HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS BJORK, BRANT - (BLACK/ORANGE) BOUGAINVILLEA SUITE
Once again Brant Bjork is back with a wonderful album called 'Bougainvillea Suite.' He's never missed a shot in the last 20 years. His discography is connected by an imaginary line which crosses different sounds and melodies, but always with the same attitude. In the background you can imagine the Mojave desert where everything started many years ago, but his last record sounds fresh as his debut 'Jalamanta!' Brant says about this album: "This is a bitter sweet record for me. So much change in my life. Some stuff more positive than others. But it's always a blessing to be able to make a record and get the music out and to the fans. This is the last record to be recorded in my Joshua Tree studio. I'm saying goodbye to an era and looking down the road toward new beginnings." 'Bougainvillea Suite' is composed by 8 songs. Produced by Yosef Sanborn and Brant Bjork. Recorded at The Rad Cabin, Joshua Tree, CA. Engineered and mixed by Yosef Sanborn. Limited to 250 copies on half/half black/orange/splatter vinyl. PSYCH/PROG/BLUES/FOLK

BLACK WIDOW FIAMMA DALLO SPIRITO - SABBA
Recorded in 1975 this is the ideal follow-up of 'Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus.' Fiamma Dallo Spirito was the lead vocalist on this Jacula album and Federico Bergamini wrote most of the music. Bergamini and Fiamma, together with some guest musicians, recorded 'Sabba' in 1975 which remained hidden for almost 50 years. Damnation, mystery and magic are the main themes of this concept album where the human being gets lost in the black hole of damnation searching desperately for salvation. The story should be written again... PSYCH/PROG/BLUES/FOLK

SVART GETSEMANE - VIIMAA
Getsemane plays old school Finnish progressive rock. Formed in Tampere-Ylöjärvi in 2009, they were originally a line-up for composing and playing live-music for Flamma fire theatre. After the shows they decided to continue as a band finding ever more polyrythmic and progressive ideas still drawing from the Kalevala mythos and eccentric psychedelic visions. Getsemane released their self-titled debut in 2015 nodding to the music of Haikara, Tabula Rasa and King Crimson. Best known for their dynamic live shows the group recorded 'Viimaa', full of unusual time signatures, meandering melodic lines and ethereal landscapes not forgetting 70's hard rock yet stubborn to their style.

MOI J'CONNAIS HUMAN EXPRESSION - LOVE AT A PSYCHEDELIC VELOCITY
Repress of the compilation originally released with Moi J'connais Records and Mississippi Records in 2013. Unbelievably great psychedelic garage rock from 1966-1968. Including songs written by Mars Bonfire, their material is up there with the 13th Floor Elevators, Love and the Seeds in quality, but with an outsider edge to it. Human Expression was a tough as nails deep heavy group who, in spite of releasing three cool singles, never got the exposure they deserved back in the day. A few songs leaked out on vinyl on psych comps ('Optical Sound', 'Love At Psychedelic Velocity' and 'Reading Your Will') but the rest has not been on vinyl until now. Beautiful singer/songwriter ballads and frantic rockers sit side by side, creating a truly great lost classic of the 1960's. PSYCH/PROG/BLUES/FOLK

This EP is a moody, thrilling journey based on the poem 'The Divine Comedy' where Dante Alighieri walks through hell, purgatory, and paradise to meet his deceased beloved Beatrix and find faith in God. A collaboration between three record labels (Lay Bare Recordings, Discos Macarras, and LaRubia Producciones), it is an introspective, diverse ride with hooks and ambience to spare.

EKTRO BAKER JA LEHTISALO - CROCODILE TEARS
Early in 2020 Lehtisalo and Baker began trading sounds over the internet - fragmentary keyboard licks and textural guitar riffs, retro electro beats and pulsing bass lines - slowly constructing them into songs that combined a sort of '80s new wave/AOR aesthetic with a heavy/noisy shoegaze/industrial sound. The end result was 'Crocodile Tears,' five catchily anthemic songs channeling the perhaps unlikely pairing of Godflesh and Jan Hammer, electronic pop and pretty melodies mixed with textural guitars and heavy metal riffs. Finnish multi-instrumentalist Jussi Lehtisalo is founder of the experimental rock band Circle, active since 1991. He also performs with Pharaoh Overlord, Steel Mammoth, and Aktor, to name some of his many projects, and has collaborated with Isis' Aaron Turner as Split Cranium. He has been running Ektro Records since the mid-1990s and with Circle has released albums on such labels as Southern Lord, Riot Season, No Quarter, and Hydrahead Records. Canadian multi-instrumentalist Aidan Baker performs solo and with various ensembles, most notably the ambient metal duo Nadja. He has toured and performed around the world and released numerous albums on such labels as Alien8 Recordings, Important Records, Hydrahead Records, Karlrecords, and Southern Lord.

SVART POHJONEN ALANKO - VOICE OF NORTHERN LOWLAND
Svart Records releases the result of Ismo Alango, Kimmo Pohjonen and sound designer Tuomas Norvio's collective shamanistic-electronic improvisation. The debut album of the band called Pohjonen Alanko is a 20-minute journey to the atavistic layers of the subconscious on the one hand, and towards postmodern electronic ecstasy on the other, entitled 'Northern Lowland'. The band's strongly visual sound image consists of sounds, melodies and rhythms created in a free emotional state. Different sounds produced by the human body, hypnotic hokemas and lyrical melodies meet modern technology and erupt as satanic rituals, rough dance music or even hymns. From time to time, this sonic landscape is also colored by traditional instruments, such as punk inspired electric guitar. PSYCH/PROG/BLUES/FOLK

VAN RECORDS KING DUDE - DEATH
Some words about 'Death': "I've always planned on ending King Dude with 'Death.' I started out writing and recording these songs in my bedroom with no intention of anyone other than my roommates hearing them. I certainly didn't plan on releasing ten albums. Shortly after my first the success of my two EPs I knew that King Dude had the potential to become a problem for me. I worried the meager success I was experiencing could end up luring me into the trap of making King Dude records for the rest of my life. So in order to avoid that fate I planned out the rest of every King Dude album from that point on, ultimately deciding that four of the records should work as companions pieces to one another. Those four albums are 'Love,' 'Fear,' 'Sex' and now finally 'Death.' So as you can clearly see I've already made up my mind in this matter. Ten years ago. And there's nothing I can do to change it without lying to myself about what my life is. 'Death' fulfills the pact I made with my former self and sets me free from acts of repetition and stagnation. It's a necessary, beautiful thing." FOLK/ACID/NEO/DARK FOLK

CHUSH SILL, JUDEE - BBC PARIS THEATRE, LONDON MARCH 23, 1972
A singer-songwriter who wrote for the Turtles, Sill -in her early 1970s heyday- was compared to Asylum label contemporaries like Joni Mitchell, though her music had stronger spiritual overtones. This nearly forgotten performance reveals a true talent that deserved so much more during her short lifetime. Judee Sill grew up in a very troubled home and came through it with some truly great music to tell so many stories that many of the more sentient listeners will appreciate. SIDE 1: 1.

