First time release on vinyl of the breathtaking songs Patty Waters recorded with engineer Steve Atkins in 1970 at the Coast Recordings studio, together with the unreleased single My One And Only Love and a recorded live session at Lone Mountain College in 1974.
The album You Loved Me is the missing link between her two groundbreaking pioneering and highly acclaimed ESP-Disk records from the end of the 60’s and her post 90’s releases. The missing link between the radical ingenue of the 1960s and her late 90’s songs wherein she expressed the resolution of all of her life’s moments through mature readings of traditional songs and jazz standards. This collection aims to provide that missing link and to finally complete the picture of her storied recording career.
In what would have been her third LP, the You Loved Me album serves as the inverse of Patty’s debut. While her debut Sings concerned itself with themes of heartbreak, loneliness and yearning, there’s an abundance of love, joy and togetherness on You Loved Me.
Or in Patty’s own words:
“I was a young girl alone at age 19, I was longing for love and dreaming of how wonderful love could be”
On You Loved Me Patty Waters velvet voice captures this longing for love, straight from her soul to your heart. Crossing the border of the avant garde jazz entering a strange zone, somewhere between spiritual jazz, early folk vibes on the songs on the A-sides while the 14 minute composition ‘Touched By Rodin In A Paris Museum’ on the B-side is (dixit David Stubbs for Uncut in 2004) a brilliant extended showcase for the uneasy Cageian minimalism of her piano playing.
You Loved Me proves also again why Albert Ayler introduced her to ESP-Disk president Bernard Stollman, impressed Miles Davis, Pharoah Sanders and Henry Grimes with her concerts and can count Patti Smith and Yoko Ono (to name a few) amongst her fans.

A real slice of UK ambient-house history surfaces for the first time.
Yet another nugget on Musique Pour La Danse, ‘Live at The Brain 1990’ pays witness to two of the UK’s leading acid house pioneers steering the sound into new horizons to a crowd of some 50 heads at a gallery-cum-club-cum-bar owned by Sean McLusky and Mark Wigan. The hour long flow of glistening pulses and polychromatic melody is testament to the energy and innovative tekkerz of its makers as much as the UK zeitgeist in 1990, pairing sampled and sequenced beats with live instrumental overdubs and FX in a fresh and driving style that was spawned for the rave and would would go on to inform so much electronic music in its wake.
As the shaman of ambient music, DJ/producer/critic/writer Mixmaster Morris surely needs little introduction, while his accomplice Paul Chivers aka Ramjac Corporation is legendary for his early releases with Irdial and for playing at many key events from the Summer of Love in 1988 and beyond (Sunrise, Energy and Back To The Future), plus touring with Orbital, The Shaman and Morris’ Irresistible Force. Both were regulars at The Brain and this LP offers historic documentation of their shared vision for electronic music, marrying rolling drum machines with computer-chopped breaks, diced samples, and in-the-moment improvisation in a way that clearly marks the point where acid house and rave’s Chicago, Detroit and NYC inspirations gave way to a flux on influence from psychedelic rock, new age, and dub, paralleling efforts of Fabio & Grooverider at Rage, but with their own, lusher flex.

Sdban Records will reissue several installments of the legendary library series ‘A Special Radio ~ TV Record’ on vinyl. These were originally released on Belgian imprint ‘Selection Records’ between 1975 and 1981. N°15 in the series was the Belgian milestone jazz album ‘Solis Lacus’ released in 1975
Solis Lacus is the cult group around renowned Belgian pianist Michel Herr, a pioneer of electric jazz in the 70’s in Europe. Michel Herr rose to international prominence after winning the first prize at the jazz festival in Loosdrecht, The Netherlands, in 1971. He accompanied many European and American jazz stars on foreign tours and ran the group Jazztrack with saxophone player Wolfgang Engstfeld in Germany. At the same time, he set up his own band Solis Lacus, which consisted of Belgian musicians who had all made a name for themselves on the national jazz scene of the 1960s including Richard Rousselet and Bruno Castelluci both from Placebo. Inspired by the reigning jazz-rock sound of the day, Herr expanded his musical vocabulary and started to play electronic keyboards. Solis Lacus recorded its only album in the course of 1974 and 1975, before the members of the group headed in their own direction. These were originally released on Belgian imprint ‘Selection Records’ between 1975 and 1981. N°15 in the series was the Belgian milestone jazz album ‘Solis Lacus’ released in 1975.
Solis Lacus is considered the European counterpart to sound experimentations of Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters, or the best albums of the CTI label such as Freddie Hubbard. This is groundbreaking, experimental and funky jazz fusion!

Ambient techno classic Soundtrack [313], the debut album from The Detroit Escalator Company, AKA Neil Ollivierra, has been reissued.
25 years following its original 1996 release, the record has been remastered using the half-speed mastering process, a slowed-down cutting process that improves the lathe’s ability to properly cut high-frequency material. Available now on Swiss label Musique Pour La Danse, the record’s digital and limited-edition vinyl release come with four bonus tracks, while the limited-edition CD arrives with six additional tracks.
Ollivierra is a Detroit-born producer who came out of the city’s early dance music scene. Soundtrack [313] had languished in relative obscurity, praised by Tim Barr’s Rough Guide to Techno as “one of techno’s most overlooked classics…a note-perfect vision of late night Detroit and a compelling combination of warm beauty and desolate force.”

Musique Pour La Danse will release Soundtrack [313] on February 18, 2022
On her debut album Belgian-based multi-instrumentalist Ann Eysermans explores the possibilities of the train as a music instrument.
For the compositions Prelude and Fuga For Four Diesel Locomotives And Harp Eysermans had the chance to capture the sounds of diesel locomotives (HD 51, 54, 55 and 60) of the Belgian Train World Heritage collection. Microscopic hissing vibrations of steaming engines slowly entwine and resonate with fragile harp playing, getting on track for an unconventional sonic rail journey. A melancholic odyssey of sound in motion: Ann Eysermans let the sparkling harp notes dissolve into the tones of pulsating train wheels.
On the B-side she bends her soft singing voice around deranged horn melodies in Le Départ, connect delayed organ harmonies in De Vertraging with the dying frequencies of a trembling and humming locomotive from the 60’s, On the key track For Trainspotters Only Ann Eysermans assembles a hauntingly piece of musique concrete with clanging chimes, broken music boxes, ghostly whispers and throbbing machine room sounds. A lonely barking dog and the last train announcement on a desolate platform in Chorale also mark the last part of this spellbinding record.
On For Trainspotters Only Ann Eysermans takes you on an immersive and meandering ride, connecting the dots between the free spirit of Alice Coltrane, the orchestrated field recording compositions of Chris Watson and the magic realism of Claire Rousay
Cortizona will release For Trainspotters only on January 28th, 2022
