Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from November 12, 2020 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

chris:

hi, chresti! :)
Avatar 8:05pm
Flash Strap:

there is a large black population in coastal Colombia, and thus a huge & ongoing African influence on Colombian music generally, but this Machuca material seems to take it a bit further into murky territory of heightening the African-ness in a variety of odd exotic ways that are both organic and manufactured to a degree. a real gnarl of syncretism
Avatar 8:07pm
Flash Strap:

god it's such a unique trippy sound from this crew
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 8:07pm
Aitch:

Syncretism word for the day.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:07pm

thanks for a bit of context. its really fun. digging!

syncretism is always the word in the Explorers Room

New Meridian Bros sounds dope!
Avatar 8:10pm
Flash Strap:

yeah so while I'm diggin' this Machuca comp and thinking about legendary Machuca outfit Cumbia Siglo XX, I see that the Meridian Bros have a new album out – and it's called Cumbia Siglo XXI. i mean hell yes
Avatar 8:11pm
Flash Strap:

Cumbia Siglo XX = 20th century cumbia of course

@FM: it really really is

Akiva:

This sounds vaguely like Palermo’s Grunch. You had us dancing like crazy for that one.
Avatar 8:19pm
Flash Strap:

Hi Akiva! yeah that one is wild! I think this sounds a lot like that Piranas record
Avatar 8:22pm
Flash Strap:

like the piranas / romperayo / meridian bros sound is sort of converging on XXI
Avatar 8:22pm
Flash Strap:

but now we take ourselves to Iquitos, Peru for some delicious psychedelic cumbia

Ranil sounding a lot like Los Wembler's on Licenciado

I've never seen it, but this Yamash'ta album is the soundtrack to a film about Grand Prix racing, of all things
Avatar 9:40pm
Flash Strap:

I recently saw another film with a Yamash'ta score: Altman's "Images" - couldn't recommend more highly
  9:41pm
Dean:

Stomu Yamashta is seriously overlooked. I'm not into film soundtracks, because I'm not into film, but I really enjoy his music.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:41pm
Shaw:

I love Images! haven't seen it in a long time. Now I want to re-watch it
Avatar 9:42pm
Flash Strap:

This Tsuchiya record - and the Ippu Do record from around this time, Night Mirage - are really rewarding imo
Avatar 9:43pm
Flash Strap:

@Shaw: it's so rewatchable, really looking forward to rewatching it myself. really cool in dialogue with his later 3 Women (and also Persona, of course)
