Water Buffalo
"Uli Rois’ Bird People celestial meditations on the recurring image of the water buffalo in eastern mythology.

Abstract guitars and electronics drowning in tanpura drones". (Sloow tapes) "New tape from Uli Rois’ (Feathered Coyote Records et al) solo/communal psych/drone unit: here Rois uses guitar, ele…

154
LP version. "1979's 154 represented the final tableau in Wire's Harvest
released '70s triptych and was the first Wire album to be released to a
universal set of five star reviews from the British rock weeklies, thus
it represented the point when the British 'pop culture establishment'
publicly recognized Wire's primacy. '154 makes 95 percent of the competition look feeble' wrote Nick Kent in the NME, 'Wire are achieving a lot of things other--and more recognized--names have been striving fo…
Chairs Missing
Presented as an 80-page hardback book -- the size of a 7-inch, but obviously much thicker. If Pink Flag proposed an almost cut and paste approach to deconstructing rock history, the Wire's Chairs Missing proposed something more radical, a definite futurism with much less influence from its antecedents. Chairs Missingwas at once more stark and more lush than its predecessor and has exerted its own influence on the course of cultural history, having laid down one of the earliest (if not the earlie…

At the time, the band only owned a few instruments and sound effects and, no drummer. They used to play long tracks in order …
Homotopy To Marie
**Silver & black and silver & white vinyl edition of 300** 'Homotopy To Marie' is the fifth album by Nurse With Wound, originally released on United Dairies in 1982. The album is a step on from the Dadaist rock of 'Merzbild Schwet', with much use of tape manipulation and classical avant-garde techniques, using keywords including unsettling, volatile, eerie and nocturnal to describe the feel of the album which combined tape edits with resonating gong tones and disembodied children's voices to cre…
