V.A. : Thai Beat a go-go vol 2 (THAI,60’s-‘70s)
This is a perfect compilation of amusing, funny all great singles in swing, twist, beat, rock’n’roll style with some covers and with an a-gogo touch or style reference. The introduction title “groovy 60’s sounds from the land is smile” is true in every sense. The songs are sung with seriousness while amusing themselves, but they are in fact so amusing, and make life look so easy and simple. Some of the songs in Thai use their song / voice / words very much like a separate instrument, very colourful. There’s a true Thai Elvis track, a “Je t’aime moi non plus” (Gainsbourg) version in Thai, a “Lulu” cover, a very funny Chipmonks / Stroumph / Smurfen helium voice track, one charming “incorrectly” sung song. And it ends with the oddity with psych effect from The Fox which we knew from the Steam Kodok compilation before. This comes with an interesting booklet with some great covers. Mastered professionally with a perfect sound ! Highly recommended to fun fans ! PS. This period of western influenced rare recordings was done during the neighbouring Vietnam War, when American GI’s looking for kicks in Thailand, exposing Thais to western pop being broadcasted in hotel bars and radio. Elvis, Beatles and Ventures were amongst the most popular names.

Riding the Storm / Cro-magnon
As the Cro-Magnon sound gets progressively more heavily textured and atmospheric on their successive and still stellar LPs, the trio scales it back a bit for the Mellow Out & Acoustic -- a groovy batch of jazz funk covers and originals! The vibe is actually often electric, cut from cloth of the cosmos, with tight rhythms -- the mellowness is more in the easygoing mood. And speaking of mood, the Cro-Magnon crew covers two tracks by Moodymann -- "Black Mahogani" and "Technologystolemyvinyle" -- plus a keyboard lounge take on the Jackson 5's "Never Can Say Goodbye", a similarly easy grooving take on the Roy Ayers classic "Mystic Voyage", the originals "Silent Wave", "Beyond The Summer" and "After All That" -- plus "Mysterious Vibes" and "Love Bite".

DOWNLOAD : The Budos Band - The Budos Band II
Daptone est un label dont la qualité et le flair ne sont plus à démontrer depuis le succès récent et peu surprenant de Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings. Habitué à la sortie de 45T de deep funk depuis quelques années, qui nous ont valu quelques très bonnes surprises comme le retour de Lee Fields ou les Sugarmen 3 , ce label sort au coup par coup quelques albums comme tout droit sortis de la période 68-73, à la fois soul dure et funk hypnothique (...)

DOWNLOAD : Sharon Jones & The Dap-kings - Naturally
Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings are a funk/soul band. They are signed to Daptone Records, where the Dap-Kings are the house band. They are widely thought to be spearheads of a revivalist movement that aims to capture the essence of funk/soul music as it was at its height in the mid-1960s to mid-1970s. Part of the way this is achieved is to shun modern digital recording methods in favour of using traditional analogue recording equipment. The type of instruments used by the band may also be considered limited to those that would have been available up until the mid seventies.
