In Belly We Trust

    As the next official phase of his fascination with sonic experimentation, 'IN BELLY WE TRUST' is Agung Mango threading together a defined sense of originality and versatility with the philosophy of the brain-gut connection – the enteric nervous system.

    An album of navigating this realisation, 'IN BELLY WE TRUST' is a testament to patience and maturity, and how it’s reached by taking detailed notes from his environment, the people that surround him and his own dependency. The record draws inspiration from experimental rap, punk, jazz, alternative R&B and his rich Indonesian and Italian heritage.

    Speaking to 'IN BELLY WE TRUST’s release, Agung Mango shares, “This album is a reflection of a pivotal moment in my life where I learned to trust myself and embrace authenticity. I was going through a lot during that time and music seemed to be the only release that was helping me. It’s a raw expression of my journey in the last year and a bit.”

    Belly

    King - 30th Anniversary Edition

      Belly found themselves at something of a crossroads when it came to following up their 1993 debut album 'Star' - a wildly successful record that earned the band two GRAMMY nominations including the coveted Best New Artist award. With bassist Gail Greenwood having joined the ranks in between, she plus the trio of Tanya Donelly and brothers Chris and Tom Gorman rented a house in rural Rhode Island to write collaboratively before heading to Nassau in the Bahamas to record in Island Records founder Chris Blackwell’s legendary studio Compass Point (a place famed for where AC/DC, Grace Jones, Tom Tom Club, and countless others recorded major works). Away from industry pressure and guided by veteran producer Glyn Johns (Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Who), they made the most of the relaxed surroundings, recording live in the room and minimising overdubs so to capture as much of the band’s chemistry on tape as they could.

      Featuring singles 'Now They'll Sleep', 'Seal My Fate', and 'Super-Connected', the resultant King was a step on, a deceptively complex album where the quartet had chosen artistic growth over commerciality. Their lyrics took more of a political and personal bent, while musically it was heavier, in part due to Gail's muscular playing style and more deft guitar interplay between Tanya and Tom. SPIN Magazine saying at the time that it marked their evolution from “indie darlings to rock contenders.”

      Bruce returns blistered and ablaze, with three flame-licked, windswept and deadly dancefloor deities on 12” vinyl, for the second edition of Poorly Knit.

      Following on from it’s daft and fisty older brothers on "The Price / Mimicry", the raw power of wind and fire takes over on "Belly / Burned Alive", as we are plunged into devastating sonic worlds, adorned in UK soundsystem badness and Mother Nature’s vengeance.

      Providing elemental catastrophe catharsis, through sound exploration, "Belly"’s steppas storm of wailing wind and clattering thunder is backed by "Burned Alive"’s soaring and demented UK garage inferno, to finally subside to the smoldering, dubbed-out vocal remains from "Hot One (Chapped Lips Version)".

      With a continued emphasis on the importance of physical medium within dance music, the digitals are an abridged edit of the full release; "Hot One" is vinyl only and only on the vinyl can you hear the full mixes of "Belly" and "Burned Alive". Pressed on eco-friendly Eco-Mix reground PVC and sleeved in DIY lino printed sleeves, each record is a unique shade of marbled storm grey. Cut loud at 45rpm, not only does this sustainable slice of dance floor mayhem come at an attractive price tag, you can rest assured that sound quality has not at all been sacrificed. 

      STAFF COMMENTS

      Matt says: A winner on two fronts - first, it shows that high quality dance twelves can be produced at a reasonable price after all (with a little bit of forward thinking of course); and that Bruce still possesses that awe-inspiring sonic power that's be a constant throughout the innovative producer's catalogue. A triumph of a record!

        Dennis Walks / Drumbago & Blenders

        Belly Lick / The Game Song

          This is the very first reissue of the super rare 1968 Reggay anthem Belly Lick by Dennis Walks. Originally released on the Blue Cat label, this very much sought-after single features two exceptional tracks from the golden era of Jamaican music. "Belly Lick" by Dennis Walks and "The Game Song" by Drumbago & The Blenders exemplify the rich musical landscape of late 1960s Jamaica. Both tracks were written by Dennis Walks and produced by Joe Gibbs. The original pressing has become highly collectible, with copies fetching big sums in the collectors' market…

          Robbie Basho

          Snow Beneath The Belly Of A White Swan: The Lost Live Recordings

            It has been said that Robbie Basho's art was strongest in concert. To what extent the experience can be reconstituted is uncertain. Whatever the case, 'Snow Beneath the Belly of a White Swan' is the mother lode of Basho live recordings. On these five discs we are treated to some remarkable pieces that have never been published, as well as surprising renditions of old favourites. Compiled from Basho’s sprawling personal collection of master tapes (discovered during the production of Voice of the Eagle: The Enigma of Robbie Basho), and potentially encompassing his entire career, this edition represents a live companion to the studio set Song of the Avatars: The Lost Master Tapes (Tompkins Square, 2020). While the tapes have (in the main) survived incredibly well over the decades (against the odds), please note that some previously unpublished tracks with subpar to poor fidelity have been included.

            Evil Blizzard

            Rotting In The Belly Of The Whale

              Preston’s unholiest sons Evil Blizzard return with their most furious, compelling and diverse album to date, released on their own Crackedankles label, (which has recently branched out into releasing the likes of Hotwax, Thank, Bad Guys and TV Face.) Following the critical and commercial success of their last album ‘The Worst Show On Earth’ the band took a year off after that tour to recoup. And then got back together in March 2020, just in time for… another enforced year off. They did, however, release ‘The Very Best Of Evil Blizzard’ on vinyl, which was completely blank. And sold out in less than a day.

              The new album, their fifth, was written during and post lockdown and ‘reflects the claustrophobia, fear and paranoia of those days’ according to guitarist (not bassist!) Filthydirty. ‘The band has changed. One of our 4 bassists Kav left and we were joined by Fleshcrawl (aka Mr. Dibs, Hawkwind’s vocalist and bassist for over 12 years). Kav was inimitable as a musician, so it never crossed our minds to try and ‘replace’ him, so when Fleshcrawl scurried in he brought a whole new range of sounds and toys to the sandpit. Also, we’d run out of sonic space to play with, having just the basses, and everything had got a bit stale - so I switched to lead guitar which brought a whole new range of possibilities.

              'The new album is much more representational of the band’s record collections: it retains the ‘Sabbath-meets PiL-meets Killing Joke’ sound found on the band’s earlier albums, but now encompasses dub, goth and electronica in its 8 tracks, with clear nods in the general direction of Sonic Youth, Jane’s Addiction, Leftfield and The Mission. As opposed to all previous albums which were recorded live in one or two takes, this album took over three months with the band meticulously de-structuring songs ‘that sounded too much like pop songs’ resulting in an album that is uncomfortable yet still accessible.

              STAFF COMMENTS

              Barry says: The North West's own Evil Blizzard return for their new LP, adding a load of guitar and marginally less bass! There are elements of electronica in here and nods to classic synth music, there are precise cuts and meticulously produced interludes but it is all the better for it, this is a band who've found their sound.

              The Cribs

              In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull - Limited CD/DVD Edition

                The fifth album from The Cribs was recorded with Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev etc) and Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, Shellac), as well as at Abbey Road by the band themselves.

                ‘In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull’ marks a return to their classic threepiece status and heralds another chapter in the upwards trajectory of the Jarman brothers.
