I'll Never, Never Die: Southern Gospel Boogie, 1948-55
DINTE presents a collection of southern gospel sides from late 1940s to mid 1950s capturing the post-WWII departure from rural folk & shape-note singing traditions that had previously defined the music, to quartets and vocal harmony groups embracing of driving, uptempo boogie-woogie rhythms and spirituals borrowed from the black church. Meticulously transferred and restored from the original 78 RPM and transcription discs by collector James Zurek.
Trios
Martin Pyne’s new release, the double album Trios, focuses on his unique approach to the vibraphone. The album places his playing in the context of two contrasting trio lineups. In Vampire Coast Trio Martin is joined by one of his favourite drummers, Johnny Hunter, along with the extraordinary double bass player Michael Bardon. Together they make music with a truly transparent texture, full of both space and sonic detail together with richly lyrical melody and counterpoint. Martin says, “Michael…
Mediterranean Music-Water
**Edition of 350 copies, 16 page book. Previously unreleased! ** Less than a decade ago, the legacy of the Danish multi-disciplinary artist and composer, Henning Christiansen (1932 - 2008), had fallen into obscurity and remained almost entirely out of view. Outside of a small but dedicated following of sound-art fans and scholars, he ranked among the most obscure figures in experimantal music. Thankfully, over the years since, due to the devotion of a small number of labels, his work, in the for…

Music For The Ritual Desecration Of Corpses
*200 copies limited release* Tip! The early collaboration between Maso Yamazaki (aka Masonna) and Rudolf Eb.er (aka Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck) was based on the exchange of tape recordings and ideas by mail; they were guided more by a shared sensibility regarding extreme music and art than by a similar musical style. The first result of this cooperation was released in 1995 on Eb.er’s own Swiss label, Schimpfluch, as a cassette titled “Clitoris Projectile Pump Action”. In 1998, they performed as …
Sotto Le Nuvole
In Gianfranco Rosi’s portrait of Naples, Sotto le Nuvole (Pompei: Below The Clouds), the ground shakes periodically. Between Mount Vesuvius and theTyrrhenian Sea, the fumaroles of the Phlegraean Fields hiss volcanic gas and steam. Below the sleeping volcano, modern day Naples emerges in black and white and fills with voices, with lives. From the traces of history and the concerns of the present, Rosi documents a city immersed in its continuous past, with Daniel Blumberg’s minimal soundscape hove…
For The Raven
*300 copies limited edition* For the Raven was due to be the next release after Ligeliahorn on the Nekrophile Rekords label. Sadly the project fell through and, even more sadly, it coincided with a number of the celebrants being rounded up to enjoy a short holiday at Her Majesty's Pleasure, expense and, indeed, insistence. By the time our intrepid Disciples Of Doom re emerged the momentum had been lost and For the Raven was consigned to the Metgumbnervaults to, until recently, only make an occas…

Il diavolo nel cervello
Beat Records returns with a new CD edition of Ennio Morricone's score for Il diavolo nel cervello, the 1972 psychological thriller directed by Sergio Sollima. Long absent from Italian shelves, this is a rare excursion into giallo territory for a director better known for westerns and crime pictures, and it drew from Morricone one of his most fully realised scores for the genre - a lyrical main theme carried by the voice of Edda Dell'Orso, set against dissonant string writing and passages of real…

Romance
The Portuguese percussionist turns drums and cymbals into generative sources: seven tracks of spectral tones, sub-bass rumble and warbly VHS tones, shaped by electronic manipulation and by the chromatic dissonance of Carlo Gesualdo.
