Few people have managed to combine aspects of classical, popular and experimental music from the second half of the 20th Century in a brilliant and original way. Aldemaro Romero, the orchestra conductor born in Valencia, Venezuela in 1928 arrived in Mexico in the mid-fifties on his way to the U.S. where, in 1952, he was called to accompany and arrange the recordings of singer Alfredo Sadel for RCA Victor in New York. While he was there, in 1955 he recorded the LP “Dinner in Caracas”, which became a world-wide hit, putting Venezuelan popular music in a modern and cosmopolitan light for the first time outside its borders. Later on, he’d give us another dose with “Venezuelan Fiesta”. Shortly afterwards, in Mexico City, which at the time was the record production capital of Latin America, he recorded the LP “Criollisima” at the RCA Victor studios with Pancho Cárdenas at the mixing board. Cárdenas was responsible for the brilliant, spacious sound of many of the records out at the time, especially the recordings of the sonoramic Juan García Esquvel. Romero and Esquivel had more than one thing in common. In addition to being piano virtuosos with a futuristic sense for popular music revitalized with vocal arrangements and original instrumentation, they each experimented in the recording studio and maintained a mutual admiration and friendship. Esquivel and his group even played at the Primer Festival Onda Nueva in Caracas in 1971, right along side Astor Piazzola, Dave Grustin, Augusto Algueró and Elmer Bernstein, among others.

With a mind-boggling 50-year career in the music business, 70-year old Andre Williams is showing no signs of slowing down.

The original rapper and R&B performer returns to his soulful roots on “Aphrodisiac,” enlisting the ‘Diplomats of Solid Sound’ as his backing band on this diverse an adventurous offering. Hints of blues, rock, R&B, rap and soul fill the grooves of this release that flows seamlessly from start to finish. Andre’s voice never sounded better as he tackles topics ranging from alcoholism (I’m Not Worthy), Hurricane Katrina (Thee Sisters), rejection (I Can See), and love (Do You Remember). But it’s also a fun, masterfully produced album that will transfix both past Andre fans and new listeners. Recorded in Iowa City, this is the real Andre…the real deal…from the ‘Black Godfather.’

Eddie Benitez's story is full of contrasts: a classical trained child prodigy turned Latin Rock superstar while hanging out in his teen years with the likes of Charlie Palmieri (his guardian angel, as he still names him), Louie Ramirez, Tito Puente and pretty much all the crew from the Fania All-Stars... and making a name for himself while at it. His debut album on Fania, “Night Life," brought him to the spotlight in 1976, earning his band Nebula rave reviews and the props of many of his peers, including names like George Benson, Al DiMeola and Carlos Santana. He also has the distinction of being the first Latino act ever to be featured at the mythical CBGB's. His career, not to mention his life, was screech halted twice, first with cancer and most recently this past November when a massive heart attack almost swept him from us. But here he is back,on his own, back with his band Nebula and, sooner than you may expect, back with a brand new project.

Dennis Coffey (born in Detroit, Michigan) is an American guitarist, notable as a prominent studio musician for many soul and R&B recordings. Coffey learned to play guitar when he was 13 in Ontonagon County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. At 15 he played on his first record session backing Vic Gallon on "I'm Gone" on the Gondola label. In the early 1960s he joined The Royaltones who had had hits with "Poor Boy" in 1958 and "Flamingo Express" in 1961. The Royaltones played sessions with other artists including Del Shannon. As a member of the Funk Brothers studio band, Coffey played on dozens of recordings for Motown Records, and introduced the wah-wah guitar sound to Motown producer Norman Whitfield's recordings. He also played on Edwin Starr's "S.O.S. (Stop Her on Sight)”, The Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing", and Freda Payne's "Band of Gold". In addition, Coffey scored the blaxploitation film Black Belt Jones. In 1971, Coffey recorded Scorpio which was a million selling single and in 1972 Taurus, both with The Detroit Guitar Band. Since then, he has recorded several solo albums, most of them for the Sussex and Westbound labels.

 "Some milestones of rock'n'roll magic are destined to stay where they started, and until now these early Cobras sides have done just that, languishing—like many of the musty 45s that inspired them—in attics and basements in the city in which they were created. But their time has long been overdue, and now here they are, along with a few unreleased sides from those halcyon early days, for rock ‘n’ roll fans the world over to blast loud and proud." Dexter Linwood (taken from the massive liner notes).

