Long before the term Cosmic Americana was of common use there was a band ideally fitting the role. Back in 1976 the long psychedelic wave was rapidly fading away, but the market of private press was still in demand. The self-debut album of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelatively Clean Rivers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e came out the same year on the leader \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhil Pearlman\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's label. Pacific Is released just this sole album and was to a certain extent an original example of do it yourself. The brainchild of Phil Pearlman, the band was rapidly crossing genres focusing on extended long jam verging on Californian psych and proto-ambient country\/folk. The man, a sort of local guru, was previously involved in two other projects: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrange County\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's own \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Beat Of The Earth\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Electronic Hole\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, so to speak different names for the same group of musicians. While those two early efforts were explicitly devoted to a sort of LSD induced trip, the Relatively Clean Rivers stand on their own, merging styles and -- finally -- proposing an accurate songwriting. The first pressing of this sought-after, underground masterpiece has been traded for thousand dollars, now here's your chance to grab this rural manifesto. With much of the music being acoustic, there are elements of morphing electric guitars, smattered with strange, spacey moments creating a certain stoned atmosphere.

Even if Luc Ferraris perfect skill in creating some of the most beautiful sonic works ever is now well known to the large audience appreciating his music, the undetermined character marking the two works presented here is quite surprising. Luc Ferrari was tempted in the mid-1970s by the idea of leaving the final realization of these pieces open to the performers intervention (a perspective he decided not to develop in future researches). Exercises dImprovisation, a score conceived in 1977 and unreleased for almost 35 years (first recorded this year by the GOL collective with Brunhild Meyer-Ferrari for an LP to be issued on PLANAM), directly comes from the two works presented here. -جø¬-?phémère I (or Lordinateur -ɬßa sert -É quoin? i.e. Whats the use of computers) is a 27 minute piece for tape only, created in 1974, conceived as a kind of electronic drone superimposed by fragments of multi-language whispered voices that creates the thrilling effect of a sea-like continuum. -جø¬-?phémère II (or Lyon 75 after the only recorded realization) is a 51 minute tape piece with guitar improvisation. The electronic repetitive structure reminds some of the most radical works of American composer Terry Riley, while the guitar sounds, first resulting as live manipulated pointillistic impulses, develop into a blues sonority superimposing the tape drone and creating a heavy psychedelic atmosphere of the most sublime kind. The end of this long suite lead us back into more abstract and live-electronic sonorities. This very intense work can be placed in a context between scored music and totally improvised music. First press limited to 500 copies in tri-folded digipack sleeve.

The bands name apparently means fucked up and naked,\" which more than adequately describes their music. Formed by band leader Mizutani Takashi, the music remained remarkably familiar over the years, and is best described as high volume, raw, lo-fi, repetitive, feedback-drenched guitar-noise fests with nods in the direction of The Velvet Underground and Blues Creation, but without the electronics. Radical left-wing politics were never far from the bands agenda, with one original band member (Wakabayashi) being involved in the Japanese Red Armys hijacking of a flight to North Korea. Consequently, the groups live appearances became less frequent and increasingly clandestine. All the bands albums were released in very small quantities, and because of the groups reputation for secrecy and violence, as well as the difficulty in tracking down their recordings, Les Rallizes Denudés has assumed almost mythical status.

The original tapes were not released and were offered to me by Front Lines Jumbo Vanrennen with the suggestion that I should remix the music. I accepted the project, expecting lots of time in one of Virgins studios to play with the music and the equipment, only to be presented with a mono master tape. So I began to invent (or perhaps re-invent) techniques of editing, looping, filtering and subtraction to deal with unremixable mono material (these were the days before samplers). The subsequent work took a long time: as I thought it might be something of an indulgence, I worked on it at weekends and evenings rather than let it interfere with other projects. The techniques used here expanded my vocabulary of musical electronic (as opposed to electronic music) treatments and appear in a very different form on records made at that time, notably Fourth Wall, my collaboration with Patti Palladin, and my production work on Michael Nymans records.

