Title:	The Best of Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour
Label:	CHROME DREAMS (UK)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	CHROME 5019CD

"In May 2006, Bob Dylan's voice floated over the airwaves and into people's homes via the medium of radio. Nothing unusual there of course -- Bob's been on the radio for more than 45 years. But what was different this time was that Dylan was the host of the show, the DJ, the one playing the records by artists other than himself. Over the year that followed, Bob was back every week with a further choice of songs, hand-picked from his own collection and covering virtually every genre ever invented. This 2CD set takes one track from each of the 52 shows that Dylan presented, and in doing so gives a fascinating glimpse into the tastes and passions of a man who himself has become a musical style all of his own." Featuring tracks from the Carter Family, Ruth Brown, Bessie Smith, Big Joe Turner, Duke Ellington, Blind Willie Johnson, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Slim Gaillard, Carl Perkins, Lead Belly & dozens more.

Featuring tracks recorded largely in the 1940s, '50s and '60s, from names as diverse as the ever popular John Cage, Frank Zappa's idol, Edgar Varèse, Sergeant Pepper cover star Karlheinz Stockhausen and even Auntie herself in the form of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (unlikely contenders perhaps, but nevertheless leaders in the development of sonic electronics], this compilation features the bizarre, the avant-garde , the experimental and even, on occasion, the fairly melodic. A treat for fans of contemporary names such as Joe Meek, Kraftwerk, Can, Tangerine Dream, The Prodigy, Throbbing Gristle providing guidance on the roots of their chosen artist's muse, the potential market for this extraordinary collection is enormous." Compiled -- and with extensive sleevenotes by -- 1950s/60s music historian (and Edgar Varese biographer) Alan Clayson, and featuring 16-page illustrated booklet, and finished in deluxe slipcase packaging, this beautifully designed set will surely become the standard collection of the original electronica.

Title:	Frank Zappa's Classical Selection
Label:	CHROME DREAMS (UK)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	CHROME 5049CD

Subtitled: The Dissonant Classics That Informed And Inspired Zappa. "A man of hugely eclectic tastes, Frank Zappa was a lover of everything from doo-wop to heavy metal and from jazz-funk to new wave. Indeed a radio show he produced for the BBC in 1980 found him playing records by Edgar Varese and Igor Stravinsky, representing his love of modern classical music. Featuring nineteenth and twentieth century mavericks as diverse as Wagner, Holst, Ravel, Boulez, Stockhausen, Schoenberg, Penderecki, Harry Partch and John Cage - in addition to the aforementioned Stravinsky and Varese - this collection illustrates the impulse for many of Zappa's own compositions and as a guide to the music Frank Vincent took to his heart and cherished throughout the major part of his tragically short life. Including fully illustrated 16 page booklet with extensive notes by music historian Derek Barker, this delightful package finally reveals what it was that informed so much of Frank Zappa's extraordinary music."

Title:	Roots Of Drone
Label:	CHROME DREAMS (UK)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	CHROME 5078CD

"Utilized in genres as disparate as modern and traditional classical, folk, techno, Chicago blues and even heavy metal, the repetition of a single note or chord of fixed pitch - otherwise referred to as a 'drone' - serving as permanent focus in a given opus, has graced as many compositions as it has influenced others. This compilation serves as a much anticipated but never before compiled guidebook to the finest examples of the use of drone throughout the age of magnetic tape, albeit in forms outside those loosely labeled 'modern music'." Artists include: John Cage , John Lee Hooker, Efisio Melis, The Borodin Quartet, Clarence Ashley, Floyd Jones, Sam Cooke & The Soul Stirrers, Muddy Waters , Ravi Shankar, OneWebern's Five Pieces For Orchestra, La Monte Young, Wagner, Giacinto Scelsi, Lou Monte, Bo Diddley, Howlin' Wolf, Khuda Box Mandrani, Miles Davis, Rolf Harris, Sir Thomas Beecham & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Yves Klein.
