They live

Demon Seed was a based on a real story, our planet is a stage where the computarised conspiracy led by Proteus, the love-child of, erm, Proteus and Julie Andrews combats rabid hordes of meat-obsessed humanists, this of course inspired most of Philip K. Dick’s opus, particularly Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (that guy sitting…

The Synth That Dripped Blood

After being criminally dropped from DC Recordings for being “too commercial” (wtf? surely about 2/3′s of the current DC roster is not what you would term as commercial?), Italian masked killer of scantily clad women, The Giallos Flame, is self-releasing an album of chic 70′s horror-homage on his very own label Analogue Screams. Said album…

Remote, Unfriended, Melancholy, Slow

Featuring:

salem & U.S. Girls

A ghost has been haunting DJ Rick’s radio show, bewitching us with otherwordly melodies we might have dreamed of if we had dreamt of an abandoned farm in the midst of the ochre prairie in whose entrance the old porch swing creaks, ever so subtly in the absolute absence of wind or weight, silver under…

Vaster than empires, and more slow

Featuring:

kosmiche, krautrock & SciFi

There was quite an interesting debate in one of the darken spaces that thee 20jazzfunkgreats roam regarding the extent to which the trend towards tunes of 10 minutes or longer which has become growingly common in certain genres you know we dig, such as kosmische disco, is a good or a bad thing. We pray…

Didn’t they used to be dinosaurs?

False Energy never really broke through at the end of last year, maybe a re-release is in order? It’s an elongated corker crossing the beams between Escort, Spektrum and The World of Conny Plank (specifically Zero Set). Binary Chaffinch – False Energy But how can such magic be achieved you ask? Its simple really. Binary…

Horror Hause

Featuring:

Excepter, Kevin Ayers & Nico

Are Excepter the techno Liars? Maybe Excepter are Liars, doing some wicker-tech-house on the side wearing man-suits to conceal they’re true identities, Buffalo Bill style – cos after all, theres only so much deep, dark forest prancing a fine fellow can take before the damning isolation drains any ounce of humanity from him and all…

James Nascent’s Irregular Column

  So, what you been listening to? James N’s  guide to getting back on the wrong tracks. Been neglecting the noise of late due to the overwhelming abundance of seriously brilliant cosmic/baleric/nu-disco/space-house. You can’t blame me/you/us for getting all caught up in the faux glitz and glam but not everyone has a Prins Thomas/Studio/Joakim/Rodion remix…

Hey Ladies

Featuring:

10lec6 & Ebony Bones

Thee 20jazzfunkgreats myspace has started receiving a deluge of add requests from scantily dressed women with breasts bigger than our heads and strange coloured skin, probably a mutation brought forward by an excess of tanning lotion, it’s we guess exciting for some to see the prostitution industry getting on with the times and joining social…

More epic

Featuring:

narctrax & Videohippos

We picked up Videohippos‘ new album Unbeast the Leash just before Christmas after a cursory listen in Edgeworld, having being admonished by Colin about their similarities with Dan Deacon, who digs them very much, here we have a hyperkinetic indie with a penchant for the motorik and the super-focused craziness required to deliver it the…

More power

We like fantasy role-playing games. We also like Americana, both of the old kind which brings tears to our eyes, and of the new kind which keeps the spirit of real folk music burning laced with a mess of wonderful influences, let’s see our heroes battle in the middle of a night they illuminate with…

It’s raining drums

Featuring:

El Guincho & HEALTH

Cos rain is a rhythm, and it makes us grow colourful. And we live in England so we better get fucking used to it. We have taken ages to tell you about El Guincho, who Felix from Discoteca Oceano (who have released his record Alegranza: BUY) reported to us about a good half a year…

Some kids have it so magic these days

Featuring:

blood on the wall

Bang starts the 2008 with swiriling excitement, the only angle of this post is GOODNESS, but isn’t that always the case. Blood on The Wall are one of 20JFG’s fave bands from one of 20JFG’s fave labels, The Social Registry, watch them come back strong in 2008 with Liferz, another raucous roll on the floor…
