+: 1+1=+ - AS 0002 - £12.50 WILD Ethno-chaos, electronic, sample, crash pile-up, tape/hard-disk work from Bogota, Colombia - bearing the unique soundstamp of it's origin, and wholly CURRENT. A pretty extraordinary piece of work, beautifully packed and in HIGHLY LIMITED SUPPLY. Interesting. We'll be surely hearing more from + (= Gilles Charalambos and Roberto Sarmiento Herrera). 13th TRIBE, THE: Ping Pong Anthropology - RERE174CD - £12 15.60.75 (aka The Numbers Band): Jimmy Bell’s Still in Town - HR112 £8.50 Rare reissue of the 1976 LP release from a revived Hearthan Records. 15.60.75 was one of the legendary Ohio groups, back in the glory (Ubu, Devo, Tin Huey, The Waitresses) days. Main characters Robert and Jack Kidney recently re-emerged in David Thomas' Mirror Man project, and in a searing concert at the London Purcell Rooms. It's rock, but it scours and grips. In its field, an insider classic. 4tRECK: No. 1 - 4trk001 £11.50 Eccentric and original record, with some very interesting pieces, some complex rhythmic material (a little after Mats and Morgan) and a strange eclectic mix of other styles and fragments, featuring voice, piano, guitar, drums, melodica, casio, TV, Tape manipulation, vibraphone, accordion, jews harp, junk and so on. (tiny echoes of Beefheart, Zappa, early Americana, Exotica, 60’s electronics but essentially this is a highly original confection, so comparisons don't help. Composed material. Home-made. CDR. Limited Supply. 5UU'S: Point of Views - RUNE 85 - £11.50 Collects the first 5uu's LP in full, plus two 7 inch tracks, plus our own LP: RR 37 'Elements' all together on one CD. See also: ReR 9RAIN: 9Rain - X0PCD 34 - £12 I don't know how many of you follow me down this path - not many judging by the sales of other examples, but here is another who writes straightforward but somehow great songs. This came completely out of the blue. The singer, songwriter and sometimes wind player is Steven Brown (Americano), the rest of band are Mexican. The music is steady: near rock, with a latin edge and no machismo, including flugelhorn, trumpet, winds and, when needed, 3 female backup singers. Extremely well arranged and perfectly played. Subject matter, text, delivery exemplary. Atmosphere Lowry-Beneath the Volcano-esque. It's a rare achievement. Nice design too. Mexican import of uncertain supply. AA KISMET:Where's the rest of me? - ADM 32975CD - £12 Dull Schicksal svengali Lukas Simonis, drummer Cor Hoogerdijk and singer Eveline Ketterings with Bob Drake playing and producing. AFTER DINNER: Paradise of Replica - ££11 - ReR AD2 Long out of print, the second and last After Dinner LP with 4 additional recent radical remixes. This is a classic. AKSAK MABOUL: Un Peu de L'Ame des Bandits - CRAM 002 - £11.50 Yes, this legendary LP has been reissued at last. A collaboration between Marc Hollander, Catherine Jaunieux, Fred Frith, Chris Cutler, Denis van Hecke ('The Hendrix of the cello'), Frank Wuyts and Michel Berckmans, recorded by Etienne Conod at Sunrise in 1979, it contains great compositions (Marc's epic 'Cinema' and 'A Modern Lesson' are classics, Fred contributed the tightly formed 'Geistige Nacht' featuring his unmistakable Bass playing), some extraordinary studio improvisation, and highly eclectic influences throughout. Includes one bonus track and comes beautifully packed (the famous cover picture seen in colour for the first time). Highly recommended. ALTERED STATES: Altered States 4 - ZEN 003 - £12.50 The classic Japanese music and noise improvisation trio (all were also members of the last