Artist:	THOMAS/THE WORMHOLES, RICHARD
Title:	Seven Point Plan to Destroy Astrology
Label:	LO RECORDINGS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	LO 010CD

"Logical pairing of these two 'outsider' acts by their UK record label, Lo Recordings. Richard Thomas was introduced to the world via his tracks on the initial Invisible Soundtracks volume on Leaf, and has since released a 12" and full-length CD for Lo (the brilliant Shoes and Radios Attract Paint, a set of multichannel tape constructs that through some tormented logic earned him the tag 'The Welsh Sun-Ra') and a recent 7" for Leaf. The Wormholes are low-bit live improvising rock 'unit' who sired a few tracks which found their way onto the Mutations series of compilations (that would be United Mutations and Further Mutations, both on Lo) thusly introducing them to the whole lot of miscreants aligned with said releasing organization. Thomas' analog-tape 're-productions' refashion The Wormholes' July '97 London show into something that's not quite 'post-rock' or 'electronic(a)', it's more free-jazz/concreté in spirit. Sounds jump out of the stereo spread in no particular order." -- Hrvatski.

Artist:	BRIK, ADDIE
Title:	My Little Pony Ride
Label:	LO RECORDINGS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	LO 014EP

"Awesome six track EP which boasts a Plaid mix. A surprisingly ear-friendly release from Lo Recordings with vocals, melody, strings and much Twin Peaks style beauty. Addie Brik is an American singer/musician who has sung with Sugarhill Gang, Wendy & Lisa and more recently Luke Vibert & DJ Cole on the highly acclaimed Stop the Panic album. On this record, Addie is joined by Jono Modmore, the Russian Chamber Orchestra of London, Richard Thomas, and of course Plaid, whose stunning remix of 'Bonded' is released here for the first time on vinyl."

Artist:	TWISTED SCIENCE
Title:	Deep and Warm
Label:	LO RECORDINGS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	LO 015CD

"A brand new offering from Twisted Science, a.k.a. Jon Tye. After last year's most abrasive and critically acclaimed The Sharpest Tool In The Box comes Deep and Warm, an altogether more friendly album and yet still deeply twisted. A cut and paste collage that recalls the cinematic scope of DJ Shadow, the layered psychedelia of Jim O'Rourke or Cornelius at his most abstract. This is electronic music at its most challenging, yet like the recent Uziq album, full of melody and humor."

Artist:	VA
Title:	Alternative 3 (Original Soundtrack)
Label:	LO RECORDINGS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	LO 019CD

"Conspiracy theory alert! In 1977 Anglia Television aired a documentary called 'Alternative 3' as one of their Science Report programmes. A3's basic premise is that our planet is doomed to die from global warming and America and Russia have been secretly co-operating for decades, have colonised Mars with selected superior humans and plan to leave the rest of the human race to die when the time comes. The response to the broadcast was unprecedented with many people phoning in, newspaper articles and even questions in the house. In an effort to stop the panic the producers of the programme issued a statement claiming that the show was in fact a hoax and had been originally scheduled for broadcast on April Fools day. This bizarre story has now been made into a major feature film starring Cornelia Fischer and Oliver Tubb with a suitably eclectic electronic score featuring Add N to X, Stereolab and Hairy Butter that recalls classic sci-fi soundtracks of the 70's such as The Adromeda Strain and Demon Seed. The film itself will be released in the summer of 2001 with preview screenings scheduled to coincide with the release of the album."

Artist:	ROTHKO
Title:	Not Gone. Not Forgotten.
Label:	LO RECORDINGS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	LO 024CD

"The band Rothko have built up quite a name for themselves both in their home country of England and abroad. Anyone who's seen them live knows what a colossal sound they're capable of, equaled only perhaps by Godspeed, Mogwai, or Sonic Youth at their finest moments. With three basses, the group improvises melodies, effects, wall of sound tones, all tied together by great musicianship and a collaborative feeling for when not to play. Space is a crucial part of this music. Not Gone. Not Forgotten. takes in live recordings from the last 4 years, including their very first show ever at the Hope & Anchor in London, right up to June of 2001. With eight of the tracks previously unreleased, some of them only ever played once, this album is the only document of how Rothko sound as a live 3-bass phenomenon."

Artist:	BLACK DEVIL DISCO CLUB
Title:	The Strange New World Of Bernard Fevre
Label:	LO RECORDINGS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	LO 078CD

"In 1975, before the release of the first Black Devil Disco Club album, Bernard Fevre released an album called The Strange World of Bernard Fevre. Like the first Black Devil album, it was so far ahead of its time that even now, people struggle to believe it was really recorded over 30 years ago. Now Fevre has once again unlocked his magical cabinet and made available new mixes of the original tracks, along with previously unheard compositions. So crisp and inventive are the electronics, so haunting and eternal the melodies, it is as if this music has always existed. Which are new tracks and which come from the same era as the original album, Fevre is no hurry to reveal. For him, there is a single space-time continuum, and where and when individual events occur is of little importance. If Black Devil is all about creating Afro-infused disco grooves that impel the listener to dance, the music of Bernard Fevre transports one to a place where everything is clearer, sharper -- an intense hyper-reality, not unlike states glimpsed during those all-too-fleeting moments of successful drug ingestion, and yet much more powerful and lucid. Musically, there are echoes of now-familiar styles, from the romanticism of Air to the electro pulse of Busta Rhymes, the lush tones of Drexciya, the wayward warp of Aphex Twin, and the delicacy of Kraftwerk. Deep joy awaits all who enter The Strange New World of Bernard Fevre, but first a warning: this music is a strong narcotic and should never be listened to while operating heavy machinery."

Artist:	MARCH, CHARLIE ALEX
Title:	Home/Hidden
Label:	LO RECORDINGS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	LO 079CD

"English composer Charlie Alex March excels in the use of lush strings and delicate vocals. Conjuring images of a soft collision between Aphex Twin and Nick Drake, or perhaps a hybrid of Steve Reich and Syd Barrett scoring a Tim Burton movie, March's music has a lingering, delicate beauty that lasts long after the final note rings out. After two acclaimed EPs -- one of which led David Bowie to comment, 'It's a beautiful glockenspiel- and string-led instrumental that gently comes and goes in under three minutes' -- March presents his most compelling work to date. Home / Hidden, his debut full-length album, is a wonderfully melodic and satisfying affair, gloriously English in a non-sniffy manner, like tea and crumpets or a stroll on an autumn day. Remarkably focused and mature, its eclectic mixture of real strings, treated piano, and all manner of electronic keyboards create a surprisingly coherent and comfortable musical vision. Home / Hidden continues March's association with Sean O'Hagan and Dominic Murcott of The High Llamas (who contribute string arrangements and vibraphone, respectively) and also features the talents of Andy Ramsay (of Stereolab) on drums, Jo Apps on vocals, and Gabriel (of Metronomy) on bass guitar."
