In December 1985 Jonas Hellborg went to New York to record Axis. Through Bill Laswell he had met keyboardist Bernie Worrell, singer Bernard Fowler, and drummer Anton Fier. The basic tracks were cut at Electric Lady, the studio Jimi Hendrix built for himself, and overdubs were done at RPM, also in New York. In addition to the three musicians mentioned, Hellborg's fellow Mahavishnu members, Mitch Forman and Danny Gottlieb both helped on a track each. The tapes were then brought back to Sweden and mixed at the DEM studio in Lund. After the record was released in Europe, Hellborg toured with Bernard Fowler and two Swedish musicians and made a series of television shows in Germany and Scandinavia.

A Pale Blue Dot
Red Snapper

Formats:
LCD72 [CD]
20/10/2008

Once again back…Red Snapper return from the outer reaches to bring you six brand new tracks and once again they are a rocking 3 piece with firing saxophone. And once again it’s impossible to define the sound they make…afro jazz, krautrock, rockabilly, hip hop and funk all bubble in their dub melting pot.

The album was recorded live in concert with Darius Kedros on mixing /dub duty and live in the studio with Tim Holmes of Death In Vegas.New sax (and clarinet) man Tom Challenger brings back the edge to make these recordings truly sizzle. Anyone who has caught them live will know what a unique and powerful live band they are. A Pale Blue Dot is both document and mission statement. The album also features radical new re-interpretations of 2 of the tracks, one apiece by Kelpe and Subway, stretching the future jazz vibe riiiiight out. So there you have it an album that feels so good, so right, so now.

Vander Mill Hard Cherry Cider

Ladd's has been advertising Michigan Hard Ciders for a few weeks now, so I thought I'd check it out. I was surprised to find a Cider from as close as Spring Lake Michigan. I'll have to stop by next time I'm in the area! The website is: http://vandermill.com/

Fast One by Paul Cain

Originally written in 1931-1932 as a series of short stories for Black Mask magazine, Fast One became the basis for Paul Cain's one and only full-length novel. (A collection of short stories Seven Slayers also exists.)

I've done a little research into speed-reading, which is probably evident from the number of books I read. Some books lend themselves to this approach, and Fast One is a book I was able to thoroughly enjoy and follow by flipping through the pages as fast as my brain could register what was going on. In fact, I'm guessing this is probably the preferred way to read this book. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

This and Seven Slayers can both be found for free download in several formats at the following website:
