Can music be classic and contemporary at the same time? Can it contain a secret genetic code in which the summary of the past, the present pulse, and the future view are hidden? Be ahead of its time and not lose relevance along the way? Let's Call It A Day, the first album collaboration of German authors Move D (David Moufang) and Benjamin Brunn, proves it is not only possible hypothetically, but can also live amongst us. First appearing on a CD via Bine Music in 2006, it is now remastered here by Calyx and on vinyl for the first time ever. This is a complete piece built from seven sections, each one is a microcosm of unique textures, depth, ambience, emotions, programming, looping, and melodic rules; together they are a homogenous creation, a symphony that culminate in dance music experiencing elevation. Let's Call It A Day, which in a way is the big brother of Songs From The Beehive (SMALL 001CD/LP) -- their exhilarating installment for Smallville from 2008 -- is an album above the Zeitgeist. The way Moufang and Brunn fuse different genres together without committing to any musical doctrine, makes them appear prophetic. However, it is in no sense a retrospect feeling; even at the time it was clear that the perceptions, experience, vision, and delicacy of this album were outstanding. Every element here, every frequency, rhythm, turnaround or keyboard tapping, is the material from which masterpieces are made of. From the opening meditative, ever-evolving loops of "On The Magic Bus" to the abstract drones of "Grains" with its almost nonexistent bass drum -- like it was aimed to hit the ambient-house craze; through the mesmerizing dubbiness of "A", which sounds like a rave ending in an echo chamber and the constant micro-movement of the arpeggios in the title track; "Ω", which sounds like a soundtrack for a sinking submarine footage and the ambient downbeat of "C-Sick", which melts your heart from within; and finally the closer -- the fragile and elegant beauty of "Magnetically Leviated Train". More than 76 minutes of diving constantly deeper and deeper. This new remastered version will feature a brand new and extra glossy Stefan Marx gatefold cover, that will give the perfect visual expression of the album's timeless music. And If there was ever a downside to Let's Call It A Day, it would be its lack of a vinyl edition. Well, this is exactly what's being sorted out now, isn't it? Gatefold cover.

Instrumental version. "In the four years since Adrian Younge's Something About April album first appeared, the Los Angeles-based producer and multi-instrumentalist has become his own musical cottage industry. Not only has he collaborated with musical legends ranging from The Delfonics to Ghostface Killah, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and The Souls of Mischief; his work has also been sampled by such rap giants as 50 Cent, Jay-Z and Common. In an equally impressive twist, DJ Premier produced an entire album with Younge's work as his only source material (including multiple samples from April, of course): 2014's PRhyme, with MC Royce Da 5'9". Something About April is an album that flaunts all of the trademarks that have made Younge an in-demand name as a composer and sample source-point. His work oozes raw, analog soul and the primal sonic edge of psychedelic rock, sitting nicely alongside Ennio Morricone's best soundtrack work, Pink Floyd's early catalog, and Parliament's Osmium. Younge's songwriting is what truly makes this album unique and keeps ears engaged. While many of his tunes are initially vamp-driven, there are changes and aural twists that lurk around every corner."

Warehouse find, last copies. Many reggae aficionados see the concentrated phase of rock steady between 1967-1969 as the Caribbean's most productive era of all time. Never before had such sweet melodies, inspiring rhythms and beautiful love lyrics come together. Numerous soul hits by the likes of Curtis Mayfield, The Impressions, The Supremes all got the bass-driven, Jamaican style treatment. The Bunny Lee Rock Steady Years collects some of the most essential and rarest songs of that era -- in a better sound quality than ever before. It showcases a wealth of soulful singers, ranging from top acts like Slim Smith (also lead-singer in the Techniques and Uniques) or Alton Ellis to the rather unknown Cynthia Richards or Webber Sisters. All songs were produced by Bunny Lee, one of the greatest Jamaican producers, who had one rock steady hit after another -- finally earning him the nickname "Striker". This compilation is a valuable slice of history for reggae and soul fans alike, for lovers of great voices, for those who do not confuse "cool" with cold and appreciate a good love song when it comes from the heart. Features The Sensations, The Uniques, Glen Adams, Owen Gray, Dawn Penn, Ken Parker, Slim Smith, Winston Samuels, Errol Dunkley, Pat Kelly, Alton Ellis, Alva Lewis, Cynthia Richards, Webber Sisters, and Lester Sterling with King Cannon.
