Artist: V/A Title: ...And Shiva Came for Charlie Format: LP Label: Ri Be Xibalba Country: USA Price: $32.00 |
| "This LP collects the monthly mp3 series hosted on the Ri Be Xibalba web site from June 2006 to June 2007. Each track was only available for one month and then deleted. In the midst of this, our friend Charles Gocher passed away. As an immediate reaction to this, I bumped Sir Richard Bishops track from the March slot and left the page silent in remembrance of Charlie. As all the artists in the series are based in Seattle, and many were good friends of Charlies, it was decided to dedicate this collection to his memory. These were the people around him most, and fittingly the album features images based on photographs of Charlie taken by his old friend Janet McCracken. Accompanying this is a 20-page booklet with a little about each artist here, many of which are still unjustly underappreciated in the larger scheme of things. Charlie himself was a unique human being. And of course rather than leave him in silence, it seemed better to represent him on this record in his voice, as he was rarely silent. So on this LP, alongside the mp3 tracks, is a previously unreleased Charles Gocher recording from the Sun City Girls archives. Unlike the other material on the album, which is quite contemporary, Charlies track dates from July 2, 1990 when it was recorded live on the air at CITR radio in Vancouver, B.C. As all but this track were previously available as free mp3s, and I just happened to have 320 useable black jacket left over from the Piano Bar release (which Charlie was quite thrilled by), this release is limited to that number of copies. The music on this release is quite varied. Experimental rock music from Factums and The Sea Donkeys, free jazz from Spider Trio and Michael Shannon, spoken word from Charles Gocher and Uncle Jim, acoustic guitar solos from Dave Knott and Michael Ohlenroth, creepy soundtracks from Wizard Prison and Sir Richard Bishop, Climax Golden Twins drone, Katharina Tunicatas catchy accordion and voice song and the utter disaster of Lung Wing not being able to play any instrument. Yet there are multiple connections between the various artists presented here, both musical and otherwise, not to mention a few players who appear on more than one track. This is a document of a group of friends and compatriots in Seattle who are poorer for the loss of our friend, but continue to create strong music. Includes a previously unreleased track by Charlies Gocher from 1990. Pressed on 120 gram vinyl manufactured in the USA by RTI. Hand screen printed covers and inner sleeves printed by Alan Sherry at Siwa. Includes 20-page booklet. Limited edition of 320 copies." - Ri Be Xibalba. |

"Garage band line-ups in varying degrees of post-punk musical destruction. Ericka Beckmans film matches the rawness, minimalism and radicalism of the music - a fitting document and visual statement of new forms created out of New Yorks anti-everything musical nihilism, circa 1979. 135 Grand Street, New York, 1979 is history. This is a film about bands made up of painters, filmmakers, actors - and occasionally musicians - thriving and thrashing in the pulsating, vibrant post-punk world of New York where high art met low culture. Ericka Beckman documented the cross-fertilizing art and music scene in New York in the mid-1970s. Her film captures the driving energy and posturing of early No Wave bands performing in a sparse downtown loft. Featured bands include Theoretical Girls, UT, A Band, Rhys Chatham, Chinese Puzzle, The Static, Morales, Youth in Asia, Morales, Steven Piccolo and Jill Kroesen. The film has been shown throughout the world as part of Sonic Youths Sensational Fix touring art exhibition as well as screening before Glenn Brancas shows in New York City (Sep 2009). The mid-price DVD comes in a thin-DVD case with booklet." "If you want to see what the Soho side of No Wave looked like this is the only place youre ever gonna find it." - Glenn Branca. Dual-sided DVD in both NTSC and PAL formats; 60 minutes.

Artist: V/A Title: 1970s Algerian Proto-Rai Underground Format: LP Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $28.00 |
|
"This is Raï music from Algeria as youve not heard it before. In the early 1970s, a new group of singers and musicians were operating on the northwest coast, and what they pioneered was a sound that eventually reached worldwide status by the end of the decade; however, their names are relatively unknown to this day outside Algeria. This crucial and defining period of the development of Raï is criminally ignored and overlooked by Algerian music historians and Raï fans. Due to censorship and government-controlled music diffusion, this scene and lyrical style was forced underground and banned from broadcasts, yet slowly built a small following around the seaside cabarets of Wahran (Oran). This period witnessed the rise of artists such as Groupe El Azhar ("The Flowers" group) and Messaoud Bellemou, who can comfortably be considered the godfather of the modern Raï sound. His group, LOrchestre Bellemou, rewrote a heritage of centuries by using modern instruments and especially the trumpet, which became, during the 1970s, the backbone of the Wahrani genre. Reinterpreting the gasba melodies on trumpet, Bellemou backed singers such as Boutaiba Sghir and Sheikh Benfissa who carried on the lyrical tradition of their forefathers singing about daily preoccupations and problems as well as love affairs, alcohol, or simply owning an automobile! Toward the late 1970s, Cheb Zergui brought a newer ingredient: an electric guitar with a wah-wah pedal. Thankfully, the late 1960s saw the development of vinyl pressing in Algeria. This new industry allowed many small artists including the Wahrani "scene" to record and release singles documenting their repertoire. This compilation is a selection of this proto-Raï scenes vinyl 45s. This LP is limited to a one-time pressing of 1500 copies on 180 gram vinyl and comes in a full-color deluxe gatefold jacket with photos of the musicians and informative liner notes by the man who compiled it, Hicham Chadly." -Sublime Frequencies.

| "Australian label Ascension Records is proud to announce the first digital release of some very rare post punk material from the M Squared label. Recorded between 1979 and 1983, these tracks were either given very limited cassette release or were unreleased prior to the intervention of German label Vinyl On Demand in 2009.

With the assistance of Ascension Records (who issued the very well received box of M Squareds slightly higher profile material, Terrace Industry in 2010) the lovingly remastered material has now been repackaged for the turntable-deprived among us, in high quality digital formats. The 2xCD set first volume includes tracks from SCATTERED ORDER, PATRICK GIBSON, A CLOAKROOM ASSEMBLY, THE MAKERS OF THE DEAD TRAVEL FAST, THE SYSTEMATICS, HEIGHT/DISMAY, PROD, EAST END BUTCHERS, A VOLATILE T SHIRT, and SHANE FAHEY." - Ascension. |

| "Recognized as one of the truly great comps of all time, this 1979 selection of 60s U.S. hard guitar-psych, compiled by the owner of a record shop in Berlin, has often been reissued on CD with the wrong tracklisting and non-existent liner notes. Originally released on LP, only 77 copies were pressed and apart from a few that were given to friends and family, the remaining records were only sold through the compilers shop or shamelessly bootlegged. Unavailable on either LP or CD for years, the Past & Present label are pleased to make this important compilation available again. This reissue, which stays faithful to the original, comes with an 8-page booklet detailing each of the 18 tracks. Acid Dreams proved that punk rock was not a new thing; kids had adopted the same snotty attitude in the mid-to-late 60s. The opening track, White Lights "William," sets the standard for whats to come: a compulsive, classic, hard guitar-psych 45 rocker and 17 more psych diamonds follow in its wake. A true gem mined and polished by Past & Present. Artists include: White Light, Caretakers Of Deception, Outcasts, The Music Machine, Mystic Tide, Stereo Shoestrings, Velvet Illusions, Unrelated Segments, Beautiful Daze, Painted Faces, Teddy & His Patches, Vejtables, Faine Jade, Balloon Farm, Minds Eye, Zakary Thaks, Remaining Few." -Past & Present |

Artist: V/A Title: African Scream Contest - Raw & Psychedelic Afro Sounds Format: CD Label: Analog Africa Country: Germany Price: $21.00 |
| "From Benin & Togo 70s. Spectacular package with thick 44-page booklet and slipcase packaging. This CD is licensed for release in the U.S. later in 2008, unsure if it will have the same deluxe packaging... "Just like with the labels first two releases -- albums by Zimbabwean 70s bands the Green Arrows and Hallelujah Chicken Run Band -- the essence of Analog Africa is clear yet again: searching in dusty warehouses for forgotten music to keep it alive. All the tracks have been officially licensed, usually from the artists who Ben Redjeb also met with for detailed research. He conducted 16 interviews in various cities in Benin and Togo with artists, producers and sound engineers to reconstruct the history of the 70s music scene for the 44-page booklet which also includes many rare photographs directly received from the artists. Like most modern music in French-speaking West African countries, the music of Benin and Togo was influenced by a few main musical currents: Cuban, Congolese and local traditional music, as well as Chanson Francaise. Additionally, the geographical location of Benin and Togo -- sandwiched between Ghana and Nigeria -- exposed Beninese and Togolese musicians to Highlife music. The cultural and spiritual riches of traditional Beninese music had an immense impact on the sound of Benins modern music. Benin is the birth place of Vodun (or, as it is known in the West, Voodoo), and some of the rhythms used during traditional rituals -- Sakpata, Sato, Agbadja, Tchenkoumé and many others -- were fused to soul and Latin music as early as the mid-1960s and later to funk. That fusion is the essence of this compilation. In the late 60s and early 70s, rock and soul music started creeping into the region. In particular, the music of James Brown and Johnny Halladay became immensely popular with university students. It was then that the music scene in Benin really started to take off. What made this musical revolution even more interesting is that most of the musicians could not read music. Often the music they made sounded one semi-tone away from being out of tune, but somehow they always managed to bring all the elements together into something new and exciting. One of the greatest bands of their era, Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou, who are featured on this compilation, took the Afro sound to another level by showing their musical versatility in many forms. Although they were consciously copying Western artists, they would always inject a dose of psychedelic Afro grooves that would make their music unmistakably Beninese. Their biggest song, Gbeti Madjro is believed to have revolutionized the music industry in Benin in the 70s when the country went through a period of political turmoil. The song is full of raw breaks and the hypnotic rhythms as well as screams à la James Brown -- after this song, many bands in Benin started screaming on their recordings, hence the title of this compilation. Latin-influenced sounds are present on this compilation, too. Ouidah, a city on the Atlantic coast of Benin, is home to a large Brazilian community, or, as they are called in Benin, Agoudas. Members of that community are descendents of slaves who returned from Brazil at the end of the 19th century. Their dances (such as Kaléta and Buriyanj) and songs are still being performed and fused into the traditional Beninese rituals. That, too, can be heard in modern Beninese music. The proximity of the giant neighbor Nigeria can be heard on the track Djanfa Magni which features the amazing trumpeter/ saxophonist Tidjani Koné fronting the Orchestre Poly-Rythmo. Koné whose career started in Mali as the founder and band leader of the Rail Band de Bamako, had played with Fela Kuti for a short while hence the strong Afrobeat influence. There are countless stories to be discovered in the extremely well-researched booklet and the music is truly mind-blowing. So delve into the forgotten raw and psychedelic Afro sounds from 70s Benin and Togo and experience the African Scream Contest." -Analog Africa |

Artist: V/A Title: An Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music Volume 1 Format: Triple LP Label: Sub Rosa Country: Belgium Price: $39.00 |
| "Subtitled: First A-Chronology 1921-2001. At last, the Sub Rosa label issues the highly-acclaimed Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music collection on vinyl -- 3LPs housed in a luxurious triple gatefold sleeve. Containing early and contemporary classics as well as pieces that had never been heard before. Volume 1 begins in the 1920s with the Russolo brothers, and examines each decade in turn -- Varèse, Cage, Schaeffer, Xenakis, the great pioneers crafting the first traces of a music that was markedly revolutionary: electronic music, created from nothing and an artifice without boundary that was to be entirely invented. Whereas composers such as Stockhausen, Berio and Pousseur had come from Serialism and began making electronic music as a continuation of their work with traditional instruments, others such as Boehmer and Oliveros immediately began composing using electronic bases. There were those who invented new methods, like Schaeffer and musique concrète, others were outsiders, revolutionaries and visionaries like Xenakis and Cage, and still others who derived their sound from Dadaism, the complex forms of free-jazz, John Coltrane, the acoustic and electronic improvisation scene, alternative rock, psychedelic and industrial music, the German Krautrock wave of the 1970s, and so on. The contemporary generation of electronic musicians on volume 1 are DJs, reinventors of drones, painters and sculptors using sound as a process, and maverick software creators. An absolute must for anyone interested in the roots and history of electronic music, now in a beautiful deluxe triple vinyl package including liner notes. Other artists include: Walter Ruttmann, Gordon Mumma, Angus Maclise, Tony Conrad, Philip Jeck, Otomo Yoshihide and Martin Tétreault, Survival Research Laboratories, Einstürzende Neubauten, Nam June Paik, Sonic Youth, DJ Spooky, and Ryoji Ikeda." -Sub Rosa |

| "In a rare moment of synchronicity, all 6 volumes of this series have been repressed and are in stock all at once... "Sub Rosa presents part 1 of a vast anthology of noise and electronic music to be released during the next years in seven volumes. An Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music Vol. 1 begins in the 1920s, with the Russolo Brothers, and looks at each decade in turn -- Varése, Cage, Schaeffer, Xenakis, the great pioneers -- and shows the first traces of a music that was necessarily revolutionary: electronic music, created from nothing (and hence to be entirely invented). Some pieces on these CDs are certainly classics, but there are others, which, though old, were distributed informally or never even released. The more contemporary pieces are, wherever possible, previously unreleased. In fact, more than the half of what we listen here is unreleased and unpublished. This 2xCD comes as a Digipak with 24 page booklet."

Artist: V/A Title: An Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music Volume 2 Format: Triple LP Label: Sub Rosa Country: Belgium Price: $35.00 |
| "Sub Rosa issues the highly-acclaimed Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music collection on vinyl, containing all of the music on the 2CD version -- 3LPs housed in a luxurious triple gatefold sleeve. The story continues with volume 2, featuring slow explorations of the past and the present. Given the present system of production, there are reasons, some of them identifiable, why only a few names emerge in each period. There may also be a preference for concentrating information rather than letting it pile up in disordered fashion. Over the past 40 years, the same ten electronic music composers get mentioned again and again (including in music dictionaries and histories). Yet behind them are many other names. Who are they? Second-raters? Not necessarily. For we then need to define the concept of top-rate (rated by who, and on what criteria?) and second-rate or minor artist. Great pleasure can be derived from the works of minor artists. The case of Tod Dockstader is instructive: when "for lack of academic qualifications" he was denied access to the electronic music facilities he needed, was there not great beauty in the pieces he nevertheless created and in his determination to make music without those facilities? His name was never seen on the labels of top record companies. But he influenced quite a few people -- Richard James quoted him, and others then referred to his work. Some of his records were reissued, and what one could call the rehabilitation process continues. The same applies to many other composers. All such stories spell a passion for music, and weave myth. At the turn of the century, there were efforts to find new sources of sound -- a number of machines were exhibited, including Thaddeus Cahiels Telharmonium in 1887 and the Dynamophone presented to the New York public in 1906; they generally played well-known romantic or post-romantic pieces. After a few flamboyant skirmishes described in the previous volume, the postwar period saw the arrival in 1951, of Wladimir Ussachevsky and Otto Luening in New Yorks Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. When audiences of the 50s and 60s first heard Varèse, Pousseur, Stockhausen, Berio, Ussachevsky, Yuasa, Dockstader and Mumma, what did they feel? Perhaps a sort of break -- an epistemological break, like it must have been for the first audience of Monteverdis Orfeo. They left the auditorium completely stunned, because they had never heard anything like it. Artists on volume 2 include: Wladimir Ussachevsky + Otto Luening, Autechre, Luc Ferrari, Laibach, Alan R. Splet, SPK, Tod Dockstader, Johanna M. Beyer, Morton Subotnick, Captain Beefheart, Robin Rimbaud/Scanner, Hugh Davies, Daphne Oram, Sun Ra, Kim Cascone, Yoshihiro Hanno, Meira Asher, Woody McBride, Lasse Steen/Choose, Arcane Devices, and Percy Grainger." -Sub Rosa |

Artist: V/A Title: An Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music Volume 4 Format: Double CD Label: Sub Rosa Country: Belgium Price: $19.00 |
| "2010 repress, originally released 2006. Sub Rosa presents the fourth volume of the highly-acclaimed and successful Anthology of Noise & Electronic Music series. This installment promises to be the pivoting axis in the seven volume set, with 75% rare tracks and music never before heard. In the previous three anthologies, Sub Rosa outlined the historical sites at the advent of concrete and electronic music: Pierre Schaeffers workshop studio (Vol. 1), the Princeton Electronic Music Center in Columbia, New York (Vol. 2), and the WDR Studio in Cologne (Vol. 3). After the pioneering work of these formative studios, their was a quick worldwide development of similar-intent facilities, popping up throughout Europe and America, but also in Brazil, Mexico and Japan -- countries where there was a will to create music that was radically new. This compilation features a classic cadre of artists from all over the globe, who are true cultural instigators in the field of electronic sound experimentation. Including new creations from China, Brazil, Norway and Hungary, as well as some classic and unpublished material from legendary composers such as Ligeti and Lucier and very rare documents from Robert Wyatt and François Bayle. Like the previous three volumes, this fourth installment is an absolute must for anyone interested in the roots and history of electronic music. The 2CD comes in a deluxe digipack with an informative 40-page booklet. Featuring: Steve Reich, Gyorgy Ligeti, William Burroughs, Alvin Lucier, Olivier Messiaen, Vibracathedral Orchestra, François Bayle, Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers, James Whitehead, Loop Orchestra, Halim el-Balh, Jean-Claude Risset, Beatriz Ferreyra, Maja Ratkje, Laurie Spiegel 6, Stephen Vitiello, Erik M, Wang Changcun, Chlorgeschlecht, Gottfried Michael Koenig, Milan Knizak, Rallizes Denudes, Andy Hawkins, John Watermann and Jean-Marc Vivenza." -Sub Rosa |

Artist: V/A Title: An Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music Volume 5 Format: Double CD Label: Sub Rosa Country: Belgium Price: $19.00 |
| "2010 repress, originally released 2008. Sub Rosa presents the fifth volume of the highly-acclaimed and successful Anthology of Noise & Electronic Music series. This installment highlights pieces illustrating a technique (Claude Ballifs "Points, Mouvements"), a country ("Shur, Op. 15" by Alireza Mashayekhi), a studio (Helmut Lachenmann at the IPEM), and historic (François Bernard Mâches "Prélude"), and radical ("Spectrum Ripper" by Masonna/Yamazaki "Maso" Takushi) works that have ripped apart ancient definitions. All this organized with internationalism in mind and, for once, a focus on the voice -- not as sung words, their traditional facet in music (from pop songs to lieder and operas), but as the word itself, recited, distorted, rendered abstract or disaggregated and screamed (the incantation so often a part of rock and noise music). Like the previous four volumes, this fifth installment is an absolute must for anyone interested in the roots and history of electronic music, with many previously unpublished, rare tracks comprising more than 2 ½ hours of music. The 2CD comes in a deluxe digipack sleeve with an extensive 54-page booklet. Other artists include: Charlemagne Palestine, Pere Ubu, Sutcliffe Jügend, Li Chin Sung aka Dickson Dee, Rogelio Sosa, Christian Galaretta, Richard Maxfield, Wolf Vostell, André Boucourechliev, Mauricio Kagel, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Raoul Hausmann, Gil Joseph Wolman, Leo Kupper, Josef Anton Riedl, Sten Hanson + Henri Chopin, Dajuin Yao, Ground Zero, Club Moral and Dub Taylor." -Sub Rosa |

Artist: V/A Title: An Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music Volume 6 Format: Double CD Label: Sub Rosa Country: Belgium Price: $19.00 |
| "Sub Rosa presents the sixth volume and penultimate installment of the highly-acclaimed and successful Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music series. As usual, it culls old historical pieces, little-known gems, and even a few previously-unreleased tracks from the greatest Japanoise bands, a few representatives of the younger generations (from all around the world), and some rare tracks from the 80s, and it all ends with a lull that lets transpire what may be felt as a kind of indefinable mystery. The avant-garde ushered in the possibility of a new music, then it scattered into small communities whose best-known protagonists are totally unknown to people outside that particular circle. We are facing this fragmentation, and one form of avant-garde ends up scattered into several (not exclusively musical) forms. It is not in avant-gardes nature to create one elementary form for each individual. Other phrases used include "forays," "breakthroughs," "pushing the envelope," and then, of course, "going too far." Tracks on this sixth volume comprise more than 2 1/2 hours of music, with many rare and unpublished tracks. Housed in a 2CD digipack sleeve, including a 52-page booklet full of notes and biographical info. Artists include: Tetsuo Furudate, Stephen O Malley (Sunn O)))), Pain Jerk, Zev, Hijokaidan, John Duncan, Manuel Rocha Iturbide, Robert Piotrowicz, Incapacitants, Sachiko M, Torturing Nurse, Israël Martinez, Ata Ebtekar/Sote, Daniel Menche, John Wiese, Joseph Nechvatal, Henry Cowell, Pain Barrier, Julie Rousse, Dick Raaymakers, Ultraphonist, Tzvi Avni, Else Marie Pade, ILIOS, Bird Palace/Cristian Vogel + Pablo Palacio, and Stummer + Liesl Ujvary.s" -Sub Rosa |

Artist: V/A Title: Angola Soundtrack Format: Double LP Label: Analog Africa Country: Germany Price: $26.00 |
| "Deluxe gatefold 2LP version. Subtitled: The Unique Sound Of Luanda 1968-1976. The nascent Angolan music scene was set on fire by a small group of intrepid singers, backed by an array of super-tight bands and led by extraordinary guitarists who revolutionized the musical and the political panorama of the 60s and 70s. A powerful confluence of traditional rhythms from Luandas islands, psychedelic guitar sounds imported from neighboring Congo, Latin grooves, old school Caribbean merengue and the hard beat of the Angolan carnival bands conspired to create the modern music of Angola. These sounds were immortalized by two excellent recording companies -- Fadiang (Fábrica De Discos Angolano) and Valentim de Carvalho. The great electric bands of Angola were a well-kept secret until the late 90s when France-based music label Buda Musique released a short-lived series of Angolan music compiled by Ariel de Bigault. Inspired and taken aback, the releases proved to be a pivotal juncture for Analog Africas founder Samy Ben Redjeb. From the nine Analog Africa releases thus far, Angola Soundtrack has been the most difficult to create. The travel visa was in itself a struggle and logistically and financially, Luanda is a nightmare. After two unsuccessful years, Samy eventually found shelter at a home in Prenda, a musseque (township) outside of the capital. With the support of Zé Keno, the legendary guitarist of Jovens Do Prenda, he managed to meet most of the composers of the tunes presented here. The anecdotes they provided are numerous. Boto Trindade, guitarist of Os Bongos, abandoned his dream of becoming a football player to support his brothers family by earning money as a musician. A very young Zé Keno went to see his favorite guitarist Marito performing with Os Kiezos and consequently built a three-stringed guitar only to become one of the most sought-after guitarists in the country a mere few years later. Angolan music is truly unique and stands on its own as a sound that can only be found in that part of the world. Rhythms such rebita, kazucuta, semba and merengue, all of which are presented in this latest compilation, might be unfamiliar, but they are superbly melodic, highly danceable, hypnotic, raw and quintessentially beautiful and totally addictive." -Analog Africa |

Artist: V/A Title: Anthology of Dutch Electronic Tape Music, Volume 2 1966-1977 Format: Double CD Label: Basta Country: Netherlands Price: $23.00 |
| "This second volume of the Anthology of Electronic Tape Music contains works composed after 1966, when electronic music broadened its horizons and established links with other disciplines, as studios opened their portals to influences and involvement from outside. Although electronic music after 1966 became very fragmented and took many new forms in Holland, Volume 2 of the Anthology aims to provide an overall survey of pure tape music. Other movements, such as computer music, and their links with each other are discussed in the liner notes. We have attempted to offer groundbreaking and influential works as well as first electronic works by pioneering composers. Volume 2 presents composers not represented on Volume 1. Jacob Cats, Tera de Marez Oyens, Jos Kunst, Gilius van Bergeijk, Frans van Doorn, Thomas Arras, Simeon ten Holt, Victor Wentink, Louis Andriessen, Peter Smith and Tony van Campen." -Basta |

