Summary: Beginning with a teaser from CFCF`s sublime forthcoming Seigen Ono-influenced “On Vacation” set for International Feel. We all gotta wait, but it`s gonna be worth it. We`re also still waiting for the vinyl of Jacob Gurevitsch`s “Lovers In Paris”, but Music For Dreams slipped out a bonus in the form of “Obsessed”. Quality music of a darker hue surfaced from <a href="http://testpressing.org/2015/11/denial-of-service-%E6%88%A6%E4%BA%89-sensou-film-recordings" target="_blank">Denial.Of.Service</a> and Tropic Of Cancer, both a reminder that “Balearic” encompasses The Cure`s <a href="https://youtu.be/Ycxc8Xitweo%20" target="_blank">“All Cat`s Are Grey”</a> and Chris & Cosey`s <a href="https://youtu.be/W2iOE7lBAyw" target="_blank">“October Love Song”</a>. For timeless, strangeness, <a href="http://testpressing.org/2015/11/pilooski-isola-dirty" target="_blank">Pilooski`s</a> spoken word-based painting of Dominique Willem Berretty`s Villa Isola won hands down. On the re-issue front Gilles` essential <a href="http://testpressing.org/2015/11/gilles-peterson-presents-sun-ra-his-arkestra-to-those-of-earthand-other-worlds-strut-art-yard" target="_blank">Sun Ra</a> selection and Africa Seven`s overview of <a href="http://testpressing.org/2015/11/tala-a-m-african-funk-experimentals-1975-to-1978-africa-seven" target="_blank">Tala AM`s</a> Funk took November`s prize. If I had to pick an edit it would Miajica`s tribute to Pino Danielle on <a href="http://testpressing.org/2015/11/fleeting-wax" target="_blank">Fleeting Wax`s</a> debut. <br> Golf Channel`s <a href="http://testpressing.org/2015/11/mangiami-the-compilation-golf-channel" target="_blank">“Mangiami”</a> compilation contained eight strong tracks for the modern dance floor (the files were nice but the black plastic is so much better; great pressing) the standout from which was the Electro Soul of Dedication`s “Let Me Rock You”. Alex From Tokyo & Bing Ji Ling`s “Don`t Move” came a close second, and Alex`s <a href="http://testpressing.org/2015/11/tokyo-black-star-edo-express-e-p-world-famous" target="_blank">Tokyo Black Star</a> launched their World Famous label with a nice update of the “Egyptian Reggae” theme, mechanizing it and adding a little Morricone. Another essential compilation collected the remix work of Young Marco, providing a smart overview of his “sound”. Larry Heard remixed Kai Alce`s “Take A Chance” (released in July but I only just managed to score a copy) and made me wonder if I would always have to buy everything Mr. Fingers touches. <br> Track-list<br> CFCF / Lighthouse On Chatham Sound / International Feel<br> CFCF / A Various Language (From The Same Hill) / Driftless<br> Pilooski / Sakura No Mori No Makai No Shita / Dirty<br> Jacob Gurevitsch / Obsessed / Music For Dreams<br> Tropic Of Cancer / Stop Suffering / Blackest Ever Black<br> Denial.Of.Service / Sensou / Film<br> Material / South Of There / Balearic Blah Blah<br> Dedication / Let Me Rock You / Golf Channel<br> Tokyo Black Star / Mitokomon / World Famous<br> Vangelis Katsoulis / Enigma (Young Marco Mix) / Safe Trip<br> Kai Alce / Take A Chance (Larry Heard`s Ambient Inst.) / NDATL<br> Miajica / RIP Dino / Fleeting Wax<br> Tala AM / Mwouop / Africa Seven<br> <br>
