When Young Marble Giants imploded in 1980, founder Stuart Moxham was at something of a loss. He played both guitar and organ in the band, wrote nearly all their material and was largely responsible for their beguilingly original aesthetic sensibility, which - despite their paucity of output - manages to sound as fresh and mysterious as it did when it appeared.
At first, Stuart’s future success seemed assured. He was the first artist to sign a long-term contract with Rough Trade. In the wake of the success of “Colossal Youth,” calls came in from a variety of successful musicians who wished to work with him. The output of Young Marble Giants grew continuously in stature.
The Gist started slowly, with the recording of five songs at the same session which produced the last recordings made under the Young Marble Giants’ name, though tellingly these were instrumentals which did not feature Alison Statton’s bewitching vocals. The Gist’s debut single, “This Is Love” / “Yanks” owed plenty to the wistful nature of Young Marble Giants, with Stuart’s warm baritone complementing the songs, which were originally intended as Young Marble Giants tunes. The single sold well.
Work began on an album, with Stuart recording demos at home and later polishing them up in Cold Storage with the assistance of Phil Legg and a number of post-punk luminaries (among them Swell Maps’ Epic Soundtracks, This Heat’s Charles Bullen, artist Wendy Smith, Viv Goldman . . . not to mention both Alison and Phil from Young Marble Giants.)
Years after its release, Stuart spoke of The Gist’s “Embrace The Herd” album as one in which he felt he had little to say, which is why the album featured a large number of instrumentals and songs with minimal lyrics. “Embrace The Herd” does not grab the listener in the same way as Young Marble Giants’ “Colossal Youth.” While the latter album presented a unique sonic world, “Embrace The Herd” sounds shattered somehow - not so much a lack of anything to say as much as a thousand possibilities, a difficulty in choosing. These days, Stuart contends that he simply wasn’t ready to express what was in his head.
The album sold in disappointing numbers, though today its originality and freshness is readily recognised, with multiple reissues and a greater understanding of its Eno-esque pop songs. The single which preceded the album (and was included on it), “Love It First Sight” has belatedly become a standard of the era, with both a well-loved cover by shoegazers Lush, and a genuine pop smash in France by Etienne Daho, where the lyrics were sung in French in highly-altered form under the name “Paris Le Flore.” It’s frequently used in film soundtracks, including two more this year.
Yet “Love At First Sight” did not trouble the charts. One single, “Fool For A Valentine,” followed. It too stalled. Somehow summoning up a tremendous amount of nerve, Stuart assembled old friends from Cardiff and went into the studio to demo his next release for Rough Trade. The results - included here - point towards a new and fresh direction that would have beautifully bridged the divide between the direct commercial appeal Rough Trade would soon chase and the to-thine-own self-be-true nature which can be found in all of Stuart’s work. Assured and confident, Stuart entered Rough Trade, only to be told that his contract was a “meaningless bit of paper” and that he was, henceforth, dropped from the label. Most of the remaining artists who defined Rough Trade’s early days suffered the same fate, and for Rough Trade is was soon the era of The Smiths and licensing American college acts.
What part the relative market failure of “Embrace The Herd” played into all this is hard to say, but it’s not as if Stuart had lost his touch with the economical and heartfelt pop song. During this period, he had written and recorded dozens and dozens of potential masterpieces which, with few exceptions, went unheard. “Embrace The Herd” would have been a totally different album had Stuart included many of the songs now presented here, on what amounts to the unreleased second album by The Gist, recorded back then but released more than a third of a century later.
“Holding Pattern” will be distributed throughout the world as a 14-track LP or CD. A limited number of early orders through Bandcamp will be available with several bonuses - A SMALL BOOK written and SIGNED by Stuart himself, detailing this period of his history with pictures anecdotes and more, A SET OF FOUR GIST BADGES and half a dozen or so FREE DOWNLOADS of songs not on the album, sent now and again in the coming months. Vinyl buyers will also receive their copy on GREY VINYL, as opposed to the regular black vinyl which will be available elsewhere.

I just spent $87 (including shipping) on a reissue of Santana's live album Lotus. Here's the story:
- limited edition, Japan-only;- comes in 7" square packaging with a miniature version of the original giant foldout artwork (the vinyl is actually bigger, fully unfolded, than Hawkwind's Space Ritual, if that gives you any idea);- remastered (in 4.0 if you've got a multi-channel system) from the original Japanese master tapes from 1973;- expanded to 3 CDs (it was originally a triple LP, then reissued as a 2CD set);- includes 35 minutes (seven tracks) of previously unreleased music
I know I buried the lede there a little.
Full track listing of the new version:

Lotus was already my favorite Santana album, and one of my favorite albums ever, period. I seriously can't wait to hear this expanded version. Here's where to order one, if you're of a mind. It'll be out April 19.

There's video footage from the same period in Japan I think. Had it a few years ago, think it was Japan anyway. Definitely same era. Not seen it in a while.

Dang, I want that. That was always the coolest Santana release, kind of the classic rock mirror of Hawkwind's Space Ritual. A friend goes to Japan sometimes and can get stuff cheaper while there, but probably not for a few months.

Max's Kansas City: 1976 & Beyond coming to CD and Vinyl on May 5th via Jungle Records
The original Max's Kansas City 1976 pioneering punk club album, extended with an extra 30 tracks and historical notes
http://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/17499246_10158426749755597_3119244468663289157_n.jpg?oh=d2c7f21da9351e0f6427acb3ab490943&oe=59555894
In 1976 Peter (Crowley) compiled a studio album of acts associated with the club, Max's Kansas City 1976, to help promote the club. It featured the first released recordings of Suicide, The Fast and Warhol-era veteran Wayne County, whose title-track gave a roll-call of many of the famous acts who'd regularly performed there.
Now the original album is reissued as Max's Kansas City 1976 & Beyond, greatly extended to 40 tracks on a double-CD and a selection of 25 tracks on a double-LP. As well as the aforementioned Suicide, Fast and Wayne County, the new extended album features the New York Dolls, the Stillettos, the Offs, the Senders, Philip Rambow, VON LMO, Iggy Pop, Knots, Roland Alphonso, Cherry Vanilla, Nico, Joy Ryder, Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers and Sid Vicious amongst many others. It includes many previously unreleased tracks and rarities. Compiled by Peter Crowley, who also contributes notes detailing the history of the album. Writer, musician and Max's scenester Jimi LaLumia provides historical overview sleeve-notes along with biographies of the artists in a 20-page booklet.

I'm in the middle of this, which would be a good companion to that comp. It starts out shaky (oh no, yet another half-assed oral history), but when it covers the more obscure nearly forgotten clubs and the forgotten artists better than anything previously.

