Not unlike his Stateside namesake Al, Martin Gore knows all about being number two. Having served as Depeche Mode's sole songwriter for two full decades (I know-- weird), he appears more or less
content with his role as the band's introverted mastermind; Dave Gahan, for his part of the bargain, gets the fame and the occasional overdose.



Gore's modesty, as it turns out, extends to his solo outings. It just so happens that his and Gahan's albums came out a mere month apart, which would normally trigger reams of tedious
comparison-and-contrast between the band's "brain" and its "voice." Luckily, Counterfeit 2 pre-empts any such discussion. It's a covers album.



That's right, the man decided to maneuver around his one universally acknowledged talent (songwriting), instead lending his thin and dull voice to eleven compositions by the likes of Nick Cave,
Iggy Pop and even Kurt Weill. Moreover, he's not even doing it for the first time. That "2" in the title is not there for oddity's sake-- it denotes a sequel: the first Counterfeit, an EP, came
out back in 1989.



This conceit is pretty disarming, you have to admit. For one thing, we can't accuse Gore of trying to sell records. For another, Martin's got a decent taste in other people's music. I can imagine
a worse way to spend an hour than listening to intelligently arranged, if antiseptic, versions of "Oh My Love" and "Candy Says". Overall, from its (genuinely?) self-deprecating title on down,
Counterfeit 2 correctly presents itself as a box of hobbyish bric-a-brac for friends and completists. It is on that scale that we should judge it.



The one big surprise here: a version of David Essex's "Stardust". Less a cover than a rescue operation, Gore's take imbues a piece of glam nonsense with sadness and gravitas. Brian Eno's "By This
River" sounds most like a Depeche Mode song-- circa Black Celebration no less-- albeit with the obligatory 2K glitchy-twitchy production. This should shock no one, since Eno at his poppiest and
DM at their most experimental are almost rubbing elbows (plus, he produced them. Duh).



Those searching for the inevitable big blunder, look no further than a pastiche of Nick Cave's crude epic "Loverman". Clearly infatuated with the original, Gore forsakes reinvention for
impersonation. Picture Cave's trademark bombast ("There's a devil crawling on your floor...Give him more/ Give him more") and then imagine it issuing forth from Gore's genteel larynx. Bad idea.
Needless to say, this is the longest song on the record, clocking in at 7:02.



Elsewhere, a Nico cover ("Das Lied Vom Einsamen Mddchen") and a detour into Kurt Weill fakebook fare better than you would imagine: there was always a vague whiff of the cabaret about Depeche
Mode. Now is probably the time to confess that one of my recurring adolescent fantasies was "DM Unplugged", with candles, a string quartet, a Johnny Cash cameo on "Personal Jesus", Gahan firmly
seated in a Gothic chair, and a grinning Gore behind a baby grand. I still think it's a great idea.

Former Transglobal Underground and Temple of Sound main-man Nick Page, aka Count Dubulah, formed Dub Colossus as an outlet for hybrid interaction with Ethiopian musicians he encountered in Addis
Ababa in 2006. The resultant debut album, A Town Called Addis, was widely praised for its border-stretching capacities and sonic adventurousness, giving traditional Ethiopian styles a modern
re-working with a thoroughly dubwise sensibility. Sophomore set Addis Through the Looking Glass continues the journey with an even more complex stew, featuring guest input from Dr Das of Asian
Dub Foundation, Jamiroquai’s drummer Nick Van Gelder, and founding Steel Pulse member Mykaell Riley. But its overall irresistibility truly comes courtesy of the Ethiopian players, who were
apparently more in the driving seat this time around.



The base of the music holds trademark elements of that which so enchanted audiences on the Ethiopiques series: vocalists Sintayehu Zenebe, Teremage Woretaw and Tsedenia Gebremarkos call to mind
the legendary figures of Ethiopian music’s golden age, while sax man Feleke Woldemariam and the Bole Better Brass blow an updated Imperial Bodyguard style; expressive keyboardist Samuel Yirga
also makes important melodic contributions throughout. It all serves to help ground the music in its Ethiopian origins, before Dubulah and crew drag in various blues, jazz, folk and rock
elements, ultimately blasting the whole shebang into the dub stratosphere.



