Another Green World
Another Green World is where Brian Eno creeps up behind me, and whispers how all pop music is about art, how all art is about life, and life is really a vessel for pop music. Where I forget what is a song and what is not a song, and where Eno realizes you can create something at once high art, low art, and not art at all. Most importantly, Eno discovers there is more beauty and worth in the discreet nuances of subtle sophistication than in all the blunted bluster in the world.

Airs
*2022 repress. Limited edition of 600 copies.* Over the 23 years since Loren Connors’ Airs was first published, it has drawn a thick circle of fans. Gently recorded to cassette tape in 1999, (with wonderfully subtle multi-tracking), Airs is comprised of a series of brief electronic guitar poems.

Lyrical melodies recur in different forms throughout the LP, as shifting figures in a dream…
Alterations Live
*In process of stocking. 2022 stock* "Alterations on record is a bit like listening to the soundtrack to a movie without the picture show. Essential to their 'performance' was the aspect that making music can be both visually & musically entertaining; which hints at the notion of entertainment as a valid musical form - and suggests that 'High Art' can be born from "playing for laughs" - (which the Alterations perfected to such a fine art as to become 'flavour of the month' for a year or two).

White Island

Now for the very outstanding music that as mentiond above is based on centuries old folk tune…

Dry Lungs
Tip! Maranata are the duo of Dag Stiberg and Jon Wesseltoft. Blending harsh electronics and saxophone into an ear-melting noise assault, they have been a fixture of Oslo, Norway's underground scene for decades, often collaborating with Lasse Marhaug. On Dry Lungs Maranata will satisfy the most masochistic of listeners. Comparisons could be made to Borbetomagus or Wasteland Jazz Unit, but Maranata is very much its own thing. The electronics are far more prominent, and interact perfectly with the …
Harmonies from Betelgeuse
*Limited edition of 100 copies.* Mexican sound artist Concepción Huerta is also a skilled photographer and video artist, and all of these aptitudes come together in the kinematic elements of her musical thesis. Her narrative seems to be an uninterrupted communication with movement as an axis: it pauses and falls with cadence at some moments; it agitates in disturbance at some others. But one movement perpetually crosses the other, even if sometimes imperceptibly.
Her sound work evokes displaceme…
