New Releases for February 2008


Artist: LIGHTMAN, AARON
Title: Aaron Lightman
Label: FALLOUT (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: FO 2079CD
Little is known of this quirky Philadelphia singer/songwriter, whose delicate vocals and catchy songwriting have earned him comparisons with Donovan and the Bee Gees and won him a considerable cult reputation. This unusual album, which blends melodic folk-pop with extravagant orchestral interludes, first appeared in 1969 and makes its long-overdue CD debut here.


Artist: DAUGHTERS OF ALBION
Title: Daughters of Albion
Label: FALLOUT (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: FO 2081CD
The Californian duo of Greg Dempsey and Kathy Yesse combined their talents with those of producer Leon Russell and musicians including legendary guitarist Jesse Ed Davis and long-term Eric Clapton sideman Carl Radle to create this stunningly original psych-pop classic in 1968. Combining knockout hooks with gorgeous female vocals and truly unexpected studio tricks, it was perhaps too bizarre to connect with the mass audience it deserved the first time around, and makes its long-overdue CD debut here.


Artist: HOLY MOSES
Title: Holy Moses
Label: FALLOUT (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: FO 2082CD
Though short-lived, the Woodstock-based Holy Moses came up with one of the psychedelic era's most enduring hard rock one-offs, packed with strong songs and blazing guitar parts by Ted Spelios, whose playing is said to have stunned the young Bruce Springsteen. Produced by Kim King (of Lothar and the Hand People) and Mike Esposito (of the Blues Magoos), and recorded at New York's legendary Electric Lady studio (built by Jimi Hendrix), it quickly vanished upon release in 1971, though its cult reputation has never stopped growing.

FARAWAY PRESS (UK)


Artist: GHOSTS ON WATER
Title: Senshu
Label: FARAWAY PRESS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $30.00
Catalog #: FARA 004CD
"Faraway Press reissues the early FP release that was a tiny book & CD-R, this time in a gatefold sleeve that compliments the original aesthetic. Remastered CD of three tracks: 'Ukigiri,' 'Koyurugi' & 'Untan' all played by Daisuke & Naoko Suzuki, Andrew Chalk. The first 250 copies will be in a gatefold sleeve."


Artist: CHALK & DAISUKE SUZUKI, ANDREW
Title: The Days After
Label: FARAWAY PRESS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $26.00
Catalog #: FARA 011CD
"Originally released in 2003 as a limited CD-R. It is now back in print as a pressed CD with facsimile sleeve of the original artwork in a mini LP style jacket as previous Faraway Press releases and new insert.

Artist: CHALK, ANDREW
Title: Time of Hayfield
Label: FARAWAY PRESS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $27.00
Catalog #: FARA 013CD
"A new release of material from 2005 which was recorded around the same time as was Goldfall, eight tracks with Vikki playing electric piano once more on the final piece. Time of Hayfield has some different covers that are variations on a theme of yesterday's landscapes; otherwise the albums are all identical, of course."

FEAR OF FLYING (UK)


Artist: DADABLEEP
Title: Remixes
Label: FEAR OF FLYING (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: FOF 007EP
"Linking the original tracks from German duo DadaBleep on our sister label Fear of Flying Ltd as much as we did, we thought it'd be just supa' to get some deeper re-rubs on our main label. SO BEHOLD! Connassieur superstars Plasmik take Ghipwe on an epic journey complete with warm pads and an old skool sounding high string line. We like MUCHLY! Next up, we enlisted the help of one the hardest working producers around at the moment, Andomatt 3000. He injects a great big dose of fun into his take on 'Ghipwe' -- bouncy, groovy and almost techno like -- what parts of the original does he use? We didn't ask but who really cares when the beats are this good, eh? We called upon the emerging talents of our very own Tim Gregor next for a rmx of 'Enter the Echo,' taking a more traditional tech-house route with a subtle vibe that just grooves along on its deep deep bass. We're confident you lot are gonna be hearing Tim crop up quite a lot next year, following in the footsteps of his better known brother, Mark Henning."

