K-Space: Infinity Code:7606 Price:
$15.95

|
COMPUTER ONLY DISC (PC or MAC) that re-composes all musical parameters when loaded + 4 Quicktime movies + full-color photo album
A new, revolutionary album which is different every time you play it has been created by Tim Hodgkinson, Ken Hyder and Gendos Chamzyryn. At a time when the music industry is making a dramatic shift from CDs to downloads, K-Space's Infinity presents a different option. First of all, this disk plays on a computer, not a CD player. And this is a whole piece of work - you can't download tracks from it. In fact the disk contains software that performs the 'pieces' on the album differently every time you play them. These performances are in no way random and this has nothing to do with shuffle-culture. The software is specially programmed to make choices from the available material. Furthermore you can't pause or fast-forward this album: the music is indivisible, and you can only turn it on or turn it off. In fact everything that happens is there to create a special listening experience... The sensation for the listener is of being in one space which encompasses different locations and different moments in time. And each space is different each time the piece is played. On the same disc, there's also 4 videos of the band, and a full-color photo album. Faust's Jean-Hervé Peron says: "Great great piece of work on the musical/spiritual level as well as this very ingenuous technological twist: you buy one cd and you get x-times the length of always good music ! A genius strike ! And magic...... it is always new.. I was UP UP AND AWAY !!"

Kalahari Surfers: The 80'S / Volume 2 Code:5111 Price:
$13.95
Quantity in Basket: none
|
ReR released the first installment some years back; Here then (finally) is the remainder, aptly called, Volume 2. This disc completes the digital collection of songs from "BIGGER THAN JESUS" (named after the famous, John Lennon indiscretion) and its predecessor, "SLEEP ARMED". Since these are the 2 best Surfers records, this one's a no-brainer. Already a classic.

Kodjabashia, Nikola: Explosion of a Memory Code:7769 Price:
$15.95
Quantity in Basket: none
|
Performed by the Macedonian Symphony Orchestra with Balkan electro legend Kiril Dzajkovski, Chris Cutler (percussion), Nikola Kodjbashia (prepared piano), Patric Driver and Valere Novarina (readers). Text fragments are by Heiner Muller and Valere Novarina. A four-dimensional explosion in which stretches of Baroque, folk themes and Byzantine liturgy exist contemporaneously with modern and post-modern materials - much as strata emerge where tectonic plates fold one time over another - settling eventually into long, beautiful, tonal stretches, lighter than air, that drift and attenuate to reveal, dreamily, the old simplicities. Immersive, timeless and unmistakably new, this music respects but definitively breaks with existing schools to explore instead its own geographically unique influences and contradictions. 'Explosion of a Memory' is a homage to my literary heroes: James Joyce, Heiner Muller, Valere Novarina, William Gibson, Euripides and Colin Teevan; it's also a deeply personal epic about the complex relationship between childhood myths, history and perpetual homecoming'. NK it."

MCCB (Mass Culture Control Bureau...): ...Things From The Past Code:5341 Price:
$15.95
Quantity in Basket: none
|
This disk compiles the entire back catalog and previously unreleased recordings of the combined Dutch/English underground label, MCCB (1978-82), and marks the first time any of these works have been issued on compact disk. Great efforts were made to locate, restore & re-master the original tapes, and the entire process was personally overseen by MCCB's chief, the legendary musician/singer Geoff Leigh. Under the auspices of The Black Sheep, Kontakt Mikrophoon Orchestra and Red Balune, Geoff is joined by long-time affiliates Loek VanSaus, Colin McLure and Kathy Williams. This is "pop" music gone terribly right for a change, where imagery supersedes fashion, and sound knows no rules. Features cameo appearances by members of Henry Cow: Fred Frith, Tim Hodgkinson and Chris Cutler.

MacLean, Steve Ensemble: The Opposite of War Code:881 Price:
$15.95
Quantity in Basket: none
|
An interesting and innovative ensemble (keyboard, bass, drums, guitar) with a chamber approach. Nothing aggressive or flashy, no electronics or noise, but carefully composed, cleanly performed pieces which play with complexity concealed inside simplicity. Outwardly simple and engaging, it holds attention through ingenious use of overlain time relations, additive rhythms and metric shifts. Subtle but very strong. Recommended.