Artist: V/A Title: Arktinen Hysteria: Suomi-avantgarden Esipuutarhureita Format: CD Label: Love Country: Finland Price: $15.00 |
| ⿿The Arktinen Hysteria compilation that came out in November 2001 was compiled by Jukka Lindfors, based on his series of radio documentaries for Finnish Broadcasting Company. Together here are gathered for the first time some seminal tracks usually considered the milestones of early Finnish electronic music; being the real predecessors of the sounds of Mika Vainio, Pan sonic & et al.; combined with some rarities and previously unpublished tracks. The album concentrates mostly around the output of the now-legendary Love Records label, varying from electronic music to avantgarde sounds, free-jazz and experimental rock. Here one can witness some truly timeless electronic pioneering works, delving into the real Finnish analogue roots of glitch, clicks & cuts and even modern laptop sounds. Artists include: M.A. Numminen, Tommi Parko, Pekka Kujanpää (future underground guru M.A. Numminen and his cohorts burping and gurgling to a simple blues theme playing in the background, as part of this home-made tape recorded in 1961), M.A. Numminen & Sähkökvartetti (Holy Grail of Finnish electronic music, creepy-sounding and even hymn-like, with wailing and sounding like electronic insects), Tommi Parko (avantgardistic pranks), Erkki Salmenhaara (sounds like a constant switching of dial between radio stations: snippets of orchestral sounds, reverberated electronics, harpsichord, piano etudes, whatever), Blues Section (the territory of backwards tapes, tape loops and other "mind-blowing" sonic regalia of the late 60s), Erkki Kurenniemi (This could be something by Hecker of Mego Records, only 30 years before laptops), Jukka Ruohomäki (non-machine-like electronic pop music), Jouni Kesti & Seppo I. Laine (Pure noise inferno of explosions and chaos), The Sperm (a combination of an experimental rock group and a provocative performance group, features undecipherable vocals mumbling, screeching, murmuring, screaming utter nonsense), J.O. Mallander (Dadaist piece of conceptual art, an aural counterpart to what Andy Warhol did with his movies of repeated boredom), The Sperm (a free-for-all melee of cacophony, like some collective lunatic asylum art therapy), Pekka Airaksinen (murky sauna hut sound expressions, total antimusic and again, totally ageless), S. Albert Kivinen (This aleatoric assault is about the then-US Vice President Spiro Agnew). - Love. Amazing CD of LAFMS-type sounds, but recorded 10-20 years earlier! With thick, indepth booklet of photos and text (in english and finnish). Highly recommended!! |

|
Incredible set of 3 boxes, each with 7LPs in it, from the Alga Marghen archives. These are all previously released LPs, but most have been o/p for many years now. The boxes are limited to a numbered edition of 80 copies each. "The VocSon series might be identified as the starting point of all the Alga Marghen activities. This series, which still continues to present on limited LP records the most advanced international vocal experiments, is mainly dedicated to the documentation of sound poetry. Since most of the titles immediately sold out, Alga Marghen decided to issue a kind of anthology, specially issued for ArtBasel where Alga Marghen will present its catalog following an invitation by Maurizio Nannucci of the Artists Record Pavillion. This also in order to give the opportunity to those who missed the-now-rare original editions to be able to find them now, even if in a very limited run. Each LP is numbered on the VocSon innersleeve expressly conceived for this edition. This luxury boxset edition actually includes the first 7 LPs issued for the VocSon series, or:
1) Bernard Heidsieck Poème-Partition X LP. First 80 copies from the original 300 copies edition issued in 1997. The very early experimental poem by Bernard Heidsieck may be considered one of his first important creations. The record which started the VocSon series.
2) Henri Chopin Cantata for Two Farts & Co. LP. Edition of 80 copies with new labels. Henri Chopin presents previously unreleased audiopoems as well as the reprint of two pieces from the Radiotaxi LP (the tracks taken from Radiotaxi are here presented for the first time mastered at the correct speed).
3) Bernard Heidsieck Vaduz LP. Edition of 80 copies with new labels. Vaduz (12:23) can be considered one of Bernard Heidsiecks major works. Very experimental with a lot of electronic manipulations. According to Henri Chopin, this is the only true audiopoem by Heidsieck. Composed June to December 1974 and recorded on a Revox A 700 at the authors studio.
4) Philip Corner Word-Voices LP. First 80 copies from the original 500 copies edition issued in 1997. A record LP of vocal utterances including early Fluxus voice and instrumental pieces. 5) Henri Chopin Les Mirifiques Tundras & Co.. Original pre-released edition of 80 copies on yellow vinyl, never offered before. Extreme voice sound manipulations. Somehow in the vein of Hodell Text-Sound composition, just more primitive and visceral.
6) Sten Hanson The Sonosopher Retrospective LP. First 80 copies from the original 545 copies edition issued in 1998. An anthology of Sten Hanson Text-Sound composition. This edition pre-dates the anthologized CDs which were issued in Sweden.
7) Ake Hodell 220 Volts Buddha LP. First 80 copies from the original 545 copies edition issued in 1998. Fantastic electronic music LP. The pieces on this LP were included in the 3CD anthology issued by Fylkingen. Your chance to get the original edition on LP now." - Alga Marghen.

| Second volume of the Avant MarghenVocSon series, numbered edition of 80 copies. "This luxury boxset edition actually includes the second group of 7 LPs issued for the VocSon series: 1) Brion Gysins Poems Of Poems LP. First 80 copies from the original 630 copies edition issued in 1998. Very early poetical experimentation recorded in 1958 at the Beat Hotel, Paris. The origins of cut-up are documented in this radical edition. You will experience why Brion Gysin was a strong reference for Henri Chopin and Bernard Heidsieck. 2) Bernard Heidsieck 50/70 LP. First 80 copies from the original 480 copies edition issued in 1998. The third Bernard Heidsieck LP issued by Alga Marghen draws the picture of two specific moments on artistic creation: the 1950s and the 1970s. 3) Jose Luis Castillejo The Book of is LP. First 80 copies from the original 240 copies edition issued in 1998. Very limited and immediately sold out edition of Castillejo conceptual recordings. Jose Luis Castillejo books always included him among the Concrete Poems and were regarded as very special graphic creations. A deep exploration of his abstract and radical poetry will lead to a more conceptual and philosophical understanding as this LP clearly states. 4) Jil G. Wolman Lanticoncept LP. Edition of 80 copies with new labels. Edition of Gil J Wolman megapneums, or the beginning of the whole sonic adventures. If Gysin was a strong conceptual influence for the Henri Chopin and Bernard Heidsieck generation, Wolman was showing them the sonic direction. Just with the use of the breath and respiration, his Megapneums had the same intensity of the electronic manipulation that will make Chopins audiopoems so radically new and uncompromising. This LP also include excerpts from Wolman sound-film LAnticoncept from 1952. 5) Isidore Isou Poèmes Lettristes 1944-99 LP. Edition of 80 copies with new labels. Historical edition by Isidore Isou. This is the first record LP ever published by the father of Lettrism. Poems from 1944 to 1999 including a breath taking improvisation, some 1970s recordings by Maurice Lemaitre and an early, primitive and incredible performance by Francois Dufrene. Recorded at Isous apartement in 1999. 6) Juan Hidalgo Una Voz LP. First 80 copies from the original 323 copies edition issued in 2000. First ever ZAJ LP record! An historical recording of Juan Hidalgo Una Voz, including concrete sound interventions by Walter Marchetti. A large size booklet with the transcription in English and Spanish of the spoken text is also included. Capital! 7) Arrigo Lora-Totino Fonemi LP. First 80 copies from the original 345 copies edition issued in 2000. Arrigo Lora-Totino is probably best known for having been the editor of the famous sound poetry anthology issued by Cramps Records in the 1970s with the title Futura. But only a few know about his sound poetry production. Following Henri Chopins idea that poetry is above all an expression of the body through its own language, Lora-Totino started his important poetic practice in 1965 with Fonemi, a sound sample of erasure: the reading of a text recorded on tape is filtered through an electronic pulse generator that splits it into small fragments." - Alga Marghen. |

This LP includes previously unreleased audiopoems dating from 1965 to 1981. 7) Ben Patterson A Fluxus Elegy LP. First 80 copies from the original 345 copies edition issued in 2006. This Ben Patterson composition, issued on is based on the basic principles of the polyphonic music of the Bantu tribes of West and Central Africa. First principle: the practice of interlocking individual pitches or tones performed by one person into spaces between other pitches or tones performed by another person, thus alternating pitches or tones of one part with those of another part to create a whole. Second principle: use of cyclical and open-ended forms involving one or more ostinato melodic/rhythmic pattern as a foundation. Third principle: community participation... non-specialists are encouraged to join in long performances with much repetition. Fourth principle: rhythmic complexity with the juxtaposition of double and triple patterns, multiple layering of different patterns, and interaction between a core foundation and improvised parts. And, most important, the family ownership of a specific tone: in the musical culture of these tribes, each ancestral family owns and is responsible for one or more specific tones, which must be sounded at specific points, sequencing with the many other specific tones owned by other families, to create a seamless melody. Ben Patterson made a music based on this information by taking the initials of artists listed in Fluxus: The Most Radical and Experimental Art Movement of the Sixties and encoding them in basic International Morse Code. These dots and dashes were then performed on a Yamaha DJX keyboard (voice pattern setting), connected to a Digitech JamMan Looper (over-dub setting), connected to an Eurorack MX 602A mixer. Front cover reproducing the original score." - Alga Marghen. |

Artist: V/A Title: Avant Marghen Vol. 4 Format: 7 LP Box Set Label: Alga Marghen Country: Italy Price: $185.00 |
| "New volume of the Avant Marghen series in a numbered edition of 80 copies. This luxury black boxset edition actually includes the fourth group of 7 LPs previously issued for the VocSon series and now sold out. Each individual LP record includes a numbered Avant Marghen inner-sleeve. LP 1 to 4) François Dufrene Oeuvre Désintégrale 4 LP set. First 80 copies from the original pressing of 345 copies issued in 2007, presented here with minimal hand-elaboration on each sleeve. François Dufrenes impressive work, along with that of Gil J. Wolman and Brion Gysin, was a strong influence for experimental poets like Henri Chopin, Bernard Heidsieck and Ake Hodell. LP1) Oeuvre Désintégrale 1 LP includes an 18-minute-long crirythme from 1969 as well as Osmose-art, a long piece from 1969 divided into two suites where Dufrene superimposes his crirhythms to classical music. LP2) Oeuvre Désintégrale 2 LP includes six majestic crirythmes (created between 1965 and 1976) as well as Eryximaque, suite choreographique au Tombeau de Pierre Larusse, a work halfway between the written text and the sound poem whose unity is achieved through Dufrene performing it, a masterpiece of synthesis of active poetry. LP3) Oeuvre Désintégrale 3 LP includes two Lecture-collages dating from 1965, adding jazz music (especially drum and percussion pieces) to poems marked by strong Lettristic esthetic. One of his most extreme crirythmes, titled Belles nuisances, hantez nos nuits, dating from 1970, is also included on this record. LP4) Oeuvre Désintégrale 4 LP includes three breathtaking crirythmes as well as two Comptinuum from his early on-progress works started in 1958. LP5) Charlemagne Palestine Voice Studies LP, limited to 80 numbered copies pressed on dark blue vinyl and featuring a new sleeve, only available with this boxset edition. Palestines introduction to music or sound was first with his own voice. This LP includes the very early Surrealistic Studies, using a Webcor reel-to-reel tape recorder, discovering a technique of shouting into the microphone and immediately pulling it out, creating an interior echo chamber where the sound would turn around on itself, changing and distorting. Voice + Piano Study I & II are short and beautiful piano improvisations with tape superimposition of accelerated voice pieces. In Voice Study Charlemagne sings in a falsetto duet with himself on two separate tracks in a resonant space, searching for intervals that resonate together and respond like electronic sound wave oscillators played against each other. LP6) Gherasim Luca Two Poems LP. First 80 copies from the original pressing of 385 copies issued in 2009. Created in close connection to Sten Hanson who invited the Rumenian artist at Fylkingen in the very beginning of the 1970s and made him discover the possibilities of the advanced EMS electronic music studio of Stockholm. The two recordings presented here are quite unique as they are the only poems by Gherasim Luca created through the use of electronic manipulations. Autres Secrets Du Vide Et Du Plein (April 1971) and Crimes Sens Initiales (April 1972) were both performed at the 1971 and 1972 Text-Sound Festivals of Stockholm. Including an essay by Henri Chopin. LP7) Charlemagne Palestine & Simone Forti Illuminations LP. First 80 copies from the original pressing of 365 copies issued in 2010. Duo interactions, illuminated with dim red lights. The three previously unreleased recordings on this LP were made between October and December 1971." - Alga Marghen. |

Artist: V/A Title: Bay Area Retrograde (BART) Vol 1 Format: LP Label: Dark Entries Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "Bay Area Retrograde (BART) Volume 1 is Dark Entries first compilation of underground music from San Francisco (and the greater Bay Area) in the 1980s. Towards the end of the 70s, San Francisco experimental music clashed with the aftermath of punk and gave birth to a vibrant underground scene. By the early to mid 80s the DIY music scene of the Bay Area was a hotbed for experimental and quirky new wave, post punk, and synthpop, quite similar to New Yorks No Wave scene and Berlins Neue Deutsche Welle. This compilation literally connects the (transit) lines between these varied musical offerings and tells the secret story of eleven forgotten Bay Area bands and contains four previously unreleased tracks on vinyl, until now! BART Volume 1 features a Korg-heavy assault from Danvilles utterly obscure Nominal State; two little-known left-field electronic dance gems from Batang Frisco and Quiet Room; Berkeleys answer to darkwave, Necropolis of Love; a synth-driven drama fest from drag performance troupe Wasp Women; quirky lo-fi gothic pop from one man band Distant Thunder; a gay Hi-NRG anthem delivered by Danny Boy and the Serious Party Gods; two lesser know gems from SF synth legends Voice Farm and Los Microwaves; and the futuristic pulsing synth-punk of Standard of Living and the Units. All tracks have been carefully remastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each LP is housed in a large 6-panel fold out poster by with liner notes by Johnny Ray Huston, original photos, fliers and artwork documenting this fertile period. BART is more widely know as the acronym for Bay Area Rapid Transit, the main rail transportation system for the San Francisco Bay Area and the band on this compilation. This LP is by no means a definitive compilation but merely opens the tunnel to the underground sounds of the Bay!" - Dark Entries. |

Artist: V/A Title: Beáta Móri Message: Young Contemporary Hungarian Composers For Cimbalom Format: CD Label: Hungaroton Country: Hungary Price: $19.00 |
| Featured works: Ilona Mesko (*1981): Mill Songs; Short Pieces; Poesie. Peter Zombola (*1983): Preludium; Institutio I/A. Mate Bella: Message; Messag 02. Balazs Horvath (1942 ? 2006): Gritty Street - for the 65th anniversary of Z. Jeney; Further Series. Daniel Dinyes: Ouverture, Air, Double. Marton Kerekfy: Rhapsody. Performed by Beáta Móri, cimbalom, Krisztina Dobner, flute, Zsolt Bartek, clarinet. "It was the 20th century when the international fame and recognition of the cimbalom started to grow exponentially. Today, a wide choice awaits musicians ranging from being an independent soloist of a concerto to playing in the most varied chamber ensembles. The relationship between composers and musicians works ideally; new compositions are played by outstanding experts and, in turn, cimbalom players abound in new pieces. What is more, as it is also demonstrated by our present recording, it is still possible to say something new through the cimbalom. Here, eleven pieces composed by six young composers will have been heard in the rendition of Beáta Móri, who -- despite her youth -- can already take pride in having several dedications." - Hungaroton. |

"Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, George Mitchell recorded extensively in the South. Mitchell concentrated mainly on local blues traditions, recording some famous bluesmen and many otherwise ignored artists. The George Mitchell Collection was originally released as a series of forty-five EPs on Fat Possum; this LP contains our favorite fourteen tracks. This LP represents songs from many well-known blues musicians such as Fred McDowell, Furry Lewis and Joe Calicott as well as some from criminally under-represented artists like Jessie Mae Hemphill, Rosa Lee Hill and John Lee Ziegler. Comes with a short booklet of photos, discographical notes and recollections." -Mississippi.

Artist: V/A Title: Bellyachers, Listen: Songs From East Africa, 1938-46 Format: Double LP Label: Honest Jons Country: UK Price: $21.00 |
| "This is part 1 of a 2LP set of vinyl versions of Honest Jons Something Is Wrong: Vintage Recordings From East Africa CD compilation -- selections from an HMV run of more than 400 78s -- recordings made in Uganda and Kenya from the mid‐1930s to the mid‐1950s. Part 1 encompasses this material circa 1938-1946, entitled Bellyachers, Listen: Songs From East Africa, 1938-46. Three main types of performance are featured (not forgetting a lovely early Kenyan big‐band calypso, as if straight from the pen of Lord Kitchener). Most are minstrelsy, with songs ranging dazzlingly through subjects including loneliness and death, bastards and cut‐off trousers, trains of fire and no‐good rich people, a murder mystery and a drunken punch‐up at a rumba party in Kampala, and metaphorical cocks, hard pedalling and kettles which wont boil. Other minstrels accompany themselves on various sorts of lyre, and guitars carrying the influences of U.S. country music and Congolese 78s, the influx of Congolese musicians, and the harmonies of Christian church music. There are also tough, raw contributions on button‐accordion and taarab music from the Swahili‐speaking communities of the east coast, and Arab and Indian communities in ports like Mombasa, which had imported Egyptian and Indian music since almost the start of the century. Lilting melodies are provided by violins or Indian harmoniums, sometimes also an oud, along with Indian or Arab percussion. Luxuriously presented, in a gatefold sleeve, with full notes, including extensive translation and haunting photographs. Recordings brilliantly restored at Abbey Road." -Honest Jons |

Artist: V/A Title: Beniffer Editions Winter Anthology Format: 2 Cass/Book Label: Beniffer Editions Country: Canada Price: $40.00 |
| "96 page monster book featuring the visual smegma of Jacob Horwood and Andrew Zukerman and more! Contains Ayal Seniors The Last Screenplay, an unabridged, unwound stammer through his 340972 film ideas, an instant classic, really... The book includes a 4-way split over 2 cassettes, featuring Man Made Hill (Canada), Dolphins into the Future (Belgium), Lead Sister II (Japan) and Crown Now (USA)... Man Made Hill is all of the Jackson 5 (even the dead one) channeled through one white-man with his sub-par pawn-shop electronics and extensive knowledge of "avant-aesthetics". This is guilt-free dance music. Dolphins into the Future is Lieven Martens of Imvated, or whatever label hes doing right now, a reformed nude-noise ruffian now turned onto the New Age by the holographic entities of Jung, Gurdjieff and Watts and trying to replicate the sound a dolphin makes in a napolitaner carton filled with peroxide. Lead Sister II is a one-man Kemialliset Ystavat forging new directions with a battery of home-made instruments and noise-makers. Why this is not a colony of dumpster-diving vegans in the foothills of some 60s parody is a mystery to me. Crown Now is a boy and a girl, a dejected duo brought together because they wanted to make the cheerleading squad. This document of their practice the night before and also the reason why they were rejected is the fourth and final side of your patience." -Beniffer Editions. |

| "Staggering package featuring a DVD, CD & 100-page book; three hours of music and video clips, including Malaria, Die Todliche Doris, Einsturzende, etc. Essential document of the early 80s German whatever-wave scene." - FE. "A DVD-flashback of early 80s Berlin subculture, featuring output by virtuosos of the citys underground movie scene, who rediscovered Super 8 as an adequate outlet for their creative endeavours. Accompanied by a compilation of music, covering a huge range of styles and currents - from punk to ingenious dilettantes - this lavish package recalls the walled-in citys unique feel and lifestyle. By no means a nostalgic review of times long gone, this is, rather, an appraisal (with no claim to completeness) of a creative Berlin which to this day exerts its influence on German pop culture and beyond. Besides the DVD featuring 18 elaborately restored Super 8 films (running time: 120 minutes), the luxurious package also contains a CD compilation of Berlin bands from the period of 78-84, as well as a 100 page book with extensive material: lyrics by Dietrich Kuhlbrodt, Martin Schmitz, Rolf S.

Artist: V/A Title: Boddie Acetate Box Format: Triple 7" Boxset Label: Numero Group Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "Three 45s with original Boddie acetate artwork plus extensive notes, housed in a 7" shipping box, and sealed with faximile Boddie paper shipping tape. From 1965 until 1987, husband and wife Thomas and Louise Boddie provided the greater Cleveland, Ohio, area with custom recording and affordable record manufacturing. The Boddie Recording Company operated out of the African-American couples house on the east side of Cleveland, complete with a fullservice, hand-wired analog recording studio and a busy pressing plant steaming around the clock in a converted dairy barn at the back of the estate. A kaleidoscope of northern Ohio musical acts used the Boddie services in one way or another, booking time in the tracking room, cutting reference acetates, or pressing a couple hundred 45s for local distribution. Selecting from the reliable parade of musicians crossing paths with his enterprise, Thomas found time to curate his own stable of talent through his Soul Kitchen, Luau, Caribi, Plaid, and Bounty labels. But by and large, Boddie Recording Company was not a creative endeavor for Thomas or Louise. Instead, it made the Boddies an honest living by providing teenage bands and aspiring gospel ensembles an inexpensive shot at having their own creations laid to wax. Of these hundreds of groups, weve selected three that were found in unmarked boxes, never picked up, certainly never released. The labels are a facsimile of the Boddies custom acetate sticker, pressed on 48 gram vinyl, housed in a tape box, and sealed with Boddie Recording kraft tape." -Numero Group |

Artist: V/A Title: Bollywood Steel Guitar Format: Double LP Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $28.00 |
| First time vinyl issue of the out-of-print CD. Double LP Stoughton gatefold with the bonus track "Duniya Mein," (covered most famously by the Sun City Girls as "Apna Desh" on the Crossdressers release). Bollywood Steel Guitar is the most comprehensive collection to date of steel guitar pop instrumental music from India. All 21 tracks featured here were film hits from 1962-1986 and all the masters of the steel guitar sound from the period are represented: Van Shipley, Kazi Aniruddha, S. Hazarasingh, Sunil Ganguly, and Charanjit Singh. An entirely different approach that rocks, swings, and grooves through some of Indias most beloved film tunes, the electric steel guitar as lead instrument transforms the already infectious melodies into a multitude of higher sound dimensions. This album was compiled and carefully selected from rare LPs over several years by Stuart Ellis. Here are some excerpts from his liner notes: "The term Bollywood originally referred to Bombays (now known as Mumbai) Hindi language film industry. Although there are a number of other studios that produce films in other languages, more recently the definition has been expanded in the West to describe pretty much all films produced on the sub-continent. But where in most countries a films soundtrack would merely be used as a promotional tool for the film, in India, film music has become an industry unto itself with playback singers and dance numbers. The music is just as important as the film and lives on long after the film has left the theaters. These songs are, for the most part, the pop music of India. As with most popular music, other artists sometimes recorded cover versions of these songs. Of these musicians, a small number specialized in instrumental arrangements and created what could be called the elevator music of India. While there were a few who used the harmonium or mouth organ, the most popular instrument used in these instrumental favorites was the steel guitar." - Sublime Frequencies. |

Artist: V/A Title: Brokenhearted Dragonflies: Insect Electronica from Southeast Asia Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "There is a legend in Burma stating that swarms of male dragonflies gather to join in choruses of high-pitched tones to court their mates. The ones that dont succeed in mating eventually scream so loud that their chests explode and they drop dead to the ground. These recordings are a tribute to this legend. Droning cicadas, dragonflies and other insects display their charm as masters of the High Frequency Airwaves recorded live and unprocessed by Tucker Martine in the lush settings of Laos, Thailand, and Burma. Enter the supernatural world where Entomology and Electronica converge in a tropical hallucination of alien sound. Anyone whos ever wondered if these strange symphonies could be recorded or preserved as precisely as they sound in the field need look no further! Martine has done it and you will be transported to the exact experience one would encounter in these mysterious lowlands. Liner notes by Hakim Bey!" - Sublime Frequencies |

Artist: V/A Title: Bush Taxi Mali: Field Recordings from Mali Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "Bush Taxi Mali is an aural tour through the heart of Mali. These field recordings were made by Tucker Martine in 1998 while travelling throughout the West African country. This blend of bluesy Ngonis, clamoring street sounds, the stunning voice of Jalimusa Amanita Diabate (of the famous Diabate family), passing radios, Fulani flutes, runaway sound systems and chants from the Dogon country creates a unique portrait of Malis rich musical heritage. Eventually Martine found himself in the backseat of a beat up Peugeot on his way to the village of Kela, a Jeli village, where the songs and traditions of the Mande people have been scrupulously preserved. Many of the musical performances heard on this disc were made during that visit. Bush Taxi Mali is a strikingly original tapestry of the ancient traditions of Mali in the modern era." - FE |

Artist: V/A Title: Cant Stop It - Australian Post-Punk 1978-82 Format: CD Label: Chapter Music Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| ⿿A long overdue compilation of Australias incredible post-punk history, featuring the finest selection of bands from the period 1978-82, with many previously unreleased tracks. This is a fantastically inventive and dynamic time in Australian music history, a time when Australia stepped out of the shadow of overseas influence and asserted its own musical identity for the first time. All of the bands on Cant Stop It! released their music independently, either themselves or through the handful of visionary labels of the time such as Au-go-go, M Squared, Missing Link or Innocent Records. Unfortunately much of the music has since been ignored or forgotten ... until now! Restock/repress of this incredibly well done, indepth and legit comp (which has since received a full page write up in the WIRE) of the elusive Australian scene. Features The Moodists, Voigt 465, The Take, Essendon Airport, The Apartments, Ash Wednesday, Primitive Calculators, Makers Of The Dead Travel Fast, Ron Rude, Xero, The Limp, Fabulous Marquises, The Slugfuckers, Equal Local, Tame Omearas, The Particles, People With Chairs Up Their Noses, Wild West, The Pits and Tch Tch Tch.

