A shit ton of Bright Eyes.

Bright Eyes | Secretly Store

The revered band will reissue all nine of their studio albums as a ‘Companion’ series that gives Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nathaniel Walcott a chance to revisit some of their earlier material and re-work it entirely - with the occasional addition of some talented friends. Each Companion EP also includes a cover version of an artist they found particularly inspiring at the time of the original recording. First to receive the Companion treatment on May 27th are Bright Eyes’ first three albums - A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997, Letting Off The Happiness, and Fevers and Mirror.
“It’s a meaningful way to connect with the past that doesn’t feel totally nostalgic and self-indulgent,” says Conor Oberst of the forthcoming Bright Eyes reissue project. “We are taking these songs and making them interesting to us all over again. I like that. I like a challenge. I like to be forced to do something that’s slightly hard, just to see if we can.”

New album from the Swedish artist Many Voices Speak. This is extremely exciting, as I thought her last record Tank Town, was one of the best of 2018. Heads up the prices are listed in Swedish Krona, but they are quite affordable at $19USD for the black, and $21 for the limited. Shipping from Sweden is a bit rough, but not nearly as bad as I expected, coming in at around $12.

Manu Dibango - AFRICADELIC - Diggers Factory

Manu Dibango - Africadelic

After revealing his Soul Makossa to the public in 1972, Manu Dibango recorded the same year, a strange and majestic musical beast: Africadelic.

Following a request of afro-urban sounds dedicated to French TV and radio shows seeking atmospheric background music, Manu Dibango entered Mondiaphone studio, Louis Delacour's library music label. Embracing the composing for image game, the musician recorded in crazy conditions the tracks that will become Africadelic and African Voodoo, ignoring the destiny and future success of these two wonderful albums.
Africadelic is a real groovy gem in echo to James Brown or Isaac Hayes, mixing Afro-Soul, Funk and Jazz, with an undercurrent of latin percussions throughout, shaded by a rock guitar and a soul organ, like African Battle and Africadelic, the eponym track.

The opening title, Soul Fiesta, immediately drops a both dramatic and percussive tension before Manu Dibango starts his killer vibraphone riff. While Africadelic or African Carnaval make the most of a boiling horn section, Manu Dibango's saxophone solos regularly give room for the polyrhythmic percussion breaks. Oriental Sunset also enjoys a thrilling flute melody along with the beautiful Dibango's vibraphone. Monkey Beat and Wa Wa are, for their part, some proud funky soul approaches. Finally, Percussion Storm has Manu Dibango's African Pop Group marching off into the African sunset as the maestro unleashes a final and inevitable vibraphone melody.

Listening back to this album nowadays, it is hard to believe that all these now so called pieces were written in a few days and committed to tape within the space of a week...
Speaking of which, the short (and hot!) studio recording sessions were the first memory “Papa Groove” liked to share about this album:
“It was so hot that we could barely stay more than 2 minutes in the very tiny sound recording cabin! Each musician had to get in one after another to record his line, impossible to breathe in some other ways! »

This little story only enlightens once more Manu Dibango's huge professionalism and persuit of perfectness. This true World Music pathfinder leaves us, as his legacy, this burning Groovy Grail… so Africadelicious!

Yeah, what the hell? The jackets are already printed (he's posted about this on instagram before, the artwork was changed at the last minute), and the album is obviously currently in print. 11 months?!

Democracy now, Hiss later

Look. That coke bottle clear is hard to come by (😜) and he has to write 2000 hand written notes.

Yes!! I actually have the Microtronics on 3 in CD! I sold my copy of Mother Is the Milky Way because I figured I'd rather use the money. And the Maida Vale has never been released so I'm glad this is getting reissued. The Maida Vale is all 4 of their sessions so thats exciting
 
Zamrock/Zambian Releases

Few Zambian releases posted on Strawberry Rain's webstore - Website Exclusive Editions

Crossbones - Wise Man - Copperbelt Combo
Zamrock. Was in the VMP Anthology, this is the first time released outside of the set. Have to purchase the bundle for this one, full release coming sometime in the near future.

The Mashabe Band's - MANDELA - https://www.notdarkyetmusic.com/products/mandela-mashabe-band
Kalindula music. Neat release from what I can tell!

Few 45s of W.I.T.C.H.'s disco-esque era as well.

Had to cop the Copperbelt Combo since I missed out on the Zamrock Anthology and I have been consistently pleased with most of their releases in the past. My only complaint is how slow the releases seem to come from Strawberry Rain.

Also, not sure it had been posted before but another great Zamrock release was posted on here a few weeks ago.

The Tinkles - Chalo Kuwama - https://www.notdarkyetmusic.com/products/the-tinkles-chalo-kuwama-maize-website-exclusive.

I snagged a copy and can speak highly of it! This was the first ever Zambia Music Parlour release. That label was the original home for almost all the major Zamrock albums we've seen re-released over the past few years. (W.I.T.C.H, The Peace, Amanaz, Fireballs, 5 Revolutions, Ngozi Family, Blackfoot, and Rikki Ililonga among others.)