The industrialist Philips commissioned Le Corbusiers famous \"Philips Pavilion\": \"Ill create an electronic poem for you, he said. Everything will happen inside: sound, light, color, and rhythm.\" Iannis Xenakis designed the architectural blueprint and composed \"Concret PH\" meant to psychologically prepare the public for the show created inside, accompanied by a musical piece by Edgard Var_ɬ®se. The 400 speakers that lined the inner shell were meant to fill the space through the sound sparkles of \"Concret PH\" and achieve a joint emanation of architecture and music, conceived as a whole: the roughness of the concrete and its internal friction coefficient found an echo in the timbre of the sparkles. \"Orient-Occident\" (1960) was originally composed for a film by Enrico Fulchignoni for UNESCO. The film describes a visit to the museum comparing artifacts produced by various cultures and highlighting their interaction, dating back to ancient times. From an abstract point of view, the composer regards this work as a solution to the problem of finding highly diversified means of transition, meant to link a type of material to another. One indeed witnesses a varied gradation of mutations, interplays, overlaps, cross-fading, sudden shifts, and hidden junction points. \"Diamorphoses\" (1957-1958) portrays continuity and discontinuity within evolution. Here are two aspects of being, whether in opposition or in communion. In \"Diamorphoses\" this antithesis was illustrated sections of sound strongly opposed to others, and particularly in organizations of continuous variations of average or \"statistical\" heights. \"Bohor\" (1962): Bohor (referring to Bors the Younger, Lancelots cousin), is a character from the medieval cycle of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. \"Bohor\" is dedicated to Pierre Schaeffer. The author deliberately abstained from giving any descriptive information on his piece, letting the listener choose an imaginary route for himself. This release presents the 1968 version, revised by Iannis Xenakis himself and as yet not made available to the public. \"Even though Iannis Xenakis never made musique concr_ɬ®te in the sense given by Pierre Schaeffer, the GRM was a locus for experimenting with his ideas about sound and sound structures. These works, composed between 1958 and 1962, show a boldness as advanced as in his orchestral approach. The relationship between Xenakis and Schaeffer was often tense. It nevertheless entailed mutual recognition and respect towards each others musical approach. Schaeffer found the piece disproportionate in terms of intensity but was indeed pleased by the dedication. The four pieces presented here, all produced at the GRM, undoubtedly demonstrate the experimental intent and the strictly physical character of Xenakis music, in that it provides the audience with a listening experience of a rare intensity.\" --Fran_ɬßois Bonnet \u0026amp; Christian Zan_ɬ©si; Cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates \u0026amp; Mastering, Berlin, January 2013.

From 1963 on he worked with Don Buchla on the development of the early synthesizer Buchla Series 100 before moving to New York where the artist-in-residence at the newly established Tisch School of the Arts of New York University was enabled to set up his own studio. Thats where Subotnicks most popular work Silver Apples of the Moon was commissioned by DECCA as the first electronic composition ever that was especially conceived for a vinyl release (in opposition to the common practice of performing live). Until the current day, this seminal album has not lost its visionary power and has long been considered one of the essential milestones in electronic music with a great impact on later generations of artists, starting from the cult formation Silver Apples to Laika, who titled their debut Silver Apples of the Moon, too. Now for the first time since its original 1967 release, Subotnicks masterpiece (which was selected for the Library of Congress in 2009) has finally been made available on vinyl at last: a new audiophile 180 gram LP that was carefully remastered for vinyl.

After the premiere of Adnos I (IMPREC 028CD) in San Francisco in 1974, a group of French students introduced éliane Radigue to Tibetan Buddhism. When she returned to Paris, she began to explore this spirituality in depth, which slowed her musical production up until 1978.