MacLean, Steve: Bridges Code:7466 Price:
$16.95
Quantity in Basket: none
|
These recordings collect together works spanning two decades of composition and experimentation that balance traditional musical resources (the band, compositional skills, instrumental techniques, acoustic and amplified instruments) and the new technologies (computers, software, processing). The first CD showcases polyrhythmic, careful compositions (like those on his last ReR CD, Opposite of War), which still no-one has tried to emulate. The second is more meditative, abstract and electronic, moving from Kora through electric and acoustic guitars - with and without radical effects processing - to piano and virtual orchestra, putting various softwares through their paces.

MacLean, Steve: Expressions on Piano Code:7770 Price:
$15.95
Quantity in Basket: none
|
A remarkable set of pieces for mediated acoustic piano that operates in the shadowy territory between what is playable and what is programmable; between narrative simplicity and performative complexity; between hopeful intetionality and flawless execution.. Unusually, Steve has put our ear right inside the piano, sans artificialreverberations and blurring tools and, over the course of the CD, various musical dialects are explored and extended - from the plausible, through the exquisite, to the impossible.

Careful compositions converse with focused improvisations under the precise direction of Steve MacLean who, on this CD, after various excursions that took him through experimental works for piano, interactive insect/guitar compositions and pure electronics, returns to a performing band and a journey through complex polyrhythmic compositions imaginatively intercut with careful, atmospheric inventions, for guitar, bass, keyboard, percussion and various objects.

Mir: Shock Your Money Maker Code:7809 Price:
$16.95
Quantity in Basket: none
|
Mir, a final bastion of noise, has been working hard throughout Europe since their inception in 2005. Stylistically, they work in the sonic worlds somewhere between the primordial oozings of Industrial Rock, No Wave, Japan Noise, Anarchic Grind and Drone. This live album was recorded in Basel, Switzerland, and then produced and mixed by Alex Buess (God, Ice), who got some fairly strange press opinions from the pre-release demos he sent: "Perfect dance music for Klingons"..."Experiments in terror"...."Like a road trip through a Napalm ravaged tea plantation"... While such hyperbole is usually associated with conceptual over- indulgence and is mostly unjust, in the case of "Shock Your Money Maker" this simply does not ring true. The road that this band has embarked upon is truly unique and bizarre because, against all odds, it manages somehow to re-asses the term, "experimental".

Moore, R. Stevie: Phonography Code:7711 Price:
$15.95
Quantity in Basket: none
|
"Phonography was Stevie's first LP release, and an out-of-the-blue masterpiece: terminally idiosyncratic but with all the compositional qualities of great pop. A gifted songwriter, R Stevie (son of Bob Moore, Elvis' bassist) grew up and was steeped in Nashville's countrypolitanism; but, as a recidivist rebel, he inevitably slipped into strange byways, following his own, unique path into celebrated obscurity - as this strange and compelling record attests. Hans Arp said, 'My paintings are like fingernails: they keep growing and I keep cutting them off'. R Stevie's songs seem to follow the same rule. They create worlds, tell stories, trifle wantonly with form, harmony, structure and execution, and throw off passages of casual brilliance on the way. Lo-fi is integral to its purpose. You can't pay to get a sound like that. So, when nobody seemed to want to keep Phonography in print, ReR Megacorp were happy to oblige - it's history. We took the opportunity to re-master and restore it to its original form."

N.I.M.B.Y.: Songs For Adults Code:5336 Price:
$15.95
Quantity in Basket: none

James Grigsby – Bob Drake – Jerry Wheeler – Dave Kerman "Not In My Backyard" (NIMBY)is James Grigsby (of the legendary Motor Totemist Guild) and left-field luminaries from Thinking Plague, Hail, The 5UUs and Giant Ant Farm. The official story is that an electrical storm temporarily deranged their faculties while leaving their musical abilities unaffected, leading to this unaccountable recording, made more or less live in a barn in Southern France, with only a handful of overdubs (mostly vocals & some soloing) added by engineer and bassist Bob Drake at the mixing and mastering stage. Instead of making the cutting edge contemporary post rock record they planned, they wound up musically reverting to their youth while mentally indulging in the whiny frustrations of middle age. Could it be worse? Yes. This is not just an album of songs, it's a concept album and it documents what happens when a bunch of spoiled baby-boomers - mostly from Southern California - get old & grumpy.

