Asbo
Label:
ASBO (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
ASBO 001EP
"One-sided white label. One of the fattest bass lines this year in dubstep finally gets an official release after months of dub plate action from the likes of Mala, Loefah, Skream, Hatcha and crew! Low slung, minimal, dutty business with seagulls on the chorus!!!"
ASTHMATIC KITTY
Artist:
SCHLARB, CHRIS
Title:
Twilight & Ghost Stories
Label:
ASTHMATIC KITTY
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.50
Catalog #:
AKR 404CD
"A work of personal identity and deep catharsis,
Twilight & Ghost Stories
is a dense 40-minute modern composition featuring a disparate cross-section of musicians from the avant-garde, independent folk, jazz and electronic communities (including Dirty Projectors, Sufjan Stevens, Walter Kitindu, Castanets, Parker Paul, Bhob Rainey, and Mick Rossi). A creative and accomplished jazz guitarist, Chris Schlarb cut his teeth producing hip-hop tracks, teaching music workshops and co-founding the free music collective, Create (!). Chris Schlarb is also one-half of I Heart Lung, which Tiny Mix Tapes called 'some of the most energetic free-jazz to spit out of America.' Spanning all of these endeavors,
Twilight & Ghost Stories
finds Schlarb playing acoustic piano, organ, electric and acoustic guitar, as well as tapes and percussion."
AVABELLA
Artist:
BUCKETHEAD
Title:
Acoustic Shards
Label:
AVABELLA
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
AVA 320CD
"An 'official' Buckethead album,
Acoustic Shards
features Buckethead alone on acoustic guitar. The sound is excellent! It was taped over two days in July 1991, a couple of weeks after the final Deli Creeps concert on the
Young Buckethead
DVDs, but is quite different musically. The 52:30-minute CD includes the first-known versions of 'Who Me' and 'For Mom,' a lot of great riffs that show up on later records, and a lot of stuff you've never heard before. Mostly improvised, the playing is spectacular -- some of it sounds like Django Reinhardt meets Ornette Coleman meets young Eddie Van Halen meets... well, that which is uniquely and lovably Buckethead. Some parts are just beautiful beyond words."
BAR 25 (GERMANY)
Artist:
JOHN, MATT/AUDION
Title:
Trampolin
Label:
BAR 25 (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.50
Catalog #:
BAR25 004EP
"Matt John is back with a new stunning piece of minimal techno. Stretching over more than eleven minutes, 'Olga Dancekowski' is another psychedelic journey through the hypnotic sounds of Mr. John, where little bleepy sequences accumulate a twisted impact for the eager souls on the floor. His buddy Matthew Dear (aka Audion) does need no further introduction. His remix is as twisted but he unleashes more eerie dancefloor frenzy. But listen for yourselves and enjoy."
BARE DUBS (UK)
Artist:
L-WIZ
Title:
Fruit Shop
Label:
BARE DUBS (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
BDR 004EP
"For the first time Bare Dubs is pressing 12" records, now delivering 3 tracks from the Swedish producer L-Wiz. This is a very summery, chilled out release. The first track 'Fruit Shop' has some incredible piano skills with a reggae groove and a flowing sub bass line. The track evolves into a synth which is more connected to dubstep before dropping out into a live solo to top off the production skills. 'Pirates' brings more energy with a rough synth lead and light bubbly piano to dub out the sound and create chilled out vibes. 'Syrup Feeling' sounds perfect for a movie with a very low sub bass line and the trumpet creates a relaxed vibe. The drum groove is different compared to your normal tracks as it has no snare. The track progresses by slowly, leading you on into its skank and multiple breakdowns."
BASIC REPLAY (GERMANY)
Artist:
PRINCE JAZZBO
Title:
Versions
Label:
BASIC REPLAY (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
BRUJ 001EP
"Four riveting, deeply grooving digital-dub productions for his own Ujama label by the great deejay Prince Jazzbo -- widely celebrated for such toasts as 'Imperial I,' 'Mr Harry Skank' and 'Natty Passing Through Rome' for the likes of Coxsone Dodd, Glen Brown and Lee Perry. From the late '80s, sides like these announced a new era in reggae. Replay Version sets the mood here -- malevolent, sick and paranoid, but haunting, and funky like a train, with cruelly brilliant effects; really a stunning piece of music." Tracks: "Replay Version" / "Once Bitten Version" / "Senci Addick Version" / "Senci Pipe."
BATTLE RECORDINGS (FRANCE)
Artist:
SASSE VS. NAUGHTY
Title:
All Good/Sick At Home

BATTLE RECORDINGS (FRANCE)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
BAT 012EP
"Back with a slamming new Battle 12" by none other than Sasse and Naughty! As you all know, those guys have been causing serious dancefloor damage for many years. Recently they graced our friends at Crack & Speed with a mean slice of vinyl, Sasse's Moodmusic celebrated its 10 years in style and Naughty released an excellent EP on the very same Moodmusic: can't stop, won't stop!"
