Breit (Norah Jones, Rosanne Cash), Jim Causley, Katriona Gilmore (Gilmore & Roberts), Jade Rhiannon and Evan Carson (The Willows, Sam Kelly).

"NEWiD" in its twelve tracks demonstrates an evolved, more refined and mature sound for Allan Yn Y Fan. The album features a mix of original compositions and the band's arrangements of more gems from the storehouse of Welsh traditional music and song. *Digital download distributed by Proper* Tour Dates 2016: 23rd Sep - Lyric Theatre, Carmarthen 25th Sep – Chapter, Cardiff 28th Sep - Borough Theatre, Abergavenny 01st Oct - Neuadd Dwyfor, Pwllheli 10th Nov - Blackwood Miner's Institute 11th Nov - Redwick Village Hall 12th Nov - Ty Siamas, Dolgellau 18th Nov - The Met, Abertillery 19th Nov - Canolfan Ucheldre, Holyhead 26th Nov - The Welfare Ystradgynlais. Tracks include Kate Strudwick's hauntingly beautiful "Tune for Lilian" commemorating a surprise bequest; Chris Jones' jaunty and nimble "Bishop of Llandaff's & Frank Hennessy's Kairdiff Quicksteps" and some terrific traditional tunes including "Dwr Glan", "Pibddawns Y Mwnci" and "Sbaen Wenddydd." The songs include some well know from the tradition such as the spell-binding rendition that Catrin O'Neill gives "Dafydd Y Garreg Wen" a capella, whilst there is the first recording of a mid 19th century protest ballad collected in Beaufort, Ebbw Vale and entitled "Gorthrwm y Gweithiwr" (Oppression of the workers). The song issues some dire warnings to 19th century iron masters! "NEWiD" is respectfully dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. Meredydd Evans - in part because Catrin learned some of these songs directly from him or his wife Phyllis Kinney. Allan Yn Y Fan will be touring in support of the album from September onwards to mark not just the release of the album but also the 20th anniversary of the founding of the band.

Sometimes eerie, sometimes majestic, but always profoundly musical. Press at the time: “Opalescent is a beautifully realised debut...using synths, phased and echoed guitars and pianos and chilled bears, his wonderful tunes drift from calm to eerie power like a restless sea” - The Guardian “The tracks are all blissfully ambient, with tranquil melodies and lazy beats, somehow Hopkins makes it sound classic not cliched “ - The Independent on Sunday “A debut album that fits neatly alongside heavyweight peers like Jose Padilla and Global Communication.

Featuring bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Ulysses Owens Jr., saxophonist Chris Potter joins the trio for an extended exploration of Herbie Hancock’s “Maiden Voyage”. 2016 Tour Dates: 11th Nov - Pizza Express Jazz Club (London Jazz Festival) At nine, Joey won the grand prize at the first Master-Jam Fest, an all-ages competition in Ukraine, which included 200 competitors from 17 countries. By 10, he was performing at jazz festivals in both Jakarta and Copenhagen. An invitation from Wynton Marsalis led to his U.S. debut appearance at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Rose Hall in 2014, where he amazed the audience with his musicality, followed by appearances before the Jazz Foundation of America at the Apollo and the Arthur Ashe Learning Center at Gotham Hall. His 2015 debut album for Motema Music, ‘My Favorite Things’, garnered two Grammy Award nominations for "Best Jazz Instrumental Album" and "Best Improvised Solo" for his performance of John Coltrane's "Giant Steps", making him the youngest jazz artist ever nominated for a Grammy. He develops fresh takes on well-known tunes, combining them seamlessly with his own original compositions in a way which invites both new and seasoned listeners in, and reflects the true emotional heart and soul of his musical personality. Now, as he enters his teen years, Joey takes another step in charting his artistic direction with the release of ‘Countdown’. Building upon the swing and improvisational style that made his first project a critical and popular success, ‘Countdown’ is a reflection of the growth and maturity of Joey Alexander as an artist, and a confident next step toward a limitless future.

