Artist:	BILL WELLS TRIO
Title:	Incorrect Practice
Label:	GEOGRAPHIC (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	GEO 005CD

"Self-taught musical visionary Bill Wells releases his brand new album Incorrect Practice. Incorrect Practice is a different mood altogether from the robust legend that we now recognise as Bill Wells, with its dreamy sequence of fast-fading polaroids, after-party comedowns and 4am walks through the Scottish countryside. The most useful reference point would be some of John Barry's elegiac early 1960's scores. The trio features Bill Wells (piano/samples), Stevie Jackson from Belle & Sebastian (harmonica) and Robert Henderson (trumpet). Also features Lindsey Cooper on tuba."

Artist:	NAGISA NI TE
Title:	Songs For A Simple Moment
Label:	GEOGRAPHIC (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	GEO 011CD

"Songs For A Simple Moment was conceived as a retrospective of the music of Shinji Shibayama and the two great groups he has lead - The Hallelujahs (1985/88), and since 1992, Nagisa Ni te, a co-venture with his partner, Masako Takeda. These two projects, alongside Shibayama's sterling work for the legendary Osaka based label ORG (Maher Shalal Hash flaz, Naoki Zushi) place him absolutely at the vanguard of a type of Japanese Music which is sometimes referred to as folk-psyche. The Shibayama (and Takeda) variation is particularly beautiful, characterised by honesty and emotional nakedness, and by complex melodic structures and fragile vocals, which often give away to incredible soaring guitar solos. In Japan, Nagisa Ni te's music is on the ascendence and a new album, Feel, has just been released. At a time when interest in the Japanese underground is at an all-time High, Geographic are proud to present the stunning music of Nagisa Ni te, an extremely collectable Japanese psyche-folk group. Nagisa Ni te's music is as pure as a secret water spring; enchanted, free-flowing and beautiful. So placing them isn't easy, but what they share with groups like (their friends and collaborators) Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Belle & Sebastian and God Speed You Black Emperor!, is a purity of intent which makes their out-of-nowhere music suddenly seem really important. To take those comparisons further, melodically, you could say Nagisa Ni te are often as memorable as songs on the first two Belle & Sebastian albums, while their uncompromised pursuit of truth, and their love of heavy sounds, relates to Maher and God Speed You Black Emperor! (whose 'leader', Efrim, is a fan). The LP version of this retrospective is on double vinyl in a beautiful gatefold sleeve."

Artist:	WELLS TRIO, BILL
Title:	Also In White
Label:	GEOGRAPHIC (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	GEO 015CD

"A perfectly paced, perfectly structured album that feels like a first masterpiece -- mood, melodic, soundtrack, jazz music for the new millennium with the ghosts of Duke Ellington and Miles Davis. On D.A.D.E Wells collaborates with Stephen and Katrina of the Pastels fame, showing his love for a great avant pop tune. Belle and Sebastian revere Bill Wells after numerous live performances together. Stevie Jackson is a permanent member of the Trio; and Bill also has an upcoming mini-album with Isobel Campbell."

Artist:	PASTELS, THE
Title:	The Last Great Wilderness
Label:	GEOGRAPHIC (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	GEO 018CD

"The Last Great Wilderness, the movie, is a supernatural thriller set in the Scottish Highlands. Undoubtedly much of the film's distinctiveness comes from its use of music and the type of rare collaboration which director David Mackenzie established with The Pastels, on this, their first film music commission. On this project, participating musicians were Stephen McRobbie, Katrina Mitchell, Tom Crossley, Alison Mitchell, Gerard Love, Bill Wells, Tori Kudo, Colin McIlroy, James Rutledge, Jarvis Cocker, Bal Cooke, John McEntire." 24-minute mini-album soundtrack.

Artist:	DIRECTORSOUND
Title:	Redemptive Strikes
Label:	GEOGRAPHIC (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	GEO 020CD

"The debut album from multi-instrumentalist and composer, Nick Palmer aka Directorsound. Holed up in his Dorset village, Directorsound has been carefully melding together a masterpiece of delicate piano and acoustic pieces that flow like a gentle, anarchic stream of consciousness. The gentle reflective tone is only broken by sudden outbreaks of furious triumph, as the one-man ensemble seems to go to war with itself. There's a loose connection here with Geographic label-mates like International Airport, Maher Shalal Hash Baz and Bill Wells, but make no mistake this is highly original stuff -- the result of Nick battling against, and revelling in the limitations of his equipment and somehow making beautiful music out of nothing."
