VA - Mosaic Select, The Pacific Jazz Piano Trios [2005] (3 x CDs)

The Pacific Jazz label always had a particular glow about it—cool‑toned, spacious, and unmistakably West Coast, but The Pacific Jazz Piano Trios set reveals just how deep that aesthetic ran when filtered through the hands of its pianists. Mosaic’s curation pulls together sessions that were never meant to form a unified narrative, yet they sit together with the coherence of a quietly unfolding story: small‑group jazz shaped by clarity, restraint, and a devotion to interplay rather than flash.

What stands out first is the engineering. Pacific Jazz sessions from the mid‑50s to early ’60s were recorded with a kind of intimate transparency, piano crisp but never brittle, bass warm and centered, drums feather‑light yet articulate. Mosaic preserves that character beautifully. Collectors will appreciate the clean transfers from original analog sources, with no heavy‑handed EQ or compression. These discs breathe.

Musically, the set highlights the label’s breadth. You get the lyrical touch and harmonic poise of pianists who favored understatement over bravado, but each trio has its own fingerprint. Some lean toward chamber‑like cool jazz, others toward blues‑inflected swing, and a few hint at the modernist edges that would soon reshape the idiom. What ties them together is the Pacific Jazz sensibility: melodic clarity, rhythmic ease, and a sense of space that lets every gesture land.

The value lies not only in the music but in the documentation. Mosaic’s booklets remain a benchmark, sessionography, personnel details, recording dates, and label‑era context that help place each trio within the broader Pacific Jazz lineage. Many of these sessions were scattered across LPs, EPs, and regional issues; having them consolidated with authoritative notes gives the material a new sense of permanence.

The set feels like a window into a quieter corner of West Coast jazz—refined, warm, and deeply musical. It rewards close listening and invites repeat visits, each time revealing another small detail in the trio interplay. (B)

My plan to swiftly compile some "Best of 2025" compilations when 2026 commenced played out in turtle speed.

Legend has it that March 2026 is best experienced by listening to various songs from the soundtracks of 2025.

"2025 Best Vocal OST" consists of varying soundtrack songs with vocals.

Reminder - Each download will have two folders: "Formatted" & "Original tags & artwork".

The music in each folder is identical - the only thing that differs is imbedded tagging and artwork.

Enjoy!

I found so many good songs I'm going to make 2 sets of "P".

1) One of my favourite voices in rock. 2) The best Beatle song never released by the Beatles. 3) This bloke should be a star. 5) Everyone should hear this once in their life, play the whole thing. 7) They gave this album away with every "fill up" at a gas station. 10) Great cover. 12) They don't write them like this often. 13) Brave to take on Marvin! 17) "Hey Roger listen to my demo". 21) My top song by Peter listen to the solo, world class! 25) So good to hear Dusty.

I think this maybe the best set I've done. Part 2 next week.

For this collection I have chosen tracks that may not be well known but also some done by "well known" artists. These are the sorts of tracks that may take a few listens to appreciate but are generally well structured and composed.

VA - Erased Tapes Collection I–IX [2008-2018] + Bonus VA - Erased Tapes 1+1=X [2018] (10 x CDs)

ERASED TAPES

VA - Erased Tapes Collection I–IX [2008-2018] + Bonus VA - Erased Tapes 1+1=X [2018] (10 x CDs)

Erased Tapes Records is a London-based record label established in 2007 by Robert Raths aka Ghostworker. Released across nine volumes between 2008 and 2018, Erased Tapes Collection I–IX functions as a long-form document of a label finding, refining, and ultimately defining its voice. Rather than acting as simple snapshots of a catalogue, these collections trace a gradual evolution, one rooted in restraint, clarity, and an insistence on emotional presence. Heard as a whole, the series reflects how Erased Tapes developed a recognisable identity without locking itself into a fixed sound.

The early volumes establish the foundation. Piano-led works, intimate recording spaces, and a focus on tone and silence set these releases apart from the prevailing trends of the time. The music feels deliberately unhurried, allowing detail and nuance to carry weight. As the series progresses, the scope widens. Electronics become more embedded, ensemble writing grows more confident, and rhythmic elements surface with greater intent. What changes is not the core philosophy, but the vocabulary used to express it.

