The Telescopes – Of Tomorrow (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 38:09 minutes | 412 MB | Genre: Alternative Rock
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Tapete Records
The Telescopes are an all embracing concern that began in 1987, the only constant being sole composer/ instigator, Northumbrian born Stephen Lawrie. The band’s line-up is in constant flux, there can be anywhere between 1 and 20 members on a recording.
Of Tomorrow is the 15th album from The Telescopes, the fifth for Tapete. The album was created entirely by Lawrie at his studio in Shropshire, it is a departure from what the press often refer to as a ’wall of throb’ when describing the dense merge of noise and sound synonymous with most of The Telescopes output. Of Tomorrow marks a complete change in dynamics. Here we have the poetry of motion, solid grooves to the fore, leaving crystallised trails across a fluttering undercurrent of uplifting rhythm and hooks. Lawrie’s voice, usually treated as an instrument equal to the rest of the sound now takes the reins, engaging the listener in a melodic swirl of radiant harmony that speaks, sometimes in a whisper, of love as revolution. Every song on the album stands it’s ground, each one unique. Everything from the composition to the performance, arrangements and production are leaps beyond previous offerings.
This is an album to get lost in on the dance floor or headphones in equal measures.

The Murlocs had visions of creating a quintessential country-rock record when they begin recording their 7th LP – a collection of sublimely mellowed-out songs inspired by iconic albums like Sweetheart of the Rodeo and Exile on Main St – but the record soon took on its own unruly character. Spiked with The Murlocs’ signature breed of sharply crafted garage-punk Calm Ya Farm twists country-rock convention into a free-flowing album fully in touch with the frenetic energy of modern life.

The Circling Sun – Spirits (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 48:25 minutes | 626 MB | Genre: Jazz
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Soundway Records Ltd
Channeling spiritual/modal jazz and Latin rhythms, they simultaneously reference the greats such as Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders and Alice Coltrane, while maintaining a fresh perspective on ensemble dynamics.
Perhaps the group’s name is no coincidence – each instrument seems to be in orbit around the concept of symbiotic synergy – and everyone is given equal space to shine; from a psychedelic Korg, to a delirious saxophone or the gentle ripples of a harp. There’s a huge array of keyboards, skillfully manned by the likes of Guy Harrison and Cory Champion (Clear Path Ensemble), with a standout acoustic piano solo by Harrison on “Plume”.
Not to be outshone, the wind section delivers ecstatic saxophone riffs, fluttering flutes and solid horn choruses throughout. Meanwhile, providing vital foundational support are the percussion (Soundway alumnus Julien Dyne), vibraphone, acoustic bass and full choir arranged by Matt Hunter.
It’s a testament to their harmonious relationship and skill that this debut album instantly sounds like a classic from a group that might have been together a decade.

For most music lovers and musicians, the name André Caplet conjures up images of a great conductor with an international career, and an outstanding orchestrator who orchestrated several works by Claude Debussy. But when we talk about the composer André Caplet, many seem to be unaware of the rich catalogue of works he was able to write despite his premature death at the age of 46. Yet, as his masterpiece The Fantastic Tale shows, he was without doubt a brilliant composer with an art for storytelling and an exceptional knowledge of each instrument, which enabled him to skilfully set texts to music with total respect for prosody, to delicately combine different timbres, to create a wide palette of colours, and thus to depict a sound landscape that was at once warm, limpid and polished. From the deadpan humour of Trois fables to the pain of war transcended in Les Prières, his musical discourse is always of great sincerity whatever the subject, and it touches us like the voice of our parents, telling us stories while we were children. Let us hope that these pieces, some of which are still unpublished or little known, but recorded here, will give this storyteller-composer the true recognition he so richly deserves.
