*NOLAN PORTER - NOLAN (1972)*

NOLAN PORTER - NOLAN (1972)

Nolan Porter only released 2 albums: "No apologies" and "Nolan" and both feature musicians from Mothers of Invention. This is good funky soul with Nolan's mesmerizing smooth vocals to top it of.

NOLAN PORTER - NOLAN FORMAT: VYNIL

Also to note that the riff from "Keep on keepin' on" was later used by Joy Division in their song "Interzone". It's a short but beautiful album with classics such as "If I could only be sure" and "Oh Baby", reaggea infused pop in "Singer man". My soft spot for this record is definitely "If I could only be sure", what I'm sure is is that this is one beautiful album that deserves more attention. Nolan Porter passed away on 2021 but his voice lives on.

Khruangbin - LateNightTales

A brilliant and accessible double LP that showcases Khruangbin favourite tracks and influences providing an actual sonic globetrotting experience. The journey starts with "Illuminations" featuring Alice Coltrane and Santana, a spiritual intro for an incredible journey. The second track "I know that (when the spring times comes)" by Brilliantes del Vuelo is a mellow dubby reggae inspired track that gives a way to the more energetic "Khushi" by Nazia Hassan, a bittersweet quasi disco sounding track. "DRM" by Kelly Doyle is a rather short but breezy instrumental song that keeps the spirit of the sonic traveller alive. Side B starts up with "Don't go" by the south korean rock pioneers Sanullim, a very 80's new wave delight type of song. "I like it (don't stop)" by Maxwell Udoh is a rather amusing disco type song with romantic lyrics, very danceable stuff. "Enseñame" featuring David Marez is a lounge type so...

Tiago Guillul - V

Indie pop by Tiago Guillul. Recorded in a studio and with guests like Rui Reininho, Tiago Guillul moves from his lo-fi days to a well produced and clean cut album. "A Febre em 1993" is a really adorable and catchy song that is one of the highlights of this album, using dancing and funky samples with some playful arrangements. "Nabucodonosor" named after one of the kings in the bible, is a really jangley song with collaborations from Rui Reininho in the vocals. Released by Florcaveira, this album has some religious inspired lyrics and most songs were built upon evangelical songs from all over the world, but that isn't exactly a surprise since it's Tiago Guillul. Overall, a candy bomb of an album of enjoyable and clever indie pop.

Jonzun Crew - Lost in Space

Spectacular funky hip-hop from the 80's. The group was led by Michael Jonzun and his brothers Maurice Starr, Sonny and Carl. The group was highly influenced by Afrika Bambaatta, they wore wigs like Mozart and dominated the electroboogie sound like bands such as Parliament. All the tracks are great and unique. Wonderful band that has yet to find its real listeners. The green solid reissue is gorgeous. Interesting for fans of Daft Punk.