BECAUSE MUSIC (FRANCE)
Artist:
MR. OIZO/SEBASTIEN TELLIER/SEBASTIAN
Title:
Steak OST Sampler
Label:
BECAUSE MUSIC (FRANCE)
Format:
7"
Price:
$7.00
Catalog #:
BEC 5772135
"Limited edition teaser sampler from the
Steak
OST. First long film by Quentin Dupieux aka Mr. Oizo. This original project is the result of the collaboration between Quentin Dupieux aka Mr. Oizo, famous for his electronic saturated, deranged nursery rhymes, whose planetary hit single 'Flat Beat' illustrated the Levi's ad campaign of 1999. Sebastian, considered for the past 3 years as one of the most talented producers of his generation, has already released two singles on Ed Banger Records and stroke remixes for Kelis, Daft Punk, Mylo, the Rakes and the Klaxons. And Sebastien Tellier, a troubadour that has contributed to the re-birth of French pop creating a very personal universe influenced equally by traditional 'Chanson Française' and by film scores from the '60s and '70s, with a tinge of experimental."
Artist:
VIOLA, FREDO
Title:
The Sad Song
Label:
BECAUSE MUSIC (FRANCE)
Format:
10"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
BEC 5772159
"Fredo has already been collaborating with Massive Attack and this debut EP is the perfect introduction to this wonderful new artist. The choral majesty of Fredo's voice and the utterly refreshing production sound sets this EP apart as something very exciting indeed. Three different tracks open the account; the sweet electronic waves of the title track, the playful sounds of 'Hogwash' and the dark demented abrasive 'Ether.' It's quite the debut."
Artist:
KLAXONS
Title:
As Above, So Below
Label:
BECAUSE MUSIC (FRANCE)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
BEC 5772165
Features a Justice remix. "Klaxons' new French exclusive release. Too good to be true? Probably, but it has happened: UK indie rockers Klaxons have been remixed by cruising Parisian electro producers Justice and the result is this swoon-worthy track which adds a definitive club appeal to the song. Think Michael McDonald and the old sound, proof that we still have much to learn from decades past. On the B-side, you'll find the original track, but sung in French, yes, by Klaxons themselves, which makes this 12" a genuine French exclusive EP. Vive la France!" Pressed on clear vinyl.
Artist:
JUSTICE
Title:
Phantom II
Label:
BECAUSE MUSIC (FRANCE)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
BEC 5772169
"Great set of remixes. 2000% hit again and again and again. Do you remember the first 2000 limited masterpiece
Phantom
with some children singing on the flip? It was before that 'D.A.N.C.E.' struck the world and stuck everybody to the B.E.A.T. This time, on the A-side, the whole 'Phantom' story is related: Part 1 + Part 2. On the B-side, Soulwax bring their trademark: a meticulous sonic exploration plus some extra-sensory abuse thrown in for good measure to the head-swirling disco violins of 'Phantom Pt II.' Peddling a noisy (of course), pummeling and instantly likeable electro-house style, Herr Ridha aka Boys Noize is responsible for this big out-and-out (and out) Vox mix! As a part of that axis of European speaker-blowers (including the Institubes and Ed Banger lot) he manages on this remix to re-cut up the original 'Tenebrae' Goblin sample to a fantastic dancefloor-banging tune."
BELLA CASA (UK)
Artist:
DELL'ORSO, EDDA
Title:
Voice
Label:
BELLA CASA (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
CASA 008CD
"Edda Dell'Orso is the sound of Italian cinema. Her astonishing voice is recognizable to anyone who has experienced the landmark spaghetti western films made by Sergio Leone; films that were in the mid-'60s scored by a young whippersnapper called Ennio Morricone. The recent revival of interest in mid-century post-modern art and the restoration of so many wonderful Morricone scores has led many to discover Edda Dell'Orso. Her work is the epitome of intelligence and sophistication. It is utopian in its scope and its potential is vast."
Artist:
SIMONETTI WITH GOBLIN, ENRICO
Title:
Gamma
Label:
BELLA CASA (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
CASA 010CD
"Re-issue of Enrico Simonetti & Goblin's impossibly rare score for the cult Italian early '70s TV drama,
Gamma
. The title track was to Italy what
Eye Level
was to England, reaching number 1 in the national singles chart and ironically at the same time knocking Goblin's
Profundo Rosso
from the top of the perch (thus the first example of a teen pop star -- Claudio Simonetti, being knocked off number one by his own father!) Enrico Simonetti was born in Brazil and the Latin influence is apparent in this impressive score, blending remarkably well with Goblin's inevitably far darker 'drug's theme.' One of the last Goblin collectables; its restoration for the first time in over three decades should ensure healthy sales among completists and indeed the many students of the Italian film genre. A gem for soundtrack outlets everywhere with strong export potential to Italy, America and Japan (where Goblin were huge)."
BLACK FIRE MUSIC
Artist:
JUJU
Title:
A Message From Mozambique
Label:
BLACK FIRE MUSIC
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
SES 19735LP
Grey area exact repro, originally released in 1973 on the Strata-East affiliated Black Fire label. This is the first LP from this classic Afro free jazz group. Very much in the spirit of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, but with more spiritual/soul jazz stylings tempering the pure free jazz fire music vibe. The group would shortly hereafter change their name to Oneness of Juju.