For reasons that will become lysergically clear once you’ve heard the samples, Midori Takada's sublime debut album Through The Looking Glass [1983] is widely regarded the holy grail of ‘80s Japanese ambient & minimalist music. Perhaps it’s no wonder that 2nd hand copies are known to trade for over £600, and, therefore this deluxe reissue is welcomed by a whole new generation of listeners tracing this enchanted sound back to source.
Rooted in Midori Takada's fascination with Asian and African percussion traditions, Through The Looking Glass documents the Japanese musician navigating syncretic channels of practice between floating fantasy kingdoms and parallel ambient dimensions whilst guided by a deeply ethereal, oneiric spirit that’s utterly key to the album’s appeal. While it broadly falls under the ambient banner, the results are far too grand and ambitious to be considered sonic wallpaper - they’re more like widescreen tableaus that open out exponentially the deeper in you dive.
The image of a Lady Godiva-like character riding a hare-sheep-horse chimera on the cover symbolises the surreal confluence of ideas and gestures within; a Japanese musician translating Victorian psychedelic fantasies into a language of rippling rhythmelodies and softly pealing harmonics that nod to Pygmy music as much as gamelan traditions, the soundtracks of Cocteau films and precise marimba patter.
The rest, we’ll leave for your dilated discovery. Take it on trust that this is especially spellbinding and sui generis stuff without complete comparison. A dream.

Colourbox: 'Music of the band (1982-1987)' 4AD Store Exclusive LP
http://4ad.com/kcfinder/upload/images/Colourbox%20Music%20of%20the%20Band%20TADD3443%20front%20sleeve%20sticker%20800x800.jpg
24th March 2017To coincide with Wolfgang Tillmans' first major exhibition at the Tate Modern in London, Music of the band (1982-1987), a celebration of Colourbox, is available as a limited double LP. An HD audio version is also now available to stream / download via Bower & Wilkins. You can buy the LP edition from the 4AD Store, and the LP is also available from the Tate Modern in London.
The 16 tracks chosen by Wolfgang were originally selected to be played on loop at a conceptual playback listening space at Tillmans’ Berlin gallery, Between Bridges, in 2014, where lyrics and samples were pasted on the walls and where copies of the v23-designed records sat alongside original session ½” and ¼” tape reels, seeking to provide a unique environment for the audience to immerse themselves in the band’s modest but potent legacy. A limited number of CDs featuring those exhibition tracks were made available at this 2014 exhibition.
Both Colourbox and the Playback Room now form part of Tillmans’ exhibition in London (running until June 11th 2017) and this gatefold 2xLP edition of the compilation is now available exclusively through both the Tate shops and via the 4AD online store. This version features a new variation of the Tillmans-designed CD sleeve, a previously unreleased photograph series of his that features his prized Canon Colour Laser Copier, ripped apart and dismantled after a decade of service; “Eighties technology has influenced me a lot. When I won the Turner Prize I bought this copier with the money. Ten years later it was no longer repairable and I made this 'deconstruction' of it." You can find full details of the exhibition at the Tate Modern here.http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/wolfgang-tillmans-2017
Previously speaking of the band, Wolfgang said, "Brothers Martyn and Steven Young together with Ian Robbins, Lorita Grahame and Debian Curry were pioneers of experimental pop music. They created an eclectic sound drawing from reggae and soul influences, beat-box driven hip-hop rhythms, blue-eyed soul, as well as a fusion of far-ranging influences spanning from classic R&B, to dub and industrial. Using montages of analogue magnetic tape pieces and experimenting with tape machines, Colourbox were at the fore-front of sampling, which in its digital form would become ubiquitous in the course of the 1980's. The band worked in a seeming contrast of pure artistic research in the studio and an anti-intellectual stance towards the outside world.”
Between the initial exhibition in Berlin and this, Steven Young has sadly passed away. This release is also being pressed as a tribute to him and to Ian Robbins, who left us in 2014, and the wonderful music they made.

Everloving Records announces the US reissue Super Furry Animals’ 1996 debut album, Fuzzy Logic, for Record Store Day 2017!
On Saturday April 22nd, Fuzzy Logic will be available on 180g LP with an additional 35 bonus tracks and on 2xCD. Gruff Rhys says: “The reissue is radically different to the original, some songs have alternative beginnings and endings and people will notice the difference in definition, especially in high resolution digital and the new vinyl cut.”
Despite the Lennon-aping antics of their peers, Wales’s Super Furry Animals were the closest Britpop came to the adventuring spirit of the Beatles. Their indie rock, psychedelic pop, dance, country, glam and space-folk mashup was as pioneering as their aesthetic was madcap … These homecoming gods showed us the old magic.” — The Guardian
The madness and the majesty of Super Furry Animals’ chaotic emergence as an indefinable, thrillingly exciting addition to the innovative margins of mainstream rock and roll is irresistibly encapsulated in the US reissue of their 1996 debut album, Fuzzy Logic for Record Store Day 2017 on Saturday April 22nd via Everloving Records. From the two-decade deep well of their adventurous catalogue come B-sides, a legendary festival performance and demo versions from low-key 1995 recording sessions, revealing the genesis and winding roads taken by many of their early hits.
Super Furry Animals are comprised of Huw Bunford (Guitar/Vocals), Cian Ciaran (Keyboards/Effects/Vocals), Dafydd Ieuan (Drums/Vocals), Guto Pryce (Bass) and Gruff Rhys (Vocals/Guitar). This is the original lineup that burst onto the music scene in 1995 with the release of their first EP Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (In Space). They were quickly recognized as being amongst the most interesting and inventive bands of the ‘90s British music boom and a string of lauded albums. Renowned for an energetic and exhilarating live show, the band has become synonymous with their native Wales and are considered a bona fide national treasure.
The significance of the reissue and the forensic remastering process was heightened as the band learned of the tapes’ near destruction in a storage fire sometime between the original Rockfield Studio sessions in late 1995 and their retrieval in 2016. Official Furries Archivist and Co-Compiler, Kliph Scurlock dusted off the smoke-tinged reels and led a fingertip search for each and every track, working with Mastering Engineer, Donal Whelan to unpeel layers of primitive, mid-nineties digitization, correct subtly corrupt edits and expose the warmth and ingenuity of the original, analogue recordings in superior, high resolution.
Gruff Rhys says: “The reissue is radically different to the original, some songs have alternative beginnings and endings and people will notice the difference in definition, especially in high resolution digital and the new vinyl cut. 1995/6 was an overwhelming whirlwind of touring, gimmickry and mayhem for us so it’s been a real treat to take some time to relive and reassess all these songs and compile everything that we recorded in that short, magical period in one place. In the unfamiliar environment of a big studio, Fuzzy Logic didn’t end up sounding anything like what we’d had in our heads for those years of songwriting building up to it, but it does have that undefinable vigor and energy of youth which isn’t included in the price of hiring a multitrack studio.”
Super Furry Animals spent six weeks in Rockfield Studios, South Wales completing the album, which was then released on Creation Records in May of 1996, climbing to 23 in the UK charts. The productivity of the time is evident in a separate collection of eight rock-solid b- sides, including the boisterous, fan favorite, Guacamole, creating parallels with bands such as The Beatles, The Smiths and The Jam, all renowned for the songs on the flipside being of the same, unquestionable quality as the lead.

