From the most abrasive to the unbelievably sublime, Hope Valley Cement Works attempts to curate a selection of experimental music and sounds, from collected field recordings and sound collages, to serene ambience, impressive drone and the odd deconstructed club track. A series by Kris Cooper.

In this episode, we continue to explore the diversity of Soviet jazz released on the major label and monopolist Melodia.

Here we focus is mainly on its lighter genres – electro-jazz, jazz-funk, jazz-mugham, jazz-choral, folk-jazz from the Baltic States, the Lesser Caucasus, Central Asia and Russia. To this music it is really pleasant to float through the spring city – so many melodies and much relaxation in it!

However, at the end of the show the mood changes somewhat and ends with bold experiments in the field of free jazz with a glance at the academic avant-garde – it is a rain cloud on the horizon, which takes your breath away with its elegance, impetuosity and pomposity. Happy long-awaited spring!

Uzbekistan-based DJ and boss of the experimental TOPOT label Eugenie Galochkin presents rare vinyl rips from the Soviet Melodia label.

The series will explore how national and cultural characteristics are embedded in musical language.
