Soul to NYC proto-synthwave to pub rock to hard rock to spiritual ambient – and that is just the first 5 tracks. A pleasing listen throughout, with one of my all time favorites (Al Tone Edits) coming before the 1980 Lamar Thomas track – nice stuff!

Psychemagik track uses David Crosby vocal of 1971 track ‘Orleans’ from ‘If Only I Could Remember My Name’ – nice! We stay chilled with Coyote’s track before the jolting vocal of The Pop Group, which serves as great prep for tracks by electric eels and Nots. The pop perfection of Chia Pet leads us into the electronic portion of the show, which includes a track from India re-edited by Boston legend Brother Cleve.

A fair amount of reggae-influenced tracks. New Age Steppers bring the On-U Sound post-punk sound to their reggae, with Ari Up vocals. Their collaboration with Creation Rebel moves firmly into dub. Jamaican Laurel Aitken gives us a 1978 track that pulls you right in, and Black Booby does a reggae re-edit. Peru’s Traffic Sound bring us to rock with a great cover of a 1968 Eric Burdon And The Animals track.

A 4 second Marvin Gaye sample becomes a 7:18 track and it’s not a second too long – that is the LTJ Xperience out of Italy. Also excellent stuff from Dutch artist Andre de Saint-Obin, France’s Elli & Jacno, England’s Mock & Toof, and SF’s 40 Thieves and Patrick Cowley. A short but worthy dip.

A show that flits effortlessly between rock and non-rock, a marriage summed up in the collaboration between Fripp & Eno. On the non-rock side, we have 1976 Ghana Tony Sarfo & The Funky Afrosibi, 2014 Torn Hawk (Luke Wyatt), 2014 Nicholas Jaar (as Ancient Astronaut). On the rock side, 1984 Game Theory (Scott Miller) cover The Box Tops and 2002 Joey Ramone covers Louis Armstrong.

Brooklyn trio Archie Pelago start off with a chilled jazzy track. Biologia (Joe Nunez) give us a modern disco track from their sole release, a 7″. Rx (a collaboration between Benedek and Delroy Edwards) continue with boogie sounds, as do Amsterdam, Netherlands based L33. At that point we start a good and proper rock show with some high-tailed glam (Brett Smiley, Bonnie St. Claire, Apple Pie & Custard), some NYC goodness (The Brats, ImpLOG, Chandra ), German pop on the awesome Firestation Tower label (Hot Rain, Monostars, The Vermont Sugar House, Shy) and who-knows-where-from reggae artist Sheila Rickards – there has been a private detective trying to find her and a documentary about it filmed but not released.

The Black Booby re-edit of the Young Americans track ‘Right’ is well-chosen and nice, as is the epic Funkadelic re-edit by Moodymann and Psychemagik’s re-edit of Stanley Shaw ‘Groovy Beat’. These tracks are in good company with lots of other re-edits by some of my favorite artists and labels. Winner!