Game Theory - Two Steps From The Middle Ageshttp://omnivorerecordings.com/music/2-steps-from-the-middle-ages/ Following up 1987’s Lolita Nation (whose reissue appeared on numerous year-end “best of” lists for 2016) would be no easy task for Game Theory. But, Scott Miller and company were certainly up for the task. Re-teaming with producer Mitch Easter (R.E.M., Marshall Crenshaw, Velvet Crush), 2 Steps From The Middle Ages was released in 1988, and showed the band had no shortage of energy, experimentation, and excellent material. This reissue contains the original 13 songs supplemented with a whopping 11 bonus tracks—demos, live performances and covers—all previously unissued. The translucent orange, first pressing of the LP (on vinyl for the first time since its initial release), contains a download card for the entire CD/Digital program. Packaging includes rare and previously unseen photos from the band’s photographer, Robert Toren, as well as essays from Easter, Ken Stringfellow (The Posies, Big Star), and Franklin Bruno (The Village Voice, Salon.com). The band’s drummer, Gil Ray, who was involved in all aspects with the Game Theory reissue series including this title, sadly passed away earlier this year. This reissue is lovingly dedicated to him. As the first track says, there’s “room for one more, honey.” That 1 more is 2 Steps From The Middle Ages.

HERE WE GO:
Smog Veil has a small limited number of the Brad Warner (0DFX, Dimentia 13) directed documentary film double DVD set, "Cleveland's Screaming!" Our friends at Red Hour Records produced this release and also licensed to us The Guns double LP.
"Cleveland's Screaming!" is a documentary film about the hardcore punk rock scene in northeast Ohio in the era of Reaganomics (1981-1984). A new breed of punk rock music came about named hardcore, which led to kids forming bands and building scenes around the country, networking a community of people from all over the world. This film shows the beginnings of NEO hardcore punk's scene to its demise a few years later, as told first hand by the people and bands that were there, including interviews, rare concert footage, photos and fliers, never before seen until now. Even yours truly, Frank Smog Veil, makes an appearance in the film!!
DVD 1 - Full Length DocumentaryDVD 2 - Special Bonus DVD with rare 80s concert footage, interviews and other extras
Our double LP retrospective of Cleveland's greatest hardcore band, The Guns, went out of print nearly immediately after release in 2012. We constantly get questions about it, and now we're happy to report that a repress is on the way.
For the uninitiated, hands down the top-end standard by which all other Cleveland hardcore bands should be measured, Cleveland hardcore history could not have been the same without The Guns. Scott Eakin and Dave Araca formed the band originally as a 2-piece, later adding to the lineup some amazing rippers in the form of Sean Saley, Bob Ries, and Scott Silverman. Though a couple compilation appearances is all they managed back in the day, this release collects those tracks plus all other studio recordings, as well as some choice live cuts. The LP also features Vince Rancid's original cover art as commissioned by the band in the 80s and informative liners penned by Scott's brother, Tom Dark, and Sean Saley.
"The Guns is a fitting tribute to an excellent band." --Hunter Bennett/Ugly Things #34
"This is a definite must-have for any old-school hardcore punk..." --Janelle Jones/AMP#111
The numbers: double LP with free download code, 43 songs, 2nd press limited to 500 copies, black and red marble vinyl.
Platters du Cuyahoga series 2 update Masters for the 3rd entry in series 2 are being assembled now at SUMA Studios in Painesville, Ohio.

This release will include both studio and live tracks and extensive liners and photos. The whole series can be ordered by clicking the links below.
Praise for the first of our Platters du Cuyahoga series 2 releases: the legendary and never before released 1967 studio demo from Schwartz Fox Blues Crusade "Sunday Morning Revival":
"...destined to bring a smile to the face of Butterfield and Musselwhite fans far and wide while deepening the already rich history of its municipality..." --Joseph Neff/The Vinyl District
"...the band winds you up and leaves you begging for more". --Elmore Magazine
"As I grew to love the blues, I wanted to try to see if we could come up with something worthy of recording, and the only way to do that was to actually try it."- Jimmy Fox (James Gang/Schwartz Fox Blues Crusade)
Though once believed to have been lost or to only exist in theory, the lone 1967 studio demo recording by The Schwartz-Fox Blues Crusade featuring Mr. Stress - consisting of Cleveland legends and then members of the James Gang and Mr Stress Blues Band, Glenn Schwartz (guitar/vocals), Jimmy Fox (drums) Bill "Mr. Stress" Miller (vocals/harmonica), Tom Kriss (bass), Rich Kriss (guitar/vocals), and Mike Sands (piano) - is finally being released for music fans to savor and enjoy. 9 studio tracks of pure post-teen garage rock blues are accompanied by extensive liners and and never before published photos. The LP features colored vinyl, a free download code, and is limited to 1500 copies. Both the CD and the LP contains extensive liner notes penned by Nick Blakey and never before published photos.
Want to order the entire series 2 at a discount? Here's the details:
The three releases comprising Platters du Cuyahoga series 2 are: (1) Schwartz Fox Blues Crusade: "Sunday Morning Revival" (1967); (2) Allen Ravenstine: "Terminal Drive" (1975) (spring 2017 release); and (3) a soon to be announced double LP release of studio and live recordings from the first and most influential improvisational electronic outfit that called Cleveland home (1972-1973 recordings). All the releases will be formatted on vinyl as well as CD and download/streaming. A hallmark of the series will be that each release contains extensive liner notes, all carefully crafted and researched.

"...deepens the already labyrinthine rewards of its region and rescues its namesake from footnote status." --Joseph Neff/The Vinyl District
MR. STRESS BLUES BAND "Live At The Brick Cottage 1972-1973" LP/CD/digital:
"At the risk of mythologizing a past I wasn't there for, Live at the Brick Cottage captures a particular scene and time, and Nick Blakey's extensive liner notes help to contextualize it. But it's not just a valuable time capsule, it's more important as a fun listen." --Justin Cober-Lake/Dusted
X_X "Albert Ayler's Ghosts Live At The Yellow Ghetto" LP/CD/digital:
"I love how it starts off in chaos before it coalesces toward the end." --Ron Kretsch/Dangerous Minds

Numerophiles-
It’s that time of the year again. Wait, that’s exactly how we started this off last year. We’ve run out of ideas, folks. From here on out it’s going to be one rehash after another, as we trot out both tired tropes and borderline product in a vein attempt at maintaining RSD cred. We’ve tried to do interesting things in the past, be it WTNG or Los Alamos Grind! Our hope was that the average RSD chud-thumber might need a break from flipping past 311 triple 11” box sets, Feldman & Haim rap 12”s, and Mac Demarco reading fan tweets EPs. But it turns out that most people just want the same reheated garbage every year. You’ve been burned before with long lines and punishing prices, and if we get our way it’ll be more of the same, with hopefully longer lines and even higher prices. Who are we to argue with your terrible life choices?
But this is Numero, after all, and if we’re going to go big, we’re going to do it in a way that surely frustrates record buyers. In the past when we trotted out Hüsker Dü and Dinosaur Jr. sets, we pressed them in quantities that insured against the flipper economy. We wanted to make enough so that average fans who didn’t set up tents on the street the night before RSD would have a chance to buy our wares at an affordable price. Not this year. This year we’re pressing just enough copies to make you wonder if we actually pressed anything at all. The only way you’ll know for sure is if you come to one of our pop up stores (details below), pop a tent, or get a bowl of Pop Secret in your lap for the long, dark night of eBay refreshing for the soul.more info incl many links in web version of this press release:http://numerogroup.com/sendy/w/KGfkwQIbooVTdJucmNY1892Q/PtzdMeEx763iy9sRJJjiM8ww/GEjMthjFuCS892dpDyvJSB4g

