Following his first record on Rekem (Fullness of Harmony, Rekem 08), Panos Charalambous returns with a double vinyl collection that compiles a wide amount of sounds and material. On top of recordings of his performances - where existing records are brought alive using objects from nature as cartridges - this album collects field recordings, performance and installation documentations, but also contributions from third artists that are brought into this expansive project. Bringing together – amongst others - Mike Cooper & Tasos Stamou’s London Taximi, midnight recordings of jackals captured on Greece’s Mount Athos, Aggelos Krallis’ raw take on Misirlou, a rhythmic dance on glass cups under the distant sounds of a country festival, as well as voice-o-graph records containing voices and immigrant stories from the '50s, Charalambous pieces together a rich and manifold sound mosaic, reinstating neglected or unknown voices from the Balkan peninsula. Focusing both on content and sonic experience, he manages once more to bring together the disparate and distant elements of the land, and to draw out a parallel ethnography and rapprochement of the local aural tradition. Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi. This lavish edition comes as a 2 clear vinyl LPs in a trifold sleeve which includes, amongst others, a pamphlet featuring an essay by Thanasis Moutsopoulos on the secret post-war history of folk music in Greece..
