320 kbps | 115 MB | LINKS
Garth Brooks was far and away the biggest country music star of the 1990s, but Billy Ray Cyrus was the artist who best exemplified how Nashville’s take on the music business had changed in that decade. Brooks was the first country act who was introduced to the world with the same degree of marketing savvy and commercial calculation as a major pop star, and with results nearly any pop star would envy.

Hills – Alive At Roadburn (2017)
160 kbps | 110 MB | LINKS
Forever destined to stand within Goat’s shadow, label-mates Hills may miss out on the hype & glory that the aforementioned psychedelic tribe get. Or they may not, depending on your point of view as to whether they are one and the same band. Forever entwined in mystery, where the former is getting slightly over-egged, Hills have left it to the music to do the talking. Over the course of three albums, Hills, Master Sleeps and Frid, they have created an other-worldy kind of music which takes in psychedelic extremes of dance, space rock and as in keeping with Goat’s breakthrough release, world music.
It is in the live arena that Hills truly excel and having wowed the crowd at Liverpool Psych Fest in 2015, they did the same thing again at the ever impressive Roadburn Festival. Joining a growing number of artists to have released a live recording of their show at this festival, Hills throw in another worthy addition to their increasing music collection.
The thing with Hills is that whilst they sound good on studio releases, live they take those songs and stretch them out into new forms. Always recognisable, they look for that main trigger, the part of the song which gets you hooked and they go for it. Not for them a facsimile of the recorded output, and that urge to continue to explore becomes a pivotal part of the live experience. It also sets them out as true psychedelic warriors and in a genre which is struggling to retain an identity, a beacon of pulsating light in the space rock wilderness.

ΝΙΚΟΣ ΠΑΠΑΖΟΓΛΟΥ η ροκ καριέρα του μέχρι την «Εκδίκηση της Γυφτιάς»
Σε μια παλιά συνέντευξή του στο περιοδικό Ήχος & Hi-Fi (τεύχος 166, Ιανουάριος 1987) ο Νίκος Παπάζογλου θυμόταν σχετικά με το ξεκίνημα των ροκ χρόνων του:
«Το πρώτο πράγμα που με συγκλόνισε ήταν η απεργία του 15% (σ.σ. η απεργία των εκπαιδευτικών στις αρχές του 1963 και οι φοιτητικοί αγώνες του 15% για την παιδεία, στο τέλος του ’62 και τις αρχές του ’63), που ήτανε το σημαντικό γεγονός της νεολαίας – όπως συνέβαινε και στον υπόλοιπο κόσμο, όπου τα παιδιά είπαν δεν πάτε στο διάολο κι εσείς και ο ψυχρός πόλεμος. Άσχετα με το τι φαινόταν σαν αίτημα, το κύριο αίτημα του 15% ήταν βασικά η ελευθερία της έκφρασης. Από εκείνη την περίοδο ξεκίνησαν πολλά πράγματα, όπως το τραγούδι διαμαρτυρίας (σ.σ. στην Αμερική). Αυτό ήταν που με συγκινούσε στο ροκ εν ρολ. Ο Πρίσλεϊ δεν μου έλεγε τίποτα, παρότι ο νέος αυτός ήχος ήταν κάτι το συγκλονιστικό. Αυτό που με τράβηξε σαν περιεχόμενο ήταν το τραγούδι της περιόδου του πολέμου της Παλαιστίνης (σ.σ. ο Πόλεμος των Έξι Ημερών τον Ιούνιο του ’67) και του Βιετνάμ. Έχω συνδυάσει, δεν ξέρω πώς, τα γεγονότα της Λωρίδας της Γάζας (σ.σ. το 1967) με το “Eve of destruction” (σ.σ. το θρυλικό αντιπολεμικό/ κοινωνικοπολιτικό τραγούδι τού P.F. Sloan που είχε πει ο Barry McGuire το 1965). Νιώθοντας λοιπόν κι εγώ αυτή την κραυγή διαμαρτυρίας που έβραζε μέσα μου άρχισα να ασχολούμαι με την κιθάρα και μαζί με διάφορους φίλους από το σχολείο αρχίζουμε να φτιάχνουμε συγκροτήματα, στα οποία παίζουμε τραγούδια σε αυτό το πνεύμα. Με τον Νέστορα Δάνα είχαμε φτιάξει ένα που πήγαινε αρκετά καλά κι έτσι σε μια περίοδο που ο Πασχάλης των Olympians πήγαινε στο στρατό με φώναξαν εμένα στη θέση του. Τότε πρωτοδούλεψα επαγγελματικά, πράγμα που αποδείχτηκε πολύ χρήσιμο».

Pedro Santos – Krishnanda (1968, Reissue 2016)
Not much is known about Pedro Santos, a Brazilian percussionist, composer and sometime inventor of instruments, who worked as a side man with a host of Brazilian luminaries. Krishnanda, released in 1968 on the Brazilian division of CBS records, makes up his only solo recorded output, and it is so singular and eccentric and eclectic that listeners will have a hard time extrapolating from it.
A whimsical mash of samba, bossa nova, rock, funk, psychedelia, field recording, classical and lush movie soundtrack sound, the album wanders through a puzzle palace maze of connecting rooms, here undulating in African heat (“Savana”), there pushing tangled Amazonian vines aside (“Dentro da Selva”), and everywhere pulsing to a syncopated, samba-style beat.
That beat — you’re not imagining it — remains constant (or nearly so, you can’t hear it in “Advertencia”) throughout the album, a stippled layering of hand- and stick-beaten percussion, some tonal, some not, some clanging like bells, some thudding like boots on ground. Santos invented this beat, apparently, and named it “Sorongo.” (It became a kind of nickname for the composer himself.) Everything else mutates and fluctuates in Krishnanda—melody, mood, instrumentation—but this distinctive cadence continues, a lilting swaggering stop-stepping heartbeat that comes as close to uniting these disparate pieces as anything can.
Krishnanda blenderizes traditional Brazilian sounds with a hodge podge of outside influences; conceptually and in terms of timing, it falls close to early Os Mutantes recordings. Yet Santos is far less enamored of rock and roll than the Baptista brothers. His work feels more spiritual and even metaphysical, and it employs a full orchestra rather than the typical rock band line-up. “Sem Sobra” billows with lavish strings and a hypnotic women’s choir, which might remind you of Rubias Del Norte. “Savana”’s melody comes from a sinuous oboe line, which snakes above drum slaps and movie-soundtrack-lush swathes of strings. After the relative sparseness of “Ritual Negro” and “Um So,” these cuts feel Westernized, like a bossa nova reimagined by Ennio Morricone.
Santos also uses samples and field recordings in some interesting ways, interspersing the plop and splash of water drops into “Agua Viva,” and an ominous rumble of thunder into “Advertencia” (which means “Warning”). Several of the tracks feel not just like sound track work, but actual parts of movies, missing only dialogue and pictures to turn them into film. The work is most fascinating when it veers the furthest from convention, as on the oddly tuned, spookily entrancing “Quem Sou Eu” (“Who Am I”) where twanging strings or, perhaps, keyboard notes have been dialed into weird resonances, like a harpsichord coming down with dementia. Or “Flor De Lotus,” with its B-movie string crescendos and stage-whispered threats, a scenario in sound, that melts finally into a stutter-stepped Latin funk.
And this is, perhaps, the charm of Krishnanda, that it implies whole worlds of sensory input without ever exactly defining them. You might feel like you’re in a movie house facing, inexplicably away from the screen, but give it time and you’ll see your own image stream, as hallucinatory and elusive as the music.
