DA CAPO: Da Capo - EGM 001 - £12 Extracts from concerts at DA CAPO, including Bach, Debussy, Shoenberg, Lee Konitz, Koln Saxophone Mafia, Luis de Matteo, John Cage, Lauren Newton, Michael Svoboda and others. Interesting collection (because dependent on the concert series; no one would compile such a set otherwise) which makes a good listening programme. Strange packaging and notes on a pack of cards. DADA: Castle Wall - BELL 9481 - £15.50 DALLAPICOLA/BERIO: Short Pieces From Italy - SR 58 - £12.55 DAMA DAMA: Dama Dama - WORE 960003-2 - £12 DD are a percussion ensemble with a strange and interesting repertoire, drawn mostly from Czech composers of the last 40 years - and many from the last 6 years. Occasional appearance of non percussion instruments and rock/industrial/theatre aesthetics. A few very off-the-wall moments here. An interesting and unusual record. DATA DIRECT: La Dolce Vita - CD 044 - £12 SLOVENIA. One of the trio, Borut Krzisnik will be well known to you from our Points East release some years ago. Decidedly up to date, played and processed compositions: skidding off techno here and there - and other genres too, but varied, often great, ideas, well realised. A group (with guests). Excellent sound and packaging. DATENRYU: Unto - BELLE 97370 - £15.50 DEAN, ELTON: Silent Knowledge - RUNE 85 - £11.50 DEAN, ELTON/TIPETT/ROGERS ETC: Bladik - RUNE 92 - £11.50 DEANE, J.A.: Nomad - VICTOCD 035 - £12 DEBILE MENTHOL: Battre/Emile Au Jardin - RECDEC 601 - £15.50 The two LP's combined on one CD. The Debiles were wild, inventive, rhythmically complex and extremely eccentric. On the unruly end of the RIO aesthetic and with high grade players and composers. A welcome reissue. DENIO, AMY: Birthing Chair Blues - KFWCD-111 - £11.50 Amy solo with her best so far, playing guitar, bass, saxes like a demon and singing better than ever. Strong arrangements, exact and exiting use of musical sound, and beautiful, seductive recording. Lyrical, tough, mysterious in proportions not available elsewhere. Amy's is a unique voice, as player, singer and composer. Addictive repeated listening and highly recommended. See also misc, ReR.

DG 307 were, along with the Plastic People, one of the essential voices of the Czech underground. These represent their collected works. DG were less 'musical', less like a rock group and more radically amateur; a lot of experiments with sound and structure, with dominant text. An acquired taste, but living history. DICK/BRENNAN/PATUMI: Aurealis - VICTO CD 052 - £12 DIDKOVSKY, NICK: Binky Boy - PM 003 - £12 Compositions by Dr Nerve boss and Fred Frith Guitar Quartet member, for multitrack, duo (w. Mark Stewart) and ensemble (+ Frith, Lussier, Howell) electric guitars, many styles and none, characterised by precision, energy, complexity and full exploitation of the electric mutability of the instrument. Cutting edge; a substantial entry in the lexicon. DIE KNODEL: Die Knodel - RECDEC 64 - £12.50 9 piece Austrian Ensemble who play tightly composed and nicely articulated dance/concert music somewhere between contemporary and armslength jazz with a lot of film influence. This is a highly accomplished and impressive piece of work, much better than their first, full of very sharp performances and nifty arrangements; light on its feet. And songs
DIE KNODEL:
Verkochte Tiroler - RECDEC 34 - £12.50
