Teenage Rebel (7")
"Teenage Rebel" remains the anthem for every disaffected youth on the planet. Not included on The Avengers' infamous Pink album, this song is a two-minute package of pure adolescent vitriol. Backed with "Friends of Mine," a declaration of solidarity for the punks of San Francisco. Recorded in 1978 at the famed Iguana Studios on Folsom Street.
Sara's Tune / A Tune For Lucy
* 250 copies * What a classic pair! "Sara's Tune" and "Tune For Lucy" were both commissioned as holding cues for the BBC's Schools And Colleges Broadcasts from the mid 1970s to the 1980s. Anyone in the UK who sat in front of a TV at school waiting for their 30 minute educational show about childbirth or maths would have sat through this music while the BBC "Diamond" pattern ate itself before the actual educational show started. "Sara" was used for junior schools broadcasts, "Lucy" for Senior sch…

Marker

One cannot think of a better example of true artistry than the works of Kaily Moon Schenker & Nick Keeling. Two artists that continually strive for the most sincere, deepest explorations of sound and human expr…

Denizaltı Rüzgarları / Dokuz Sekiz
Percussionist and composer Okay Temiz scored two underground hits in his native Turkey with “Denizaltı Rüzgarları” (translation: “Submarine Winds”) and Dokuz Sekiz. The songs are slinky, eerie funk/psych/jazz hybrid that marries Temiz‘ impeccable chops as a percussionist to a lute-like Turkish saz and some truly otherworldly sounding Moog riffing. They're both purely instrumental and almost appear to borrow elements from Brazilian music and in particular Tropicalia, though the melody is clearly …

Trois Mémoires Discrètes
*300 copies * 'Another fantastic Af Ursin release. Af Ursin is Timo van Luijk’s solo project. The first piece, Sylphide, is a side-long wonder. Long drawn out brass tones with some other accompaniment. I could listen to this music all day. The closest parallel I can think of is Davide Mosconi’s divine LP of foghorn recordings. But Sylphide has a bit more of a musical element. This will be my go-to last side of the night for my (rare these days) late night Salons. The second side features two tra…
