Aurora Rising present the first vinyl reissue of L'Occident Est Bleu/L'An Cinquante-Six, originally released in 1958. Pierre Henry is most popular among rock fans for his collaboration with the English band Spooky Tooth in 1969 but he already had a great reputation as a composer and performer in the field of modern classics, musique concrète and pioneering electronic avant-garde. So it is obvious that there have been quite a few albums by him and in cooperation with other artists not necessarily from the field of music. L'Occident Est Bleu/L'An Cinquante-Six features sound contributions by Pierre Henry, and spoken word performances by popular French actors Michel Vitold and Silvia Montfort based on two texts by fellow actor and singer Claude Pascal. It can be seen as an audio book rather than a regular music record backed with sounds. All the texts are performed in French and they focus on dark themes. The musical part of this album is also quite intense with a haunting atmosphere, droning and disturbing at times. The drone and musique concrète aspects show the roots of what should become cosmic music in the late '60s and early '70s performed mostly by artists such as Tangerine Dream. And indeed there are a few moments here that remind me of the classic Zeit (1972) by Edgar Froese and his mates. A sound experiment, a twisted and creepy manifestation of weird thoughts in something that is loosely connected to music. A challenge for sure, but if you love the obscure and have a heart for avant garde music you are welcome to this first ever reissue of a long time vanished record. Includes two bonus tracks.

Amazing Matcha Powder<3
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 3.5 oz (100g), Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 3.5 oz (100g)
Probably one of the best matcha powders I’ve tried off of Amazon. It had all the notes, umami, nuttiness, matcha flavor, natural sweeteners and a hint of bitterness. When I first opened the packaged it has a strong and good smelling matcha smell. It’s a super vibrant green and looks very creamy even as just a powder. There was no clumps visible and mixed with water super smoothly. The texture of the powder was on point. There was no weird gooeyness going on. Onto my second 100g bag now. Definitely my go to matcha powder now, will be buying as long as it is available.

Sweet & nutty😍
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 1.4 oz (40g), Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 1.4 oz (40g)
I actually like it I’m new to matcha so I’m starting with cheaper ones first I definitely recommend this! It’s so much different than the other ones I’ve gotten, it’s super sweet you literally don’t need any sweetener to it it tastes really good it’s nutty and buttery with sweetness I only rated it a 4 because I lowkey like my matcha bitter ish but I know many of you like it sweet it’s really green it’s a nice color the quality overall is great it’s smoothness and all its worth the money so definitely buy it! (I used Starbucks ice in the pic I didn’t purchase that obviously 😍)

From Someone Who Actually Drinks Japanese Matcha Regularly
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 1.4 oz (40g), Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 1.4 oz (40g)
After trying a lot of Amazon matcha brands, I honestly think people expecting this to taste super sweet or creamy might be misunderstanding what traditional Japanese matcha is supposed to taste like.
This one has more of that genuine, earthy, slightly umami flavor that I usually experience at Japanese matcha cafes. Mine was fresh, smooth, and produced a really delightful latte. It definitely wasn’t “fishy” like some reviews suggested.
I also noticed some people complained about bitterness, but using water that’s too hot can ruin almost any matcha. Once I prepared it correctly, the flavor was balanced and clean.
For the price, I actually think it’s a pretty solid everyday ceremonial-style matcha.

Ok for the price but not amazing
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 1.4 oz (40g)
It is fine for the price but has a bit of that unpleasant cheap matcha taste so wont be rebuying. Decent bitterness but not really creamy or sweet in my opinion. The color is good tho so aesthetically it is very pretty.

Best quality for price!
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 1.4 oz (40g)
One of the best ceremonial matcha powders I’ve ever tried! It blends and froths up so easily and it tastes like true authentic matcha. I was very surprised with the quality and so happy I found a new one.