DIE KNODEL: Panorama - RECDEC 74 - £12.50 DIE, TRIP COMPUTER DIE: Die, Trip Computer Die - ALDTCD - £12 Amos/L.Voag again, this time known as Xentos, with a long awaited album of new songs. With Lepke B. (Lowest Note on the Organ and live DJ), and Bongo Bongo Barrow (The Homosexuals and the Murphys). Unheard at the time of publication, but promises radical adventures in the line of English pop-noise eccentricity. DIKOVSKY/MACLEAN/VRTACEK: Flies in the Face of Logic - POGUS 21008- - £12 Pieces by the 3 characters above for virtual and real pianos, sampled, treated, prepared and reconstructed pianos and one dropped from a crane from 100 feet.The Maclean pieces I have to single out for special mention: work of exquisitely integrated conception. performance, construction and subsequent manipulation; this is close to perfection by earthly standards. A lot of invention, thinking and pragmatics all round. Appropriately, 'None of us play piano. This is a common obstacle we shared, took advantage of and each dealt with in our own way' DIMUZIO, TOM: Louden - OS CD20 - £12 More from the Electronic drone maestro. See also ReR. DJLL, TOM: Mootootator - SRPD 01 - £12 Tom (known by Quarterly listeners) plays trumpet- driven interactive samples & electronics, also keyboards, and here is joined by 19 different guests (1 per piece). Intense, sometimes breathtaking improvisations. DOCUMENT: 8 CD and Book set - DOCUMENT - £40 Mammoth untertaking: a collection of experimental (mostly in 'Jazz, improvised' area) music from the old 'underground' Some very good stuff (and names now known: Ganelin, Kuryokhin, Grebenshikov, Tri-O, Ponomareva, Gioncharova, Jazz Group Archangel &c). Expensive and only for those who are much interested. Scarce supply. DOMACI KAPELA: Jedne Noci Snil - R 0010 - £12 Legacy of the PPU. An excellent Suite of Songs, with a highly distinctive harmonic signature, fine singing, good arrangements, light but authoritative drums and concise guitar. There is still life in Rock and Roll. DONEDA/ACHIARY/SAWAI: Temps Couche - VICTO CD 055 - £12 DONEDA/ACHIARY/SAWI: Temps Couche - VICTO CD 055 - £12 DOUBLE ARTICULATION: Fold and Rhizomes Remixes - SR 110 - £12.55 Dr NERVE: Every Screaming Ear - RUNE 88 - £11.50 Live recordings - studio quality - from Mainz, Tilburg and New York, Didkovsky compositions with New Ear (one of the best pieces on the CD), Isso Yukihiro Group, Meridian Ensemble, and his own Dr. Nerve. Fast and furious, tightly composed, devilishly complicated pieces performed with hard rock energy and virtuoso precision. Impressive...

Dense production and a lot of very interesting production experiments equals Arkham House meets Country meets W.Coast meets terminal eccentricity. Catchy too! See also ReR DUCHAMP, MARCEL: The Creative Act - SR 57 - £12.55 Marcel talks and his works are played. An historic document. DUCHESNE, ANDRE: Le Temps des Bombes - AM 022CD - £12 Montreal: treasure this, a musical community - where else do you find one ?

DUMITRESCU, IANCU/AVRAM, ANA MARIA: Ouranos, Gnosis, Orion I, II, Swarms III, Labyrinthe I - EDMN 1009 - £11.50 Pieces for Tape, Percussion, 12 cellos; Double Bass, 3 groups of Percussionists, String Orchestra, Strings, Amplified Percussion by the extraordinary and uncategoriseable Dumitrescu/Avram team. Pursuing the intimate grain of sounds through the directed inspiration of performers who somehow produce music while uncovering it, escape control by going through it. Movement and stillness. Even in the storm of percussion (Orion) is a slow centre. DUNAJ: La La La - R 0009 - £12 New work from the overlapping parts group. Simple ingredients locked together in slightly counterintuitive ways that make cyclic flat rhythms with songs over the top. Distinctive.
