Most people don't realize that Recifé, Brazil had a burgeoning psych under-ground back in the '70s. Satwa and Lailson de Holanda were at the center of the scene and thanks to Time-Lag, have been resurrected from the clouds of obscurity. Satwa was a duo consisting of de Holanda and his friend and partiner-in-crime, Lula. The duo kept their instrumentation simple, but the sounds and sentiment produced were nothing short of extraordinary. There one and only album, recorded in 1973, was pulled of the trash heap from Nemo at Time-Lag, put onto vinyl and CD and distributed all over the globe. It doesn't get much better than this.

On first glance the 7” seems to be the antithesis of noise. It is only possible to fit a seven minute song on each side and maintain some level of listenable volume. In the 50s and beyond it was used by record companies to send the single to radio station before the album was released and then it was in jukeboxes across the nation. I cannot think of more than 5 experimental music 7”s that were merely a ‘single’ and I’ve for sure never come across a Merzbow jam in a jukebox(but then again I don’t see many operable jukeboxes around either). It is a truly interesting experiment for a modern noise musician normally crafting 15-infinity minute long tracks to be confined to 2 sides of 7” vinyl, one that when done correctly provides a succinct and truly wonderful piece of music. .. feature :: by Mike Pollard