LAY BARE AMBLERS - SHALLOW POOLS
The grit, the grime, the sweat on the walls, the blood on the instruments and callouses on the fingers and hands. Any rock & roll band that's put the valuable time into fleshing their sound and creating personal chemistry from the garage to the streets wears this badge with pride, and The Amblers have clearly walked this hallowed path. This is a band seemingly born in the past with a keen eye on the future. Justin Swart (guitar/vocals) and Jason Hinch (drums) are a South African pair that give previous power duos a run for their money in the bluesy/fuzzed-out, minimalist rock department. Unlike, say, the White Stripes, however, these fellas mesh a swinging Yardbirds-meets-Raconteurs vibe (complete with large Stooges cojones) with a folk-induced mind-set that makes for a more cerebral listen whilst still rocking out completely, stripped of any bloated clutter. The guitar sound is a blissed-out Twin Reverb fuzz-fest that hits like a ten-ton hammer dressed in furs, the drums dig deep into the Bonham 'tight but loose' swing of Bonham legacy (complete with bombastic weight) and the vocals soar with ethereal, cavernous delicacy making for a delicious array of sounds that totally, totally dig on each other. A grass roots band that seek to become part of each individual listener's emotional fabric, the guys are down to earth and shed of pretension - Swart puts it best: "We want as many people as we can get to hear our music. Not for popularity, awards, fame, etc. but in the hope that our music will form a part of the lives and memories of people like so many of our musical heroes have done for us." Theirs is a music that will continue to evolve and push personal boundaries, all the while making your booty move. Comes on transparant red vinyl. FFO: Reignwolf, The White Stripes, The Black Keys.

SPINOUT NUGGETS BEATPACK - ALL GOOD THINGS (TURN TO DUST)
The Beatpack have been around in various shapes and forms for thirty years now, albeit with a two-decade break in the middle. First time around, they recorded a 7" EP in 1989 (produced by Billy Childish), followed by another 7" in 1990, then their debut LP in `91, all on German label Screaming Apple. They toured with Manic Street Preachers, along with The Thanes, The Aardvarks and others, and then vanished in a puff of smoke, only resurfacing in 2012. Since their return, two more 7"s and one 7" EP were released through State Records, followed by a 7" EP with Heavy Soul Records. Now their long-awaited second LP, 'All Good Things (Turn To Dust)' comes through Spinout Nuggets. GARAGE/PUNK/BEAT/PSYCH
SCREAMING APPLE FADEAWAYS - IT'S ABOUT TIME
Formed in Tokyo in 2005 the Fadeaways are Japan's leading garage punk outfit. Influenced by '60s garage bands, '70s punk, and '80s neo garage. Brutal fuzz attacks, screaming vocals and the drums like a prehistoric tribe. Raised on bands like the The Mummies, Supercharger, Spaceshits and the Lyres, The Fadeaways are pretty much destined to become a garage punk hit machine. GARAGE/PUNK/BEAT/PSYCH

LAY BARE FRAYLE - 1692 (WHITE/GOLD)
Repress on white in gold vinyl. Frayle makes music for the night sky. The group was formed in 2017 by guitarist Sean Bilovecky (formerly of now defunct Man's Ruin recording artists Disengage) and vocalist Gwyn Strang , a singer with an alluring voice and an equally compelling flair for imagery. Frayle's "lullabies over chaos" approach to songwriting allows the group the freedom to explore what is possible with heavy music; its gorgeously ominous sound is a result of complex layering and tone stacking while simultaneously overseeing the perfectly delicate balance between heaving, heavy riffs and haunting vocal melodies. Gwyn's lyrics tell stories of heartbreak, anger, hypocrisy and resolution, asking the audience for empathy, and in turn inspiring vulnerability. Her angelic, siren like voice pulls at the tension between wanting to dissolve into the universe and needing to stand on top of it, riding each wave with elastically ethereal phrases that bring to mind Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser or Portishead's Beth Gibbons. This dynamic is also reflected in Frayle's music, where dark, brooding guitars and percussion are both fighting against and propelling the emotion and melody carried by Strang's magnetic voice. In addition to vocalist Gwyn Strang and guitarist Sean Bilovecky, Frayle features drummer Pat Ginley, bassist Eric Mzik and guitarist Elliot Rosen. METAL/STONER/HARDROCK
LAY BARE FRAYLE - THE WHITE WITCH (WHITE/BLACK)
Repress on white in black coloured vinyl. Frayle's "lullabies over chaos" approach to songwriting allows them the freedom to explore what is possible with heavy music. They strive to balance the heaviest of riffs with the approachability of Gwyn's haunting vocal melodies. Complex layering and tone stacking is a hallmark of their music. Each musical element is thoughtfully composed resulting in a unique combination of midrange-heavy guitars, syncopated rhythms, and unexpected vocal progressions. Gwyn tells stories of heart break, anger, hypocrisy and resolution, asking the audience for empathy, and in turn inspiring vulnerability. METAL/STONER/HARDROCK
SVART HARD ROCK SALLINEN - HEAVY METAL SYMPHONY (2LP)
Finnish metalheads have always been puzzled by the question of which is our country's first heavy metal band. It appears to be Hard Rock Sallinen, which was founded in 1974. Their source of inspiration was Rainbow, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Mountain, Aerosmith and Cactus. It took a long time before the band signed their first recording contract in the early 1980's. The debut album 'Heavy Metal Symphony' is now being re-released after 40 years, as the original edition has become a collector's rarity. This was their only album before disbanding in 1984, due to a lack of infrastructure in Finland that could have pushed heavy rock forward. METAL/STONER/HARD ROCK

Effortlessly, your feet work the ultra-clean clock signal, as you march deeper into the cavernous mining meshwork of the ever Fraggle-rocking druidic Doozers. Down toward The Nexus, eyes popping from their methaphorical sockets, at the sight of huge subterraneous vallum - carved over millennia, from immense basalt slabs of pure sound timbre, by thousands of minuscule, motorik hands - sky-scraping yet upward, awash with muted, warm light emanated by colossal spikes of 100% natural, fluorescent UV rave stalagmite. Through the lower regions, where Emerson Lake and Palmer meet Maggotron at night, fording in Dutch electro-sewage up to their jointlessly syncopated hips. As you reach the nethermost, sub-aquatic level - eardrums sensually tingled by the pressure, shifted elegantly as Epernay champagne - the cruiser of the gillmen is already waiting, electrogenic thrusters warmed-up for warp record pace, fully rigged in its thalassic grotto hangar, ready to journey even deeper.

