Sugai Ken's UkabazUmorezU Turns (almost) Six

Released (almost) six years ago, Sugai Ken’s UkabazUmorezU = 不浮不埋. A cerebral ceremony of traditional Japanese music’s communion with environment, Ken conjured an experience unlike any previous entry in the RVNG catalog and one that truly pushed the label’s sound forward. UkabazUmorezU roughly translates to “slow and steady wins the race,” which seems to be Ken’s modus operandi for delivering his RVNG follow up 😉 😉 😉 (<3 you, Ken!)

Pauline Ann Strom "Cult of Isis"

“Cult of Isis” was originally released in 1982 on Pauline Anna Strom’s debut album Trans-Millennia Consort. For our forthcoming collection Echoes, Spaces, Lines, Pauline’s first three albums (and an unheard fourth from the era) were remixed under her guidance by Marta Salogni from the original tapes and remastered by Anne Taegert at Dubplates & Mastering. Close your eyes and listen wherever you prefer.

Paula is pictured above with one of the many lizards that she cohabited with in her San Francisco studio apartment. This one is a giant monitor lizard. 🦎
