Title:	Hydrocarbons From a Meteorite (Green)
Label:	TRANSPARENCY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	TRAN 0051

"Patrick Mata's legacy and reputation precede him. Founder/composer/leader and shapeshifter of the legendary death rock/gothic/industrial band Kommunity FK, mainman of Sativa Luv Box and conjurer of various other musical concepts, he releases his first solo CD, Hydrocarbons from a Meteorite (Green). Mata calls this first solo effort 'an experiment with chances improved for the love of mystery.' Mata went into the studio with only dreams and destiny, writing the tracks as the ideas and notions appeared from within. Able, with the opportunity to do anything he wanted, he put together this incredible experimental, avant garde masterpiece, straight down to the artwork and packaging. 'All of these songs and sound pieces were conceived with total love and psychedelic abandon, tattooed with question marks.' -Patrick Mata"

Artist:	APE HAS KILLED APE
Title:	Mattricide
Label:	TRANSPARENCY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	TRAN 0052

"This project contains members of Leather Hyman and W.A.C.O., along with three Theremin and sampled dialog from Planet Of The Apes films. It is both a satire of rock music and a Swiftian essay on the nature of power and control found in same. Actors from Planet Of the Apes films frequently perform, in costume, with this group, who manage to draw hundreds of people to each of their shows. The front cover shows Leather Hyman drummer Matt Stein with his mother (Mattricide -- get it?) and frying on LSD at school marching band practice, age 14, on the back."

Artist:	O.S.T (GREGOROPOULOS, STEVE)
Title:	Faith Of Our Fathers
Label:	TRANSPARENCY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	TRAN 0053

"Hamilton Sterling's dark and skeptical film Faith of our Fathers was a hit at the Los Angeles Film Festival a couple of years back. Since that time, it has played in art houses from New York to Cairo, to audiences who have found its strange mix of parable and borderline documentary/manifesto style both alluring and disturbing. One thing noted by reviewers and spectators alike has been the importance of the music -- with opera singers, prepared piano and exotic percussion augmenting a traditional orchestra -- to the themes of the film. This is a CD of the full score, plus several bonus tracks. All the music was composed, arranged and conducted by Steve Gregoropoulos and was produced by the director. It features several well-known names in new music in Los Angeles in uncredited (but nonetheless stellar) performances."
