한국 소울, 훵크와 레어그루브 1973~1980 Vol. 1 Funky Coup: Korean Soul, Funk & Rare Groove Nuggets 1973~1980 Vol.1 (LP reissue 2020) "This compilation brings together, for the first time, the hottest soul/funk gems that moved the clubs and dancefloors during one of the darkest chapters of Korea’s modern history under the Yushin dictatorship. It serves as a perfect guide to proto K-pop, featuring various hits from era-defining divas, relatively less-known rare tracks, as well as two previ

"This film music album is a light but entertaining album with studio band based arrangements, and a bit Italian style at times. There has been good attention to add several layers of arrangements with relaxed picking guitars, organ, electric guitars, analogue keyboards and organ, reed instruments and sax and a breathy female vocalist, who besides a few real songs sings a nanana song on one track. Here and there are funky elements too, including some brass. (One of the tracks

This is a collection of early Korean records, some of which shows some unique and some bizarre material. This collection dates from 1925-1933 in correct order of dates. * The first track for instance is like a folk song with triple or so singers singing in some specific style with an ethnic flavour which has similarities to characteristics from somewhere else to compare with, possibly like a certain African village singing for instance. * The next two tracks show piano and vo

V.A.: 유성기로 듣던 북(北)으로 간 가수들 / Singers that went to North Korea All tracks on this compilation and all artists were reviewed on their separate pages. If I understood well enough, all of these artists had some connection of a sort with North Korea where they were banned or to which they fled after that they were considered either a bit too pro-Japanese in the eyes of the liberated people who were going to rebuild its nation or were also mostly especially too communist-minded to

MRC 대중가요 LP가이드북 AUDOPHILE 오디오파일 CD (1962-1986) (CD 2016) An essential 14-track compilation of songs from the acoustic singers period, as well some of the psych/prog albums important in Korea. I assume this oversized digipack CD also refers to the book listed underneath. Most of the records had known reissues at some stage, several of them are already no longer found. It is an essential starter for Western collectors. Listed songs: 1 조용필 / Cho yong Pil - 돌아와요 부산항에 / Come Back

I very much enjoyed and spent a lot of time with this luxury edition of 5 CD’s with mini-book (notes in Korean only), showing an overview of some of the artists on the Korean Domido Label (see links in the tracklist below). I have also spent a lot of time looking for the original covers over the artists involved, but also included some later albums of these artists (and some YouTube tracks) so that you get an idea who exactly was involved and how they look. I still realised t

V.A.: 유성기로 듣던 연극모음 (1930년대) / The collection of plays I heard during the Meteor period (1930s) 1997.03 I never bothered to review this 3CD which collected theatre works that is dominating with words over music, something that annoyed me at first just a bit too much because I don't understand a word of Korean. After having listened to the Movie Soundtrack of Mokpo I gave it another close listen. I knew there were fragments that still made it worth to make them like a musical r

유성기로 듣던 여명의 한국동요 / Korean Song of Dawn (reissue: 1993.10) This is a series of children songs being recorded during Japan’s occupation period. I am not sure if it was part of an original series. The songs fit very well together. More or less I recognise two possible categories. One sort of approach is led by voice with piano only. This voice is almost classical in nature, but then with a rather grotesque voice colour to it. After the development of the song there are responses
