It is a wild-eyed classic from start to finish. Ostensibly a meeting between two guitarists lurking around the Boston area (although Rob has since moved to Japan), Joseph's mastery of other instruments (harmonium and banjo) affords the pair a wider range of sounds than some of their precedents. But they also eschew vocals here, so that kinda balances things out. At least in my book. The album's four tracks display brilliance and variety in spades. 'Feet of Clay and a Crown of Stars' is a two guitar conversation, with notes initially slurring and sliding against each other, then spreading out like waves of sound hitting a sandy beach. It's like something you might hear inside your head if John Fahey dunked you in one of the hot tubs at Big Sur. On 'Stutter Study' Allred uses his harmonium to soften the rhythmically tangled briar patch improvs by Noyes. 'A Valid Subspecies' pairs Noyes' guitar with Allred's provocatively original banjo inventions. Rob's playing on this one mixes ruminative downstrokes with aggressive single string highlighting in a style quite different from his trademark whirlwindery. Finally, on the title track, we are shown another intricate and deftly woven two guitar tapestry.

After 2019's Uzun Havalar (PING 065LP), the Turkish artist returns with an album that continues to explore a variety of deeply embedded musical traditions while also hurtling into new terrain. The music and influences -- as well as the history, culture, and geography behind them -- that make up Atila as an artist all coalesce to create something entirely new. The result is something that is simultaneously exploring history and tradition, while harnessing innovative modern sounds and techniques. \"If there is any tradition I am somehow connected to, or influenced by, then it's multi-genres,\" she says. \"Such as Turkish Pop and Arabesk music from this country where I grew up. There is a connection to folk and also French pop or Flamenco, Middle Eastern melodies and orchestration, Greek adaptations, Kenny G. solos, American guitars.\" This can be heard on Felicita, not in as much as you can link up the influences directly but in the way it glides across genres, eschewing convention and predictability along the way, to result in a kaleidoscopic experience. For the album, Atila found a talented roster of jazz musicians in Istanbul who she recorded on top of her synth productions and field recordings. Soon enough saxophone, drums, and strings began to stack up against preset drum loops from vintage organs. It's a record where woozy psychedelic excursions bleed into dreamy synth lines, immersive ambience, and the occasionally disconcerting yet incredibly tactile use of field recordings. Felicita translates as \"happiness\" and this album is something that explores the complexities of such an emotion. \"I did not name the album like this because I just wanted to call it happiness,\" Atila says. \"A song like 'Felicita Lale' is a sad and confused song about a female character who can't get out of bed. It's a funny rumination, in her thoughts, saying to get up and lie down repeatedly. At some point the lyrics say: 'hep agla, felicita', meaning: 'Cry all the time, Felicita'. Like she is talking to happiness itself and telling it to cry. So it is not about happiness, it is more about the concept of happiness which can be very sad.\" - Pingipung .","brand":"Pingipung","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":42708516798683,"sku":"","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/PING074LP_CU.jpg?v=1649947418"},{"product_id":"brotzmann-misha-mengelberg-han-bennink-peter-3-points-and-a-mountain-cien-fuegos-austria-lp","title":"BROTZMANN\/MISHA MENGELBERG\/HAN BENNINK, PETER - 3 Points And A Mountain","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Reissue, originally released on FMP in 1979.

On the darker side, Tracks' Lorry Doll growled and spit out the lyrics to \"Gang War Rumble,\" \"I Don't Need You\", and \"Love Is (Bondage and Leather)\". Co-founded with fellow art student\/guitarist Jeff Rey, Lorry and Tracks joined a handful of other bands at the infamous Rat igniting Boston's new music scene; just as Television, the Ramones, Talking Heads, and others were doing the same in New York. Some called it punk or new wave, but it really was the birth of an alternative form of original expression that not only influenced and inspired subsequent bands coming out of these two cities, but also impacted all music that was to follow. In 1976, Tracks recorded a live set at the Club in Cambridge and released \"Brakes on You\" as a single on Blue Door Records. Picked up by Bomp for international distribution, it garnered Tracks worldwide notoriety. By the end of 1978, bolstered by airplay for the single, Tracks were playing most of their gigs in New York at legendary punk venues like CBGB's and Max's Kansas City. Sharing the bill with renown acts like the Police and the Jam and every other \"hot new act\" that was coming through the east coast, Doll and Rey knew they would have to make the move to NYC sooner or later.

Performed on an amplified upright bass, the arco flow of her playing (with what I assume to be light electronic effects in certain passages) moves like a field of lava sheets overlapping as they move away from their source. The effect is a bit dizzying, since as a listener you feel attached to these sheets in one place or another, and they are constantly shifting.

