Title:
Forever Is a Dream
Label:
FALLOUT (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.50
Catalog #:
FO 2025CD
This mysterious Chicago band's only album, which originally appeared in 1969, has been hailed in recent years as a lost classic. A beautifully-arranged set that alternates between fragile ballads, orchestrated pop and rousing hippie rock, it's highly sought-after by collectors and has an ever-growing reputation among fans of intricate psychedelia.

Title:
Veggie
Label:
RUNE GRAMMOFON (NORWAY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
RCD 2027CD
"This is the third album from the quartet featuring Iain Ballamy (sax), Arve Henriksen (trumpet), Mats Eilertsen (bass) and Thomas Strønen (trommer), produced by Helge Sten (Deathprod). The blend of Ballamy´s distinctive and lyrical saxophone and Henriksen´s breathy trumpet textures is the perfect foil for the entrancing bass and drum trips created by the young rhythm section and Deathprod's electronic soundscaping.
Veggie
also includes an exclusive track from Deathprod."

Title:
Last Supper
Label:
RUNE GRAMMOFON (NORWAY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
RCD 2041CD
"The fourth album from this quartet and quite possibly their very best. Brilliantly performed and recorded, it's highlighting the delicate balance between Ballamy and Henriksen's melodic and lyrical playing and the electronic soundscapes they fully started to explore on
Veggie
. Which speaks volumes when we know that
Veggie
was nominated for a Norwegian Grammy and received some outstanding reviews,
'this is remarkable, visionary music'
, (Jazz UK),
'a very important work'
, (Milkfactory, UK). And lets not forget Mats Eilertsen and Thomas Strønen, one of many excellent rhythm sections currently working in Norwegian jazz."

Title:
Molecular Gastronomy
Label:
RUNE GRAMMOFON (NORWAY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
RCD 2069CD
This is the fifth full-length release for Norway's
Food
, now down to the duo of
Iain Ballamy
(saxophones, alto flute) and
Thomas Strønen
(drums, electronics).
Molecular Gastronomy
was recorded by
Jeremy Cox
over a period of two years. Food was formed at the 1998 Molde International Jazz Festival when Iain Ballamy was invited to perform with three exceptional young Norwegian musicians. It soon became clear that the blend of Iain's distinctive saxophone and
Arve Henriksen
's breathy trumpet textures was the perfect foil for the entrancing bass and drum trips created by
Mats Eilertsen
and Thomas Strønen. It's fair to say that a good amount of Food's earlier output was written as opposed to improvised -- however, this duo-version is mostly improvised, much in the same way as the music of Strønen's other duo,
Humcrush
. Considered to be one of the most inventive Norwegian drummers, he has always been an important writer in Food. Ballamy's role is also expanded, giving more room to this quite excellent player.
Ashley Slater
-- who played with Ballamy in Loose Tubes in the late '80s and went on to form
Freakpower
with
Norman Cook
(
Fatboy Slim
) -- mixed this record and also contributes on three tracks.
Maria Kannegaard
plays Fender Rhodes on five tracks and is also a superb pianist with three trio-recordings to her name, including a number of Norwegian jazz recordings.