Artist: V/A Title: Cherrystones Word Format: CD Label: Tlon Uqbar Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
| "Remember all those rock magazines with covers proclaiming that "rock is dead!"? Remember that girl at the party who told you that the guitar was "played out" and "too limited?" Thankfully there are people in this world like MR. CHERRYSTONES who patiently waited to rock a psychedelic block party from London to NYC with his new compilation Cherrystones Word. Reflecting his punk rock roots, but coming out at a hip hop angle with an astounding knowledge of music and a native intuition of how to tear shit up in clubs, Cherrystones is the sound of psychedelia-soundtracks-folk-rock-prog-noise-moog-and-library-records. His compilations have a beautiful flow like a radio transmission from planet dada. This personal-journey-by-DJ is genuinely disarming as he uncovers track after track that thrills through being dusted down for fresh consumption, from the Led Zeppelin-esque qualities of DEAD MOON to the crazed, Dylan-like THE DEVIANTS on to the Arthur Lee-ish MIDNIGHT CIRCUS. Debut release on the Tlon Uqbor label, fierce spawn of contemporary psych repository Holy Mountain." - Tlon Uqbar. |

Artist: V/A Title: Choubi Choubi! Folk & Pop Sounds from Iraq Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "Meticulously selected from Iraqi cassettes and LPs found in Syria, Europe and the Iraqi neighborhoods of Detroit, Michigan, this unique collection of folk and pop styles displays a wealth of outstanding music that is exclusive to Iraq and has rarely been showcased abroad. There are many reasons why Iraqi music stands alone in the dynamic world of Arabic music: one example is the unbelievable rapid fire machine-gun rhythms fluttering atop the main tempo. This is the work of a unique nomadic hand drum called the khishba -- also known as the zanbour (Arabic for "wasp"). A style prominently featured here is the infamous Iraqi choubi -- a driving rhythmic style that can include fiddles, double reeded instruments, percussion, bass, keyboards and oud over its signature beat. Other styles featured are the basta (an urban Baghdadi style), the bezikh , and the pulsating hecha . Also heard is the mawal -- a vocal improv that sets the tone of a song, regardless of the style. Additionally there are three cuts from Jaafar Hassan s 1970s record, Lets Sing Together . Being a folk-rock record, its a true anomaly for Iraq. Hassan was a mouthpiece for the Iraqi Socialist movement just a few years before Saddam Hussein . But most of the music in this collection was produced during the Saddam period between the 1980s and 2002. Since the 2003 invasion and the wholesale disassembly of the country, classic tracks like these may already be part of a disappeared past." - Sublime Frequencies. |

The framework to this incredible box-set is mainly based on selected tracks by DDV from 4 Sept and A Sound Atlas of Venerology, Club Morals Mit neuen Waffen, with additional compilation tracks and live recordings by Club Moral. Furthermore Etat Bruts complete Geometrie dun Assasinat and a selection of tracks by The Parts (DDV, AMVK and Erik Vloeberghs) are included. Some of the tracks included in this box-set have never been released before. From 1981 until 1993 Club Moral acted as a venue and until today as a music performance band. They have become known for their controversial performances and imagery because they focused on the presentation of art and live events of an extreme nature. Acts that have performed at Club Moral have included Non (Boyd Rice), Coup de Grace (Michael Moynihan), Slave State, Gerechtigkeits Liga, - Delta t, John Duncan, Angst, AR/TE, ProduKtion, Jack Stevenson, ConDom and many more. This box-release should give an audio- and visual overview and insight into the work of and at Club Moral and their two protagonists, DDV and AMVK. It will take you beyond the highly sought after vinyl-release of To All Who Are Interested from 1989 and will focus on the very early stage of Club Morals work including acclaimed pieces of close friends and collaborators." - Vinyl-on-Demand. |

Artist: V/A Title: Cottage Industrial Volume 3 Format: CDR Label: Humbug Country: Norway Price: $11.00 |
| "Third instalment of our eclectic compilation series, fully sucked to capacity at 79:59, though theres "only" 17 tracks this time. You get two tracks from norwegian duo RYFYLKE (Humbug releases an LP with them sometime in 2005!), bristling with heavy frequencies. A sample of up-close "selbstverprügelung" and subtle barnyard heckling from unidentified mental patients RAIONBASHI. Crude electronics from WAWA. A glacial and feverish meditation for metals, springs, radio and wire hangers by ORANGE, MANIFOLD. SINISTRI are sculptors of molten pulses and charged convulsions, look out for their album on the Häpna label in the spring. Theres two tracks from PH�? - a short blast taken from "This is Handiwork" CD + a live track from Rhiz in Wien where the boys are fronted by one Didi Bruckmayr in best maniacal form. Also from Italy (along with Sinistri) are OvO, hot on the heels of their fully cracked jamz of the live tape on Imvated. This trackss for guitar and whistles, Stefania and Bruno captured here in full stereo sound. WOODEN WAND & SATYA SAI BABA exhales and hits a strident rock chord, trances out, lays it bare. "Wet Margarete" by EXCEPTER is a keening call to hush things down, before the gorgeous slow movements of LUNTs "You Keep Me Unafraid", a daydreaming haze of crystalline guitar loops. MASKINANLEGG tests your stereo output, while MOTHs "Ohne Titel" (the final Moth recording), draws to a fried conclusion with subliminal hum and skeletal buzzes. ANDERS HANAs piece is quiet and poised, barely pinches the skin. VIOLETS ROCK N ROLL suggests in the crudest of terms you better get the hell out of here, and finally IDEA FIRE COMPANY offers a salute to the weary listener with the epic 11-minute "Heroes".Comes in a heavy full colour cardboard packaging, stupefying "pensjonist" themed artwork, an insert and a sticker. Limited to something." - Humbug. |

Artist: V/A Title: Crystal Flowers Format: LP Label: Mathew-Rec Country: Germany Price: $29.00 |
| "The Crystal Flowers compilation is a transposition of Florine Stettheimers poems (published posthumously by her sister Ettie in a limited edition volume titled Crystal Flowers in 1949) into song or other vocal interpretation by Karl Holmqvist/Stefan Tcherepnin, Lorraine OGrady, Dignity Sister, Ei Arakawa/Sergei Tcherepnin, DJ Complicated, Jutta Koether, Dan Fox, Megan Francis Sullivan, David Lieske, Kim Gordon, Fanki And The Frogs, Bogdan Mooczkowsky/Vilde von Krigh/Mikael D. Brkic and Steven Warwick/Magnus Schaefer." -Mathew-Rec. "I associate Florine Stettheimer with moving to the city to begin art school, with making a friend, and struggling to find a motive in history that I could relate to, something to project into. During the late 90s, in a surprisingly homophobic and theoretically stale New York art school atmosphere, to come upon the scenes Florine Stettheimer painted offered secret elation and a sense of kinship. Flipping through issues of Charles Henri Fords View Magazine in the library, I came upon Virgil Thompsons "Portrait of Florine Stettheimer," a musical composition as portrait, which, like Gertrude Steins portraits in text, aimed for something like an affectionate caricature of someone considered a peer. This encounter with Florine Stettheimer seen through the lens of musical notation, reminded me of the charge of so many first encounters: the way in which the new "object" remains opaque yet also shimmeringly open, illegible, like a sheet of music, but not withholding. Ken Okiishi and I made a record on which each of us performed a sight-reading of Thompsons portrait on the piano. The effect was awkward, amateurish -- interpretation gave out under the technical challenge of simply trying to play the unknown piece -- in some sense magnifying the tensions and pitfalls inherent in trying to invoke Stettheimer, or anybody. Some years later, Ken found a copy of Crystal Flowers, and we were both thrilled to read the poems and the texts written as tho from a diary in the voice of Florine Stettheimer -- to find that like her paintings, the poems are so present. Stylized, ornate, jazzy, sharp, wistful, sugary -- the poems jubilantly synthesize in Stettheimers unmistakeable tone the pleasures, pangs, and aspirations of a life in culture. It seemed to lie on the hand for these poems to find other voices, or the response that they call out for at this point in time, perhaps as a way to measure the difference. I wanted to re-publish this small volume, intended for Florines friends and the friends of her paintings, in a warped way, and landed on the form of an LP collection of songs and voice tracks by various individuals interpreting or refracting the text. While some of the people I invited already knew Florines work very well, for others this was an entirely new encounter." -Nick Mauss. |

| ...The Rise of the Independent Music Industry After Punk. The enclosed booklet for the LP set is done in a newsprint punk-fanzine style! "Do It Yourself charts the rise of the independent music industry after punk - from the hundreds of bands and tiny labels that sprung up with like-minded ideals, to the network of shops, manufacturers, studios, printers etc, all connected via a loose network of record distributors that would help define independent music over the following thirty years. Beginning with The Buzzcocks Spiral Scratch EP released in early 1977, on the newly formed New Hormones label, in Manchester, it soon seemed that every town in Britain had its own music scene complete with bands, small labels, record shops and studios. Directly influenced by the ideals of punk - self-determination, freedom of expression, etc - as much as the music meant that these bands were interested in alternatives to the status quo in managing their careers. This meant finding new ways of getting their music heard outside of the mainstream music industry. It also meant new ways of making music away from the traditional guitar, bass, drums and vocals line-up of rock bands. The reasons for these two factors would be sometimes practical (they couldnt get signed/they couldnt play) and sometimes ideological. Pivotal to the development of the scene was the Rough Trade Records shop run by music fan Geoff Travis." - Soul Jazz. "The first records I remember bands bringing into the shop were The Buzzcocks Spiral Scratch, Scritti Politti Skank Bloc Bologna and The Desperate Bicycles. Rough Trade Records had started as a second-hand record shop. In 1977 customers began to bring their own newly pressed-up records into the shop, Travis soon began distributing the records to a handful of like-minded shops throughout the country. This developed into a network and bands soon found they could sell 1000s of their own records with no marketing, management, agents etc. At first, the records were all coming from people bringing in music to Rough Trade in London, but soon new bands would turn up at their local store with their locally-pressed record and this led to the emergence of a music scene in each town. All the bands on this record released their music independently, either themselves or on a small label. Some went on to be incredibly famous and others didnt. This record celebrates all factions and discusses the social and economic conditions that allowed independent music to thrive in the years to follow up to the present day. It comes complete with interviews with label owners, bands, studios, mastering and pressing plants and even printers!" - Geoff Travis.

Artist: V/A Title: Dabke -- Sounds Of The Syrian Houran Format: LP Label: Sham Palace Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "Dabke is the celebratory music and dance found throughout the Levantine Middle East. By the mid-1990s, a new wave of high-energy electronic dabke music had emerged -- to be heard at weddings, parties and cassette-stalls region-wide. New wave dabke was first introduced to Western ears by way of Omar Souleyman and his northeastern Syrian sounds. This collection presents a hypnotic and diverse selection of electrified dabke dance cuts from a region in the south of Syria known as the Houran. The Houran refers to a swathe of south Syria and northwestern Jordan, beginning just below Damascus, and encompassing the Syrian cities of Daraa, Suweida, Bosra and the Golan Heights. Its populations include Syrians, Bedouin, Druze, Palestinians and Jordanians -- and this unique confluence of cultures is evident throughout these tracks. Hourani dabke is relentless and commanding, driven by heavy rhythms and weaving synthesizers. Long passages of intense musical fervor are punctuated by fierce male vocals, belting out calls for the audience to dance, alongside the lyrical laments and tributes to love and lust. But the sound of the Houran is best defined by the mejwiz -- a double-reed bamboo flute famed for its droney overtones as well as shrill, buzzing melodic lines achieved by circular breathing techniques. Historically, Hourani dabke was played with mejwiz, hand percussion and narrative vocal chants. Electronic beats have inevitably embellished the contemporary sound, magnifying the intensity -- and the mejwiz players have taken their craft to the microphone, in order to maintain the instruments prominence over the resulting volume. The sampled mijwiz sound has its own specific qualities and in recent years, can even be heard in combination with its organic counterpart. The recordings featured in this collection were captured live to the mixing desk during weddings and parties throughout the Houran during the 1990s and 2000s, and represent a mere sliver of the sounds found in tape and disc vendors throughout the region. Limited pressing of 1,000." -Sham Palace. |

between the two versions, the label described it to us like this: "The Lp-2

Neubauten Kollaps is 7 minutes on DVD/CD but 10 minutes on Lp) J and it

Artist: V/A Title: Difficult Fun Format: 7" Label: Difficult Fun Country: UK Price: $6.00 |
| "The Difficult Fun compilation introduces an additional 3 equally adventurous bands and repeated visits to difficultfun.org had me pretty keyed-up to get my hands on a copy. Sharing the A side with Antifamily, Philosophy Queen bring a fractured drop in fidelity to beautifully render a fragile and hazy display of emotion, "Lucy" a.k.a. "defeat is not important/defeat is not unimportant" is a rough-hewn gem. For the flip, Hellogabalus celebrate the damaged acoustic sonorities of their instruments. Then the brilliant Asja Auf Capri round things out with a tempered strut of Zick Zack/Ata Tak but without all the pomp and pose of the Neue Deutsche Welle. The packaging is a kit composed of six parts that beg interaction and offer a multiplicity by design. A card inserted into my copy includes a phrase that I think might be Marxist in origin. This is so much more fun than the bulk of what hits the singles rack these days." - AG, Other Music. |

Artist: V/A Title: DIY Canons Format: Double CD Label: Pogus Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "The pieces on this CD are all based on the ideas in Larry Polanskys four voice canons, a series of pieces he began in 1975. These canons are usually mensuration canons, which means that the tempi of successive voices is proportional to their start times, so that the voices end together. They also use simple ideas of moving through a list of permutations, and applying the elements of those permutations to various musical parameters. A set of Polanskys canons was produced on Cold Blue Records as four voice canons. Polansky described these ideas in Four Voice Canon #13 (DIY Canon), a kind of open-source meta-canon score. He distributed this at talks and on the web as an open invitation to others who wanted to make four voice canons of their own. Composers responded with a wide variety of variations on the basic idea; a selection of these works is presented here." - Simon Wickham-Smith, curator.

Artist: V/A Title: Eat The Dream: Gnawa Music From Essaouira Format: LP Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "This record was originally released on CD as Eat The Dream: Moroccan Reveries On Tinder Records In 1996 (Tinder CD 42825032). Original label out of business/CD out-of-print. Recorded and compiled by Tucker Martine in 1994, the bulk of this album features the magnificent results of a chance meeting between Martine and the late, great master of Gnawa music, Maâllem Boubker Ghania (1927-2000), who kindly offered to organize a several-day informal recording session in his home. Martine began rolling tape as musicians came and went throughout the sessions. These spectacular recordings from Essaouira Morocco are interwoven here with other encounters, including a wedding procession in the streets of Marrakech, snake charmers of the Jemma El Fna with their rhaitas, calls to prayer with children playing while James Brown echoed off of the labyrinthian walls, Moroccan radio dial surfing and more. The Gnawa are a mystical brotherhood whose ancestors migrated from West Africa to North Africa approximately 500 years ago. After integrating into the local Berber and Arabic societies, a unique cultural blend resulted which is reflected in their music. Their complex liturgy borrows both from the traditions of mystical Islam and African Shamanism. The Gnawas trance-inducing music accompanies rituals such as the healing of psychic disorders and scorpion stings, Ramadan celebrations and animal sacrifice. Participants in these all-night rituals are invited into an ecstatic state. The primary instruments of this tradition are the krakebs (a pair of metal clappers) and the guimbri (or sintir), a three-stringed lute with a camel skin covering and a body carved from a log. The one short string and two long strings are made of goat gut. Limited edition LP housed in a heavy-duty tip-on jacket with an insert containing additional photos of the musicians and Tucker Martines liner notes." -Sublime Frequencies. |

Artist: V/A Title: Ecstatic Music of the Jemaa El Fna Format: LP Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $24.00 |
| "For centuries, the Jemaa El Fna (Rendezvous of the Dead) has remained the stage for one of the most spectacular social forums on the planet. By day, this central square in the city of Marrakesh, one of Moroccos great imperial cities, fosters a kaleidoscope of entertainment for its local inhabitants; storytellers, acrobats, magicians and snake charmers all create intriguing displays of bewitching spectacle. As the sun sets, the evening grows frantic with the pulse of the crowd; it is then that the night musicians set up. Free from the restrictions and expectations of light entertainment for a tourist crowd, these musicians manifest ecstatic performances that animate the audience and players alike. The groups represented on this album; Troupe Majidi, Amal Saha, and Mustapha Mahjoub, are working and carrying the torch of their musical heroes nightly in the square. These songs come from the repertoire of Moroccos greatest musical exports: Nass El Ghiwane, Lemchaheb, Jil Jilala, Larssad, and many others from the Chaabi (Moroccan popular music) canon and are given a raw, emotional and fiery interpretation. Instruments are powered by car batteries and blown out through megaphone speakers. These recordings represent a rare opportunity to hear this music at such close proximity taking in all the power and passion of the performances. The raw fidelity captures an unflinching immersion of what is simply some of the greatest street music on earth. Recorded by Hisham Mayet in 2005, a few of these performances were featured in his film Musical Brotherhoods From The Trans-Saharan Highway (SF 041DVD). This collection also contains tracks not present in the film for a more potent snapshot of the ecstatic Jemaa El Fna. Limited edition LP comes in a beautiful full-color gatefold jacket with photos of the musicians and liner notes by Hisham Mayet." -Sublime Frequencies |

| "Over the past few years Electric Voice Records has established itself as one of Canadas most forward-thinking and ambitious new labels, releasing a mountain of innovative pop music from an eccentric roster of international bands and artists. The labels grand vision is quite simply to archive the current state of affairs in the underground world of pop music. Although a bold mission, this new compilation makes huge strides towards that aim. Culled from a hopelessly jammed inbox of submissions and requests, these 18 tracks represent some of the finest jams to ever grace the Electric Voice catalogue and offer a cross section of both up and coming and established artists. The labels obsessive attention to quality means that every track is an absolute highlight. Includes tracks from ARIEL PINK & R. STEVIE MOORE, JEFF & JANE HUDSON, SOFT METALS, HTRK, FEMMINIELLI, AUTOMELODI, DEON, INNERGAZE, CHEVALIER AVANT GARDE, COLOURS, RAPE FACTION, HORRID RED, and others.

Artist: V/A Title: Electric Voice Compilation II Format: LP Label: Electric Voice Country: Canada Price: $24.00 |
| "On this deluxe compilation, Electric Voice Records offers another exploration of historical and contemporary underground music. Whereas last years collection focused on alternative approaches to electronic pop music, this new album mines a darker spectrum of genres, one that spans more than three decades of minimalist synth and industrial work. Here, new-generation artists like TROPIC OF CANCER and MARTIAL CANTEREL extend rather than revive the music of their influences. Electric Voice II marries these young artists with pioneers from the beginning days of this music-truly groundbreaking acts like IKE YARD Yard, the first American band to sign with Factory Records, and Throbbing Gristle / Psychic TVs enigmatic GENESIS BREYER P-ORRIDGE, now performing some of her most poignant material to date as THEE MAJESTY. Other featured artists include DAS DING and French group MARTIN DUPONT, who both offer cuts from their respective early-80s archives. There are also exclusive tracks by ADN CKRYSTALL, FRANK (JUST FRANK), VITA NOCTIS and NINE CIRCLES. Taken together, the seamless flow of these tracks, despite the span of generations, makes clear the continued relevance of these practices and pure electronic sounds. To celebrate this collection, acclaimed artist JUAN MENDEZ (Silent Servant) provides cover artwork, with additional design by DMYTRIJ WULFFIUS." - Electric Voice. |

Artist: V/A Title: Err On The Good Side Format: LP Label: Three:Four Country: Switzerland Price: $29.00 |
| "Err on the Good Side is the first volume of a compilation series devoted to musicians, programmers, reviewers, disc sellers or whoever involved in music activities that we love. We offer them the opportunity to share their passion for it by curating a record. For this first volume we have asked ali_fib, the most interesting and adventurous gig promoter in Paris, to handle it. The result, Err on the Good Side, reflects their own musical tastes and friendships. Except Chambre 1, Ilitchs introductory track (which was released in 2005 as part of Thierry Müllers limited-edition picture disc, Rainy House) and Amen Dunes contribution Diane (here offered in its extended version; an alternative take will be released by Locust Music), this record is made of previously unreleased material and has been compiled using a very simple idea of symmetry: most of the tracks here have been assembled as pairs based on musical affinities. Featuring Sir Richard Bishop, Duane Pitre, El-G, Steve Gunn, Ben Nash, Hitch, Mike Wexler and more. Numbered edition of 504 copies with glossy insert and download postcard." -Three:Four |

Artist: V/A Title: Ethnic Minority Music of North Vietnam Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $15.50 |
| "This is the third volume in a series of tribal village music compiled by Laurent Jenneau from his continual journeys into the more remote tribal areas of Southeast Asia, featuring field recordings of the Giay, Lu, Red Zao, and Black Hmong peoples from North Vietnam. The five selections presented here by the Red Zao are of an unusual vocal style called Baozoo. The Baozoo singing technique can either be a responsive song, or canon singing where a lead singer has his or her words repeated with delay by one, two or three singers. Youve never heard anything quite like it before. The instruments used in other selections include kheng (bamboo mouth organ), jews harp, bamboo sticks with coins, and the piem zat (a reed instrument or oboe affiliated with Baozoo singing). Recorded in and around Sapa, this CD includes an extended track list with added information about each track recorded along with insightful liner notes by Laurent Jenneau with an excerpt included here: "The Lu are the most mysterious to me. First Im easily impressed by people who have radically different beauty criteria; their way to blacken their teeth with a thick layer of black stuff makes every smile special. They seem to have been established in northwest Vietnam since the 12th century. The Giay, like the Lu or Lao, belong to the Tay Kadai language group. They are well established in northern parts of Vietnam and Laos, but emigrated from China 200 years ago. They have three styles of singing for different occasions; for a feast, for night drinking or to sing farewell to someone." - Sublime Frequencies |

Artist: V/A Title: Ethnic Minority Music Of Northeast Cambodia Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "For the first time ever from this part of the world, here is a recording that documents the ceremonial animist music from the mysterious tribal villages of Northeast Cambodia. The Tampoans, Krungs, Kavets, Braos, and Jaraîs of Ratanakiri Province and the Phnongs in Mondolkiri Province have been living amidst each other in this region for centuries, preserving and expanding their unique cultural heritage, sometimes at peace and other times in conflict with one another or with foreign invaders. The music includes hypnotic gong ensembles, guitar ballads, bamboo flute and unique local instrumentation such as the gungteng (a 10-string instrument comprised of a bamboo tube holding 10 metallic strings with a dried gourd as resonator) and the mum (a unique one-string Krung instrument bowed with a bamboo using the mouth as a resonator, attached by a string between the instrument and the mouth). The superb singing styles and vocals present throughout are absolutely mesmerizing. These tracks sound like nothing youve heard before, all magnificently documented, transporting the listener into the heart of each performance. Recorded on location by Laurent Jenneau over a 2-year period from 2003-2005 with his revealing liner notes and a detailed tracklist included within." - Sublime Frequencies. |

Artist: V/A Title: Ethnic Minority Music of Northwest Xinjiang, China Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Laurent Jeanneau and Shi Tanding have returned from the northwest corner of Chinas Xinjiang province with an amazing batch of recordings collected during the weeks leading up to the volatile Uyghur uprising of 2009. Armed with their trusty audio gear, the couple was set on getting married and recording various styles of regional ethnic music near the Chinese border with Kazakhstan. However, the local authorities suspected that the pair had other intentions, shadowing and interrogating them wherever they went. Their marriage in Shi Tandings home town of Ili would have to wait for another time (the marriage documents were delayed in processing deep within the Chinese bureaucracy) but the recordings, preserved here, display several magnificent and unique varieties of traditional Islamic folk music with traces of Arabic, Persian, and Turkish influences heard throughout. The players are Kazakh, Uyghur, Kirgiz and Mongol Erut musicians performing on a wide array of local stringed instruments including topchar, komuz, rushtar, rawab and tchang. One amazing example is Kurmanjiang Zaccharia, a Kazakh string virtuoso, whose lightning-fast fingers blaze up and down the neck of his two-stringed dongbra. Another is an epic 10-minute vocal muqam performed by a trio of Uyghur musicians on satar, tambur and dotar. Also featured is a Kazakh singing-style called Ay Ikesse performed by Aken (improvising poet-singers utilizing dongbra accompaniment), Kirgiz songs sung in the Manas style and played on the komuz, and Mongol Erut bai boor den instrumental pieces. The CD comes with a 16-page full-color booklet featuring photos of the musicians and informative liner notes chronicling the journey, instruments and styles documented, and background information on the performers by Laurent Jeanneau." - Sublime Frequencies. |

Artist: V/A Title: Ethnic Minority Music of Southern China Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "The fifth Sublime Frequencies volume in Laurent Jeanneaus amazing documentation of vanishing indigenous music of the rural Asian frontiers, this CD focuses on ethnic minority groups of Southern China. Presented here are 17 tracks of supremely infectious vocals and folkloric instrumentals played on a wide variety of local traditional instruments. The centerpiece of this collection is the 13-minute "Do Djui Atsei" (track 5), an absolutely epic male and female group choral vocal piece which is improvised as a song of intimate personal emotions that brings tears to the performers as they are singing together. Jeanneau has spent many years traversing the hills and valleys of Southeast Asia and China, and he has captured a dizzying array of folk music, much of which has never been documented before. He is perhaps the most committed and accomplished procurer of rare and threatened music from the region and seems more focused than ever as he states in his liner notes for this release: "In China, by the end of the 1950s, 400 ethnic groups registered to be counted in the census. There might be 300 remaining groups nowadays. I was facing an incredible amount of potential musicians. Now after six years spent in Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou provinces, I have recorded 55 CDs of raw stuff. This Sublime Frequencies product is a compilation from those CDs, displaying the diversity I was able to find between 2006 and 2012, and Im not finished." This disc comes with a 16-page booklet of detailed notes and photographs of the musicians by Laurent Jeanneau." -Sublime Frequencies. |

Artist: V/A Title: Ethnic Minority Music Of Southern Laos Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $15.50 |
| "This is a collection of landmark recordings by Laurent Jenneau, documenting music created by the Harak and various Brao ethnic groups in Southern Laos. This is the second release in a series of spectacular field recordings from some of the more remote ethnic minority communities in Southeast Asia. On this release, you can hear the true historic roots of Molam music (now a venerable popular music style in Laos and Thailand) played on the khaen along with vocal styles from this region. Also featured here are gong ensembles, various stringed instruments, cymbals, drums and sung poetry all captured live on location with the ambient sounds of the surrounding villages. These recordings were made in Xekong, Champasak and Attapeu provinces and because much of this music is unknown, this is probably the first time recordings have ever been released of indigenous music from these remote areas of Southern Laos. Features insightful liner notes by Laurent Jenneau and an extended track listing with added information about each track recorded." - Sublime Frequencies |