Yuichi Jibiky of Telegraph Records describes the release: The Japanese punk rock movement known as Tokyo rockers began in the summer of 1978. It incubated an independent music culture as well as a host of fascinating, individualistic musicians. One of the more striking units was the male-female duo Maria 023. Non played bass for them, and it was here that she first attracted attention. However, Maria 023 was short-lived, and Non would not reappear until the following year, August 1979, on stage at the legendary concert event Drive to 80s. Her unbilled performance at the event consisted of several songs for solo bass and vocals, and her combination of intensity and a distinctly female emotionality made a striking impression. In the months that followed, Non continued to play solo and she became a pivotal presence among the female rockers on the scene at the time. Finally, she shifted from solo to group performance, and formed Non Band. After several member changes, the line-up stabilized into a unique trio with Kinosuke Yamagishi on violin and clarinet and Mitsuru Tamagaki on drums. . . . In February 1982 Non Bands first album was released as a 10-inch LP on Telegraph Records, the labels fifth release. In the early Japanese indies scene, if a release sold 1000 copies it was counted as a significant success. The Non Band album went through several repressing and sold 2000 copies. . . . Just six months after the release of the album the group would grind to a halt. Members quit the band one after another, and with no possible replacements to be found, Non herself faded away from the scene. . . . [Non] invited two fabulous musicians, Keiji Haino and Tatsuya Yoshida, to Hirosaki, and performed together with them as well as solo. This marked the beginning of a new phase for her, and she played live in Tokyo and released a solo album, ie (2002). She got back in touch with Yamagishi and Tamagaki and reformed Non Band. . . . In 2012, the group released an album of recent live performances entitled Non Band Liven 2009-2012.\" Includes insert with liner notes; Includes download code.\" - TAL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3291657573\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TAL","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":52010375495,"sku":"19589-TAL","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/TAL004LP_PROD.jpg?v=1588420800"},{"product_id":"orcutt-bill-bill-orcutt","title":"ORCUTT, BILL - Bill Orcutt","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"For those not following Bill Orcutts drift into increasingly ear-friendly orbits in his recent live sets, Bill Orcutt -- his first solo electric studio album -- shocks with its space and sensitivity. On this eponymous record, Orcutt mines the expansiveness and sustain possible on the electric guitar, letting notes spin out and decay at the edge of feedback. His pachinko-parlor pacing, marked by unraveling clockspring accelerandos crashing into unexpectedly suspended tones, is still in evidence. But here, his developing melodicism maps a near-contemplative mental realm, orbiting St. Joan-era Loren Connors more than the cascading treble clatter of his duo LPs with Chris Corsano and others. From the first notes of Ornette Colemans Lonely Woman\", theres a lucidity and slow-burning lyricism that make Orcutts plunges into barbed-wire fingerpicking all the more striking. While no ones about to mistake Orcutt for Jim Hall, you could probably play this for your jazzbo friends (should you be unlucky enough to have them) without raising any eyebrows. Orcutts track selection mirrors his obsession with American popular song in its most banal manifestations, as radically reimagined via acoustic guitar on a variety of releases, including 2013s exhaustive Twenty Five Songs 7\" box set, and the Editions Mego album A History of Every One (EMEGO 173CD\/LP, 2013). Many of the songs from those two releases are here -- but stretched into new arrangements that explore the upper regions of the guitar neck (hitherto unexplorable on his shakily-intonated acoustic Kay), and lighting up new corners of each arrangement with a sensitivity born from years of reinterpretation. The result is a languid, freeform drift through Orcutts internal cosmos into galaxies unknown to their original interpreters -- and occasionally, Orcutt himself. Most striking is \"White Christmas\", its careening low-register melodies crashing into complex chords that transcend Orcutts primitive four-string fretboard. Orcutts original compositions are equally striking. One of them -- \"The World Without Me\" -- is unique to this album, and notable for its trebly flurry of Clapton-esque 12th-fret drizzle. \"O Platitudes!\" by contrast, spins ever-faster in the cadence of a hand-cranked music box, before grinding to a near halt, its higher-key electricity standing in for the moaning vocalizations on Orcutts acoustic rendition as heard on his 2014 VDSQ LP. With its deep-space beauty, harmonic complexity, and dark dissonance, Bill Orcutt is a stunning landmark in Orcutts form-destroying trajectory.\" - Palilalia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JtltM7B_55s\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palilalia","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":52013122247,"sku":"19846-PALILALIA","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/R-10487032-1498450583-8561_jpeg.jpg?v=1571718364"},{"product_id":"dead-body-love-atrax-morgue-s-t","title":"DEAD BODY LOVE\/ATRAX MORGUE - s\/t","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"It feels like I've been writing about Dead Body Love for as long as I have been recording harsh noise. What else can be said? I cant express enough how much of an influence Italian harsh noise has had on my own personal works, but It also lets me and several peers investigate the techniques and styles of the 1990s harsh noise and the atmosphere that was created expressed from different regions of the world. The more I listen and revisit the material of 90s Japanese harsh noise, the 80s UK power electronics, and the celebrated rougher tendencies of 90s Americanoise, the Italian material and different projects flare up that dictate a powerful Coles Notes of harsh noise and how it can be deconstructed and eventually materialized into vivisected lines and layers of crumbling, throbbing, cracking and creaking sound. I always trail back to Mauthausen Orchestra and its insurmountable importance to abrasive sound and its developments, especially in sub sect harsh noise genres of the 2010s... Then you take the obsessions and the lines of moving sound and have them expressed by something like the fanatical Atrax Morgue. Fearsome concentration and jarring meditation on lines of warbling and predatory analog synth work portray something invariably real about the obsession acted out from the Italian project Atrax Morgue. A different display of penetrative and studied sound seethes from Atrax Morgue as now the listener and fan of Italian industrial and harsh noise is confronted with another genre defining sound that pits throbbing and rough synth against haunting and manic vocalizations, disturbing the listener with its undeniable dedicated concentration. The resulting split tape with material from Dead Body Love and Atrax Morgue isn't as black and white as one might think. Dead Body Love makes use of dark and rough early industrial-like lines and meld into the eventual crushing forces that he is known for. In the vein of Atrax Morgue, samples are also manipulated and drawn out for the listener reminding us of his more delay heavy work. Atrax Morgues material works with DBLs material almost seamlessly via further haunting and throbbing dark material, slowly churning and deconstructing into his own distinct sound of heavily concentrated focus and mania for singular sounds and how they can repeat, move and create total atmosphere.\" - Sam McKinlay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gcSEMIIVVjg\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urashima","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":52013210183,"sku":"19910-URASHIMA","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/R-9522830-1482055153-8683_jpeg.jpg?v=1603386214"},{"product_id":"sandoz-lab-technicians-new-botany","title":"SANDOZ LAB TECHNICIANS - New Botany","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"We've been working on this album since well before 'The Western Lands' was recorded, and feel that it encompasses some of our finest live and studio work.

