Artist: SHIPP, MATTHEW
Title: Symbol Systems
Label: NO MORE RECORDS
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: NO 001CD
1995 release. A solo piano studio recording (his first solo). Mixing post-jazz tonalities and avant textural nuance, this is a masterwork of intense new music.


Artist: PARKER, WILLIAM
Title: Lifting The Sanctions
Label: NO MORE RECORDS
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: NO 006CD
1998 release. A tour-de-force of solo bass. Words can't express the master musicianship that radiates from William Parker's music. There is a strong focus throughout this release on William's bowing and composition. William's insightful liner notes on bass theory and technique are invaluable for anyone who is familiar with his music.


Artist: PYRAMID TRIO
Title: Ancestral Homeland
Label: NO MORE RECORDS
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: NO 007CD
1998 release. The Pyramid Trio, led by Roy Campbell, has been on the NY scene since 1984. This is their first domestic release and it features the original line-up of Campbell (tp, fl, perc.), William Parker (b, perc.) and Zen Matsuura (drums). The music of this group is based on the music of the world both composed and improvised. By encompassing African, Native American and jazz structures, the music transcends styles by freely shifting between percussion jams, beautiful melodies and improvised jazz.


Artist: BROWN QUARTET, ROB

Label: NO MORE RECORDS
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: NO 008CD
Studio recording by the quartet of Rob Brown (alto sax, flute), Roy Campbell (trumpet), Chris Lightcap (bass), and Jackson Krall (drums).

Title: Light Trigger
Label: NO MORE RECORDS
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: NO 009CD
Studio recordings from 1998 by the duo of Mat Maneri (viola) and Randy Peterson (drums). "The voicings on this CD are incredible, serene, unnervingly beautiful, and at times ponderous with an almost painful deliberateness. The commitment to each other, the push/pull, the complete acceptance, warm/cold simple facts, illuminated prisms floating precariously above a high wire, compassionately sewn together -- sometimes quirky, almost mischievous." --Steve Dalachinsky


Artist: LOWE QUINTET, FRANK
Title: Soul Folks
Label: NO MORE RECORDS
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: NO 010CD
A live date from 1998, originally released 2001. This CD is a celebration of Frank Lowe's lyrical side. The group explodes with raw beauty and emotion. There is a sweet soul that enraptures you upon listening as the music swings -- hard. Featuring Bertha Hope (piano), Jack Walrath (trumpet), Steve Neil (bass) and Ralph Peterson (drums).


Artist: LOWE/BILLY BANG QUARTET, FRANK
Title: One For Jazz
Label: NO MORE RECORDS
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: NO 011CD
Lowe and Bang made jazz infamy with the late Denis "Jazz" Charles in their '70s group The Jazz Doctors. Bang and Lowe pay tribute to their old friend by playing some serious music. Nobody plays like Bang or Lowe!!! They need the heavy rhythm section of Ed Schuller on bass and Abby Rader on drums to balance them out. People are still talking about their debut at the Vision Festival in NY.


Artist: DNA
Title: DNA on DNA
Label: NO MORE RECORDS
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: NO 012CD
2013 repress. New York's seminal no wave band, DNA, makes it's highly anticipated American CD debut with this definitive collection of studio and live recordings. Surviving two line-ups over a brief period of four years; this highly influential, strikingly original and extremely under-recorded band left a huge void in its wake. Formed in 1978, Brazilian-raised singer/guitarist Arto Lindsay hastily assembled an international trio of non-musicians. Robin Crutchfield played keyboard and Japan's Ikue Mori played drums. DNA played their first gig within weeks and recorded their first 7" shortly afterwards. The ear of Brian Eno was quickly caught, recording them for the infamous No New York compilation alongside James Chance, Mars, and Teenage Jesus & The Jerks. Before No New York was released, Robin left the band after a total tenure of nine months. Bassist Tim Wright had just left Pere Ubu, relocated to NY and quickly joined DNA. With a new face, a new instrument, and a new sound, DNA recorded their classic 9-minute EP A Taste Of DNA. DNA toured the States and Europe, bringing their explosive live show to a wider audience. DNA only released 12 songs during its lifetime, and another 3 shortly afterwards on a European compilation. Their impact was far and wide-reaching. Many musicians have sited DNA as a main influence including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and the band Blonde Redhead, who appropriated their name from a DNA song title. This CD compiles all of the studio and many choice live recordings. Of particular interest are the original line-up's "early versions" of "Detached," "5:30" and "Low" (which is closely related to "A New Low"). The unreleased studio tracks "Grapefruit," "Police Chase" and "Young Teenagers Talk Sex" are heard here for the first time, as well as live versions of the unreleased songs "Nearing" and "Surrender." Exclusive liner notes from Byron Coley, Jason Gross and Glenn O'Brien pack the 16-page booklet alongside many unseen photos and flyers.


Artist: DNA
Title: DNA on DNA
Label: NO MORE RECORDS
Format: 2LP
Price: $20.00
Catalog #: NO 012LP
Limited edition 2LP version featuring newly-discovered songs exclusive to this LP: "Pompeii," "Shrinking Thing," "Drinking Water," plus two encores from DNA's final performance at CBGB's. Housed in a gatefold sleeve.


Artist: MARS
Title: Mars LP: The Complete Studio Recordings NYC 1977-1978
Label: NO MORE RECORDS
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: NO 014CD
[Note: Mars LP is the title, but this is a CD-only release]. The Mars LP is the definitive collection of the 32 minutes of studio recordings released on vinyl between 1977 and 1979 by the most influential no wave band from the era, Mars (Sumner Crane, China Burg, Mark Cunningham, Nancy Arlen). Supervised by the surviving members, remastered from original sources without any added effects, and packaged with detailed notes and lyrics, the Mars LP is an effort to showcase the group's legacy and make up for the unavailability of these tracks in their original sound. Described by Lydia Lunch as "Static transmissions from a distant dark star. Taking up and tripping out further than The Velvet Underground's 'Black Angel Death Song,' Mars punished not with blunt force, but with a propulsive agitation which signaled a neurological insanity. A crippled tension swathed in nervous friction. A cavernous musical universe riddled with eerie sound storms whose poisoned atmosphere seduced and threatened. Obtuse and unforgiving. Sickly sexy. Red noise redefining bass urges, forcing the listener to question their own sanity by drilling into ear holes using electroshock guitars as saw blades trepanning into grey matter. Mars unleashed a choking cacophony illustrating the body as machine in disrepair fuelled by the impending repulsion and disintegration of a perverse romance with one's own demons. Demons who once wrenched free, made mimicry of the jangling nerve centers, and given voice as song, turned schizophrenic and howled these testimonials to the unbearable." Includes their first single on Rebel/Ze, the No New York tracks, and the Mars EP on Lust/Unlust Music -- the complete discography. This CD should be considered as an alternative to the still-valid 78+ CD on Atavistic -- this one features all the original recordings as intended, with all the Thirlwell sound reprocessing of the Atavistic CD eliminated.
