97 Orchard

The Blues Masters series, much to Rhino`s credit, adopts an expansive definition of blues, allowing the likes of Count Basie, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Muddy Waters and even Louis Prima admission. There is none of the purist`s quibbling over strict 12-bar form or the relative significance of prewar and postwar styles.
What Rhino delivers instead is the blues in all its myriad guises. This music is old and new, black and white, acoustic and electric, folksy and jazzy, performed by women and men, and yet it is all still blues at its core.

To take a briefcase from Hong Kong to Mexico City, via Los Angeles, is it necessary to call on that man - Bolt? With the number of dangerous spies and gangsters who are after that briefcase, maybe Jefferson Bolt is not enough.

Robert Jan Meyer also started his own compilation series: "Science Fiction Jazz 1-12 (Vol. 1 at the same time, was the beginning of the "Mole Listening Pearls"- Label) and "Batucada 1-3". He compiled the double CD "Blue Note Weekend" for the renowned jazz label "Blue Note" and two more samplers on the Japanese market.

Deep against the misty horizon of TRS’s Mystic Gathering, a dramaturgical orchard of compelling bass rumbles against a vibrant storm of polychromatic symphony. As a psybient instrumentation of twinkling chimes, gorgeous steel drums, witty synthscapes, and more, the progressive compositions creates a world of tumultuous, auditory poetry. Mages seem to call upon the ancient arts in an inner-dimensional orchestration, resulting in an intricate, downtempo journey with a satisfying sprinkle of uplifting psytrance and foot-stomping psydub. This patiently crafted soundworld is a clever burst of neo-electronica, perfectly fitting for any time of the day or night.
