EXCAVATED SHELLAC

VA - Excavated Shellac, An Alternate History of the World's Music [2020] (4 x CDs) + PDF Booklet

Dust-to-Digital - the US record label that specialises in ensuring “lost” music often made by marginal communities many decades ago - likely needs little introduction. Since founding the label in 2003, Lance and April Ledbetter have done a remarkable job in ensuring rare gospel and blues, Cambodian and East African and Yemeni and Morrocan music, have been made available for contemporary audiences.

The music is superbly mastered so giving the listener a taste of how dynamic these recordings sounded when played for posterity some generations ago. And their box sets are stunning packages, little pieces of art in themselves. Dust-to-Digital might reissue analogue music but they are keyed into our digital world: their daily Twitter and Instagram posts are stunning, amongst the best things on the net, and all the music they issue is available from Bandcamp .

To kick 2021 off and save us all from drowning in the lockdown blues, Dust-to-Digital have gone and issued a stunning package called An Alternate History Of The World’s Music that contains 100 previously un-reissued 78-era recordings and a beautifully illustrated 186 page book (every tune gets discussed - the first is a South African miner’s protest against police brutality, the last a dreamy Cuban innuendo).

The provocative title is there to make interested parties wonder just what is contained within. Well, let’s start with what’s not: no jazz, blues, country, gospel, pop, crooners, classical, opera - you know, the usual suspects when it comes to 78-era reissue projects. Instead, a sonic smorgasbord from across the globe unfolds: Afghanistan, Sudan, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Uganda, Spain, Albania, Mongolia, Mexico and onwards and onwards. Ever wondered what the Crimean Tartar Orchestra might sound like? No? Fabulous (raucous, minor key, brass party music) in fact.

This digital-only release is the work of Excavated Shellac, a website that began in 2007 with a 78-collector doing a daily-post (it's worth following Excavated Shellac on Instagram, Facebook et al for the extraordinary music and info’ posted regularly). Avoiding Robert Johnson and Geeshie Wiley and other such blue chip 78-era collectibles, Excavated Shellac focuses on music recorded across the non-Anglo world, offering a taste of the music being made in myriad communities at the dawn of recorded sound. These three minute snippets from a lost world are fascinating, a daily treat; An Alternate History gathers 100 of such from what website founder Jonathan Ward says of a record collection that “slowly and constantly both grows and shrinks, regularly accessioning and deaccessioning.”

Ward is a Los Angeles-based “metadata czar” who works in the field of museum documentation. Applying scientific rigour to his record collection, Ward has gained huge amounts of information on recordings where there has often been very little. This ensures he has worked closely with Dust-to-Digital on several projects (Opika Pende: Africa at 78rpm, Excavated Shellac: Strings, Excavated Shellac: Reeds) and Sublime Frequencies’ Indian Talking Machine set. Thus, I’m chatting with one of the world’s foremost authorities of the 78-era. (theatticmag.com)

This collection highlights music that is often invisible in today’s world, the incredible world of global recordings that aren’t jazz, blues, country, rock ‘n roll, R&B, or “classical.”

VA - Longing for the Past, The 78 RPM Era in Southeast Asia [2013] (4 x CD's)

SOUTHEAST ASIA 78 RPM

Previously posted December 12, 2021

VA - Longing for the Past, The 78 RPM Era in Southeast Asia [2013] (4 x CD's)

An amazing collection of music and reading. It is the first survey of the 78-rpm record era in Southeast Asia,

While one may not always find oneself in the mood for listening to vintage southeast Asian music, this set is just right should the mood so strike you.  I should first mention that as a Western, English-speaking lover of vintage world music of all stripes, that I find this music to be more obtuse and impenetrable than most other world music I've listened to. That said, if anything is worth the extra effort on the part of a listener, this is it. The music as a whole is often beautifully nuanced and repeatedly staggering, with the intensity and depth of spirit coming across often. That said, an effort is required, and one must approach this music while considering an entirely different aesthetic framework or way of listening. That's not to say that enjoying this music makes me a better listener or a more open minded person (or somehow wins me more 'hipster cred' as the reviewer below suggests), but one must be willing to approach this music on its own terms and without pretense. When you can do that, you can begin to fully appreciate this astounding body of music.

