- "Outstanding Organ-infused tropicalia and homemade ethnodelic amazonian fantasies. Piotr Kurek is a musician, composer and enthusiast collector of instruments and vintage studio equipment. He is the author of numerous pieces for theatre and contemporary dance performances. In the late 1990s he was the co-founder of the electronic group Slepcy and since then hes been releasing music for various record labels and has participated in international theatre and music festivals.
Piotr Kureks Heat was originally released in December 2011 as a limited edition cassette by Digitalis LTD (sold out shortly after the original release date). Most of the sounds in Heat originate from various exotic records, from documentary movies or archives, or were recorded in studio using vintage organs, electric piano and synthesizers. Starting from an original idea of creating a specific music concrete album deeply rooted in archival nature, Heat emerged as a rich organ-infused tropicalia where everything was blurred in greenish-brown and sultry air"

Speaking of Beirach and Liebman and Lookout Farm, that got me looking, and boy, here's a great deal - a 4-disc comp of live Lookout Farm for $9.99 at 7digital.
Saw these guys this week - the mp3 is 5 bucks at Amazon right now. I posted some video in the "How Was the Show" thread if you want to check out the music.
Reading up on Bibb, I was interested to learn his dad Leon Bibb was a performer and personality in the NYC folk scene, so he grew up around Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, etc. Eric Bibb has spent most of his life in Europe, so perhaps not that well known in the US.
More music from Mali. This was the first release from the new reissue series by the Awesome Tapes from Africa blog, aka the reason the Internet was invented.
Starring LFO - Blown / Stelvio Cipriani - La policia chiede aiuto / Ennio Morricone - Beat n°3 / Sun Ra - Love in outer space / Gabor Szabo - Jazz Raga / Lo Borges - Calibre / Solid Space - Tenth Planet / Tall Dwarfs - Mores / Captain Beefheart - A carrot is as close as a rabbit gets to a diamond / Wilco - Impossible Germany (guitar solo) / Orval Carlos Sibelius - Under the carrot sky / Egyptology - Orbis part 5 : Martyrs / Spiritualized - Electric Mainline (part 1) / Alice Coltrane - Journey in Satchidananda / The Hidden Cameras - Golden Streams
More can I like New Age: Flamenco-inspired instrumentals. There's some great guitar playing and serious musical ideas. The percussion (or drum machine, whichever it is) seems mismatched, sounding processed over the organic picking. Gu!