I received an invitation to perform at the 40th anniversary gathering, June 2022. Previous works for the label, 'Arithmetic in the Dark' and 'Isoladrone2020' illuminated the landing strip for a new work. It should be continuous -- a further play on moving and remaining. I wanted to balance the digital output of a CSound orchestra with an analog instrument and chose the Turkish saz, a sound I've loved and lived with for the last six decades. I prepared the ground for the live performance with a graphical interface for CSound and an EBow for the saz (along with some short pre-recordings of picking and strumming). Then, a few days before the concert, I got Covid. On the suggestion of Jon and Mike I recorded a live performance-for-one, (myself at home) which was played back at Iklectik. Unedited, unchanged, here it is.\"\n\nThree pairs of thin, wire strings on the Turkish saz are struck, and the resulting sound is harmonized, filtered and then sustained in an infinite but gradually shifting chord of harmonics. In addition, an EBow is used to excite the strings in real time. This sound is natural, untreated, and adds layers to the sustained chord. Subsequently, two Csound programs running in parallel are \"fed\" the natural sound of the saz and the output is heavily affected with filters, resonators, vocoders etc. These sonic gestures are allowed to take over as the original chord fades to leave the more transparent sounds of the Csound outputs.

Originally recorded in September 1998 at legendary Ginza (Tokyo) studio Onkio Haus (founded in 1974 and where Ryuichi Sakamoto's \"Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence\" and many more were recorded) and released on CD only for the Japan market in 1999, Tree of Life is Midori Takada's best kept secret, a lost gem of minimalism and percussive ambient. The album is separated in two parts, the first one finds Takada exploring her trademark environmental soundscapes with precise mastery of marimba, drums, and bells, notably on the magnificent fan-favorite \"Love Song Of Urfa\". The second half is a collaboration with Chinese virtuoso Erhu player Jiang Jian Hua, allowing Midori Takada to unveil new layers of her artistic mind with a slightly more theatrical approach and a beautiful crystallization of complex simplicity. The entire album was given a fresh new audiophile mix by Midori Takada herself and was mastered at Emil Berliner Studios. This Tree of Life reissue follows two newly recorded Midori Takada albums, Cutting Branches For A Temporary Shelter (WRWTFWW 060CD\/LP) and You Who Are Leaving To Nirvana (WRWTFWW 061CD\/LP), both available on WRWTFWW Records, along with her 1983 masterpiece, Through The Looking Glass (WRWTFWW 018LP).

Contrary to legend, even back then, it was often those with a musical background who were the most successful. One such example, Henrich 'Wüste' Zwahlen, who had learned the violin, attended a jazz school and went into prog-rock before joining the Nasal Boys, one of the first punk bands in Zürich. The scene included the female band Kleenex, whose minimalism was praised by the London music press, while the world's most important rock theorist, Greil Marcus, wrote an ode highlighting Zürich's role as the birthplace of Dadaism. A fertile ground for the militant youth movement that exploded in 1980 and stirred up the city of banks, Protestantism, and boredom with raw wit and expressive violence . . . In Zürich's underground, the duo Aboriginal Voices caused a stir at that time. A couple, good-looking, styled, looking cool into the cold neon light, with a danceable beat and sequenced electro sounds, to which Micheline gave a very unique touch when she sang in French and English. Micheline had a classical piano education, had left home early, worked as a lighting technician in a strip joint and at Booster, the hottest boutique in town. Voilà: a musician who was as stylish as she was tough. She was already playing with Wüste in the band Doobie Doos, a band where everyone played an instrument they didn't master. In 1980 the Aboriginal Voices were formed, initially with vocalist Magda Vogel (of later UnknownmiX fame), who was trained as a classical singer. Frustrated by organizational friction and constant hassles with band lineups, Wüste and Misch decided to do everything as a twosome: self-mixed, self-styled, self-produced. With the top-of-the-line Linn drum machine clocking the beat, Wüste's guitar and Micheline on the Yamaha synthesizer created a unique sound of danceable electronic music . . . They had an interface built for the legendary Roland MC-4B, who sequenced the modular Roland System 100M but where one output controlled a light show synchronized with the sound. A pioneering act that fit well into the DIY spirit of punk, with its self-distributed tapes and fuck-you attitude towards the cretins of the music industry. Consequently, only two cassettes and an EP were released. There was something futuristic about the sound, the vestiary style and the electronics, while the attitude remained rebellious. Of course something so deep in the Zeitgeist wasn't meant to last. Wüste moved to New York, Micheline stayed in Zurich, both still active in the music scene to this day...\" --Thomas Haemmerli\" - Billbrook Records .","brand":"Billbrook","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":43517792190683,"sku":"","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/BILLBROOK002LP_CU_babe4aec-cb52-46ba-a19c-9d8bf52399db.jpg?v=1669736178"},{"product_id":"sakini-lucy-van-laila-figures-boomkat-editions-uk-lp","title":"SAKINI \u0026 LUCY VAN, LAILA - Figures","description":"\"Laila Sakini and Lucy Van's highly sought after 2017 EP Figures resurfaces on a newly expanded and remastered edition, deploying taut poetry and precise production for an alchemical suite of slowly encroaching trip hop x dub-pop pulses -- highly recommended if you're into CS + Kreme, Laurie Anderson, Leslie Winer, YL Hooi, Bullion, Jonnine, Kallista Kult. Long before releasing her slow-burn classic Vivienne and 2021's compelling Princess Diana of Wales album (ACOLOUR 038LP), Laila Sakini was at work with acclaimed poet Lucy Van for an impromptu session for a local noise and spoken word night in Naarm, Australia. Those initial ideas marinated and eventually resulted in Figures -- an EP that offsets Sakini's minimal production against Van's text, spoken in a carefully enunciated dialect lifted and wrapped around Sakini's nocturnes. It's the sort of thing that is reminiscent of Tin Man \u0026amp; Rashad Becker's Wasteland sessions, fused with the spirit of the contemporary Naarm\/Melbourne scene. For all those references, Sakini and Van's songs are displaced from the contemporary wellspring too. The dusky blue waltz of opener \"Those Who See\" comes off like a lighter Leslie Winer or melodic, early AFX, as Van dryly intones \"...all my enemies in an orgy, of IQ to body ratio,\" while \"Deep End\" sees them nudge into more claustrophobic introspection, before shoring up a dank sort of trip hop sleaze with the title song, slithering with a similar energy to early '90s Autechre as the narration echoes into a blur. The three previously unreleased songs flesh out the release into the full album it always should have been, cut of equally rare, hand-spun fabric. With its post-Sleng Teng B-line and noctilucent chords, \"What You Need\" feels like an Eski rhythmic bump accompanied by sub-aquatic synth bass, and the opalescent, gumtree-shaking shimmer \"Rough Desires\" secretes its intimations with an absorbingly hypnagogic slow-burn that pools into the perfect curtain closer; \"Trees Make Me High\".

