The keen ears at @blogamf hipped me to #CrammedDiscs’ 2022 release of this lost 1987 album by Congolese-born/Belgian-raised #MauricePotoDoudongo. It's future forward electro-funk, ala #ZazouBiyake - or #Prince, fr christs sake! - but steeped in the rhythms and textures of #CongoleseRumba and #Soukous. Rich, joyful, and really quite beautiful, this one gets me moving and still sounds relevant today.

Tuxedomoon’s “Desire” Receives 45th Anniversary Reissue — Co-Founder Steven Brown Releases New Single “Pyramides”

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://post-punk.com/tuxedomoons-desire-receives-45th-anniversary-reissue-co-founder-steven-brown-releases-new-single-pyramides/

Ended Wednesday and welcomed Thursday after a swin with Douzième Journée: Le Verbe, La Parure, L'Amour by Benjamin Lew / Steven Brown, released on Crammed Discs in Belgium in 1982.

Lead out by the deliciously eerie, singed brass of ‘Bamako ou ailleurs’, which Jon K dropped to killer effect in his Reel Torque mixtape, the album remains one of the most vital early numbers on Crammed Discs, unfurling like the noirish score to a dark thriller set in their native Brussels. It was Benjamin Lew’s first recording, and an early example of Steven Brown’s work in Brussels, where he settled after his band Tuxedomoon toured Europe,,,

Lew & Brown clearly found a muse in each other, and modestly proceeded to craft this ponderous album of spare airs and ætheric suggestion, dematerialising a palette of Brown’s sax, organ and piano thru Lew’s analog synth, drum machines and tape.. - Boomkat

Parmi les pépites belges "méconnues"... il y a 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗞𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 avec l’album 𝙇𝙚𝙨 𝙏𝙪𝙚𝙪𝙧𝙨 𝘿𝙚 𝙇𝙖 𝙇𝙪𝙣𝙚 𝘿𝙚 𝙈𝙞𝙚𝙡 sorti en 1981. Cet album se distingue par son éclectisme musical. La musique du groupe a été décrite par la presse internationale comme un mélange de No Wave new-yorkaise et de pop française, avec une pincée de Captain Beefheart et une sérieuse dose d'humour absurde.