EKTRO LEHTISALO, JUSSI - ROCK BOAT
It's hard to decide whether the ultimate value of Jussi Lehtisalo's 8th full-length solo outing lies in its startlingly clear but throughly unorthodox musical vision - kilometres ahead of nearly anyone else's game - or the ingenious solution it offers for downscaling the volume of future, carefully composited record collections to a veritable 50% of what up to now has been the norm. In presenting any discriminating consumer of modern music with the factual prospect of simultaneously enjoying both a pleasant bath of soul-tinged, Rhodes-heavy easy listening and being sonically sand-blasted by face-melting harsh noise, each of them evenly distributed over the precise same span of time, off just one(!) record Lehtisalo is able to not just bench-mark a whole new level of proficiency in genre-wise crossover, skillfully combining styles hitherto seen as polar oil and water opposites, but also manages to offer a noteworthy solution for allowing enthusiasts of sound worldwide to double their music-free family time, as the emulgated ingenuity of 'Rock The Boat''s easy yacht noise flute absorbs only **half** of the time normally spent preoccupied with blank-staring from the sofa, in your hi-fi's exact sweet spot.

EKTRO RANGER - YLOS RAUNIOISTA/RISEN FROM THE RUINS
"On this album we continue on the path we laid on our last demo 'Insurgency.' The album was recorded in our home studio, which was a natural choice after being fed up with the music business and "real" studios. The base tracks were recorded by the two of us, but there are also guest musicians on the album such as our live guitarist Atte Nikku from Rapid and John Finne from Obnoxious Youth. Emma Grönqvist and Sebastian Bergman from Chevalier and Iiro Karttunen from Emissary provided guest vocals. Musically we wanted to broaden our sound. This can be heard on the instrumentation: for example we combined acoustic drums with electronic sounds and a drum machine. Theremin and air rifles are also new additions to our sound pallette. We had thought of singing in Finnish for a long time. The lyrics deal with topical issues such as rising militarism, unemployment and life as a wheel in the capitalist system. The lyrics deal with important issues to us and it felt natural to sing about them in our mother tongue. We also wanted to make the lyrics comprehensible to our international audience so there we decided to make the album both in Finnish and English. The album is a new beginning and a closure. Returning to the home studio and working with Ektro after a long time means closing a circle in a way, but we are looking to the future at the same time. Ranger has risen from the ruins."

'Harde Feiten' kicks in immediately, and the group is back up to cruising speed. In the first week of release, the record even appears in the bestseller list of the record stores. POP/ROCK/NEW WAVE
ONDERSTROOM AROMA DI AMORE - KOUDE OORLOG
First-time reissue of a Belpop cult-classic. Aroma Di Amore is/was Belgium's premier cult band. Since the early eighties ADA innovatively combined electronics with rock. With a mix of razor-sharp Flemish lyrics and unconventional song structures the group earned a cult status in Belgium and abroad. In 1984 Aroma releases 'Koude Oorlog' on the new and independent Brussels label Play It Again Sam. The traditional press and radio ignore the record, but in the alternative circuits the mini-album does not go unnoticed, and the group starts to build a solid fan base, resulting in more and more offers for gigs. There's also interest in the Netherlands, and due to the international contacts of PIAS, the record also ends up in France, Switzerland, Spain and Canada. POP/ROCK/NEW WAVE
ONDERSTROOM AROMA DI AMORE - KOUDVUUR
First-time reissue of a Belpop cult-classic. Aroma Di Amore is/was Belgium's premier cult band. Since the early eighties ADA innovatively combined electronics with rock. With a mix of razor-sharp Flemish lyrics and unconventional song structures the group earned a cult status in Belgium and abroad. At the beginning of 1987 the recordings for the second album start, this time in a production by Peeters and Angst themselves. Shortly after the shooting, AdA goes to Switzerland for a short but successful tour, with Men 2nd and Cas & Organized Crime as support act. 'Koudvuur' is published in the autumn and considered to be their strongest record so far by the group, the reactions are rather low. Both the reviews in the press and the sales are disappointing and put a damper on the joy. Nevertheless, the group is invited to perform in Valencia, Spain, where they have an unexpected success.

Stella is already known as the most characteristic female voice in the Greek electro-pop scene. After many collaborations and guest appearances (My Wet Calvin, Sillyboy, Coti K., Expert Medicine, Nteibint, Sad Disco) and two side projects (Fever Kids, Chest) it was time for her debut self-titled album. The world of 'Stella' unfolds in 10 tracks where love for the 80's is present, synths are bolstered by funky guitar and dynamic bass and disco beats and colorful pop textures embrace the vocals of Stella.

BONGO JOE LIMA, PEDRO - RECORDAR E VIVER: ANTOLOGIA, VOL. 1
Rare and unreleased '80s bangers from Sao Tomé & Principe's most iconic singer. Pursuing their work with their friend DJ Tom B, Bongo Joe Records is proud of sharing the fourth effort on their Sao Tomé & Principe series: 'Recordar é Viver,' the first volume of an anthology dedicated to the one and only Pedro Lima, "A voz do povo de Sao Tomé" (the people's voice of Sao Tomé). 'Recordar é Viver: Antologia Vol. 1' features some previously unreleased tracks and gives a comprehensive look into the discography of one of the islands' biggest stars, known for his political outspokenness as much as for his soft voice, delicate rumbas, and high-energy puxas. With his band Os Leonenses he built a brand new genre around the strong rhythms and infectious energy of Sao-Toméan samba socopé ("only with the feet" in Portuguese), but with the influence of Congolese soukous, Cape Verdean coladeira, elements from French West-Indies cadence/compas, and Brazilian afoxé, it soon developed into the infectiously danceable style known as "puxa." The band kept playing together up until Pedro's death in 2019, performing at large events around the islands and on the continent. But Pedro shined also on his own. Alone, he demonstrated his compositional skills and ability to balance the band's powerful rhythm section with Sao Tomé & Principe's harmonic backing vocal traditions, creating strong, dance floor ready puxas or melodic, delicate rumbas. Pedro Lima died in 2019, leaving behind the 23 children he fathered, with thousands of mourners accompanying him to his final resting place. The public funeral, paid for by ex-president Pinto da Costa, was one of the biggest the islands have ever seen. Lima, "O cantor do povo" ("the people's singer"), was buried with his wireless microphone, so his powerful voice would always be heard. AFRO/BEAT/DESERT BLUES

