Prime Babilu Microcosm
Brussels collective Babils on a double LP drawn from its improvisation sessions as a sextet, at the crossroads of psychedelic rock, krautrock, new wave and free jazz. Dedicated to the late guitarist Michel Duyck.
Gendarme de la Libertad
American minimalist David Toub's second album with pianist Stephane Ginsburgh: repetitive, obsessive music that brings in Che Guevara's 1964 speech on the gap between a state's principles and its actions.
Performed by Zenne Quartet, Vol. 2
Walter Hus's tenth string quartet, Landscapes for a Lost Angel, played by the Zenne Quartet: a suite of 19 contrasting pieces written in the last months of his wife's life and dedicated to her memory.
Performed by Zenne Quartet, Vol. 1
The Zenne Quartet of Brussels plays Walter Hus: the String Quartets No. 7 Jeunesse and No. 6 Malinconia and the early piece Five to Five (1984), from a series of ten quartets that anchors the Belgian composer's work.
The Plot
Second album by Brussels band Another Dancer: eleven songs of colourful, free-form art pop, laid out like a whodunit that never gets solved. Mixed by band members Michael Crabbé and Dries Robbe, with a cover painting by Dieter Durinck.
Au Nom Deus Asos
Elizabeth Vogler sings in Occitan and other South-West dialects to harmonium alone in the church of Lescun, in the Pyrénées: six songs between ancient folk and experimental music, third and final pressing, red cover.
