Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 0 - June 2019 /// MARK DE CLIVE-LOWE - Heritage Vol.1

Is it too early to ask if the correct album has been guessed yet?

 

[Skalap]

I think I'm gonna order Heritage 1 & 2 anyway. Good job @Skalap.

You should already have these records at home. You never listen to me.

LISTEN TO ME!

Of course it is! Plus, you didn't cracked all the hints yet.

 

[blissfullychaotic]

went on street view and at those coordinates there's also "Afrodita" and "Ancestors Coffee House" - wouldn't rule out African from the mix as we all know how much @Skalap loves AA

Good Eye, I can definitely see the Asian Bazaar being there as a way to throw some of us off into different directions, well played, well played

Sometimes my bank account has the better of me.

If we get this one we’ll have all of the ROTM so far. I’ll get to feel like @Enoch

I dont think there is a chance of disappointment - Vol 1 Needles & Grooves, whats not to like!!!

 

[ByersVinyl]

this is how a certain other club started

How did this occur - I only go as far back as Wilko - War on Drugs era. Were they more unoffical email club at the start ?
I bet those were the good ole days eh. How did you even become aware so early ?

@Enoch will confirm but I think they started their subscription service with standard releases. The first VMP exclusive was Diarrhea Planet in 2014 (limited to 620 copies according to Discogs).

Yeah they were just buying a bulk number of a standard release added a computer printed cocktail and a postcard artwork (a literal postcard)

 

[sjaygray]

you're onto something.


look at the album 2 different front covers
Heritage was also released in 2019
View attachment 1775View attachment 1776
no idea what the connection with Norwich.....
but I'm sure somebody can stretch the clues to make this fit

@ChristoBee called this before me, I was just adding that I think this is likely it!

how did it come to your attention ?

 

[Captainfog]

Norwich soccer team is the Canaries. Does that lead anyone anywhere?

To the premiership!

This thread could use a hot dog sandwich.



Now this place feels like home.

 

[duke86fan]

apparently we havn't figured out the clues yet so we're doomed

 

[axeinthehead]

Taking another guess here:
Flying Lotus - Flamagra

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

Whatever it ends up being, thanks for bringing these Mark de Clive-Lowe records to my attention. Streamed the first this afternoon, just started the second one now before bed, and I'm loving them.

 

[chris_d_cole]

I see an Asian Bazaar, so it's gotta be something Japanese

if we are going this route, Heritage 1& 2 are all inspired by Mark de Clive-Lowe’s Japanese heritage.

HERITAGE is about identity and one’s place in the world - it sees MdCL sharing new compositions inspired by childhood folk stories, the mythology of his motherland and his own personal experiences in Japan, all wrapped up in his blend of jazz and sample culture influences .

I certainly would support this case and believe it to be true, bit what makes me unsure is this

Of course it is! Plus, you didn't cracked all the hints yet.

So that means we either have the day and night clue or the latitude and longitude hint wrong

Someone just received his Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 0 - June 2019 this morning I will wait for you all to spin though.

[EDIT] Yeah I am not that dumb, I am not adding anything else to my Discogs collection before May 31st

So that eliminates Heritage I & II since you already have it.

 

[ByersVinyl]

Sneaky little hint eh