Ground Zero). Highly musical and inventive work that shows what can still be done with bass, drums and guitar (plus a few pedals !) and a lot of sensibility. Such a group only comes along once in a rare while. Japanese pressing. Few copies only. ALTERED STATES: Plays Standards - SKCA 1003 - £12.75 ALTERED STATES: Altered States 6 - ZEN 005 - £12.50 AMBIANCES MAGNETIQUES: Vol 3 Inedits - AM 050 - £12 A collection of fine unreleased pieces by Rene Lussier, Andre Duchesne (his 'toasts brulees' is a gem), Jean Derome, Michel F. Cote, Joanne Hetu, Robert Lepage, Danielle Roger and Diane Labrosse. A fine introduction to this extraordinary and exemplary musical community, and a great addition to their work for anyone already hooked. AMM AMM are one of our great assets. See also ReR. AMM: The Inexhaustible Document - MRCD 13 - £11.50 AMM: Newfoundland - MRCD 2 - £11.50 AMM: To Hear and Back Again - MRCD 3 - £11.50 AMM: Live at the Crypt (Dbl) - MRCD 5 - £20 AMM: Generative Themes - MRCD 6 - £11.50 AMM: Nameless Uncarved Block - MRCD 20 - £11.50 AMM: Combine+Laminates+Treatise '84 - MRCD 26 - £11 AMM: Live in Allentown USA - MRCD 30 - £11.50 AMM: Laminal (3 cd set) - MRCD 31 - £23 AMP: Sirenes - AMPCD - £12 AN EAR FOR A LEG: Various artists, dbl CD - ZCD18 - £15.50 Fine collection of music for dance by Zeena Parkins, Jim Coleman, Doug Henderson, David Linton, Leslie Ross, Laure Weinger and Guy Yarden. 32 tracks ordered for listening rather than presentation, with the different composers' pieces interspersed to make each CD a varied and musically coherent listen. Each piece is between 1.05 and 6 minutes long, with a couple of longer exceptions. Electronic works, tape works, sampler works, instrumental works, quasi techno works, installation works, abstract and heavily rhythmical works. Comes in a very nicely designed folding cover with thorough and informative notes. Praiseworthily cheap. ANDRTOVA, DASA/RADIM HLADIK: Voliera - MAM 060-2 - £12 Unusual and highly individual approach to guitars - rich, melodic and rhythmical, with some singing, some violin, some environmental sound - explored in 9 well paced pieces. One of a kind - those already familiar with Dasa's work will know her approach, here well complemented by Radim H. ANGELI, PAULO: Dove Dormondo ali Autobus - ERH 006 - £12 ANGELICA FESTIVAL: Angelica '92 - CAICAI003 - £11 ANGELICA FESTIVAL: Angelica '93 - CAICAI004 - £11 ANGELICA FESTIVAL: Angelica '94 - CAICAI006 - £11 ANGELICA FESTIVAL: Angelica '95 - AI 007 - £11 ANGELICA FESTIVAL: Angelica '96 - AI 011 - £11 ANGELICA FESTIVAL: Angelica 97 - IDA 103 - £11.50 ANNEMARIE ROELOFS' WASTE WATCHERS: Music from the Land of - - VICTO CD048 - £12 ANTONYMUS 1: Lacy, Rothenburg - SR 74 - £12.55 ARCANE DEVICE: Envoi In Cumin - PL02 - £12 David Myers' Feedback Machine (familiar to many from our LP release which comprised some earlier explorations) here presented perhaps to its best advantage. Electronics with responsive sensitivity. See also ReR ARCHER, MARTIN: 88 Enemies - DISCUS 10 CD - £11.50 Highly interesting (bar one I think) collection of pieces for virtual pianist, influenced by Stockhausen, Cage, Feldman, Boulez, Nancarrow 'new music has enabled anyone with a sense of sound and form to make great music' says Martin Archer, and then puts his sequencer and various devices on the line as proof. A courageous man, and you the jury. I think this is a fascinating record both for it's proposition, application and listening quality. ARTIFICIAL MEMORY TRACE VOL 5: The Ality Absfract - AUDIO 001 - £12 ASCIONE, PATRICK: