THEA HD [R]

Leaf Label A&R and Odda Recordings label owner Thea HD unearths the lesser known common sounds. from old soundtracks, library music to experimental electronic music…

Joy is it. Yes writing about music is dancing about architecture. But one of the things music can be at its best is joy. Selection of tracks here that, for me at least, bring joy, build, reflect, surround it, explode and envelope it, sustain it. Etc. A few favourites basically. Love, Space by Leila heard on a channel 4 documentary in the 90s and still love it. Tracks funky high life and Haidara (a lioness) are about as good as music gets. Perfect tracks from Talk Talk, alice coltrane, nina simone. Colin Mcphee's transcription of indonesian gamalan played by him and Ben Britten. Stars of the lid's happiest number, and other banging tunes. Monocarpic is a once flowering plant, and Monocarpics is a music project between brothers across borders going back 20 years. However dark the night, there will always be a dawn.

Latin Jazz Funk Jazz Fusion Afro Cuban Jazz

Tropical rhythms, devotional boogie and soulful shenanigans with a heavy jazz undertone, Patrick Forge gathers it all up for your listening pleasure.