Telefon Tel Aviv's Map of What is Effortless reissued digitally today & original pressing vinyl available via Ghostly BUY IT HERESTREAM: Map of What is Effortless -https://soundcloud.com/ghostly/sets/telefon-tel-aviv-map-of-what-is-effortless/s-uZzQoBy 2004, New Orleans friends Joshua Eustis and the late Charles Cooper had fixed their flag in the landscape of the American electronic underground as Telefon Tel Aviv. The duo’s acclaimed 2001 debut Fahrenheit Fair Enough, released by John Hughes III’s Chicago-based Hefty imprint, offered a deep Southern sweep on glitchy IDM and pastoral post-rock, drawing as much from bounce rap, R&B, and jazz as it did Autechre and Aphex Twin. The follow-up, Map of What Is Effortless, managed to both expand and refine the sound. Signature polyrhythmic programming met new vocal presences on seven of the nine tracks. The Loyola University Chamber Orchestra contribute to the title track; a sumptuous centerpiece exemplifying Telefon Tel Aviv’s craft for wordless, cinematic storytelling.
Ghostly International, having reissued Fahrenheit Fair Enough at its 15th anniversary in 2016, will update Map of What Is Effortless on April 14th. The digital release, noticeably absent in most streaming libraries until now, features three bonus tracks: “Jouzu Desu Ne,” “Sound In A Dark Room,” and a remix of the latter by legendary composer Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Also, there is a modest amount of original vinyl pressings from 2004 available for purchase at The Ghostly Store. Hefty Records were kind enough to help us source an unsold batch of the original pressing (long since unavailable). Stored for over a decade, the LPs have some character.
Track List:01. When It Happens, It Moves All By Itself02. I Lied03. My Week Beats Your Year04. Bubble And Spike05. Map Of What Is Effortless06. Nothing Is Worth Losing That07.

Sad Lovers And Giants - Where The Light Shines Through – 1981-2017: 5CD Box Set Apr 28https://www.cherryred.co.uk/product/where-the-light-shines-through-1981-2017-5cd-box-set/#sthash.9QTXp5T3.dpuf
Formed in 1980, Watford band Sad Lovers & Giants carved a unique furrow through the 1980s independent music scene, creating music which was haunting, atmospheric, melodic and evocative and which somehow straddled post-punk, synth pop, psychedelia and indie.
Compiled, designed and curated by the band, WHERE THE LIGHT SHINES THROUGH is the first comprehensive anthology of the band’s recordings.
After singles on their own Last Movement label, they signed to Midnight Music, issuing two albums – Epic Garden Music (1982) and Feeding The Flame (1983) – before splitting. This period also witnessed a John Peel session and a live concert for Dutch Radio Hilversum (subsequently issued as Total Sound in 1986). All of these recordings appear here.
Sad Lovers & Giants returned with a revitalised line-up in 1987 – still fronted by ever- present vocalist Garce (Simon) Allard. New albums followed – The Mirror Test (1987), Headland (1990) and Treehouse Poetry (1991) – as the band found new audiences in the Netherlands, Spain and France.
When Midnight Music dissolved, so too did the band. But Sad Lovers & Giants reunited in the noughties, playing to loyal fans and recording a new album, Melting In The Fullness Of Time. Since then, Sad Lovers & Giants have stayed active, culminating in a short tour of North America in spring 2016, during which they were invited to showcase at the prestigious SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
WHERE THE LIGHT SHINES THROUGH spans the band’s entire career, with every recording of note, sleeve-notes by Garce and design by ex-member Simon Blanchard.

JOHN COLTRANE
http://image.e.wbr.com/lib/fe8e137075670c7572/m/1/Coltrane_081227940683_PR.jpg
Rhino's New Compilation Spotlighting Coltrane's Atlantic Years Will Be Released On June 9 The Acclaimed Documentary Chasing Trane In Theaters Now
Five Individual Releases Of The Pioneering Saxophonist's Mono Albums For Atlantic Records Out June 16
LOS ANGELES - John Coltrane will take the spotlight this year when John Scheinfeld's highly anticipated Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary begins its theatrical run on April 14. Shortly after, Rhino will focus on the revolutionary music the "heavyweight champion" of jazz recorded for Atlantic Records with a series of releases.
It all begins on June 9 with the arrival of a new anthology that includes nine tracks selected from recordings the saxophonist made for Atlantic Records between 1959 and 1961. TRANE: THE ATLANTIC COLLECTION will be available on LP ($19.98), CD ($14.98) and digitally.
The compilation will be followed by mono reissues for five Coltrane studio albums: Giant Steps, Olé Coltrane, Coltrane Plays The Blues, Bags & Trane and The Avant-Garde. Each will be available on 180 gram LP ($21.98), and digitally on June 16, with the mono CD of the classic Giant Steps ($11.98) coming July 7. These albums were recently issued together as part of Rhino's boxed set John Coltrane: The Atlantic Years In Mono. The set received critical acclaim in 2016 including five stars from Downbeat which noted, "With no alternate takes and presented verbatim and presented as the albums were originally issued song-by-song, there is certainly a warmth, clarity and a sense of wholeness that can give new fans a fresh way to listen to Coltrane."
The mono albums and new compilation cover the time when Coltrane - after playing on Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue - was moving away from the life of a sideman and embracing the role of bandleader. The music he recorded at Atlantic features some of his finest work, including the wise blues of "Equinox," a bright, swinging version of "My Shining Hour," the exuberant "Giant Steps," and the hit single "My Favorite Things."
In the liner notes that accompany TRANE: THE ATLANTIC COLLECTION, author and noted jazz critic Ben Ratliff writes: "You can listen through this 46-minute collection of romantic or purposeful or slightly mysterious music...and get it clearly: the sense of a strikingly original sound and intelligence."
Coltrane is poised to reach a new audience this year thanks to Chasing Trane. Written and directed by critically acclaimed documentary filmmaker John Scheinfeld, it is the definitive documentary film about an outside-the-box thinker with extraordinary talent whose boundary-shattering music continues to impact and influence people around the world. Some the film's notable appearances include Bill Clinton, Sonny Rollins, and Common, with Coltrane's own words spoken by Denzel Washington. Following its theatrical launch in New York, the film will be shown in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago, with additional cities planned.
TRANE: THE ATLANTIC COLLECTION Track Listing
1. "My Favorite Things" (Part I) - Single Version2. "Like Sonny"3. "Cousin Mary"4. "Giant Steps"5. "Central Park West"6. "Equinox"7. "Naima"8. "My Shining Hour"9. "Mr. Syms"

I just bought the deluxe double edition of X-Ray Spex - Germfree Adolescents, which apparently was reissued in 2009. It's one of my alltime favorite albums, how did I not know about this? I checked and it wasn't mentioned in the rolling 2009 thread. Anyone know of deluxe reissue plans for Lust For Life/The Idiot, Low/Heroes, Blank Generation or New York Dolls, pipe up!