Invoking hope, in hopeless times, is perhaps the central aim of this album -- which has links and references to similarly spirited exercises: the aspirations of Veronica\/Veronique to fatefully discover herself through song in Kieslowski's The Double Life of Veronique, a high school band readying their first performance, a theater production cutting stars and props to decorate their small but important production. Endeavors, fraught with risk of failure and which are quintessentially naive, are attempted with whatever material is within reach. In Paloma, piano and recorder form the core instruments, with a reluctant vocal, a borrowed violin, some glockenspiel, a timbale. Sakini sings of reflections, shadows, optical illusions, tricks of light, tricks of the mind, secret meanings, magic and mysteries.

The album follows Beyond The Yellow Haze (2021), which was re-released last year via Ostgut Ton sublabel A-TON. While Beyond The Yellow Haze took a more macro sonic overview of various areas in Lagos, 6°30ʹ33.372ʺN 3°22ʹ0.66ʺE turns its hyper-specific geographical focus toward the sounds and voices within the city's Ojuelegba bus station and its environs. It's a sonic \"zooming-in\" to the anarchic, self-organized urban node at a critical transformational juncture, previously immortalized on Fela Kuti's legendary track and critique of post-colonial Lagos, Confusion. Ojuelegba was also the previous location of a sacred historical shrine created for Eshu, the Yoruba god of dance and confusion (amongst other things), and located at the area's main intersection. This junction is the starting point for Lagos's numerous yellow VW Danfo buses, whose drivers and conductors, recorded by Ogboh, provide a kind of verbal mapping of the neighborhood on the album; spoken descriptions of bus routes, food, spiritual geography, history, and prostitution. On 6°30ʹ33.372ʺN 3°22ʹ0.66ʺE, Ogboh converts these field recordings and voices into a musical ode to Ojuelegba. Over eight tracks, Nigerian Pidgin, a form of Creole, takes center stage, guiding the listener from informal interviews on the origins of the name and descriptions of Ojuelegba via massive, cavernous drums, synth and bass of album centerpieces \"Wọle\" (enter in Yoruba) and \"Ayilara\" (the red light district). Elsewhere, the kick-less Afro-electronics of \"Verbal Drift\" unfolds amid overlapping conversations and a bus conductor's verbal spin on the neighborhood, while the ambient Lagos techno of \"No Counterfeit\" (one driver's declaration of Ojuelegba's matchlessness) and heady, hyper-detailed dub of \"We Die Hia\" (an avowal to never abandon Ojuelegba) serve as meditations on the area's 24-hour accessibility. \"Oju 2.0\", the album's penultimate and longest track, is a blurry ambient orchestra of multiple neighborhood field recordings combined into a single, sonic landscape -- each street scene decaying, reverberating and resounding at a different speed. As a sonic metaphor for order amid chaos, this sentiment echoes in the record's final interviews on finding a future -- Eshu willing -- within the anarchy of a neighborhood that never sleeps.\" - Danfotronics.","brand":"Danfotronics","offers":[{"title":"Double LP","offer_id":43672701567195,"sku":"","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/DNFTRNX001LP_CU.jpg?v=1668607718"},{"product_id":"grong-grong-to-hell-n-back-memorandum-australia-cd-dvd","title":"GRONG GRONG - To Hell N' Back","description":"\"Hailing from Adelaide, proto-grunge outfit Grong Grong bludgeoned Australian audiences throughout 1983-1984, with their dark and aggressive take on punk rock.

