Originally from Mexico City and Buenos Aires respectively, GARCIA and BEN met through a record-shop owning older brother - coming together to form ONE SECOND BRIDGE and in doing so brought together their love of pop, electronica, shoegaze and delicate psychedelia. The two found they had an immediate musical affinity and turned their hand to late-night recording sessions that tended towards improvisation without boundaries. Forming the backbone of their self-titled second LP, their mandate is re-interpreting the 'melody-drenched output' of classic 4AD artists, the 'shoe gazing essence' of CREATION bands. Opening with the self-titled "One Second Bridge", Garcia and Ben roam into view through awatercolour backdrop of BASINKSI-style decaying soundscapes, before being drawn through chiming acoustic guitars & a heat-haze of effects leave everything tantalisingly out of reach. Next, on the appropriately titled "No.2", MOGWAI's "Somewhere Nice" gets a bright-eyed rinse-down & comes out with a genuine spring in it's step that is both infectious & deeply moving. Elsewhere, "Um Minuto" uses some SATIE-inspired piano to poignant effect; "Keep On Falling" manages to reference both BADALAMENTI and CREATION's SLOWDIVE without becoming overawed, whilst "Alt. Ending" sees you out on a blush of choral rectitude. A gorgeous album that wears its grandness with astonishing ease!

Disco, Boogie, Balearic sounds and Italo disco come together to take you on a musical journey of retro-futurism. | $23.99 (AUD) El Rego is a true legend of African Soul Music. Here for the first time on album are 12 of his greatest recordings from the late '60s and early '70s hand-picked by Daptone Records. Afro-Soul collector/DJ Frank Gossner had spent years combing West Africa tracking down 45's by Theophile Do Rego (aka El Rego) before finally meeting him face to face in his home in Benin. From that relationship came this album, which we present to you here in a 20 page hardcover Bookcase CD featuring El Rego's own story of his life and music along with pictures from his personal collection and artwork from his original 45's. The music has been remastered with great care, and the vinyl contains an exclusive BONUS 45' (while supplies last) of Se Na Min, one of his most sought after afro-funk tracks, backed with E Ma Non Tin Me, a beautiful and somewhat more traditional song about two blind men who agree to go together and leap to their deaths into a river. The music of El Rego varies astoundingly in style and | Texas Thunder Soul (Deluxe Edition) $29.99 (AUD) |
