Mungolian Jetset - We Gave It All Away... Now We Are Taking It Back Smalltown Supersound
One of the pleasures of Madison Music Review for me is the exposure I get to new and different music.
Occasionally we even receive review copies of upcoming releases.
Of course, some albums we don't really care for, and some we think are good but not particularly compelling. But every so often we get a release that really lights us up. This is one of those.
I had not previously heard of Mungolian Jetset out of Norway. (Have you?) But I am currently obsessed with this album. Psychedelic dance grooves, with an amazing breadth of styles - world beats, techno, disco, and much more...
In this release, the Mungolian collective mixes their work, remixes, covers, collaborations and originals into two albums (each coming in at 59:15). Most of the tracks have been previously released (given away) on vinyl 12-inches or in some other form, and now they are taken back to be presented in "full Mungolian context."
"Defining a Mungolian Jetset remix is close to impossible, yet the beat is what immediately lets you know that you've arrived in the state of Mung. They probe the track carefully, and locate the Mungolian zone within it, before shaking it into a trance-like psychedelic wormhole that snakes through the souls of disco and bucket brigade dub."
We Gave It All Away ... Now We Are Taking It Back is scheduled to be released August 18, 2009.