Metamorphose etc... - MKCD 014 - £7.24 BALDAH, BEBO: Soniaskiri - SUBCD 0025-47 - £12.55 BANDA ELASTICA: Banda Elastica 2. - CDDP 1102 - £12 7 new pieces (an LP worth) and 4 welcome extras from the 1986 LP from this excellent Mexican group who include, inter alia, elements that recall 'Legend' era Henry Cow, Univers Zero, 'Uncle Meat' Mothers, and the sadly neglected Spanish group 'Musica Urbana' - but inside a music resolutely their own. Bass, Keyboards, Drums, Marimba/ Xylophone, Violin, Saxes, Clarinet, Flute - joined by a small orchestra of horns, strings and percussions on various tracks. Fiery, lots of additive rhythms (endangered species!), inventive arrangements and hot performances (special mention for the Drums and Acoustic Guitar). RARE BANDA ELASTICA: Los Awakates De Nepantla - CDGLP066 - £12 BANDA ELASTICA: Maquizcoatl - CDGLP073 - £12.50 BARDANASHVILI, JOSEPH: same (vinyl) - BARDANASHVILI - £8.30 BARTSCHI: Klang Klavier - RECDEC 4 - £12.50 BASTIEN, PIERRE: Musiques Paralloidres - LOW 012 - £12 Departing from his usual machines Pierre had this time rigged old gramophones to loop - more or less - using a mechanism that raises and lowers the playing arm. Singles are subjected to reversal, speed changes, overlapping and being accompanied and arranged and composed. Kind of minimal, not unlike his other work and certainly more to my taste than the usual result of messing about with loops (have to admit in general loops drive me up the wall so I'm not unbiased here). Intelligently and musically achieved. If you like Pierre and don't mind repetition, this is a well realised work. BAUER, KONRAD.: 3 Wheels in 4 Directions - VICTO CD 023 - £12 BAUER, KONRAD.: Toronto Tone - VICTO CD 017 - £12 BAYLE, FRANCOIS: Grande Polyphonie/Vibrations - MCGB 0396 - £15.50 One of the masters. Intuitive and non-mechanical, crystal clear acousmatic sounds brilliantly organised. Radical and densely complex but still a dream of eloquence. BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE LTD: Same - SR 61 - £12.55 BEDFORD, DAVID: Nurses Song with Elephants - VP116 - £12.50 The rare 1972 Dandelion LP reissued on CD. Bedford's experimental '60's pieces - for 8 recorders and 8 Melodicas, for 10 acoustic guitars, for 80 female voices and 30 'whirlies', for 12 piece chamber ensemble, for 6 pianos,, instruments and (Kevin Ayres') voice. Says a lot about the '60's and has lasted pretty well. David was a highly sympathetic and accessible composer and these pieces are still stimulating and very listenable. BEN GOLDBERG: Eight Phrases for Jefferson Rubin - VICTO CD057 - £12 BI KYO RAN: Madoromi (Live Vol.4) - BA 9466 - £15.50 Famous Japanese symphonic rockers, with King Crimson covers 'performance beyond K.C. itself' the promo sheets declare. BI KYO RAN: Parallax - BELLE 95186 - £15.50 BI KYO RAN: Deep Live - BELL 95170 - £15.50 BIBIC, BRATKO: Of Bibic Bratko - LUS 002 - £12.75 Some of you will recall the extraordinary Begnagrad LP of many years ago. Well, here is their great accordian player with a new project at last. Additive rhythms and addictive extended folk/popular melodies, somewhat similar in a way to the work of Lars Hollmer, with excellent arrangements and finely pitched performances. Some exquisitely beautiful pieces here (track 9 is perfect). BIFURCATORS, THE: Gang Of Two - ART 1012 - £12 Philip Perkins and Scott Fraser (+ guests) mix electronic, concrete and live instruments - live players and interactive computer accompanists - to make an abstract sound-assembly in which identifiable elements rise and vanish. A