It really is a special one. Cheers also for the above link etc - I added it on to my name, which, it turns out, doesn't show up. So, keep listening and of course we can take mild critism - you obviously know you shizzle. It was only the link to the full album that got our backs up - torrents are heavy at the moment.Ben Rimmerhttp://www.faroutrecordings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182535191259051530.post-75951627833832580692009-06-09T07:01:34.914-04:002009-06-09T07:01:34.914-04:00It's not a lovely album, it's a GORGEOUS a...It's not a lovely album, it's a GORGEOUS album. And you have my heartfelt thanks for unearthing it. I didn't mean to imply you "conned" anyone, there's no need for that when the music speaks for itself. My intent was not to delimit the use of the qualifier "psych" so much as to say I don't buy this is as a "psych folk" album, mostly because that conjures images of the Incredible String Band (who I like) and their erstwhile progeny Devendra Banhardt (who I abhor), and that kind of twee elfish whimsy is not really what I get from Joyce. I suppose I could consider Joyce 'psych folk' in the way Sandy Denny is sometimes tagged with it, but that is more like guilt by association for both of them. Joyce's creativity and collaborations at this point in her career were evocative of their own atmospheres, many of which, as you said, traversed ground in that direction, absolutely. I suppose I would have taken better to hearing it described as having the same lush, textured psychedelic-fringed ambience as the Clube da Esquina. But that's a reference point that is going to move less units for any label hoping to sell to an English-speaking audience. I'm not condemning y'all for doing so, but there is a reason why you latched on to appropriating one blurb out of twelve -- "intriguing and entertaining" (The Independent) or even "magnificent rediscovery" (BBC) simply do not have the panache in 2009 that "Acid Folk Masterpiece" does. If I was in your position I might do the same. Really, I was just amused by the mild marketing spin. My mother once tried to teach me that sarcasm could be hurtful but alas I have yet to catch on. I do hope you don't lose any sleep over a mild criticism, though -- this production IS a labor of love, and that has obviously not gone unrecognized with the stacks of great press you guys are getting with this release. You know as well as I do that the 'blogosphere' largely serves for punks like me to get our 2-cents in. Or in your case, 2 quid -- oh and hey, sorry for your getting your continent wrong. That was inexcusable. And thanks for the label background info.<br /><br />*Ben did not actually include the link in his post, but here it is<br /><br />http://www.faroutrecordings.com/<br /><br />Check them out, they have more rare music to offer from the likes of Antonio Adolfo, Arthur Verocai, Celia Vaz, Azymuth, Milton Nascimento, and Marcus Valle -- not a bad roster at all!Flabbergasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683398623663516958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182535191259051530.post-9933509636399037862009-06-09T06:58:18.872-04:002009-06-09T06:58:18.872-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Flabbergasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683398623663516958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182535191259051530.post-88235578625696892942009-06-09T06:01:06.296-04:002009-06-09T06:01:06.296-04:00First up, can you take down the high quality link....First up, can you take down the high quality link. As a label we send out links to certain tracks from each release for blogs to post but if everyone posts the entire album we will go bust.<br /><br />Second, we are not US based. Far Out Recordings is the original UK based Brazilian record label, which is run out of London and set up by Joe Davis 15 years ago. Joe works extremely hard, flying out to Brazil a few times a year to uncover gems like this and record new material from artists who would otherwise not get heard. <br /><br />Your comments seem to suggest the label has somehow conned people in to listening to this album. We are not a money making major, we are a small independent with just two full-time staff and as you surely know the record industry is an extremely tough business right now and on this album we've been able to reach a slightly wider, crossover market and that's a rare thing. Perhaps the music isn't psych as you know it, but the whole atmosphere of the recording and some very tripped out moments certainly push it in that direction. Those words of Joyce sound beautiful in the broken translated text and I included them in the PR for that reason. From your own and the above comments this is obviously an album people love and for that reason you should support labels like ours. The post and responses are lovely, it's a shame you've taken advantage.<br /><br />Cancel the links and find our music at below URL.Ben Rimmerhttp://www.faroutrecordings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182535191259051530.post-47007366821328698652009-06-06T12:37:35.580-04:002009-06-06T12:37:35.580-04:00What a beautiful record!
