It s one of the lost classics of the 60s, a psychedelic masterpiece drenched in colour and inspired by life, love, poverty, rebellion, and, of course, jumpers, coke, sweet mary jane . The album is Cold Fact, and what s more intriguing is that its maker a shadowy figure known as Rodriguez was, for many years, lost too. A decade ago, he was rediscovered working on a Detroit building site, unaware that his defining album had become not only a cult classic, but for the people of South Africa, a beacon of revolution. Sixto Diaz Rodriguez was born in 1942 to Mexican immigrant parents in Detroit, Michigan. He recorded Cold Fact his debut album in 1969, and released it in March 1970. It s crushingly good stuff, filled with tales of bad drugs, lost love, and itchy-footed songs about life in late 60s inner-city America. Gun sales are soaring/Housewives find life boring/Divorce the only answer/Smoking causes cancer, says the Dylan-esque Establishment Blues. But the album sank without trace, thanks, in part, to some of Rodriguez s more idiosyncratic behavior, like performing at an industry showcase with his back to the audience throughout. As his music career became a memory, Rodriguez s legend was growing on the other side of the world. In South Africa and, to a lesser extent, Rhodesia, Australia and New Zealand, Cold Fact had become a major word of mouth success, particularly among young people in the South African armed forces, who identified with its counter-cultural bent. But Rodriguez was an enigma not even the label knew where to find him and his demise became the subject of debate and conjecture. Some rumors said he d died of a heroin overdose or burned to death on stage. But the tide began to turn in 1996, when journalist Craig Bartholemew set out to get to the bottom of the mystery. After many dead ends, he found Rodriguez alive, well, free and perfectly sane in Detroit, ending years of speculation. Rodriguez himself had no idea about his fame in South Africa (the album had gone multi-platinum, Rodriguez has received not so much as a Rand in royalties), and embarked on a triumphant South African tour followed, filling 5,000 capacity venues across the country. Rodriguez was still largely unknown in the northern hemisphere until 2002, when Sugar Man, the album s extra-terrestrially wonderful lead track, was picked up by David Holmes. The DJ discovered the album in a New York record store, and included it on his Come Get It, I Got It compilation, re-recording the song with Rodriguez for his Free Association project a year later. Now, Light In The Attic is set to commit Cold Fact to CD for audiences in the UK and America, who can finally find out why halfway across the world Rodriguez is spoken of in the same reverent tones as The Doors, Love and Jimi Hendrix.

How does brokenness walk? Or move through the world? says guitarist/vocalist Carrie Brownstein about The Center Won't Hold, Sleater-Kinney's tenth studio album. We're always mixing the personal and the political but on this record, despite obviously thinking so much about politics, we were really thinking about the person ourselves or versions of ourselves or iterations of depression or loneliness in the middle of the chaos. The Center Won't Hold is Sleater-Kinney's midnight record on the doomsday clock. After twenty-five years of legendary collaboration, rock 'n' roll giants Brownstein, Corin Tucker, and Janet Weiss rise to meet the moment by digging deeper and sounding bigger than we've heard them yet. Here are intimate battle cries. Here are shattered songs for the shattered survivors. The Center Won't Hold drops you into the world of catastrophe that touches on the election, says guitarist/vocalist Tucker of the title track. We re not taking it easy on the audience. That song is meant to be really heavy and dark. And almost like a mission statement, at the end of that song, it's like we're finding our way out of that space by becoming a rock band.

It is rooted in the stories, sounds and culture of South Florida, more so than any of his previous projects.

In 1993, guitarist John Scofield teamed with elder jazz-funk pioneer and saxophone great Eddie Harris and a tremendous band featuring Larry Goldings on organ and piano, Dennis Irwin on bass, Bill Stewart on drums, and Don Alias on percussion to lay down his soul jazz opus Hand Jive. Produced by Lee Townsend, the album featured 10 groove-based Scofield originals including the irrepressible „Do Like Eddie.” This 180g Blue Note 80 Vinyl Edition mastered by Kevin Gray arrives on the 25th anniversary of the album's original release on August 9, 1994, and marks the 1st time the full 10-track album will be released on vinyl.

Když Tim Bergling 20. dubna 2018 zemřel, hudba pro nové album byla z devadesáti procent hotová. Tim za sebou zanechal bohatou sbírku téměř dokončených skladeb, poznámky, emailové konverzace a textové zprávy týkající se vytvářené muziky. Skladatelé, se kterými Tim tehdy spolupracoval, se se svolením rodiny, která nechtěla Timovu hudbu nechávat zamčenou v šuplíku, rozhodli v nahrávání pokračovat. „Po tom všem, dotahovat skladby do konce... Cítím se paralyzovaný, i když o tom jenom hovořím. Ale hlavním úkolem dokončování skladeb bylo co nejpřesněji naplnit Timovu vizi,” přibližuje nahrávání Kristoffer Fogelmark.
Prostřednictvím programu Fruity Loops byli Kristoffer s Albinem Nedlerem schopni najít a zachovat Timovi přesné úhozy kláves. „Měl úplně jiný styl hraní,” objasňuje Nedler. „Jeho prsty se občas dotkly neobvyklého tónu, což jeho skladbám dodávalo unikátní zvuk. Timovi otisky se doslova nachází napříč celou deskou.”