specific narrative of conceptual content underlies the mood and matter of each piece. Clear notes are included. BIRDSONGS OF THE MESOZOIC: Petrophonics £11.50 - Rune 137 BIRDSONGS OF THE MESOZOIC: Faultline - RUNE 19 - £11.50 BIRDSONGS OF THE MESOZOIC: Pyroclastics - RUNE 35 - £11.50 BIRDSONGS OF THE MESOZOIC: The fossil Record - RUNE 55 - £11.50 BISK: Time - SR 112 - £12.55 BISK: Funny or Ha Ha - SR 118 - £12.55 BITTOVA, IVA: Divna Slecinka - X74321 42891 2 - £12.00 A fine CD reissued at last in a (dubious) new cover. BITTOVA, IVA: Ne Nehledej - X74321 24858 - £12 BITTOVA, IVA: Classic - SU 3371 2 931 - £12.50 BITTOVA, IVA/DOROTHEA KELLEROVA: 44 Duets for 2 Violins (Bela Bartok) - R 0011 - £12.50 What it says, performed with singing too and in a completely over the top red velvet package with feathers and picture folder. BITTOVA, IVA/VLADIMIR VACLAVEC: Bile Inferno (dbl) - MAM 055-2 - £19.30 Iva on top form and multi-tracked with the great Vladimir V playing between them, violin, electronics, guitar, mandolin, kailimba, percussion and singing, with numerous guests, including Tom Cora. A very great collection of complex, subtle and inventive pieces, exquisitely arranged and full of surprises. Piled up cycles of strange additive rhythms with winding interpolations, in the Dunaj style, but in a layered soundscape .. My personal favourite work of Iva's for a while. Two CD's in a substantial box with a fat book of texts and photographs. Pretty indispensable. BJORKMAN and KRAKATU: Ritual - RUNE 86 - £11.50 BLAST: Echoes and influences of Don Van Vliet, Etron Fou, and maybe compositionally, Henry Cow. A bright sound, dynamic and ambitious music - an interesting mixture of the very complex and composed and a looser left field rock brutality. BLAST: Wire Stiched to Ears - RUNE 71 - £11.50 BLAST: Stringy Rugs - RUNE 95 - £11.50 BLAST: A Sophisticated Face - Rune125 - £11.50 BLATKLANGBRUECKE BERN: Selected Soundscape No.1 - CD 305 - £12 Unusual document of a concert spaced out across a city. Many great parts and altogether a pretty interesting achievement. Beautifully produced and annotated. BLEGVAD, PETER /JOHN GREAVES/LISA HERMAN: Kew Rhone - VP 200 CD - £12.50 The classic Greaves/Blegvad collaboration made in the late 70's with, amongst others, Carla Bley, Mike Mantler, and Andrew Cyrille. Years of work went into and came out of this integrated and complex suite of songs, where text and setting conspire to produce a whole greatly in excess of the sum of it's parts. A tightrope meeting of stretched rock, stretched jazz and bewilderation. Fine arrangements and model singing from Lisa Herman. The CD would be enough, but in addition there is a whole extra dimension in the CD-Rom - not read at time of writing because of defective CDRom drive, sorry! But Peter and John are happy with it. BLEGVAD, PETER: Choices Under Pressure - RES 143CD - £12 A hard one. Peter calls this an acoustic retrospective - it was rushed through to coincide with the official release of his wonderful book. There are two new songs here, the rest are lite revisitations of old material, with John Greaves and Danny Thompson variously on basses and Jackko Jakszyk playing guitar, precussion, keyboards and some other things. So, an easy listening Blegvad, with the edge shaved off, though I'm sure a lot of people will like it. Reservations: because I consider Peter to be a great talent, my disappointment is based, I guess unfairly, firstly on comparisons with existing versions of these songs, some of which, like "King Strut", "That'll Be Him Now" and "Daughter", really lose out, and secondly on the general toothlessness of the whole enterprise. I have to ask: why? These aren't radical revisions (such as Dylan is a master of) and they aren't solo singer-songwriter versions either. I'm afraid, as the title suggests but doesn’t excuse, the why answer seems to be: in order to have some product to market with the book. But that’s just me - and I'll bet mine is a minority view. It's just that from Peter I expect much, much more. BLINDMAN KWARTET: Poortenbos - SUBCD 0020-42 - £12.55 BLOCK, OLIVIA: Pure Gaze - sedcd 026 - £12 28 minutes long, this is a very focussed and unusual collection of miniature pieces. Small sounds, organised blocks and textures; imagination - with Trombones, English Horn, Bassclarinet, Clarinet and field recordings. Careful, finished work. BLOOM: One Hour Talisman - RUNE 96 - £11.50 Intelligent and well played electric instrumental music in progressive vein - well worth checking. Pippin Barnett, Greg LaBudde, Anthony Curtis. BOB OSTERTAG: Like a Melody -- No Bitterness Bob Ostertag Solo Volume 1 - MVORL1 - £12 The Jackson Pollock sound. Fractal densities. From one of the pioneers and intelligences of sampling. BORDEN, DAVID: Continuing Story of Counterpoint 1-4 - RUNE 28 - £11.50 BORDEN, DAVID: Continuing Story of Counterpoint 9-12 - RUNE 16 - £11.50 BORDEN, DAVID: Continuing Story of Counterpoint 5-8 - RUNE 21 - £11.50 BORDEN, DAVID: Places, Times and People - RUNE 58 - £11.50 BORUT KRZISNIK: Stories from Magatrea - BK1 - £12 Extraordinary and already out of print item (some will remember our Borut's ReR Points East LP). Huge Orchestra composition with unbelievable monster sound. Great Music. Serious imagination ! A remarkable achievement. Very Limited Quantity - first come... BOUD DEUN: Astronomy Made Easy - RUNE 91 - £11.50 BOWLES, PAUL: Black Star .. Darkness - SUBCD 0014-37 - £12.55 BRAMNK, FALTER: Reflux - Order by name - £12 An interesting collection of well recorded instrumental and sample pieces, some of which are really excellent. Careful choice of material and good playing -Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, Percussion, Samples, all by FB. A little editing would have been good. Terrible cover (but that’s just me, don’t let it put you off) BRAXTON, ANTHONY: Quartet 1992 - VICTO CD021 - £12 BRAXTON, ANTHONY/BRETT LARNER: 11 Compositions 1995 - CD LR 244 - £11.50 For Woodwinds and Koto. The sonorities of the instruments and the sensibilities of the players conspire to produce a collection of engaging sound baths, whose facility and ease are impressive (requiring but not demonstrating great technical and emotional virtuosity). As a bonus the excellent booklet gives fascinating and well written notes (by Graham Lock) about the individual pieces, Braxton's highly conceptual and verbal approach to musical and extra musical thinking (make up your own mind) plus reproductions of the tiny title score icons in colour. Hits many targets, especially if you haven't really listened to AB much. BRAXTON/BAILEY: Moment Precieux - VICTO CD02 - £12 BRENNAN, JOHN WOLF: The Well Prepared Clavier - CW 1032 - £11.50 24 tracks of interesting and listenable pieces for prepared piano, or pianos bowed or plucked, including tapes and a duet. This is an impressive document, of results not experiments. BRINGAS, GERMAN: Y El Engrane Amarillo (dbl CD) - order by name - £16.75 A double CD documenting a day with Bringas' quartet and four guests, Fred Frith, Chris Cutler, Luis Flores (violin) and Salvador Cruz (piano strings). Extremely eccentric