What the mailbox brought 2008-04-03 08:08:23 Every week, we get bombarded with emails from PR guys and artists who want their music reviewed. Some of those are industry guys who’ve never checked what this blog is about, because we get stuff like U2, yet some are honest artist/readers of the blog and I’d definitely feel bad if I don’t lend [...]
Baris K. 2008-04-03 03:31:10 Our friend Baris K has done two outstanding mixes of 70’s Turkish cosmic disco music, with prevalent psychedelic & Anatolian Rock influences. If you’re an oldies collector, you know how golden the Turkish 70’s are. In fact it has gone completely downhill since then and people are still hunting for the odd 70’s record, of [...]
Undomondo Radio Show #50 2008-04-05 13:46:40 ‘Allo Boozers
Here we are at our #50th radio show at Dinamo FM. A big accomplishment for lazy people like us. I’ve made an exquisite mix for #50 with 27 songs clocking in a little bit under an hour. Lots of ambient soundscapes, crazy futuristic stuff, spoken word, deep jazzy hiphop, surf & noise and even [...] Read more:Radio
Reblog Mon 08.04 2008-04-08 10:40:47 Here’s two cover songs for you today, both found on an excellent compilation called Jazz and Flowers. One is a sorta dnb remix of Karen Aoki’s cover of Smooth Operator and the other is a remake of Gangsta’s Paradise by UK’s Sunlightsquare, called Pastime Square, with a dancehall beat and great lyrics. Check the links [...]
Capillary Action 2008-04-08 02:47:07 If you remember a few days ago I told that, “So Embarrassing” the second album by Philadelphia rock band Capillary Action
deserves a bit more pondering. Anyone who frequents this blog knows that we love eclecticism as long as it’s used in the authentic form of the word, “drawing upon multiple theories, styles, or ideas“. [...]
Build an Ark 2008-04-10 07:31:07 For some reason when I first got a hold of “Dawn” I mistook “Build
an Ark” for “Like A Tim” because of the name. That’s why my first listen to the album was a story of shock, as this is a very soulful and organic album as opposed to “Like A Tim”s electronic techno music. [...]
John Zorn - The Dreamers 2008-04-11 04:03:48 If there’s one person I won’t tire composing similar music, it’s John Zorn. His 2008 title The Dreamers
is out and it’s basically The Gift No.2 with a lot of great references to genres like exotica and surf with the help of Cyro Baptista’s mood setting percussions and Marc Ribot’s delicate guitar tone, this time [...]
Netlabel : Cycles, Camomille’s 100th 2008-04-12 04:39:14 This weekend I’ll be sifting through some netlabel releases. First up is Cycles
available from Camomille Records as their 100th release. A release spanning 44 tracks and over 3 hours of quality electronic/acoustic music! After 6 years of releasing free music to the world, Camomille is celebrating their 100th release with a great roster of [...]
Netlabel : 12 Records 2008-04-13 08:32:25 Another standard bearing netlabel is 12 Records
. Specializing in ambient and folktronica they’re close to achieving the milestone 50th release. On No. 46 they have the Austrian David Schweighart and on No. 47 they have Muhr whose Miasmah release is still doing chores on my playlists. Here’s what the label has to say about both [...]
Atjazz 2008-04-15 03:11:43 One of our favourite deep house producers, UK’s Martin Iveson aka Atjazz has a new one under his belt called Full Circle. As the Co-founder and head of Mantis Recordings (Rhythm Plate, Brooks) has been on the forefront of jazzy UK deep house for ages. Operating from Derby he’s been producing a steady supply of [...]
Shining 2008-04-17 11:06:38 We went to see Rune Grammofon’s avantjazzmetal combo Shining
yesterday night. I had heard that they pack a punch at their shows. They were very loud indeed. When the guitars kicked in during their opener Winterreise, I thought my ears were bleeding. The sound system was pretty loud as well and being on a wednesday [...]
Taunus 2008-04-21 13:12:31 Berlin based folktronica guitar duo Taunus was formed by the Berliner steel string guitarists Jan Thoben and Jochen Briesen in early 2001. Their sophomore album “Harriet” on Ahornfelder, features a cast of guest musicians playing clarinet, harmonium and vibes including F.S. Blumm on guitars. Their melancholic and fragile folk based on acoustic steel guitars and [...]