Artist: V/A Title: Festival Electronica en Abril 2003-2012 Format: Double Lp Box Set Label: La Casa Encendida Country: Spain Price: $31.00 |
| "To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Festival Electrónica en Abril, born in 2003 at La Casa Encendida, Madrid, La Casa Encendida has invited some of the artists that have left their personal mark on the event, right now the oldest music festival in Madrid. All of them have contributed exclusive tracks to this 2LP that provide an insight into the quality and diversity of the festival. These are ten exclusive tracks that research a very specific sound quality (Eleh, Radian, nsi.), take introspective journeys (Thomas Köner, Maja Ratkje) and summon deep rhythmic collisions (Farben aka Jan Jelinek, Dopplereffekt, Elektro Guzzi, Matmos, SND). All of them seem to share a desire for experimentation that encompasses the emotional as a response to a general state of things that hits us with an overdose of data and experimentation. Matmos track was composed playing around with a friends new synthesizer. Eleh added field recordings to his usual microscopic sound aesthetic for the first time. Thomas Köner composed this intimate and melancholic piece for his grandmother, and Maja Ratkje goes deep into an alien ambient lullaby of ravishing simplicity and beauty. Farben deconstructs rhythm to build it up again as a pure ecstatic house beat. Nsi., the project of Tobias Freund and Max Loderbauer embark on an abyssal expedition to the far reaches of sound. Dopplereffekt melt their retro-futurist electro into crystalline emotions. Elektro Guzzi, always recording live, without overdubs, was helped in the studio by Patrick Pulsinger, taking the bullet train directly to the heart of their amazing analog techno, where guitar, bass and drums truly count. And SND (Mark Fell and Matt Steel) ride on an oblique and funked-up carousel of their own making, where rhythm and math surf together. And finally, Farben goes deep into glorious house-not-house." - La Casa Encendida. |

Artist: V/A Title: FM-BX Society Tape Vol. 1 Format: LP Label: S-S Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "S.S. Records is pleased to present the first vinyl edition of the FM-BX Society Tape Vol. 1. Originally released in 1981 only on cassette, with a limited run of 200, FM-BX V1 was the first in a series of compilation tapes released by the staff of a radio station in Brussels, Belgium. Needless to say, not many tapes made it around, and very few survive today. Id say that is a shame but with this vinyl release, the word will get out about the bands on this tape, albeit a few decades after its initial release! FM-BX V1 features three bands, two from Belgium, one from Scotland. The Belgium bands are Isolation Ward and Unit 4. Isolation Ward are known in underground synth collector circles, as they had a bit of a run after their debut on this release. Bleak and futuristic, Isolation Ward fuse post punk with early 80s synth sounds and a DIY approach. The stars of FM-BX are the all-woman foursome Unit 4. Little is known about the band or their current whereabouts. No problem because their music is all you need to tell you that they had something special going. By their sound, the influences are obvious: Kleenex, Delta 5, and the Raincoats all reverberate here though less slick than any of those bands. Unit 4s aesthetics are more akin to the Petticoats and, at times, the Shaggs. This is truly wonderful punk rock. From Scotland comes the Topplers. Great stuff. Teens with an ear towards the TV Personalities, The Times, and Subway Sect. 500 pressed, housed in a sleeve cobbled together from the original cassette release." -S-S |

| "The equator runs through only ten countries on earth and I bet that you cannot name them all without consulting a map. Indonesia is one of them and the only nation in Asia with the equatorial stripe impaling it. There are so many different cultures spread-out on these islands, that it would take several lifetimes to experience them all properly. Within this umbrella of diversity is one of the worlds richest and most dazzling sound museums. Sumatra is the northwestern entry point to the great archipelago. It is a large island approximately the size of California. There are jungles, mountains, swamps, various forms of myths and folklore, hustlers, Padang Food, Tigers, the Durian, dozens of cultures and languages, and more music than youve ever been allowed to hear. The selections on this CD are a combination of droning beat pop, pseudo-gypsy songs, jungle folk trance, and other improbable traditional and hybrid styles heard by only a handful of outsiders. These recordings are from old cassette tapes received as gifts, in trade, or purchased from sources in Sumatra in 1989. Some of the tapes are unmarked with the artists unknown, yet all of them are decaying documents of various sound quality containing some of the most eccentric artifacts ever uncovered from this fascinating island." - Sublime Frequencies |

|
"Folk and Pop Sounds of Sumatra (Volume 2) expands our presentation of the worlds least-known, outstanding musical improbabilities. From the infectious trance beat of Sumatras Folk Dangdut music, featuring Rabab (Violin) or Saluang (Flute), to the highly-refined and glorious Orkes Gambus (Orchestral Arabic music with Gambus literally meaning Oud), said to have been brought to the island by Islamic settlers from Yemen, the 18 tracks featured here will instantly convince the listener of the expressive beauty and diversity that Sumatra has contributed to the world music theater. Most of the musicians on this release are Minangkabau or Minang people who are devout followers of Islam as well as the worlds largest Matrilineal society (a Minangkabau child is the descendent of his/her mother, not father). These tracks (chosen from stacks of old cassettes) were recorded from the 1960s through the 1980s and are all but dismissed by many Sumatrans who seem to prefer a more contemporary sound. This is an assortment of relics from a forgotten period of transition in Sumatran music when psychedelic organs echoed underneath arabic string sections and rustic violins sawed atop trance beats from poorly-lit night markets. The Minang sound is like no other and it represents a vital link in the somewhat cloudy history of Sumatran music. Keep in mind that this is NOT a document for the mere purpose of preservation, although it may serve as such. This IS among the very best music youve never heard and you need to hear it NOW!" - Sublime Frequencies.

Artist: V/A Title: Futurisk-Lonely Streets Remixes Format: LP Label: Cititrax Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
|
"Minimal Wave takes an old sound in a new direction entirely, giving Futurisks classic Lonely Streets a modern shake-up through a remix package from current artists out now on MWs sublabel reserved for new music and old favorites, Cititrax.
Futurisk, an electro-punk group made legendary by their anarchistic records and explosive live shows, mysteriously disappeared from a thriving scene in 1984. With an electric and dynamically layered sound (created with pre-midi instrumentation), the South Florida group left an indelible mark in the crates of disco and minimalist collectors dotted around corners of the world, including LCD Soundsystems James Murphy (who gave a complimentary wink to Futurisk in 2003 by using Push Me Pull You (Pt. 2) on the delightful Colette # 5 DFA Comp CD). Minimal Waves own history with Futurisk runs a few years back, starting first by including an unreleased 1982 version of the track Meteoright on the labels Found Tapes vinyl LP in 2007. Subsequently, Minimal Wave released the retrospective full-length vinyl Player Piano LP to celebrate the bands 30th anniversary last year, culling material recorded between the years 1980 to 1982, with all of the tracks on their two 7-inch releases mixed in with rare studio recordings and early 4-track tapes.
The Futurisk Lonely Streets Remixes includes remixes by four of the bands biggest fans, each of whom have a sound as iconic as the band themselves: Chris Carter (Throbbing Gristle, Chris & Cosey), Tom Furse (The Horrors), Prince Language (DFA, Editions Disco) and Complexxion from the UK." -Cititrax
"For the remixes, we wanted to make sure that they werent modernized or techno versions of the tracks, but remixes with the same analogue and dance/rock sensibilities of the time when the original tracks were created, utilizing those very same stem tracks. I believe we have accomplished this with the forthcoming Lonely Streets Remix 12inch vinyl. The first remix 12inch will be dedicated to the track Lonely Streets, with a remix by synth legend Chris Carter, whose version is one that I would have dreamed of doing back in 1982, had we the time and funds and equipment. Prince Languages version captures the feel of the song beautifully with the utilization of all the stems, especially the real drum tracks that were part of Futurisks signature sound, stirring up the No Wave styles that also influenced us at the time. It was also a pleasure to hear Tom Furses Moroder-esque electropunk take, sounding like a missing track from a late 1970′s sci-fi flick and finally Complexxions track with the feel and approach of Arthur Baker, Martin Rushent, Daniel Miller and Kraftwerk of course, all of which were big influences on the members of Futurisk" - Jeremy Kolosine (founding member of Futurisk). |

Artist: V/A Title: Groove Club Vol. 3: Cambodia Rock Intensified! Format: Double LP Label: Lion Productions Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "There were no deluxe studios for the musicians who recorded the devastating tracks contained on this double-LP collection. Nothing so grand. Most of these tracks were recorded live, with traditional instruments finding a place alongside any keyboards or guitars that could be found. And yet, it was these experiments of Khmer rock musicians which transformed the nightlife of the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh—and which many years later have seduced countless listeners around the world with their groovy sound. Alas, in 1975 came an entirely different type of transformation: the rise to power in Cambodia of the fanatical, anti-Western Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot. Within roughly four years, implementing their “concept of Year Zero,” Pot and his regime were responsible for the deaths of an estimated two million Cambodians, many in the notorious “killing fields.” Even the most famous and beloved Khmer musicians could not escape. Sinn Sisamouth (“the Emperor of Khmer Music”), Ros Sereysothea (“The Golden Voice of the Royal Capital”), and Pan Ron—all featured on this collection—met their deaths at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. Cambodian rock music is (rightfully) adored in Cambodia. The music is wild and anarchic, rhythmic and undulating (in an “Ethiopiques” way, wed say), or sweet and lyrical, but always moving, and with that deep soulfulness (regardless of actual musical genre or style) that singles out the best music. We have assembled what we consider to be the most definitive collection of classic Cambodian rock music to appear thus far—without the later overdubs that confuse the mind, without the artificial speeding up of tracks that often has marred compilations over the years; what youll find here are crucial Khmer rock tracks, made available in the best possible sound, assembled with love and respect for the artists who made the Khmer rock scene as thrilling as we find it to be. And so, without further ado, welcome to “Cambodia Rock Intensified!” -Lion Productions. |

Artist: V/A Title: Harmika Yab-Yum: Folk Sounds From Nepal Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $14.50 |

This exciting mosaic snares among other oddities, a King Cobra snake charmer, the sounds of slaughtering buffaloes and guns firing amidst a Durga Puja festival, dreamy folk music, Sarangi and Harmonium players seeping in from unknown radio signals, pounding drums, praying monks, child choruses, street sermons, loudspeaker promotionals, and quiet footsteps at the top of the world. Millis has produced many curious audio works as a member of the group Climax Golden Twins and this collection of Himalayan ephemera captures the timeless beauty of the worlds highest Kingdom, land of the rhododendron, the Kumari (a living goddess), and the legendary Yeti.

Artist: V/A Title: Harry Smiths Complete Anthology Of American Folk Music Format: 8 LP Box Set Label: Doxy Country: Italy Price: $174.00 |
|
"Now for the first time ever all together on vinyl a complete box set: 4 double LPs featuring the 3 original double LP volumes (Ballads, Social Music, Songs) along with the great LOST Country Music & Bluegrass double LP that remained unissued for almost 50 years. Compiled by Harry Smith contemporaneously with the first three volumes (which were originally released in 1952), it includes tracks by the Monroe Bros., Carter Family, Robert Johnson, Bukka White, Lead Belly, Uncle Dave Macon and Sleepy John Estes and more! The box set is actually not a box, but is modelled after the old 78 rpm multiple record storage sleeve, where the albums are stored in sleeves that are pages in a book. The importance of Harry Smiths work can not be overstated. Not only did he single-handedly save much of American folk music from extinction, but when he handed his record collection over to Smithsonian folkways in 1952, he opened the floodgates for the American folk revival of the following decade. Not since John and Alan Lomax had anyone paid so much attention to saving the American folk song from extinction, but unlike the Lomaxes, Smith was not a government worker armed with a tape recorder, he was just a guy from Portland, Oregon armed with a love of music and an insatiable curiosity. So, when the U.S. Armed Forces began melting down old records to be used as shellac during WWII, Smith kicked into high gear, buying up as many old 78s from the 20s and 30s as he could find. Much of the music found here then comes from a time before television -- arm-in-arm with rock & roll -- began beaming its über-culture into every household in America, erasing much of what had grown up locally. Prior to WWII, America was in many ways no more than a patchwork of territories, with distinct local cultures and musical traditions reaching both far into the immigrant past of each areas inhabitants, but also into a future firmly rooted in the newness and adventure (as well as hardships) of life on this new continent." -Doxy

"With almost universal access to the internet and the rise of the online archive it may appear that the entire history of recorded sound is only a few mouse clicks away. However, the 2008 discovery in a Paris archive of a phonautograph recording of Au Clair de Lune from 1860 demonstrated that fragile treasures remain to be discovered by the dedicated explorer. Musician, composer and radio producer Felix Kubin has spent the last 5 years investigating, tracking down and collecting a stunning selection of hitherto neglected recordings from archives and private collections. With an eye for the antique curiosity, and an ear for the curious dusty beauty of abandoned transmissions from the past, he is now proud to present this first collection of historical recordings. The recordings presented here offer many and diverse pleasures from the analogue realm. Amongst the jewels offered are chronicles of eccentric machines, alleged occult occurrences on telephone exchanges, drunken whalers, marine plankton, music hall entertainers, Nazi attempts to play proto-synthesizers, uncategorizable oddities, and lost documents by originators of the avant-garde. This deluxe vinyl only edition is presented in lavish packaging including a booklet which contains an essay by Felix Kubin, extensive notes on each track and illustrations." -Gagarin

Artist: V/A Title: Hoera! Een Hex voor thuis! Format: LP Label: Hex Grammofoonplaten Country: Netherlands Price: $20.00 |
| "Since 2004 we organize the Hex nights at OCCII in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. At these nights the audience is being served all (sub)styles of new wave music from the past and the present... and more... The nights are known for their ever suprising live acts (and not only because of the fact that most of these bands have their live debut in The Netherlands at Hex) and the dj sets by connoisseurs dj M & Kramp... Although Hex is a relative small clubnight it has built a name for itself around the world among fans of obscure new wave music and many bands and specialized labels. To celebrate the existence of Hex there is now a compilation LP... so everybody can have a Hex night at home... On the LP are twelve bands that all performed live on stage at Hex. Ten out of the twelve tracks are exclusive recorded for this LP (and the other two are absolute hits on the Hex dancefloor). What you get is what we do... it is all there... from apocalyptic disco to post-punk, from elektro to Neo Deutsche Welle and from minimal electronics to cabaret ... The artwork is of course done by Dutch artist Edwin Stoutjesdijk (also known as dj Kramp)..." - Hex Grammofoonplaten. Hex Grammofoonplaten is new side-imprint from Dutch synth label Enfant Terrible.

Artist: V/A Title: Holy Fuzz Format: LP Label: Hidden Vision Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
|
"Christian rock/psych/garage ranging from album tracks by well known groups like Agape, Search Party and All Saved Freak Band to singles by more obscure groups such as Concrete Rubber Band and Stonewood Cross; extremely high level of musical quality throughout, with varying degrees of fuzzed up guitar solos on all tracks; theres a message there for those who need it—but otherwise this is just great listening; fantastic Psychedelic Moses cover art. Ken Scott review from his excellent spiral-bound Archivist (Vintage Vinyl Jesus Music, 1965-1980): “All the songs on this album were specifically chosen for their guitar content… some of it mellow and subtle, and some of it mind frying heavy fuzz”. For the budget-minded heres you chance to sample tracks from rare pricey albums by Concrete Rubber Band and The Search Party, plus Agape, Exkursions, The Bridge, All Saved Freak Band, and Way International outfits Selah and Pressed Down Shaken Together & Rolling Over. And if youve already got all those theres a 1967 pre-Agape song (In The Light) and the six-minute stunner Magic Man from the elusive Stonewood Cross single (man, if those guys had only cut an album – yeow!). Neat b&w cover art with Fillmore-styled psych lettering.” -Hidden Visions.

Artist: V/A Title: I Dont Feel at Home in this World Anymore 1927-1948 Format: LP Label: Mississippi Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
|
"This compilation is our tribute to the music made in the U.S. between 1927 and 1948. We decided not only to focus on traditional genres (blues, old-time, Cajun), but to also show the music that was brought by the boatloads of immigrants coming to these shores. Their music influenced and still affects our culture today. The album starts off with a heavenly example of Greek rebetica from Marika Papagika. Also featured is early Tex-Mex pioneer Lydia Mendoza and gospel duo Two Gospel Keys. The latter gives us our title track. Louisiana Cajun music is beautifully executed by artists Cleoma Falcon and Blind Uncle Gaspard with Dela Lachney. The Blue Sky Boys may be considered old-time, but their haunting, melancholic harmonies belong in their own genre. The Caresser and Wilmouth Houdini bring on the Calypso with that New York jazz flavor. Hawaiian slack key guitar is demonstrated by Mike Hanapis Ilima Islanders and Mme. Rivieres Hawaiians. Aside from Calypso, NY was also a big hub for Jewish klezmer, as shown by Jacob Hoffman playing with Henry Kandels Orchestra. Sexteto Bolona is a great example of the roots of salsa and theres even a mystery track by an unknown Indonesian folk singer of the time. The comp ends with blues performer Big Boy Cleveland with his oddly original Quill Blues. A beautiful record from beginning to end." -Mississippi Records.

Artist: V/A Title: I Remember Syria Format: Double CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $16.50 |
| "A jaw-dropping expose of music, news, interviews and field recordings from one of the least-known quarters of the Arab world. The country of Syria has been politically and culturally exiled for decades by the western media leaving little known of its rich heritage of art, music and culture. Recorded and surgically-assembled by Mark Gergis from two trips to Syria in 1998 and 2000, disc one of this 2-CD set features recordings made in Damascus and is a virtual documentary of sound from the legendary Capital including street scenes, a wedding, a mosque interior, spontaneous live music and interviews with citizens, radio broadcasts, a song about Saddam Hussein, and the mystery of an underground city called Kazib. Disc two extends to Greater Syria with the same approach capturing live musicians, political opinions, radio excerpts, an interview with an anonymous homosexual, and unique sound documents from this small but highly-influential corner of the Middle East." - Sublime Frequencies |

Artist: V/A Title: I Want the Beatles to Play at My Art Center! - Video from the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter Archives 1968-2012 Format: DVD Label: Prisma Country: Norway Price: $19.00 |
| "This DVD presents seminal works of music, performance, dance, theater and installation art from the nearly 50-year history of Henie Onstad Kunstsenter (HOK). When HOK founder Sonja Henie exclaimed that she wanted The Beatles to play at her art center, in essence, she expressed its founding ambition to produce and stage a lively cross-artistic program that captured the contemporary spirit of the day in live form. This release is filled with previously-unreleased material from HOKs history, and shows for the first time Kjartan Slettemark dressed up as a poodle in 1975, Mauricio Kagels commissioned piece "Ex-Position" from 1978, and the brilliant recording of John Cage reading "Muoyce" in 1983. "And now we take the first step into the future." Former director Ole Henrik Moe added this bold statement when HOK opened its doors to the public in 1968. The museum of the future at Høvikodden would position dynamic time-based art alongside its collection of modernist masterworks of paintings and sculpture, demonstrating how the various forms art elaborate and collaborate with each other. Instead of expanding its art collection, the majority of HOKs budget would go to events and exhibitions, to the production of new time-based works, and not least, to document ephemeral art. I Want the Beatles to Play at My Art Center! presents a small selection from Henie Onstad Kunstsenters video archives. The DVD contains a newly-restored version of Pål Bang-Hansens promotional feature "A Forum of the Arts" from 1969, where amongst others, Arne Nordheim performs his commissioned work for HOK Solitaire. For the first time one can see what the Norwegian Studio for Electronic Music looked like in 1975 and view an excerpt from Terje Rypdals opera "Orfeus vender seg og ser på Eurydike." In addition, the DVD contains more recent productions with artists like MoHa!, KILLL, Stephen OMalley, and Christopher Nielsen/Masselys. This release accompanies the exhibition I Want the Beatles to Play at My Art Center! -- Tidsbasert kunst ved HOK 1968-2011, opening October 28, 2012 at HOK with performances by Deathprod and Nils Bech. The exhibition and releases are curated by Lars Mørch Finborud. *DVD is only available in European PAL format (not compatible with North American NTSC DVD players), region free." -Prisma. |

Artist: V/A Title: I.D. Art #2 Format: CD Label: Paradigm Discs Country: UK Price: $16.50 |
| "When the Los Angeles Free Music Society 10 CD set came out I eagerly flipped through the contents to see what treasures had finally been made available again. Much to my surprise the early compilation I.D. Art #2 was not included in this otherwise major overview of the LAFMS. I.D. Art #2 was the second LP release on their label, coming after Le Forte Fours Bikini Tennis Shoes LP, and before the 2LP Live at the Brand, a split album between Le 44 and The Doo-Dooettes. It dates from 1976. It is also probably the most difficult LP on their catalogue to find. Originally released in an edition of just 200 copies, most of which were given out to the 44 artists and groups who appeared on this extraordinary LP. The deal was that each track was paid for by the contributor at a rate of $8 per minute in exchange for 4 copies of the disc. Consequently very few copies were ever made available via the LAFMS mail order service. With a running time of 66 minutes and the sheer variety of contributions, I.D. Art #2 remained for most people a mysterious and tantalising item. Among the known names from the LAFMS scene are: Le Forte Four, Joe Potts, Fredrick Nilsen, Mr Foon, Ace & Duce, Dennis Mehaffey as well as 6 tracks by Smegma." -Paradigm Discs. |

Artist: V/A Title: Imaginational Anthem Volume Two Format: CD Label: Tompkins Square Country: US Price: $14.50 |
| "Released in October 2005, Imaginational Anthem Volume One featured two generations of important acoustic guitarists, from John Fahey and Sandy Bull to Jack Rose and Kaki King. Volume Two expands and builds on this theme with 70+ more minutes of guitar magic -- all previously unreleased on CD in the US. 23-year old UK 12-string upstart James Blackshaw opens the record, while the late master Robbie Basho, a clear influence on Blackshaws style, closes it. Bashos track is the only live recording by this groundbreaking guitarist ever released. Riches abound on Imaginational Anthem Vol Two, with new recordings by former Takoma roster alumni Peter Lang (who made an album with John Fahey and Leo Kottke), Billy Faier (an original Greenwich Village folkie whose late 50s Riverside records inspired a fellow crack banjo player, Steve Martin) and an archival home recording by Fred Gerlach (a favorite of Jimmy Page). The new breed is well-represented by fascinating figures of today -- Smith, Carter, Sparhawk, Kraus, Rose and Blackshaw. Legendary singer/songwriter Michael Chapman, whose first albums for the Harvest label in the 60s are now seeing the light again, contributes as well." - Tompkins Square. |

Artist: V/A Title: Jemaa El Fna: Moroccos Rendezvouz of the Dead (Night Music From Marrakech) Format: DVD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $21.00 |
|
"Morocco is a land of ingratiating variety and intense contrast. Its people are as diverse as its topography. The cosmopolitan Atlantic coast fuses with the Berber heritage of the northern Rif and Atlas mountain ranges as the ancient Saharan trade routes wind their way from the south into the city of Marrakech, where all points collide, creating a vibrant mixture of the traditional, the exotic and the supernatural. Jemaa El Fna, the massive central square in Marrakech, is where Moroccos ancient history manifests daily in a perpetual cycle of mysterious sight and sound. Jemaa El Fna can be translated as: Meeting Place of the Dead, the mosque at the end of the world or the mosque that came to nothing; a sly reference to the Saadian Sultan Ahmed el Mansours aborted attempt to build a mosque there several hundred years ago. The Meeting Place of the Dead, a suitably chilling phrase which conjures an aura of exoticism and savage justice to an otherwise fully functional public square, has continued unabated for centuries. By Day it serves as a venue where magicians, fortune tellers, herbalists, acrobats, monkey handlers, snake charmers, dentists, astrologers, numerologists, and sorcerers create intriguing displays of bewitching spectacle. By night, the square transforms into a symphony of mystical brotherhoods and night musicians: the Aissoua, Derkaoua, Hamadasha, Jilila, and Gnaoua. Free from the restrictions and expectations of light entertainment for a tourist crowd, this Rendezvous of the Dead is where the performances animate the audience and musicians alike into an elevated spiritual congress colliding in sonorous ecstacy. Filmed in Marrakechs legendary Jemaa El Fna, the central square of the final outpost before venturing into the great beyond of the western Sahara desert, this film is one of the most vivid documents ever presented capturing the raw folk stylings of Moroccan music. Shot at night, the performers manifest their passions right before your eyes, some drifting into extreme characters, others floating in dark, flowering breeze." - Sublime Frequencies. NTSC DVD, region-free.

| "Just A Little Bit provides an overview of the labels current roster, four tracks clocking in around 9 minutes total, each by a different artist. First up is O Carl by Bob Frankford, recorded during Bobs middle period. Says Bob: After the car accident, I was unable to move my fingers or toes for several months. But I could sing and I could play the turntable. And thus, a song is born. Next we hear from the Korg-abusing electrofreak, Jaki Jakizawa, providing his impression of one of R2D2s greasiest dreams, entitled Now You Hate the Swedes. Side B blasts forth with Day Nudes, a guitar feedback mini-nightmare created by Bad Drumlin Grass as an homage to a few of their southern hemisphere heroes. Concluding the record is the unforgettable Little Bit, sung and strummed by a certain Petomane, a fellow who sounds not unlike Lou Reed doing an imitation of Skip Spence covering Lou Reed. Full color jackets, insert featuring pictures of the artists, 250 copies pressed, priced for the Great Recession." - Milvia Son. |