Cactus is their first duo recording, a spontaneous set coming on the heels of 2015’s Themes 4 Transmutation, the latter waxed under the drummer’s leadership and featuring Shipp. On Cactus, nine spiny and flowering dialogic arms are presented in gorgeous sound, creating a language that stems from bebop, free improvisation and classicism but are of the present and specific to these two musicians. While the cognoscenti may be aware of Kapp'’s name as a firebrand in the mid-60s New York free music underground, he didn’'t record as a leader back then. Kapp’'s restless energy and streetwise lyricism, yen for the blues and supple templates for unfettered expression took him from New Jersey and Staten Island to Berklee College of Music, where he studied with Alan Dawson, and then Lower Manhattan. There, he played and recorded with alto saxophonists Marion Brown and Noah Howard, pianist Dave Burrell and tenor saxophonists Leandro ‘Gato’ Barbieri and Pharaoh Sanders before eventually settling in an artist’s colony in San Miguel de Allende. Shipp's piano is the perfect foil for Kapp'’s dryly doled-out metric inventions, his sinewy but factual movements through erudite melody, resonant stomps and granular sideways gestures creating fields and objects through which the drummer’s open, supple brushwork and woody rolls float, undercut and weave. Shipp has worked with a wide range of individual, creative drummers—including Newman Taylor Baker, Whit Dickey, Guillermo E. Brown, Susie Ibarra, Marc Edwards and Steve McCall—and says of Kapp that “Bobby is a marvel as he combines the best of old school drumming with a real feel for pulse and breaking the circle that exists in the avant-garde. However, he can open the beat up in a way where you can flow with the wave and never lose the line. His touch is really refined and that adds to the beauty of his sound.” Tracks: Overture / Before / During / Money / Cactus / After / Good Wood / Snow Storm Coming / The 3rd Sound Andy LaVerne - Genesis SCCD31818 716043181827 £8.49 CD STEEPLECHASE JAZZ To quote Danish critic Niels Overgaard, Andy LaVerne is "one of jazz's analytical workmen".

He celebrates these funk and R&B roots on ‘Summer Madness’, which sees him joins forces with trumpeter Rick Braun. When Elliot began preparing ‘Summer Madness’, he knew exactly what he wanted to do. First and foremost, it had to be funky. “When I was growing up in the ’70s and first learning to play the saxophone,” he says, “I was mostly attracted to instrumentally based R&B and to jazz that had R&B roots. This record definitely goes down that path, leaning more on the funk side.” The cast includes two other horn men augmenting Elliot’s signature sax work: trumpeter/trombonist Rick Braun, who also produced the album and, on several tracks, baritone saxophonist Curt Waylee.

While his previous three albums 'Mislya' (2004), 'Su La Take' (2008), and 'Pater Noster' (2013) focused on his vocal material, this is the first to concentrate primarily on instrumental ideas. It also marks the debut of his new band the Prophets - consisting of Mbappé alongside Christophe Cravéro (acoustic and electric piano), Anthony Jambon (guitars), Clément Janinet (violin), Arno de Casanove (trumpet, flugelhorn), Hervé Gourdikian (tenor saxophone), and longtime collaborator Nicholas Viccaro (drums, percussion). "The concept of the Prophets," Mbappé explains, "is a nod to visionaries like Miles, Coltrane, Joe Zawinul, John McLaughlin, Ravi Shankar, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, and Charlie Parker among others. We seek to extend their vision and imagine a music where there are no borders and no musical barriers. With the Prophets, I decided to come back to instrumental music...I wanted to get away from the strict song format - verse, bridge, chorus - and focus more on the music itself." With the unusual trumpet/tenor/violin frontline leading the way, the Prophets explore eleven Mbappé originals, which touch on a number of international traditions while bridging cultural divides via deft musicianship and a thoughtful, conversational improvisational approach. Mbappé is a much in-demand sideman and collaborator, leading to high-profile recordings and performances as a member of John McLaughlin's 4th Dimension and the Ringers (with Jimmy Herring, Wayne Krantz, Michael Landau, and Gary Novak), plus sideman appearances with such artists Joe Zawinul, Manu Dibango, Robben Ford, Slif Keita, Ray Charles, Steps Ahead, and saxophonist Bill Evans.

Ashley won the 2014 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocals competition and a recording contract as part of her prize. ‘Sunkissed’, describes Smith’s singing perfectly, she possesses an iridescent alto that radiates a spectrum of poised emotions. While clearly she’s capable of tackling material underscored by darker themes such as heartache and sobering social commentary, optimistic rays of light always shine through her voice. In addition to her stunning alto voice, she is also a gifted songwriter, having co-written half the album. A couple of notable covers include Hall & Oates "Sara Smile" and The Beatles "Blackbird".

