Artist: CARTER, TOM Title: Bridge Music Format: CDR Label: Audiobot Country: Belgium Price: $15.00 |
|
"Gorgeous new CDR release from Charalambides Tom Carter once again displaying his ability to reach otherworldly planes with the simple means of steel strings. Tracks one and two are both percussive workouts: one is a lush crystalline blues and two treads a colder, desolate landscape. Three and four arm softer warm minimal exercises using what sounds like an e-bow for the most part. Another great one that stands as testament to Carters highly unorthodox mastery of steel strings. 4 tracks totalling 43 minutes, strictly limited to 150 copies in an oversized A5 sleeve." 2005 release.

Artist: CARTER, TOM Title: Root King Format: LP Label: Eclipse Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "Second solo release (first if CDRs dont count) by Charalambides member Tom Carter. White Les Paul copy, lap steel, and a purloined bell collection layered into three long tracks of string moan and slithering hum. Amanifesto of grounding during an uprooted time, an attempt to bend in the wind. A slice of a long winter and a momentary flash of cranially pooled guitar sound suddenly scattered by unexpected freedom. A guitar album (mostly)." - Eclipse. |

Artist: CARTER, TOM Title: Shots At Infinity 1 Format: CD Label: Important Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "This is the companion release to the Tom Carter LP titled Shots At Infinity 2 being released on Important simultaneously. Shots At Infinity 1 (the CD) is comprised of recordings from various basements in the northeastern USA from late 2007. Steering away from the more delicate string environments and modal folk improvisations of previous CDs, the disk features maximum loop delay drone overload stretched over long, densely harmonic tracks, retaining the melodic content and flow of earlier releases."-Important |

Artist: CARTER, TOM Title: Shots At Infinity 2 Format: LP Label: Important Country: USA Price: $18.00 |
| "This is the companion release to the Tom Carter CD titled Shots At Infinity 1 being released on Important simultaneously. Shots at Infinity 2 is two long live tracks in the same mode as Shots At Infinity 1, but more cut loose and blown out, recorded in Nemo Bidstrups record store and Burnt Hills basement jam zone. Tom Carter is a guitar player best known for his work with acclaimed psych-drone iconoclasts Charalambides. Since 2000, however, he has become increasingly active as not only a solo artist but as a collaborator. He has performed with improvising musicians as diverse as Thurston Moore, Jandek, Tetuzi Akiyama, Matt Valentine, and many others, as well as being a key member in groups like Badgerlore (with Ben Chasny of Six Organs of Admittance), Friday Group, Mudsuckers (with Robert Horton and the Yellow Swans), and Zaika (with Marcia Bassett of the Double Leopards and Hototogisu). Carters solo work covers a lot of territory, but latter-day sightings show him to be concentrating on looped guitar drones of immensely stacked beauty, with heaps of psychedelic melodic content missing from the repertoires of many noise and drone bands. His influences include everyone from LaMonte Young to David Crosby."-Important |

Artist: CARTER, TOM Title: Monument Format: CD Label: Kranky Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| "Monument is a recording of guitar music from Tom Carter of Charalambides and is the second in a series of Charalambides-related reissues by Kranky. The two tracks of solo lap steel guitar were recorded live to DAT by Tom Carter a few days before a live performance in March, 2001. Monument was originally released by Wholly Other in an edition of 55 CDRs. The first track, Monument 1 (Memorial) is slightly longer than two minutes and barely reveals itself. The second, Monument 2, is 47 minutes in length and considerably more expansive and louder than the opening cut. The album was made using lap steel guitar, glass slides, digitech tsr-12 stereo reverb, a rat distortion pedal and craftsman screwdrivers." -Kranky |

Artist: CARTER, TOM Title: Whispers Toward Infinity Format: CDR Label: Wholly Other Country: USA Price: $12.00 |

"Four live (mostly) improvised guitar & lap steel pieces, captured just before the delay pedals snuck back into the line signal. Shimmering modal folk/blues/raga frameworks collapsing under the weight of myriad microsounds, ebows, & slides and reforming into quietly pulsing soundscapes. A summation of all the solo fretwork motion up to the point where that approach was back-burnered in favor of collaborative efforts, wah, & electro harmonix. numbered edition of 150, hand-printed lino block & xerox card covers, artwork by Natacha Robinson (A Vintage Burden artist) front and back." -Wholly Other.