DUNAJ:
Rosol - PM 0002-2 31 - £12
DUNAWAY, JUDY: and the Evan Gallagher Little Band - AMF 1036 - £12 With a lot of classy guests, extraordinary songstress and guitarist JD breaks as many popsong rules as she can think of, to great effect. Sharp, funny, musically interesting, good songs. Drummer EG fits like a glove. EGG: The Polite Force - POCD 1844 - £16 Japanese reissue of the best album from this seminal and too much forgotten group. Egg score with their mixture of Soft Machine influenced instrumental extensions, highly developed, non-dilettantic (Stravinsky influenced) compositions, impeccable performances and their careful attention to timbre and dynamics. This release also contains 'Boilk', in 1970 an exemplary piece of tapework. Highly limited. ELLA GURU: Morbius - UNDER 003CD - £12 Ella Guru is an italian 6 piece (includes part of NORMA) who play an intriguing selection of original compositions, complex arrangements, not-quite-kitchy covers and strange cultural references and hybrids that are imaginative, funny, surprising and enjoyable. Excellently executed and recorded. A lot of fun. ELLIS, LISLE: Elevations - VICTO CD 027 - £12 EMANUEL, CAROL: Tops of Trees - EVVA 33002 - £ 12.75 Harpist CE plays compositions by John Zorn, Guy Klucevsek, Wayne Horowitz, Bobby Previte, Bill Frisell, Butch Morris, Anthony Coleman, Evan Lurie, Marty Erlich and Amy Rubin for various combinations of instruments. ENSEMBLE NIMBUS: Key Figures - APM 9403 AT - £12 A new group with ex-Samlas drummer Hasse Bruinsson (on electric drums) who sound a lot like the old Samlas in their approach and material. ETAGE 34: Etage 34 - X33REVPERMI - £12 Interesting noise-distort post-rock performances, in a style known better in its Japanese version, but developed long ago and honed over many years by this group in France. ETRON FOU LELOUBLAN: CD Set, music from 6 LPs - FGBG4214.AR - £30 RIO's Fast, furious and deeply eccentric Etron Fou, collected. EVIDENCE: Musique de Thelonius Monk - AM 028CD - £12 EX, THE: Mudbird Shivers - RECDEC 68 - £12.50 EX, THE/TOM CORA: The Weathermen... - RECDEC 55 - £12.50 Just when you thought it was safe...Tom and the EX VOLUME 2. EXILES: Jon Rose, Tony Buck, Joe Williamson - EXILES 1 - £11.50 You trembled at Slawterhouse, now GASP at Exiles: violin, electronics, samples, drums, contrabasse. Too many big beats for jazz, too fast for speed metal, too musical for it's own good, too many jokes for serious music, more adrenaline than SPEED II; drive your gerbils MAD by just pointing at the CD as if you were THINKING about playing it. What is faster than the speed of light grasshopper - the speed of thought that's what. And faster than thinking ?? FAFCHAMPS, LUC/JEAN: Attrition - SR 56 - £12.55 FAJT, PAVEL & PLUTO: Pavel Fajt & Pluto - MAMO 40-2 - £12 A new group from Pavel, similar to Dunaj in its overlapping of riffs and cyclic repeats, Pluto features strong melodies, interesting instrumentation, structural variety. With guests including Iva Bittova. Fine work. FAJT/MENESES: Songs for the Drums - PM0006-2311 - £12 Pavel Fajt and Jim Meneses. Written drum pieces; songs and instrumentals. carefully made and immaculately performed. FANG, FORREST: Folklore - RUNE 68 - £11.50 FORREST FANG: The Blind Messenger - RUNE 98 - £11.50 FAR EAST SIDE BAND, THE: Urban Archaeology - VICTOCD 037 - £12 Asian Americans with a foot in two worlds. Pieces for electronics and ethnic instruments. Between Sun Ra, Meditation, Noise. Particularly sensitive application of sonorities and perfect utilisation of percussions and Tuba. FASTILIO: Fastilio - ERH 003 - £12 Six women from Bologne play music composed with echoes of ZNR and Bratsch (featuring: clarinet, accordion, piano, sax, bass, sometimes drums) as well as improvisation in compatible vein. Instrumental and song pieces, nicely put together and with engaging variety. FAT: Magnetizer - MEGA 003 - £11 Back on course, the old screaming, hi-chaos Fat rip through 50+ minutes without taking a breath. Nice work in now rare field: real playing high energy electrics/noise, no samples, keyboards or horns. Strap yourself in and turn the volume to 11. See also ReR.