Soulphiction 2008-04-25 08:27:59 Soulphiction aka Jackmate aka Michael Baumann has a new album out on the indisposable Berlin label Sonar Kollektiv. How they manage to be both prolific and quality is beyond me, but I have to say they’re holding the standard for cool electronic dance scene nowadays. Baumann is a prolific artist like Sonar; I think he’s [...]
Medeski Martin & Wood 2008-04-24 11:36:13 Medeski, Martin
, Wood & Ribot - Crosstown Traffic
Hi kids, yesterday was a national holiday in Turkey. The kids holiday where every year kids from all over the world come to Turkey and do their nation’s folkloric dance etc. Meanwhile rest of the kids are bored to death by extralong speeches from tutors, and not-so creative [...]
Mailbox P2 : AGF, Douglas Lee, Pattern is Movement, Aficionado 2008-04-26 10:20:59 We’re already fans of the German spoken word / electronica artist Antye Greie Fuchs aka AGF. I thnik I’ve already mentioned her collabs with Vladislav Delay and Zavoloka. She’s released a new album on her own label in February, composed of her own voice and electronic transformations. Earlabs review.

Steve Lehman Quintet 2008-04-30 06:27:44 Can’t remember where I read about SteveLehman
’s 2007 effort, might be on Allaboutjazz or Downtown, but I was intrigued to see this 28 year old (same age as me!) saxophonist named on top of best album charts. After hunting down his “On Meaning” album on Pi Recordings, which is home to the who’s who [...]
Sunday Youtube Selection 2008-05-04 06:27:49 OvO - Live at Eli’s Mile High Club in Oakland, CA
I’ve been neglecting our youtube feed for some time (a month to be exact) yet I’ve bookmarked lots of videos in the meantime. I’m not posting them all at the same time though because I want you guys to watch & digest!. So today I [...] Read more:Sunday

Another exciting release from our favourite Norwegian contemporaries Rune Grammofon sees an incredible roster of improvisors get together for a special project. Curated by writer and film-maker Philip Mullarkey to record and play live as part of an art/film project entitled [Box] the quartet includes none other than Trevor Dunn of Fantômas, [...]
Kaki King 2008-05-13 04:27:19 I’ll admit I’m a new convert to Katherine Elizabeth (Kaki) King’s intricate music. I haven’t listened to her previous body of work which has higher critical acclaim. I’m not really knowledgeable in this acoustic alt. country/folk/indie stuff, frankly I haven’t even listened to Cat Power. I’m not an American you know!
That’s why I’m not [...] Read more:Kaki King

Mother’s Day Mix 2008-05-12 01:20:44 Yesterday I made a “Mother’s Day Mix” on muxtape by selecting songs that has one of the words “mother, mom, mama” in it. In classic undomondo fashion forgot to post it though!.
Here’s the link to the mix.
BTW If you didn’t know Muxtape is a very cool new service with simple design & function [...]
Dub/Step Essentials 2008 2008-05-15 09:31:40 Here’s a quick recap of dubby releases I’ve enjoyed this year. I’ve limited this selection to dubstep andubstep, but there’s lots of roots Jamaican music I’ve shortlisted that I might post here.
All 2008 releases from Ikonika, Appleblim & Peverelist, hiphop queen Georgia Anne Muldrow’s newest project Pattie Blingh & The Akebulan 5 , Benga’s new Read more:Essentials
Dub/Step Selection Cont’d 2008-05-16 06:15:29 I received a mail from our fellow steppa head Golem, saying that the dubstep selection isn’t complete without these tracks. Here are his oneliners and his selection.
* Jakes : Nuff respect for Mr. Jakes for being one of the best dnb MCs around and now he steps into the dubstep scene as a producer. Big [...]
The Dragons 2008-05-20 03:10:19 Let’s start this day with a lovely nugget by Ninja Tune released last year by the obscure USA band The Dragons
. Properly released after 37 years of initial conception, “BFI” is a psychedelic surf band from the 60’s with more soul than surf guitar. Composed of 3 Malibu, LA surfer brothers this little gem couldn’t [...]
Undomondo Radio Show #53 2008-05-21 09:28:30 Numbered #53, last week’s show begins with a theme of soundscapes, dubstep and noise, while the second part is more jazzed-up, soulful and dubby. #53 has some essential tunes like The In Crowd’s Marcus Garvey’s Back in Town, another song from yesterday’s The Dragons, Cassetteboy’s hilarious “Lambonaise Tonight” which features an interesting adult Harry Potter Read more:Radio
Trus’me 2008-05-21 02:56:31 One of the albums that didn’t get as much attention as it deserved last year was “Working Nights” by Trus’me. Released in November 2007 by Manchester based producer David James Wolstencroft who has already garnered attention with his previous 12″s on LFM,”Working Nights” is a versatile cosmic dance album with roots in disco and soul, [...]

Ljudbilden & Piloten 2008-05-23 03:31:54 We’re being bombarded with a slew of newschool hiphop/neo-soul - primarily from the UK - these days and I was thinking of making a coverage of that now that the summer’s here and summers basically need deep and mellow music, but it’s better left for Monday and we’ll start fresh the new week. I’ll be [...]
