Artist:	TENOR, JIMI
Title:	Out of Nowhere
Label:	MATADOR
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	OLE 460 CD

"Out of Nowhere is Tenor's third album for Warp and his first for Matador. It is NOT his long-awaited 'pop' album. It marks Jimi Tenor as a serious composer, extremely dislocated from everything else going on. This is Jimi's first orchestral record, and was recorded with the 60-piece Orchestra of the Grand Theatre Lodz, in Poland. The results are insanely varied. 'Blood On Borscht' sounds like Carl Orff's Carmina Burana covered by a heavy metal band with a cast of 1000 slave extras... on the Planet of the Apes. In other words: terrifying. Single and video track 'Spell' riffs on Curtis Mayfield in his sublime early 70s period on the Curtdom label. And the opener'"Out of Nowhere' marries the high drama of Lalo Schifrin to music reminiscent of a scene of alien abduction somewhere in Nevada. Elsewhere, Jimi has Baluji Shrivastav, his blind sitar player, tune his instrument to the Chinese scale to approximate a 'Hollywood idea' of Asian music. Yes, that bizarre."

Artist:	MISSION OF BURMA
Title:	ONoffON
Label:	MATADOR
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	OLE 613CD

"The first new recordings in 22 years from avant-rock titans Mission of Burma, whose recent reunion concerts have sold out major venues across the nation. ONoffON is a work of staggering complexity, showcasing a group just as exciting in 2004 as they were in 1982. Produced by Robert Weston (Shellac), the album brims with all the raw power of their '80s releases Signals, Calls, and Marchesand Vs., yet reveals tones, textures and lyrical themes unimaginable the first time around."