package design. There's a lot that's good here, though possibly a more critical hand would have been more ruthless with the scissors. Featuring some fine Mexican improvisers. This is a rare import and in limited supply. BROTZMANN, CASPAR/HAMILTON: Zulutime - SR 98 - £12.55 BROWN, STEPHEN: The day is gone - SUBCD 004-21 - £12.55 BRUIRE: Les Fleurs de Leo - AM 025CD - £12 BRUIRE: L'ame de l'object - AM 034CD - £12 BUCHANAN, STEPHEN: Those who say - AMF 1042 - £12 A strong and personal collection of songs, expressive swathes of sound and organic musicality. Strong and simple, no deadening rhythms, no pulsating basses, but plenty of power and personality. BUCK, TONY: Solo Live - WR003 - £11.50 Tony Buck takes his STEIM interactive Drum/Perc/Sampler system through it's paces, not that listening you'd know where the hell the sound was coming from most of the time. An interesting set of pieces by one of the more interesting drummers around on that noise/electronic/rock fringe, and the only one I can think of to use triggered samples in a way that really works... BUCK, TONY: Red Spiders - TESCD0101 - £11.50 BUCK, TONY/RICK RUE: Let us Build Ourselves a City (7cm CD) - X022 - £8.30 BUCKETRIDER: Guignol's Band - Dr Jim 23 - £12 Very interesting Australian band (drums, bass, various horns - a lot of them low - all electrified and run through effects) who play powerful, beautifully recorded, open, rock-based, unusual (a little Cassiber, now and then) and very inventive music. Surprising. Substantial. Big Sound.
BUCKETRIDER: The Adoration of the Lamb -12 DR JIM 24 - £ BURN, CHRIS: Music for Three Rivers - VICTO CD 050 - £12 BURREL/MURRAY: In Concert - VICTOCD 016 - £12 CAMERON, ALISON: Raw Sangudo - X1112 - £12 Anne Le Baron Contemporary Music with a strong individual print. Minimal but not minimalistic; sparse landscapes full of luminous tension. Exquisite instrumentation somehow moving from music that has almost disappeared to a kind of rock. A true original. CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND THE MAGIC BAND Grow Fins - 5 CD’s and Book - Revenant 210 - £48 5 CD’s of unreleased material, tracing the Magic Bands from the beginning. Includes a whole CD of Troutmask rehearsals at Beefheart’s house and one collection (no 5) that is just unspeakably great – showing how completely extraordinary the magic band could be in concert and including a Don piano original (Odd Jobs) and the band "demo" version of Odd Jobs from the unreleased Batchain Puller. Plus Don acapella, Don plays the Mellotron and synth live and some unbeatable performances. Plus a long historical memoir by John French (aka Drumbo), occupying the larger part of a 112 page book full of fascinating material and pictures. Definitive. Indispensable. And reasonably priced! Book and Box. Possibly limited supply. Sorry but credit card payment on this box is a horrible £2 extra) CARDEW ,CORNELIUS ∓ THE SCRATCH ORCHESTRA: The Great Learning (1968-70)- organ of corti - £12 Historic recordings from concerts and German radio. CARPENTER, CHARLES: Frog A La Peche - CAT 8221 - £12 5 pieces for synthesised instruments, based on the Bohlen/Pierce tuning system (so: 'out of tune') with strong rhythmic structure and thorough through- composition. Interesting and unusual. CARPENTER, PAUL: Achter Glas, Landschap With Laura - WAM 1 - £12 A record of parts, sectors in differing styles, mostly related to contemporary classical and composed jazz. Some outstanding sections and some I'd skip. Overall, an interesting record. CARTIER, PIERRE: Chansons de Douve dbl - AM 056 CD - £12 CARTOON: Sortie - CUNEIFORM 55005 - £11.50 CARTWRIGHT, GEORGE: Dot - RUNE 57 - £11.50 CHADBOURNE, EUGENE/PAUL LOVENS: Patrizio - VICTO CD46 - £12 CHADBOURNE/KAISER: The GUITAR Lesson - VICTO CD 064 - £12 CHADIMA, MIKOLAS: Pseudodemokritus - P0098-2 - £11 From a pillar of the old (and new) Czech rock underground, and perhaps one of his best records to date. Amazingly this is a trio producing a rich, substantial and perfectly organised stretched rock compositions. Strong rhythmic and harmonic construction, with beautifully economical arrangements. Always to the point and carries real existential gravitas. Strong texts. Serious pleasure from one of Rock's unique voices - there are still new places to go! CHADIMA, MIKOLAS and PAVEL FAJT: Transparent People - Order by name - £12 Miklolas Chadima’s last record Pseudodemocritus – in my opinion a fine piece of work - did badly with most of you, but undaunted, let me recommend this one, a collaboration with master drummer Pavel Fajt (who also plays groove box and electronics). Mikolas takes the guitars, bass, keyboards, saxophones and sings dark texts (he has a very charismatic voice). Studio work, obviously, with a lot of overdubbing, but a happy combination of people and sounds, especially Pavel’s electric stringed wheel – no I won’t explain. A kind of rock, but updated; songs but with imaginative settings. The wholly transparent booklet is charming, but uncompromising. CHAGAS, PAUL: Sodoma - SUBCD 0026-48 - £12.55 CHAINSAW JAZZ: Dis Concerto - RUNE 46 - £11.5 CHAN WEI FAT: Hardly Breathing - FS 001 - £12 Hong Kong electrified guitarist with pieces for Hawaiian steel, prepared guitar, damaged Cello, detuned guitar, tape, toys and octavilia. Generally quiet and present realtime pieces...improvisation but not quite as we know it: an interesting addition to the lexicon. And some gems. Limited. CHENEVIER, GIGOU: Rumours of the City - RUNE 114 - £11.50 Compositions for 7 professional musicians (including Gigou and his excellent band Volapuk) and a number of students - developed in a series of workshops. Some of the compostions - for percussion, clarinets, 'cello, guitar, keyboards - are well considered, spare and telling (as the best of Volapuk) and the mixing of amateur and professional blocks makes for thoughtful listening CHIARI, GIUSEPPE: Antologia 1950-1970 - SEAC 01 - £12 Now 78, Chiari is a pioneer Fluxus artist and this is the first recorded collection of his musical works. Fascinating miniature piano pieces and pure tape works. Excellent and historic. CHRISTIAN VANDER TRIO: 65! - 7th A10 - £12.55 CHRISTOF MIGONE: Vex - AM 090 CD - £12 CHRISTOU, JANI: Enantiodromia, Praxis etc (vinyl) - EDRZ 1006 - £8.30 CIRCULAR FIRING SQUAD: Oxide - ART 1017 - £12 Unfolding noise material but a very high quality example of the genre with variety, excellent sense of pace and some exceptionally rich sounds. COAL HEART FOREVER: Coal Heart Forever - SUBCD 021-40 - £12.55 COHEN, IRA: The Majoon Traveller - SR 66 - £12.55 COMPILATION 1989.: Improvise - VICTO CD 09 - £12 CONTINUUM ASORBUS: Continuum Absorbus - SR 52 - £12.55 COOPER, LINDSAY See also ReR.

