New flat black pieces of plastic...
This thread will chronicle the demise of a 20th century technique... for those so inclined...
Today's spiral choice...

Just released on vinyl by Irma Records on October 22, 2009, about 14 months after the Aug '08 release of the same was available on Traxsource. The question is "why bother"? Then to make it two 12" releases in two months IRMA also released the brand new LTJ Experience - Sound Machine 12" (http://www.juno.co.uk/products/373267-01.htm) on Nov 16 '09. Wow, almost a revival.
Atjazz, who has produced for IRMA for years now, does a fine job handling the re-production of "Caterpillar". Nice one.
Amana, on graduating from NYU, left the east coast to head to Los Angeles, where she joined forces with producer Saverio ‘Sage’ Principini, to record her debut album ‘Indigo Red’.
"I grew up listening to (and being inspired by) everything under the sun…thanks to my mother; everything from Carmen McRae to Angelique Kidjo, from Manu Chao to Vivaldi, from Bob Marley to Lauren Hill, from Zap Mama to Alliance Ethnique, Eminem to Jack Johnson...so when I create music, my ear jumps all over the place and I'll find myself combining opera with bossa and jazz, but hey, that's who I am..."
Recently Amana was ‘discovered’ also in Europe by the veteran Irma Records indie label, with 22 years of classy releases under their belt world-wide, and it is they who are preparing to release ‘Indigo Red’ throughout Europe and Japan in 2008.
An eclectic combination of Neo-Soul, Jazz, Funk, and world music; her lyrics are vivid and laced with a consciousness and purity that can only add to the music scene today.
