Golden Jooklo Age and Richard Youngs

These are two albums I managed to pick up last year that were ridiculously limited and really deserve having a few more people listening to them.


Golden Jooklo Age - Tropical Trips (Qbico & Troglosound - 2008)

This was limited to 125 vinyl copies on Qbico and 38 CDRs on Troglosound. This Italian collective have had a spate of limited releases over the past couple of years (most projects involving the word 'Jooklo') all of which are now rather expensive or impossibly hard to find. This is one of my favourites from 2008 and the CDR version linked to here comes with a 4th track the vinyl didn't include. A bit jazzy, a bit mental, 100% amazing.

Richard Youngs - Nerston Surface (No Fans - 2008)

I can't say my knowledge of Richard Youngs music is vast, and as a result when 'three headed star' (another 2008 release on No Fans limited to 50) arrived I was a little put off, but still decided to try this album. Fortunately it headed down a rather different route and is a lot more pleasing. Just two tracks of piano really showing off two different sides to his playing and both well executed.

How frustrating! Hope you manage to find a copy of it. I'm extremely jealous.

Thanks for the heads up. Can only afford one so decided to go for the Maurizio Abate. Should be great.

Have seen the box sets in the past and always wish to have £200 when they're released but I don't think I could pay that much no matter how fantastic they look.

Thanks a lot.

i luckily attended a neokarma jooklo experience concert last year and it has been a really overwhelming experience.

Not surprised at all. Would love to see them live at some point. It doesn't sound like they have any off nights.

No problem at all, it's a fantastic album that deserves to be heard by many more than 150 or so people.

Thanks for the link to the pictures, some great shots.
