Artist: EICHMANN, DIETRICH & JEFF ARNAL Title: s/t Format: LP Label: Brokenresearch Country: USA Price: $18.00 |

"I know a lot of mugs might wanna front because its jazz or classical
or piano or whatever. But that would just be dumb. Eichmann is a
Berlin-based composer/pianist who has written pieces for orchestra
where Brotzmann was the featured soloist. He basically only plays
"under the hood" so-to-speak and it sounds much more like a dude
wrenching on his 68 GTO than any sort of instrument, let alone a
piano. Arnal is a Brooklyn-based, absolutely brutal drummer. The sum
of this recording, recorded in a cathedral in Hamburg a couple of
years back is that it sounds like true industrial malfunctions. Very
dark and very unrelenting." - Brokenresearch. Edition of 200.

Artist: EMERALDS Title: Queen of Burbank Vol. 2 Format: CDR Label: Brokenresearch Country: USA Price: $10.00 |

"Clevelands answer to Lamonte Young without all the ego and bad old
man "I created everything" vibes. The best drone "band" working in the
states right now �?? Skaters are still in Europe right? Dreamy and raw
at the same time. Very mellow. Very spacious. Very good. Midwest
again." - Brokenresearch.

Artist: HELL AND BUNNY WITH GREG KELLEY Title: Burn It For The Nails Format: CDR Label: Brokenresearch Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
|
"After a garish trio-supposed to be a Melee plus Kelley---date in Western Mass it was only a matter time before this trio got together to do the scrape and crunch. Its interesting to see how Kelley approaches the 1/4 speed lurch. In comparison with Olson and Wooley its a bit more fireworks
oriented but there are plenty of glacial exhalation, abrasions and slow wallops to extend the gravenights vocab. Also where Wooley and Olson are fully complicit Kelley is a bit more argumentative--in the best way
possible--in doling out his own formal demolitions that end up with almost downtown moments of cross-pollination and genre car crashes." - Brokenresearch

Artist: LYTTON, PAUL/NATE WOOLEY Title: S/T Format: LP Label: Brokenresearch Country: USA Price: $13.00 |
|
"Melee trumpeter Nate Wooley and 30yr Evan Parker trio drummer Paul Lytton match up for this cross-generational slugfest. Wooley is in full pan-compositional, poly-formal, post-structuralist trumpet acrobatic mode with no visible safety net and really why would he need one? For his part
Lytton shows why, along with John Stevens and Tony Oxley, he is one of the three cornerstones of English improvised percussion. Using a rig that
focuses on small percussion and electronics, that he was one of the first improvising drummers to develop, Lytton shows a balletic sense of physicality and timbre that acts as foil and foe to Wooleys post-Dixon
excoriations of trumpet idiom." -Brokenresearch

Artist: MELEE Title: Bare Those Excellent Teeth pt. 2 Format: LP Label: Brokenresearch Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
|
"The second in the series of compositions from the Graveboys dis-rhythm
section of Hell and Bunny this time with Nate Wooley doing the duty on
trumpet while Olson maintains his Wolf-obligations. Perhaps darker and
more trance-inducing than the first "Bare" it sounds very much like
chamber music played by stamping machines which aint exactly a bad
thing." - Brokenresearch. Edition of 200.

Artist: TRAUM Title: Cinder Blocks Format: CDR Label: Brokenresearch Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
| "After getting rid of that thieving fuck, Traum reformats as more of a trio approach this go-round with Chris Riggs absolutely destroying the guitar chair. And what a damaged overall approach it is. The formal constraints bring something out that tends towards some of the most unknown improvised noise proposals so see light in Michigan. Riggs is a brutal technician and theres not a guitar note to be heard and the chords--if you can callem that---- sound like machines self-inflicting tonal punches. Riggs and Bunny move through all the material with a push/pull controlled passive aggressiveness that makes it impossible again and again to figure out whos doin what." -Brokenresearch |

Artist: TRAUM Title: Slab Format: LP Label: Brokenresearch Country: USA Price: $12.00 |
| "Zac Davis who has had his Michigan rights revoked for theft finds himself on the very last brokenresearch release to ever have his sorry ass name associted with said label. Heads up with percussion hater Hell Hall this is some Billy Cobham vs. Coryell under dirt filled microscope for the mass of listeners who post up as both noise and fusion fans. A one sider with brutal force, this is an excellent companion to "Built for Nothing" and really that is the most fitting title for a group that had action for about ten minutes until our guitarist decided that friends are for using. No description like this has ever been posted to the HnAm board but very few have been more honest about what they were peddling-- a document of two people who used to be cool and now..." -Brokenresearch |
