The NaC, a mysterious and surprising music project arising from English countryside, has beautifully constructed a musical parasol with this new album -- not just a traditional sunshade, but a metaphorical shield ("para" in Latin) against visual dischord, noise, the ultra-sonic spectrum, and generally all things unwanted. Parasol, composed by Miles Newbold -- one of the most unique and fascinating figures in the contemporary neo-library psychedelic jazz fusion scene -- was recorded in rural Derbyshire, nestled between hills and trees. The result is unmistakably singular, carrying The Natural Yogurt Band's wild yet perfectly balanced signature sound: raw-edged compositions, solid but fragile textures, and heavy drum work by Tom Dempsey. All of it is framed by Newbold's exceptional and uncompromising production style, which functions, fittingly, as a parasol -- a protective barrier against the modern world's relentless disturbances. Sonor Music Editions beautifully bridges the gap between the past and present, with this album, by featuring an original painting by Italian artist Vivì as the cover art. Vivì is renowned for creating iconic covers for 1970s library releases such as Paolo Casa's Nature (Wild Cat -- WC 114), Movimenti (Full Records -- FRLP 5099), and Origini (Leo Records -- LR 21), and Domenico Guaccero's La Cattedrale del Benessere (Abramo Allione -- A.A. 1010), among others.

Limited gatefold 2x10" version. "Now-Again Records presents Tuck in With..., the follow-up album from the best band with the weirdest name. In 2009 Now-Again Records reissued the Natural Yogurt Band's first platter -- Away With Melancholy. In keeping with the rarity of the experimental records that inspired the Band, the original Jazzman Records issue of the album -- from just the year before -- had been limited to a run of 1000 pieces. Those records quickly disappeared and the Jazzman himself had no plans to offer another helping. The result? An audience searching for psychedelic 'music library' vibes from the golden era of the 60s and 70s meticulously recreated in the new millennium were left starved. Well, we fed 'em, and they asked for the next course. Two years later, the Band (really former Little Barrie drummer Wayne Fullwood and Miles Newbold) presents to you another platter of delights. With their sophomore album, Fullwood and Newbold serve up more of what made the Natural Yogurt Band's debut so special: quirky irreverence abounds, but the band has expanded their menu to include influences from around the globe."

"It didn't take much: Gerald 'Jazzman' Short signed a mysterious UK-based duo based on their brooding, beat-heavy, difficult-to-categorize demo, conveyed his signings love of Galt MacDermot, David Axelrod and Ennio Morricone's 60s and 70s masterpieces to Now-Again's Egon, and the duo hatched a plan for an expanded North American issue of what had already been hailed as a fine release in keeping with the best 'library music' issues of the same era. By 'library music,' we're referring, of course, to the production library albums from cult labels like KPM, Dewolfe, Southern, Peer and other imprints whose sole purpose seemed to be supplying talented musicians with a blank disc which they could then inscribe with sounds of their liking. It's taken well over a year, in which time the NYB's album has gone out of print as Jazzman's limited run was never repressed. This version comes expanded with three bonus tracks never before issued and comes packaged in a gatefold, thick cardboard 'paste-on' silver foil jacket. This North American version is also limited to 1,000 pieces - once they're gone, they're gone."