SOUTHERN LORD SUNN O))) - METTA, BENEVOLENCE. BBC 6MUSIC
In late October 2019, following a successful UK tour ending in a sold-out concert at the mythical Roundhouse in London, SUNN O))) entered studio 4 of the BBC Maida Vale. On invitation to record a live session for Mary Anne Hobbs to be broadcast on Samhain via her excellent radio show on BBC6. To enter the legendary John Peel studios was to enter a temple of music and experimentation, liberty in ideas and sound. The band was nearing the end of a long touring year around the 'Life Metal' and 'Pyroclast' albums. SUNN O))) had developed the compositions extensively, embracing the formative concepts of the 'Life Metal' album conceptually and emotionally, but actualised and evolved into vast, open and bright hypersaturated arrangements. Particularly the pieces the band chose to perform on this recording: 'Troubled Air' and 'Pyroclasts'. The former enriched into a total aspect of the band's ethos and form in many ways, and 'Pyroclasts' had evolved to become all-inclusive radiation of O))). The radiation embraces collaboration and freedom of interpretation by each player, within a structural format of the massive monuments of sound and distortion which define SUNN O))). Anna Von Hausswolf and her band had accompanied SUNN O))) on the UK leg, and Anna joined SUNN O))) in the studio on synths and with her tremendous voice on the 'Pyroclasts' pieces. TRACKS: 1.

ONDERSTROOM A BLAZE COLOUR - AGAINST THE DARK TREES BEYOND
Sought-after Belgian minimal synth finally reissued and compiled on LP. They were interesting times, the early eighties. Against a backdrop of cold war and economic crises, the DIY attitude of the earlier punk movement had spawned near countless new genres where artists and bands broke the three-chord guitar mould and experimented with new content matter, singular song structures and - in many cases - new instruments. Synthesizers became affordable and were no longer the sole privilege of rock millionaires. All around the globe, musical creativity boomed as never before, and Belgium was no exception: Digital Dance, Snowy Red, The Names, Pseudocode, Marine, 1000 Ohm, De Kommeniste, M.Bryo & D.M.T., De Brassers, Struggler, Siglo XX are but a few legendary names of bands and artists who started making a name for themselves. In Leuven, things were happening as well. Until then, the music scene in this rather provincial town had been dominated by straightforward rock and blues acts. Not for much longer, though: in places like Arno'z and (later) The Gladhouse, where young budding artists met with kindred spirits, bands were often formed on the spot and, more importantly, started to make ripples. Ludo Camberlin and Karel 'Bam' Saelemaekers already had a certain track record in Leuven's burgeoning music microcosm. But what they shared would become the cornerstone of A Blaze Colour (Against The Dark Trees Beyond): a fascination for new forms and instruments, a penchant for sonic adventure and a profound love for gripping songs. The full band name, by the way, was inspired by a phrase from the Irish-American novelist J.P. Donleavy, a writer who belongs in the definitely-worth-checking-out section. POP/ROCK/NEW WAVE

ANALOG AFRICA SONIDO VERDE DE MOYOBAMBA - SONIDO VERDE DE MOYOBAMBA
Formed in 1980 by guitar prodigy Leonardo Vela Rodriguez, Sonido Verde De Moyobamba created some of the hardest, craziest cumbia to emerge from the Peruvian jungle. With distorted, surf-addled guitar facing off against lysergic organ and hyperactive tropical rhythms, Sonido Verde conjured the organic sound of the dense forests surrounding their hometown while riding their dance-party grooves to dizzying psychedelic peaks. Compiled by Analog Africa, 'Sonido Verde De Moyobamba' presents eight ultra-rare tracks of guitar and organ madness drawn from the band's five albums recorded for Discos Universal between 1981 and 1987. Pressed on sun yellow colored vinyl, housed in a screen-printed jacket and strictly limited to 2000 copies, Sonido Verde is a definitive trip into the heart of the jungle. SIDE 1: 1. Melancolia 2.

ANALOG AFRICA VARIOUS - PERU SELVATICO (2LP)
'SONIC EXPEDITION INTO THE PERUVIAN AMAZON 1972-1986' - Less than a hundred miles inland from the capital City of Lima lies the great Peruvian jungle, an untamed land of impenetrable forests and endless winding rivers. In its isolated cities, cut off from the fashions of the capital, a unique style of music began to develop, inspired equally by the sounds of the surrounding forests, the roll of the mighty Amazon and Ucayali Rivers, and the rhythms of cumbia picked up from distant stations on transistor radios. With the arrival of electricity, a new generation of young musicians started plugging in their guitars and trading in their accordions for synthesizers: Amazonian cumbia was born. Powered by fast-paced timbale rhythms, driven by spidery, treble-damaged guitar lines, and drenched in bright splashes of organ, Amazonian cumbia was like a hyperactive distant cousin of surf music crossed with an all-night dance party in the heart of the forest. While many of the genre's greatest tracks were instrumental, and others were simple celebrations of life in the jungle, the goal of every song was to keep the party going. Radio stations in Lima remained unaware of the new electric sounds emanating from the jungle, but a handful of pioneering record producers ventured over the mountain passes to the cities of Tarapoto, Moyobamba, Pucallpa - even Iquitos, a city reachable only by boat or plane - and lured dozens of bands to the recording studios of the capital to lay down their best tracks. Although many became local hits, few were ever heard outside the Amazonian region... until now. With eighteen tracks from some of the greatest names in Amazonian cumbia, 'Perú Selvático' is both the improbable soundtrack to a beach party on a banks of the Amazon and a psychedelic safari into the sylvan mysteries of the Peruvian jungle.