They were managed by Warren Tepper, son of famous songwriter Sid Tepper (\"Red Roses For A Blue Lady\", \"Blue Hawaii\", \"G.I. Blues\"). Warren was walking his dog along the beach and heard us recording demos from a beach house, so he walked in introducing himself and asking if we had a demo he could play to his father: we did, and the next day he became the band's manager. I started out playing bass and sang lead vocals. Shortly after, guitarist Randy Rush asked me if I would drop the bass and become the frontman, while informing me of two soon to be Front members. The lineup was me on lead vocals and synth, Randy on lead guitar, Steve Myers on bass and vocals, Flynn Picardal on guitars, synth and vocals and Larry K Hill on drums and vocals. Upon meeting the guys, some rules were laid down by Steve: cut off the fat you don't need; no drum solos; no extravagant soloing. We also made a promise: never will this band play a cover tune. We never did. As a result, we developed our own unique sound. To the Miamians we were weird, but also tight and catchy: people soon remembered our songs' hooks. We all wrote and the band was very prolific. In 1981 we did our first 7\" EP The Front First Strike at Sync Studios on our DIY label FOAM Records. The B side 'Immigration Report' hit #1 on WVUM and went on to heavy rotation on college radios across the US. The band played everywhere there was a stage, eventually becoming the opening act for bands such as U2, Psychedelic Furs, The Go-Go's, Ultravox, Bow Wow Wow, and many others. In 1982 we released our second single \"Aluminum Room\", which garnered the band a Billboard Single Pick. Many major labels were courting us... Nevertheless, by that time the band members were fragmenting personally and artistically: on 7\/25\/1983 we played our last gig at a club called The Blitz in Hialeah, FL with a surprise appearance by Joey Ramone. A few years back, The New Times listed The Front at #5 of the \"Greatest 20 Florida Punk Bands Of All Time\" list.

The intimate and idiosyncratic sound calls to mind the off-kilter beauty of Charles Mingus’s piano record and Carman Moore’s score (also on Reading Group) for Personal Problems (1980), the brilliant “black soap opera” that Reed co-developed with Steve Cannon and Bill Gunn. Opening with a minimalist meditation on Jean-Michel Basquiat (also the subject of the play), and moving through blues tunes, descriptive pieces, and tributes to poet Lucille Clifton and Reed’s partner Carla Blank, the record closes with a moving ode to Reed’s late daughter Timothy.

Two parallel albums sharing the same title. One by Pierre-Yves Macé, the other by Sylvain Chauveau -- two friends and regular collaborators for nearly twenty years. Both works come from the same original material: a few tracks of guitar, piano, harmonium, and vocals, initially recorded by Chauveau. The lyrics (in French, English, Japanese) are very short poems by or quotations from e.e. cummings, Thelonious Monk, John Cage, Basho, cult tennis player John McEnroe, Carla Demierre, Aram Saroyan, Joseph Guglielmi, and painter Philip Guston. From this common material, each of the two composers has built his own edifice, choosing the elements he keeps, the ones he abandons, adding little by little his own instruments, structures and ideas. In the end, two distinct and autonomous opuses are born. Double-CD; digipack inside a slipcase.\n\n\"Version Iridium\": Pierre-Yves Macé has allowed himself to be guided by his long-standing obsessions: hybridization of genres and formats, balance between lyricism and formalism, intersection of chamber instrumental writing and chiseled electronics. But this time he pushes his penchant for sobriety further than ever. Whether it is a song-haiku, a miniature for piano or a long repetitive and rhythmic piece, the simplicity is at the service of the clarity of the ideas and the beauty of the timbres -- Maitane Sebastiàn's cello or Cédric Jullion's bass flute in mind.\n\n\"Version Silicium\": Sylvain Chauveau has surrounded himself with his friends Peter Broderick (backing vocals), Machinefabriek (electronic processing), Lucille Calmel (field recordings), Romke Kleefstra (electric guitar), and Rainier Lericolais (electronic sounds) in order to develop more than ever his love of repetition and the ultra-short format. Here, the pieces often last only the time of a breath, of a few heartbeats. A musical form rarely explored in any musical genre, but one that Chauveau has been fond of since his early days and whose quintessence he seeks here.\" - Sub Rosa .","brand":"Sub Rosa","offers":[{"title":"Double CD","offer_id":43740274032859,"sku":"","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/SR488CD_CU.jpg?v=1669736065"},{"product_id":"time-is-away-ballads-a-colourful-storm-australia-2lp","title":"TIME IS AWAY - Ballads","description":"\"Over the better half of a decade, Time is Away, the London-based duo of Jack Rollo and Elaine Tierney, have made tender and heartfelt transmissions through countless mixes, sound works, and radio. Exploring deeply human themes of memory, persistence, and resistance using an assemblage of source material, the duo's unique mode of storytelling culminates in Ballads, a new suite of songs and, significantly, their first officially licensed compilation. From the opening notes of Horvitz Morris Previte Trio's jazz romanticism to Gilles Chabenat and Frédéric Paris's lively reimagined standard, the haunting vocal seance of Tanto Pressanto and the mesmerizing swirls of The Unthanks, Yuko Kono, and Rachel Bonch-Bruevich, the spirit of Ballads roams through generations of affectionate songwriting and conjures images both candid and surreal.

