This 12" makes it a Sonar Kollektiv hat-trick for the track "Macedonia". Not only is the composition by DUSKO GOYKOVICH on the label compilation-cum-cookbook "Homecooking", the original was also selected for the recent „Focus Jazz – more modern Jazz from the Wewerka archive 1966-1969“ collection which JAZZANOVA compiled with STEPHAN STEIGLEDER. Now "Macedonia" is also available on 12" format in a cover version from THIRD EYE with whom further releases are planned on the label.

DUSKO GOYKOVICHs Album „Swinging Macedonia“ which came out on Philips in 1967 has always been a much sought after rarity and a favorite of the acid-jazz movement.
THIRD EYE changed the vibe of „Macedonia“. The original, with its minor candences and 5/8 time, is as brilliant as it is complicated. THIRD EYE gives a different feel to the tune; although in 4/4 it is no less flowing - indeed, many DJs will prefer the straight, however no less rythmic metre.

Two further originals from the HANS WEWERKA archive have been chosen for the B-side: „No Way“ by JOE HAIDER, who with his use of delay effects paved the way for trip-hop, and ERICH FERSTLs „All My Love Is Gone“ which didn't make it onto the „Focus Jazz“ collection but has been released as a download on the Sonar Kollektiv website.

It's great that THIRD EYE has made his debut on Sonar Kollektiv and it will be interesting to see what other fruits this collaboration will bear in the future!
