Review: Jamal Moss, aka Hieroglyphic Being, returns this time under the alias Africans with Mainframes. With fellow Chicagoan Noleian Reusse they have been releasing music under the name Africans with Mainframes for over 15 years now. The KMT LP is the debut album from the group, a collage of apocalyptic Chicago acid meets industrial and transcendental post-house machine funk. Both intense and unique, the album of forward-thinking, experimental, boundary-pushing Afro-futurist electronic music shows why Hieroglyphic Being is regarded as one of the most serious purveyors of experimental electronic music today. Review: It seems like hardly a week goes by without Jamal Moss putting out a record - and this week is no exception. Originally released on a homemade CDR and sold through the Sounds of the Universe shop in London, this ten-track release is typical of Moss' dance floor sound.

There's the deceptively deep but stomping acid gurgle of 'Culdees', the tough industrial rhythms of 'Fabian Society' and 'Illuminates Of Thaneteros', and most impressively, the heavy, grinding stomp of 'Aurum Solis'. Like most Moss releases, there are a few non-starters, but overall, this an essential collection for fans of the Chicago artist's distinctive music. Review: Having recently collaborated with Kieran Hebden, pricked the ears of Gilles Peterson and opened for Radiohead in New York, experimental electronic jazz outfit Rocketnumbernine are not short of high profile fans. Here brothers Ben and Tom Page bring their trademark brand of moody jazz futurism to Soul Jazz for a rare three-track single. All three tracks are typical of their live sound, which adds hypnotic, often intense vintage synth sounds to loose jazz percussion reminiscent of Fridge or Four Tet.
Of the three tracks, it's the cacophonous 'Steel Drummer' that stands out, though the melancholic 'Black & Blue' and upbeat 'Lone Raver' aren't far behind. Review: Here we have a real treat in that this 'rare and deep spiritual jazz album' is finally now here in digital format. Originally recorded and self-released by flautist Lloyd McNeill in Washington, DC back in 1969, it has now been remastered by Soul Jazz and a whole new world opens up to us. Lloyd McNeil was many things - a Paris-dwelling painter and pal of Picasso, a musician who worked with the likes of Nina Simone and a ballet-scoring civil rights activist. But it's this, his rare but influential album and it's pioneering fusion of jazz, Latin, Brazilian and African rhythms, that we really should remember him for. Review: When we think of classic cop and spy shows from the golden age of the '60s and '70s, we automatically think of tough, no-nonsense heavy drinking guys, foxy gals in negligees, vintage cars and of course killer, out-there incidental music.
Here the ever-brilliant Soul Jazz present a lovingly compiled selection of gems from the anonymous vaults of library music that would have been supplied to all kinds of shows and films back in the day. Now they get to live again, and with their lush orchestration, jazzy drums, meandering funky basslines and wah-wah guitar, thrilling they are too. Review: When legendary label Soul Jazz Recordings was first dipping its toe into the music business it was 'Nu Yorica Culture Clash.' That helped put them on the map. Having been out of print for over a decade, they've put together this expanded edition to mark the seminal compilation's 20th anniversary (available digitally for the first time) and it's lost none of its punch. Boasting 17 exquisite cuts from the likes of Eddie Palmieri, Joe Bataan, Grupo Folklorico and Ricardo Marrero, the album captures an exciting time for Latin music amongst the bonkers melting pot of 1970s New York.