Sequencing plays a crucial role throughout. Each volume balances contrast and continuity, allowing different approaches to coexist without breaking the overall mood. The collections reward being heard front to back, where subtle shifts in texture and pacing become part of the experience. Across all nine volumes, the emphasis remains on craft and atmosphere, music that invites attention rather than demanding it.

Taken together, Erased Tapes Collection I–IX reads as an archive of a decade in motion. It captures not only individual artists at various points in their development, but also the emergence of a shared aesthetic language, one built on patience, space, and a quietly human sensibility.

Released alongside the final volume, Erased Tapes 1+1=X operates as a companion rather than an extension of the series. Instead of curating existing works, it centres on collaboration, pairing artists in new configurations and shared creative settings. The focus shifts from individual statements to collective process, revealing how overlapping ideas and textures shape the label’s identity. Where the main series documents evolution, 1+1=X captures convergence.

For listeners and collectors, this body of work rewards exploration. Each volume stands on its own, but the deeper satisfaction comes from engaging with the series over time, letting the sequencing, contrasts, and recurring sensibilities reveal themselves through repeated listening. (B)

TRUE GRUNGE

VA - This is True Grunge (1985–1994) (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs) + Bonus

Grunge was never a fashion, a marketing slogan, or a global sound. It was a regional uprising, born in the damp rehearsal rooms, basements, and small clubs of the Pacific Northwest between 1986 and 1994. What defined the movement was not simply distortion or attitude, but a tightly woven ecosystem of musicians from Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, and Bellingham, all operating within the same physical and cultural space. They shared labels, studios, producers, and stages, forming a closed circuit that shaped a raw, unvarnished sound which would eventually reverberate far beyond its point of origin.

True grunge existed within a specific infrastructure. Independent labels such as Sub Pop, C/Z Records, Amphetamine Reptile, and a small network of local imprints provided the framework. Studios like Reciprocal Recording, AVAST!, and Egg Studios captured the music as it was played, while producers including Jack Endino, Stuart Hallerman, Steve Fisk, and John Goodmanson acted not as polishers, but as documentarians. Together, they forged a volatile fusion of sludge-punk abrasion, noise-rock dissonance, metal weight, and hardcore urgency, recorded with an honesty that rejected refinement and embraced imperfection.

The artists who belonged to this movement were not chasing trends or radio play. They functioned as part of a local, DIY community, sharing stages at venues such as the Crocodile, the Off Ramp, the Central Tavern, and the Vogue. Their music carried the physical and emotional grit of the region itself: heavy, blown-out guitars, drop-tuned riffs, unfiltered vocals, and a persistent sense of tension born from geographic isolation and cultural intensity.

To be TRUE GRUNGE, a band had to be part of this world, geographically, culturally, and materially. Grunge was not a style that could be exported intact, it was the product of environment, proximity, and circumstance. Outside the Pacific Northwest, the sound could be echoed, adapted, and amplified, but the movement itself did not exist. After 1994, the original scene fractured under exposure and commercial pressure, leaving behind a legacy that would be widely imitated, but never authentically recreated.

This box set honours that original movement, the artists who lived it, the recordings that defined it, and the brief, incandescent moment when a small, stubborn community reshaped rock music from the ground up.

Bonus Disc – Classic Grunge

Included in this set is a Bonus Disc of Classic Grunge, presented as a companion rather than a contradiction to the core collection. Where the main discs document grunge as a specific regional movement rooted in the Pacific Northwest’s underground infrastructure, this disc traces how that sound expanded outward as it reached a wider audience. These recordings place greater emphasis on melody, atmosphere, and songcraft, while still retaining the weight, tension, and emotional directness that defined the original movement.

Some of the artists featured here emerged directly from the Pacific Northwest scene; others absorbed its musical language and reshaped it beyond its geographic boundaries. In doing so, they carried forward the sensibility of grunge, introspective, heavy, and unguarded, even as the original ecosystem that produced it began to fracture. This disc does not attempt to redefine or dilute the meaning of true grunge. Instead, it documents the resonance of the movement: the songs that translated its emotional core into a broader rock consciousness while the original scene faded from view.

This set preserves grunge not as a genre or a trend, but as a lived movement, defined by geography, community, and recordings that could only have been made where and when they were. TRUE GRUNGE burned briefly, loudly, and without compromise. These recordings capture the moment before it scattered, when a small Northwest community changed rock music by refusing to play by its rules. (B)