FEDER, JANET: Icyimi - BBCD 35 - £12 First CD, self made. Features an unusual set of pieces for treated and prepared acoustic guitars (+ Didgeridoo, Clarinet and Percussion on 3 tracks) which depart from and extend folk and classical performance techniques. A one-off and interesting arrival. All compositions are original, except for Hector Villa Lobos's Prelude No.3. FELDMAN, MORTON: Triadic Memories - SUBCD 0012-35 - £12.55 FELIX, LAJKO: Live at the Academy - LAJKO FELIX - £12 Another interesting and unique packaging concept. This CD with Lorinsky Attila, Double Bass is more uni-directional however, so check 1. first.. FELIX, LAJKO: Es Zenekara - MZ522 - £12 Phenomenal violinist (and sometimes zither player) with bass, percussion, a great cymbalom and sometimes saxophone and trombone. A variety of pieces from fiendishly fast to languidly lyrical. Linked to folk at the additive rhythm and melody end, but stretched way out from there. Eccentric labour intensive packaging. If in doubt, do try it. FERDINAND & THE PHILOSOPHERS: Enclume - RECDEC36 - £12.50 FILE UNDER BURROUGHS: B Generation (dbl) - SR 93 - £24 FOMOFLO: Slug and Firearms - MOMUS 005 - £12 A remarkable meeting of Amy Denio and the legendary Hoppy Kamiyama with Dennis Gunn, Tada Makio, Honda Tatsuya and on two tracks The Billy Tipton Memorial Sax Quartet. Enormous sound and a lot of wild music here, mostly songs and mostly big rock, but excellently done. A pretty remarkable piece of work. FOREVER EINSTEIN: One Thing After Another - RUNE 106 - £12 The remarkable Chuck Vrtacek. 11 compositions for guitar, bass drums, ringing the changes. Interesting use of small trio resources. Nice sleevenotes! FOREVER EINSTEIN: Opportunity Crosses - RUNE 41 - £11.50 New recordings by Beefheart meets soundtrack meets TV theme maestro's, led by Avant Garde President Charles Vrtacek.

Fred Frith and John Zorn FRITH, FRED/JOHN ZORN: The Art of Memory - INCUS CD20 - £12 Live Improvisations FRITH, FRED/MARK RIBOT: Subsonic 1 - SR 68 - £12.55 Not together but sharing a CD 50/50. Ribot's first piece (with Shrek) is that rare bird: something new under the sun. Rock bows to Varese in the disposition of blocks of sound, timbre and rhythm without tonal or melodic material intruding. I just can't praise this highly enough; a great achievement. Then Fred's acoustic piece is a gem, with a degree of subtlety and mastery of technique that is an unalloyed pleasure to listen to...and then he rips into an 18 minute electric guitar/sound composition that's a classic. All told this is a pretty essential purchase. FRITH, FRED/RENE LUSSIER: Nous Autres - VICTO CD01 - £12 The great Victoriaville festival concert, with cameo appearances from Christoph Anders, Chris Cutler, Genevieve Letarte and Tenko. All human life is there, well most of it. FRITH, FRED/TIM HODGKINSON: Live Improvisations - WOOF 013 - £11 Recorded in London, Sheffield and Leeds in 1990. No description is required I guess. FROHMADER, PETER: Cycle of eternity - RUNE 59 - £11.50 FROHMADER, PETER: Macrocosm - RUNE 23 - £11.50 GARLAND, DAVID: Control Songs - RERE 95CD - £12 GASTR DEL SOL: The Harp Factory - TOTE19K - £12 Curious item in gold art blank packing from TOTE, written and performed by David Grybbs and Jim O'Rourke. Drones, sparse instrumentals, an eccentric song. GAYLE, CHARLES: Unto I Am - VICTOCD 032 - £12 GEBBI, GIANI/TERRA ARSA: IL Libro Degli Eroi - VICTO CD 051 - £12 GENET/PLOUVIER: Plaisirs et Penitences - T4ACD2 - £11 Impressive collection of pieces , mostly written for theatre; here are horns, keyboards, percussion