It Seemed Like A Good Idea ... At the Time is a work of extremes, complexity and contrast.  On the first single lifted from the album, Makin’ Eyes, moments of dark garage blues play out against splashes of peyote-fuelled Stones country rock idealism.  You Got It All fluctuates between garage rock brutality and moments of tranquil respite as Miss Kimmy’s ravaged vocals interplay with Dave Butterworth and Ryan Tandy’s guitar attack in a dialectic that walks the fine line between hope and despair.  On The Liar the Double Agents are nasty, but earnest, like a drunk pleading for a cigarette at the end of the night.  There’s old time rockin’ and rollin’ in the title track, stomping ferocity in Wasting My Time, and sun and dust stained lamenting in Sour and Vicious Man (the album’s only cover song).  It’s a little bit country, a little bit blues and a whole lot of rock’n’roll.

Over the last 16 years Leadfinger has done his time and written many awesome songs for great Australian rock and power-pop bands like Brother Brick, Asteroid B-612, The Proton Energy Pills, The Yes-Men and Challenger-7 but with "the floating life" he set out to do something totally different - all by himself - writing, playing, engineering, recording, producing and mixing 'the floating life" from start to finish by himself at his own dodgy home studio under his house on the southern edge of Sydney. The result is an album that is definitely unlike anything else you are likely to hear this year, bluesy and dark and at times electric with high energy and powerful riffs, it veers into the melodic territory of power-pop but with a noisier, harder edge...still with lots of guitars and great songs but with a fresh take on Aussie underground rock'n'roll. "the floating life" sits on the brilliant side of lo-fi and has been described as equal parts Westerberg, Chilton, Kuepper and Hitchcock with Fred 'Sonic' Smith along for the ride on lead guitar!!!!! Stand out tracks are the driving mayhem of "Edge of Suburbia", the 4/4 rockin fun of "Thin Lizzy' (think of The Replacements - Alex Chilton but this one is for Phil Lynott) and the stark acoustic power of "a floating life" - a song inspired by the work of Australian underground poet, John Forbes. "the floating life" has plenty of great songs with its main themes revolving around the highs and lows of life as a rock'n'roller on the margins of the music world, it is sure to surprise and endear itself to anyone with ears, so take the punt and check it out. Vinyl lovers will be happy as the amazing 12" gatefold also comes with an extra track that doesn't appear on the CD.

HOLY SMOKE! What we have here?? Just another of the FABULOUS bands NO OTHER LABEL BUT MUNSTER can unearth for you!
This is the definitive anthology of one of the WILDEST bands from Southamerica! Ladies and gentlemen, from Lima, Peru, Los York's!
Our collection, aptly titled El Viaje (The Trip), brings together their greatest tracks, taken from their four LPs and 25 singles, between 1966 and 1974.
Los York's were the most famous and succesful band in their country (more than Los Shains or Los Saicos), and in this best-of compilation you surely can find why.
Back in their heyday they were accused of drug-abuse and critiziced because of the evilness of their sound and lyrics which praised free love! Oh yeah, to balance it out one of the songs in their third single (1966) translated for "go to hell"" (vete al infierno)!! The very original feedback guitar playin' of Walter Paz will be a true discovery for fans of The Who's Pete Townshend and even Sterling Morrison from The Velvet Underground. On the other hand, singer Pablo Luna was some sort of crazy hybrid between Iggy Pop and Reg Presley of The Troggs! He was a true character, and a stage animal, which was shocking for a place like Peru in the sixties. Years later some peruvian journalist, in a funny "body-count", wrote that during his career Pablo had smashed a total of 48 microphones! But Los York's attitude was TRUE, and not a pose, unlike these days when scandal and outrage is a powerful marketing tool! Los York's were true rebellious souls, unstopable and genuine. And their on-stage and off-stage behaviour is still legendary in Peru. They got so famous that they even had their own TV show (El Show de Los York's) that aired for almost a year in the best The Monkees' Show fashion.
This amazing "viaje" (trip) to southamerican sixties music is available on 2LP and CD. Both with extensive liner notes with the band's story. The definitive anthology of this great band from Peru! A must for collectors and fans into sixties rock, freakbeat, psych pop, garage-punk, etc.