RIOT SEASON FALLING FLOORS - FALLING FLOORS
Falling Floors is a psych-rock three piece, formed in the pandemic out of a desire for distraction from dark times and an unending stream of shit news (seriously, what the fuck is going on?) There's no master plan, no grand ambition, no product-market fit, just a shared love of '60s psych, '70s rock, and the fearless, genre-less experimentation of Krautrock and early prog to get us through. Riding the trans-Pennine underground (up the hill and out of the crags, down there, you know?), you can hear magical sounds coming out of the Valley. On a cold and wet Calderdale winter, the band recorded their self-titled first album, DIY, live, in two days in Hebden Bridge. Rawness not perfection and feel over finesse were the aims. This album, a trans-Atlantic joint release by Riot Season (UK) and Echodelick (US), lives by slips, fuck-ups, and simple, joyous expression. Falling Floors is Rob Herian (ex-feral stoner rockers Early Mammal) on guitar and vocals, Harry Wheeler (no ravers The Family Elan) on bass and keys, and Colin Greenwood (ex-shoegaze folk rockers No Sorrows) on drums. It's no one's project, and no one's in charge. But there's enough in common to keep it honest. Limited to 300 copies on clear vinyl. PSYCH/PROG/BLUES/FOLK

SPINOUT PUBLICATIONS HARTLEY, DARRYL R./THE CLOSER WE ARE TO DYING - IN HEAVEN (+CD)
'Eraserhead' is an American surrealist horror film released in March 1977. The debut feature of acclaimed director David Lynch, it soon built up a reputation as a must-see piece of surrealist horror cinema. Forty five years later it's still considered an essential piece of filmmaking; as shocking, bizarre and baffling as it was when first released. 'In Heaven' is a celebration of this very unique movie. As well as presenting an overview of the movie's themes and aesthetic, the book is also fully illustrated. Scenes are recreated in black and white mixed media, capturing the dark and grimy despair of the antagonist's world within 'Eraserhead'. A CD of music is also included; dark ambient soundscapes created by The Closer We Are To Dying. This 12 track suite has been devised specifically to complement each chapter of the book and to enhance the experience of delving deeper into the dreamlike narrative of the movie. A must for fans of David Lynch, art, music, surrealist filmmaking and film in general. CULT/HORROR/ART/BOOKS

Since gracing the stage, TexasG has had the opportunity to perform at a vast array of prominent venues and events, including showcases in the Dallas and Ft. Worth music scenes. Since his inception into the market, TexasG began garnering an insatiable street buzz and positive reception with the release of his anchor singles "Black Rose Petals & Nigga Shit" and "Bossin'", currently available on all major platforms. His follow up single "Spontaneous Late Nite" is in post-production stages and is slated for release this year in 2019.

