Makrophonie 1
The first album by Kontakt der Jünglinge since the release of their CD n (DS63) on Die Stadt back in 2003, Makrophonie 1 is also their very first studio album. ItÔs the result of various scores which were developed before and during miscellaneous live performances. These worked out structures were then taken to the studio, where they were concentrated and received their final finish. Makrophonie 1 can be described as KDJ music in highly-concentrated form. The album was recorded at Audiplex Studi…

Fabrication
The first collaboration by these two renowned sound artists. Fabrication saw its beginning during the production of Re-post-refabricated, a project in which artists were selected by Richard Chartier to rework/create new works from his 1998 CD Postfabricated for its reissue in 2003. As it was intended as an open project, Asmus Tietchens continued to explore the source materials and suggested further formal collaboration. This evolved into the collaborative work Fabrication. The CD comes in a full…
Easter Everywhere
1967 second studio album by the Texan pioneers of psychedelia. This ground-breaking album not only defined psychedelic rock but informed punk a decade later, and even the 90’s indie-dance music scene with Primal Scream’s cover of ‘Slip Inside This House’ on their classic Screamadelica LP
Originally issued in November 1967 - copies barely trickled out of Texas, making original pressings not only expensive but clean copies impossible to find even 50 years ago.Therefore, meticulous attention to det…
Tribal Dance
Los Angeles bass titan Henry Franklin is bestknown for the two Skipper LPs issued by Black Jazz in 1972-74; 1977’s Tribal Dance is more obscure and arguably the best of the bunch, the spiritual jazz given an extra propulsive dimension via the excesses of Sonship, banging complex rhythms on his elaborate self-made drums, as heard on the opening title track and the extended ‘Cosmos Dwellers.’ Elsewhere, ‘Eric’s Tune’ has flamenco undercurrents, ‘Spring Song’ is a slow piano meditation, and ‘Prime …

Coltrane's Sound
Complete rendition of the saxophonist’s famed divinely inspired suite was recorded at Seattle’s Penthouse in 1965. Despite being John Coltrane’s most celebrated album, and one of the most beloved jazz albums of all time, A Love Supreme wasn’t a record that the saxophonist touched on much in the live setting. Up until now, most Coltrane enthusiasts have only ever heard a single live performance of the literally divinely inspired four-movement suite that makes up the LP. That will change in Octobe…
New World
Nat Birchall returns with a new studio album with an expanded Unity Ensemble. Six original compositions played by a seven-piece group featuring the legendary UK tenor saxophonist, Alan Skidmore and guest percussionist Mark Wastell. Both musicians joined the group onstage at a John Coltrane tribute concert at London’s Café Oto last year, the resulting performance showing just how compatible all the musicians were, so Nat thought it would be propitious to record the group in the studio with their …
Subterraneanact
2012 release ** "Dutch duo’s one and only release, from 2012. And quite a good album too! Henk Bakker (bass clarinet and electronic treatments) and Jelmer Cnossen (percussion, Ableton Live) somehow created a subterrestrial sonorous organism with a logic of its own. "

Banana Moon
** Original 1971 BYG album. Digitally mastered from BYG tapes by Nick Robbins. 16-page booklet with photos & exclusive liner notes by author and journalist Kevin Le Gendre ** Debut solo album by the legendary purveyor of music that daringly blurred the boundary between psychedelic rock and raucous, riotous Dadaism.

Panzer Constellations
The music of Panzer Constellations was the result of a single occasion - by the invitation of After Action Review - to record a duo of soprano saxophones for the wonderful acoustics available at the former Heeresbekleidungsamt, Bernau - now an expansive abandoned building.
Skirting
Louie Rice and Luciano Maggiore work together as NO PA ON, performing score based works - both acoustic (without a PA system) and amplified (with a PA system). The duo was originally conceived to perform works by other artists as part of an event series at Cafe OTO in London. This series acted as a research period that went on to inform the action-based pieces that Rice and Maggiore are now writing themselves. These pieces explore physical actions and vocalisations in response to pre defined pro…

Rydberg

9th Chrysalis
2011 release ** "Behind the name Revglow hides a very Italian duo formed by the Friulian Francis M. Gri (of All My Faith Lost) and the Milanese singer Lilium. The collaboration has already produced the album Liquid Pearls in 2008 and an EP in 2011 that preceded the album 9th Chrysalis. The Revglow chrysalis hides nine delicate butterflies, ready to take flight. Nine pieces halfway between ambient and electroacoustic, soft, surreal. So simple and linear that they disorientate. A river of notes th…
Ade: Ein Stück Über Den Abschied
1988 release ** "In his musical theater piece "Ade," Harald Weiss combines elements of classical, folk, rock, and minimal music to create his signature style, which defies categorization. Solo and choral vocals, string quartet, piano, synthesizers, and percussion accompany the performance on the imaginary stage of the listener. The music leaves a feeling of emotion that can manifest itself as a lasting inner silence."
Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed
People believe that the magic of Muslimgauze works best with looong tracks. Think the same? Then "Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed" is exactly for you! 75 minutes of mellow eastern-style hypnotism. Consisting of only five parts, the album shows Bryn's ability to create lengthy and detailed compositions filled with Arabic percussion, droning keyboards, vocal samples and ethereal atmospheres. A strong rhythmic, yet melodic album, that should be in the collection of every Muslimgauze fan. Definitely one of Bry…
