Title:	URP Vol 2
Label:	INTONE (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	INTONE 004CD

2004 release, last copies. "Intone Records is a label concerned solely with the release of various Richard H. Kirk recording projects. URP Vol. 2 carries on with 'electro/breaks/Latin/Dub', a retrospective collection of spikey beats/joints totally unreleased previously... all written and produced by Richard H. Kirk. Kirk has been sitting on much of this material for several years, until the facility to digitally edit and enhance it was in place; so what you have is a body of work which has recently been sonically overhauled and now ready for release in 2004. Old school breaks and electro with a difference, the beats embellished with cheeky Latin grooves and shed splitting dub interventions welded to some serious head pounding rhythm. Will be followed later in the year by the 3rd and final installment in the series, URP Vol. 3, chilled beats and ambient funk."

Title:	Meets the Truck Bombers of Suburbia
Label:	INTONE (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	INTONE 006CD

"The first full Richard H Kirk album since Loopstatic (Touch 2000), this album sees Kirk moving into some harder sonic territory. Punky reggae house party meets basement electro tech dub featuring on vocals Pat Riot, latest Kirk collaborator and local production krew and dub exterminators The Truck Bombers Of Suburbia. Already out on a 7" single, 'Who's Afraid (of the red white and blue)', as part of the Electronic Bible Project (white label), this track is a mean slice of electro punk, which takes as its theme the violent age of gun culture, American imperialism and macho nuke em philosophy. Full on electro metal guitars ricochet from inside echoplex distortion perfect soundtrack to the smell of burning flesh as gung ho grunts melt defenseless women and children with their death rays."

Title:	Earlier/Later: Unreleased Projects Anthology 74/89
Label:	MUTE UK (UK)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	KIRK 006CD

"Selected from over seven hours of archive recordings, the majority of which has never before been available, Earlier/Later - Unreleased Projects Anthology 74/89 documents a fifteen-year period of private research and personal development by Richard H. Kirk. Committed to cassette and then forgotten, they have been transferred onto CD with a minimum postproduction. Throughout the two CD release is evidence of Kirk reinventing himself through the sparse dynamics of dance music and laying down the groundwork for his later Sandoz and Sweet Exorcist projects. The earliest material, recorded onto open-reel tape machines using the most basic equipment, is raw and inventive."