Hazy dream chronicles. \"A Martin Rev album is always liable to spring a surprise. Think of the rough guitars which unexpectedly appeared on his 2003 release To Live (BB 417CD\/LP) instead of synthesizers. Les Nymphes, which followed in 2008, saw Rev return to dream-laden melodic miniatures, but came from a resolutely more radical place than its predecessors. A minimalist thread runs through Martin Rev's oeuvre, and yet there is an opulence, something approaching exuberance, to the pieces on Les Nymphes. The first few seconds of the opening track 'Sophie Eagle' herald a towering sonic wave, a cascade of echoes and rhythm loops, with fragments of melody and Rev's sporadic utterances rising like whitecaps above splashing phase shifts. References to contemporary club music, in evidence on To Live, resurface here, along with the disconcerting guitar samples which dominated the previous album. The other tracks on Les Nymphes share a subcooled, dreamlike, slow rave sensibility amidst a post-industrial atmosphere which is reminiscent of Coil in the scope of its three-dimensional soundscape. Rev elaborates: \"The similarities of Les Nymphes to house and dance were evident for sure, although I didn't start off searching for them in particular. It was probably the first work I brought to completion from start to finish on computer, and a lot of the tracks were digitally derived from interactive programs rather than outboard gear. The atmosphere and sound were inspired by a lot of reading I had been doing in Greek mythology and also investigating the same stories in different languages. Probably my spending a lot of time living in Montreal for several years was a strong influence in that it's a French speaking environment and all the book stores had a great array of classical literature in French and other languages.\" The inspiration of cultural mythologies is what makes Les Nymphes so irresistible, its hazy realities assembled in a dream chronology. What would an ethereal house or techno album sound under Rev's guidance? Once again, this work demonstrates the rigor of Martin Rev's approach, his willingness to embrace risk and his uncompromising rejection of a single aesthetic framework. Les Nymphes is, without question, the work of an artist who is constantly in search mode.\" --Daniel Jahn, February 2022\" - Bureau B .","brand":"Bureau B","offers":[{"title":"Double LP","offer_id":43740274098395,"sku":"","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/BB418LP_CU.jpg?v=1669736069"},{"product_id":"dockstader-tod-aerial-ii-important-records-2lp","title":"DOCKSTADER, TOD - Aerial II","description":"\"Tod Dockstader's Aerial series, an electronic\/drone masterpiece, is cherished among fans of the artist's work and this second volume is available in an audiophile quality double LP. Tod Dockstader's Aerial series is sourced from his life-long passion for shortwave radio. Dockstader collected over 90 hours of recordings, made at night, and comprised of cross signals and fragments plucked from the atmosphere. Opening with airwave drones, Dockstader gradually allows elements to slowly come and go, summoning an ominous atmosphere of ethereal cloud clouds. Malignant placidity continues, giving the feeling of eavesdropping upon late-night audio activity not unlike discovering number stations while sweeping the dials. These sounds pull you in as their density and rhythms come and go. Backward voices, deep echoing choruses of conversations flowing under the surface, ocean sounds, pulsing electro-rhythms, all seem to be created via the collaging of many hours of source recordings. A masterwork of collage and juxtaposition by an overlooked pioneer of American electronic music. Artwork by John Brien (Imprec) is inspired by the propagation of shortwave radio signals throughout the earth's atmosphere. Edition of 500.\n\nTod Dockstader on the Aerial project (September 14, 2003): \"... When I was very young, people got most of their entertainment from radio. They called it 'playing the radio,' as if it were a musical instrument. That's what I've tried to do in this piece. About this time, a few people encouraged me to look into using a computer for this work. I'd never used one, but I saw it would allow me to keep my mixes digital -- no more transfer losses. So, at the end of 2001, I got a computer and an editing program for it, and spent what seemed a long time learning it. I began selecting mixes and loading them into the computer in late March, 2002. Out of the 580, I selected 90 'best' mixes -- eventually reduced to 59, the ones on the CDs. Finally, in assembling the CDs, I followed David Myers' suggestion to allow each piece to flow into the next - making a continuous journey to the end.\"\n\n\"This return of Dockstader is something to cherish, not just because his output has been so limited and scarce but because what we do have is so intriguing, persuasive and cliche-free; the music of an inspired explorer who trails in nobody's slipstream.\" --The Wire\" - Important Records.","brand":"Important","offers":[{"title":"Double LP","offer_id":43740274229467,"sku":"","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/IMPREC494LP_CU.jpg?v=1669736072"},{"product_id":"parker-jeff-mondays-at-the-enfield-tennis-academy-eremite-2lp","title":"PARKER, JEFF - Mondays at The Enfield Tennis Academy","description":"\"\"Mondays at The Enfield Tennis Academy, x2 LPs of long-form, lyrical, groove-based free improv by acclaimed guitarist \u0026amp; composer Jeff Parker's ETA IVtet, is at last here. Recorded live at ETA (referencing David Foster Wallace), a bar in LA's Highland Park neighborhood with just enough space in the back for Parker, drummer Jay Bellerose, bassist Anna Butterss, \u0026amp; alto saxophonist Josh Johnson to convene in extraordinarily depthful \u0026amp; exploratory music making. Gleaned for the stoniest side-length cuts from 10+ hours of vivid two-track recordings made between 2019 \u0026amp; 2021 by Bryce Gonzales, Mondays at The Enfield Tennis Academy is a darkly glowing séance of an album, brimming over with the hypnotic, the melodic, \u0026amp; patience \u0026amp; grace in its own beautiful strangeness. Room-tone, electric fields, environment, ceiling echo, live recording, Mondays, Los Angeles. Jeff Parker's first double album \u0026amp; first live album, Mondays at The Enfield Tennis Academy belongs in the lineage of such canonical live double albums recorded on the West Coast as Lee Morgan's Live at the Lighthouse, Miles Davis' In Person Friday \u0026amp; Saturday Night at the Blackhawk, San Francisco \u0026amp; Black Beauty, \u0026amp; John Coltrane's Live in Seattle. While the IVtet sometimes plays standards \u0026amp;, including on this recording, original compositions, it is as previously stated largely a free improv group -- just not in the genre meaning of the term. The music is more free composition than free improvisation, more blending than discordant. It's tensile, yet spacious \u0026amp; relaxed. Clearly all four musicians have spent significant time in the planetary system known as jazz, but relationships to other musics, across many scenes \u0026amp; eras -- dub \u0026amp; Dilla, primary source psychedelia, ambient \u0026amp; drone -- suffuse the proceedings. Listening to playbacks Parker remarked, humorously \u0026amp; not, 'we sound like the Byrds' (to certain ears, the Clarence White-era Byrds, who really stretched it). A fundamental of all great ensembles, whether basketball teams or bands, is the ability of each member to move fluidly \u0026amp; fluently in \u0026amp; out of lead \u0026amp; supportive roles. Building on the communicative pathways they've established in Parker's -- The New Breed -- project, Parker \u0026amp; Johnson maintain a constant dialogue of lead \u0026amp; support. Their sampled \u0026amp; looped phrases move continuously thru the music, layered \u0026amp; alive, adding depth \u0026amp; texture \u0026amp; pattern, evoking birds in formation, sea creatures drifting below the photic zone. Or, the two musicians simulate those processes by entwining their terse, clear-lined playing in real-time. The stop\/start flow of Bellerose, too, simulates the sampler, recalling drum parts in Parker's beat-driven projects. Mostly Bellerose's animated phraseologies deliver the inimitable instantaneous feel of live creative drumming. The range of tonal colors he conjures from his extremely vintage battery of drums \u0026amp; shakers -- as distinctive a sonic signature as we have in contemporary acoustic drumming -- bring almost folkloric qualities to the aesthetic currency of the IVtet's language. A wonderful revelation in this band is the playing of Anna Butterss. The strength, judiciousness \u0026amp; humility with which she navigates the bass position both ground \u0026amp; lift upward the egalitarian group sound. As the IVtet's grooves flow \u0026amp; clip, loop \u0026amp; repeat, the ensemble elements reconfigure, a terrarium of musical cultivation growing under controlled variables, a tight experiment of harmony \u0026amp; intuition, deep focus \u0026amp; freedom. For all its varied sonic personality, Mondays at The Enfield Tennis Academy scans immediately \u0026amp; unmistakably as music coming from Jeff Parker's unique sound world. Generous in spirit, trenchant \u0026amp; disciplined in execution, Parker's music has an earned respect for itself \u0026amp; for its place in history that transmutes through the musical event into the listener. Many moods \u0026amp; shapes of heart \u0026amp; mind will find utility \u0026amp; hope in a music that combines the autonomy \u0026amp; the community we collectively long to see take hold in our world, in substance \u0026amp; in staying power. On the personal tip, this was always my favorite gig to hit, a lifeline of the eremite records Santa Barbara years. Mondays southbound on the 101, driving away from tasks \u0026amp; screens \u0026amp; illness, an hour later ordering a double tequila neat at the bar with the band three feet away, knowing i was in good hands, knowing it would be back around on another Monday. To encounter life at scales beyond the human body is the collective dance of music \u0026amp; the beholding of its beauty, together.\" --Michael Ehlers \u0026amp; Zac Brenner Pressed on premium audiophile-quality 120 gram vinyl at RTI from Kevin Gray\/Cohearent Audio lacquers.