and samples, comprising exquisite melodies, noise, cinematic cuts and themes, echoes of Univers Zero, ZNR, Electroacoustics - all in played, organic, musical bodies. A rare delight. GIACCARIA, MARCO: Il Mio Cappello - MM MGCD 08 - £12 Careful, Tuneful, meditative. Adventurous with sonorities, layering, construction and machine/ performance mixing. A rich skein of material that is dense but open. For undistracted or wholly distracted listening, no fast fix. Hints of ZNR sometimes. GOEBBELS, HEINER: Horstucke - ECM 1452 513368-2 - £ Triple CD set of some of Heiner's CLASSIC radio pieces,with many guests well known to you all, with fat book containing all texts in German, English and French. And the Heiner Muller texts are frighteningly great. This is essential work and highly recommended. See also video. GOEBBELS/HARTH: Live at Victo - VICTO CD 004 - £12 Excellent document of a classic duo.

See also ReR, misc. GUBAIDULINA: The Seven Last Words - S.GUBAIDULINA. - £12 3 really excellent pieces by Sofia Gubaidulina, one of the most interesting new music composers in USSR. In order: for Chamber Ensemble, Orchestra, Electronics. Highly consequent composition, inventive and to the point. ORDER BY TITLE GUH: Flog - FLOG - £11 Strong and beautifully recorded with raw and rich sounds, this comes out of the far edges of Jazz (Sun Ra, Charlie Haden, Liberation Music) with 2 great drummer/percussionist, Tuba basses and a lot of low horns playing composed and rare music that refers strongly to the inventive elements of experimental rock. This is a remarkable piece of work in my opinion and even a bit of a discovery. GYSI, WADI/REICHEL, HANS: Showdown - INTAKT CD 02 - £12 Live recording for Guitars, Daxophone, Cello and Hammer in Zurich and Tokyo. Such orchestration and diversity of style and timbre is difficult to attribute to what amounts to two electric guitars (though Hans's exquisite handbuilt Daxophone is arguably a new instrument tout court). Plenty of treatments, but above all a breathtaking musical accord and inventiveness between the players - and a fearless mastery of rythmn, noise, lyricism, harmony, surprise. Will be a classic. H-LEGGED SALLY: Slow Up - SUBCD 024-46 - £12.55 H-LEGGED SALLY: Killed by Charity - SR 69 - £12.55 HAFLER TRIO, THE: Greenaway Economical texts - SR 73 - £12.55 Based on and with soundbites from 'The Prisoner' McGoohan's classic series. Mildly Zorn-esque assembly but more Shea's own. Usual New York suspects, including Zeena Parkins and Marc Ribot. Interesting and listenable work, sharply put together. HAIL/SNAIL: How to live with a Tiger - FM-025 - £11.5 Further adventures of HAIL's Susanne Lewis and Azalia Snail. 11 songs - richly instrumented with immanent CHAOS turning into sense. Interesting and extreme arrangements. See also Susanne Lewis, ReR.

HARTH/COOPER/MINTON: State of Volgograd - FMP CD 57 - £12 Improvised pieces from a 1991 concert in Esslingen. Starts a bit dry but then gets more interesting fast. A lot of good keyboard work and unusual drama-music sections. Interesting. HAT SHOES, THE: Differently Desperate - RECDEC 41 - £12.50 This is Bill Gilonis, Tom Cora, Catherine Jauniaux, Charles Hayward, assembled by Bill with occasional guests inc. David Thomas, Amos, Chris Cochrane, Hoboken Rythmn Kings, Tim Hodgkinson &c. with a collection of songs. HAVLOVA/HAVEL: Little Blue Nothing - F1 0021 25 11 - £12 Voice, Viola da Gamba/Tenor/Alto, Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, bamboo stems, knitting needles, organ, silver cups, small drum - gives an idea.

