ANIBAL VELASQUEZ Y SU CONJUNTO - MAMBO LOCO - ANALOG AFRICA
Nobody embodies more the city of Barranquilla’s rich musical heritage than the master accordionist Anibal Velasquez. Known affectionately by his fans as “El Mago” (the Magician), Anibal has been one of the most prolific musicians of Colombia’s Musica Tropical movement.
The Analog Africa label throws us a surprising yet delightful curveball with their newest release, as they shift their focus to Colombia and the stunning music of bandleader and accordionist Anibal Velasquez. Mambo Loco collects ten sizzling, throbbing cumbias and guarachas by a bandleader who started out as an accordion prodigy, and went on to become one of Colombia's most innovative musicians, creating wild, high octane fusions of assorted Cuban and Colombian dance styles into relentless, pulsating thickets of rhythm and the near-psychedelic swirls and puffs of his accordion playing. I rarely say this about any record -- it seriously isn't long enough. I want more!! These beats are infectious, the chants are electrifying, and the sensuality is overflowing. http://www.othermusic.com/2010april29update.html
Zs - NEW SLAVES - THE SOCIAL REGISTRY
New Slaves is the new album from Zs, and is the most physically visceral experimental LP we’ve heard in a minute. Hitting with a similar impact as Oughts giants like The Boredoms’ Vision Creation Newsun and Black Dice’s Beaches and Canyons (while sounding nothing like them), it is a true behemoth – epic, unapologetic, painfully and artfully composed, mind-boggling in complexity, original in sound and intent, while maintaining a minimalist, chugging funk groove throughout its precise post-capitalist haze. New Slaves is arguably the most defnitive statement from a band that have been challenging listeners for a decade, demonstrating, over the course of 70 minutes, just how versatile their sound can be.
New Slaves moves the band fearlessly into more rhythmic, noisy, and downright terrifying waters…the band has transformed itself into a battering ram of brackish sound and befuddling rhythms--think of Steve Reich phasing experiments produced into a blackened soup by the Boredoms and you're getting close; think Black Dice performed by Sun Ra and you're getting closer. - Village Voice
New Slaves is an imposing-sounding album, full of deep echo, with weird juxtapositions of close and faraway sounds, of real tones and digitally altered ones. One thing about Zs you notice right away: they play hard, and they play well."- New York Times