Merzbow, the moniker of Masami Akita (born in Tokyo in 1979), stands as the most important artists in noise music. Inspired by Dadaism and Surrealism, Akita took the name for his project from German artist Kurt Schwitterss pre-war architectural assemblage The Cathedral of Erotic Misery\" or \"Merzbau\". Just as Schwitters attacked the entrenched artistic traditions of his time with his revolutionary avant-garde collages, so too would Akita, challenging the contemporary concept of what is called music. Merzbow would draw further influence from the Futurist movement. Not only would he embrace the Futuristss love of technology and the machine civilization, but he would push their fondness for noise to the very boundaries of the extreme. Working in his home, he quickly gained notoriety as a purveyor of a musical genre composed solely of pure, unadulterated noise. Consequently, in 1980 Masami founded the first noise label, Lowest Music \u0026amp; Arts. Remblandt Assemblage was recorded and mixed at his home in the same year and originally released on cassette the following year on his own label. For the recording of this tape, Masami used a wide range of instruments: tapes, prepared acoustic guitar, tabla, junk percussion, microphone, radio, egg cutter and noise. This is the very first Merzbow album to use tape manipulations. Only a few copies were made and distributed on cassette in 1981, it was otherwise not widely available until being partially reissued on the legendary Merzbox in 2000. For the first time, the complete 1981 cassette version is released on double vinyl here.

Rok Y Roll imagines an alien race based on a planet far away who have received radio signals beamed from earth in the '50s: rock and roll music. They assume that these signals are the language of the earth people and, inspired to communicate, concoct a suitable reply. Unfortunately, their culture has no concept of music or song and, as a consequence, their replies are somewhat skewed; Rok Y Roll is the result. The music, recorded mostly on lo-fi tape machines, and borrowed four-track cassette machines, found its locus in the various squats and derelict mansions that defined a now long-ago London. Important to this was the ever-present involvement of non-musicians and the untutored approaches and altered techniques they employed. Rejecting the wannabe naked careerism of 80's pop, the scene around It's War Boys's aim was, as Susan B. Smoothe said, \"nothing less than to turn the whole rotting wriggling carapace of music on its back and carefully prod each segment with a perceptually sharpened stick.\" The question remains, was Rok Y Roll a mining of past forms of inverted science fiction, in which chronologically displaced music functioned as an alien artifact? Or, was it an all-out attack on popular musical forms? Primarily, Rok Y Roll could be read as a celebration of utter naffness. Vic Serf and his collaborators asked the question, \"How atrocious could a music and the idea behind it be? What would result?\" Here you have the answer!