What are the 16 Important Health Benefits of Fungi?
September 11, 2020 - by Fethiyetouristpass.com
Fungi are edible mushrooms with several scientific names and their last name is «Agaricus». They are essentially Saprophytes, the organisms (plants without chlorophyll) that thrive by extracting nutrients from dead and decaying plants and animal matter. They vary greatly in color, texture, shape and properties. There are approximately 140,000 species of fungus-forming fungi in the world, but science is only familiar with about 10%, while only 100 species are being studied for their possible health benefits and medicinal applications. The health benefits of fungi include relief of high cholesterol levels, breast cancer, prostate cancer and diabetes. They also help you lose weight and increase the strength of your immune system. Almost all of us are familiar with fungi and their miraculous and beneficial powers. Particularly those who have read or heard many fairy tales like Alice in Wonderland, ThreeBears, and a baby or even those who have played the video game Super Mario Bros.
You've probably seen mushrooms making someone bigger or acting as a shield against some dangerous monster. These are not only references of popular culture, but they are symbolic representations of the real health benefits of fungi. They can really make you grow and protect you against diseases and infections, since they are full of proteins, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antibiotics and antioxidants. Fungi are not the most glorious, beautiful or fragrant creations of nature, but mushrooms certainly have their weight in terms of health. However unappealing it may be that they are budding mushrooms, the benefits of mushrooms are incredibly potent, making them a healthy food that can unconditionally rise to a state of superfood.
Types of Fungi:
White mushrooms may already be a staple of your diet, but there is a wide range of edible mushrooms available at your grocery store. Learn about the six most common types and learn how to prepare mushrooms (wash or not wash?), And you will be ready to use them in a variety of recipes.
1. Rope:
With a fruity aroma, the chanterelles range from yellow, orange and brown to pale white or black.
Funnel-shaped caps have wrinkles instead of gills at the bottom, which should be washed quickly but carefully before using.
2. White:
The most common type, white mushrooms vary in size from the small button called, which are harvested when they are young and have the mildest taste, to jumbo, which can be filled and baked.
Cream to pale white, they have a firm texture and a delicate flavor.
3. Oyster:
Oyster mushrooms, velvety and trumpet-shaped, have delicate brown, gray or reddish tops on the gray-white stalks.
They have a spicy taste that becomes very soft when cooked. Small and young specimens are considered the best.
4. Portobello:
Up to 6 inches wide, portobellos have a great flavor and texture similar to a steak; in fact, giant umbrella-like caps are often eaten as vegetarian hamburger substitutes.
Remove woody stems before eating.
5. Shiitake:
With fleshy tacos of brown to dark brown, shiitakes have a clearly smoky taste and taste better when cooked.
Available fresh or dried, they work well in sauteed, since the flavor does not fade along with ginger and garlic.
Although the stems are too difficult to eat and should be removed from the heads before cooking, you can use them to season the sauces before discarding.
6. Cremini:
Like white mushrooms, but with a firmer texture and a deeper flavor, creminis are really immature portobellos.
Button-shaped tops range from light brown to deep brown. The stems are edible.
16 Important Health Benefits of Fungi:
The health benefits of fungi are abundant, for thousands of years, the benefits of fungi have been revered as a central part of traditional oriental medicine, but only recently have they obtained the credit they deserve in the rest of the world. Of all mushrooms consumed in the USA. In the US, 90 percent are white button mushrooms (or crimini).
"The varieties of fungi cover the entire range, and their flavor, taste and texture are as nuanced as their health benefits".
White mushrooms will be the focus of this list, taking into account their popularity, but the benefits of much more unique mushrooms are also highlighted, as they bring incredible health benefits and uses to the table.
1. Reduce Cholesterol:
Mushrooms provide lean protein because they have no cholesterol or fat and have very few carbohydrates.
The fiber and certain enzymes in them also help reduce cholesterol levels.
In addition, the high content of lean protein found in them helps burn cholesterol when digested.
Balancing cholesterol levels between LDL ("bad") and HDL ("good") cholesterol is essential in the prevention of various cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke.
2. Treat Anemia:
Anemic patients are characterized by having low levels of iron in the blood, resulting in fatigue, headaches, reduced neuronal function and digestive problems.
Fungi are a good source of iron, and more than 90% of the nutritional value of iron can be absorbed by the body, which promotes the formation of red blood cells and keeps people healthy and functioning at their full potential.
3. Help Prevent Cancer:
Fungi are very effective in preventing breast and prostate cancer due to the significant presence of Beta-Glucans and Conjugated Linoleic Acid, which have anticancer effects.
Of these two, linoleic acid is particularly useful for suppressing the harmful effects of excess estrogen.
This increase in estrogen is one of the main causes of breast cancer in women after menopause.
Beta-Glucans, on the other hand, inhibit the growth of cancer cells in cases of prostate cancer, and numerous studies have demonstrated the antitumor properties of fungi when applied medicinally.
4. Prevents Diabetes:
Fungi are an ideal low energy diet for diabetics.
They have no fat, no cholesterol, very low levels of carbohydrates, high protein content and a lot of vitamins and minerals. They also contain a lot of water and fiber.
In addition, they contain natural insulin and enzymes that help the breakdown of sugar or starch in food.
It is also known to contain certain compounds that help the proper functioning of the liver, pancreas and other endocrine glands, thus promoting the formation of insulin and its proper regulation throughout the body.
Diabetics often suffer from infections, especially in their extremities, which tend to last for long periods of time.
The natural antibiotics in them can help protect diabetics from these painful and life-threatening conditions.
5. Improves Bone Health:
Fungi are a rich source of calcium, which is an essential nutrient in the formation and strengthening of bones.
A constant supply of calcium in the diet can reduce your chances of developing conditions such as osteoporosis and can also reduce joint pain and the general lack of mobility that is associated with bone degradation.
6. Help in Nutrient Absorption:
Vitamin D is a relatively rare vitamin to find in vegetables, and in fact, edible forms, in general, are not particularly common.
However, fungi do, and this essential vitamin can facilitate the absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorus.
Calcium and phosphorus are also present in good amounts in fungi, so the combined effects of having all these nutrients make it a good idea to eat them whenever possible.
7. Stimulates the Immune System:
Ergotionein, a powerful antioxidant present in fungi, is very effective in providing protection against free radicals and in stimulating the immune system.
Actually, it is an amino acid that contains sulfur, which is something that many people are deficient of, despite not knowing it or seeing its effects.
That said, the presence of this "master antioxidant" that is exclusive to fungi can give a great boost to the health of your immune system.
Ergothioneine helps eliminate free radicals, which are dangerous compounds released during the metabolic processes of cells, and can float throughout the body and cause significant damage and disease.
Mushrooms contain natural antibiotics (similar to penicillin), which inhibit microbial growth and other fungal infections. Those same polysaccharides, beta-glucans, can stimulate and regulate the body's immune system.
They can also help heal ulcers and ulcerative wounds and protect them from developing infections. The good combination of vitamin A, complex B and C found in them also strengthens the immune system.
8. Contributes to Lower Blood Pressure:
Studies of various types of fungi, including shiitake and maitake mushrooms, have shown that they have a high potassium content.
Potassium acts as a vasodilator, relaxing tension in blood vessels and therefore reducing blood pressure.
High blood pressure is connected to a series of deadly conditions, particularly heart attacks and strokes.
Potassium also increases cognitive function, because the increased flow of blood and oxygen to the brain stimulates neuronal activity. Studies have shown that increasing potassium levels improves memory and knowledge retention.
9. Increases Iron Absorption:
Copper has a number of beneficial effects on the body and can be found in fungi.
Copper can regulate and stimulate the absorption of iron from food, and use it properly by releasing it from primary storage places in the body, such as the liver.
Fungi also have high levels of iron, so they both work together to have healthy bones and prevent anemia.
10. Rich in Selenium:
The selenium content in fungi is one of the most beneficial elements that is often overlooked.
The primary source of selenium is in animal proteins; However, due to their classification as fungi that feed on animal and plant matter, fungi are the best way for vegetarians to obtain the necessary amount of selenium.
Selenium is found in large amounts in fungi and can benefit bone health by increasing bone strength and increasing durability.
It also strengthens teeth, hair and nails, in addition, this essential nutrient is a powerful antioxidant, which removes the body from free radicals and generally strengthens the immune system.
The bioavailability of selenium in fungi differs depending on the species, but most commonly consumed mushrooms have significant levels of this important mineral.
11. Weight Loss:
Would you believe me if I said that a completely lean protein diet is ideal for losing fat and building muscle mass? Well, believe it or not, it's true.
Most fats are burned to digest the proteins found in our food, especially when the protein is accompanied by a very low carbohydrate count, without fat or cholesterol, and a good amount of fiber, this is exactly the combination They offer mushrooms to help lose weight.
Because of their nutrient density, they actually have a higher range than most fruits and vegetables, and some researchers say that mushrooms are one of the rare foods that people can eat as often as possible, without side effects.
One study replaced red meat with white button mushrooms, approximately one cup per day, and found that those test subjects who ate these not only lost a significant amount of weight over a standard period of time, but also lowered their waistlines. , and more able to maintain their new weight, instead of returning to the original weight as in most crash diets.
12. Regenerates the Skin:
For soft and supple skin, use products that are infused with fungi.
According to a Chinese study, white button fungus extract increases collagen fibers and benefits skin regeneration after injury.
13. Help in Patients with Hepatitis B:
Maitake mushrooms also help in the recovery of patients with hepatitis B.
In a study among 32 patients with chronic hepatitis B, there was a recovery rate of 72 percent in the Maitake group compared to a recovery rate of 57 percent in the control group.
14. Everyday Spice:
You will often see dried mushrooms, such as shiitakes, that are sold in ethnic food stores or health food stores.
Grind these dried mushrooms in a fine powder and use them as a complement to your meals: from soups and salads to scrambled eggs and pasta sauces, their salty flavor brings much more than a delicious flavor to your meals.
Get the essential amino acids and nutrients that fungi have to offer in every bite without having to turn them into the center of the dish.
15. Reduce Inflammation:
Even compared to other mushroom superstars, such as shiitake, oyster and maitake varieties, white button mushrooms are exceptionally advanced to reduce inflammation.
Adding white mushrooms to the diet has been shown to change the body's microflora and create metabolic changes that ultimately lead to less inflammatory cells.
16. HIV Defense:
A 2004 study funded by the National Institutes of Health and its department of alternative medicine, doctors discovered that there was a benefit from ingesting a tea made from lyophilized oyster mushrooms grown on wood over antiretroviral-induced hyperlipidemia in HIV patients.
Seriously, mushrooms can be very dangerous. Most species of fungi are not edible, are highly poisonous and look strikingly similar to their edible counterparts. Never try to collect them for forest consumption unless you have been trained to identify them very well. Fungi have the unique ability to absorb the material on which they grow, whether good or bad. This quality is what gives them much of their beneficial power, but also their dangerous aspects. Many fungi, when collected in nature, contain heavy metals, which can be very toxic, as well as air and water pollutants. Also, don't trust any unknown seller when you buy mushrooms. Always rely on sealed products from reputable companies or those you have grown yourself under controlled conditions after purchasing your seeds (called spawners) from a reliable source.
A single poisonous fungus, among others, on a plate can threaten a large number of people, causing comas, severe symptoms of intoxication, nausea, vomiting, seizures, cramps and dementia. Many species can even be fatal if ingested. Always avoid eating colorless colors or those that are a color different from the typically accepted color of your species.

