- Nani Croze - East Africa's answer to Gaudi
Visit Nani Croze's glassworks outside Nairobi and you could be forgiven for thinking that like Alice, you've fallen down a rabbit-hole and landed in Wonderland.Kitengela lies on a dustblown plain outside the Kenyan capital, just beyond a small village full of ramshackle bars.A couple of kilometres further on, Croze's glassworks compound is a world of outsize sculptures, shiny mosaic paths and psychedelic buildings with wonky balconies that would not be out of place in Barcelona's Parc Guell. ナイロビの外ナニCrozeのガラス工場を参照してくださいあなたは小さな村ガタガタのフルだけを超えて、アリスのように、あなたはウサギの穴から落ちてきたこと、およびWonderland.Kitengelaに上陸したケニアの首都以外dustblownプレーン上にあると考えても許される可能性がキロの詳細のbars.Aカップルは、Crozeのガラス細工の化合物は、特大の彫刻、光沢のあるモザイクパスとバルセロナのグエル公園の場所からではないグラグラバルコニーが付いているサイケデリックな建物の世界です
- Various Artists: Angola Soundtrack – The Unique Sound of Luanda 1968-1976 – review
(Analog Africa/Proper)The 1960s and 70s were a tough time to be in the Angolan capital, Luanda. The country was continually at war, firstly as the Portuguese colonialists battled against three liberation armies, and then, after independence in 1975, as former freedom fighters turned on each other, with Cuba and the west backing different sides. It was a time of fear and paranoia, and yet, amazingly, this was a golden era for Angolan music. The recordings featured on this rousing and intriguing compilation are mostly unknown outside the African state, and are only available now thanks to the enthusiasm of Samy Ben Redjeb, who specialises in rereleasing classic African vinyl. The tracks are all by guitar bands, with a dash of organ on the final recording. They mix local and Latin rhythms with influences from Angola's northern neighbour, Congo, and echoes of western psychedelia or surf guitar is sometimes added. It's an upbeat, often hypnotic fusion that includes the intertwining guitars of Jovens Do Prenda, the dance music of Os Bongos, the Cuban influences of N'Goma Jazz and the half-declaimed balladry of David 。é, who was killed in 1977, perhaps because the politicians feared his popularity. An obscure release, maybe, but well worth checking out.Rating: 4/5World musicAngolaRobin Denselowguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Captain Beefheart: dust blows forward and dust blows back - an appreciation
Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart, was mysterious, alchemical, inexplicable and unrepeatableHe never sold many records. His biggest hit album, Lick My Decals Off Baby, reached number 20 in the UK in 1970. But in a recording career that lasted from the 1960s until 1982, he succeeded in redefining the parameters of rock music.His sound shifted over the years, from relatively straightforward blues rock to doomed attempts to court a mainstream audience; but at its height, it reached hitherto-unimaginable heights of avant garde experimentation.Beefheart's most celebrated album, Trout Mask Replica of 1969, offered a world in which rock music appeared to have spun entirely off its axis.The singer's earthy holler grounded it in the blues tradition, but the lyrics were wild and surreal. And the music seemed to be from another planet, far beyond even the most acid-fried psychedelic band could muster.Standard time signatures were disregarded. Instruments – which extended beyond the standard guitar, bass and drums were set up to incorporate bass clarinet and musette – clashed to the point that it frequently sounded like everyone in the Magic Band was playing an entirely different song to everyone else.The most obvious reference point was free jazz, but the most startling thing about the Magic Band may have been that nobody was improvising: every note had apparently been carefully worked out in advance by Beefheart (he wrote the entire album on piano) and drilled into the band via a regime that former members later protested was little short of tyrannical.Some 41 years after the album's release, Trout Mask Replica remains the standard by which almost all experimental rock music is judged, its reputation as a fearsomely difficult listen undimmed by the passing of time or its influ ドンバンフリートは、通称キャプテンビーフハート、錬金術、不可解な神秘的unrepeatableHe決して売られ、多くのレコードだった
