Erratum #3, Revue Sonore / Sound Review
This lengthy compilation offers up a mixed bag of the fascinating and the wearisome. Peak bits of said fascination here would have to be Gregory Whitehead, Gilles Richard and the duo of Patrick Muller and Jean-Francois Bory, who all offer up wonderfully sick vocal based surrealist audio malformations. Elsewhere, Zbigniew Kakowski dishes up nerve janging sinewaves and distorted field recordings while Dinsinformation and Charlemagne Palestine both maddeningly revel in stasis, with unwavering low-e…

Amir + Varech (2LP Bundle)
** The two recent Henri Texier reissue LPs in a special discounted bundle **
Henri Texier "Amir" (LP) For years Amir, Henri Texier’s debut solo LP, stood slightly in the shadow of its follow-up, Varech, but is equal and towers in every possible way. There is no other record like it on earth - stunning from start to its final turn. In our view, it’s one of the greatest artefacts of the 1970s France scene, and that’s no small thing!
Deceptively minimal and elegant, Amir is the first time the …

Gruen
LP version on 180 gram vinyl. Conrad Schnitzler's green album (aka Grün), originally released in 1981 on Edition Block. "Schnitzler's tracks in the 1970s were lengthy and shared a musical pattern which varied only minimally. Hence the green album has just one track on each side and any changes in melodic structure are subtle in nature. Both pieces are very much typical of Schnitzler in style, but less so tonally. An analog rhythm machine ploughs almost brutally through the astoundingly del…
