REVIEW REBLOG – Various Artists ~ VA1+2 (Tavern Eightieth)

“…this double-disc set is a benefit album to raise money for Alzheimer Research U.K. Second – and this is for potential consumers – these tracks are exclusive to the compilation,”
Including AGF, Midori Hirano, Iris Garrelfs and Poulomi Desai.

postrockcafe's avatara closer listen

VA1+2Mixed-artist compilations were all the rage at the turn of the 21st century, but have lost some of their appeal in the digital age.  Finnish label Tavern Eightieth has done two things to correct any misconceptions.  First and foremost, this double-disc set is a benefit album to raise money for Alzheimer Research U.K.  Second – and this is for potential consumers – these tracks are exclusive to the compilation, which is especially noteworthy as some of these artists (including Bibio, Glacis and Matthew Collings) have albums being released the same month and could just as easily have contributed older work.

As might be expected when 22 artists are involved, the timbres and overall quality are all over the map, and some of the tracks include vocals, so we’re going to zero in on a select few.  On Disc One, we’re able to catch up with Makunouchi Bento, a group…

PoL

A sound walk with crickets to explore the city.

This session takes as its starting point a sonic trend which began in China over 1000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty – that of keeping crickets for their song. While mainly kept in the home or garden, the crickets were also carried around in small gourds, concealed in clothes and worn like a portable music player. It is thought that the practice, started by the royal family, began in order to bring company and comfort to the listener. The trend quickly caught on and became a popular pastime practiced widely in society, and it continues to this day.

For this Points of Listening session we…