With their sixth studio album, Oiseaux-Tempête unveils a new facet of its mythology through a dense work that carries darkness towards the light of day, that rumbles, calms down and warms up again. Like the silhouette of a lighthouse that reveals itself as its torch rises and shines, the powerful beauty of What On Earth (Que Diable) radiates into an expanding musical cosmos. From the mammoth riffs of \"Partout Le Feu\", progressively thickened by explosive sound textures and sirens ringing the alarm, you levitate on \"Terminal Velocity\", a minimalist interlude with a crepuscular feel that is jostled by the hypnotic pulsations of \"Voodoo Spinning\" and then the call of the dungeon \"The Crying Eye - I Forget\", an electro mystical trance that deploys its philters in a troubled moat haunted by the psalmodies of Radwan Ghazi Moumneh. The tempo speeds up in \"A Man Alone in a One Man Poem\", a meeting of body and mind, of mechanical energy and burning breath where the spoken word of G.W.Sok sneaks in, before the pastoral crossing of \"Waldgänger\" and its forest of electronic chimeras.\n\n\"... At the center of this project, which blurs lines and genres, the duo turned trio of multi-instrumentalists Frédéric D. Oberland, Stéphane Pigneul, and Mondkopf have been building dialogues between their own reality, their vocabulary, and those of fellow travelers met all around the surface of the world. From their Mediterranean trilogy to their foray into Canada with the explosive From Somewhere Invisible, deeply instinctive albums shrouded in mystery take shape, in parallel with feverish and incendiary live performances, punk in their urgency to tell the world by blasting the boundaries of space and time. After having signed the soundtrack of the bewitching Tunisian film Tlamess (Sortilège) by Ala Eddine Slim in 2020, Oiseaux-Tempête immerses us with What On Earth (Que Diable) in a collapsed future. A psychedelic\/psychological roadmap, the album gathers around Frédéric D. Oberland, Stéphane Pigneul, Mondkopf and Jean-Michel Pirès (Bruit Noir), the voices of Ben Shemie (SUUNS), G.W.Sok, Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Jerusalem In My Heart) or the electric strings of Jessica Moss (Thee Silver Mt.