Artist: V/A Title: Killing Melody - Instrumental Music From Japanese Pinky Violence Movies Format: LP Label: Ethbo Country: UK Price: $27.00 |
|
"Subtitled: Instrumental Music From Japanese Pinky Violence Movies. The title Killing Melody is from the movie Criminal Woman: Killing Melody and sets the scene for a taste of Pinky Violence. Any filmgoer new to the genre should be warned: Pinky Violence movies are not for the prudish or faint hearted. With the irreverence of Luis Bunuel, the slapstick of a Carry On film, the frisson of Russ Meyer, all combined with callous violence. That said, they can be a whole lot of fun. They have more than a resemblance to Blaxploitation movies, yet these films were made before Cleopatra Jones, Coffy and the like. The music selected for this album is not limited to Pinky Violence films, but also the New Action gangster series and the erotic avant garde of Koji Wakamatsu. Very much products of their shameless and liberated times, expressed with a uniquely Japanese mania; essential viewing for anyone interested in early 70s Japanese culture. Featured on the record are cult gloom-folk-rock band THE JACKS. Instead of their signature suicidal folk, they are represented here with one of their earliest recordings, a fuzz rock discotheque hoe-down. Alongside them THE FLOWERS, one of the most renowned Japanese 60s rock acts, beat out a hippy jazz bossa version of their first hit Last Chance. Enka goes RnB, meat and potatoes drums, clavichords, rocking horn sections, driving drones, big reverb and beats to die for. Some of these sounds could easily have been made by Ramsay Lewis, Duke Ellington or Lalo Schifrin. Instead they were banged out by the tight studio bands and orchestras of the Toei, Toho and Nikkatsu film studios. Released on Ethbo Music, its first release for several years, the label being a product of the fevered mind of Howard Williams. Normally found holed away in the basement of Honest Jons record shop, where he runs the distribution for the Honest Jons label and a select group of imprints from around the world. Co-compiler of the Moondog - Viking Of Sixth Avenue compilation album for Honest Jons, he also co-ran Rita Records in the mid 1990s, which launched Smoke Citys international chart hit Underwater Love. This is a 1000 only limited edition vinyl run single LP with insert. Liner notes are written by Mark Schilling, author of No Borders No Limits: Nikkatsu Action Cinema. Mastered in at Dubplates and Mastering Berlin and pressed at Pallas." - Ethbo.

|
"In the early 80s Onset Offset Records of Christchurch, New Zealand released nine "Krypton Hits" compilations, most on small run cassettes, one LP, a 7"EP and a VHS video cassette. The Krypton volumes did not only feature brilliant local acts like The Riptoids, G.O.D., The Oxes or Nick Slick, they also included tons of otherwise unavailable material by well known artists like Bill Direen/The Bilders, Scorched Earth Policy or The Puddle, to name but a few.
In collaboration with Onset Offset Records Unwucht now releases the 10th volume in the series, a double LP of 28 Krypton selections along with 2 archival tracks available here for the first time: The full 4 mins version of BILL DIREENs High Thirties Piano and a Devo-esque electro punk track by DROWNING IS EASY, featuring M.S. Agro (later of the Terminals) on lead vocals and recorded in 1981.
The tracklist further includes 2 more early BILDERS tracks (as The Cherry Smash and Ritual Sex), SCORCHED EARTH POLICY, THE PUDDLE, RITCHIE VENUS & THE BLUE BEETLES, THE GORILLAS (Steve McCabes pre Axemen high school band), WE TOOs Crushed Velvet Morning, a GEORGE HENDERSON solo opus from 1982 and tons more.
The album comes in a screen printed gatefold sleeve including 2 pages of never before seen photos from the artists private archives. Two double sided inserts of liner notes written by the featured artists will give an insight to a yet undocumented Christchurch scene that existed besides the great nun." - Unwucht.

"The Los Angeles Free Music Society was a complete screwball fringe music collective that peaked in the true heart of darkness -- America in the mid 70s. They self-released LPs, 7"s and cassettes in the dawn before real independent distribution and the myth that surrounds those sacred pressings has in recent years become feverish. Mixing pure sonic weirdness, musique concrete, free improv blare, fringe-noise-nonsense and much more, the musicians involved with LAFMS created a unique bounty of individualistic art. This unbelievable box of 10 CDs, which took a number of years to finally assemble, creates an awesome overview of this inspired, largely ignored scene. Features music by Le Forte Four, The Doo Dooettes, Airway, Tom Recchion, Rick Potts, Dennis Duck, Fredrik Nilsen, Joe Potts, Chip Chapman, Monique et Aviv, John Duncan and CV Massage, and more. Comes with a stunning 36 page booklet of full color photographs, 60 page book of extensive notes by the many contributors, a full color poster depicting all the original releases; all encased in a sturdy, letter-pressed chipboard box." - FE.

Artist: V/A Title: Lagos Disco Inferno Format: Double LP Label: Academy Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
| "Welcome to the Lagos Disco Inferno, the first compilation of rare, Nigerian Disco to be released outside of Africa. Compiled by Frank Gossner (of Voodoofunk.com fame), this record contains 12 tracks that represent the sound of Lagos in the late 1970s. Dean Disi (Music Journalist and formerly Director of Lagos based label TYC Records) wrote the liner notes for this album: ⿿It was the era of sheer ecstasy. The music not only represents the vibrancy of youthful expressionism of the time but is also deeply rooted in African rhythm though not traditional in phraseology. This collection of songs marks the development of Nigerian urban pop culture. There was diametric difference in the music of the discos and the music play by the groups. Disco music as played by the DJs was essentially western. The fans could connect with this easily. It was hip, urban and stimulating. The young Nigerian groups were hooked on it and tried to play it but with a distinctive African stamp of their own. Some of the artists on this record were stars of their times while others remained in obscurity. Lagos, a uniquely vibrant, gritty, energetic and sometimes quite dangerous tropical metropolis has always been much more than just a city. A state of mind where third world poverty met the oil boom, where African traditions clashed with Western decadence. Make no mistake, this stuff will have you dance in a feverish rush in no time." - Academy. |

| "A friend of mine who is in the business tells me that the stock of chrome cassettes should start to run out around the middle of this year as no one is producing them anymore. This is distressing in that not only will it lead to the sad demise of Pineapple Tapes, but also because I do all of my music with a stereo field cassette field recorder and a 4 track cassette machine. I feel like Ive finally become really good at putting together music this way and now it will be obsolete. Just like me! Putting that aside, I thought it would be great for Pineapple Tapes to go out with a bang and what better bang than an international compilation 90? So, I invited some of my friends and associates and Lasting has emerged. I must say that everyone sent excellent tracks and I did my best in sequencing the material, keeping in mind the great From Brussels With Love tape. The artists are listed below. Salud Lasting! Foust!, Karla Borecky, Graham Lambkin, Emeralds, BRRR, Dead Girls Party, Tim Goss, Frans de Waard, Asmus Tietchens, Ian Middleton, Vikki Jackman, Weyes Bluhd, Matt Krefting, The Collection Of The Late Howell Bend, Andrew Chalk, Idea Fire Company." -Swill Radio |

Artist: V/A Title: Latinamericarpet: Exploring the Vinyl Warp of Latin American Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $15.50 |
| "...Psychedelia Vol. 1. "Latinamericarpet is a non-stop collage of vinyl artifacts culled from stacks of forgotten LPs of the 1960s and 1970s from Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Chile, and Isle de Pascua (Easter Island). Historically, Latin America was part of the "new world" that Christopher Columbus "discovered" in 1492, which soon was brutally conquered by the Spanish and Portuguese. Obviously it was only a "discovery" from a Eurocentric perspective because, in fact, on these vast lands there were hundreds of advanced native cultures living for centuries. However, after countless years of violent colonization and internal wars, the independence emerged on the whole continent, launching a group of new countries with their own unique identities. But what is Latin America nowadays? A complex answer for a complex puzzle: some people would say its a huge cocktail that combines -- in a more or less chaotic way -- the ruins of pre-Columbus cultures and diverse European traditions mixed with a high dose of pseudo-tropical weathers, Latin manners and unstable economies... although thats also a simplification: Latin America is just Latin America, and it deserves to be "rediscovered." But lets go straight to the record. This compilation brings together some glittering sounds from LPs that have been somehow forgotten over the years. Although most of the tracks presented here were recorded during the peak of the psychedelic era in the late 60s and early 70s, this is not a collection packed with guitar group psychedelia, although there are a few unknown gems here that qualify as such. There are also pop and folkloric songs, childrens songs, odd instructional record excerpts, and a few other anomalies from our neighbors to the south.

Artist: V/A Title: Learning for Insipid Zeal = Pool Water, People Pollution, Imaginary Unit In Electronics Format: One-sided LP Label: American Tapes Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "Whoa! Hold on now! Heres the big one! All recorded in a one week in late April, heres the line up: Track One ) Pool Water: Super new heavy unit with Connelly, Zone One and Mega Mike Collino. Violin, kitchen percussion, slow tapes - every ingredient to make your pulse quicken/slow-en!!! The track sounds more akin to a Cook Labs recording of a train journey thru a snow covered mountain at midnight rather than three mug blokes in ultra concentrated jam mode.... Will make your skin stand at attention, soldier!! Recorded in Inzane-Dimension sound with the IZTF in full effect mode. Mad style: File Under: Misshapen Jam Growths. Track Two ) People Pollution: What the? Ultra distorted retardo basement rock trio with Juice & Raddix (AKA Raven Strain Matt and Fag Health AKA Sick Llama Heath) on guitar and bass and Inzane on plodding go nowhere drumming. Was meant to be a Justice-style garage unit turned Frankenstein- style into a twisted distorted Mega-mess! Recorded under the influence of afternoon sun, left over Milwaukee Beasts from the Aries Assault party, and the shadows of the dank interiors of the Frying Pan. WARNING! = worst guitar/bass tone on earth!! Would make Joe Young, Vorkriegphase, and Wretched sell they kitty littered amp speakers for opening a Baskin and Robins Franchise. Just a stinking rocking mess of a track!! More to come by this mutant unit! Name taken from a strange puzzle the puzzler master Tovah found in a rotten Lansing thrift store. Track Three ) Imaginary Unit in Electronics: Im sure yall are like "Why not just call the jam J?" Well, Im not quite sold on the concept of being that you cant take the square root of a negative, but you CAN call it a J and then next thing you know it has a value of 1 or-1. Huh? When rad Instructor Max got asked the question by a stunned Electrical Math class, he just looked down, counted his voltage, current, and resistance markers and said, "Well, thats a discussion for Carl Jung." Shit, lost me too. Like the button my crazed mom had (no ya turkey, not the OVERSEXED one) , = "Ninety Percent of Life is Just Showing Up." True. Soundtrack for confusion, included. So what the hell else for this heavy pack? How about a stupid-colorful overload hand painted collab jackets with artist Raymond Salvatore Harmon, painted in Automatic Writing Style. Why? Cause Tyfuss once told me "Zines and Collaborations keep the underground scene together and alive" You got it!!! Killer flow and strange new sounds will leave your day inzanity haunted with this new comp platter!!! Go nutzo young player. Edition of 100, numbered, hand done, THE WORKS." - American Tapes |

|
"A scattered collection of the forgotten and fringe from the back roads of Australian popular music, genre-less wanderers left behind in subsequent Australian archeology. Mixture of crude private press and slick major label recordings; teenage thug sharpie rock, progressive folk musicians playing with and against the strains of bush music traditionalism, Bobb Trimblesque psych-folk, brief glimpses of West Coast singer songwriter beauty, alien flamenco guitar, baroque jazz, Hazlewood aping country artists, and the sound of people missing the mark. For some this may be a tougher listen then the harshest noise, others will find it a strange and rewarding journey into the unknown losers of Australian music history. Pro press, 20 tracks, 71 minutes, full notes included on insert." - Redundancy Music.

Artist: V/A Title: Little Band EP Format: 7" Label: PRS Country: Australia Price: $16.00 |
|
"In late 1979/early 1980, the Champion Hotel in Melbourne held weekly Little Band nights, where 10 small, barely rehearsed groups would take the stage one at a time and play for ten or fifteen minutes each. Bands with names like Thrush And The Cunts, The Oroton Bags and the Soporifics all took their turn to shine briefly, and than as quickly disappear. Mostly, synthesized art-punk was the order of the day, although anything was fair game. In early 1980 a four band seven inch was released which came to be known as the Little Band EP. Morpions, Too Fat To Fit Through The Door, Ronnie And The Rhythm Boys and The Take each contribute a track. The Take included Frank Lovence from the Primitive Calculators." - David Nichols; Cant Stop It liner notes. Primitive Calculators and friends in different configurations (and using all the Calculators equipment) playing gnarly electronic/experimental no wave. Original 1979 release.

Artist: V/A Title: Live AT AC Temple - Arthur Doyle + Hollow Bush, Demons, Drug Knives Format: DVDR Label: AA Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "In Birmingham, Alabama there is a fountain at the Five Points. The fountain is of a goat lord surrounded by small animals. Water sprays from the mouths of each animal, the streams cross and a pentagram forms. Birmingham is also home to Arthur Doyle and Hollow Bush (Rodger Stella, Bryan Martin). A collaboration between Arthur Doyle and Hollow Bush is a strange thought for anyone who knows Rodger Stella or has seen Arthur Doyle. Even more complex is the image of the two of them behind closed doors discussing the approach and direction of the set to follow. What truly blew my mind was the set itself. Starting out with Doyles vocal work alone, the sound had a sparse and delicate feeling. Rodger Stella soon joined Doyle with a mirror of vocal samples. Doyle hears himself, smiles, then stops to listen. What followed was a intricate working of vocal loops and cut up sax with hand over beer electronics. Rodger Stella and Arthur Doyle are an odd couple but some how a perfect match. My favorite performance of the 2007. This is followed by the latest in live Demons visual music straight from the Invisible Darkness tour and committed to DVD here for the first time. The night ended with a very rare Drug Knives set - Demons with Stella playing for themselves in the muscle-relaxed atmosphere of each others company. Drug Knives is just that deep long stare into oblivian." - AA Records. |

Artist: V/A Title: Love, Peace & Poetry - Chilean Psychedelic Music Format: LP Label: QDK Media Country: Germany Price: $17.00 |
| "LP glossy gatefold heavy sleeve; 180 gram pressing; transparent red vinyl, 62 minutes. The Love, Peace & Poetry series from QDK continues in Chile, with 17 tracks culled from some of the lost treasures of the psychedelic music scene of the 7-year period between 1967-1973. In 1973, the Chilean dictatorship banned most rock bands and most musicians had to stop or leave the country, or take it underground. The ban extended to the retroactive destruction of many master tapes for many of the albums included here, which only just stopped as recently as the 1980s. Kissing Spell represents with "Yellow Moon" taken from their 1970 album Los Pajaros, as well as Embrujo who released their self-titled LP in 1971. Los Jaivas debut LP was pressed privately in 1971 in a small edition of 500 copies, making this track extra-rare. Los Vidrios Quebrados were one of the real South American psychedelic classics -- their Byrds-like jangle-pop coming through clearly on their track. Aguaturbia were pioneers of psychedelic rock in Latin America, who also generated considerable controversy over their album covers. Los Blops released three now very rare and very sought-after LPs between 1970 and 1973, and their sound was focused on their guitarists electric 12-string guitar (an unusual instrument in Chile at the time). Sacros were among the first electric folk-rock bands to perform during Catholic mass -- their recording was almost destroyed by the military and only a handful of copies survived. Los Macs 1967 masterwork, Kaleidoscope Men, is rightfully considered by many collectors to be one of the finest examples of 60s psychedelia from South America and original copies are impossibly rare. Los Beat 4 was one of the most successful groups of the national scene in the mid-60s and both of their rare LPs are represented here. Tumulto was respected for being non-commercial, and their track is taken from their rare debut album. Escombros released their sole LP in 1970 and are a gem in the psychedelic progressive folk style. Congregación released their sole LP on the IRT label in 1972, and El Congressos sound is the result of a unique blend of contemporary elements and Andean roots. Chilean psychedelic music was produced during a time of great cultural change and social turmoil and is exceedingly rare and very special. "-QDK Media |

Artist: V/A Title: Love, Peace & Poetry - Turkish Psychedelic Music Format: LP Label: QDK Media Country: Germany Price: $17.00 |
|
"This is the ninth volume in the impressive Love, Peace & Poetry compilation series, following America, Latin America, Asia, UK, Japan, Brazil, Mexico and Africa. In Turkey, as the 1950s became the 1960s, just as in cities and towns across Britain and America, countless musical groups began to spring up as young people felt the pull of a growing youth movement. The music that would come from Turkey would blend European and Asian influences unique to that country and essential to the cultural synthesis of Turkish folk and Western rock music that emerged in 1967-1968. The great Delta blues players like Robert Johnson created music with one acoustic guitar in much the same way that traditional türkü arrangements were played originally on one saz (traditional Turkish instrument). If you consider the ways in which classic Delta blues songs were later given electric rock arrangements by musicians like John Mayall ,Eric Clapton ,The Rolling Stones and others you will have a fuller understanding of the Turkish rock/pop music of this era. Artists featured include: Mo?ollar (described as "Anadolu pop" or "Anatolian pop" -- the essence of the ancient and mystical soul of Turkish folk music; known as the "Turkish Pink Floyd"); Selda (politically-themed music, a transformation of traditional Turkish folk music and poetry into more contemporary rock-based music similar to the transformation of traditional folk-blues in the West); �?zdemir Erdo?an (well-known jazz guitarist, vocalist and arranger; his track was originally a well-known türkü by Asik Veysel , one of the most revered Turkish folk poets); Erkin Koray (the most psychedelic Turkish rocker ever, made his best recordings between 1970 and 1974 -- the song here was recorded in 1971 with his band, Erkin Koray Supergroup ). Edip Akbayram (a türkü arranger and singer -- one of the last examples of the best Turkish rock music of the 1960s-1970s, as there was a definite shift away from those traditions after the beginning of the 1980s). Cem Karaca (another important rock singer known for his political stance); �?ç Hürel (Turkish rock group formed in 1970 by three brothers; unique for designing their own instruments: drums created from traditional Turkish percussion instruments, a double-necked stringed creation that had an electric saz on one half and an electric guitar on the other); Bülent Ortaçgil (songwriter and singer who released his debut LP in1974, an album which has become a Turkish pop classic recently reissued on CD; Ortaçgil is unique because of the absence of Eastern influences in his music, sounding more Western as a result). As the smoke from the hookah rises around you and the intricate patterns in the finely-woven carpet open upon new worlds of meaning, breathe in the music deeply and enjoy." - QDK. CD also available.

Artist: V/A Title: Luk Thung: Classic & Obscure 78s From The Thai Countryside Format: LP Label: Parlortone Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
|
"Fourteen outstanding funky performances of Thai country groove music from the 1950s and early 1960s. All previously un-reissued, carefully transferred and mastered from the original 78rpm records and presented with detailed full-color liner notes. Luk Thung is the down home, funky "Country Music" of Thailand that blossomed as rural Thais migrated to Bangkok for work in the 1950s and 1960s. Luk Thung evolved out of a complex stew of traditional folk styles and international influences. Wild accordions and Latin horn sections mingle with Thai hand drums and finger cymbals, while exquisite vocalists swagger and sing stories about lifes struggles. For fans of the Sublime Frequencies Molam and Thai Pop Spectacular series, as well as the Thai Beat A Go-Go LPs on Subliminal sounds, Luk Thung: Classic & Obscure 78s From The Thai Countryside is the missing piece of the puzzle: the origins, the home-spun, country roots behind the electric movements to come. All of the selections here are reissued for the first time for English audiences, with six pages of full-color illustrated notes and the typical attention to detail and ability to make the past present that audiences expect from Dust-to-Digital and Parlortone CDs and LPs. Compiled by David Murray, with notes by Peter Doolan. Murray is a 78rpm collector and the curator of Haji Maji, a blog dedicated to Asian music from the 78 rpm era. He also plays Greek Rebetika music, is a fiddler for the old-time Squirrelly Stringband, and is a graphic designer. Peter Doolan spent the last year in Bangkok researching the music of Thailand. He shares his passion for Thai music through his blog Monrakplengthai: Enchanting Sounds of Thailand. Pressed on high quality vinyl with a full-color cover featuring Thai 78rpm record sleeve graphics, and a full-color 6-page illustrated fold-out insert with extensive liner notes and photos." -Parlortone

Artist: V/A Title: Manifesto Rumorarmonico Post Futurista Format: Double LP Label: Old Europa Cafe Country: Italy Price: $45.00 |
| "Vinyl compilation devoted to Luigi Russolo the father of Futurist music and the first man to theorize that music has to be composed mainly by rumors and not by harmonic sounds! His music was played with an instrument lIntonarumori or Rumorarmonio which was invented by himself. Russolo is the forefather and theorizer of the electronic music concept and for sure we can say today that he was the first man playing industrial music. For this project, we found four artists known for being neo-Futurists and uncompromising industrial artists. GX Jupitter-Larsen from the USA is known for being the mind behind The Haters and for all his very futurist performances where a click becomes the main sound. Merzbow from Japan is the father of Japanese noise. This is the sound Russolo would be playing if he were alive today. With his first project Zoviet France, Robin Storey, aka Rapoon, was one of the very first artists using toy instruments. Sacher Pelz from Italy was the very first project by Maurizio Bianchi, also known as MB. He was one of the very first artists using electronic noise. Each artist gives his contribution to this tribute playing long tracks on a full LP side. White vinyl. Discs are packed in a hand-numbered limited edition of 765 copies -- a folding cover shows Luigi Russolo and his Rumorarmonio." - Old Europa Cafe |

Artist: V/A Title: Marvelous Sound Forms Format: Double LP Label: Twisted Village Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "When most labels clear their vaults, one is usually reminded of old Roger Corman horror movies. The detritus of the shambling dead stagger forth beneath an unfortunate sun, groping blindly for the unwary listener, as a cultured English narrator sepulchrally utters that there are things Humanity was not meant to know. Heres ours. Marvelous Sound Forms is a collection of stray tracks from the TV elite, all once shelved for various reasons but now forming a special picture of that time we call the "early 90s" when bands like the Crystallized Movements, Magic Hour, and B.O.R.B. roamed the galaxy. The Crystallized Movements were Connecticuts long lived last hope. At the point at which these tracks were recorded, the Crystallized Movements were Wayne Rogers (good evening guitar), Kate Biggar (piss off guitar), Scott McLeod (whose holy bass playing shook Lucifer in the very Pit itself), and Teri Morris (fearless pounder of every inanimate object within reach). Marvelous Sound Forms features four crystallizations from their peak era. BORB is one of the labels eternally cryptic projects. Three extraterrestrial visitors periodically touch down in a field in southern Vermont where they are met by label staff. A zorbnoid-to-analog converter is hastily assembled, and the BORBans interstellar ramblings are downloaded to tape by these intrepid TV staff for Earthly distribution. Two tracks are here, one Blast Off-era track (originally considered too ridiculous even by the band) and one meditative post-In Orbit excursion (once slated for a never finished fourth LP). Magic Hour melded the powerhouse guitar overload of Wayne Rogers and Kate Biggar with the melancholy flow and throb of bassist Naomi Yang and drummer Damon Krukowski. The results balanced acoustic poise with electric roar, psychedelic rush and funereal stateliness. A band that was truly dark, as opposed to just being poorly-lit. The tracks featured here include their last studio moment together-- an Untitled improvisation from 12/95. A Wayne Rogers solo cut rounds out the set. We hope you enjoy this collection of juvenilia and dying breaths." -Twisted Village. |

| "Recordings from 1969 of Tuvan folk music and throat-singing with liner notes by Dr. Pekka Gronow of the University of Helsinki. With the advent of the folk music revival in the 1960s, a new interest in Tuvan music swept through Asia and Eastern Europe. Capitalizing on this appeal, these 16 recordings were issued in 1969 in the Soviet Union. Dust-to-Digital is proud to reissue for the first time on compact disc these traditional performances including several khoomei songs plus one modern take on the classic Tuvan sound. In khoomei, the singer simultaneously produces two more distinct musical notes: a low, sustained bass note and a flute-like higher note. Tuvan sheep herders often practiced khoomei in an effort to calm animals and appease spirits. The effect is hypnotic, eerie, and drone-like, unlike any sound youve heard come out of a cowboy. The Republic of Tuva lies between Russia and Mongolia in the Altai Mountains, at the geographical center of Asia. Tuva is a land of mountains, lakes and rivers. Although the geographical area of Tuva is as large as the state of Florida, it has only 300,000 inhabitants." -Dust-to-Digital. |

Artist: V/A Title: Messthetics #101 D.I.Y. 77-81 London I Format: CD Label: Hyped 2 Death Country: USA Price: $12.50 |
| "The Messthetics #100-series launches its grand tour of the U.K. with two full CDs of London-area D.I.Y. - from some of the most famous, most obscure, and most idiosyncratic members of an extraordinary scene. Between 1977 and 83 hundreds of U.K. bands put out their own records and tapes - usually on the cheap and utterly without apology. With D.I.Y., punk and everything that came before it collided gloriously with D.I.Y.s fresh aesthetic of making and sharing recordings outside of the established music business - with only the slightest regard for an audience. Theres no common style: instead these songs are united by wit, enthusiasm, musical risk-taking (especially these London bands) ...and a conspicuous lack of pose. Rare tracks from the Scissor Fits, the Rich & Famous, Exhibit A, Different Is, Acid Drops, Grinder, Take It, the Jimmy Nipper 5, Funboy Five, Twelve Cubic Feet, Tiny Town, Existence, Collective Horizontal, Karel Fialka, and The Door and the Window. Never released material from the Homosexuals, Blue Screaming, Rejects (the final original from their 1977 demo, pre-Homosexuals), Milkshake Melon, George Harassment, Different Is, Grinder, TDATW. 16-page book, pix, 22 songs (27 if you count 5 ripping MP3s of related stuff that wouldnt fit)." - Hyped 2 Death. |

| "D.I.Y. and (very) indie post-punk from Scotland, 77-81. Messthetics first Scottish installment focuses on a brief, intense scene of ardently independent bands who got started rubbing shoulders with 1977 punk then paid no attention at all to London after that. (London returned the favor.) The sound was based on guitars of all sorts, ingeniously skewed melodies and unashamed local accents. Naturally, it all fell apart as soon as The Sound of Young Scotland became a marketable commodity, but they left behind a rich cache of lost alternative hits. Plenty of traditional D.I.Y., too... 24 songs on the CD plus nine bonus MP3 tracks. 90 minutes of music. 24-page booklet, lovingly documented with histories & photos galore. Messthetics #105 features rarities by Fire Engines, Scrotum Poles, 35mm Dreams, The Exile, Commercials, Fakes, Metropak, Tony Pilley, Visitors, Article 58, Radio Ghosts, Rapid Dance, Strutz, Vertical Smiles, Restricted Code, Brills, Rhythm Method, Hes Dead Jim, Friction and Paul Reekie.

