Dé-Coll/Age Musik
Awesome reissue of the vinyl-lp originally released 1983 by Multhipla (Cramps) and focused on his de-collage tecnique: much of Wolf Vostell's work deals with the idea of de-collage just as it sounds, rendering the whole into parts. He put this into practice with video and with sound, with his sound contributions being of interest here. Real-life events, dialogues, and existing recorded materials are spliced apart, ragged at the ends. From liner notes: "Some years ago I asked Giuseppe Chiari 'Wha…

Karl played duo with the gre…
Innerconnection
Unreleased session from 1975. "Trumpeter Ted Daniel's Energy Module was a short-lived band. They played exactly two gigs in the course of one week in the fall of 1975-and never played again. They gelled quickly as a quintet, however, in large part because everyone knew each other from working in Daniel's big band, Energy. However, the Energy Module was a less formal affair than the large ensemble, in which they played Daniel's original compositions and arrangements. "We had a couple of re…

Aubrite
Thomas Köner is one of the most influential modernist minimal composers. His music is often defined as dark ambient or drone, because of the use of low frequencies, material from gongs,shadowy resonances and boreal ambience, but at the same time its sound with constant fluctuation and vulnerability of sonic events, what makes it organic, human and almost comforting. Köners soundscapes are no longer simply dark, the question now is that of a profound blackness. Such is the generic darkness of the…

20 Jazz Funk Greats
**Double CD. Remastered edition of Throbbing Gristle's best known and most suavely subversive LP, the one that completely re-defined the meaning of industrial music. ** Originally released in 1979, 20 Jazz Funk Greats is Throbbing Gristle's pop-influenced masterwork. It's hard to believe the beautiful, conventionally-attractive Cosey Fanni Tutti on this album's front cover previously gave herself milk and blood enemas in front of a live audience. Additionally, the song "Hot On The Heels Of Love"…
Part Two - The Endless Not / TG Now
A quarter-century after hanging up its synthesizers, the curtain goes up on this pioneering industrial/noise group's second act.
Heathen Earth
** 2CD card pack with 8 page booklet** A live document of a performance by TG to a small and invited audience on 16 February 1980. Neither an insight into TG’s recording process nor private live show, Heathen Earth is it’s own entity and exists as a document and testament to a group of people at the height of their creative powers, recorded just over a year before they disbanded and terminated the mission. Live performance brought out Throbbing Gristle's talents for improvisation and provocation…

Free Reservoir
'An exciting and forceful album of free jazz from the trio of pianist Simon Nabatov, bassist Max Johnson and drummer Michael Sarin, recording in the studio in New York City with each player propelling themselves in dynamic, inventive collective free playing with an experimental bent, but never departing from the traditions of identifiable jazz music; recommended!
"While Nabatov and Sarin met over 30 years ago (as participants of the famous Banff Jazz Workshop), the Johnson-Nabatov connection clo…
