Snow Palms Land Waves (2020)

Los Angeles residents, composers and multi-instrumentalists Carlos Niño & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson flew to Chicago to contribute to the Makaya McCraven album Universal Beings. They were so inspired by the city, and Lake Michigan, that it spawned an LP. Chicago Waves comes to us via International Anthem.

The new future garage album of Eguana, Loves Waves is another timeless piece of sound art. Intelligent layered and harmonic structured promises an easy listening pleasure. A wonderful chill out trip that proper doses of nostalgia which evolves in daydreaming.

The Doors fifth studio album, Morrison Hotel, will be reissued in October for its 50th anniversary. The album was recorded in late 1969/early 1970 and released in February 1970. It’s newly remastered for this release by Bruce Botnick. The goodies are all on the bonus CD with more than an hour of unreleased recordings taken from the sessions for Morrison Hotel. Botnick says: “There are many takes, different arrangements, false starts, and insightful studio conversations between the band – who were in the studio – and producer Paul Rothchild – who was in the control room. It’s like being a fly on the wall.” The outtakes include rough versions of Morrison Hotel tracks ‘Peace Frog’ and ‘Blue Sunday’ as well as The Doors rarity ‘I Will Never Be Untrue.’ The bonus CD also features the band jamming on cover versions of the Motown classic ‘Money (That’s What I Want)’ and B.B. King’s’ ‘Rock Me’.
