The Final Solution : Brotherman OST
Numero Group
Brotherman
Never Coming Back Again
I Don't Care
Girl In My Life

He was a pusher that became a preacher. A gangster pimp serving soup from the trunk of his Coup Deville. A mutant cross between Robin Hood and Friar Tuck. Everyman, our man on the street, Brotherman. Continuing a tradition that began with Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, and culminated with Shaft and Superfly, Brotherman was a blaxploitation film set to hit screens in 1975. Prior to the script being finished, the producers commissioned an original soundtrack to be performed by The Final Solution, a fledgling vocal group from Chicago's west side. The 10-song album draws deeply from Curtis Mayfield's well, certainly, but the proof in the pudding is Carl Wolfolk's unique guitar style a combination of flamenco and funk that stabs around the four part harmonies. But before even one foot of film was shot, the plug was pulled and the movie was cancelled. Dragged around for 30 years by songwriter and arranger Wolfolk, the tapes of his life's work have finally been mixed, and the soundtrack album has been augmented to include two orchestrated instrumentals intended for the film. Having no stills from the film to work with, the Numero Group tasked Minneapolis' Burlesque of North America to paint a cover that could withstand the scrutiny of any blaxploitation poster geek.

CD - NUMERO022 - £13.99
The deluxe single disc set is housed in our standard slipcase, with a plush booklet detailing the known history of the film and the group that created the music.

Marcus Garvey : The Great Black Nationalist

Piccadilly Records

Marcus Garvey : The Great Black Nationalist
White Label
July 1921 - Speech Part 1
Speech Part 2
July 1921 - Speech Part 3

Black Nationalist Marcus Garvey recognized that his Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) would find its most enthusiastic audience in the United States, despite the organization's professed worldwide mission. After fighting World War I, ostensibly to defend democracy and self-determination, thousands of African-American soldiers returned home to find intensified discrimination, segregation, racial violence, and hostile relations with white Americans. Sensing growing frustration, Garvey used his considerable charisma to attract thousands of disillusioned black working-class and lower middle-class followers and became the most popular black leader in America in the early 1920s. The UNIA, committed to notions of racial purity and separatism, insisted that salvation for African Americans meant building an autonomous, black-led nation in Africa. To this end, the movement offered in its 'Back to Africa' campaign a powerful message of black pride and economic self-sufficiency. In Garvey's 1921 speech, 'If You Believe the Negro Has a Soul', he emphasized the inevitability of racial antagonism and the hopelessness of interracial coexistence.

Various Artists : B-Music Migrating! Caustic - Mutatable Vol 4

Piccadilly Records

Various Artists : B-Music Migrating! Caustic - Mutatable Vol 4
B-Music
Lispector - Palace Of My Soul
Selda - Nem Kaldi
Twinkranes - Fizz Nor Feedback

The fourth instalment in B-Music's fantastic Tour series, features even more brilliant new music. On side-A we have Lispector with "Palace Of My Soul" it's a lo-fi jam, with lots of fuzziness and an art-girl delivery, not sure if this is from the forthcoming LP or not. Next up is the fantastic Selda with "Nem Kaldi", brilliant exotic sounds that I think was a bonus track on the CD Version of her re-issued LP. Flip over for some very exciting new music from Twinkranes, probably the best thing I've heard this summer from a new band with a krautrock influence (there's a lot of em y'know), anyway they have motorik rhythm, clashing guitars, Silver Apples bass, and oddball vocals, sound good? I didn't even do it justice with that review.

Goldmund : The Malady Of Elegance

Piccadilly Records

Goldmund : The Malady Of Elegance
TYPE
Finding It There
Thremody
The Winter Of 1539 To 1540
This is Goldmund's second album on Type, definitely one for those who like to swan around the house in a bathrobe, very early on a Sunday morning. We have 15 tracks of straight up piano compositions. There is nothing too jaunty here, it's mostly minimal, easily plaid morning music for a sore head. Play this when your folks are round for dinner, they may even think you've grown up somewhat.
