Ken Nordine - (April 13, 1920 – February 16, 2019) was an American voice-over and recording artist, best known for his series of Word Jazz albums. His deep, resonant voice has also been featured in many commercial advertisements and movie trailers. One critic wrote that "you may not know Ken Nordine by name or face, but you'll almost certainly recognize his voice". Nordine notably collaborated with Laurie Anderson, Sonny Rollins, Tom Waits and Jerry Garcia.
I contributed to this as well. They asked if I wanted to wait to get all of the releases I backed all at once as well as a Yann Novak remix of a piece of mine and I said “yes” and so I’m not expecting any discs for a few more weeks. Looking forward to it!

Worth the wait - I am enjoying the releases I got!
Most bizarre cover versions from Vincent Bergerond:
"Kid A was really important for me, much more than free improv or any music people tend to link me with usually. The song approach will forever be my priority. Again, I am not trying to sing this one on the same tones."
"I love to sing songs that I love from other tones and dramatic perspectives. By the same occasion, I am testing a new vocal mastering approach, getting rid of high freq and improving the bass register."
Incredible 1986 lost recordings, an amazing adventure of a musicological and botanical research on the psychoacoustic qualities of the green world. Black Sweat has always focused its gaze on a diverse series of genres, from an equally diverse number of geographies and eras. Equally, the label represent one of the great, focused efforts in illuminating the output of the Italian avant-garde - an endlessly exciting, but all too neglected vein within the history of recorded sound. Central to the beginnings of this movement is the legendary ensemble, Aktuala - a project which laid the groundwork for many of the defining characteristics of subsequent movements and scenes, with its members, and those who were inspired them, creating a remarkable body of work which stretches across the decades. Black Sweat's latest batch begins with a long lost release by one of Aktuala's most important members, Walter Maioli - equally noted for his contributions to the seminal projects, Futuro Antico, Amazonia 6891, Gruppo Afro Mediterraneo, etc, made in collaboration with the composer Nirodh Fortini, between 1986 and 89.
Never before released, Taraxacum is a journey back in time - a window into what so much of the Italian avant-garde was all about - visionary, creatively ambitious, and relentlessly democratic - drawing inspiration from a diverse number of global traditions, as well as the sounds of the natural world. Drawing from musicological and botanical research on the psychoacoustic qualities of the Green World - an investigation of an organic symbiosis - the pharmacological properties of plants and the sound emitted by their material essence, these are the realms music which few have explored - singular fruit born of a juncture between the visionary mind of Maioli and the music therapist and eclectic composer, Agostino Nirodh Fortini - a specialist in the field of sound and video applied to body therapies and meditation.

@Lowlife I thought I was the only person in the world who knew about Party Doll and Other Favorites. 20 years old now, it is a kind of greatest hits album, with some versions of hits pulled from live appearances, including a Super Bowl appearance with Beausoleil, undoubtedly in New Orleans; plus some other tunes that originally appeared on tribute albums, etc. Yes, there was a day when great artists like MCC & Beausoleil could appear on the Superbowl halftime show...