Oh yeah, guess I should put this here too (just now on Rolling Jazz)--note forthcoming reissue and single (check Luaka Bop to order):
Alice Coltrane Tribute show on May 21st!RBMA Festival New York: As you may have heard, we are working very hard on a large celebration of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda. This year marks the 80th year since she was born, and the tenth year after she passed to another place. We just announced a large tribute concert and ceremony in her honor, which will take place In New York at the stunning performance and arts space called The Knockdown Center, as part of Red Bull Music Academy Festival New York. The first part of the show (that we are involved with) is inspired by the Sunday ceremonies Alice held at her Sai Anantam Ashram in California. Timed to coincide with sundown, the powerful, spiritual music will be performed by an ensemble led by music director Surya Botofasina, who grew up at the Ashram. The latter half will be a concert led by her son, Ravi Coltrane, featuring an all-star band playing music from throughout Alice's career. Tickets are available here.
A few weeks prior to that, we will be releasing the compilation of her spiritual music, which we told you about last time. Titled World Spirituality Classics 1: The Ecstatic Music of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, it features a lot of beautiful artwork, photos and essays. You can pre-order it here.
Ps. if you have read this far, you may also find it interesting to learn that we have a handful of the very limited Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda 7"s we made for the "Come Together" Record Fair last weekend. If you would like to order one, you can do so here.

I have that XRay Spex double cos it turned up in HMV when they were having the closing sale. Had the previous cd so hadn't picked it up previously.
Would love an update on the 2 late 70s Iggy lps. But not sure there's even a remaster around though have seen that there is a 2 fer iof the 2 lps on cd from 2011. Thought there may be another version around. THink the 2011 thing is just a repackaging of the previous cds which I think may be late 80s.
I thought that people were slowly working through the Bowie lps and making them doubles with a loto f bonus, but that was possibly on the basis of Ziggy Stardust coming out followed by at least Aladdin Sane and that might be 15 odd years back.Is there likely to be a Berlin era thing like the recent set that covered the build up to Young Ameriocans and Station to Station. Who Can I be Now?
I think Blank Generation was done as a single cd with some bonus tracks an age ago and that there have been some other anthologies mopping up various bits of Richard Hell's history.
Only thing I know about NY Dolls semi rarities is a llive box set from sometime around that era, Sanctuary 2008. But I think t hat covers some later stuff too by ex members.

Rhino's Wilson Pickett set was really nice. I've been debating whether it's worth getting the Sabbath Paranoid Super Deluxe set, I might pick it up used. They did Otis' Dictionary of Soul in October, and Led Zep's 3 disc BBC Sessions reissue was cool. Stevie Nicks and later Fleetwood Mac deluxes. Everything is tip top quality that I can tell. But they also do a lot of vinyl only reissues which I have no interest in. It's just a matter of time 'til they revive 8-tracks (I think I saw a glimmer of that), then 78s and wax cylinders.

Happy Record Store Day!Vic Chesnutt's West of Rome now available for the first time on vinylNew West Records is proud to present Vic Chesnutt’s second studio album, West Of Rome. Meticulously remastered and pressed on vinyl for the very first time, West Of Rome is widely regarded by fans and hailed by critics as Chesnutt’s best record. Produced by R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, this vinyl pressing features an alternate tracklisting curated by Vic and Stipe in which “Latent/ Blatant” no longer kicks off the album and is moved to the bonus tracks. In addition, the closing instrumental which was “hidden” in the original release is now titled “Little Fugue” and has been resequenced as the fourteenth track. West Of Rome’s two studio outtakes, “Nathan” and “Where’s The Clock,” appear in the bonus tracks. Also included are four-track demos and live versions of songs from the same time period. This pressing is West Of Rome as it was meant to be.
You can pick up a copy of West of Rome at your favorite independent record store, exclusive for Record Store Day.

Drunk“On his third and maybe most conceptually complete album, Vic Chesnutt emerges as that rare kind of artist who can see right into the living room of small-town America. Drunk is an example of how he can turn seemingly self-absorbed songs into something strangely universal. In the end, it is probably that ability which makes his genius the most readily apparent.”– All Music
Little“Little served notice of Chesnutt’s singular gift for finding deep truths in the commonplace, and unfurled his affectionate embrace of the sad and funny foibles that comprise the bulk of our lives.”– No Depression
“The most elemental of any of Chesnutt’s albums.”– Pitchfork
Coming Soon Silver Lake“Chesnutt’s stories always strike an honest and recognizable emotional chord, no matter how oddball the situations that surround them.”– All Music
“Vic Chesnutt might never be famous, but his songs touch on inner truths that lurk around us. They strike something deep inside their listeners’ beings.”– Pop Matters
Ghetto Bells“These songs are ultimately and admirably patient and fluid, building not to grandiloquent climaxes but to a greater and greater complexity of meaning.” – Pitchfork
“The songs are all-encompassing. They sweep you up. They really get to you.”– Washington Post

THIS MARKS THE FIRST TIME THESE TWO LONG LOST EPS WILL BE RE-ISSUED ON ALL FORMATS (VINYL, CD, CASSETTE & DIGITAL)
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE PREVIEW OF PAUL COLLINS' TRACK "ALWAYS GOT YOU ON MY MIND" https://soundcloud.com/lolipoprecords/always-got-you-on-my-mind
THE KING OF POWER-POP KICKS-OFF SOLO EUROPEAN TOUR MAY 6TH IN FRANCE!Paul Collins' (from The Nerves, The Breakaways) two long lost EPs with his band The Beat from the early '80s make it to Lolipop Records as the first re-issue on all formats in over 30 years, from the "king of power pop" himself. To Beat Or Not To Beat was recorded in New York in 1983 at The Ranch with John Mathias (The Romantics) and Paul Collins/Steven Huff producing. It was released in the U.S. by Jem/Passport Records and then it was later released in Europe on Closer Records France and Dro Records Spain. The single "All Over The World" was featured regularly on KROQ in Los Angeles and got a lot of airplay in France and in Spain. Steve and Paul toured in Europe off that record for several years until they wound up in London where they recorded their follow-up EP Long Time Gone, just before returning to the States. Long Time Gone was released in 1985 on Closer France and Dro Spain, and both records were released as a two-fer on Wounded Bird Records in 2004. Paul recalls those days fondly, “I remember getting an $800 royalty check for 'All Over The World' when I was living in San Francisco so I went out and bought a used green Datsun B210! I would always hum 'All Over The World' as I drove up and down all those hills in SF!"

Plasmatics - Live! Rod Swenson's Lost Tapes 1978-81coming to DVD and VOD on May 19th
The rare Wendy O. Williams / Plasmatics live footage in this DVD has, in the main, never been released before.
During the early years Plasmatics creator Rod Swenson, who directed and shot all the Wendy O. / Plasmatics conceptual videos (AKA known for his footage of the Ramones, Dead Boys, Blondie, and Motorhead among others) shot numerous Plasmatics shows the footage from which was never edited or released. Except for some short excerpts most of it until the discovery of this footage was thought to be lost or degraded (shot on tape which has been shown as with audio tape to degrade over time).
Recently during the moving of WOW / Plasmatics archive material the footage here was found unlabeled in buried boxes. While much had degraded producer / director Randy Shooter was able to discover, relabel, and with additional editing and restoration, salvage the rare and remarkable footage in this DVD. A lot of it is raw (and much of the audio is the audio from ambient video deck mics, noise and all) but the energy and power is there straight through.
The material includes two tracks from CBGBs the first of which was among the first Plasmatics shows ever as well as other footage from benchmark shows.