Followers of the US bandleader's thrilling two-decade career have come to expect the unexpected, from his post-millennial breakout with Honeytribe, through chart-topping hook-ups with Jack Bruce and Javier Vargas, to acclaimed solo albums 2014's Ragged & Dirty (praised by the UK's Blues Magazine as "reminding you why the blues can be, quite simply, the best thing in the world"). When the vocalist/guitarist parted ways with Royal Southern Brotherhood in 2014 – having played a pivotal role in the supergroup's all-conquering early material – there was an audible gasp around the world. Thankfully, one spin of Ride Or Die vindicates Allman's bold step into the unknown. Recorded at Nashville's Sound Stage Studios and Switchyard Studios in May, Ride Or Die found Allman in good company, with the bandleader guiding the core lineup of Tom Hambridge (drums/co-production), Tyler Stokes (guitars) and Steve Duerst (bass) – and enlisting fairydust from Ron Holloway (saxophone), Bobby Yang (strings) and Kevin McKendree (keys). With the chemistry fizzing, it's a mix that lives, breathes and grooves, the antithesis of the cutand-paste jobs that hold sway in the Pro Tools era. Tour Dates 2016: 29th Aug – Colne R&B Festival 30th Aug - The Scene, Swansea 31st Aug – Borderline, London 01st Sep – Stage, Basingstoke Writing all but two of the songs – either alone or in partnership with his compadres – Allman showcases his ability to catch what it means to be human, while following his muse wherever it leads him. On songs like the thumping opening gambit "Say Your Prayers" or the brittle jab of "Galaxies", he invests blues-rock traditions with modern attitude and smarts. "Blues was born down South," he says, "and it's a massive part of the culture. But blues is a very open entity in my mind." Beyond the blues, this is a showcase for an artist with every colour in his palette. As you'd expect from a man with a famously sprawling vinyl collection – and a tattoo of Curtis Mayfield inked on his left bicep – there are nods here to every genre and era. "This album is really about mixing all of my influences," says Allman of the varied mood. "Soul, rock, blues, alternative and more. It's about making an artistic statement, not about fitting into any category. I produced this album to be an eargasm of emotion." On a tracklisting that runs the gamut, you'll find the upbeat, horn-bolstered soul of Find Ourselves, alongside the rueful lyric and poignant lilt of Vancouver. "Live From The Heart" is a twelve-string acoustic stunner with one eye on the apocalyptic newspaper headlines, while "Butterfly Girl" is a smitten ballad warning of a woman who'll "seduce and hypnotise you when she enters your world".

It will also be an overdue revelation for the uninitiated, for it shows Rush, at age 82, at the peak of his powers as a singer, songwriter, harmonica player, and, above all, an entertainer. To Bobby Rush’s innumerable fans, he is an American music icon, a legendary showman, a King of the “Chitlin’ Circuit,” and perhaps the most vital living Southern musician to have started his career on the Chicago blues scene in the 1950s. Not only has he made unforgettable contributions to the blues world but also to funk, soul, and a genre he's credited as creating: “folk-funk.” Produced by Grammy® winner Scott Billington, ‘Porcupine Meat’ features all-new compositions that range from the down-and-dirty funk of “I Don’t Want Nobody Hanging Around” and the playful double entendre of “Catfish Stew,” to the deep blues of “Got Me Accused” and the slippery R&B of the title track (about the charms of an otherwise malicious lover). Guest guitar soloists include Keb’ Mo’, Joe Bonamassa, and Dave Alvin. At a time when Southern soul music is having a comeback, Bobby Rush has never gone away, nor has he ever lost his relevance. This is how it’s done. Tracks: I Don't Want Nobody Hanging Around / Porcupine Meat / Got Me Accused / Snake In The Grass / Funk O' De Funk / Me.

