Producer Anthony Monn parades every effect known to Euro-dream imagery in support of Lear as disco vamp: whispers from inside a tunnel, rhythms that filter in subliminally, themes that scale up to soprano range, choirs of angels singing, guitar rhythm rock-ons, and, of course, Lear's voice. Lear's singing is perhaps Monn's greatest effect: androgynous, sultry, out of reach and horny at the same time, Lear works hard to pretend at playing the merciless siren. She can't properly sing even one note, but what's that got to do with anything?

Though it received little attention at the time of its Swedish/Netherlands-only release in 1967, the album “Them Belfast Gypsies” has long been established as a stone-cold classic of rabid British garage punk/R&B.

Tensions were growing within the Velvet Underground following the release of their sophomore album, White Light, White Heat: the group was tired of receiving little recognition for its work, and Lou Reed and John Cale were pulling the group in different directions. The differences showed in the last recording sessions the band had with Cale in 1968: three pop-like songs in Reedx27s direction (Temptation Inside Your Heart, Stephanie Says and x27Beginning to See the Light) and a viola-driven drone in Calex27s direction (Hey Mr. Rain)n Reed told Sterling Morrison and Mo Tucker that Cale was out, and while neither was happy with the idea, faced with a choice of either no Cale or no band at all, the pair reluctantly sided with Reed. Cale played his last show with the Velvets at the Boston Tea Party in September 1968, and was fired shortly afterwards.Before work on their third album started, Cale was replaced by musician Doug Yule, formerly of the Boston group the Grass Menagerie, who had been a close associate of the band.

The best parties are never planned. When friends spontaneously drop by with other people in tow, that you don ́t even know, but will have learned to love by the end of the evening. And everyone contributes to the buffet: a popular classic dish, an unfamiliar delicacy, or a surprising specialty that makes you gasp: `What on earth is that?` with delight. The mood of De-Phazz ́s 17th studio album, with which the band is celebrating it ́s 25th anniversary, is similarly relaxed and joyful. Host and sample scientist Pit Baumgartnern shares Quincy Jones ́ attitude: “When you bring together what does not go together, you can only win.” He combines gritty rock vocals with a church choir, an alphorn (traditional alpine horn) with Ethno-Jazz, enhances new tunes with fragments of retro-sound- elements, thus enabling the exceptional voices to shine even brighter. “Pure moments of joy” are those when the various musical elements intertwine, and Baumgartner realizes: This works!