HERETIC: Yayoi Dream - BELLE 96302 - £15.50 HETU, JOANE: Castor et Compagnie - AM 037CD - £12 Solo CD by Joane of Justine, with Jean Derome, Diane Labrosse, Pierre Tanguay. Songs. Full of ideas and surprises. Excellent arrangements. Fine playing. Avoids the safe road. HETU, JOANNE /JEAN DEROME: Nous percons les oreilles - AM 054 CD - £12. HI SPEED: Eroika Con Animac Plenetico - CMDD 0022 - £14.99 Extraordinary slice-merge of Picchio Dall Pozzo, Etron Fou and ZNR style fast-cut strange experiment, snappy rhythm, bizarre recording, high energy, multiple event compilation. Rich and strange- and totally convincing...massed horns, great drums.. a 70's record except.. except.. was.. it.. ever.. this.. good? Anyone familiar with the era evoked will find this a philosophical and hyper-real experience (it's the nineties - that's where the philosophy comes in). For anyone not familiar with sources it's a revelation: more music for your money than you can imagine possible in the face of Marx's maxim, when history repeats it might be great! Japanese pressing. HIRSCH/WEINSTEIN.: Haiku Lingo - RERE139CD - £12 HOAHIO: Happy Mail - AMO HOA 01 - £12 First release on their own label by HACO, Sachiko Matsubara (Ground Zero) and Koto player extraordinaire Michiyo Yagi. 33 minutes in a nice package and extremely rare limited edition Japanese release. HODGKINSON, TIM: Each in our own thoughts - WOOF 0016 - £11 Six pieces, including the legendary unrecorded last Henry Cow piece (here as 'Hold to the Zero burn, imagine') a string Quartet, 2 works for small ensemble, 1 for samples and multiple horns and 1 for electronics. Featuring Dagmar Krause, Lindsay Cooper, Chris Cutler, Guy Segers, Dominique Weeks, Bill Gilonis and assorted trumpet, flute and string players. Thoroughly through composed; a remarkable musical statement that absolutely defies genre coding or classification. HODGKINSON/HYDER/PONEMAREVA: The Goose - MEGA 004 - £12 Improvisations. (in fact mostly, except, Begnagrad, Vojvodina) HOLLMER, LARS: The Siberian Circus - RESCD 502 - £12 Compilation from the classic out of print 5 LP's. What to say about Lasse? That he's one of a kind? That he writes tunes you want to listen to over and over again? That his is a combination of the experimental and the architypical, the carnival folkmeet and every mortal's existential solitude? These are songs and instrumental pieces that will haunt and caress. For soul and body

HOLLSINGER, TRISTAN: Sketches of Probability - CAI 009 - £11 HOMLER/WAEGEMAN/FAJT: Corne de Vache - VICTO CD 047 - £12 Live (Radio) recording of their Victoriaville performance, with guest Koen van Roy (saxophone). Quiet, melodic, slightly 'oriental'. An acquired taste. HOMLER/WAEGMAN/FAJT: same - LOW 002 - £12 Charming, minimal, collection of music-slices. Homler's 'Japanese' vocalising, Fajt's beautifully shaped drum riffs and Waegeman's tastefully layered Guitar/Violin/Keyboards make a unique soundprint, touching sometimes on a more clinical version of Iva Bittova or Aqsak Maboul.

Here Eric plays all manner of percussion and prepared percussion, joined by Erich Tiefenthler on the entire flute family unconventionally played and electronically modulated. Disciplined and organised and not following any genre rules, this is engaging, organic, unusual and entirely musical. Next (I thru O) Back to complete catalog index Back to main index |