Hailing from Denver, Colorado, the Austin Young Band delivers their signature brand of high energy blues rock, with an emphasis on guitar virtuosity and a soulful, natural vocal delivery. This album also highlights Austin's songwriting, which has become more personal, diverse and complex. The Austin Young Band performs mostly as a power trio, featuring Alex Goldberg on bass and Forrest "the Rim Wrecker" Raup on drums. On the record they are occasionally augmented by organ or horns. The final track, "Angel Flying Home is a moving tribute to Austin's father, to whom the record is dedicated, performed solo by Ausin on electric guitar and vocals. All songs are original compositions from Austin and the band, incorporating fresh elements of contemporary blues and rock that reflect Austin's many influences, from classic blues heroes like Albert King and Hubert Sumlin to contemporary artists including the likes of Gary Clark, Jr., Eric Gales and Joe Bonamassa Hints of broader influences can be heard in the songs, as Austin and the band draw from a broad palette of contemporary music. With an evolving and maturing style, the Austin incorporates the sheer honesty of the blues and performs it with modern, high energy sound that breaks new ground while remaining faithful and always doing justice to its traditional roots.

On 'North By South', Claire Lynch pays homage to her favorite Canadian songwriters on a set of bluegrass and new acoustic tracks. After her recent marriage to a Canadian, Lynch began to dig into the vast catalogue of songs written by Canadian songwriters and found the inspiration for this project. Working with Alison Brown in the producer's chair, she delivers stand out versions of Ron Sexsmith's "Cold Hearted Wind" with Jerry Douglas on Dobro, the catchy "Kingdom Come" written by Old Man Luedecke featuring Bela Fleck (banjo) and Stuart Duncan (fiddle) and the gorgeous maritime ballad "Molly May" written by Cape Breton's JP Cormier. Lynch also offers thoughtful reinterpretations of songs by Lynn Miles ("Black Flowers"), Dave Francey ("Empty Train") and Gordon Lightfoot ("Worth Believing") and contributes the lighthearted, self-penned "Milo" to the project.

Lockwood Porter - How To Dream Again HTR012 5052442009856 CD HIDDEN TRAIL RECORDS £7.99 AMERICANA The Berkeley, California-based singer-songwriter M. Lockwood Porter is part of a promising crop of up-and-coming Americana singer-songwriters. In the past three years, he has released two critically-acclaimed albums and performed all over the US, sharing the stage with acts like American Aquarium, Samantha Crain, Fernando, Aaron Lee Tasjan, and John Moreland. How To Dream Again – was tracked live in three days with minimal overdubs. While Porter dabbled in lush country-rock and expansive power pop on 27, How To Dream Again sounds tougher and leaves more space. The heartbreak and existential crises of 27 have been replaced with boldness, wisdom, and a deeper level of self-examination. “I’m in love, in a very healthy, serious relationship, and I’m happier with where I’m at in terms of my music, but with being further along in my personal life come new questions like “How do you maintain what’s good about a relationship? How do you keep it from going stale?” “Burn Away”, “Bright Star”, and “Strong Enough”, all ostensibly love songs, are really about the uncertainty inherent in love – that there is no guarantee that it will last forever.

A super-star group of musicians with a host of international experience, the AHE is quickly establishing an international reputation for its vivacious performances, which are faithful to the sound-worlds that Haydn and his contemporaries would have originally known. The Haydn Album features three of Haydn's best-loved compositions. The album opens with the Cello Concerto in C major, performed by ARIA-Award-winning cellist Daniel Yeadon. Written for Joseph Weigl, a young musician with whom Haydn performed, the concerto centres around an astonishingly beautiful cantabile - 'singing' - slow movement. Erin Helyard performs the Harpsichord Concerto in D major - most often heard on piano, but returned here to an instrument on which it would have been performed when it was first written. At the centre of the disc stands the Symphony 'Le matin' ('Morning'), with its stunning opening evocation of a sunrise. Acclaimed by the Sydney Morning Herald for their 'ravishing sound', the Australian Haydn Ensemble have established themselves as 'one of Australia's finest period ensembles' (Limelight). Dedicated to playing the music of the classical era - at the heart of which stood Haydn - on instruments and in styles which the composers would have known, the Ensemble has regular concert series at the Sydney Opera House's Utzon Room and in Canberra, and recently announced The Honourable Dame Marie Bashir as their Patron. The Haydn Album was recorded by acclaimed Tonmeister Virginia Read, and the playing of the Australian Haydn Ensemble represents the very latest research into performance practice at the time of the music's composition - including on-the-string bowing, and the choice of a harpsichord as the solo instrument in the concerto and within the orchestra as part of the symphony.