LP one is a remastering and reworking of Power Pieces Positive Force from 1987, originally a 90-minute cassette released in an edition of 60 copies. However, as 20+ minutes have been reissued as the 'A Different Kind of Connie' 3\" CDR, and another 30 or so minutes involved large swaths of sampling that would have raised serious copyright infringement\/clearance issues, Scott decided to revisit the master tapes to create this reworking of his germinal recording. For Chop Shop fans, this disc provides a fascinating aural journey to the big bang of the Chop Shop sound. The second LP, Scraps, was originally released as a C-45 cassette in 1989 in an edition of 200 copies. Scraps is, by Scott's own account, 'the first truly coalesced and focused Chop Shop release,' utilizing the home-built speaker constructions that cemented Chop Shop's reputation. The hallmark sounds -- machine vibration, furnaces, the rattling inner echoic walls of a factory, pinging frequencies, and the magnetic tape itself--all come to life in these recordings. Primer also contains liner notes by Blake Edwards and Gen Ken Montgomery. This release will be of greatest interest to, in addition to Chop Shop fans, fans of the first wave of 'industrial' and experimental music: Hafler Trio, Joe Colley, Einstruzende Neubaten, Organum, Z'EV, Haters, Survival Research Laboratories, SPK, NON, Nurse With Wound, etc.\" - C.I.P.","brand":"C.I.P.","offers":[{"title":"Double LP","offer_id":14337678049343,"sku":"","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/CIP026LP_CU.jpg?v=1571718598"},{"product_id":"eastman-julius-unjust-malaise","title":"EASTMAN, JULIUS - Unjust Malaise","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"This three-disc set marks the first appearance on disc of the music of the African-American composer Julius Eastman (1940-1990), who died fourteen years ago under unexplained circumstances and whose musical legacy was thought lost. This comprehensive and definitive document, which comprises almost all of Eastman's signature works, will undoubtedly be a revelation for those who have thus far been unable to hear his work. In his book \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Music in the Twentieth Century\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, composer\/author Kyle Gann briefly sums up Eastman's work and its importance: 'Born in New York, he graduated from the Curtis Institute in composition and was discovered by Lukas Foss, who conducted his music, including \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eStay On It\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1973), one of the first works to introduce pop tonal progressions and free improvisation in an art context... Applying minimalism's additive process to the building of sections, he developed a composing technique he called 'organic music,' a cumulatively overlapping process in which each section of a work contains, simultaneously, all the sections which preceded it. The pieces he wrote in this style often had intentionally provocative titles intended to reinterpret the minorities Eastman belonged to in a positive light: for example, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvil Nigger\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eCrazy Nigger\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eGay Guerrilla\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (all circa 1980). These three pieces, all scored for multiple pianos, build up immense emotive power through the incessant repetition of rhythmic figures.' Eastman was an energizing underground figure, one whose forms are clear, whose methods were powerful and persuasive, and whose thinking was supremely musical. His works show different routes minimalism might have taken, and perhaps some of those will now be followed up. This set of discs is a bold beginning to restoring to history the works of one of the most important members of the first post-minimalist generation.\" - New World.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"New World","offers":[{"title":"Triple CD","offer_id":14479559589951,"sku":"","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/NW80638CD_CU.jpg?v=1571718602"},{"product_id":"funke-maxine-home-fi","title":"FUNKE, MAXINE - Home Fi","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"600\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mwSHvg_NNtQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\"Vinylization of the recent \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHome Fi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e cassette (originally released on the Australian Brierfirld Flood Press label) by this magnificent New Zealand singer\/songwriter.

His musical activities that lead him all around the globe for performances (amongst others, at Carnegie Hall) branch into two different areas: on the one side Alizadeh is a highly-reputed virtuoso on his traditional instrument, on the other he likes to approach music from a more experimental\/technological aspect in his electronic\/electro-acoustic pieces. This not being enough, he founded Noise Works in 2014, a platform and label for organizing experimental concerts and for the transfer of knowledge of music technologies among young Iranian musicians which makes him a central figure at the forefront of the current, very vivid Persian music scene that gained a lot of attention through artists like Siavash Amini, Porya Hatami, and of course Sotewho included a track by Alizadeh on the compilation \u003ci\u003eGirih: Iranian Sound Artists\u003c\/i\u003e (2018) that he had curated.