Just got deluxe 2CD reissues of Uriah Heep's Look At Yourself, Demons and Wizards, and The Magician's Birthday in the mail. Remastered, with the second disc of each a shit-ton of supposedly previously unreleased alternate versions (not sure about that; the Castle remasters from the early 2000s had a ton of alternates, too, and realistically, how many could there actually be?). I'm waiting for the publicist to send me the 2CD versions of Very 'Eavy, Very 'Umble and Salisbury and then I'm gonna write a whole big thing about Uriah Heep for Burning Ambulance.

See Smog Veil site for more info, incl. orders:
Smog Veil Records is pleased to announce that the 2nd entry in our Platters du Cuyahoga series 2 releases, Allen Ravenstine's electronic sonata, "Terminal Drive" is now available for pre-order.
Terminal Drive is studio recording of a mythical piece of electro-acoustic music composed and performed in 1975 by Allen Ravenstine with assistance from Albert Dennis on string bass. Terminal Drive's significance in terms of Cleveland underground music cannot be understated and has been cited as partially responsible for Ravenstine's invitation to co-form the musical unit Pere Ubu in September 1975. Ravenstine gained recognition for his unusual and inventive synthesizer work in Pere Ubu, which he would also contribute to other groups such as Red Crayola and David Thomas & The Wooden Birds as well as his solo work.
Despite Terminal Drive's legendary status, it is a piece very few have heard in its complete state. Terminal Drive has never been officially released in its entirety and no complete recording of the piece could be located for many years. There have also been numerous inconsistencies as to what Terminal Drive's origins and sources were. The Pere Ubu box set Datapanik In The Year Zero (released on DGC in 1996) included a bonus disc of various Pere Ubu-related bands and projects - itself entitled Terminal Drive - that contains a 6:43 track called "Home Life" stated to have been extracted from Terminal Drive. This excerpt was all the world would hear of this fabled yet somewhat mysterious piece of music...until now.
The origins of Terminal Drive lie within the Cleveland band Hy Maya, which was centered around multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Robert Bensick, working most prominently and consistently with synthesist Ravenstine, bassist Albert Dennis, and drummer Scott Krauss. Despite playing only a handful of gigs, Hy Maya's purely experimental and highly improvisational nature working within the contexts of art rock and electronica were unlike anything that Clevelanders - used to the likes of Dragonwyck, Glass Harp, Left End, and Raspberries - had never really seen or heard before. Hy Maya, perhaps unconsciously, built upon the wilder aspects of Tonto's Expanding Headband, parts of the 1969 album An Electric Storm by White Noise, and the Sun Ra Arkestra, as well as the collective improvisation methodology of Oregon, prefiguring elements of the industrial music scene that Pere Ubu would later have considerable influence upon.
The single-sided LP is pressed on red vinyl and includes extensive liner notes written by Nick Blakey and never before published photos along with a free download card.

Alice ColtraneWorld Spirituality Classics 1: The Ecstatic Music of Alice Coltrane TuriyasangitanandaLUAKA BOP
**Shipping this Friday**
Essential Alice Coltrane recordings issued for the first time on vinyl by Luaka Bop!
Alice Coltrane was a legendary pianist, composer, spiritual leader, and the wife of John Coltrane, the most venerated and influential saxophonist in the history of jazz. In 1967, four years after meeting John, he died of liver cancer, leaving Alice a widow with four small children. Bereft of her soul mate, Alice suffered sleepless nights and severe weight loss. At her worst, she weighed only 95 pounds. She had hallucinations in which trees spoke, various beings existed on astral planes, and the sounds of “a planetary ether” spun through her brain, knocking her into a frightening unconsciousness.
The critical event of this period was not that Alice fell into the nadir of her existence, but rather that she experienced tapas, a vital period of trial. These tapas (a Sanskrit term she used to describe her suffering) helped prepare Alice for the spiritual ally she found in Swami Satchidananda, an Indian guru, with whom Alice made her first trip to India. On her second trip there, Alice had a revelation instructing her to abandon the secular life and become a spiritual teacher in the Hindu tradition – so she moved out West – eventually opening the Shanti Anantam Ashram on 47 acres she’d bought in Agoura Hills, California.
Music was the foundation of Alice’s spiritual practice. From the mid 1980’s to mid 1990’s, Alice Coltrane self-released four brilliant cassette albums. These cassettes contained a music she invented, inspired by the gospel music of the Detroit churches she grew up in, mixed together with the Indian devotional music of her religious practice, and even finds Alice singing for the first time in her recorded catalog. Originally only made available through her ashram, they are her most obscure body of work and possibly the greatest reflection of her soul.
“World Spirituality Classics 1: The Ecstatic Music of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda”, is the first-ever compilation of her recordings from this period, making these songs available to the wider public - well played Luaka Bop!
This First Pressing includes two extra booklets of essays, photos, stories and a hand painted first pressing stamp - Don't sleep!

Like Nashville In Naija: Nigeria's Romance with Country Music, Yesterday and TodayCOMB & RAZOR SOUND
Country music is big in Africa. Yes, we realise how absurd that probably sounds to most ears, but it’s really true: American country & western records have been tremendously popular and deeply beloved across the continent for almost a century. The people of the West African nation of Nigeria have long been not only voracious consumers of country music, but fairly enthusiastic performers of it as well. Cowboy songs have remained a consistent part of most bands’ live repertoire, but relatively few artists have dedicated themselves to actually recording country music. They did exist, though; mostly in the1970s and 80s, but they were rarely heard outside the country, and in the intervening years, most of their output has fallen through the cracks of posterity, forgotten even by ardent music fans at home. Until now. Like Nashville in Naija: Nigeria’s Romance with Country Music, Yesterday and Today collects some of the best country recordings as a loving tribute to Nigeria’s cowboy troubadours of yore. To the best of our knowledge, only in Nigeria.More Info, Audio: https://soundsoftheuniverse.com/product/various-like-nashville-in-naija

Hudson MohawkeDedsec - Watch Dogs 2 OST (RSD 2017)WARP RECORDS
2LP in printed inners in 5mm spine sleeve, download card insert. First time on vinyl. Following the maximalist hymns of 2015’s Lantern, HudMo once again proves his versatility, applying his signature style to the soundtrack of Ubisoft’s video game Watch Dogs 2. Cinematic melodies are at the heart of his 15 original compositions, bringing the action adventure’s open world to life. Between the gothic minor chord progression of Haum Sweet Haum and the playful glistening reverie of Balance, the Glaswegian producer has a real talent for conjuring a wide set of moods to fit different scenarios. The thick bass lines and syncopated rhythms of tracks like Eye For An Eye allude to his more beat-focussed earlier work. Yet, the intricacy of the percussion throughout sets this soundtrack apart from his albums and EPs – showing HudMo progress to the next level.More Info: https://soundsoftheuniverse.com/product/hudson-mohawke-dedsec-watch-dogs-2-ost

