"Following the steps of a rich algerian composer tradition, Ahmed Malek (1931-2008) borned of both arabic & berberian origin, gained a huge notoriety composing scores for some of the most emblematic movies of the post colonialism era: Omar Gatlato, Inspector Tahar's Holiday, Mughamarat Batal... The "Algerian Maestro" as his following used to call him, remains a major personnality not only for his prominent 70's recordings, but also for embodying a certain vision of modern Algeria. From dreamy maghrebic pop instrumental to obscure desert folk, Ahmed Malek's works for films showcases a dive into a fascinating yet haunting music.
In 1977 the "Radiodiffusion-télévision algérienne" (RTA) offered the composer the opportunitty to compiled some of his best efforts on a scarce 2xLP record which today remains nearly impossible to trace down. We're proud to present you some of the finest tracks from the record along with rare material from the family archives. More than any, those picturehouse recordings selected here, are borrowing of mystery, hypnotism & blend of a beautiful melancolia."

VA "Play That Beat Mr. Raja #1"
Selected Oddities From The Tamil Film Industry (1984 - 1991)
CART003 - LP, vinyl only, limited copies
Coming with an inside colour cover (notes & detailed infos)
Artwork: Moolinex
"Play That Beat Mr. Raja" is the very first compilation dedicated to Tamil recordings in the West. It explores the wild shores of these late 80's Kollywood music productions. With an avalanche of cinematic strings, analog synths, mind-blowing vocal punchlines and drumkit earthquakes mixed with folkloric percussive elements, it reveals the audacity of composers such as Ilayaraja, Shankar Ganesh or Hamsalekha.
Covering an impressive range of styles, it features Kamal Hassan's vocoded rap "Vikram Vikram", Shankar Ganesh's disco stomper "Coca Cola", and the irresistible bontempi instrumental "Love Theme", among many other hits. Straddling boundaries between traditional southern indian identity and digested western influences, these selected oddities remain a lesson of creativity and freedom in the world of soundtracks, with their stunning incorporation of the most typical of 80s tools in a classical context, and a constant love for daring structures and demented arrangements.
