New Releases for October 2007
Artist:
BUTCHER, JOHN
Title:
The Geometry of Sentiment
Label:
EMANEM (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$19.00
Catalog #:
EMANEM 4142CD
"John Butcher's latest collection of saxophone solos starts off in a Japanese cavern and ends up in a German gas holder (with even more echo). In between there are performances at 'normal' venues in London and Paris. A couple of tracks use amplification and feedback." Recorded 2004-2006.
Artist:
SHARP & CHARLOTTE HUG, ELLIOTT
Title:
pi:k
Label:
EMANEM (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$19.00
Catalog #:
EMANEM 4143CD
"Two musicians from very different backgrounds finding common ground. The first half consists of studio duets on guitar and viola recorded in New York City without any electronics, but they are not what one would expect from these two instruments. The second half is very different -- recorded in concert in Geneva with a liberal amount of electronics." Studio tracks recorded in NYC in 2004; live tracks recorded in Geneve, 2005.
Artist:
RUTHERFORD, PAUL
Title:
Solo In Berlin 1975
Label:
EMANEM (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$19.00
Catalog #:
EMANEM 4144CD
"Recorded a year after his acclaimed masterpiece,
The Gentle Harm of the Bourgeoisie
, these three festival sets are at least as good. They find Rutherford at his most original and inventive, making wild music by enhancing his trombone with his voice, with mutes and other objects, as well as using his awesome speed and stunning range. No one else has made the trombone sound like this, before or since. 75 minutes. (5 minutes originally on an FMP sampler -- the rest is previously unissued)."
Artist:
MARZAN & ROGER SMITH, PASCAL
Title:
Two Spanish Guitars
Label:
EMANEM (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$19.00
Catalog #:
EMANEM 4145CD
"The meeting of two of the finest finger-picking guitarists around. Pascal Marzan has come from Paris to London several times and recorded duets with Roger Smith, resulting in great music that ranges from the hyper-frantic to the laid-back pastoral. This CD should help give both guitarists the reputations they deserve."
ENVIRON
Artist:
BABY OLIVER
Title:
Feelings 2/Shot Caller
Label:
ENVIRON
Format:
12"
Price:
$7.50
Catalog #:
ENV 029EP
"Check out the new record from new Environ act, Baby Oliver! More hot and twisted tracks for disco jackers and neurotic nu-romantics... you don't want to miss it. Baby Oliver's debut 'Primetime/Hypochondriac' was an underground smash hit, gaining notoriety in sets by the finest DJs from disco (Metro Area, Prins Thomas) to house/techno (praise from Carl Craig) and indie floors (Junior Boys, Optimo). And it's no wonder: like the best club music, Baby Oliver's jams slice across genre divides and sound like nothing else coming out! Like any music that makes one feel uncomfortable with its unfamiliarity, it was universally despised by teen clones on venues like iTunes while trendmaking DJs licensed it for their mix CDs (LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy among them). Baby Oliver's new jams expand on the territory he pioneered on his debut. 'Feelings 2' sounds like an out-take from Prince on the day he forgot to take his meds, with the result cut and sliced by Ron Hardy and served up by the Hot Mix 5 on WMBX. The B-side is a slow-building, dark epic called 'Shot Caller' that juxtaposes the sounds of gunshots with the famous Linn Drum rim shot sound in a wry sonic pun. Sprinkled with vocal garnishes rendered from memories of Depeche Mode and Art of Noise, 'Shot Caller' is sure to drive your dancefloors wild."
ERSTWHILE
Artist:
R/S (PETER REHBERG/MARCUS SCHMICKLER)
Title:
One (Snow Mud Rain)
Label:
ERSTWHILE
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.50
Catalog #:
ERST 051CD
"Peter Rehberg (computer); Marcus Schmickler (digital synthesizer, computer). Peter Rehberg (Pita) and Marcus Schmickler have been two of the leaders in the electronic revolution of the last fifteen years, both on their own and in collaboration with others.
One (Snow Mud Rain)
is the first duo CD from these two long-time friends and associates. Rehberg and Schmickler met up in March 2007, in Schmickler's Piethopraxis studio in Cologne, for two days of recordings. Despite having barely worked together as a duo previously, the results were so successful that after two days, the record was basically completed. This is obvious when listening to the finished product, as a rawness and energy that hearkens back to the explosive power of early Mego bursts from the speakers, further enhanced by the remarkable density and clarity of the recording."

Title:

Label:
EVOLUTION/SYMBIOTIC (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
EVOSYM 001EP
"Originally released on the Evolution Sub label Symbiotic. Actually this is one of our personal favorites from the complete Evolution/Link/Reload/Global Communications catalogue. One of the more overlooked masterpieces in the whole I.D.M. scene (I hate that name). But a masterpiece in techno history. Mark Pritchard took things further where the original innovators from Detroit stopped. A perfect combination of beautiful and forward thinking music without forgetting about what brought all of us into this music: the excitement for beats that make you move! No need to say this is an essential collector's item (goes for top prices on eBay due to its very limited original release back in 1993). Played by Richie Hawtin, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Dave Clarke and many others!"
EVOLUTION/UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE (UK)
Artist:
MYSTIC INSTITUTE
Title:
Cyberdon (Reload Remixes)
Label:
EVOLUTION/UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
EVO 006EP
"This is another part in the relaunched Evolution/Universal Language catalog. These records have been a big influence for the whole techno generation and we are happy to present these new remastered re-issues. The Reload and Global Communications remixes of tracks originally released as Mystic Institute. Some amazing productions by Mark Pritchard and Tom Middleton which sounds still as fresh and exciting as almost 15 years ago (Man do I feel old! It feels like yesterday that I bought these records!). Especially the Global Communication 'Ob-selon Minos' is such an amazing piece of music! Smooth melodies with incredibly beautiful sounds really seduce the listener to go thru the whole 15 minutes long, and even that seems like 3 minutes when they are over. Absolutely essential music for everyone who owns a record by Aphex Twin, Autechre, Jedi Knights, Gescom, Boards Of Canada etc."

Title:
Missing You
Label:
FALLOUT (UK)

Catalog #:
FO 2062CD
This long-awaited CD combines two of
Ananda Shankar
's brilliant and very rare albums,
Missing You
(1977) and
A Musical Discovery Of India
(1978). Shankar is now firmly established as a pioneer of sitar funk, fusing the musical traditions of his homeland with a solid rock and roll influence -- but he also worked in the classical idiom, as the elegiac
Missing You
(dedicated to his late father) demonstrates.
A Musical Discovery
, meanwhile, boasts tracks ranging from the mellow "Namaskar" to the break-laden "Kaziranga Beat" and haunting "Dawn At Varanasi." Originally released in India only, both these releases make their long-awaited CD debut here, complete with detailed biographical liner notes.