The MMCs most famous spawn were obviously The Fall (who first played at an MMC meeting) and Joy Division (who loaned their P.A.), but the MMCs emphasis on public performance and its egalitarian ethic of shared gear, expertise, and, frequently, band-members, affected and inspired future stars and faintest sparks alike to create an unparalleled range of truly alternative sounds.

Artist: V/A Title: Messthetics #108: South Coast D.I.Y. 77-81 Format: CD Label: Messthetics Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
| "D.I.Y. and (very) indie postpunk from the South Coast 1977-81 (vol. 1: Bournemouth-to-Brighton). Throughout the age of Punk and postpunk the English music press, the major labels, and the established indies ignored the South Coast with surprising thoroughness. Their neglect blurred lines between potential chart acts, Rough Trade prospects, and deliberate D.I.Y., so that the South Coast scenes (while still insular) remained highly varied, while D.I.Y. became less a choice than a necessity. Except for the Mods, hardly anyone put out records on their own, so instead the best documents of South Coast postpunk were a handful of excellent local compilations and a raft of barely-circulated tapes -- that account for a majority of the tracks here. Messthetics purists may note with alarm that almost every band on #108 had a proper drum-kit (sacrilege!) and also performed regularly in public. Still, there are Messthetics sounds of all species on #108 -- and its our most generous selection yet! 24 songs on the CD plus 10 bonus MP3s and a video: 110 minutes of music; 28-page booklet, extensively documented with histories, photos and artifacts." -Messthetics |

| "...Cassette Culture D.I.Y.: 1979-1982 (Volume 1). An introduction to the D.I.Y. cassette scene 1979-84. The U.K.s original cassette-scene hosted some of the most inept shambling in the history of recorded music, but there was no shortage of musical genius, either (be that accidental or otherwise). From endless bedrooms filled with home-made gadgets, Woolworths guitars, Casios and soldering fumes, came sounds both stunningly simple and sophisticated -- and vastly more varied than anything on vinyl. These artists seldom made more than 100 copies of their cassettes and typically circulated them for free, with untold thousands of tapes changing hands through the Royal Post. Messthetics new series samples the more, er, musical sides of the scene (lots of cool electronics, but no ambient or industrial -- and everythings under 5 minutes!): Here is D.I.Y. at its most liberated. Twenty-five tracks on the CD plus five bonus MP3s. 90+ minutes of music. 24-page booklet, crammed with histories, photos, artifacts and an essay from Mick Sinclair, who wrote the original Cassette Pets column for Sounds.

Artist: V/A Title: Miniatures One + Two Format: Double CD Label: Cherry Red Country: UK Price: $19.00 |
| "Featuring artists as diverse as The Residents, Robert Fripp, XTCs Andy Partridge, Pete Seeger, Robert Wyatt and The Pretenders Martin Chambers, as well as cover artwork contributed by Ralph Steadman, Morgan Fishers 1980 release Miniatures truly was a first. Overwhelmed with concepts for potential releases, Fisher decided to see how many of these ideas he might be able to squeeze onto just one album. Rather than performing everything himself, he invited 50 musicians he admired to send in tracks of up to one minute in length. They responded with unanimous enthusiasm, and Miniatures was born out of Morgans precise editing and sequencing of these tracks, providing a unique snapshot of the cutting-edge music of the period and achieving legendary status amongst those who cherish such creativity and individuality in the process. Fast forward 15 years, several projects and the development of new realms of communication and data transfer afforded by the internet, and Morgan decided the time was right for a sequel. Little did he know that this project would take six years to complete and involve an international cast of players (taking in 18 countries across five continents), but it proved truly worth both the effort and the wait. The astounding Miniatures 2 brings together over 60 musicians and artists of all genres -- the bizarre, the eccentric, the contemplative, the rebel-rousers, the pioneers and the philosophers and no stone was left unturned in its creation. As with the original album, one minute creations were composed, then sequenced and edited by Morgan, again meeting with rave reviews and an acknowledgement that Fisher had produced something both original and vital to those with any interest in music existing outside the mainstream. Comprising both legendary tiny masterpiece collections, this new set brings together all one hundred and thirteen tracks (yes, 113!) in one two-disc collection for the first time, freshly boosted and tweaked for 2008. New artwork and sleeve-notes have also been provided by Morgan himself." - Cherry Red.

Artist: V/A Title: Molam: Thai Country Groove from Isan Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
|
"Molam is a multi-faceted folk music native to Laos and the predominantly rural Northeastern region of Thailand known as Isan -- home to myriad ethnic groups and provinces, and once a part of present-day Laos. Mo meaning master and lam meaning song, molam literally translates into master singer, but it remains more of an umbrella term covering over a dozen types of lam styles in which male and female singers can be backed by a free-reed bamboo mouth organ called a khaen, indigenous lute-like instruments (the phin or the soong), a bowed fiddle called a sor and a percussion ensemble featuring finger cymbals and hand drums. Lam phun and lam sing are the two molam styles featured most prominently in this collection. Also in the musical family is look thoong, a slower, more tragic style, usually lamenting lost love and perpetual poverty. Examples are heard on tracks 10, 15 and 20. Costumed Isan comedy troupes called Talok incorporate hyper-eccentric molam and look thoong renditions with low, vaudevillian comedy and high social satire on stages and TVs throughout the country. Maniacal examples are heard on tracks 2, 8 and 11. The classic recordings featured here are selections from rare vinyl LPs, 45s and cassettes recorded in Isan and beyond between the 1970s and 1980s. This was a pivotal time when music of the region began to be electrified and integrated with Western instruments. When electric bass, effected guitars, electric organs, kit drums and horns played alongside the khaen and the phin. Molam had never sounded this way before -- and due to the typically ephemeral nature of the music industry and the introduction of the modern keyboard workstation, molam will never sound like this again." - Sublime Frequencies.

Artist: V/A Title: Molam: Thai Country Groove From Isan Vol. 2 Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $15.50 |
|
"This is volume two in the Sublime Frequencies series, Molam: Thai Country Grooves From Isan. Molam is a multi-faceted folk country music native to Laos and the collection of rural Northeastern Thai provinces called Isan. Molam is an umbrella term used for numerous lam styles. It literally translates to "expert singer" or "expert song." Featured here in volume 2 of this series are lam phun, lam thuy, lam plern, lam dern and lam sing styles of molam recordings from the 1970s and 1980s. All of these forms are built from a tradition that is centuries-old. A few examples of molam/luk thung (Thailands national country music) hybrids are also featured here. In the late-1960s, at the onset of molams modern genesis, electric guitars and organs were introduced alongside the extant folk sounds of the khaen (bamboo mouth-organ) and phin (Thai lute). Hybrid styles were formed with an electrified sound that jived with tradition while creating something entirely new. Much of the music relies on stock formulas, designed primarily to showcase the stylings of various singers from the region. But, as this brilliant collection demonstrates, the rules tend to bend a bit as more adventurous groups experiment with the genre and the production. Sound effects, flamboyant vamping, odd vocal styles or trick intros and finales based on popular rock themes show up now and then, among other playful and dynamic shifts, making for some exceptional listening. So join the folks at Sublime Frequencies in their perpetual and confounding love affair with Thai Isan Molam. Enjoy this rarely-heard music, culled from vintage cassette and vinyl recordings, rescued from the silent places in which theyve rested for the past decades." - Sublime Frequencies.

The transitions between songs come so seamlessly that the piece stands as a massive effort by many musicians, rather than a series of individual tunes." - Macro-Eden. |

Artist: V/A Title: Music of Nat Pwe: Folk and Pop Music of Myanmar (Burma) Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: US Price: $15.50 |
| ... Vol. 3. In Myanmar (Burma), many people believe in ghost spirits called Nats. These spirits are historical figures who met tragic or violent deaths. They are said to possess the power to assist or devastate the lives of those who recognize them. A Pwe is a ceremony held to appease a Nat. Pwes are arranged daily throughout Myanmar for many purposes including the achievement of success in business, a happy marriage, or improving ones health. A Nat is summoned through a Kadaw; the flamboyant and charismatic master of ceremony dressed in elegant costume. The Kadaw is a spirit medium, singer, dancer, storyteller and magician who exposes the crowd to a living incarnation of the Nat. Cash money is thrown and cigarettes and whiskey are hand-delivered by the Kadaw to the willing faithful. Audience participants are often ecstatic, spontaneously launching into trance as the Nat spirit possesses their bodies while the melodically ornamental and thundering sound of the Nat Pwe orchestra plays on as perhaps the last great internationally unknown musical juggernaut existing anywhere. This collection of music documents the phenomenon known as the Nat Pwe orchestra. There is absolutely nothing like it anywhere else on earth. If you are looking for some music to groove to, soothe your mind, or relax to, this is NOT for you! This is some of the most jarring, intense and maniacal music being created on earth today. Your head will be spinning amidst the cranked reverb and echo of the vocals as they swirl like locusts in a floating graveyard as the bells, cymbals, and tuned metal bars crash and spill down an endless staircase, while the hand drums and Hsaing-Wang circle of rhythm pound the beat in and out of a million twists and turns until youve either had enough or you get with the program. Turn it up and submit. This is what its ALL about, schoolboy! - Sublime Frequencies. |

| "My Friend Rain -- A film by Robert Millis (color/38 minutes). Filmed throughout Southeast Asia by Robert Millis between 2002-2004, My Friend Rain is an abstract homage to the endless monsoon cycles of rebirth and destruction. Dreamy musical segments, fleeting glimpses, odd sounds, temple shrines, tropical backdrops, decay, death, languid afternoon rains, and mysterious celebratory events take the viewer from soaked mornings in the lowlands of the Irrawaddy Delta to humid nights on the streets of Isan province. Two tracks originally released on Millis Leaf Music, Drunks, Distant Drums CD from 2002 can now be witnessed for the first time in this film: an amazing elephant mahout playing a song on a leaf with his mouth and a Burmese marionette orchestra musician performing expertly on tuned drums. The overall experience is an impressionistic collage of sight and sound captured live and in the moment on location in Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar. Along with the DVD which features 12 minutes of extra footage and deleted scenes, the package includes a bonus CD with the films soundtrack of traditional and popular music culled from live performance, cassette and LP archives. Some of the soundtrack highlights: a gorgeous Thai Luk Thung track by Waiphot Phetsuphan, a classic Khmer performance by Pan Ron, one of the Queens of Cambodian music, and an epic Burmese pop rendition of the Bee Gees "How Do You Mend A Broken Heart," alongside folk performers, street musicians and a traditional Burmese orchestra. Robert Millis, original co-founder of both Climax Golden Twins and AFCGT, also co-produced the Victrola Favorites: Artifacts From Bygone Days (DTD 011CD) book/CD project on Dust-to-Digital and is a frequent contributor to the Sublime Frequencies label.

Artist: V/A Title: Never the Same: Leave-Taking from the British Folk Revival 1970-1977 Format: Double LP Label: Honest Jons Country: UK Price: $25.00 |
| "Never The Same celebrates the lost years of British folk: the 1970s. As far as mass popularity goes, the folk scene most definitely peaked in the 1960s -- with Bert Jansch, Anne Briggs, Martin Carthy, Davy Graham and all. By the end of the sixties, according to conventional wisdom, it had morphed into folk rock (Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span) or singer-songwriters (Nick Drake and John Martyn), prior to disappearing into a netherworld of beards and real ale. But what the pop histories dont tell you is that the seventies were the real golden years for British folk music. The scene had gone underground, disappeared into the now totally unfashionable world of the folk clubs But the musicians whod come up in the heady years of the sixties hadnt gone away: they were just getting better and better. The trouble was the major record labels werent interested, not even the more folk-friendly indies like Island and Transatlantic. There was one exception, a man called Bill Leader. Leader was the man who had been behind the mixing desk on almost every major British folk record of the sixties, from Anne Briggs first EP to Davy Grahams Anji to Bert Janschs bedroom debut. In 1969, seeing a yawning gap in the market, he finally started his own label. Some of the names he signed up were already familiar on the folk scene -- like Lal and Mike Waterson from the legendary singing family The Watersons. Most, however, were new names, emerging stars from the folk club scene. There was Dick Gaughan, a shy Scotsman who had to be talked into making records; and Nic Jones from Essex, who was close to giving up the unequal struggle to make a living from music when Leader signed him up. Over the next ten years Leader put out a series of albums of a standard unmatched by any other major folk label. Not all of it was straight traditional folk. Leader was always open to experimentation and released albums as varied as the psych folk of Dave and Toni Arthur, the singer-songwriting of Rosie Hardman, and the elaborate arrangements of John Tams Muckram Wakes. He also released the peerless song suite Bright Phoebus by Lal & Mike Waterson, and two of the songs here represent this lost classic. But at the heart of the labels output were very simple virtues: great singers and great instrumentalists playing and singing the traditional music of Britain. So here, for the first time, is a compilation of the lost wonders of the Leader label, repository of the hidden history of British folk music." Artists: Lal Waterson, Nic Jones, Dorothy Elliott, Alistair Anderson, Dick Gaughan, Dave Burland, Aly Bain, The Boys of the Lough, Tony Rose." CD also available. |

| "...Music From The New York Underground 1977-1984. "The new wave of New York art/rock groups such as DFA, the Rapture, Juan McLean, James Murphy, The Strokes, The Liars and Radio 4 all have their roots in the early 1980s New York No Wave music scene. This is the second volume of Soul Jazz Records New York Noise and delves further into the post-punk/dance world of New York in the 1980s. The music ranges from the guitar-driven experimentation of Sonic Youth, Red Transistor and minimalism of Rhys Chatham to the dubbed-out disco of Arthur Russell and Nicky Siano and Pulsallama. All alongside a healthy dose of punk-funk from the likes of Y Pants, Vortex and more. Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham (minimalist classical composer), Jim Jarmusch (film-maker and founding member of Del Byzantines), Arthur Russell, Ned Sublette (writer), Thurston Moore -- all included here -- played key roles in bringing the New York music and art scene together in the early 1980s alongside the artist Jean Michel Basquiat, actor Vincent Gallo, poet Lydia Lunch and a host of other characters.

Artist: V/A Title: New York Noise Vol. 3 Format: Double LP Label: Soul Jazz Country: UK Price: $23.00 |
| "Latest installment in Soul Jazz Records journey into the underground music of New York City in the 1980s, this time focusing on the electronic dance/post-punk mutations and proto-electro music that originally came out on mainly small D-I-Y labels. Today the new wave of New York art/rock groups such as DFA, The Strokes, the Rapture, Juan McLean, James Murphy, The Liars, Yeah Yeah Yeahs all have their roots in this early 1980s New York Noise music scene. This album features text, original photos and interviews documenting this amazing period. The album will be followed later in the year by a book of photographs of the New York scene as well as an exhibition and series of concerts at the Barbican, London. New York Noise Vol. 3 is compiled and annotated by Stuart Algabright, an important participant in the New York music scene during this period and features music from Implog, Suicide, Snatch, James Blood Ulmer, Dominatrix and many more. Beginning in the mid-1970s, the East Village of New York City, aka Downtown, became a hotbed of musical and artistic ideas. In this small ten-block area practically every musician was also an artist, every artist a film-maker and every film-maker was in a band. Experimental music clashed with the aftermath of punk and groups such as Snatch, Dominatrix and Implog blurred the boundaries of art, punk and dance music. New York City at this time featured a bewildering array of musical communities: the birth of hip-hop in the Bronx: the punk scene of CBGBs and Maxs Kansas City (Ramones, Talking Heads, Television): the emerging art music scene of Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson: the underground disco scene of David Mancusos Loft, Larry Levans Paradise Garage; The free jazz loft scene (James Blood Ulmer, Rashied Ali) and the no wave art/rock scene of James Chance, Lydia Lunch et al. The artists featured here created new music influenced by all these scenes."

"A celebration of life in the Sahel region of Africa, this film showcases many of Nigers venerable music styles. Tuareg electric guitar trance rock, Bori cult dance ceremonies, Fulani folk, and roadhouse gospel rave-ups are some of the segments included in this latest "folk cinema" classic from Sublime Frequencies. Filmed in December of 2004 on location in Niger, director/editor Hisham Mayet delivers a spontaneous, raw, and inspiring collection of images, music, and ceremony (again with a single camera presentation) from a nation mired in poverty and continual post-colonial disappointment. Quoting from Mayets liner notes: " This is not music as commodity, this is music as survival. There is a saying in Niger that goes, when we die we know we are going to heaven because we already live in Hell, well I think its more like the purgatory that we all live in and they sure have managed to transcend with an incredible natural resource: Music.

Artist: V/A Title: Night Recordings From Bali Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "The island of Bali is Indonesias most popular place. With the modern beach resorts at Kuta and Legian, the lovely, tropic interior of palm-covered hills and rice paddies, and a rich variety of art, dance and music, the island is a destination of choice for travelers around the world. But, regardless of their increasing role of servicing an ever-demanding tourist industry, the Balinese are a strong-willed and tight-knit society. The island is a tiny enclave of Hinduism within a massive nation of Islam, yet, their Gamelan music is faster, tighter, and louder than their mighty neighbors to the west, the Javanese. Balinese Gamelan stylings and the Ketchak dance are legendary throughout the world and have been immortalized in sound recordings and on film for decades. But, beneath the creeping exterior of a pseudo-western culture slowly overtaking an amazing tradition of unique human expression, the moods of the island are governed by magic and superstition. The hills, forests, rivers, and crossroads are alive with tales of demons (Leyaks) and a flesh-eating Ogress (Rangda). A lesser-known darker side of Balinese life secretly balances the lighter side tropical paradise of tourist brochures. This CD is entirely composed of field recordings from August and September of 1989. The majority of the recordings were made at night in and around the villages of Peliatan and Ubud. Amidst the excerpts from Gamelan and Ketchak are sounds of the forests and mysterious crossroads where packs of dogs seem to take on forms of angry demons. Also encountered here are odd folk stylings for flute and drum, outdoor village theatre, and other sound anomalies from the center of Balinese culture." - Sublime Frequencies |

Greh and V invite the now deep crew black to they hut, and on the way I had a walkman in the whip, so i popped in Ds master, hit record and the stop watch for a minute and me and the Connartist sat in silence for a minute and recorded the second track BIRTH REFUSAL. As we got to Grehs, we assembled all the jammers present and hit em up for a minute, all on three different Walkmans all on the original master tape. Was totally strange, Sick Llama was just standing in a yard with the crew looking at him pointing a recorder his way while nothing happened. It was like a very strange gig. So after everyone at the party got recorded/ trapped in NO SOUND, some the garage, some inside a bathroom whilst the crew stared at the close door, someone had the idea to call up some jammers. So No Fucker Johnny, Romero, others all held on the line for a minute of NOTHING. Totally rules. The end result sounds like a Folkways experiment. I ended up coming home and getting busted for "recording silence and not grabbing the Air Condition Window Unit" which was the only reason i went Grehs begin with. Hey, Window AC Unit or not, you are still KOOL with this platter!! Heres the Full Iiterary, recorded in order, no overdubs or tom foolery, no voices nothing, just weird hiss and an occasional bird chirp in lonesome...

Artist: V/A Title: Nohio Format: 7 Cass Box Set Label: Together Tapes Country: USA Price: $36.00 |
| "A lot has changed in the 4 years since I found the box of medical noise cassettes that would inspire the Nohio tape series. Many of the artists featured no longer live there, some projects no longer exist, and a whole new crop of sickos has clawed up into place. Each volume of the original tapes were released in an extremely limited edition of 30-33 copies and featured one of my favorite Ohio artists on one side and the found med fucked sounds on the other. The project served as a transition from my involvement with Epicene (who the original tapes were co-released with) and living in Ohio to Together and moving to Portland. The box represents a sliver of what was going on in Ohio at the time but is a personal snapshot of the weirdo scene in Ohio circa 2004. For this set Mike Shiflet has provided a bonus side of heavily concentrated visceral nerve noise not a part of the original series, which serves as a tribute to Ohio friends. Plus the inclusion of my favorite "found medical sound" side with the name Samuel T. Washington enscribed on the original. All boxes feature heavily painted, silkscreened artwork, with all over tape labels and strange silkscreened patches all glued together and clear gunked over. This an edition of 100. Includes Leslie Keffer, Iovae, 16 Bitch Pile-Up, Ultra // Vires, Jason Zeh, To-Night Golden Curls, Steam Drapula, Organs, Yes,Collapse, Burning Star Core, Crack In Iraq, Sword Heaven, Mike Shiftlet, and Samuel T.

"During the late 1970s and early 1980s the Pacific Northwest witnessed a surge of idiosyncratic creativity that, for a time, banished the slack-jawed banality of mainstream music and art to the shabby bargain basement of the cultural wasteland.

Directed and produced by video pioneer MIKE LASTRA, the film is a narrative told by musicians and artists via interviews, performances on video, photographs and vintage news clips. Bands that appear include THE WIPERS, POISON IDEA, THE RATS (later to become DEAD MOON), DEAD KENNEDYS, SMEGMA, THE BAGS, SADONATION, NEO BOYS, and THE STYPHNOIDS.

Artist: V/A Title: Nova Popularna Format: LP Label: Decemberism Country: Germany Price: $30.00 |
| "The first release on Decemberism records is a document of the temporary bar that the artists Lucy McKenzie and Paulina Olowska ran for one month in Warsaw, 2003, in collaboration with Foundation Gallery Foksal. In a limited release of 1000, with extravagant pop-up gatefold sleeve, the LP presents the music of: donAteller, Bianca Glazebrook, Mathilde Rosier, Nightshift [forthcoming release on Kompakt], Marcin Dutka. All of whom played live in the illegal salon, many performing material specially written for Nova Popularna. An eclectic mix including house, show tunes and prepared piano, the record reflects the amalgam of finesse that was that place. donAteller is an ongoing collaborative project from London. The work comprises records, CDs, live performance, video, various forms of publicity and other strategies associated with the promotion and distribution of pop music. All tracks involve the re-editing and mis-matching of popular melodies and lyrics. donaAteller are, were, or have been, at various times Ed Liq, Mark Leckey, Bonnie Camplin and Enrico David. They have released CDs, artefacts and 7s through High Society Records, Cabinet and GBE. Bianca Glazebrook was born in 1975 in London. She studied vocals at the Warsaw Academy of Music, graduating in 2000. Biancas repertoire is a mixture of classical jazz, blues and cabaret songs, which she performs in galleries and salons in Warsaw and London. She also performs with experimental audio-visual group RH+, whose first recordings are to be release soon. Mathilde Rosier lives and works in the rural outskirts of Versailles, devoting her time to filmmaking, painting and song writing. Her work featured here was performed live as a duet with a hidden piano which emanated from behind a curtain, actually generated by a soundsystem. Nightshift are the Berlin artists Makus Selg and Marcel Hüppauff. Their music blends samples from Ibiza house, soul and cock rock with vocals, performed in a ravishing style. Releases include on their own Parfüm label, through L`AGE D´OR / LADO Musik and we currently await the Christmas 2004 release of their first album Still Crazy After All These Years on DIAL records. Marcin Dutka was born in 1974, and studied painting and mural design in the Academy of Fine Art in Warsaw, finishing his MA degree in 1999. Since seven years old he had taken violin lessons, but when twenty he decided to concentrate on investigations in music with piano. He uses piano as a whole body instrument. He still works in fine art, painting and music and often combines all of the above. Some of the recorded concerts include: Teatr Studio, â Szpachla na Fortepianâ 2004, Kielce â Preparated Pianoâ 2003, Marcin Dutka also makes music for short length feature films. Decemberism is a label based in Glasgow devoted to new music and the spoken word. Particular attention to detail is given considering vinyl LPs and their attendant sleeves as objects of beauty. Upcoming releases for 2005 include Cosey Fanni Tutti, Lucy McKenzie and Paulina Olowska, Bonnie Camplin, Alasdair Gray and Joanne Tatham and Tom O Sullivan." - Decemberism. |

Artist: V/A Title: Oh, Run Into Me, But Dont Hurt Me! Format: LP Label: Sub Rosa Country: Belgium Price: $15.00 |
| "...Female Blues Singers - Rarities 1923-1930. The Sub Rosa label presents a collection of works from obscure and forgotten female blues singers. These voices have survived, through hardship and death, through the dark years of The Great Depression, when profoundly sincere and ferociously ironic blues were at their peak. However, this selection does not constitute a theme-based anthology: it is simply a few little-known female blues singers whose ambiguous leanings, double-entendres, and uncompromising crudeness had been censored by the propriety of their times ruled by sanctimonious prudishness and despicable segregation. These women were expressing a radically new form, or perhaps an ancient, primitive one that plumbs the depths of a universal heartache. Featuring Lucille Bogan, Virginia Liston, Lil Johnson, Margaret Johnson, Monette Moore, Margaret Carter, Jenny Pope, Lena Henry, Anna Jones, Rosa Henderson, Coletha Simpson, Martha Copeland, Ivy Smith and Memphis Minnie." - Sub Rosa. |

Artist: V/A Title: Okkulte Stimmen Mediale Musik Format: 3 CD Box Set Label: Suppose Country: Germany Price: $65.00 |
| Recordings Of Unseen Intelligences 1905-2007. "No comprehensive collection of audio documents of paranormal phenomena has been published so far. This audio box consists of three CDs. The first contains examples of trance speech, direct voices and clairvoyance. The second CD contains recordings of xenoglossy and glossolalia, including ethnological material. The third CD presents paranormal music, rappings, and other poltergeist manifestations as well as so-called Electronic Voice Phenomena. Although occult phenomena are an integral part of cultural history, their reality is discussed controversially. For the recordings collected here, the question was not so much whether such phenomena are real or manipulated, illusion or deception, supernatural-otherworldly or simply of human nature. They are rather presented as authentic documents with their particular atmosphere and their characteristic intensity. Our goal was to demonstrate, with a phenomenological overview, the audible diversity and the width in form and content of such phenomena. Some of the audio examples could hardly be categorized because paranormal events admit different interpretations. For instance, when is a poltergeist case a case of possession, or vice versa? Or how clear and reliable is the distinction of xenoglossy and glossolalia? This collection is decisively determined by the availability or sparseness of the material. Only for Electronic Voice Phenomena there is a cornucopia of examples; most other documents, such as the recordings of mediumistic seances before the second world war, are unique rarities." - Andreas Fischer, Thomas Knoefel (from the liner notes). Includes 40-page booklet. Recordings include "Voices From Possessed Children: Janet (11) and Margaret (13)" (1978), "Minnie Harrison And The Christmas Party Sitting: Sam Speaks Through Trumpet.; Douglas Materialises and Speaks" (1954), trance-breathing from the 1930s, "compositions from the other side, received, recorded or played via spiritualist mediums" and a lot more to keep you up at night. |

From resonant bow-drone, to frenetic fret-runs to delicate, circular acoustic musings to sitar fever-dreams, no matter the nationality, there is a resonance and truth in this music that is ancient, timeless and transcendent.

