Over many backbreaking and expensive months in 2020, the beating heart of ATA records was stripped, monolithic bits of kit were pulled from dusty corners and into the light to learn their fate: resettlement in the new ATA or sold off, to pay for the studio's rejuvenation. Tough decisions were made but the end product was worth the sacrifice. ATA now has natural light, some very swish carpeting, new soundproofing and even a sofa, surprisingly tasteful, in the, now, spacious, control room. No more sitting on rickety stools and balancing a coffee on your knee. Once the studio began to take shape again and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeil Innes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was finally able to take a breath he began rooting through the label's archives, pulling out reels that had been propping up tables, holding open doors and generally lurking in nooks and crannies for years. It didn't take long for Neil to realize how special some of these snippets of the past were, especially some of the vocal outings with his former \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLove of the Brave\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e band mate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFuzzy Jones\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. As he wandered down memory lane he started to pair some of these rediscovered treasures with tracks by more recent artists, such as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Magnificent Tape Band\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Sorcerers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and the compilation began to take shape.

Best way to describe Ghostlife is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKyser Soze\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e with a keyboard, minus all the criminal bits, an anonymous tactician with an ear for a woozy beat. He may indeed have been the source of the above tall tales, writer of his own fiction if you will. It is perhaps then fitting that he should be pulled towards another artist who spent much of his career sowing the seeds of doubt in regard to his own identity, the much-lamented \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMF Doom\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Respected rapper Doom not only hid his face from the public but was also well known for releasing music under a raft of different monikers adding further mystery to a canon of work that had reached a legendary status before his untimely death in 2020, and after. In this instance it is Doom's collaborations with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMadlib\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, resulting in the 2004 ground-breaking album \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eMadvillainy\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, that got Ghostlife's remix reflex twitching. He decided to further ramp up the subterfuge (this is dream within a dream stuff) and remix some choice cuts from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbstract Orchestra\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's interpretation of the record. For those who don't know, Abstract Orchestra, led by saxophonist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRob Mitchell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, are based on the classic jazz big band instrumentation of saxes, trumpets and trombones and features the cream of the north's jazz scene. When you dig into \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eMadvillainy\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e you will note many of the samples (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSun Ra\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBill Evans\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFreddie Hubbard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e amongst others) lent a jazz-oriented feel to the record, an ethos that, in turn, lent itself perfectly to the deconstruction and re-imagining by Abstract. Ghostlife wanted peel back the next layer of this onion and, inspired by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaytranada\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's organic synthesis of the hip hop aesthetic among slightly higher BPMs, Ghostlife began to pick tracks from Abstract's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eMadvillain 1\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003e2\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to play around with. This was all done above board of course. He made contact with Rob who was so intrigued by what Ghostlife sketched out that handed over the original stems with his blessing. All in all Ghostlife remixed ten tracks, including \"Raid,\" \"Fancy Clown,\" \"Curls,\" and \"Figaro,\" and has forgone the big arrangements. Rather he has coaxed out hooks, and sampled small sections, dipping into Abstract Orchestra's work with the steady precision of a watchmaker to create something new and exciting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forced Exposure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53443211362583,"sku":"ATA 029LP","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/6983\/6055\/files\/MadvillainRemixes.jpg?v=1776750716"},{"product_id":"library-v4-lp","title":"The Library Archive: Vol. 4","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eATA Records presents the fourth volume of their regular soundtrack series, the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Archives\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

A real highlight is \"Runaway\", and not just because it sounds like nothing else on the record. Here are drums and percussion in that tight funk style that just cries out to be sampled. \"Percussion Power\" is an extended, near three-minute suite of funky drum solo after funky drum solo that just aches to be looped. \"Shivers\" is a tense, apprehensive underscore with shock stabs that builds to a climax whilst \"Drums On Parade\" is a showcase of head-nod drums and cymbals in march time. \"Samba Street\" is riotous, authentically drawn samba that sounds like it's been beamed straight in from Rio in full flow. The simple, innocent \"Child's Themes\" (all five of them) provide a nice, sweet respite from all the funk. Nursery sounds tinged with only a touch of melancholy. The gentle marimba solo of \"Tropical Peace\" only adds to the sense of serenity we get from the relatively calm second side.

Very much in conversation with Quincy's rendition of \"Hummin'\", the loping, rumbling bassline and sweet electric piano over clean, crisp drums making it one of those tracks that sounds like a hip-hop beat 20 years ahead of time. \"Bass In Action N°2\" features Tonio's own vocal scat performance. Antonio \"Tonio\" Rubio Garcia got his start playing the double bass in jazz clubs. In 1962, Tonio joined the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGolden Stars\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the first backing band of France's teenage idol \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohnny Hallyday\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

It's one of the most outstanding -- yet puzzlingly slept-on -- releases in the library's catalogue. Forget library, this is basically a sublime, straight-up moody jazz record with monster breaks. It's brimming with sensational psychedelic\/jazzy bass-heavy moments throughout. \"Indian Pop Bass\" contains a deep, abstract breakbeat that intersects with a bassline that loops as if it sinks into the swaying, heavy, slow drums. The mysterious, deliberate \"Prélude À Une Angoisse\" is an eerie, magical number with ace effects whilst \"Patio Bass\" is a breezy deep jazz knockout with fantastic drums and a sashaying melody. \"Tension Nerveuse\" creates an atmosphere that's exactly as the title suggests, full of genuine suspense, rumbling percussion and deep drama jazz. \"Amour, Délices Et Contrebasse\" is a touch lightweight so you're advised to head to the much darker, peculiar funk of \"Percussion Bass\", bursting with imaginative sounds and effects. \"Obsession Diabolique\" closes out the A Side, with a funky walking bassline and sparkling percussion battling against droning strings to create a uniquely unsettling, beatless track. Enlivening the B-Side immediately is the fantastic, propulsive funky-jazz of \"Les Copains De La Basse\". \"Doucement La Basse\" is largely forgettable but \"Bass Session\" is a blazing psych-jazz-rock burner. \"Bass After Love\" is devastatingly psychy, funky and unique. \"Ballade Pour Une Basse\" is a classic funky French jazz piece with an infectious bass melody that seems to anticipate \"Before The Night Is Over\", the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoe Simon\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e track that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutkast\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e sampled for \"So Fresh, So Clean\".

From the same pair, \"Forbidden Fruit\" is, again, string-drenched but the strings are more insistent, stabbing even, and, with drums and Blaxploitation guitars high up in the mix, it's definitely a funkier proposition. \"The Enchantress,\" again a Rees-Gold special, is a slower, groovy, synthy wonder. Closing out the A-Side, \"Phenomena\" is a mysterious gem, a Gold solo effort set at a breezier tempo with propulsive percussion and head nod, fast-paced breaks with ace keys.

Better yet, Richardson's gorgeous, beatless \"Analysis\" follows, and it's an orchestral beauty featuring cello, harps and woodwind. It's no exaggeration to describe this as transcendental.

So, beat-makers, get cracking. Born in 1949, Bastow was a Munich-based English songwriter and record producer. Originally working as a guitarist and pianist in dance bands around his home county of Yorkshire, he moved to London in the early 1970s and then Munich in around 1976. He was one of the main architects of the Munich disco sound of electronic innovator Giorgio Moroder and also released heaps of killer library records for legendary labels like Bruton, Impress, JW Music Library and the Munich-based Sonoton between the 1970s-2000s. Bastow died tragically young, in Berlin, Germany on 16 March 2007, at the age of just 57. But he left behind a truly incredible electronic music legacy. He deserves to be much better known and this reissue should bring him to a fair few more ears.