The story of the band is as strange and difficult as the music they made and although much of the tale is shrouded in mystery, everything apparently begins around Kyoto's radical anti-establishment communes of the late 1960s, where androgynous frontman Takashi Mizutani formed the group in November 1967 while attending Kyoto University. Hard facts are in thin supply and the band's name employs complex punning that essentially equates to \"Fucked Up and Naked\" in Japanese, a slang reference to being high on drugs. Inspired by the Velvet Underground and other groups employing prominent, overamplified guitar, the band's music was typically based on repetitive rhythmic patterns bolstered by Mizutani's heavily distorted lead guitar, though the poor sound quality of early demos apparently turned Mizutani away from studio recordings, rendering much of their output in the form of live bootlegs, supplanted by the occasional leaked studio demo. Early performances were given as accompaniment to avant-garde theater groups, though the group was soon deemed too loud to be a mere accompaniment, and membership fluctuated frequently, with Mizutani being the only constant, though he retreated from public view following the 1970 Red Army hijacking of Japan Airlines flight 351, with the assistance of original Rallizes bass player, Moriaki Wakabayashi, who subsequently fled to North Korea; the band continued to sporadically record and perform under various guises until 1997. The two versions of \u003ci\u003eThere's No Heaven Like Hell\u003c\/i\u003e, presented here, was recorded on April 1, 1975 at Rallizes House in Fussa, a small town to the west of Tokyo, joining Mizutani with keyboardist\/guitarist Taisuke Morishita's experimental group Be, originally known as Yellow. The first version takes the form of an epic slow drone, featuring Mizutani on acid guitar, backed only by Morishita's pulsating synthesizer lines; the second version is in full marathon mode, an hour-long dirge that sees the spacey duo joined by drummer Shunichiro Shoda and a plodding bassist in the latter portion.\" - Alternative Fox\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/foY9Z_KELdE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alternative Fox","offers":[{"title":"Double LP","offer_id":14986104275007,"sku":"","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/FOX003LP_CU.jpg?v=1571718606"},{"product_id":"sanders-pharoah-live-at-antibes-jazz-festival-in-juan-les-pins-july-21-1968","title":"SANDERS, PHAROAH - Live at Antibes Jazz Festival in Juan-les-Pins July 21, 1968","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"description\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jErpAj9RX-g\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eRestocked \"Pharoah Sanders, live at the Antibes Jazz Festival in Juan-les-Pins on July 21, 1968. Experimental jazz titan Pharoah Sanders made a lasting impact with his unorthodox approach to tenor saxophone. Born Farrell Sanders in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1940, he was given the nickname Pharoah by grandmother, in reference to the potential regal lineage of his African heritage. Playing clarinet at church services during his youth, he began playing tenor sax at high school. In 1959 he moved to Oakland, California, where he played with rhythm and blues bands and befriended John Coltrane. Moving to New York in 1961, he drifted into Sun Ra's Arkestra after experiencing a difficult period of homelessness. His status began to rise upon joining Coltrane's band in 1965, where his discordant solos formed a strong contrast to Trane's more melodious sound, though each player had a strong impact on the other's subsequent work. Following Coltrane's untimely death in 1967, Sanders formed a quartet of his own with former Jazz Messengers pianist Lonnie Liston Smith, bassist Norman \"Sirone\" Jones of the Untraditional Jazz Improvisational Team, and drummer Majeed Shabazz. For this blistering performance, given at the Antibes Jazz Festival of 1968 and broadcast on French radio station WDR3, the quartet moves through various Sanders free-jazz workouts, taking in \"Venus\" from the \u003ci\u003eTauhid\u003c\/i\u003e album (1967) and \"The Creator Has A Master Plan\" from \u003ci\u003eKarma\u003c\/i\u003e (1969) along the way, with the rhythm section holding down the fort as Sanders blows himself into the stratosphere.\" - Alternative Fox.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alternative Fox","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":14986116071487,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/FOX004LP_CU.jpg?v=1571718606"},{"product_id":"guerrero-pablo-finis-africae-los-dioses-hablan-por-boca-de-los-vecinos","title":"GUERRERO, PABLO \u0026 FINIS AFRICAE - Los Dioses Hablan Por Boca De Los Vecinos","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"description\"\u003e\"I close my eyes, I open my memory, the pages go free: infinite images like a book of sand.\" - Pablo Guerrero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Creating collages of avant-garde ambience using instruments from the many corners of the earth, along with tape loops and samples, Finis Africae created a fourth world sound that was both exotic and mysterious.\" - Andy Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"First vinyl edition ever of this lost experimental Spanish essential album. A delicate work that absorbs specific aspects of different music -- minimalism, tribal sounds, new age, ambient, spoken word -- to create its particular universe. With an absolutely contemplative recording climate, the poems and their sound environments explore the deepest self of the poet and singer from Extremadura, Pablo Guerrero. The work combines memories of childhood through the valleys of his native village, Esparragosa de Lares, with the evolution of life to reach the contemplative state in adulthood. A score written in a collaboration with two old friends, Juan A. Arteche Gual and Juan C. Fdez Puerta (Finis Africae), who weave a beautiful tapestry of electronic sounds so that the deep and serious voice of the poet shells all the images that his ode encloses. The recording, through fourteen poems, breathes an aroma of maturity, balance and total freedom. Maturity and balance with minimal arrangements, small gestures surrounded by abundant silences. Total freedom with instruments of the most varied, without restrictions or complexes: samplers, synthesizers and field recordings mixed with rattles, self-arches of the Appalachian Mountains, zithers, saxes made with reeds, conches, shortwave radios, plastic pipes, Hindu harmoniums...beauty can arise from any element and all these minimal arrangements come together to create the perfect ambience that sublimates the poem. Completed in the spring of 1996, the recording was moving in no man's land until the end of 1999 saw the light in book format of poems, accompanied by a CD.