Artist: V/A Title: OZ Days Format: Double CD Label: OZ Country: Worlds Leading Terrorist State Price: $20.00 |
| "New CD reissue of the super-rare 1973 2LP set commemorating the Oz Days benefit festival for the owner of Tokyos legendary Oz Rock Cafe, which had been shut down after one too many drug busts. (Japrocksampler). Without a single doubt, this is one of the holy grails of the Japanese early seventies lysergic psych scene, together with Speed Glue & Shinki, Sato Masahiko & Soundbreakers and People/Ceremony. Privately released in a tiny edition on the Oz Records label way back in 1973, the original artifact was and is till this day the only legitimate recording on vinyl to feature the Rallizes and Acid Seven, in addition to a side each from Minami Masato and the legendary Taj Mahal Travellers. Each of the four bands has a whole side to their disposal onto which they were allowed to open up the sonic floodgates to Valhalla. The music is completely stellar, mind-boggling and just jaw-droppingly great, leaving you, the listener, gasping for air on several moments while spinning this disc since your vital organs will just forget to function properly upon being exposed to this archeological sonic gem. Kosugis clitter-clatter Fluxus-induced ramshackle psychedelic drone unit the Taj Mahal Travelers put down a stunning outer-worldly and almost transcendental performance, and the Rallizes venture into an ephedrine soaked sub-linear universe of ear ripping feedback and slowed down stroboscopic madness. Authentic packaging, with hand-stamped outer bag and gatefold insert. The Les Rallizes Denudes and Taj Mahal Travellers sides have been briefly reissued before -- heres the complete picture!" New, much lower price.. Highly recommended! |

Artist: V/A Title: Pakistan: Folk and Pop Instrumentals 1966-1976 Format: Double LP Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $29.00 |
| "Spending the greater part of the last decade assembling this masterpiece while tracking down most of the musicians in the process, Stuart Ellis of Radiodiffusion International has compiled a mind-blowing set of Pakistani instrumentals spanning the period between 1966 and 1976. Its all here: rock and roll beat, surf, folk traditional mixed with pop, film tunes, electric guitars, sitar and organ solos, brilliant percussion and arrangements crafted by the grooviest bands of the period: The Panthers, The Mods, The Bugs, The Blue Birds, The Abstracts, The Aay Jays, The Fore Thoughts, Nisar Bazmi, and Sohail Rana. Situated between Afghanistan, India and Iran, the collision of cultural influences in Pakistan gave birth to music that was, and still is, unlike anything heard anywhere else on the planet. By the late 1960s, previous restrictions on musical expression began to soften and bands that were playing American and British pop covers became popular in Karachis burgeoning night club scene and at private dance parties. Long hair came into fashion among young men and hashish became the popular drug of choice on college campuses across Pakistan. Soon, hippies from both North America and Europe began flocking to Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar. Very few of the bands that formed during this time actually got to record. Like their neighbors in India, the Pakistani record industry was more focused on releasing "filmi" music, which had just started to incorporate the electric guitar and electric sitar. Pakistans musical revolution ended in June 1977 after a coup détat and the establishment of a pure Islamic state governed by Sharia law. This marked the end of the "Swinging 70s" in Pakistan as night clubs and alcohol were banned throughout the country. Television and cinema, as well as popular music, were now subjected to government censorship. After the clamp-down, many Pakistani musicians left the country and moved to America, Canada and England. The audio quality here is top-notch, sourced straight from the original EMI Pakistan masters. This limited 2LP set is housed in a heavy-duty full-color gatefold jacket with superb photos of the musicians and extended liner notes by compiler Stuart Ellis." - Sublime Frequencies. |

Artist: V/A Title: Perspectives and Distortion Format: CD Label: Cherry Red Country: UK Price: $8.00 |
| “Although “Pillows and Prayers” is the best-known sampler of the label, its precursor “Perspectives and Distortions” (1981) includes many non-Cherry Red artists, which makes it very interesting. In fact, when I bought this compilation in 1981, it was a stunning overview of British experimental rock/pop/alterntive music, played by loads of people Id never heard of… and a few (like Robert Fripp) that I knew. Time tells us that experimental music can often date really quickly, but most of the music on this comp doesnt. It holds together beautifully, which is surprising because putting arch punks like the Virgin Prunes and Mark Perry in with Kevin Coyne and Robert Fripp, for instance, seems quite out there. Still a lot of names here that I don’t know/remember (A.Tent, the Lemon Kittens), but Matt Johnson (soon to be The The) and Eyeless in Gaza became crucial listening. Listen to it today, and you too might be inspired to check out some new names.” Totally uncommercial music which bordered on the Avant Garde; Outsider Music before anyone thought up the name." - Lion. Features CLAIRE THOMAS and SUSAN VEZEY (STORM BUGS), MATT JOHNSON, VIRGIN PRUNES, LOL COXHILL, LEMON KITTENS, EYELESS IN GAZA, KEVIN COYNE, MARK PERRY, BEN WATT, TWO DAUGHTERS, KEVIN HARRISON, THOMAS LEER, FIVE OR SIX, MORGAN FISCHER, ROBERT FRIPP, A TENT and DAVID JACKMAN (ORGANUM). |

Artist: V/A Title: Pictures of Sound: One Thousand Years of Educed Audio: 980-1980 Format: CD/Book Label: Dust-To-Digital Country: USA Price: $48.00 |
| "Using modern technology, Patrick Feaster is on a mission to resurrect long-vanished voices and sounds--many of which were never intended to be revived. Over the past thousand years, countless images have been created to depict sound in forms that theoretically could be "played" just as though they were modern sound recordings. Now, for the first time in history, this compilation uses innovative digital techniques to convert historic "pictures of sound" dating back as far as the Middle Ages directly into meaningful audio. It contains the worlds oldest known "sound recordings" in the sense of sound vibrations automatically recorded out of the air -- the groundbreaking phonautograms recorded in Paris by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville in the 1850s and 1860s -- as well as the oldest gramophone records available anywhere for listening today, including inventor Emile Berliners recitation of "Der Handschuh," played back from an illustration in a magazine, which international news media proclaimed to be the oldest audible "record" in the tradition of 78s and vintage vinyl. Other highlights include the oldest known recording of identifiable words spoken in the English language (1878) and the worlds oldest surviving "trick recording" (1889). But Pictures of Sound pursues the thread even further into the past than that by "playing" everything from medieval music manuscripts to historic telegrams, and from seventeenth-century barrel organ programs to eighteenth-century "notations" of Shakespearean recitation. In short, this isnt just another collection of historical audio--it redefines what "historical audio" is. The CD is packaged in a deluxe 144-page hardback book (10 x 8 inches) with 164 full-color images with gold-foil stamping on the cover and spine." -Dust-To-Digital. |

Artist: V/A Title: Pomegranates Format: CD Label: B-Music Country: USA Price: $17.00 |
| "Its no accident that the phoenix is an exalted moral, mythical, and figurative symbol in Iran. Like the phoenix, Iranian culture is in constant flux and, at times, elusive, with its existential wavering and blurred panoramas. Most of contemporary Irans artistic and creative leanings, its grapples with history and identity, are loosely and mystically conjoined and contested in memory. Iran is marked by the complex interplay of diverse constituencies, philosophies, and influences: ethnic, religious, political, geopolitical and historical. The glorification of pre-Islamic antiquity (in search of authentication) marked the socio-cultural attitude of a bygone era and is witnessing revival in the present day. The discordant reality of eastern traditions complicated by the rampant confusions of modernity has become a norm in Persian dialogue, not to mention revolution, exile, and diaspora. Like many other countries, the sixties and seventies were a time of tumult in Iran, bringing growth (via petrodollars) and freedom (under the banner of socioeconomic development) while exacerbating inequalities within the country. The music and voices that blossomed during those decades exemplify the turbulence and excitement of the age. It is worth recognizing these left out and lost artists individually and as a group in the global happenings of 60s/70s psych, rock and folk, while exploring their influence and relevance to the present day. Is it possible that there is a genus of delectable sounds and fetching images that almost exclusively reside in the elbowroom of memory and nostalgic yesteryear storytelling? Little consideration has been given to the correlation of these sounds and stories within the universal psychedelic phenomena: parallel to the shared stylistics of British and American players, and the radical politicking of their Turkish and Korean counterparts. This collection endeavors to re-contextualize these songs from the realm of reminiscence, nostalgia, and memory into a specific and accessible narrative to share and relate within the universal musical gamut. It is for aficionados, the curious, and collectors alike. We hope that Iranians around the world will rediscover these songs. This collection is, in some sense, dedicated to a generation in self-imposed mental exile, due to years of war and catastrophe; decades of lies and bombs; a fundamentalist theocracy of reformist shams; addiction; isolation and alienation; unemployment, and inflation. These are voices and stories that may again prove relevant to a psychologically damaged and spiritually corrupt society, a society whose discontents recall the latter years of the Shahs rule. The recordings excavated here are highly sexual musings, voluble love songs, and simple folk tunes." -B-Music |

Artist: V/A Title: Pop Yeh Yeh - Psychedelic Rock from Singapore and Malaysia 1964-1970: Vol. 1 Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "Until now, for some unknown reason, the psychedelic rock movement in Singapore and Malaysia, aka Pop Yeh Yeh, has never been given the worldwide attention it deserves. This compilation -- Pop Yeh Yeh - Psychedelic Rock from Singapore and Malaysia 1964-1970: Vol. 1 -- is the first of its kind to focus solely on the Malay rock groups of this region. The Pop Yeh Yeh era, which took place roughly between the years of 1964 to 1970, coincided with the rapid modernization happening at the time in Singapore and Malaysia. Sublime Frequencies has already released many incredible compilations from neighboring Indonesia, so its about time that the Malaysian groups got some attention! Pop Yeh Yeh artists instinctively cross-pollinated electric sounds of the West with Malay melodies, and added their own local poetic voice to the lyrics they wrote -- sung in Malay and sometimes Bawean. The Pop Yeh Yeh musicians started out playing in styles inspired by Western groups like The Beatles and Cliff Richard, but they eventually succeeded in creating a sound all their own -- a sound that is not only accessible to the Western ear, but also retains an undeniable Malay personality. Nearly eight years in the making, this compilation was exhaustively researched and compiled by Carl Hamm and features 26 classic tracks of the very best bands and singers from Singapore and Malaysias Pop Yeh Yeh era, including M. Osman, Orkes Nirwana, Adnan Othman, A. Halim, Roziah Latiff and The Jayhawkers, J. Sham, Hasnah Haron, Zaleha Hamid, and many more. This CD edition comes in a tri-fold digipak with gorgeous artwork, two 40-page booklets with insanely extensive liner notes including band/artist bios, an overview of the era, translated lyrics, and plenty of rare photos taken from vintage magazines, album covers, and the artists own personal collections." -Sublime Frequencies. |

Artist: V/A Title: Princess Nicotine: Folk And Pop Sounds Of Myanmar (Burma) Vol. 1 Format: LP Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $24.00 |
| "Limited edition full-color gatefold LP version of the Sublime Frequencies CD release from 2004. Original description from 2004: How do they do it? Are they smarter? Are they better? How can it be ignored or denied? How is it possible that one of the most unique, perfectly composed and performed, intense and awe-inspiring musical legacies the world has ever known is looming north of the equator physically tucked between world cultural giants India, China, and Thailand, without more than a whisper from ethnomusicologists or those who define themselves as "purveyors of world music?" Not only are the roots of this music unique, but so are the results after incorporating outside instrumentation from modern colonial and (unavoidable) international influence. What the Burmese have done with a piano is so precise in the adaptation to their existing form and melody that one would think they invented it. Burmese music has a very distinct sound and whatever instrument is assimilated into its core only seems to magnify the original intent without depending upon outside ideas relating to each component utilized. This collection will immediately bring you up to speed to what you have been missing all along. The time is now to put the real music of Myanmar on the map once and for all. Here are some of the greatest names from the past 50 years of Burmese musical history from the original recordings featuring Mar Mar Aye, Bo Sein, and the incomparable Tonte Theintan. Listen, and be amazed! Compiled by Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls) in 1993 and originally released on Majora Records (LP/1994)." -Sublime Frequencies |

Artist: V/A Title: Prix Italia Format: 6CD Box Set/Book Label: Die Schachtel Country: Italy Price: $100.00 |
| "Subtitled: The Prix Italia And The Radiophonic Experimentation. Deluxe boxed edition -- 6CD + 400-page book in Italian and English. Edited by Angela Ida De Benedictis and Maddalena Novati. After five years of intense, passionate and sometimes painful work, Die Schachtel (in collaboration with RAI) is proud to announce the release of the long-awaited massive book + 6CD boxed edition dedicated to some of the most compelling Italian radio works which took part in the prestigious Prix Italia, a world-famous contest established by the RAI (the National Italian broadcasting company) in the 50s and still alive today, aimed to award the best and most uncompromising audio-visual works produced throughout the world. The Prix Italia and Radiophonic Experimentation presents seven original radio plays -- some of them previously-unreleased -- which entered the competition from 1961 to 1981, complete with two audio interviews of some of the participants. The works have been taken from the original RAI tapes, carefully restored and impeccably re-mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi, making them a splendid listening experience. The accompanying 400-page book (in Italian and English) features seven essays written by some of the most prominent experts in this field, plus a long interview with Mr. Sermonti and the complete transcriptions (again both in Italian and English) of all the featured works. Curated with painstaking attention to detail by Angela Ida De Benedictis and Maddalena Novati (authors of the celebrated New Music At The Radio and Nine Oscillators books, both devoted to the RAI Studio di Fonologia), the enclosed book takes advantage of the impeccable English translation by Mr. Mark Weir and the classic design by Dinamomilano, making it an essential reading in understanding in-depth the musical and semiological aspects of these outstanding works, composed and realized by some of the greatest geniuses of modern Italian music. The selection includes works from artists such as Nino Rota, Bruno Maderna, Niccolò Castiglioni, Luciano Berio and Salvatore Sciarrino." -Die Schachtel. |

Artist: V/A Title: Proibidão C.V: Forbidden Gang Funk from Rio de Janeiro Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $15.50 |
| "Proibidão is the name given to a certain kind of electronic funk music produced in Brazilian favelas, especially in Rio de Janeiro where it started to appear in the beginning of the 90s as a parallel phenomenon to the growth of drug gangs along the citys more than 600 slums. A raw mix of live funk vocals and Miami bass structures, these anonymous funk tracks are spread illegally by DJs and gang-sponsored parties. Proibidão is a raw musical genre that captures the dark side of Brazilian favelas. The explicit lyrics of apology to drug gangs and the violent content makes them illegal to broadcast through radio or as live public events. Proibidão can only be heard in the bailes or dances that the gangs organize and that run every day of the week in different locations in the slums around Rio. The production of a Proibidão occurs in different ways. A DJ spins Miami bass rhythms straight from sample CDs, and an MC talks on top of it, mainly live in street bailes and then recorded through a simple multichannel to a minidisc or simply straight. No mix is done and only sometimes an extra production is done. The gang leaders, to spread the respect and love for the gang as well as hate to the other gangs, finance the bailes and hire the DJs and sound systems. At most parties, this is recorded live and spread then as an mp3 or CD to different other DJs and bailes. Its life runs a minimum of 6 months and depending on its popularity, it can go on for more than one year. The selection featured on this CD compiles music recorded live during the beginning of 2003 in different favelas from Zona Sul, South Rio de Janeiro -- a zone once controlled by the drug gang called Comando Vermelho, mainly responsible for the citys growing rates of homicide and power corruption, as well as Rios and Brazils growing drug consumption. C.V Comando Vermelho (Red Command) is a criminal organization that was founded in 1979 in the prison Cândido Mendes, on the island Ilha Grande (RJ), as a connection of common prisoners and militants of the Falange Vermelha (Red Phalanx), which fought the military dictatorship. During the entire 1990s the criminal organization was the strongest in all of Rio de Janeiro, but today the principal leaders have been arrested or are dead, and the organization is not as strong. The Comando Vermelho still control parts of the city and seeing streets tagged with "CV" is common in many favelas in Rio de Janeiro. This CD is in no way an apology for these groups, but a document to portray a moment in time in Rio de Janeiros musical and social history. All audio imperfections are left as they were when collected, as these tracks are the only remaining documents of this music. Recorded and assembled by filmmaker Carlos Casas, courtesy of some anonymous MCs and DJs in different bailes along the favelas of Zona Sul, Rio de Janeiro during March-April 2003." - Sublime Frequencies. |

Artist: V/A Title: Psychedelic Phinland Format: Double CD Label: Love Country: Finland Price: $25.00 |
| Subtitled: Finnish Hippie & Underground Music 1967-1974. Amazing collection of underground Finnish music, presented in definitive fashion by the original Love Records label. Great booklet of English notes and photos, Love Records does it again! From the liner notes: "CD1 opens with some topical commentaries on drugs and the hippie lifestyle, as well as with early Finnish psych-rock, followed by more agitatory and provocatory stuff like Suomen Talvisofta who hilariously combined anarchist ideas with psychedelic imagery. After the heyday of he Underground movement, the more mystic legacy of hippiedome was preserved by the esoteric balladry of Pekka Streng, Hector and others. CD2 presents more experimental Underground, avant-garde and laternative music, most of it for the fist time on CD or previously not issued. Love Records and the small Eteenpain! (Forward), Finlands counterpart to ESP Records, were the main labels for the kind of music heard on both CDs." - Love. |

Artist: V/A Title: Qat, Coffee, & Qambus: Raw 45s From Yemen Format: LP Label: Parlortone Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
|
"Qat, Coffee & Qambus: Raw 45s From Yemen is a compilation of rare Yemeni vinyl singles, showcasing the little-documented, evolving local music styles in the 1960s and 1970s. Vintage oud and vocal music inspired by the qat-chewing, coffee-sipping, qambus-playing culture of Yemen. Although part of the classical Arabic musical tradition, the music of Yemen takes its rhythmic lead as much from the East African coast (a mere 20 miles across the Red Sea) as the surrounding Arab Peninsula. Little has been written about the music and culture of one of the worlds oldest civilizations, and each 45rpm disc gives a small glimpse of the poetic tradition, the unique local oud styles as well as an insight into peoples day to day lives, or the highs and lows of human relationships. Overall, the compilation gives a flavor of the sights and sounds of Yemen, with detailed notes that tell the story of the hunt for music that has mostly lain forgotten in the antique markets of the capital, until now. Pressed on high quality vinyl with a full-color cover featuring 78rpm record sleeve graphics, and an insert of extensive liner notes and photos." -Parlortone

Artist: V/A Title: Radio Java Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "Java is the center of Indonesian culture. Three out of every four Indonesians live on Java. It is the home of some of the most elegant musical styles to be found anywhere. To the veteran international sound collector, Javanese music is no secret. For the uninitiated, rather than going through an introductory outline of Javanese music history, I will wish you away to the internet, a library, or bookstore where you can find plenty of information on the subject. The selections on this CD are a combination of random radio excerpts sequenced in collage form and assembled in the summer of 1989. This disc is a highly unique document featuring many angles of Javanese sound finally slipping through the cracks. Among many other oddities, youll hear several examples of Javanese pop (from Dangdut and Keroncong to Hard Rock and Disco), news snippets, folk music, radio commercials, Jakarta DJs, The west Java Sundanese sound, spooky theatre extracts, and high-octane Jaipongan variations that are completely over the top. There has never been anything like this." - Sublime Frequencies |

Artist: V/A Title: Radio Myanmar (Burma) Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $15.50 |
| "The Union Solidarity & Development Association (USDA) has grown to become one of the most pervasive organizations in Burma, claiming over 22 million members (nearly half the countrys population). Very little is known of the USDA to the outside world, but it has become embedded throughout the social infrastructure of the state. Its widely-published statutes expressing the importance of state sovereignty and public solidarity can be found in all mediums throughout the country: newspapers, television, billboards and radio broadcasts. Known as the "Three Main National Causes," "Four-Point Peoples Desire," "Seven Point Road to Democracy" and "Twelve Political, Economic and Social Objectives," each broadcast day begins with their recitation. Most of the recordings featured in this radio collection were captured in Yangon during March and April of 2007. With the authorities attempting to control all information coming into or leaving the state, rarely does the world catch a glimpse inside Burma. This is a special opportunity for listeners to delve behind the headlines and into the airwaves; to hear for themselves the sounds, rhythms, and voices of urban Burmas radio experience, unfiltered by the international press or state-spokesmen. Myanmars Voice broadcasts nearly 24 hours a day across much of the country, playing an assortment of Burmese classics; USDA pledges; and recitations of articles published by the state-run The New Light of Myanmar Times. Due in part to the near-blackout of all foreign music on state airwaves, the few FM stations that do exist in Yangon and Bago divisions, transmit a rather bizarre assortment of music from 7am to 9pm: synth ballads, hip-hop jingles, and internationally popular songs re-recorded in Burmese. This release also features assorted tracks recorded between 1994-2002, highlighting many wonderfully strange and beautiful pop, folk, and classical music styles. There are vast resources easily available to anyone interested in learning more about Burma or the USDA; this recording is simply intended to showcase the extraordinary sounds rarely heard beyond its borders." -Sublime Frequencies |

Artist: V/A Title: Radio Sumatra: The Indonesian FM Experience Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $14.50 |
| "The music and production encountered here represents a cross-section of Sumatran FM radio and to a greater extent, whats happening now in Indonesian culture. From the signature sounds of Sumatra (Melayu, Minang Pop, the Batak ballad) to the widespread Indonesian phenomenon of Dangdut, this exclusive FM only Radio Collage will leave your skull shattered, wondering why its taken so long to be turned-on to the modern pulse of the worlds fourth largest country. Some of these selections come from Java and other parts of Indonesia via the FM airwaves of Sumatras major cities. Islamic Folk, Gambus Rock, and gorgeous anomalies are also placed in the mix amidst brief news reports, advertisements, prayers, and karaoke call-in shows. Many of the station IDs could be mistaken for American or European networks and much of the music is highly influenced by western pop/rock/punk/metal/rap/etc. But beyond these obvious comparisons is an explosive musical kaleidoscope; still fresh, somewhat sincere and naive, and a bit resistant to the grasp of the worlds cultural export Moguls. This is an essential listening experience. There is undeniable evidence here of how Indonesians have crafted some of the worlds most thrilling popular music....yet the rest of this world somehow refuses to recognize it....that is, until now! (Recorded, assembled and edited by Alan Bishop/ 2004)." - Sublime Frequencies. |

| "Exact reproduction LP of a Swedish release from 1970. A bit of confusion surrounds this release: The album has been credited to Träd, Gräs och Stenar, but they arent featured on it. Bo Anders Persson did, in fact, in collaboration with Solvieg Bark, compile, edit and release this album. Bo Anders Persson, was a member of the legendary Swedish bands Harvester, International Harvester, Pärson Sound, and Träd, Gräs Och Stenar. Solveig Bark was one of a few young composers that, through the UNM (Young Nordic Music Festivals), would become a contemporary of Erkki Kurenniemi, Folke Rabe, etc. Reportage: Spela Själv roughly translates to Play Yourself. It contains field recordings of amateurs playing/making sounds. Raga Concrète, if you will. A fine, rare, and lovely piece to behold." Highly recommended! |

