Mixtape #133

03 December 2021


We fell under the spell of Tara Clerkin Trio and their experimental and hypnotic compositions drawing from a wealth of genres, from jazz, folk and dub to trip hop and downtempo electronica. The band's recently released In Spring EP is one of the most thrilling surprises of this year, so we’re over the moon to have Tara Clerkin and brothers Sunny-Joe Paradiso and Patrick Benjamin orchestrate this month’s wondrous mixtape with a very special selection of tracks. Aptly titled In In Spring, here's how the band went about making their selection:

"Each of us picked a song for each track from our new e.p In Spring that directly influenced us or we borrowed from in some way."

  1. Sun Ra – Trying To Put The Blame On Me (Live in Rome, 1977) [Strut]
  2. Chick Corea – Noon Song [ECM Records]
  3. Jabir – Bismillah [EGK / Linea Alternativa]
  4. Cibo Matto – Sugar Water [Warner Bros. Records]
  5. Gorillaz – Tomorrow Comes Today [Parlophone]
  6. The Durutti Column – Fidelity [Les Disques Du Crépuscule]
  7. Vincent Gallo – I Wrote This Song For The Girl Paris Hilton [Warp]
  8. Dirty Beaches – Floating Underwater Watching Waves
  9. Kenny Graham and His Satellites – Sunday [MGM Records / Trunk Records]
  10. Laurel Halo – Raw Silk Uncut Wood [Latency]
  11. Orbital – Belfast [FFRR]
  12. Holger Czukay – Fragrance [Grönland Records]

Grönland announces Holger Czukay five-disc retrospective box set Cinema

15 January 2018

There’s a wonderful treat on the way to celebrate the music of Holger Czukay, bassist and co-founder of legendary krautrock band Can, who passed away last September. On March 23rd, the day before what would have been Czukay’s 80th birthday, Grönland will release Cinema, a 5 Vinyl/CD retrospective box set. Spanning over 5 decades, Cinema compiles much of his solo work, collaborations with artists like Brian Eno, Jah Wobble and Karlheinz Stockhausen and also previously unreleased music. The release also comes with a photo booklet, a photo booklet and a DVD of musical slapstick comedy and poetic film ‘Krieg der Töne’ (‘War of the Sounds’) which stars Czukay as himself.
What’s more, the vinyl boxset will include a 7″ vinyl video, an innovative system that allows video footage to be stored on vinyl, featuring the bonkers and magnificent video for Holger ‘Cool In The Pool’ off his 1979 album Movies. Watch it now.
