The 1 Hundred ::Tape - Milieu Plus

Just as there are certain records that continually sell year after year, there are some titles that are continually either just under the radar of popularity, or maybe just need a bit of a highlight to remind you they are still out there waiting for new ears. As an experiment we are going to build a list of one hundred titles, all currently in stock, that we think you should lend an ear to.

 Tape - Milieu Plus (Hapna, 2008 /// Used CD

Swedish trio, brothers Andreas and Johan Berthling plus Tomas Hallonsten create a music that is as difficult to categorize as it is easy to enjoy. Taking acoustic folk instrumentation and applying a gentle free form jazz approach along with some electronic connective tissue, the results are a pastoral and multiply detailed music that sound superficially easy and familiar but hides volumes of information beneath.

Wrekmeister Harmonies - Night of Your Ascension (Thrill Jockey, 2015)// New Vinyl

If you like your metal a little more expansive then J.R. Robinson's collaborative project is the perfect place to put your listening. Occupying similar territory to groups like Sunn O))), for Night of Your Ascension Robinson welcomed help from The Body, Mary Lattimore, members of Einsturzende Neubaten, Corrections House, Cave, Indian and many more. The album features two extended tracks that are equal part beautiful and terrifying and definitely epic.

The 1 Hundred ::Gold Sparkle Band - Fugues and Flowers

 Gold Sparkle Band - Fugues & Flowers (Squealer, 2002) // Used CD

Brooklyn, NYC based quartet/quintet that had a decade long run from early 90s to early 00s. They play a heady mix of free and post-bop jazz that combines firey horn interplay and a propulsive rhythm section that draws upon 70s Miles Davis minimalist beats. It's great driving jazz.

Couldn't find a clip online from this album, but the one below is a fine representation of the band and what you can expect here.

 Victor Herrero - Astrolabio (Feeding Tube, 2017) // New Vinyl 

Known for his work with Josephine Foster, also his wife, Herrero presents a lovely work on Portuguese guitar... a resonant 12 string instrument that has the folk appeal of John Fahey or Robbie Basho, but with a tinge of Mediterranean flavour. Very summery, sprightly, fun.

 Helado Negro - Awe Owe (Asthmatic Kitty, 2009) // Used CD

Debut album by Roberto Carlos Lange, formerly known for his contributions to Guillermo Scott Herren's (Prefuse 73) Savath & Savalas side project. Helado Negro (or "Black Ice Cream") blends bedroom electronics with a cool Spanish vibe that's great for easy listens or mellow party situations. There's quite a lengthy discography, but this is the first and one of the best.