An MBO bonus is a performance-based reward an employee earns when completing the goals stated in their MBO program. These bonuses and objectives are set as a result of discussions held between management and employees, and should stem directly from higher-level organizational targets.
Because they are a product of collaboration, and based on each employee's individual tasks, MBO bonuses are visible from the day they are set, and thus highly motivating. Employees should be well aware of what exactly needs to be achieved in order for their bonuses to be received.
One of the most valuable aspects of the MBO bonus lies in its transparency. With both the bonus amount and required task in plain view (thanks to the role the employee plays in goal setting), employees can't help but visualize attainment. A down payment on a car, or perhaps an engagement ring? A nice chunk to put towards paying off a credit card? With employees themselves contributing to the process, they know exactly what's expected of their performance.
They can then visualize themselves achieving set goals and receiving the attached bonuses in return. Given all of that, you don't need to go overboard with objectives and related MBO bonuses. Meaning, setting around three major goals per quarter is an optimal amount.
The saying "when you try and do everything, you do nothing" definitely rings true in this case. We've all been in the position of having too much to do; so much that you just spin your wheels trying to figure out where to start. Or worse, starting, and then jumping to the next task before completion of the first, and then on to the next one, over and again (rabbit holes will get you every time if you let them). Not to mention the overwhelming feeling of having to hit something like seven goals for full payout versus an achievable three.
To cement the point, companies that set goals quarterly in the form of MBOs see 31 percent greater returns from their performance process than those who set goals yearly. So keeping things simple with a few targets per quarter is the way to go.
While it's important for MBO bonuses to be tied to individual tasks, it's also crucial that employees are receiving rewards for achievements that are aligned with corporate objectives, too.
Think of it like a system of individual funnels (employee goals) constructed to fill a big bucket at the bottom (your organizational goals). There is no way that main bucket gets filled if the personal employee funnels above it are pooled or misaligned. Sure you might be successful at filling individual funnels, but you'll eventually have water all over the place, and very little in the bucket.
Improving employee morale is an additional benefit of ensuring goal alignment. CEB HR Leadership Council found that organizations that effectively convey to employees how their individual role impacts the overall business, experience a 21% higher total shareholder return over three years. One can speculate that this is because such communication gives employees purpose and an identity as a team member tasked with shouldering their share of the load. This greatly improves the odds of your people being engaged and happy in the workplace, in return.
When it comes to goal setting, you hear this a lot—it should never be a "set it and forget it" activity. If you are going through the process of setting goals with your people, you need to also take the required steps of checking in on those targets before the deadlines. Reinforcements and reminders keep employee minds fresh and focused on the task at hand, and nudges them back on track of achieving their MBO bonuses.
As an example, remember when your parents would ask if your room was clean? Over time (certainly not immediately), you began to get the sense of when they were going to ask such an important question, so, you made sure your room clean before they could. Then, when they did, you took the pleasure in stating a resounding "Yes!" Eventually, your room was clean more often than not, all because you were having regular check-ins with your parents about it—and, you were expecting those check-ins, and began to take a little pride in your responsibility.
See where I'm going? If employees know they aren't going to have to talk about a goal and their progress, they're going to procrastinate. It's just human nature. On the flip side, they aren't going to want to look foolish by having zero progress to report when asked, and the goals they're reporting on will naturally float to the top of their minds on a more regular basis.
To be clear, we aren't talking about spreadsheets or word processing documents. Yes, they are on a computer, but no they aren't the best technology for such a situation (or many situations involving compensation, incentives, or rewards).
Employee Performance Management or MBO software like Xactly Objectives™ allows for flexibility and organization, and the visibility I've been talking about. All of this creates the ability to easily adjust goals and bonuses at a moment's notice should the need come about. On the other hand, multiple spreadsheets just waiting to be infected with human error along with the threads and threads of email communication don't contribute to the recipe for success.
No matter how good your MBO program is, or the amount and quality of communication you have around it all, goals and bonuses will always invoke pressure. So, it's important you dial back the pressure when it comes to meeting goals, and turn up the balance between achieving those objectives and achieving them in a manner you'd be proud of.
Specifically, goals shouldn't be presented as "by any means" necessary. While you should push employees to meet their targets, also be mindful of any language that might encourage your people to cut corners or act dishonestly. One way to ease the pressure could be breaking goals down into smaller chunks, to the point where an employee missing one out of three or four smaller targets isn't as big of a financial deal as missing one large goal making up the majority of the bonus.
This isn't the time for team or departmental goals. Meaning, the achievement of the MBO bonus should be controlled (or at least mostly) by the individual, without having to heavily rely on others.
Now of course, realistically, there are very few tasks that can be completed in a vacuum. Just be sure to not set an individual goal like "increase sales in region xyz by 20%" if the region's total sales are made up by multiple individuals. If Sales Rep Samuel increases his sales by 20%, but the others fall short, so does the goal, which isn't fair to Sales Rep Samuel. More on MBO examples.
This was alluded to above, but it's worth re-stating in a different manner, to close this out. No matter the technology used, any goal that is simply stated and then not revisited until review time is bound to fail.
With it being January, we are all too familiar with setting big resolutions, going hard at them for a week or so, and then letting them fade. But, haven't you found that when you hold yourself accountable, put together means of keeping track of progress, host regular check-ins with yourself, and celebrate the small victories, you see progress? You should adopt the same attitude when it comes to the goals and MBO bonuses you set for your employees.
Unfortunately, even if you're good 80% of the time, but fail to follow through with that last 20%, you'll have nothing to show for it except frustration. While the examples above center around sales primarily, MBO bonuses can work for any employee in any industry. How could they improve your organization?


