Stephen Duros:

SPIRAL - BENEATH THE SURFACE mp3 [5:29]

Back from a recent tour of Australia (and the roadhouses of Atlantis) Stephen Duros delivers CC a hot track from his new instrumental CD THIRA.

"It's the back-color synth, the congas, and the call & response guitar/oud that keep you in the dream helix. When the guitar gets gitano nasty, it seems to be driving the spiral towards an unseen conclusion... and it's the call and response between the flamenco guitar & the oud that set the mindscapes way back in ancient history."

Jon Gagan:

MOCK HEIST mp3 [6:17]

"JG sometimes goes stand-up, raids the jazz vault, takes some prisoners. "Mock Heist" is post-modern bop, you could say. While it starts out in the new millennium with a dreamy synth swell, the groove quickly reverts to Gotham City circa 1960... upright bass straight out of the 5 Spot Club... a montage of bop fills and psychedelic revisionism."

Lawrence Russell:

FORBIDDEN OVERTURE mp3 [8:40]

Early Visconti? Henry Miller or lost Joyce? No. Lawrence Russell steps from the shadows of his Celtic background with this story of corrupted love and romantic fatalism. Beech tree forests, crumbling stone estates & the desolate wind-ridden peat bog... and a Lagonda coupe. | words, vocal: LR | soundscape & recording: LR | muso text