Telaio Magnetico was composed of Franco Battiato, Lino Capra Vaccina, Juri Camisasca, Mino Di Martino, Roberto Mazza, and Terra Di Benedetto. In the mid '70s, the Italian underground scene seemed to mature an existential priority of yearning toward a new psychological universe, with a firm idea to colonize an uncharted space of a necessary and infinite path of spiritual redemption. In this context, the short experience of Telaio Magnetico was born from the confluence of the Battiato's experimental efforts, in works such as \u003ci\u003eSulle Corde Di Aries\u003c\/i\u003e(1973), \u003ci\u003eClic\u003c\/i\u003e (1974), and \u003ci\u003eM.elle Le \"Gladiator\"\u003c\/i\u003e (1975), and the Albergo Intergalattico Spaziale's new esoteric electronics. A mosaic of metamorphic sounds and frequencies of unfamiliar constellations, the music of Telaio is an imaginary trimurti of \"energy-cosmos-mind\". Synths and Lowrey organs draw sidereal labyrinths and landscapes, scanned to infinity by a harmonic percussions arsenal. Whispering and radical improved vocals are lost as delusional fugues in centrifugal vortices and, at the same time, seem to offer a compendium of religious chants which evoke Tibetan choruses, Indian pujas or the Gregorian tradition. Reemerging sometimes as Sufi cadences and relaxations, or pastoral-tribal elements on which the chamber carpet of oboe blows like Arabs, Egyptians, or Moroccans pifferos. That traced is not only a galactic river, but also a Mediterranean circumnavigation: a unique creative moment that, in addition to the references with the German kosmische music and British space-rock, seems to be perfumed by the influence of Gurdjieffian mystic and even had roots in the minimalist drones of Terry Riley and La Monte Young, also drawing parallels to the contemporary research of authors such as Alvin Curran and the following explorations of Futuro Antico.\" - Black Sweat.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Black Sweat","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":15016150204479,"sku":"","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/R-14962748-1584798704-5693_jpeg.jpg?v=1603380257"},{"product_id":"hirose-yutaka-nova-4","title":"HIROSE, YUTAKA - NOVA + 4","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGatefold sleeve. Includes liner notes in English and Japanese. \"WRWTFWW Records present an expanded reissue of one of the most fascinating Japanese ambient\/environmental albums ever made, \u003ci\u003eNOVA\u003c\/i\u003e by Yutaka Hirose, originally released in 1986. The expanded reissue includes the album known as \u003ci\u003eSoundscape 2: Nova\u003c\/i\u003e, sourced from its original masters, as well as four never-released-before recordings over 50 minutes. Initially released in 1986 as part of the Soundscape series. Commissioned by Misawa Home Corporation for use in their prefabricated houses, Yutaka Hirose's \u003ci\u003eNOVA\u003c\/i\u003e has grown to become a mythical piece of the Japanese minimalist\/ambient\/environmental scene of the eighties. Initiated around the enchanting landscapes of the two first tracks recorded for the project, \"Nova\" and \"Epilogue\", Yutaka Hirose's magnum opus serenely blends vintage synth with nature sounds, exploring soothing palettes and organic backdrops. For \"Slow Sky\", Hirose explains he \"went for a pointillism-like sound, and tried to express a scenery of awakening, where the portal of a heart is opening up\", while on \"Humming The Sea\", he \"tried to compose a kind of music that expresses the daily, lazy life of child-like innocence in a summer vacation in some small town.\" The bonus material gathers four long unreleased pieces created around the same period of time for installations, described by Yutaka Hirose as \"not music per se but rather sound sculptures\", and including the haunting \"Shadow Of A Water Droplet\" which was recorded for an Ikebana exhibition. All in all, \u003ci\u003eNOVA + 4\u003c\/i\u003e is a transcendent experience of nature in the urban context, an oeuvre which, much like Midori Takada's \u003ci\u003eThrough The Looking Glass\u003c\/i\u003e (WRWTFWW 018LP\/WRWTFWW 019CD\/LP, 2017) or Satoshi Ashikawa's \u003ci\u003eStill Way\u003c\/i\u003e (1999), holds the power to appease the soul in turbulent times.

The Doubling Riders were born in the middle of the '80s from the ashes of A.T.R.O.X. and around the trio of Francesco Paladino, Pier Luigi Andreoni, and Riccardo Sinigaglia. Especially thanks to their collaboration with international artists such as Pascal Comelade, Ira Stein, and Vox Populi, The Doubling Riders stand out from the rest of other Italian bands of the time. Starting from an electronic music approach and working freely with ethno, folk and wave elements, the sound of the Doubling Riders was extremely original and quite hard to classify. Even if often compared to some of the more intellectual new wave bands like Tuxedomoon, Doubling Riders can be easily considered a unique project within the Italian new music scene.

