album).

CLUSTER
Title:
Cluster '71
Label:
4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:
LP
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
4M 140LP
Full gatefold jacket. "Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius aka Cluster released this, their first album after Conrad Schnitzler (Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream) left the group originally known as Kluster, in 1971. On the outer edge of German space rock,
Cluster '71
stands as a testament to minimalist 'cosmische' music. The three untitled tracks are exploratory, ever-changing pieces which focus on guitar distortion and synthesizer wails. This album deserves the many accolades it's been given, and holds up as an early landmark in the history of beatless ambience."
Artist:
CLUSTER & ENO
Title:
Cluster & Eno
Label:
4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:
LP
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
4M 141LP
"Originally recorded and released in 1977, this pioneering ambient album brought together several legends of progressive electronic music: Brian Eno, solo artist and collaborator with David Bowie, Robert Fripp, and Roxy Music; Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius aka Cluster, both of whom made dozens of ground-breaking recordings throughout the '70s; and Conny Plank, who recorded everyone from Neu! to Ash Ra Tempel to Devo. This album was the first of several celebrated collaborations between these artists, whose influence looms over such current bands as Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, and Mouse On Mars."
A TOUCH OF CLASS (GERMANY)
Artist:
LEROSA
Title:
Design EP
Label:
A TOUCH OF CLASS (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$10.00
Catalog #:
ATC 019EP
"With no compromise to Design's tight dance flow, LeRosa (aka Leopoldo Rosa) puts his arranging and sound design artistry on full display in all four tracks on this killer deep EP. The A-side's urgent opener 'Babylon' slams furiously with snares leading the charge and jazzy piano motifs scurrying like mice over its pummeling house pulse; listen closely and you'll even glimpse vocal snippets adding a jungle chant along the sidelines. 'Cracked & Ready' catches its breath after the EP's intense beginning before venturing out on its own scenic tour with a hammering reggae bass line and aggressive funk strut the chaperones. The flip's jacking title cut percolates with an intricate weave of acidic synth lines, clattering rimshots, handclaps, and disco hi-hats, before 'Deception' nicely caps the set with a laid-back, summery fusion of soul-jazz and house sparked by trumpet and bright synth flourishes. Though he picked up his first synthesizer only seven years ago, the Dublin-based Italian producer clearly displays in his work an encompassing and deep familiarity with multiple genres and periods. Lerosa is definitely a man to watch out for in the future as clearly also demonstrated on his recent EP on UK's Real Soon imprint and other strong releases."

Artist:
PLANT 43
Title:
Grey Sky Cracks EP
Label:
A.i. (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
AI 018EP
"Excellent 4 track limited edition (400 only) EP from Emile Facey aka Plant 43. This EP takes its inspiration from living out in the country during the lush autumn and long, cold winter of '06. Combining the intricate soaring strings of classic Motor City music of the highest order with the raw analog drum sounds of early Kraftwerk. There's an effortless flow to these tracks that builds on string transitions that at times bring to mind the work of Convextion, who is also a big fan of Plant 43's music."

Artist:
PARALLEL 9
Title:
Technique EP
Label:
A.R.T.LESS (GERMANY)

12"
Price:
$10.00
Catalog #:
ARTLESS 2197EP
"No time to breathe again, the Mojuba sub-label hits again with real a peak time killer, which serves our minds and feet. This smashing 2-tracker is more evidence of the versatile musical talents of our beloved Dutch techno legend, Steve Rachmad. This time it's under his Parallel 9 moniker, which indicates an exceptional quality and deepness in techno every time! These tracks were produced way back in 1997, completely remastered and phattened by friend and supporter of the very first moment, 2000 and One! Once again, a serious collector's item."
ABDUCTION
Artist:
SUN CITY GIRLS
Title:
Juggernaut (Original Soundtrack Recording)
Label:
ABDUCTION
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
ABD 002CD
Originally released as a limited edition LP by Abduction Records in 1994, and released on CD for the first time ever, this is an essential yet overlooked
Sun City Girls
recording consisting of various electric and acoustic tracks with a few compositional ideas rarely heard or revisited in their immense back catalog. And when we say compositional, we mean improvisation as composition which was basically the SCG method of operation in the studio. The record opens with two patented SCG stretched electric guitar/bass/drum works of dark beauty and then things become weirder as odd keyboards, acoustic instrumental and percussive pieces, and strange vocals start to dominate the rest of the album, setting the mood for
Piasa... Devourer of Men
which was recorded directly after
Juggernaut
. These tracks were exclusively created for a short film project by
Mark Roman Bodnar
and
Kyrill Kazemirovitch Protsenko
(a Ukraine/USA co-production) which resulted in a limited promo VHS release and a few festival screenings before the film was buried and forgotten. Segments from many of the ten tracks were actually used in the film, although there is much more to hear on the original full-length cuts found here. Some of the most unusual SCG studio recordings are contained on
Juggernaut
, all recorded live to 4-track cassette in 1993 in Seattle by
Scott Colburn
.

Title:
Piasa... Devourer of Men
Label:
ABDUCTION
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
ABD 003CD
One of the strangest and most overlooked
Sun City Girls
recordings,
Piasa... Devourer of Men
was originally released on vinyl in 1994 and went out-of-print almost immediately. The record contains a series of short, folk-based tracks of raw beauty and intense moods. Most of the tracks were recorded in 1993 right after the completion of the
Juggernaut
soundtrack and some of the same ideas carried over into this project. A young and enthusiastic Italian director by the name of
Antonio Pomola
contracted SCG to create these recordings for his new film. The film was never completed and perhaps it was only an idea, but if it were to ever manifest, this music would certainly seem to fit the story line and the director's vision; the legend of a giant pre-historic flying reptilian terrorizing an early 1800s Indian tribe in Midwest America. Most of the tracks were created with acoustic instruments and voice and, with the exception of two tracks, the entire score was improvised. Recorded live to 4-track cassette by
Scott Colburn
, there is a strange, cohesive feel that runs throughout the album including several ceremonial and pan-ethnic tracks. Some cuts are completely indescribable. Reissued here on CD for the first time on Abduction, here is your chance to finally hear the cigarette played as a percussive instrument in an ashtray on the track "Nighthunting," among many other highly unique SCG tracks.

ADMNT 009EP
"As featured on the
Pimp on Flows
mixtape, Nasty Jack rides out the brukshot riddim adding a brooding bashment edge to its cutting edge grime maneuvers. Big one!"
ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Artist:
MORITA, TAKUYA
Title:
Woman and Shadow
Label:
ADJUNCT (GERMANY)
Format:
12"
Price:
$10.00
Catalog #:
ADJUN TILL009
"Tokyo-based Takuya Morita is one of the most promising young Japanese artists in the minimal techno scene. After releases on the Morr Music and CYMK labels, he is now debuting on Adjunct with his most uncompromising and powerful dance music to date. A single string pattern opens up 'Woman and Shadow,' its hypnotic summon is soon answered by syncopated bleepy patterns and staccato synth. Dark vocal samples permeate the scene, the bass warbles the floorboards, the cavalcade of rhythms soon turns its march into a gallop, a maddened late night ride of Takuya's wild stallions. Jeremy P. Caulfield catapults the original's sound particles into space and conducts their fall into a gracious dance of echoing and reverberating beauty. 'Broken Memory' is another fundamental parable in the Book of The Morita Law of Techno. The high priest reads the Proverbs, his chimes of trance hypnotize the crowds through an infinite vertigo of magnetizing dance rhythms. A serious effort for serious holiday celebrations."
