SOUL UNLIMITED Radioshow 637

I eagerly awaited Stereolab’s new album, their first album of new music in 15 years. The band’s sound has always been unique and timeless. So it stands to reason that the band would simply pick up musically where they left off 15 years ago. Stereolab consistently develop their retro-futuristic sound, and the music is as impressively eclectic as ever, with a truly wide range of styles. The spectrum ranges from post-rock to easy listening to leftfield electronica, paired with tight, hypnotic grooves derived from the motorik krautrock of the legendary German band Neu! Stereolab are back with a great album, and “Instant Holograms On Metal Film” is the album of the week!
But there are a number of other great albums in this episode. Welsh musician Carwyn Ellis recently released the album “Fontana Rosa” with his band Rio 18. They are the only band in the world to combine Latin American music of various kinds with lyrics in the Welsh language. It was one of the last albums recorded at Liam Watson’s legendary Toerag Studios in London. For around 30 years, the studio was one of the leading analog studios in London. The studio and sound engineer Liam Watson, known for his remarkably good sound aesthetics, provided an excellent basis for the recordings of this album. The magic of the songs on “Fontana Rosa” impressively confirms this.
For the fourth time, the Big Crown label is opening its archives to release recordings that are too good to gather dust. This time, 13 outstanding recordings by the Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band are getting the release they deserve. A great album, not only for die-hard fans of the band from Hamburg.
The Australian band Surprise Chef has made a name for itself with its idiosyncratic psychedelic instrumental soul sound. Now they are back with their new album “Superb,” which fully lives up to the high expectations set by their previous albums. Once again, a wonderful album from this exceptional band.
Mystic Jungle is a project by Dario di Pace, a producer and DJ from Naples. He also runs the label Periodica Records, which released Mystic Jungle’s new album “Sunset Breaker.” It is a diverse collection of groove-oriented songs, ranging from driving boogie tracks to relaxed, groovy tracks influenced by lovers rock and dub. A varied and simply wonderful album!
Enjoy listening to this episode!