The CD's weave their way through southeast Asia, and include recordings from Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. This set also includes recordings ranging from 1905 - 1966, including some of the very first recordings made in these locales. The timeframe of 61 years allows for some contrast between traditional and more modern music's, as does the history of colonialism which impacted most of the region at some point or another. Accordingly, the stylistic variety of the set is sprawling, and as dust to digital aptly describes it, kaleidoscopic. In fact, a good entry point and some of the stranger songs included are those that blend sensibilities, styles and instruments. Examples abound, but a few that come to mind are an otherwise traditional Thai ensemble that uses a vibraphone to ethereal effect. A Burmese song that blends piano, violin and muted cornet in entirely unexpected ways, a few songs that use military brass bands in combination with traditional instruments, and much, much more.

The packaging for this set is gorgeous, and the accompanying book is bursting with information, essays and an array of lavishly reproduced images. Combine all of this material with the music itself, and the density of this set is overwhelming, to the point of making it seem impenetrable at times. However, when the urge for full immersion in vintage southeast Asian music strikes, this will be my first and last stop. The ranking of this set is entirely dependent on whether you are the kind of person who thinks they may get such an urge in the first place. For myself, this is the best dust to digital set yet. (Amazon)

For those with an unflinchingly western/modern/popular aesthetic framework, you will find this abominable. If you are open to learning a very different musical vocabulary and set of aesthetic values, and if you are willing to approach listening to this music as you might approach learning a new language; Longing for the Past is rich with revelations. (Amazon)

VA - Citrus Beauties (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3

CITRUS SONGS

VA - Citrus Beauties (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3

Citrus fruits are often referenced in music and songs for various reasons. They can symbolize freshness, vitality, and the exotic, often evoking a sense of brightness and zestiness that complements the mood of a song. Additionally, fruits like oranges and lemons have rich cultural and historical connotations that artists may draw upon. For instance, they can represent sweetness or bitterness in relationships, or even serve as metaphors for life experiences.

In some cases, the reference to citrus fruits in music is more literal, with songs mentioning them in the context of a place or a memory. Other times, the fruit can be a powerful symbol.  Overall, citrus fruits in songs can add layers of meaning, whether it’s through direct references, symbolism, or as part of a larger narrative within the music.  Citrus fruits often appear in songs as symbols of vibrancy and energy, or as metaphors for experiences and emotions. Here are a few examples where citrus fruits are used in music:

“Orange Crush” by R.E.M. - This song uses the image of an orange crush, a type of soda, as a metaphor for the intensity of feelings or situations.

“Lemon” by U2 - In this song, the lemon symbolizes bitterness and longing, reflecting on memories and loss.

“Tangerine” by Led Zeppelin - The song reminisces about past love and the passage of time, with the tangerine evoking a sense of nostalgia.

These songs show how citrus fruits can be used to convey a wide range of themes and emotions in music, from the sweetness of love to the sourness of heartache.

Leonard Cohen once said, “Music is the emotional life of most people.” Music often tells a story, expresses emotion, or shares ideas with a society, and many musical greats use the humble citrus fruit to convey these factors. 

Citrus fruits are like the zesty best friends of music they bring out the best in a tune! Just like a splash of lemon in your favorite drink, they add a burst of freshness and life to songs.  Sometimes, these fruity friends are more than just metaphors. They can take you back to a sunny place or a cherished memory, making the song feel like home. And let’s not forget, they can be pretty deep too. They might look bright on the outside, but they can carry powerful messages and stories within the music. So, next time you hear a citrus fruit drop a beat in a song, remember, they’re there to add that extra layer of flavor and meaning, making the music all the juicier and more enjoyable!

In the vast universe of music, there are constellations that shine brighter than others. One such constellation is the Backbeats series. This collection of CDs is not just a compilation of songs; it’s a journey through the rich tapestry of Soul/Dance/Black music scenes.

The Backbeats series is a treasure trove for music lovers. It’s like a time machine, taking you back to the golden eras of music, from the soulful 60s to the groovy 80s. Each CD in the series is a carefully curated collection of tracks that represent a specific genre or era.