If the planetary reality of 2022 looks like a bad spin-off of a pre\/post-apocalyptic series, this new record invites us to another kind of anticipative present where the only weapons are poems chanted against the wind.

Founded in Cairo circa 2015 by Alan Bishop (ex-Sun City Girls) with Sam Shalabi (Land Of Kush, Karkhana) and Maurice Louca (Karkhana) the trio developed an unique always recognizable sound, but with many faces to show. Two very different ones are shown on their contribution to Unrock's \"Il Burro Sabe Mas Que Tu\" singles series. \"Speaking In Tongues\" sounds like a nightmare coming straight out of hell, conducted by Bishop's unique voice, while \"Organism 46-B\" shows them in a classical softer mode, touching nearly classical free jazz issues.

The music is as brilliant as it always is when these two stars collide. Marcia's control of feedback drones is exquisite and pairs perfectly with Samara's long-tone string work. The three pieces here are uniformly awesome assemblages of harmonic frequencies and textures that flow into each other as though they were poured from a single head. The two shorter pieces on the a-side slide through each others' tone holes like electric eels playing basketball with hoop snakes. It can be hard to differentiate sources for the individual voicing, but the results resonate with glowing purity of purpose, and a sort of feverish dream logic that ebbs and flows like blood. The longer piece on the B-side is a full-on carousel ride through a landscape shifting constantly beneath your feet. It's like riding the break of a slow-motion earthquake, where the land itself forms curls you can shoot through if you have the balance to hang on. It's great stuff to hear if you happen to live inside the west coast's 'Ring of Fire,' but it's also mighty fine listening heard from the safety of the Pioneer Valley. Or wherever you happen to reside.