Smog Veil November newsletter:
The 3rd and last entry in the Platters du Cuyahoga series 2 releases offers to fans of Cleveland underground rock, private press aficionados, and electronic/prog/improvisational music devotees the first ever glimpse into the much mythologized but never before released in any form 1972-1973 studio and live recordings of Hy Maya.
The experimental Cleveland musical collective Hy Maya was first conceived and visualized by Robert Bensick [The Robert Bensick Band/Fins/Berlin West], in the Spring of 1972 as a performance piece debuting at Robert's Cleveland State University artist of the year show. The group's core members included drummer/percussionist Scott Krauss [Pere Ubu/Home & Garden/Cinderella Backstreet], synthesist Allen Ravenstine [Pere Ubu/Red Crayola], and electric and acoustic bassist Albert Dennis [Cinderella Backstreet/Wolves]. Pianist Bob Friedhofer [Froggy & the Shrimps], conga player/percussionist Richard Schneider, and Mellotron player Cynthia Black [Cinderella Backstreet/Peter & the Wolves] also contributed significantly to the collective at various times.
Hy Maya created sounds that were heavily driven by an artistic and spiritual foundation and were undeniable and pivotal influence upon Pere Ubu (and, for that matter, related bands that came in between such as the aforementioned Fins and The Robert Bensick Band). Hy Maya were usually namechecked as a mere footnote in Ubu's pre-history despite the fact that two of Hy Maya's members (Ravenstine and Krauss) would go on to co-form Pere Ubu in September 1975. Few had witnessed Hy Maya perform; fewer remembered them or even knew who or what they had been, sadly a re-occurring issue for influential artists who languish in obscurity due to limited available information.
"The Mysticism of Sound & Cosmic Language" is an attempt to right these wrongs and to give as much of a complete portrait of Hy Maya in its various incarnations as possible. While portions of the group's history are still somewhat uncertain in regards to timelines, the discovery of numerous live and studio recordings with a variety of Hy Maya's line-ups tells the story of the group's progression in a way, perhaps, that is much closer to the band's overall intent and philosophy. The recordings captured on this release have never before been issued and represent a landmark in the history of Cleveland underground music. A perfect accompaniment to both our recent Allen Ravenstine release* as this record includes Allen's earliest studio recordings and Robert Bensick Band's "French Pictures In London" as many of the musicians performing on that record also perform on this.
This double LP is pressed on stunning blue marbled vinyl and includes a free download code with bonus tracks and extensive liner notes from Nick Blakey along with never before published photos. The double CD version contains all the same tracks plus the same liners and photos. More information, song streams, and ordering information can be found here:https://www.smogveil.com/collections/frontpage/products/hy-maya-the-mysticism-of-sound-cosmic-language-double-lp*More on Ravenstine's (w Albert Dennis) Terminal Drive:https://www.smogveil.com/collections/frontpage/products/allen-ravenstine-terminal-drive-lp

Finally got the Jazz Butcher - Wasted Years box in the mail. Nice little hardcover book. However, in the liner notes, Pat Fish admits that Distressed Gentlefolk (1986) is short on good songs because the best ones were being put out at singles. To mention that, yet give no indication if those will ever be reissued, is perverse. I guess that's one expects from the world's most semi-competent band.

King CrimsonEarthbound - 40th Anniversary EditionBoz Burrell: Vocals, Bass Robert Fripp: Guitar, MellotronMel Collins: Saxes, Flute Ian Wallace: DrumsEarthbound, originally released in 1972, was one of the earliest (if not the first) “official bootleg” released by a major rock band, consisting of a series of deliberately lo-fi live recordings of King Crimson’s Islands era line-up on tour in the USA. When issued, because of its mid-price it was excluded from the main album charts in the UK but topped the mid-price charts rubbing shoulders with Jim Reeves & Mantovani. Atlantic in the USA didn’t even bother to release it. By then, the band had broken up & the label had already been alerted to the likelihood of a new King Crimson line-up promised for later in the year. Like the later live album, USA, Earthbound remained unavailable in the early CD era, with both finally being released in 2002 on CD. Ironically this non-availability served to enhance interest in the album while DGM’s live releases made fans aware that there was a larger story to be told of this line-up’s history. When Robert Fripp was asked to guest on the second Grinderman project, Nick Cave noted: “I wanted to work with Robert Fripp because he has done some of the most uniquely unsettling guitar work I have ever heard along with some of the most delicate and finessed” explained Cave. “I grew up listening to a lot of the King Crimson stuff. The vinyl copy of the phenomenal live album Earthbound, is one of my most treasured possessions.” The new version of Earthbound features an expanded version of the original album on CD & DVD. As a series of stereo only/low-fi recordings, a 5.1 edition was neither possible nor appropriate. However, also included on the DVD of this release is the full performance from Summit Studios, captured on the same US tour in 1972, appearing in both new stereo & quadraphonic mixes, providing the only live surround recordings of this line-up. This release also features 15 minutes of material not included on the original mail order only CD of Summit studios as issued by DGM in 2000. The DVD also features the “Schizoid Men” sequence from the Ladies of the Road live album & a transfer of a 1972 vinyl edition of the Earthbound LP.• Earthbound – is the twelfth release in the acclaimed King Crimson 40th anniversary series. • The album has been expanded ON CD & DVD• CD features an expanded 12 track version of the original 5 track album.• DVD features the 12 track expanded album in 24/96 hi-res stereo audio.• DVD also features the Summit Studios performance in a new stereo mix & in quadraphonic.This is the only surviving multi-track performance from the 1972 tour.• DVD features the album length “Schizoid Men” sequence of edits of 21st Century Schizoid Men taken from the Ladies of The Road live album• A transfer of the original vinyl album completes the audio selections.• Presented as a 2 x digi-pack format in a slipcase with new sleeve notes by King Crimson biographer Sid Smith along with rare photos & archive material.• Continues the highly collectable King Crimson series.

Tompkins Square label has reissued Meredith Monk's groundbreaking 1971 debut album, Key. Pitchfork named it "Best New Reissue" (8.7)
BUY LP
Composer, singer, director/choreographer, creator of new opera, musical theater works, films and installations, Meredith Monk is one of the most unique and influential artists of our time. Awarded a National Medal of Arts by President Obama in 2015, Monk has blazed her own trail through music and movement over the past 50 years. Pitchfork noted : "Meredith Monk's influence as a singer and composer extends through Björk, Joanna Newsom and beyond."
Key contains Monk's earliest compositions for voice, composed and performed from 1967-1970. In her words:"In Key I wanted to create a constantly shifting ambience. Each song dealt with a different vocal character, landscape, technical concern or emotional quality. I was trying for a visceral, kinetic song form that had the abstract qualities of a painting or a dance. I knew that I didn't want to set music to a text: for me, the voice itself was a language which seemed to speak more eloquently than words. I chose certain phonemes for their particular sound qualities. In a sense, each song became a world in itself with its own timbre, texture and impulse."
The Tompkins Square reissue faithfully reproduces the original 1971 LP on Increase Records, with textured cover and original insert images and notes.
TSQ5371 - Tompkins Square is distributed by INgrooves and Revolver in NA, Cargo UK for Europe.xgau:Dolmen Music [ECM, 1980]Monk has classical voice training, but I expect it was her folk and rock experience that taught her how to make these almost wordless songs sound so demotic, so literally unrefined--they obviously don't merely "express" emotion, but they don't merely distill it either. On record, the ostinato structures mean that the four shorter pieces composed between 1972 and 1975 come across better than the title work, which lasts 23:39 and features six voices with intermittent accompaniment. But anybody who wants to go further than Lora Logic and Pere Ubu will listen to it all. A-

Been listening to the U-Men s/t anthology on Sub Pop a lot lately, highly recommended if you like scabrous Birthday Party/Grong Grong/Bloodloss style blues-garage-punk-abilly.

