"Recorded April 3-4, 2006 at Jottem, Wormerveer, Netherlands. Getatchew Mekuria is the most revered veteran of Ethiopian saxophone. He is the inventor of Shellele, a musical style originating from a heroic war-chant, translated to saxophone. The Ex fell in love with Ethopia and its music while touring there. When Getatchew went to the Netherlands, he brought 10 solo saxophone versions of Ethiopian tunes with him. Here Getatchew's melodies and solos mesh with The Ex's rhythms, noise and vocals, supported by a guest horn section, like they we made for each other!" 36-page booklet with extensive notes and rare photos.

Title:	Ililta!: New Ethiopian Dance Music
Label:	TERP (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	TERPAS 015CD

Compilation of contemporary urban Ethiopian dance music produced by Mesele Asmamaw (of Ethiopiques fame) and compiled by Terrie Ex and Emma Fischer. Includes a 24-page booklet of photos by Andy Moor. "The era of the Ethiopian big brass bands came to an end in the period of 1975-1991. In the last few years something new is emerging. Young producers have started combining traditional rhythms & strong dance beat production. The result is very original, uplifting & very danceable music. The gurage, wollo, gondar, konso & other traditional rhythms work wonders for this new dance music."

Title:	Lets Go
Label:	TERP (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	TERPIS 016LP

"In the winter of 2008, Han, Brodie and Terrie met at Jottem Studio to finally realize an idea that had been on their minds. It was good timing -- Terrie and Brodie had just returned from a tour of France with Getatchew Mekuria and The Ex. An unlikely combination of three greatly accomplished musicians -- not uncommon to improvised music -- none of them knew what would actually happen. While Bennink can be heard on hundreds of recordings, this may be the only record where you will hear him on a 'rock drum-kit.' It also contains the closest example of a foray into jazz for Terrie. Brodie has been well recorded on releases from Drumheller and The Lina Allemano 4. All of his cards are laid on the table with this release."

The evening before the latest project was about to leave Addis, Mesele Asmamaw, Paal Nilssen-Love & Mats Gufstafsson wanted to record. After a week full of sensational cooperation and excitement, they had something to say. In room 101 of the Baro Hotel, some microphones were set up and an hour later it was ready. 'Unheard music.' A krar, a baritone-sax and drums. Free improvising. Recorded Februari 27, 2010, in room 101 of the Baro Hotel, Addis Abeba, Ethiopia."
