Phonometak Series #2
The first chapter of this vinyl series opened with Zu duelling with Iceburn, the follow up is a face to face that puts Mats Gustafsson in front of Paolo Angeli. Talking about the swedish saxophonist (here he plays also alto fluteophone) what should I add you don't know already?...personally I've loved his combined effort together with “Rome's only” Zu (withTakemure more then ever in full blossoming), by the way what we have here is an acoustic improvised performance not so far from many releases…

Music of Idris Akamoor 1971-2004
RESTOCKED: 2-CD collection of the ex-leader of legendary Afro-spiritual/deep funk/free jazz group from 1970s Ohio (later in SF), The Pyramids. Their music is one of the most deep attempts by African-Americans, deep sounds like Strata-East, aggressive performances like Tribe or Black Jazz, every free jazz/funk collectors should agree on it. Featuring 10 pieces of The Pyramids taken from their 3 albums and unreleased (!) recordings (included first live recording in Holland!). Notably The Pyramids …
Tre pezzi per percussione
Wolfgang Schliemann's Tre Pezzi per Percussione (Three Pieces for Percussion) is subtitled "Spesso Usate in Maniera non Convenzionale": often used in not conventional ways. Most of the time, Schliemann's approach is closer to sound art than, say, jazz or contemporary classical. This German CD contains three pieces, all improvised, all solo percussion. In "Presque Vu (En Suite)" ("Almost Seen [In a Suite]"), sparse sound events unfold through nine parts over a total of 44 minutes. Most sounds can…
Cocaine Death
Cocaine Death is a compilation of three of Prurient's finest Hospital cassette releases as well as two unreleased tracks. The previously released material forms a triptych exploring the relationship between futile pleasure, substance and escape; escape being a myth. Cocaine Death (originally C-10 packaged in an envelope, limited to 46 copies) is perhaps the most sought after of the recent Prurient cassettes. The content is based on the glamour and destruction of toxic nightlife. The B-side featu…

Steel Night 29.11.01
"As a surprise on the night, and impressed with the line-up, Douglas P of DEATH IN JUNE approached and asked if he could open the show with an acoustic set. All four acts were digitally recorded by Stephen Meixner (CONTRASTATE). For this set, each CD is packaged in its own card wallet, in its own camouflage, inside a shrinkwrapped `clamshell` style box. The set is made complete with a foldout poster of images all the bands that played this STEEL NIGHT."Limited edition four-disc box set of…

Merzbient
RESTOCKED: The old adage "nothing exceeds like excess" is inversely defined in Merzbow's latest exploit, a beguiling, gargantuan and limited (to 555 hand-numbered copies) 12 x CD boxset of "quieter" material, housed in hardcover box with red foil block print, featuring sounds recorded between 1987 and 1990 and accompanied by a die-cast metal medallion enscribed with the word 'dōbutsukaihō' meaning 'Animal Liberation' in Japanese. When Masami Akita (Merzbow) started touring internationally …
Stations Of The Cross
Ltd ed of 500 copies, first edition "New release from baroque conceptualist and improviser, Josef Van Wissem, who, for more than a decade, has been quietly but surely reinventing the vocabulary of that most unlikely of instruments, the lute. With the exception of the odd Renaissance preservationist context, the lute, which was once the most popular portable instrument in the Western world, has all but disappeared from our musical landscape. Despite the arcane associations of his chosen ins…
All My Life (I Love You)
Two of Skip's rare post-Oar studio excursions; 'All My Life (I Love You),' from '72, is Spence's boisterous take on Badfinger/Raspberries-style power pop, while 'Land Of The Sun,' recorded in '96 with the X Files in mind, sounds like nothing else under the sun, and finds Skip sonorously intoning a poem atop a psychedelic bed of sound.
Through The Magnifying Glass Of Tomorrow
Clandestine auteurs the Opalio Brothers (aka My Cat Is An Alien) have deftly sprinkled our solar system with their beautifully fragile, arcane soundscape/tracks via their own Opax label, as well as multimedia collaborations with vanguards such as Sonic Youth, Christian Marclay, Keiji Haino, Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Text Of Light, Jim O'Rourke, Mats Gustafsson, Loren Mazzacane Connors, Christina Carter Of Charalambides, Jackie- O Motherfucker & Black Magic Disco --- and even have been commiss…
Early Works 1966-1979
Trisha Brown, one of the most acclaimed choreographers of contemporary dance, first came to notice in New York in the 1960s. Along with like-minded artists, Yvonne Rainer, Steve Paxton and Simone Forti, she pushed the limits of what was then considered appropriate movement for choreography, and changed modern dance forever. Founding her company in 1970, Brown developed her own choreography and style with her own unique ideas of movement. The first DVD of this two DVD set presents film and video …