FINDERS KEEPERS (UK)


Artist: VA
Title: B-Music: Cross Continental Record Raid Road Trip
Label: FINDERS KEEPERS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $21.00
Catalog #: FKR 008CD
2006 release, available now. "B-Music is an independent collective of DJs, musicians and music lovers dedicated to the obsessive and painstaking perusal of obscure, obsolete, exquisitely obnoxious, unbelievable, underexposed and undeniably delectable discs of experimental pop music from the psyched-out '60s and '70s. B-Music.co.uk provides a pocket library for discerning aficionados of fascinating rhythms from six times around the globe -- unifying record collectors, beat diggers, fanatics of the avant-garde and trash-merchants alike. Centred around the Mancunian eponymous travelling club and bar and along with twin record labels Finders Keepers and Delay 68, B-Music represents a passionate, un-blinkered approach to the culmination of way-out sounds encompassing all elements of off-kilter counter-culture: psych prog space rock ye-ye Euro beat folk funk jazz and whacked out movie musak, as well as cherry pickings of bugged-out cinema, design and literature in token doses. This is the first-ever B-Music compilation featuring undiscovered classics compiled by Andy Votel (Twisted Nerve), Dom Thomas, David Holmes, Gruff Rhys (SFA), Jerry Dammers (The Specials), Jazzman Gerald, Cherrystones, Doug Shipton, Ben Hatton, Chris McBride (45 Kings/Fat City), Chris 'The Judge' Arthur and Bob Stanley (St. Etiennce) scoured from all over the world over 100+ years of crate digging!"

FIRM (GERMANY)


Artist: CLARK, ERIC D.
Title: E=dc2
Label: FIRM (GERMANY)
Format: 2LP
Price: $20.00
Catalog #: FIRM 025LP
Double vinyl version. "Eric D. Clark has been DJing dance music for the past 26 years. His Whirlpool Productions success with From: Disco to: Disco has established his reputation worldwide. Eric completed his album a few months ago -- he's just been waiting for the right label with the right guys behind it: Firm. With several 12" releases appearing at the same time on different labels (incl. Firm, Pale Music) his album has 14 new tracks, produced by Eric working on his own, or collaborating with Tyree Cooper (The Producer!) or with his brother. Most LPs are recorded in one particular sound studio. Not so with Eric D. Clark. He's at home 'in the SUBCURRENT' with his mobile studio, in various locations around the globe, from Kiev to L.A., and at various times, between gigs and after hours. In fact, when or wherever the muse caresses him. Thanks to numerous collaborations with a wide range of artists (incl. Angie Reed, Lady Miss Kier, Sex in Dallas) his horizons extend well beyond techno and dancefloor. These special influences together with his spontaneous approach to production mean that this album isn't always easy listening, but it is certainly a unique, assured and inspirational fare."

FIRST CASK (BELGIUM)


Artist: ED DMX/ASYLUM SEEKERS
Title: Hardcore House EP
Label: FIRST CASK (BELGIUM)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: FSK 013EP
Ed DMX-produced tracks, reminiscent of UK hardcore/oldschool house and techno tracks. Housed in a gaudy-as-you-like bright yellow sleeve, this is something for those wanting a bit of nostalgia.

FOUR:TWENTY (UK)


Artist: SOLOMUN
Title: Beauty & The Beast
Label: FOUR:TWENTY (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $11.50
Catalog #: FOUR 037EP
"Four:Twenty present another landmark release that displays this imprint's uncanny ability to back a winner every time. This particular winner is none other than Solomun, who has served up his finest work yet in three outstanding tracks for the UK-based imprint. Lead cut 'Deadman' is an anthem of a track in a time when anthems are few and far between. Rising, Detroit keys layer up with rich strings atop a warm, organic drum track creating a fluid deep houser which is head and shoulders above the crowd."

FREAK N' CHIC (FRANCE)


Artist: GHENACIA, DAN
Title: Garden
Label: FREAK N' CHIC (FRANCE)
Format: 12"
Price: $11.00
Catalog #: FNC 025EP
This is the first-ever solo EP release from label-head Dan Ghenacia and also the 25th release for Freak N' Chic. "Garden" plays a sinister hi-end above an ever-rolling dubbed groove that never stops pushing forward. "Cycles" brings deeper, dubbier vibes to the foreground; ominous synths weave throughout while the bass rolls and the added squelch detail keeps you moving. Late night flavors.


Artist: DYED SOUNDOROM
Title: Question/Infection
Label: FREAK N' CHIC (FRANCE)
Format: 12"
Price: $11.00
Catalog #: FNC 026EP
This is the premier release from long-time Freak 'n' Chic DJ collaborator, Dyed Soundorom. "Question" lays down a dubby slow-moving groove -- let the pace take you up and bring you down to the deep-grooved finish. "Infection" instantly creates a deep and dubby late-night vibe that holds back the pace and keeps the funk grooving.