There was an earlier cassette issued under the Cunningham\/Volt\/Serra banner, which is probably a more elucidating name, but brevity being the soul of wit (and all that), it's surely more modern a choice to go with the acronym they occasionally employ. Acronyms, after all, suggest a kind of sleekness. And the music created by CVS is as sleek as a goddamn otter. The line-up is unusual. Our great friend, Mark Cunningham (of Mars, Blood Quartet, etc.), plays trumpet. Trumpet is also the chosen 'axe' of fellow Barcelonan underground musician, Pablo Volt. The third member, Andreu Serra (who also works and records widely under various soubriquets), focuses here on guitar and sax. I'm having a tough time naming another unit with this line-up, and indeed, CVS doesn't sound quite like any other band I can easily conjure. Both trumpeters work in a hybridized cool\/avant tradition. Their lines certainly go 'out' at times, but there's none of the smear\/fracture of Don Cherry, who is the main model for so many trumpeters. If you need to point fingers, Mark and Pablo's styles might be said to share a resonance with the later work of Bill Dixon, although both of them favor warmer tones. Andreu's approach to both sax and guitar is equally off-center, with outwardly-focused splange of strange but genteel nature.  But this is not a 'jazz' album by any means. Cunningham (and his collusionists) have employed jazzoid moves as component parts of an avant\/jazz\/rock hybrid since the days of Don King (and maybe before.) The avant electronic passages and rockoid forward motion are huge parts of this music's character. Ad Hoc is just another step on a path with a long, storied history and a luminous, infinite future.\" --Byron Coley, 2022\" - Feeding Tube Records.","brand":"Feeding Tube","offers":[{"title":"Cass","offer_id":43740274753755,"sku":"","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/FTR392CS_CU.jpg?v=1669736088"},{"product_id":"karlsson-niko-its-own-phantom-feeding-tube-records-cassette","title":"KARLSSON, NIKO - Its Own Phantom","description":"\"\"Five years after the magnificent Valosta Valoon LP (FTR 331LP, 2017), Finnish multi-instrumentalist, Niko Karlsson is back with a new swab of sound that is even more organic than its predecessor. This time out the focus is more on acoustic strings and percussion, with a minimum of machine-driven sounds, even when things get cinematically tense (especially on the B-side). But the bulk of Niko's new tape (which he had first suggested be released sans any artist info) is a mesmeric assemblage of small gestures that feel something like a meditation exercise taking place in the great outdoors. Acoustic strings swirl around your head like a flock of soft ravens, then expand spectral fingers to search your spine for arcane gifts. Gongs ignite barely visible fires in the distance. And you start to quiver until the earth shakes. That said, there are certainly a few more ominous passages where the sound gathers up more like storm clouds than sunshine, but the shade these portions cast are ultimately transitory. The music on Its Own Phantom has a charmed ruralist glow that is sure to delight wanderers of many stripes. So pick a fork. Any fork.

All sounds stem exclusively from the intrinsic properties of machines designed to replicate spatial acoustics. These range from early mechanical means such as springs and plates to increasingly complex algorithms aimed at convincingly approximating the rich acoustic responses of real world environments. The devices' idiosyncrasies enable the creation of spaces that fall short of naturalistic expectations. Yet new possibilities of exploring physically impossible alternative realities emerge. Recorded music has a rich history of much beloved and highly unreal spatial designs -- from the slap-back sounds of rock n' roll and the echoes of dub to gated snare reverbs and the nonlinear reflection bursts of 1980s drum machine fame. Despite the expected obsolescence of most historic efforts in the age of convolution reverb technology, many odd spatialization techniques persist and are now the subject of contemporary emulation. In Call and Response, the capacity of artificial reverb to go far beyond what the reflections of physical surfaces can elicit is often amplified to gargantuan proportions, only to be folded back into what appears to be the most minuscule of entrapments. Hissing tunnels and threatening wells vibrate left and right. A succession of \"frozen\" reverbs solidifies what otherwise would be fleeting reflections. Rapid shifts create artifacts that tear the fabric of space, only to reveal the underlying mechanics of its simulation. Occasional feedback, a reverb's output looped back into a unit's input, produces eerie harmonic textures inherent in algorithmic response curves (analogous to resonance frequencies determined by a room's geometric shape). The continuously dynamic handling of parameters such as size, density and shape allows for the exploration of impossible architecture along impossible trajectories. An aural choreography, plotted along permanently receding walls, liquid ceilings and crumbling floors. This is Goldmann's first album for Ash International.
