Price:	$23.00
Catalog #:	LUMB 008CD

"This double CD set catches legendary German experimental rock outfit Faust's debut concert in Poland, from Krakow's Loch Ness Club, on the 15th November 2006. Spread over both discs, we are afforded a perfect opportunity to hear a blend of the band's classic songs and material previewed from their new studio album played energetically and with a vigour reflecting precisely how happy they were to be in a completely new environment which, in turn, welcomed them with open arms. The entire concert was recorded and mixed professionally by two of Poland's most experienced sound engineers, Piotr Papier and Marcin Cheblowski. The release itself also arrives courtesy of Poland's AudioTong label, with whom it is shared and wouldn't have happened without."

Artist:	HUMAN GREED
Title:	Black Hill: Midnight At The Blighted Star
Label:	LUMBERTON TRADING COMPANY (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	LUMB 011CD

This is the third release from the UK's finest exponents of melancholic experimentalism, Human Greed. In addition to the band's core membership of founder Michael Begg and his main collaborator Deryk Thomas, Black Hill: Midnight At The Blighted Star features well-poised contributions from special guests Julia Kent (Antony & the Johnsons, Blind Cave Salamander), Fabrizio Palumbo (Larsen, Blind Cave Salamander), David Tibet (Current 93) and Clodagh Simonds (Fovea Hex, Mellow Candle). Although in many ways far gentler than previous Human Greed albums, Black Hill packs a significant punch. Part nightmare train journey to a bruised and foreboding underworld, part voyage beyond the alluring tails of shooting stars to an aching void of longing, this album may prove to be the band's sullen masterpiece. Processed electronics, treated acoustic and electric instruments and numerous field recordings are eloquently arranged to present a composition as satisfying in its formal arrangement as it is breathtaking in its emotional impact. Although possessed with a very individual sound, Human Greed's sounding notes may draw comparisons to the timeless, stretched melancholia of Stars Of The Lid, Black Light District-era Coil, Nurse With Wound's less whimsical moments, William Basinski's evocations of lost time and romantic despair and even Brian Eno's ambient work. None of this, of course, accounts for the ever-present, unsettling air of cruelty and, occasionally, latent violence, that adds a singularly dark note to their work.

Artist:	BROWN, HANNIS
Title:	Severe Insomnia
Label:	LUMBERTON TRADING COMPANY (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	LUMB 015CD

Severe Insomnia -- the second release by New York-based experimental composer Hannis Brown and his first album for Lumberton Trading Company -- is a spine-chilling and unpredictable rollercoaster-ride of a listen. The 11 instrumental tracks run the gamut from musique concrète tape collages and electroacoustic composition to works for chamber ensembles, orchestra, and solo prepared guitar. Inspired by the meandering and disjunct images that manifest themselves on the backs of eyelids during bouts of insomnia, the music is charged with an instability marked by atonal explosions of saxophones, sedate interludes of electronic and orchestral textures, and nightmarish climaxes of tone clusters.

Artist:	GLASS OUT
Title:	Never Force A Left Handed Child To Use Their Right Hand
Label:	LUMBERTON TRADING COMPANY (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	LUMB 016EP

Lumberton Trading Company presents the debut release, Never Force A Left Handed Child To Use Their Right Hand, by solo artist Andrew Ainslee Dewar, a UK-based composer who creates atmospheric music from textures, tones and gentle oscillations with a somewhat melancholic or reflective slant. These three tracks add up to over 30 minutes of music, plus features the late Jhonn Balance (Coil) on the piece "Manifesto," delivering a rarely-heard reading of the Coil Manifesto, which was first broadcast on Holland's VPRO station.
