Title:	Career Move
Label:	PERDITION PLASTICS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	PER 006CD

2nd album by Chicago-based artist, associated with Cheer-Accident, You Fantastic, Brise-Glace, etc. "Includes 18 songs for piano and voice which are tightly contained sketches of personal pain." A "melancholic" set of songs for piano and voice, seemingly influenced by Burt Bacharach, Herb Alpert, Kansas and Steely Dan. Other influences will remain unspoken, as my keyboard is about to pass out. The Chicago Tribune says that Jones is a "musical rebel". Limited stock.

Artist:	DRUMM, KEVIN
Title:	Kevin Drumm
Label:	PERDITION PLASTICS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	PER 007.2CD

"This is the first reissue of Kevin Drumm's self-titled premiere solo recording since its original appearance in 1996. Perdition Plastics is honored to make Drumm's foundational work available again in a limited edition of 500 copies. Kevin Drumm is an established and respected composer and improvisational player. He emerged as a notable presence in the thriving Chicago avant-garde music scene of the '90s. This release introduced Drumm with seven tracks of improvised, advanced tabletop guitar. Recorded directly to Digital Audio Tape without edits or overdubs, Drumm evokes a powerful new perspective in guitar sound and method. By contrasting sparseness and complexity, Drumm links improvised new music with electronic composition. This sedate, monochromatic package helped further obscure listener expectations."

Title:	Second
Label:	PERDITION PLASTICS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	PER 010.2CD

"This is the first reissue of Kevin Drumm's Second since its original appearance and out-of-print status in 1999. In a limited edition of 500 copies, Perdition Plastics is delighted to make this work available once again. Drumm is well-known and respected as a composer and improvisational player. Second is indeed Drumm's second solo release and is comprised of three compositions. By appearing, disappearing, and reappearing, subtle and dissonant sounds characterize an internal dialogue within an almost filmic scenario. Foreshadowing his later, dark, ambient drone work, Second utilizes a variety of sources including: guitar, organ, accordion, and analogue synth finalized to computer to create this unique document within his extensive output. Compositionally precise and intricate, minute details emerge and illustrate the scope of Drumm's range."

Artist:	RLW
Title:	Points Of Reference
Label:	PERDITION PLASTICS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	PER 011CD

2002 release, restocked. "Ralf Wehowsky (Germany) Is one of the most respected electronic composers of our day. Utilizing sound as a psychological platform, the music of RLW causes the listener to (re)evaluate what one hears and why. Points Of Reference is a rare accomplishment, an intricate pastiche of natural and electronic forms appearing, blending, fading and regenerating within six thematic narratives. Wehowsky has been involved in the creation of critically important music for decades, notably with his involvement in the seminal group P16D4 and his partnership in the Selektion label. Points Of Reference is adorned by beautiful cover art photography from Dan Burke (Illusion Of Safety), with all processing being completed within the camera. Bruce Russell (Dead C/Corpus Hermeticum) contributes liner notes that amplify the vast levels of meaning and varied connections between all points of reference..."

Artist:	ILLUSION OF SAFETY
Title:	Probe
Label:	PERDITION PLASTICS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	PER 012CD

"This is the first reissue of Illusion of Safety's Probe since its only appearance in 1992. In a limited edition of 500 copies, Perdition Plastics is proud to reintroduce this notable work of contemporary composition. Veteran provocateurs Illusion of Safety examine an audio landscape found between youth and innocence, manufactured entertainment, and suburban complacency. Using a pastiche of field recordings and suggestively composed elements, Dan Burke and Jim O'Rourke strikingly capture ambivalence and their own personal interactions within this environment. Probe was one of several early, pinnacle works to foreshadow the unique and prolific audio fingerprint of renowned producer/player Jim O'Rourke, when still a compositional student in Chicago. This release fits neatly into O'Rourke's issuing of forgotten and initial recordings. As the constant center of Illusion of Safety since 1983, Dan Burke has consistently edited and evolved more than 20 CDs from ambience to electronica, from sound collage to post-industrial noise. The complexity and restraint found within Probe marked a compelling new direction for Burke and a great many others influenced by his music. Illusion of Safety has been released by such labels as Die Stadt, Experimedia, Silent, Soleilmoon, Staalplaat, Tesco, and Waystyx, among others. Collaborations include Cheer-Accident, Thomas Demuzio, Kevin Drumm, Ben Vida, and others. Probe will be of interest to those who enjoy Hafler Trio, Throbbing Gristle, Luc Ferrari, etc."