+1. I'd heard a lot of the U-Men stuff at the time, but totally kind of forgot about 'em. Sort of a missing link between BP/Scientists and Gun Club/Scratch Acid. Great comp.

Deutsche Elektronische Musik 3Experimental German Rock and Electronic Music 1971-81Soul Jazz Records
Available worldwide in all good retail and internet record stores this Fri 1 Dec or direct from us right now! Buy the 3xLP and get a free limited edition poster (direct from us only here). Buy the 2xCD and get a free limited edition badge (direct from us only here).
This latest instalment in Soul Jazz Records’ successful Deutsche Elektronische Musik series delves deeper into the German nation’s vaults to bring a fascinating new collection that again brings together a selection of classic German electronic and rock groups, including Neu!, Cluster, Popol Vuh, La Düsseldorf, Agitation Free, alongside a host of rare tracks by lesser known artists which includes Michael Bundt, Bröselmaschine, Dronsz, Achim Reichel and others.
The music of Deutsche Elektronische Musik 3 ranges from the introverted pastoralism of Hans Joachim Roedelius and Bröselmaschine, to the angular and futuristic electronic experimentations of Klauss Weiss, Pyrolator, Deuter, Michael Bundt and others, to the proto-punk of La Düsseldorf and the heavy space, progressive and cosmic rock of Missus Beastly, Niagara and Dyzan.
The music on Deutsche Elektronische Musik 3 was all recorded in the 1970s up to the early 1980s, at a time when forward-thinking German electronic and rock groups were searching for a new musical identity in order to separate themselves from both the cultural legacy of post-world war two Germany as well the ‘cultural imperialism’ of USA and UK rock. In this process German groups created some of the most unique and inspired music, the defining motorik beat alongside a host of ethno-musical influences from far afield – including Turkey, India, Brazil – as well as the musical and futurist possibilities of developments in electronics and technology itself.
Deutsche Elektronische Musik 3 is released as a heavyweight 3xLP, deluxe double CD pack and digital release. The new extensive sleevenotes are by David Stubbs, who is the author of the acclaimed book, ‘Future Days: Krautrock and the Building of Modern Germany’ (Faber & Faber).

I got the Rhino deluxe 2 disc master of Richard Hell & the Voidoids - Blank Generation which was only available in b&m stores for Black Friday. It's inexplicably missing "I'm Your Man," "All The Way," and the Ork single of "Blank Generation," even though it has the other track, "Another World." However, the liner notes are nice, and I just added the missing tracks to my flac folder, shrug.

PET SHOP BOYS ANNOUNCE THE THIRD SET OF RELEASES INCATALOGUE: 1985-2012, THE LANDMARK SERIES OF REISSUESOF THEIR PARLOPHONE STUDIO ALBUMS
The Albums Please, Actually And Introspective Are Remastered AndReissued With "Further Listening" Albums Of Additional AndPreviously Unreleased Material
Reissues Out March 2 From Rhino
LOS ANGELES - Pet Shop Boys will release the third set of albums in their definitive CATALOGUE: 1985-2012 series of reissues of all their Parlophone studio albums. This third set sees the PSB albums Please from 1986, Actually from 1987 and 1988's Introspective, and will be reissued on March 2. The albums have been remastered and repackaged, and will be accompanied by "further listening" albums of master quality bonus tracks - including demos, extended mixes and remixes of tracks from the albums and others created in the same period as each record.
The three albums will be packaged with an extensive booklet in which Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe discuss each song, illustrated with many archive photographs. The entire project is designed by Farrow.
Please was the debut album by Pet Shop Boys and produced by Stephen Hague. Released in March 1986, the album hit Billboard's Top Ten, was certified Platinum, and has sold over three million copies worldwide. Comprising of ten tracks in its original release, the album's track-listing includes the duo's debut single "West End Girls" - PSB's first number one single in the USA. Singles "Love Comes Quickly," "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money)" and "Suburbia" are also featured on Please. The CATALOGUE: 1985-2012 re-issue of the album features a remastered and repackaged vinyl and double CD, featuring 7" and 12" mixes and remixes of tracks from Please and the album's period.
In 1987, Pet Shop Boys released their second album Actually. The album was produced by Julian Mendelsohn, Stephen Hague, Shep Pettibone, Andy Richards and Pet Shop Boys. This period saw Pet Shop Boys reach new critical and commercial heights and included singles, "It's A Sin," "Always On My Mind And Heart," and "What Have I Done To Deserve This," their single featuring Dusty Springfield which climbed to number two on the US singles chart. The CATALOGUE: 1985-2012 re-issue of Actually includes the remastered original album, with the 2-CD version featuring bonus material including the Shep Pettibone mix of "Heart," and demo versions and alternative mixes of tracks including "One More Chance" and "Always On My Mind."
Also remastered, repackaged and re-issued as part of the CATALOGUE: 1985-2012 is Pet Shop Boys' 1988 release Introspective. This album has sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide to date and was the first to feature production by Trevor Horn, whose lavish orchestrations marked a new sonic direction for PSB. House music legend Frankie Knuckles created the mix of "I Want A Dog," while "Domino Dancing" was recorded in Miami with hit producer Lewis Martinée. Introspective also saw Pet Shop Boys introduce a new approach to the format of an album and its respective singles: each of the 6 tracks on the album's original track-listing is over six minutes in length, and they were later edited to fit the more traditional format of a seven-inch single. The CATALOGUE: 1985-2012 re-issue features, along with the newly-remastered original album, bonus material such as demo versions of "Don Juan" and "Domino Dancing," seven-inch and disco mixes of "Losing My Mind" and "Left To My Own Devices."
The CATALOGUE: 1985-2012 reissue series began earlier this year on July 28 with the release of Nightlife, Release, and Fundamental, followed by re-issues of Yes and Elysium, which were released on October 20. The series will continue until all PSB Parlophone albums have been released with "further listening" albums:
Behaviour/Further listening: 1990-1991Very/Further listening: 1992-1994Bilingual/Further listening: 1995-1997
The reissues of Please, Actually, Introspective, Behaviour, Very, and Bilingual were originally released with bonus "further listening" albums in 2001 and are being newly remastered with their original track-listings for these projects.
