Artist:	MOVE D/NAMLOOK XVI
Title:	Travelling the Silk Route
Label:	PK RECORDS (UK)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$32.00
Catalog #:	PK 08/183CD

2CD. CD1: DTS 5.1 music disc. CD2: stereo CD version, "Recorded live at David's reSource studio in Heidelberg Dave and Pete this time explore travelling the silk route in a journey through sound. Jazz, oriental sounds, environmental ambient and innovative percussions relate to the silk route as a synonym for a trade and cultural transmission route winding through different civilizations as well as various landscapes connecting East and West Asia. The musical sequences are combined in a superb way, which portray the links of traders, merchants, pilgrims, monks, nomads and urban dwellers traveling from China to the Mediterranean Sea during various periods of time on the route. The rich and inventive music is a union of cultural elements reflecting the Silk Road which was a significant factor in the development of the great civilizations and helped to lay the foundations for the modern world." DTS 5.1 music disc/stereo 2CD. For compatibility reasons (to listen to the music in the car or at your friend's or if you don't own a DTS capable 5.1 Surround System) we included a stereo CD version in the double CD-pack.

Artist:	GLORY DOMINION POWER MAJESTY
Title:	Half Moon Productions
Label:	PK RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	PK 009CD

"An astounding set drawing from the seventies and early-eighties heyday of this Toronto-based reggae label, when it played host to stars like Augustus Pablo, Stranger Cole, Johnny Osbourne and Leroy Sibbles. Their Half Moon singles are included, with backing by the in-house Super 8 Corporation band, alongside one-away classics by locals like Pluggy Satchmo and Dill Smith. These productions by Oswald Creary -- most of them will be new even to die-hard reggae fans -- are in the tradition of Lee Perry, Keith Hudson and childhood-friend Bullwackies, though at the same time they are utterly unlike anything else. Raw, twisted and compelling, at times staggering music. This is the second album on the PK imprint, after the much-loved Darker Than Blue compilation (a co-release with the Blood and Fire label). Brilliant mastering by Von Oswald as usual; and both formats come in silk-screened sleeves." Artists: Joe Higgs, Stranger Cole, Super 8 Corporation, Louis O'Connor, Pluggy Satchmo, Rothadam, OJ, The Blenders, Dill Smith, Stranger Cole & Jah Levi, Bongo Ossie & The Moonlights, Johnny Osbourne, Bingi Kicks & G.Campbell, Leroy Sibbles & The Otravis Band, Carl Dawkins.

Artist:	FAMILY MAN BARRETT
Title:	Soul Constitution
Label:	PK RECORDS (UK)
Format:	10"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	PK 010EP

"This record inaugurates a series of deep reggae instrumentals. The theme here is the reggae constitution of funk, and vice versa. The Wailer's Meters/JBs tribute sustains over three minutes the toughest break you've never heard; the atmospheric Portobello sets Augustus Pablo melodica vibes against Shaft wah-wah; and Lynn Taitt's previously-unreleased track is tight and edgy, showcasing flute and fatback guitar. Dedicated to the devastation of the genre Funky Reggae."
