Antique Phonograph Music Program 06/02/2009 (2009)

WFMU

• Big band 
• Jazz 
• Oldies 
• Spoken word 
• Dixieland

Comment: these 35 minutes introduce you to the beginning of the 20^th century music to spend time with such artists as orchestras as Black Face Eddie Ross, Cal Stewart, Bill Murray, Arhtur Collins and Byron G. Harlan, Clyde Doerr and His Orchestra, Gene Green, Golden and Heins, James I. Lent, Joe Hayman, Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds, M.J. OConnell, Six Brown Brothers, and The Columbia Orchestra. It is entertaining, lively and funny where jazz/and dixieland and big band-based compositions and orchestrations are variegated with more spoken word numbers. These tracks come from a time span between 1901 to 1922. Some of them are truly funny in their vehement oratory – for instance, listen to Joe Hayman`s Cohen at the Real Estate Office. It is a welcome interlude to enjoy such sort of music while you are intended to rest from contemporary sophisticated (experimental) music. Furthermore, today it is popular to take samples from historic and oldie music to either compose something truly offbeat or create a haunting atmosphere something like being created by Leyland Kirby aka The Caretaker. It is just a little notch in the series of Antique Phonograph Music Program by WFMU at Free Music Archive.

Alan Rèvolte! – Libre y Salvaje (2016)

Naciòn Libre

• Singer-songwriter 
• Folk punk 
• Punk folk 
• Alt-folk 
• Mexicana

Comment: Alan Vargas aka Alan Rèvolte is a musician from Mexico whose 10-track issue is an attention-getting blend of Spanish-sung lyrics, intense acoustic guitar strums all of that predominantly being managed in a straightforward approach. The straightforward approach over there does mean it is played with great fervour and infectious Latin temperament though wherein one can discern many changes in chords and timbres and rhythms. Sometimes his guitar play involves more spacey patches with the slowed-down rhythm (at Réquiem para un Poeta). Here and there he used to employ female voices to add extra tones and moods to the mix. The final track La Marcha de los Árboles makes also difference because of exploiting immersive, and minor tones to accentuate his ability to embrace a more wide spectre (thereby reminding of such experimental folk acts as Ben Chasny`s Six Organs Of Admittance, Espers, and Akron/Family, and through aesthetic predecessor lineage the artists of the so-called American Primitivism, for instance). The cover print is cute and nice because of resonating with the substance of the music. There is no need to added the animal-based drawings in minimal mode used to make sense at any time. These solid 24 minutes are a part of the discography of Naciòn Libre, the Mexican imprint of which stylistic range is quite broad (from hardcore/punk to stoner and doom to cyberpunk and crust).
