Live '74 [At the Cliffs of River Rhine]
Agitation Free was one of the leading representatives of German experimental rock music in the early 1970s and was one of Berlin's most interesting bands under Ash Ra Temple and Tangerine Dream. The recordings on this vinyl were taken from a live radio concert of WDR / Germany, Cologne on February 2, 1974. The bonus track Big Fuzz was recorded in Moers on February 16, 1972.
Extended Voices
Omega Point had obtained the original tape recording of "Extended Voices" composed by Toshi Ichiyanagi (first released by Odyssey/Columbia in 1967 on the compilation of the same name, alongside other pieces for voice & electronics by Pauline Oliveros, Morton Feldman, John Cage, Robert Ashley and Alvin Lucier). The piece consists of electronic sounds and modulated voices which are included on this album in two new 2014 realizations, in collaboration with Takashi Matsudaira, a baritone singer…
Une Éclipse Totale De Soleil
2015 repress and remastered. Remastered CD edition of Une éclipse totale de soleil, Ghédalia Tazartès' third LP, originally released in 1984. Far away from contemporary music intellectualisms and the works of synthetic noise purists, this album features a new form of musical expression and is certainly one of the most original and creative records of the '80s. The value of this work was at the time underestimated and only a few people had a chance to listen to this beautiful music. The rec…
Occupè
Alga Marghen presents one of the treasures of the French avant scene of the 1970s, published now for the first time. An ideal parallel to Jac Berrocal cult LP “Paralleles”, the realization of these pieces recorded by Daniel Deshays and produced by d’Avantage in 1977 that also conceived a very elaborated sleeve design, was mysteriously discontinued making this record one of the lost jewels of the French underground.Together with Michel Potage (voice and various instruments) and Jac Berrocal (trum…
Sarcelle Locheres
A mindblowing masterpiece, of course included in the NWW list: Red Noise's one and only album was originally released near the end of 1970 on the legendary Futura label. Red Noise was a radical, inventive avant rock band with some improvised jazz elements, as well as a heavy dose of Zappa-esque humor. The first side is a bunch of interconnected tracks, some of them much shorter than a minute, like the opening piece, "Cosmic Toilet Ditty," which consists of footsteps and a toilet flush. Quirky so…
Le Rire Des Camisoles 1969-1974
Barricade, already known as the roots of ZNR, were a radical French commune formed in 1969 by over thirty musicians / non-musicians around François Billard (saxophone, voices, harmonica) and Gérard Lapeyre (violin) in Marseilles. They had wandered from place to place, changed their members one after another, and gigged on various stages in France around 1970.In 1973, they were split into two Barricades - one is a radically political & anarchic music outfit around François named Barricade Crève-V…
