The Apers - Teenage Drama Every Kid Will Understand (2000) 320


The Apers 10" debut release on Stardumb records sounds like Queers by way of Screeching Weasel, with just a touch of the Ramones, all drenched in sugar, and done up in classic, three-chord fashion tunes. Hailing from Rotterdam, The Apers are part of the Dutch powerpop scene together with The Travoltas, De Kik and Mark and the Spies to name but a few.

Priors - New Pleasure (2018) 320

Hailing from Montreal, Priors furiously scrunches together gloriously abrasive and obnoxious garage punk gems, bouncing around the nervously jacked up snare drum beats and gloriously unmelodic melodies, lacerating fuzz riffs, maniacal snare drum abuse, skittish analog shivers, and savagely scared shouting that's sometimes double-tracked into microchip-loose robot nervousness. On Slovenly.

The Peacers - Blexxed Rec (2021) 320

 




SAN FRAN’S Sic Alps, living guitar legends, were one of those bands which, with the amount of the talent in its ranks, could only burn bright and, like an unstable isotope, emit members to spin off into other musical pursuits, eventually to transform itself in a musical half-life.


Tim Hellman went into the ranks of Thee Oh Sees; Mike Donovan was joined by still other members of John Dwyer’s psych voyagers in The Peacers and Ty Segall also initially stepped forward from the one outfit into the other before himself spinning out into other aural worlds.

Whatcha got? A great little garage rock record, is what. One foot in a California garage, fiddling with the fuzz pedals; another gazing across the ocean to Swingin’ London town, taking in folkiness, powerpop, mod and freakbeat touches. A great record for a dusk motorway, this; yeah, a great little record. Released on Drag City.

👽 Gaudi 👽 Jazz Gone Dub 2025 320 👽



With the above link you can see the tracks and take a listen. 

Gaudi’s Jazz Gone Dub is a masterclass in genre fusion, seamlessly blending the improvisational essence of jazz with the heavy atmospheric grooves of dub. Known for his eclectic approach to music production, Gaudi pushes the boundaries yet again, creating a sonic landscape that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly innovative.

Four years in the making, from the opening track it’s clear that Jazz Gone Dub is more than just a mashup of styles, it's a thoughtful exploration of the intersections between two rich musical traditions.

Gaudi’s multi-instrumental talents are on full display, and the presence of reggae royalty is palpable, courtesy of rootsy melodies from David Hinds (Steel Pulse), Jah Wobble’s iconic bass grooves, Ernest Ranglin’s intricate guitar lines and Sly & Robbie’s rhythmic genius.

Add Colin Edwin of Porcupine Tree, Sardinia’s Train to Roots band, Manu Chao collaborator Roy Paci, veteran guitarist Marcus Upbeat, Mr Woodnote and Tim Hutton’s brass work, Gavin Tate-Lovery’s sultry sax and flute, Horseman’s percussive flair plus Vlastur’s serious basslines, and the result is a rhythmic foundation that’s both solid and fluid, allowing the jazz elements to float freely above the dub undercurrents.

Despite this star-studded line-up, Gaudi remains the glue that holds this gem together: his production is meticulous yet organic, allowing each track to breathe and evolve naturally. The use of space, delays and reverb—a hallmark of dub music—is expertly handled, giving the album a dreamy, immersive quality. Tracks like Susceptible and Alabaster Moon showcase Gaudi’s ability to create mood and atmosphere without sacrificing melodic and rhythmic complexity.

In Jazz Gone Dub Gaudi has crafted an album that feels both timeless and forward-thinking, a celebration of musical synergy where the free-spirit of jazz meets the deep resonance of dub. Whether you’re a fan of either genre or simply appreciate masterful musicianship and innovative production, this album is a must-listen. 
It was released  on the5th Dec 2025

2000 - Thievery Corporation - Mirror Conspiracy



2000 - Thievery Corporation  - Mirror Conspiracy @320




Like their debut album, Thievery Corporation's second, The Mirror Conspiracy, is a pleasant album of sublime mid-tempo trip-hop, reminiscent of easy listening groove music, and continually referencing the breezier, atmospheric side of Brazilian, Jamaican, French, and Indian forms. The nocturnal dub-poetry of "Treasures" sets a tone for the bruising basslines and echoey keys throughout the album, and "Lebanese Blonde" is another early highlight, with the graceful vocalese of Pam Bricker framing live sitar by Rob Myers and a Jamaican-style horn section. Brazil represents with a triple-shot of "Air Batucada," "So Com Voce" (with vocals from Bebel Gilberto), and "Samba Tranquille." French chanteuse Lou Lou adds a bit of downtempo continental flair on "Le Monde" and "Shadows of Ourselves," and Thievery Corporation even samples Ella Fitzgerald on the ambient-jungle closer "Tomorrow." As on their first LP, Garza and Hilton occasionally appear satisfied to just push a few grooves and reference their favorite styles of music over the top -- at the expense of any new ideas -- but The Mirror Conspiracy is excellently produced and almost as stylish as the duo's swinging suits on the cover.

👽Help for the Hidden Links on my posts👽

 


Well this has got a lot of you beat, hidden means hidden, on the 4 Cul de Sac posts, each link have been found only a couple of times. I could just add the link in the comments on these posts. But no what I'll do is say where the links are and on future posts you will have an idea where to look on the posts for the link. 6 people found the hidden link on the Cuddly Toys Post. But will add the location in the comments on this post as well. 

They are not hidden on images or punctuation mark or letters, look at the gaps, between punctuation and letters and you will find them. Well the King Tubby one is as it happens. But all the rest are on gaps between words. 

It's pointless for me to take the time to post just for a couple of downloads per post. But the funny thing is the King Tubby post has 22 downloads (so many have found the link), and I know if I had posted the link for this in the comments there would have been 50+ downloads, go figure!!

So I won't tell you where the link is on that post, look on the Cul de Sac posts once I disclose the where abouts of the links, it will give you an idea where to look in the future. 

Sorry but for now the hidden links are going to stay!! Stops the grabbers. If they work at it they are welcome to the link.

Radioactivity - Silent Kill (2015) 320


Radioactivity’s second album, Silent Kill, (Dirtnap Records) is brilliant, and it’s painfully obvious in an earth-shattering, orgasmic-like way 50 seconds into the first track,“Battered.”

The quartet is comprised of veteran frontman and chief songwriter Jeff Burke (The Marked Men, The Reds, The Potential Johns) backed by Marked Men buddy Mark Ryan and two-thirds of another Dirtnap favorite, Bad Sports (Daniel Fried and Gregory Rutherford).

My last 3 posts on Vibes (Please read if you wish to continue downloading what I share)

 


Well on my last 3 posts, King Tubby and the two albums by Cul de Sac, the link isn't in the comments.

The download link is hidden on the posts, so you will need to look for it. many blogs were like this back in the day. 

Well it makes it more entertaining to try and discover the link, I did say I was going to experiment with how I made my posts, in the future. I tried asking you to request the link, I was looking for 10 requests as a minimum and received 6, I shared the link for this post yesterday, Gaudi, and it's been downloaded 24 times, 4 times the requests for it. 

The other option is I password protect each post, with a unique password, which is more work, so I thought ok put the link hidden on the posts, and you can look for it. 

The Home made Comp's will still have the link in the comments, but from now on all links for albums on my posts will be hidden somewhere on the post, you just have to look. 

The link for the King Tubby post is interesting to say the least 6 views and 12 downloads, so someone out there is sharing my links some where or emailing them to others. If this trend continues then not only will the link be hidden but passwords protection will be added to all my posts. Or I turn it private or walk away and close Vibes down.