Artist: V/A Title: Rocky Mountain Low - The Colorado Musical Underground Of The Late 70s Format: Double LP Label: Hypercynical Country: USA Price: $26.00 |
| "Rocky Mountain Low is a unique portrayal of a late-1970s American Punk/New Wave scene. It is the first time that a Punk/New Wave scene, from its inception in 1976 through to the end of 1979, has been documented in its entirety. In their presentation of Colorados musical reaction to the initial wake of Punk Rock in the late 1970s, the compilers have set the bar unattainably high for future would-be historians. Until now, very little has been known about what transpired in Colorados musical underground in the late 1970s. Did you know that Wax Trax, who later became world famous for their record label in the 1980s, started as a store in Denver in 1975? Their early story is told here. Or that JELLO BIAFRA of DEAD KENNEDYS fame is a Boulder native? Contained in this compilation you will find the origins of the Dead Kennedys name (see RADIO PETE bio) as well as some of Jellos pre-Dead Kennedys recordings, available for the first time ever (including a bonus, vinyl only recording of the improvised, very crude original "California Uber Alles"). Deluxe, double LP package which includes a bonus CD of the recordings, as well as a 24-page booklet containing extensive historical liner notes, dozens of photos, and complete biographies for 19 bands, 17 of which are represented with recordings: RAVERS , FRONT, RADIO PETE, JONNY III, IMMORTAL NIGHTFLAMES, JOEY VAIN & SCISSORS, DANCING ASSHOLES, DIRTY DOGS, CORVAIRS, LILLY ROSE & THE THORNS, DEFEX, HEALERS, INSTANTS, PROFALACTICS, GUYS, CELLS, AND TRANSISTORS. 32 songs/84 minutes of music. All material is previously unreleased with the exception of the Dirty Dogs track which was taken from their 45, self-released in 1978. "Rocky Mountain Low is an insanely great insiders view of the Colorado underground scene of the late 70s. Wed never even heard of half the bands here, but JOSEPH POPE was an active participant, and along with DALTON RASMUSSEN he pulled together a great set of unreleased nuggets from demos, rehearsal tapes & whatnot. Like lotsa scenes in their early days, the sounds here are heterogenous-60s style Pop, hard Garage, weird experimentalism and Brit-damaged lunge are all part of the mix, just as they were in the day. The book included is a great blend of history, attitude, crappy-looking fliers and the best picture of Jello Biafra you will ever see in this lifetime. Every town deserves this kind of deep investigation. Superb shit." -BYRON COLEY & THURSTON MOORE (Bull Tongue). |

Artist: V/A Title: Saigon Rock & Soul: Vietnamese Classic Tracks 1968-1974 Format: Double LP Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $29.00 |
| "The long-awaited foray into the Vietnamese rock, pop and soul sound of the late 1960s and early 1970s is finally here. Saigon Rock & Soul delivers the goods international retro collectors have been searching for in vain for many years -- and it delivers beyond belief. Every song is a mini-masterpiece, be it heavy acid-rock psychedelia, horn- and guitar-drenched funk grooves, or gripping soul ballads reflective of life during wartime. The tracks that form this collection cut a window into a rich musical Vietnamese music scene that has long been obscured, and for the most part, forgotten. As the scope of electrified Vietnamese music from the 1960s and 1970s begins to be revealed, it becomes evident that this was among the heaviest and most eclectic musical scenes of Southeast Asia at the time. These songs tell of war, love and what war does to love. All of them were recorded in makeshift studios and even U.S. army facilities while the Vietnam War raged -- and were issued by a handful of Saigon record companies on vinyl 45s and reel or cassette tapes. Westernized forms of music in Vietnam had appeared during the latter 19th century, and especially during the early 20th century, under the influence of the French colonizers. Tan Nhac (trans. "modern music") always incorporated both domestic and international sounds, and continued to develop alongside Western musical trends. During the 1960s and 1970s, pulp ballads were being recorded by leading crooners of the time who alternated between modern and traditional forms of regional music. When the electric guitar hit the streets of Saigon, Vietnamese renditions of contemporary instrumental trends such as surf-rock, beat and twist soon emerged, followed by some pretty deep soul sounds inspired by Motown radio hits as well as funk grooves brought on by James Brown and his contemporaries. By the mid-1960s, Vietnam had been ravaged by war for years. American G.I.s had become a standard fixture in Saigon, as did many of the cultural artifacts they brought with them. This certainly included the music. The sounds of rock and roll dominated the radio waves, and Saigon nightclubs were teeming with new sounds. Musically, The Shadows and The Ventures soon gave way to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones as an enthusiastic set of young Vietnamese rockers signed on to the lifestyle, always eager to hear the latest musical trends the G.I.s would bring in on LP or tape. This era saw the birth of a vibrant rock scene, yet rock music and anything that came close was commonly referred to as "soul" in the Vietnamese genre-listings. Like many cultures in Asia, Vietnamese music is recorded, marketed, listened to and disposed of in a relatively quick manner. This level of advanced ephemera ensures a degree of difficulty when trying to unearth and discover cultural histories. Literally, most of the music heard here has been brought back from the dead. Artists featured include some of Vietnams most popular at the time: Elvis Phuong, Hung Cuong, Mai Lei Huyen, Le Thu, Thai Thanh, Giao Linh, Mai Lei Huyen and the CBC Band. This limited edition 2LP vinyl release features 70 minutes of classic original recordings compiled by Mark Gergis housed in a beautiful full-color gatefold jacket with extensive liner notes." - Sublime Frequencies. |

Artist: V/A Title: Scattered Melodies: Korean Kayagum Sanjo Format: LP Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $20.00 |
| "Sublime Frequencies releases their first 78 rpm compilation, and true to form, these are sounds rarely heard by contemporary western ears. This album has been compiled by Robert Millis, a long-time Sublime Frequencies contributor and a founding member of Climax Golden Twins. He is the author of Victrola Favorites: Artifacts from Bygone Days (DTD 011CD), a book of historic early recording documentation, ephemera and music drawn from Millis 78rpm collection. In 2011, he produced and helped design I Listen to the Wind That Obliterates My Traces (DTD 020CD), a similar book drawn from the collection of artist Steve Roden. In addition to composition, sound art practice, and design, he has filmed and produced experimental documentaries on Asian music: Phi Ta Khon: Ghosts of Isan and This World Is Unreal Like a Snake in a Rope (both for Sublime Frequencies DVD release) and is an obsessive collector of 78rpm music records and ephemera. Scattered Melodies: Korean Kayagum Sanjo is a compilation of Korean kayagum sanjo music. Sanjo, meaning "scattered melodies," is a form of stylized string improvisation developed in the 1890s originally for the Korean kayagum, a smaller distant cousin of the Japanese koto. Stark and haunting, falling in the gaps between folk and classical music, kayagum sanjo employs a gradually increasing tempo, focused improvisation (the "scattering of melodies"), elastic rhythms, and intense snaps and vibrato that seem to power through the hazy abstractions of the 78rpm recording technology (these are old, exceedingly rare records that have survived nearly insurmountable odds: invasion, occupation, war, division.) Presented here are a few of the masters of sanjo as it originally emerged in the early part of the 20th century on 78rpm recordings from 1925 to the early 1950s. This limited edition LP comes enclosed in a beautiful tip-on jacket with a two-sided insert featuring extended liner notes by compiler Robert Millis." -Sublime Frequencies. |

Now for the first time on vinyl, a deluxe gatefold presentation and limited edition pressings. Produced by Hisham Mayet (Sublime Frequencies) in conjunction with Yazoo Records.

Artist: V/A Title: Shadow Music of Thailand Format: LP Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $26.00 |
|
""Shadow Music" was a broad term given to the Thai guitar pop movement of the 1960s and the groups that came out of it -- all under the profound influence of early Western rock and roll. British instrumental wonders The Shadows (as in Cliff Richards & The Shadows) were the origin of the genres title -- also coined "Wong Shadow" or early Thai "string" music. Shadow records were often marketed as "Thai Modernized Music" which it was in the truest sense. Traditional Thai melodies were given the Shadow treatment -- incorporating rock, surf, a-go-go, exotica, soul, blues, Latin and otherworldly styles of the times. Inventive compositions and instrumental genius meet the occasional odd vocal arrangement and the results range from plaintive guitar and organ-driven lullabies to full-blown electric garage folk-psychedelia! Featured on this collection are a handful of the leading recorded artists from the time; P.M. Pocket Music, The Son of P.M., P.M.7, Jupiter and Johnny Guitar. Throughout the 1960s, these groups forged a unique and highly self-referential Thai sound. This is a one-time pressing of 1500 LP copies and each of these beauties comes in a full-color, heavy-duty tip-on gatefold jacket featuring gorgeous original Thai Shadow LP artwork, and of course, 180 gram vinyl -- so dont sleep on this one." - Sublime Frequencies.

Artist: V/A Title: Sharpies: 14 Aggro Aussie Anthems from 1972 to 1979 Format: LP Label: Sharps Rock Country: Italy Price: $27.00 |
|
"Sharpies were the terror-teen cast of a Richard Allen novel that never was. Although largely synonymous with the early-to-mid 1970s, reports of their violent clashes with rival gangs of Mods are documented as early as 1966. Bored, working-class, suburban kids, their teenage rampage began in Melbourne, Australia, but soon there were Sharpie gangs forming in Sydney, Perth, and beyond. For a while they were the untouchables, ruling dances, discos and public transport with their fists. Sharpies were fiercely territorial and divided into different chapters according to location. They would often wage aggressive wars within their tightly delineated sub-gangs, although Mods always remained their archenemies. Sharpie boys and girls wore similar uniforms: a slim-fitting, ribbed and collared cardigan called a conny, t-shirts, tight jeans (Lee or Levis), and big platform shoes. Hair was worn short or shaved with long wisps at the back, influenced by the British ska, mod, and skinhead subcultures. Sharpie girls had their hair slightly longer and often with colored streaks -- Bowie-red was their color of choice. Boys often bleached their hair. Tattoos were popular, although many were homemade and poorly executed. Their diet was anthemic glam-rock, kung-fu movies, and Kubricks A Clockwork Orange. As the 1970s drew to a close, and new styles like punk and disco began to emerge, Sharpies started to fade. By 1979 they were all but gone. Today they are recognized as an important part of Australian youth culture and social history. This compilation features rare tracks and cult anthems that were the soundtrack to the rise of this Australian answer to the skinhead subculture: with the likes of the Hush, Fat Daddy, Supernaut, Skyhooks, John Paul Young; it cant be missing in any Killed By Death type collection." -Sharps Rock.

Artist: V/A Title: Siamese Soul: Thai Pop Spectacular 1960s-1980s Vol. 2 Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "This second volume in the Thai Pop Spectacular series brings together regional artists from across Thailand. Some were modest pop players of their time, while others were major stars. Siamese Soul features 1970s hard-grooved roots funk, hypnotic Luk Thung tracks from the Northeastern Thai countryside, 1960s rock & roll and 1980s groove anomalies. All cuts come heavily laced with electric organs and guitar, thick horn sections, the traditional khaen, driving bass and stunning vocal performances with a richness that can easily be called Thai soul music of the highest order. These creative sounds formed by hybrids with Western instrumentation and genres, result in an incredibly dynamic music that is distinctively Thai. Selected from cassette tapes and vinyl found buried on bottom shelves in rural locales, these tracks serve as further evidence of a vital Thai pop scene thats been kept from Western ears for far too long. This CD comes with a 16-page booklet of amazing exclusive photos documenting the era with translated song titles and liner notes by Mark Gergis and Alan Bishop." -Sublime Frequencies |

Artist: V/A Title: Singapore A-Go-Go Format: CD Label: Sublime Frequencies Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Sublime Frequencies works its way down to the tip of the Malaysian peninsula with this superb collection of Singaporean 60s beat, pop and "off-beat cha-cha" classics compiled from original vinyl 45s. These 22 supercharged beat-a-go-go tracks defy a common held belief that the Chinese couldnt rock, groove or swing back in the 1960s. The vocals are sung in the dialects of Mandarin and Hokkien and they soar, with catchy hooks atop groovy, clever beats. Theres plenty of electric guitar, organ and crazy percussion rocking and twisting behind it all, at times reaching quite a mad and freaky state of affairs. The records finale, "Happy Lunar New Year," sung by Linda Yong, may be the weirdest New Years greeting ever recorded. Every single cut is a winner and it never lets up, from start to finish. Although most of the lyrics focus on love, innocence and festive atmospherics, theres an epic vibe to the music that rivals other extremely well-recorded and unique pop styles emanating from the surrounding Southeast Asian scenes during the late 1960s. Seminal bands of the period like The Stylers and The Silvertones are well represented here, backing up a wide array of popular vocalists with Charlie Electric Guitar Bands Sound of Japan ripping it up on four brilliant instrumental tracks. CD comes with a 16-page booklet featuring gorgeous, full-color photos of the original 45 sleeves and extended liner notes from compiler William Gibson." - Sublime Frequencies. |

"Its no secret that people judge you based on what kind of music you like and more than likely there is a band or performer who you like that you dont feel comfortable admitting without first giving a disclaimer like: "guilty pleasure". Music that too many people like isnt cool to listen to. We might be missing something but we fail to see the logic in that. Music should be something you enjoy, not something youre ashamed of. Furthermore, its undeniable that "main stream" music has influenced musicians of all styles in one form or another. So we decided to ask some of our favorite artists to record their take on the "main stream" and what we got was an epic collection of songs that are both eclectic and absurd. This compilation contains 40 artists doing their interpretations of Top 40 hits, clocking in at nearly two and a half hours in length.
Released on two professionally dubbed and imprinted cassettes, housed in clear cassette albums with full color artwork by Brian Blomerth. Includes digital download card." - Folktale.

| "All of them sparkling clean digital hand-jobs (of late) got me to thinking about the years I spent renting a room above a former farmers garage, dubbing tapes when my better-minded friends were going to college and/or fucking with crystal meth. Time flies (except when you are constantly typing in 0s and 1s to get someones laptop to cum) and certainly somewhere, a 16-year-old kid is online awaiting some hilarious critiques of the 20th anniversary Shrimper compilation Smooth Sounds: The Future Hits of Wckr Spgt double-CD: 36 exclusive songs specifically written for this project by Wckr Spgt and then given out blindly to the artists participating. With close to 200 releases under our belt and hundreds of artists that have recorded for the label, it was near impossible to choose bands for this project, so blindly into the depths of the third circle went we. "Smooth Sounds features key Shrimper acts (Soul-Junk, Sentridoh, Joy, The Mountain Goats, Simon Joyner, Jad Fair), recordings by artists from the surrounding environs that influenced the label (Norma Tanega, Kurt Ross, John Harrelson) and over a dozen new bands to keep intact the spirit of what a Shrimper compilation is supposed to be. The first pressing features covers lovingly hand-decorated by artists who have recorded for the Shrimper label, as well as extensive liner notes by Franklin Bruno. There are a number of festivals set to take place on July 24th, the official 20th anniversary of Shrimper, in Southern California, Virginia, England and New York, with all proceeds to benefit local art collectives. Keep your eyes peeled for more guerilla events that correspond with this release." --Dennis Callaci. |

"last version of the set first known as "Circusirus" (then credited to the label Petri Supply). the double record features one side each by Northwest weirdos Smegma, Ultra, Strength Through Joy, and Yeast Culture, and was pressed in edition of 400 copies sometime in the early 90s (probably around 1992). however, the records and their beautiful silkscreened envelop lay in storage in a basement in Seattle waiting for some as yet undecided element to finish them. then in late 1996, they were finally unleashed, though only 100 copies, as it was decided that each batch of 100 would be a different variation on the set, and work on the each batch would seem to start only well after the last one had sold out, seeing as it is now a good way through 2001 and we are finally getting the copies from the fourth batch. through this long process, Mark Schomburg a.k.a. Abo of Yeast Culture varied the title of the collection as well as of the label, though essentially containing the same material. as with previous batches, the actual appearances varies from copy to copy, though they do feature the same silk-screened pocket (now with an additional layer to distinguish it from the previous versions) and printed inner sleeves; some of the later versions often feature handdone collages, as do some of the labels." - Eric Lanzilotta.

Artist: V/A Title: Something Is Wrong: Songs From East Africa, 1952-7 Format: Double LP Label: Honest Jons Country: UK Price: $21.00 |
| "This is part 2 of a 2LP set of vinyl versions of Honest Jons Something Is Wrong: Vintage Recordings From East Africa CD compilation -- selections from an HMV run of more than 400 78s -- recordings made in Uganda and Kenya from the mid‐1930s to the mid‐1950s. Part 2 encompasses this material circa 1952-1957. Three main types of performance are featured (not forgetting a lovely early Kenyan big‐band calypso, as if straight from the pen of Lord Kitchener). Most are minstrelsy, with songs ranging dazzlingly through subjects including loneliness and death, bastards and cut‐off trousers, trains of fire and no‐good rich people, a murder mystery and a drunken punch‐up at a rumba party in Kampala, and metaphorical cocks, hard pedalling and kettles which wont boil. Other minstrels accompany themselves on various sorts of lyre, and guitars carrying the influences of U.S. country music and Congolese 78s, the influx of Congolese musicians, and the harmonies of Christian church music. There are also tough, raw contributions on button‐accordion and taarab music from the Swahili‐speaking communities of the east coast, and Arab and Indian communities in ports like Mombasa, which had imported Egyptian and Indian music since almost the start of the century. Lilting melodies are provided by violins or Indian harmoniums, sometimes also an oud, along with Indian or Arab percussion. Finally, there is the startling sound of four larger Ugandan ensembles, with songs about getting drunk and the relative merits of prostitution and motherhood, and the kings deportation by the British, deploying "the man who crunches rocks between his teeth." The style dismayed the missionary Robert Ashe, who visited the court of the Kabaka in 1884: "Our ears were deafened with the din which a motley band of musicians were making. Kettledrums and hand drums were rolling, horns braying, flutes screaming ... while blind musicians twanged away on their banjos, the whole making a most discordant harmony." Luxuriously presented, in a gatefold sleeve, with full notes, including extensive translation and haunting photographs. Recordings brilliantly restored at Abbey Road." -Honest Jons |

Artist: V/A Title: Something Is Wrong: Vintage Recordings From East Africa Format: Double CD Label: Honest Jons Country: UK Price: $25.00 |
| "Thirty‐five precious, stinging selections from an HMV run of more than 400 78s -- recordings made in Uganda and Kenya from the mid‐1930s to the mid‐1950s. Three main types of performance are featured (not forgetting a lovely early Kenyan big‐band calypso, as if straight from the pen of Lord Kitchener). Most are minstrelsy, with songs ranging dazzlingly through subjects including loneliness and death, bastards and cut‐off trousers, trains of fire and no‐good rich people, a murder mystery and a drunken punch‐up at a rumba party in Kampala, and metaphorical cocks, hard pedalling and kettles which wont boil. Set to the deep grooving of an ndingidi one‐string fiddle, the very opening verses exemplify this fluency and range, within an account of the coming of the radio to the Ugandan capital. Some were angry and confused -- they could hear the talking but see no one, and would not believe that the voice came only from the loudspeakers. The singer SSekinomu weaves in asides about female creativity and the imprisonment of Prince Mawanda, the kings eldest brother, before the song ends as it began, with thanks and compliments for the new technology, to the Bazungu, the Whites. Other minstrels accompany themselves on various sorts of lyre, and guitars carrying the influences of U.S. country music and Congolese 78s, the influx of Congolese musicians, and the harmonies of Christian church music. There are also tough, raw contributions on button‐accordion: "Listening to this kind of Kikuyu song is more a feat of endurance than an aesthetic pleasure," noted the musicologist Hugh Tracey at the time. There is taarab music from the Swahili‐speaking communities of the east coast, and Arab and Indian communities in ports like Mombasa, which had imported Egyptian and Indian music since almost the start of the century. Lilting melodies are provided by violins or Indian harmoniums, sometimes also an oud, along with Indian or Arab percussion. Finally, there is the startling sound of four larger Ugandan ensembles, with songs about getting drunk and the relative merits of prostitution and motherhood, and the kings deportation by the British, deploying "the man who crunches rocks between his teeth." The style dismayed the missionary Robert Ashe, who visited the court of the Kabaka in 1884: "Our ears were deafened with the din which a motley band of musicians were making. Kettledrums and hand drums were rolling, horns braying, flutes screaming ... while blind musicians twanged away on their banjos, the whole making a most discordant harmony." Luxuriously presented, like a small hard‐cover book, with full notes, including extensive translation and haunting photographs; with the recordings brilliantly restored at Abbey Road." -Honest Jons |

Artist: V/A Title: Somethings #1 Format: CD Label: Last Visible Dog Country: USA Price: $12.50 |
| "Third installment for our avant-garde/free-improv/difficult listening series. Compilation of unreleased and new, challenging music assembled by Ilya Monosov. Somethings #1 features Chie Mukai, Sarah Peebles, Masayoshi Urabe, Nick Castro, Preston Swirnoff, Andrew Deutsch/John McPhee and of course Ilya Monosov himself. This collection stresses an ill-defined region between composed music and improvisation, where both elements come into play. Some of the pieces use traditional instrumentation, others use field recordings. Regardless of construction, these are all artists working at the farthest boundary of what is defined (or not yet defined) as music, hence the title of the album." - Last Visible Dog. |

Artist: V/A Title: Songs For Nao - 14 Bands From Japan Format: CD Label: Chapter Music Country: Australia Price: $15.00 |
| "Songs for Nao (pronounced "now") is a compilation featuring many incredible Japanese artists... Most work in a rarefied world of wide-eyed, folky psych-pop. Songs For Nao includes new tracks by Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Nagisa Ni Te, Tenniscoats, Kazumi Nikaidoh, Yumbo, Andersens, My Pal Foot Foot, Pervenche and more. Songs For Nao is a taste of an incredible music scene. Isolated from the music industry at large, these artists create genuinely inspired music, fresh even to the ears of the most conditioned music-geek. The release is accompanied by a full colour, 16-page booklet featuring extensive liner notes on each band, and beautiful photos by Eigo Shimojo (a member of Eepil Eepil, one of the bands on the compilation)." - Chapter Music. "I moved to Tokyo in September 2002 in search of new experiences, and ended up staying for a year and a half. I worked teaching English part-time at one of the big chain schools in Japan, which was neither here nor there, but when I wasnt working I was going to as many gigs as I could. I already had a couple of Japanese friends before I got there, and through them I was introduced to all these amazing bands, playing in tiny shoebox venues to audiences of usually about 50 people. Most of the best bands I saw seemed to be connected in one way or another to a record label called Majikick, run by Ueno and Saya, the husband and wife team from the band Tenniscoats. They were like the Prince and Princess of this small, vibrant scene, which was built on ideas about freedom, improvisation, fragile melodies and a kind of drug-free psychedelia. The most amazing thing about bands like Tenniscoats, Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Andersens and My Pal Foot Foot is how they would sound totally different almost every time you saw them. They always had different lineups and instrumentation and played a completely new set at almost every gig. I couldnt understand how they could all write these incredible songs and then just throw them away and write new ones! Most of the bands had a CD or two on Majikick, or at least a CD-R that they would sell at gigs, and I bought whatever I could get my hands on. I listened to these CDs constantly in my little apartment, and maybe it was just being in a different country, not having my all my records and CDs with me, but it was the first time in years that I could just listen over and over to the same music, and find more to love each time. Apart from Nagisa Ni Te and Maher Shalal Hash Baz, who have had some records released in the US and the UK, it seemed like no-one outside Japan had any idea about these bands that I thought were just incredible. So it seemed like a great idea to put together a compilation, and Songs For Nao is what I came up with. I thought of the title because Nao is the name of two of the sweetest people I met in Japan - one a boy, one a girl - and they both play in bands on the CD." - Guy Blackman; Chapter Music. |

Artist: V/A Title: Songs from 20th Century Homes Format: LP Label: Old Gold Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
|
"Back when Old Gold was all about cassette tapes, we got a curious package in the mail from Winnipeg. In it was a letter from Michael Dumontier extolling the virtues of our Howard Finster cassette release, some highly amusing collaborative drawings, and a "Tape for Old Gold" crafted with unique handmade slipcase/booklet. That began an ongoing correspondence/swap of art and music with numerous Canadians within and around the soon-to-be-famous Royal Art Lodge collective, all tied together by Dumontier. As our enthusiasm for their efforts grew, we revisited the first tape in 2000, and this time it sounded like a record. Michael tracked down what musicians he could, made a few changes, and the result is Songs from 20th Century Homes, an LP with hand-screened cover released in an edition of just over 200, with songs by Eyeball Hurt and the Medicine, Drue and Myles Langlois, Albatross, DJ EZ Pot Roast, and two tracks from the always mind-melting Untanned Hide of a Young Cow (whose 10" on Old Gold is sold out, sorry), and snippets of artwork by Dumontier, Marcel Dzama, and Neil Farber. All in all, a brilliant glimpse into an odd world inhabited by people who must stay inside the majority of the year. Intimate, powerful performances and tomfoolery sure to be the life of your Christmas party." - Old Gold.