Paolo Angeli: Sale Quanto Basta Code:7807 Price:

Welcome to Paulo's sixth release for ReR, an extraordinary collection of pieces that explore the full range of his highly modified, extended and prepared Sardinian guitar. And although it's just him and electricity, it seldom sounds like fewer than three people playing. There are twelve fine compositions, each as crafted as a short novel, and beautifully recorded. Paulo's is a music that pretty much defies genre or category; accessible, experimental, tuneful, tactile and ambient - with a folk root, a rock inflection and a contemporary outlook.

Pere Ubu: London * Texas Code:7710 Price:
$15.95
Quantity in Basket: none
|
A missing piece of the Ubu jigsaw, and a fine memento of a great band, London Texas is a satisfyingly hi-fi live recording of the sadly short-lived line-up that toured briefly between the arrival of Eric Drew Feldman and the departure of Chris Cutler. Certainly it's the best recording of the Scott, Cutler, Maimone rhythm section - though the whole band is on lean-back-intense concert form. Coming back to it, this was the end of a particular era, of a certain kind of band: the songs are economical and tightly arranged but harmonically elaborated - with strongly performative and musical underpinning (there's a new aesthetic in place now); it's an approach that takes no prisoners. Then there's the bonus of that scary live energy. Studio recordings just can't do this. London Texas stings like a bee - in a beret.

Pernot, Louis: Livre De Luth De Perrine (Lute Book, Circa 1680) Code:5339 Price:
$15.95
Quantity in Basket: none
|
Louis Pernot: Baroque Lute This is the first recording of the seventeenth-century masterpiece, "The Book of Perrine". It comprises some of the most beautiful pieces exclusively written for baroque lute by Ennemond Gaultier, professor to the Queen of France, and his equally notable cousin, Denis. Much of the score was lost until quite recently, and the French, master lutenist, Louis Peron, has worked tirelessly for the past decade to perfect its performance. The historical importance of this disc to the world of classical music cannot be overstated. (Really, I'm not worthy ! – Dave K.). Maestro Pernot, a Protestant Minister who holds PHD's in both philosophy and engineering, was the star pupil of master lutenist, Antoine Geoffrey-Dechaume. He is also a lerned scholar of theology, Hebrew and Ancient Greek. Prior to this recording, EMI Records chose him to be the lute master for their box set, "A Treasury of Bach", and he was the featured artist on Universal's recording of Gaultier's "Devine Rhetoric", another historic, first recording.

POX (not to be confused with the French pop group that bears the same name) is the long-standing project by CHRIS BLOCK, ex of Cheer Accident. A few years in the making, this recording goes well beyond the group's previous offerings, and will enthrall fans of C.A., Star Period Star, Flying Luttenbachers, Hail, Fortrangt Hushallsarbete, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, This Heat, Combat Astronomy etc. There's a lot of juicy, hard-hitting tunes here, and a great amount of variety in their approaches. A few guest musicians too, including four different drummers: Thymme Jones, Brad Schlueter, Jim Widlowski and Dave Kerman. This is a disk that takes pleasure in breaking many rules of "Rock" music, while somehow managing to be ultimately fun and listenable. Certain elements of instrumental harmony are just so "wrong", but that was the point; and hence they become idiomatic certainties by means of purposefully re-writing the musical language explored. Though self-produced, it doesn't sound DIY or cheap, and with these old hands at the helm....well, experience is speaking loudly here. Give it a shot, wontcha ? Think Ernest Borgnine; no Star Trek references, please.

Ratsimandresy, Nadia - Matteo Ramon Arevalos: Messiaen et autor de Messiaen Code:7699 Price:
$15.95
Quantity in Basket: none
|
A signature collection of exquisite works for onde Martinot and piano by Olivier Messiaen, N'Guyen Thien Dao, Jacques Charpentier and Tristan Murail, exploring the many voices of this extraordinary instrument. The onde (or ondes musicales or le Martenot) was first demonstrated at the Paris Conservatoire in 1928 and immediately attracted the attention of Varese, Milhaud, Koechlin, Jolivet, Honegger and Messiaen, who all wrote for it - cumulatively ensuring its survival. Although only a year younger than the theremin, the onde is a far more sophisticated, complex and versatile instrument, not least because of the combination it offers of pitched and glissando tones, and the wide range of filters and different resonating media through which it can sound: loudspeakers, gongs, sympathetic resonating strings and reverberant enclosures. The compositions here exploit every unearthly aspect of the instrument and are beautifully performed: a remarkable and exquisite collection.