Number and letter games bejewel the pages of this anthology (pulling pieces and writings from 1974 to 2019). These works are largely text scores. It wasn't until I saw Charlie perform 'Ten the Long Way' with a room full of participants that the performative power became clear to me. Chanting numbers: the meditative, transparent, and unifying joy that swept across the room was beautiful. Charlie, a born networker of people and ideas, has naturally included two close friends in the book. Jerome Rothenberg provides a poetic essay, 'A Gematria Sampler', along with a compelling article written by composer Tom Johnson. These supplements embolden the scope and richness of Morrow's transparent systems. - Sean McCann, June 2019. \"The range of Charlie Morrow's work if laid out end to end would show him clearly -- though never completely -- as a protean and transformational composer and performer. He is, from where I see him, both the leading proponent of an active ethnopoetics in avant-garde musical performance and a master of new technologies as they come into contemporary practice. It's this dynamic of old and new that a gathering like this again makes plain. The effect, all in all, is cumulative, the power in the ensemble, the full range of his explorations: shamanic-inspired dream chants, animal language events, performance pieces based on modern signal codes and ancient numerologies, soundscapes derived from the new wilderness of urban spaces and the old wilderness of arctic tundras, recompositions of familiar repertory works and of long neglected or forgotten chants and hymns, works for multiple massed single instruments (ocarinas, tubas, cellos, harps), international radio events in celebration of winter and summer solstices, and an extraordinary range of massive public spectacles. Now after fifty years of active engagement, the work, as serious and deeply rooted as it gets, is conceived and played out with a boundless energy and good humor -- in a style as distinctive as his familiar and ever present bowler hat.\" - Jerome Rothenberg, 2019. 130 pages; 6x9\" perfect bound.

Featuring Harry Miller, Johnny Dyani, Keith Tippett, Evan Parker, Nick Evans, Radu Malfatti, and Kenny Wheeler, this is former Blue Note artist Louis Moholo's first album under his own name and is a classic example of the cross-pollination between South African and British players.

From Matthew Wright's new liner notes: \"The South African melodies, now so familiar, were wholeheartedly taken on board by the individual musicians, their unity of purpose mirroring the belief in the strength of the collective. Stunning solos, often close to the edge, feature throughout -- Evan Parker and Keith Tippett on 'Shine Wherever You Are'; the contrasting trombone styles of Nick Evans and Radu Malfatti on 'You Ain't Gonna Know Me...'; the octet sounding like a full big band; and behind them, the relentlessly rhythmic urgency of the piano, bass and drums. Add to this Kenny Wheeler's moving and all-encompassing trumpet on the elegiac 'Amaxesha Osizi' and the joyous flamboyancy of 'Wedding Hymn' with Parker's relatively straight-ahead tenor and Tippett's dextrous piano solo over a bed of riffing horns, (fast) walking bass lines and a supreme sense of swing.

Juan Hidalgo (1927-2018) was born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands. He studied composition and piano in Spain and later in Paris and Geneva. He moved to Milano in 1956 where he has developed most of his musical career. He collaborated during his career with people like Marchetti, John Cage, or Bruno Maderna. Rrose Sélavy is a unique queer-sound-art piece that claims for revision of the role of the gender in the society through the musical language. Juan Hidalgo played a leading role in definitively abandoning the traditional avant-garde musical research -- the problem of music as sound -- to devote himself to the musical fact as a search for a language that is creative and critical at the same time. Beyond the abstract notion that the language can be a source of indoctrination, words and language play an important role in the social construction of gender. The musical language also marks and generates a very particular type of social body and listening. Precisely, a change in the syntactic form of sounds would trigger a new listening and a new understanding of the world of sound that surrounds us. Silence and noise are not only two opposite poles within music, but also at a social level. Rrose Sélavy begins with a celesta solo. A piece based on the relentless repetition of the first five notes of the scale of C major, but without predictable order, without syntactic logic between them, and without any series of tonal hierarchies between them. Since this hierarchy is missing, there is neither beginning nor end; the duet's piano, while remaining within that narrow range of pitch, expands the ground to other octaves. From the trio to the final sextet, the inclusion of new sonorities adds nuances and dimensions to what, at first, looked like simple children's music. This is a truly \"rare\" example in form and content in the arts scene, despite the stumbling block that has seemed to be for decades for the history and historiography of traditional style, determined to evaluate movements, concepts, and actions, is perceived nowadays, once again and as always, as a gradual, free and liberating flow.