On tracks like Tringo Dub and the playfully named Dub Will Tear Us Apart, everything hangs together exceptionally well, appearing as the kind of music that might have resulted if Kingston’s
finest dub mixers made a pilgrimage to Addis in the roots era. The bluesy re-make of The Abyssinians’ immortal Satta Massagana furthers this theme, and even if the Ethio-pop re-working of Uptown
Top Ranking is a weaker link in the chain, instrumentals Feqer Aydelem Wey and Yezema Meseret are quietly dazzling. By the time we reach the closing goulash of Gubeliye, the disc has taken in
hard bop, psychedelic rock, ragamuffin dancehall and streetwise RnB, hidden textures easily missed on first listen ready to be discovered. Dubulah says the aim is to constantly surprise, and he
really pulls off the feat on Addis Through the Looking Glass, for predicting the course quickly becomes an impossibility.

Qui aurait parié en 1998 lorsque sortait « Fantasque hits » que Jarring Effects pousserait les expérimentations musicales jusqu'à la centième référence ?! Peu de gens sans doute, pas même ceux
qui à l'époque étaient à la barre du bateau JFX ! C'est la raison pour laquelle nous avons décidé à notre façon de marquer le coup, car le centième disque est un événement marquant dans
l'histoire d'un label.



Pour cette sortie symbolique, nous ne vous proposons pas la classique compilation rétrospective mais 3 disques de titres inédits, de collaborations inattendues et de remixs rassemblant les
artistes qui ont fait le catalogue Jarring Effects associés à d'autres artistes amis, rencontrés sur la route ou lors de notre festival Riddim Collision. Un coffret à l'image de Jarring, fait de
rencontres, de confrontations et de mélanges des genres.

I have to admit that Aquasky were my d'n'b heroes, I had to have all of their early Moving Shadow platters and their radical style shift on the debut album Bodyshock was actually Mindshock to me.
Orange Dust is a bit schizophrenic mini-album put together from material recorded during their year-long stint on Polydor-owned label Passenger. There's some cool atmospheric d'n'b (Opaque,
Orange Dust, Plane Invaders), some fine uptempo trip-hop (Universe) and also some dubious hip hop experiments with weak rap and excellent turntablism. This edition also includes remixes from the
single Raw Skillz/Opaque.

Un grand merci au label Mais Um Discos de donner une seconde vie à "sem nostalgia" de Lucas Santtana, initialement sorti au Brésil en 2009, et qui est enfin disponible chez nous. Sans cette
réédition, on serait sûrement passé à côté de ce qui est sans doute le meilleur disque brésilien depuis "cru" de Seu Jorge (2004). Ce jeune musicien modernise avec brio le mouvement tropicalisme,
née à a fin des années 60 avec des artistes comme Os Mutantes, Gilberto Gil, Jorge Ben ou encore Caetano Veloso. Ce courant musical synthétisait bossa nova, pop, folk et rock psychédélique sur
fond de contestation politique.



Le disque se situe entre la beauté mélancolique des chansons de Caetano Veloso et les bidouillages psychédéliques de Tom Ze. Lucas Santtana s'est pourtant mis de sacrées contraintes pour réaliser
ce petit bijou. En effet, mis à part quelques sons de la nature (des bruits d'insectes par exemple), tous les sons proviennent uniquement de sa guitare ou alors de samples d'instrus de grands
noms de la musique brésilienne (Baden Powell, Joao Gilberto, Jorge Ben...) pour le morceau "super violao mashup".



En attendant son nouvel album prévu pour début 2012, je ne peux que vous conseiller de tendre vos oreilles vers ces douze magnifiques compos où se croisent guitares acoustiques, samba,
bidouillages électro psychédéliques et mélodies pop. Indispensable !

Actually thought their name is The Odd Trio, it seems I was wrong. And I admit it when I’m fucking up things. For God sake I’m not perfect. Yet. :evil: I’m willing to improve myself.



BadBadNotGood are back with another free EP, can grab it from their Bandcamp page or via Mediafire. Matt Tavares on piano, Alex Sowinski on drums and Chester Hansen on bass are three talented
guys from Toronto and they plays smooth, but groovy modern jazz balancing between classic aromas and post-bop flavors. Experimental, still classy charming, smooth and exciting. Something
absolutely nice to listening to. It’s quite an unique blending of traditional jazz and avant-garde experimentation, improvisations. Absolutely fresh and sparking.