CORA, TOM: It's a Brand New Day £12 CORA,TOM/THE EX: Scrabbling at the Lock - RECDEC 39 - £12.50 Tom, plus dutch anarchist troublemakers THE EX. Good combination. Tom adds form and lyricism (and vaguely middle-eastern harmonic colour) to the group's enthusiasm, bringing out the musical ability which they clearly possess and pretend not to. Joined with good effect on some titles by singer Catherine Jauniaux. Interesting CORA,TOM TRIBUTE: Hallelujah, Anyway (Double CD) - TZ7602 - £21 With a long, long list of Tom's friends and co-workers with many of Tom's own performances. This is a remarkable record and a labour of love. Just buy it. COTE, MICHEL F: Compil Zouave - AM 067 - £12 With many guests including Pierre Bastien, Jean Derome, Claude Fradette, Diane labrosse, Martin Tetreault. A strange mixture of Vegas standards and hallucinogenic sounds. There are some remarkable and original things here, and fine percussion. COXHILL/ FRITH: French Gigs - AYAA TIC 099 - £12.50 CREELY, ROBERT, STEVE SWALLOW, DAVID TORN, CHRIS MASSEY DAVID CAST: Have we told you all you’d thought to know? £11.30 - Rune144 Poetry + Jazz CRISPELL, MARILYN QRT: Circles - VICTO CD 012 - £12 CRISPELL, MARILYN.: Labyrinths - VICTO CD 06 - £12 CRO MAGNON: Bull - LOW 008 - £12 Interesting, highly composed electric and wind Rock- chamber music, with faint echoes of early Art Zoyd, Univers Zero, Julverne, but very much with their own style and sound. Violins, Bass, Keyboards, Saxes, Electric guitar, Sampling. Maybe best listened to 1/3 at a time. CRO MAGNON: Zapp - CARBON 7/C70 - £12.55 CURLEW: Live in Berlin - RUNE 12 - £11.50 CURLEW: Bee - RUNE 2 - £11.50 CURLEW: Fabulous Drop - RUNE 105 - £11.50 CURLEW: Paradise - RUNE 80 - £11.50 CURLEW: Beautiful Western Saddle - RUNE 50 - £11.50 CUSAK, PETER: The Horse was Alive. The Cow was Dead. - WOSM1 - £12 Field recordings by Peter Cusak up and down the Lea Valley in East London. Sound and waterscapes, machine-life, folk tales and recollections - with an occasional instrument set in the environment. A highly unusual and very engaging record. CUSAK, PETER and MAX EASTLEY: Day for Night - PD 14 - £12 Made over the last 25 years from location recordings, sounds from Max Eastley's delicate kinetic sculptures, bazouki and guitar, this is an enigmatic and subtle collection of organic and engaging pieces somewhere between electronics and soundscapes, with a fine ear for structure and detail. Exquisite miniatures. CUSTER, BETH: In the broken fields where I lie. - BC2 - £12 The second CD from this exemplary composer and performer (clarinet family and keyboards) which is just pure pleasure to listen to. Covering all the ground from large ensemble pieces (clubfoot orchestra) through ghosts of latin, swing, jazz, spiritual, twangy rock and contemporary chamber music, to more abstract soundwork, it remains light footed and deeply musical. Includes an exquisite version of Ellington's "Echoes of Harlem" for multiple clarinets. If you like it imaginative and tuneful, this is highly recommended. CUSTER, BETH: Vinculum Symphony Live - BC3 - £12 CUTLER, CHRIS/DIMUZIO/VRTACEK: Preacher in naked Chase Guilty - PONK15 - £11 Concert recording of surround sound timescore project at REAL ART WAYS, Hartford CT. A document of musical, unmusical, non musical and extramusical events. Continuous, as played, but tracked to be reprogrammable in keeping with the score concept. Beautiful package. Medium-fi; installation package. CZECH NEW MUSIC FROM THE 60'S: Agon Ensemble - F1 0048-2 - £12 A splendid and much appreciated collection; unusual and prophetic music, all of which is uncompromisingly excellent. Particular mention for Berg: music in twelfth-tones (each tone divided in twelve) and Komorous (enormously inventive, especially thee piece for mouth organs and bass drum). This is music that was missed, showing that the spirit of experiment lived and thrived, heard or unheard, every- where, and it is still coming to light. Highly Recommended.
