Artist:	UNDERGROUND EVOLUTION
Title:	Primordial Passage
Label:	PEACEFROG (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	PF 090 CD

"It's not often these days that a record label takes a chance in releasing music by a little known artist. Orders are gained mainly through profile alone rather than musical content. When this demo turned up it was obvious from the beginning that this was something entirely different from the usual run of the mill house and techno. It is also something very special and well worth taking a chance on. Chicago based Robert Grillo has recorded on the little known Black Zone records out of Italy and not much else. However, after speaking to other U.S producers it is obvious that he is well revered and respected as a musician and a producer on the Chicago scene. He can only be described as up and coming. This his first album is a collaboration with the Polish jazz singer Grazyna Auguscik and a host of hugely talented musicians. Grazyna has already released two solo albums and has worked with some of the current great names in jazz -- Michal Urbaniak, Urszula Dudziak and Bobby Enriquez to name but a few. His influences range from early primeval sounds to Herbie Hancock with the kind of Afro Cuban beats that you might hear on a Santana or Fela Kuti record. The standard of the musicianship is exemplary, the production carefully crafted and sublime. Underground Evolution may be a new name but to those who can find it this will be a buried treasure in many people's collections for years to come."

Artist:	FURRY PHREAKS
Title:	Want Me (Like Water)
Label:	PEACEFROG (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	PF G006CD

"Furry Phreaks classic 'Want Me Like Water' gets the remix treatment from four of the biggest names in house/electronica music. Abacus' funky up-front vocal mix is sure to be popular both on the dancefloor and radio alike while Herbert's excellent twisted dub is raw and sublime. Etienne De Crecy's remix is basically an unreleased Super Discount track. Beautiful string intro followed by big breaks and bass lines. Lastly the Presence dub reminds us that Charles Webster is one of the most sophisticated producers of deep house music in the UK; gracing us with a wonderful U.S style smooth instrumental. (look out for his forthcoming album later this year). The CD contains a bonus mix from the very popular Derby based At Jazz along with extra mixes from Ettienne De Crecy plus the original vocal and dubs."

Artist:	O'BRIEN, IAN
Title:	A History Of Things To Come
Label:	PEACEFROG (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	PF G009CD

"Recently described as 'the Herbie Hancock for the year 2000' Ian O'Brien launches in to his third album following from the highly acclaimed 'gigantic days'. The result is a fusion of global sounds and although the use of drum machines is an integral part of his songs there is an abundance of live percussion and instruments; Expect to find flutes cowbells Moogs bongo's etc mixed in with fender Rhodes and complex drum machine patterns. 'A history of things to come' is a cosmic jazz journey and will have cross over appeal with techno and jazz heads alike. He is also well respected amongst some of our own Detroit icons with personal endorsements from the likes of Moodymann and Carl Craig. The album is specifically aimed at the home listening market with the exception of the massive batucada track 'Teentown beats' already being caned on the dance floor circuit."

Artist:	JELLO
Title:	Voile
Label:	PEACEFROG (UK)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	PF G016LP

Double LP version. "'Jello' is the work of Darryl Fitton, otherwise known as the mysterious Bolaman or more widely known as 'Bola' -- an artist synonymous with electronic music in every sense, having assisted in the production and engineering of Autechre's first ground breaking album 'Incunabula', being a founder member of the ultra low key production outfit Geskom as well as being a key artist on Skam Records' multi faceted and expanding roster, it is fair to say that he has in many senses played a significant role in the development of electronic music as we know it today. Picking up where the Bola project left off, Jello takes things into entirely new territories by adopting a more diverse and alternative approach to the format of modern experimental music that is known as electronics. With the fusion of both male and female vocals, live piano, live drums and fender Rhodes alongside more traditional Bola styled production techniques the project provides an insight into the varying influences and sides to the Bola sound not yet heard in any of his previous outputs."

Artist:	NEWWORLDAQUARIUM
Title:	Heavy Metal EP
Label:	PEACEFROG (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	PF G034

"Newworldaquarium were first brought to the world's attention with a couple of limited, tripped out, minimalist EP's on one of Holland's most well respected & under rated imprints -- Delsin. 'Heavy Metal' is a stripped down, minimal affair reminiscent of early Basic Channel with a subtle building hypnotic groove. 'The Magnificent' is an irresistible spaced out & funked up chameleon, which effortlessly slips between break beat & your typical 4 to the floor beats. Finally, 'A Better Tomorrow' brings us a heart achingly beautiful nostalgic trip to Detroit, which should appeal to fans of, dare we say it -- Carl Craig."

Artist:	MOODYMANN
Title:	Silence In The Secret Garden

Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	PF G036CD

"Moodymann is a Detroit legend ranked alongside such revered & diverse producers as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Prince, Carl Craig & Mike Banks. One of the few electronic dance music producers whose albums exist for other places than just the dance floor. Moodymann has universal appeal to all fans of black music, with influences from Jazz, Hip Hop, R&B, House & Techno all to be found in his productions. Silence In The Secret Garden is another intensely personal & spiritual journey to the heart & soul of black music. From the relentless dark minimalism of the title track 'Silence In The Secret Garden', to the irresistible R&B flavoured morphing funk of 'Yesterdays Party?' this album will both surprise & inspire you. Of course the album is also packed full of Kenny's trademark soulful deep jazzy house, with the pure unadulterated beauty of 'Sweet Yesterday' standing out."

In 1996 he decided to start his own label Output. Free of any preconceptions or expectations and now able to release any genre of music he wishes, Trevor felt inspired again. The label has released over 40 titles to date, home to the likes of Fourtet, 7-Hurtz, Sonovac, Black Strobe, and others who equally excite and intrigue as they do confuse and perplex.

On Reproduction, Trevor shares his finest remix moments, with 16 tracks from some of clubland's most recognizable names reinterpreted into house anthems.

Title:	Sullen Look
Label:	PEACEFROG (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	PF G053CD

"Marco Passarani's musical journey began in the early nineties when he was involved in the burgeoning Roman techno radio scene. Around this time, he began participating in many warehouse parties and events performing both live and as a DJ. From these humble beginnings, Marco has steadily built a successful career as a pioneer and torch-bearer for the Italian electronic dance music scene, being recognised and respected as such both at home and internationally. Marco has always taken a very central, varied approach to music. Not only has he released an abundance of well-regarded singles and remixes on a host of international imprints, he has also established and run the labels Nature, Plasmek and Pigna, acting more as the producer behind such bands as Jolly Music, J's Pool, Monomorph and Ambit 3. Sullen Look, Marco's debut on Peacefrog infuses a wide range of influences, from early Detroit and electro to hip hop and funk, whilst holding onto an eclectic style that is all Marco's very own. Full of acid tinged breaks, spliced beats, and melancholy melodies, Sullen Look is a timeless album that manages to conjure up the bygone days of electronica whilst still appealing to the modern dance buyer's electro tinged sensibilities."
