VARIOUS ARTISTS - Quare Groove vol. 1 - 2 x LP € (All City)

A long time in the making.... A collection of groove, punk-funk and electro from the Irish underground in the 70s and 80s. Spread across 2 12s with extensive liner notes on printed inner sleeves. The first slate has an abundantly sweet clubbier sound of past-funk groove music. The second slate gives you an edgier angle of what the post-punkers got up to, after they too got their hands on the same danceflooring. This is really but only the beginning: There's so much more to come! An essential and somewhat forgotten document in the history of Irish music.

ANTHROPROPHH - Omegaville - 2 x LP €21.99 (Rocket Recordings)

Anthroprophh are an outfit who take both garage-bound filth and wayward, abstract artistry to zones beyond comprehension. ‘Omegaville’ - the third release on Rocket for this power trio alongside bassist Gareth Turner and drummer Jesse Webb - lives up to its name in driving just such demented predilections into head-spinning chaos. "Structured by Allen’s admission akin to Can’s ‘Tago Mago’, this is a cliff-edge into sanity-risking overload which has much in common with the glory days of 1971- the Nurse-With-Wound list realm of record-collector gold where heavy rock, nascent prog and wilfully art-damaged netherscapes thrived." Double LP is pressed on greens and black swirled vinyl and comes housed in a gatefold sleeve.

No Mercy In This Land is a blues record. Charlie Musselwhite and Ben Harper were introduced to one another by John Lee Hooker.

But it wasn’t until 2013 that the two met up in a studio to record what would be their Grammy winning album Get Up! And as good as that record was, it was just the beginning. 180g coloured vinyl includes download code.
