French multi-instrumentalist and electronic dabbler Ariel Kalma has been turning our heads and reaching our ears ever since Rvng Intl. put out a series of compilations by him over the past two years. This time, we have a series of 'Strange Mixes & Other Goodies' from the year 1978, the peak of Kalma's creativity and productivity, and generally a fine year for experimental jazz music. Any B-side lover and crate digger will surely lap this up for "Drum Machinery" alone, a Roland-made tune that could have easily been made yesterday by a techno or leftfield artist but, in essence, all of these thirteen songs are pretty mindblowing. "Kosmik Traffic" is pure field recording noise and didgeridoos, "Oui Ah" is a jarring ambient/drone masterpiece, "Delirium Grm" must have sounded like alien music back in 1978, and we have to say that everything else on this album is just as great and cutting-edge. What a sublime piece of long-lost music, and how perfectly it fits in with today's multi-palleted audience!
