HUONG THANH — Mangustao (2004) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

Vietnamese vocalist Huong Thanh rose to fame in the new millennium as her nation's premier jazz talent. Thanh was brought up in a musical household steeped in the cai luong tradition. Mentored by her father, famed vocalist Huu Phuoc, Thanh was trained in the complex musical style blending the demands of a complex tonal language with operatic expression and storytelling. She studied formally in Saigon, beginning at age 13. By 16 Thanh had taken the stage in her first of many cai luong productions. Touring throughout Europe matured Thanh as a musician, and offered opportunities to be exposed to different musical styles. Thanh often returned to Vietnam, recording with some of the nation's most renowned talents. On one such trip she was introduced to guitarist Nguyên Lê, who introduced her to the world of jazz. Thanh joined Lê's Tales from Vietnam project, which toured Europe extensively and released highly acclaimed material exploring traditional Vietnamese music with jazz sensibilities. In 1999 Thanh applied the valuable experience she gained with Tales from Vietnam to her solo career. Moon and Wind, her debut disc, was released by the ACT label that year, to rave reviews. With each release that followed, Thanh earned a larger audience for her special brand of jazz. Following Dragonfly (2001) and Mangustao (2004), Huong Thanh's fourth disc, Fragile Beauty, was released in 2007. The album peaked at number two on World Music Charts Europe, generating Thanh's strongest sales yet. Evan C. Gutierrez

JUN MIYAKE = 三宅 純 — Lost Memory Theatre · Act 1 (2013) FLAC (tracks), lossless

“There are memories that strongly attached to specific places.
Like the house you lived in, a cafe you spent every morning, a club you've met your ex-lover(s), and etc. How do we feel when the place is suddenly disappeared?
It's not only a loss of the place, it's loss of sense and memories.
In Japan, we periodically knock down all the buildings, even historical architects,to withstand huge earthquakes. Where does all our memories go that attached to the places?
What if there is a theater where all the lost memories flow in.
Like the replicants in Blade Runner who eager to get their own memories (back?), the people who are obsessed with lost memories gather there and get fake experience of the memories.
What kind of music can be played there? Not exactly the kind of music from the past, but it can be the kind of music to awaken lost memories. I thought of this for long time, and I feel it is right time to realize this theater, since so many things and memories are lost in Japan with the Tsunami." Jun Miyake
