Artist: MONTGOMERY, ROY

Solo album of instrumental pastoral drone from an ex-member of the Pin Group & Dadamah.


Artist: MONTGOMERY, ROY
Title: 324 E. 13th Street #7
Label: DRUNKEN FISH
Format: CD
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: DF 028CD
"Sixteen songs from now out-of-print singles, originally released by Drunken Fish, Siltbreeze, Roofbolt, Ajax, and Varispeed. The Shallows' songs, laid down three years after Roy's sides with the Pin Group, were recorded in the midst of a Kiwi-pop boom that still admitted the single as a viable means of expression. The rest were laid down nine years later in two separate bursts of recording on either side of the United States during the format's Indian Summer."


Artist: MONTGOMERY, ROY
Title: And Now The Rain Sounds Like Life Is Falling Down Through It
Label: DRUNKEN FISH
Format: CD
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: DF 041CD
"Highly anticipated solo album, his first in three years. Combining the pastoral drone of his instrumental guitar pieces with a strange twist in his quasi-folk songwriting and additional voices to the mix via piano and e-bow, And Now The Rain... is a stunning amalgam of soft-spoken isolation and soul-searing higher mindedness -- Fichelscher/Fricke arrangements filtered through a post-Velvets third-eye mind with an unmistakable Montgomery strum."


Artist: MONTGOMERY, ROY
Title: The Allegory of Hearing
Label: DRUNKEN FISH
Format: CD
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: DF 047CD
"Recorded in Montgomery's harbor cottage in Lyttleton, New Zealand, during October 1998 on his trusty Tascam Porta One and mixed in January 2000, Allegory is a return to an instrumental palette first witnessed on his debut Drunken Fish CD Scenes From The South Island and the Temple IV CD on Kranky. Armed with a newly acquired Rickenbacker 12-string and vintage Farfisa electric organ, plus the usual Teisco, e-bow, and Quadraverb arsenal, Montgomery has created eight short soundtracks of a particularly meditative nature."

Title: Temple IV
Label: KRANKY
Format: CD
Price: $13.00
Catalog #: KRANK 009CD
When his lips are sealed, Mr. Montgomery suddenly becomes quite listenable. This second solo album, following the Scenes From The South Island CD on D. Fish, is another instrumental trance epic. "Mayan aficionados out there will link the title and the famous site at Tikal. The tracks on the album are thick with interwoven guitar lines and Moog drone, inspired by the Guatemalan rain forests and mysterious ruins of the temple there."


Artist: MONTGOMERY, ROY
Title: Silver Wheel Of Prayer
Label: VHF
Format: CD
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: VHF 049CD
"With so much outward-bound free action these days, it's oddly comforting to hear someone's -- well, Roy Montgomery's -- version of the journey to the heart of the inner cosmos. A sister record to Montgomery's Drunken Fish CD The Allegory Of Hearing, Silver Wheel has seven complementary instrumental tracks, played mostly on Tiesco six-string and recorded mostly on four-track. A couple of tracks are dominated by a new Farfisa organ, which provides a gliding drone and waver on which to hang titles like 'For The Disoriented' and 'For The Mortified'."