One of the reasons Olympic Hot Tub is so appreciative of being a dealer for Hot Spring Spas is their commitment to making hot water soaking healthy and as maintenance free as possible. In 2009, they made a significant leap forward in achieving this with the ACE Salt Water System. It brought to market a water care system that allowed soaking in salt water in their tubs. There had been efforts at salt water systems for hot tubs from various companies in the industry, but never had a manufacturer attempted to integrate a salt system into a hot tub in concert with the rest of the tub's operations. And, no other manufacturer has achieved it still to this day besides Hot Spring!
Over the years, the system continued to evolve and became easier to maintain. Some of the improvements came from feedback from dealers like Olympic, who listened to what customers had to say. And, because we believe so much in the ability for customers to get a chance to try a hot tub before making a decision, we had a significant number of hot tubs in our showrooms with salt systems in operation that gave us insight into the best way for our customers to experience healthy salt water soaking.
2019 is a (no pun intended) watershed year for Olympic and for Hot Spring Spas. They have introduced the next generation of salt water soaking, and we can't be more thrilled. It takes a giant leap forward in making the system even easier for customers to use with less ongoing expense and even more eco-friendly than ACE! We're thrilled to bring the FreshWater Salt System to market on our entire line of Hot Spring Spas.
The FreshWater Salt System is fully integrated into the operation of a Hot Spring Spa, taking it to a new level not found with ACE. A salt cartridge is housed in a chamber built into the tub's filtration system, allowing continuous water flow to produce sanitizer from the salt in the water. The cartridge is designed to last four months and can be easily replaced by the hot tub owner. It doesn't require cleaning or any maintenance! The system is operated easily from the control panel of the tub.
The number of water care products required to operate the system have been reduced, and the number of times you need to add any bottled product has been as well. This means you're adding less fillers and chemicals to the water in your tub. That's not only better for your skin, it also extends the life of the water. With the proper minimal care required on a FreshWater Salt System, you can expect to only drain your hot tub once a year! This satisfies a couple of Hot Spring's initiatives: to reduce the amount of maintenance for the hot tub owner and help conserve water. Their belief is that, as a hot tub manufacturer, part of their responsibility is to find ways to help reduce the amount of water needed to use a hot tub. Water is a precious resource, and they are proactively taking steps to make sure Hot Spring Spas require as little water as possible while allowing consumers to have the healthies hot water soaking environment to enjoy.
There are so many benefits to soaking in hot water! Yet, the biggest organ we put into a tub each time we soak—our skin—has largely been ignored by the hot tub industry. Salt water is a much better environment to immerse your body in to get that all-important soak with its myriad benefits. Isn't it terrific to know that the water you soak in has just the right amount of sanitizer to keep you safe, yet salt water to aid your skin and prevent it from drying out?
The water looks, feels, and smells clean. It's truly exciting to offer this amazing system to our customers on Hot Spring Spas.
If you've held off on considering a hot tub because of chemicals, maintenance, water usage…? Well, your day has arrived! If you're in our service area in greater Puget Sound, visit one of our six showrooms and let our team show you how this wonderful new system works. Better yet, make an appointment and give it a try! We'll have tubs in every showroom filled and ready for you to try out.


Do you ever hear or see something and wonder how it could be perceived differently? If you appreciate the subtle and not so subtle effects of music, marvel at the sound of birds and wonder how that sound would look, think about how colors relate to smell, how smells relate to memory and how tactile sensations can contribute to an experience, then this exhibition is for you.
When I think of the arts, I usually imagine a painting, sculpture or photograph, a concert, film or a theatrical performance. What all of these experiences have in common is that they engage our senses, sometimes one or two at a time – such as with theater and film.
The current exhibition at Cooper Hewitt, the Smithsonian Design Museum, Senses: Design Beyond Vision explores all of that, and more. It's a one-of-a-kind exhibition that not only answers the questions, but hopefully inspires more questions, and best yet: it can provide an insight and an additional insight into future experiences and allow us to imagine how music would look, how a color might smell, how sound could feel.
A great outing for families and people of all ages, it will inspire awe, provoke wonder and satisfy curiosity.
Senses: Design Beyond Vision is at the Cooper Hewitt through October 28, 2018. More at cooperhewitt.org.

A Health Care E-Alert
The Ohio Supreme Court issued an important decision in the lawsuit that challenged the authority of the Ohio Controlling Board (Board) when the Court ruled the Board did not exceed its power in authorizing the expenditure of additional federal funds requested by the Ohio Department of Medicaid. The decision, rendered late on December 20, 2013, effectively ends the prolonged fight over Medicaid expansion in Ohio.
The lawsuit, brought by several Ohio legislators, Cleveland Right to Life and Cincinnati Right to Life, argued that the Board had exceeded its statutory authority by failing to carry out the legislative intent of the General Assembly. This argument was based on a bill passed by the legislature that had included a provision that would have prohibited the expansion of Medicaid in Ohio, and not the final version of the bill as signed into law by Governor John Kasich. Prior to signing the law, the governor vetoed the provision that would have prohibited the expansion of Medicaid in Ohio.
Relators argued, however, that the General Assembly's iteration of the bill was indicative of the General Assembly's intent. Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor, who wrote the decision, disagreed, stating that such an argument would "create a constitutional crisis" because the "the General Assembly would have the power to command the controlling board, in all cases, to disregard the governor's veto in the implementation of appropriations. This interpretation is clearly contrary to the checks and balances that are critical to our constitutional democracy."
This ruling was joined by four members of the court. The other three justices would have dismissed the complaint outright without issuing a ruling on the merits.
