While I totally love Peter Kernel since day one, I still have mixed feelings for Barbara Lehnhoff and Aris Basetti's solo projects.
Still, new track I like the Noise - for the forthcoming new Camilla Sparksss record, ICU RUN The Movie - is totally growing on me: buzzing and pulsing, sexy and oblique. And DIY galore. Press play.

Manuel Bienvenu Oh Do We https://www.inkoma.com/k/4929

(9tx CD/DGTL/Viny disc - Microculture rec 2025)

Manuel Bienvenu, ten years after his latest Amanuma LP, and five since Glo, is back in full grace and elegance. 
Multi-instrumentalist from Paris, here backed by an international talented cast of collaborators, he shares a tracklist of new songs which read joyfulness through a whispered charm, in an amalgam of easy listening and creative dynamics.
Oh Do We is methodically beautiful, skillfully orchestrated. It's like the sound of a mosaic, or like making mosaically a music tune, such it's rich of details. Dark Polychrome speaks these figures. Dissipation would make the day of every Stereolab fan. This song is huge. Like being cradled on melancholy and sweetness through space-age pop arrangements (Minorton), watching an European film of the 60s. Armando Trovajoli anyone? Pure poetry and lyricism. That taste for beauty. Here Comes tingles with a broody romance tell, vibrating and enthralling, with Bienvenue's subtle voice embraced by female backing vocals and an emotional drum backbeat. Nureta Bara (濡れた バラ), 'soaked rose', sung in Japanese, lead female vocals by vibraphonist Tomoko Yoshino, words by Bienvenu's daughter Amande, is a high point among jazz and indie pop. Captivating and exciting.
An imaginative and melody-driven record indeed.

Boss DS-1 Nirvana: 1991 Kurt Cobain ''Peel Sessions'' Studio-used Guitar Effects Pedal https://www.inkoma.com/k/4928

How to, stop using it wrong!

Okay, I bought my Boss DS-1 in the 90s, I had no clue this was part of Kurt Cobain's iconic guitar rig. Early days talking. I bought it so far because.. it was cheap! And solid. Then, after I discovered My Bloody Valentine, I trashed mine, I apologized to my Jazzmaster, and I stopped using any fuzz or distortion pedal for years. So, only in my 40s, I understand today I was using it wrong. 
Cobain's DS-1 pedal used on 1991 Peel Sessions got sold on auction for $75k, not bad (ps that session featured my favorite version of Endless, Nameless so far).


For sure, it did better than that red taped DS-1 used on Club Babyhead gig in Providence, Rhode Island, on September 25, 1991, $9k only.



And some try to sell 1986 japanese version for over 280 bucks. That stupid, but, be my guest.. should I sell mine as well? 
On the contrary, I might point some money on Frankestein modded versions like this one.



So, I was doing it wrong, some say. Of course DS-1 is not a magic wand. Anyway:
