This is Sachiko M's first solo album since "Bar Sachiko" (Improvised Music from Japan, IMJ-517), released three and a half years ago. "Bar Sachiko" was a work made up exclusively of sustained sine wave tones. In contrast, "Salon de Sachiko" is comprised throughout of short, very thin…

Escape - The Futurescape
*350 copies limited edition* This journey begins with ominous drones. Long sustained signals. An eerie mewing that sounds like kittens lost in space. These sequences spin backwards and forwards set against a buzz of low frequency oscillations. Morphing first into flocks of swooping birds, before transforming into something more melodic. Symphonic. Tangerine Dream first mapped this void on Zeit. A Sci-Fi movie sample announces a slow, rolling rhythm. Its pulse eventually augmented by broken beats…

Axiom

Test pressings were released to the musicians, but they were not approved and the label never printed more than the two first copies. Tom Prehn's music, which is exclusively known from a 1967 release that was reissued on the Unheard Music Series, is not only impossibly uncommon, it is also exceptionally wonderful, featuring an extended tenor saxophone solo by Frits Krogh …

WBAI Concert, New York, Sept. 12th 1964
This CD highlights an exceptional document, a performance recorded by radio station WBAI in New York on September 12th, 1964. This event superbly represents the type of repertoire that Charlotte Moorman and Nam June Paik cultivated and proposed in the U.S., in the years following their meeting, in their memorable "duo" exhibitions. The program of the concert presented several true war-horses of their exhibitions like "26'1.1499 for a String Player" by John Cage, "Duet II" by Toshi Ichiyana…

Now!!
Now! by Masaru Imada was the second album released by the fledgling Three Blind Mice label and the pianist's first leader album for the label. All four tunes are Imada's original compositions. The two slow numbers – "Nostalgia" and "The Shadow of the Castle" show his lyrical, "quiet but emotional," qualities. "Alter" is an adventurous tune whose focus is on free improvisation while "Gehi Dorian" is a modal composition as the title suggests.
Ethio Jazz
The Ethio Jazz album by Mulatu Astatatke is a jewel of the modern Ethiopian music. Essential. An incredibly groovy Ethiopian record, originally from 1969-1972. Amazing orchestral 'Ethio-groove' filled with US soul, jazz, sometimes Latin and the deepest Eastern rhythms, even including some great nasty and dirty fuzz guitars. A true gem of Ethiopian modern instrumental music, which illustrates perfectly this symbiosis of strong rhythms and quality arrangements of subtle yet deep Ethiopian melodies…
