The Shaolin Afronauts - Dust / Salt Flat Muscle - Afrobeat from Australia, one of two advance singles from their forthcoming 5 LP set (all new!) The Fundamental Nature of Being

The mysterious afro-­soul of The Shaolin Afronauts first echoed across the dance floors of Australia in early 2008, captivating audiences with a highly evolved and unique approach to avant-garde soul music matched with an improvisational pedigree that immediately setthem apart from their peers. In the almost fifteen years since the ensemble's debut they have released three albums on Freestyle Records and toured across Australia and around the world. After an extended hiatus punctuated by rare live performances, The Shaolin Afronauts return with The Fundamental Nature of Being, an epic five album release that expands the sonic vision of the ensemble to towering new heights of burning afro-funk alongside esoteric and ethereal new sonic excursions. This expanded musical journey further explores the wide spectrum of the band's musical identity – with each of the five parts designed as both standalone records, while also offering a singular listening journey across the band's expansive musical world. The 5-part project was recorded over just five days, drawing upon the band's rich influence of 1970s West and South African music, jazz, psych-rock & soul, while also exploring the transatlantic sonic intersection between the 1960s electronic avant-garde & spiritual jazz. Free and partially directed improvisation is employed as a central component of the compositions, with the musical works acting as frameworks for the collective musical enterprise that has developed over the ensemble's near fifteen years together. The vast project is available as a strictly limited 5 LP box-set, with a deluxe booklet of extended liner notes, due for release September 16th 2022. Each individual album also being made available for singular purchase, and on CD & digital formats, over the month following. The Fundamental Nature of Being firmly re-establishes Shaolin Afronauts as one of the most interesting and innovative collectives of creative improvising musicians operating in the world today.

People on this site will be complaining about not enough jazz and then post white cis girl gringo pop. So ya like jazz? Well you're giving me an excuse to infodump about music again.

Kamasi Washington. He just released a super intense new album, his sax solos are strong and brilliant, but his slower atmospheric compositions are also poweful. The symbolism in the video to Truth, about the transcendant continuity of hybrid migrant cultures, made me cry several times. His lyrics are always full of black history while taking a fighting stance towards the future. Really, so many hours of music and it's all deep and fresh and in the moment.

Tigran Hamasyan. This guy started in prog rock, then decided it was not complex enough and created a form of jazz that is just mind bogling. If you thought a piano solo doesn't rock, get a load of this guy. This is what I call rhythm. And he also connects it with Georgian harmonies for a beautiful atmosphere.

So ya like jazz hop. Like chillout lowfi, but actually reaching deep and unfolding complex melodies without ever losing the cool vibes. Adding spoken words that are both poetry and common people from the community comming to big realizations. I'm talking about Alfa Mist here. It sounds like electronic oldschool hiphop beats but it's actually all played acoustic. Go dig the studio sessions.

I'm not even going to get into Nduduzo Makhathini, Seun Kuti, Yusef Dayes, Shaolin Afronauts, Yussef Kamaal... Jazz ain't old, these artists are all active right now, constantly bringing new twists to the genre. Stop telling other people to open their minds, open your own mind first. Having no opinion doesn't make you a better person. Stop preaching, start living.

This post was supposed to be a rant about ESC fans asking for countries to only sing in their native language, instead I'm turning it into a music recommendation post since I feel like these requests comes from a place of "I want to listen to music that's different from usual, and not the usual pop radio songs".

As someone whose music taste can be summed up as "if it's weird, I'm in" have some music that you definitely don't listen to on the radio:

Albums:

The Rabbit that hunts tigers -Yin Yin (This would the perfect soundtrack for a futuristic western movie where the main character is also a samurai imo)

Kontinuum- Klaus Schulze (cool background music, mysterious sci-fi but not in a soul crushing or scary way)

Flight of the Ancients- The Shaolin Afronauts (the best intro to an album I've ever heard and funky jazzy vibes. Cool trumpets)

Semillero- Dengue Dengue Dengue (idk how to describe this but mh. Would use it as a soundtrack for Heart of Darkness by Conrad)

The Gereg -The Hu (Mongolian Rock-Metal, worth checking them out)

The Gods We can Touch- AURORA (this is way less obscure than other suggestions but I swear to god AURORA sounds like an angel to me but the vibes are those of a biblically accurate one)

Songs:

Hocus Pocus- Focus (prog rock jodel?!? Spotify suggested this to me and I'm in love with this)

Acid Rain- Liquid Tension Experiment (found this by searching jazz metal. Instrumental. Very good)

Trumpet Sketches - Janko Nilovic (trumpet makes brain go brrrr)

Artists:

NanowaR of Steel (Italian comedy metal band. Sings both in English and Italian, if you ask me they go for the too-good-to-be-just-a-joke comedy)

Dr. Steel (Dark with dieselpunk vibes. Every song is unique yet the vibe is so familiar, definitely villainy. Comes with lore)

Paul Shapera (a compilation of rock operas that take place in the same universe, there's plot. Lots of it. I can't recommend a single one because the cool part is seeing the story evolve)

Tales under the Oak (dungeon synth music, very calming and frog themed)

Specific playlists I have too much fun making:

POV: you just died but luckily there's a party on the other side

This is about craving your lover's insides (both playlists are currently in progress and will be updated whenever I feel like it)

All links lead to spotify, except for kontinuum which I could find only on YouTube. Also please note that the playlists include less obscure songs so maybe that's a good place from where you can start? Idk. Italic means that it's only instrumental, I feel like Hocus Pocus should be in the group too but jodel counts as singing.

#mentioning Eurovision Song Contest #music recommendation #this is stuff I actually listen to while studying #I also lowkey hope of finding my people out there #Dr steel #AURORA singer #Paul Shapera #alternative music #nanowar of steel
