Magic Fire, out August 19th on Yep Roc Records, shines with striking immediacy and
conviction. Over the course of two critically acclaimed albums - Best Medicine (Yep Roc,
2014) and The Stray Birds (2012) - the band has sharpened their poetic eye against our
turbulent landscape of humanity - and the resilient landscape of our human hearts.
Straddling north and south (Maya and Oliver reside in Nashville, TN and Charlie in the
band's hometown of Lancaster, PA), the band retreated to the Hudson Valley of upstate
New York in December 2015 to bring the new collection of songs to life.

They assembled inside a converted horse barn with Grammy-award-winning producer
Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm) and engineer Justin Guip. The acoustic trio
embraced the songs' calls for electric guitar, pedal steel, and keys. The band was also
joined in the studio- and now on the road - by Eau Claire, Wisconsin musician Shane
Leonard (drums/percussion/vocals) and his undeniably inventive rhythmic undercurrent.

Special Stand Alone release from 2014s 5 LP set Scott The Hoople In Dungeon of Horror
Many special guests, including members of R.E.M. and The Smithereens,
plus Laura Gibson as The Girl
“2016 marks the 50th anniversary of The Monkees, the band that wasn't really a band
when they started (yes, they were the Prefab Four before The Rutles), but became one,
and in the process have reached legendary status, with a catalogue of music that rightly
deserves the attention it has got over the years.
I was eleven years old when I first heard Last Train To Clarksville and I became a lifelong
fan in that moment. A few years ago I gathered like-minded Minus 5 cohorts for Of
Monkees & Men, and, starting with the surreal 10-minute epic Michael Nesmith , we
crafted a song for each member, as well as one for Boyce & Hart, the duo that wrote and
produced many classic Monkees tracks. Side Two of the LP eulogizes other important
figures in that roam my psyche, naming names and proudly so. Its not a musical
documentary by any means - but it pays real tribute to people who heavily influenced my
life and music.” - Scott McCaughey / The Minus 5

'Motorcade Amnesiacs' cements Sweet Billy Pilgrim as one of Britain's greatest cult
bands. 'Motorcade Amnesiacs' will be released as a 2CD Media book with limited edition
bonus disc with 3 brand new bonus tracks including a remix of Steven Wilson
'Insurgentes' and the near 15 minute ‘Grove Ponies’ with a 24 page colour booklet.
'Motorcade Amnesiacs' follows on from their critically acclaimed album 'Crown and
Treaty', which was awarded a coveted five stars by Mojo and featured as Album Of The
Week in The Sunday Times and its Mercury Music Prize-nominated predecessor 'Twice
Born Men' released on David Sylvian's Samadhi Sound label.
Not ones to respect musical boundaries, Sweet Billy Pilgrim have thrown every ounce of
their belief and passion into the genre spanning excellence of 'Motorcade Amnesiacs', an
album of adventurously inspired melodies, intertwining riffs and eclectic rhythms,
heavenly harmonies and thought-provoking lyrics.
The first radio single 'Just Above Midtown' saw the band fuse their pop sensibilities with
swaggering rock groove. 'Longstreth' showcases guitarist & songwriter Tim Elsenburg's
dynamic song writing ability, mixing beautiful harmonies with pounding guitar riffs, the
groove-led 'We Just Did What Happened And Nobody Came' lodges firmly in the memory
long after it ends and 'Tyrekickers', revels in co-vocalist Jana Carpenters heart-worn tones.

disc. This new 2 disc version being released through Madfish in a deluxe media book has
recordings remastered from the original master tapes with a bonus disc of the band's
highest UK charting single 1971's single 'In My Own Time' and B side 'Seasons'.
The 16 page booklet includes new sleeve notes by Family expert Pete Feenstra , with press
cuttings and memorabilia supplied by Dave Eames & Trevor Gardiner, including the
original ad promoting the album in the UK press.
Growing out of the R&B boom of the early 60s, Family's sound evolved into a unique mix
of progressive rock, blues, folk, jazz, psychedelia and high energy rock n roll built around
the distinctive vocals of frontman Roger Chapman, Charlie Whitney's innovative guitar
playing and Rob Townsend's thunderous drumming. During their seven year career Family
released eight albums, scoring 4 hit singles and seven chart albums.
Regarded by many fans and critics as the band's finest album, 'Fearless' was originally
released in 1971 and entered the UK chart at #14. The album also gave the band its first

ROCK
The debut Kscope album from Jethro Tull frontman now at mid-price.
In 2012 Ian Anderson released 'Thick As A Brick 2', the follow-up to Jethro Tull's legendary
concept album. The album was a critical and commercial success, charting around the
world. In April he returned with 'Homo Erraticus'.
The original 'Thick As A Brick ' album, released in 1972, was based around the poem of
disgraced child prodigy Gerald Bostock. For 'Homo Erraticus' Anderson is reunited with
Bostock, using lyrics written by Gerald based on an old historical manuscript. The
manuscript examines key events from throughout British history before going on to offer a
number of prophecies for the future.
Suitably dramatised and exaggerated by Bostock as metaphors for modern life, he
presented Anderson with ideas for 15 songs, which have now been set to music. The result
is 'Homo Erraticus'.

A good record is the cure for a bad day. You might be down on your luck, up the creek
or on the skids - but it's clinically impossible to stay depressed when Si Cranstoun's
Old School plays. In a monochrome world, this album is a spring-heeled burst of
technicolor soul, scattering your worries and shaking your feet.

Si has already been dubbed "the king of vintage" by The Express and enjoyed rave
endorsements from influential DJs like the late Terry Wogan and Chris Evans ("How
good is Si Cranstoun?"). Now, released in 2016 on Ruf Records, Old School ups the ante,
with Si setting the controls for the golden era and tipping his hat to formative influences
like Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke and Big Joe Turner. "When it comes to taste," he says,
"it's '40s, '50s, '60s all the way."
While Old School's stylings are unashamedly retro, this album's time is unmistakably
now, driven by the original songcraft and acclaimed vocals of a bandleader who's given
the vintage scene fresh impetus.
Old School defies you not to dance. You'll be pulled onto the floor by the plinking piano
and parping brass of the title track. You'll stay there for Vegas Baby, which bottles all
the sticky thrills of a night on the Sin City Strip, complete with Reet Petite-style rolled
syllables. Si nods: "That's me having melodic and lyrical fun with the blues."
Bottling his irrepressible showmanship and spitting out the best songs of his career, the
album promises to take Si Cranstoun from cult hero to kingpin, and spread the joy
across the planet. "I'd just love Old School to be heard by as many people as possible,"
says the bandleader. "And when we take this album out on the road, we'll all be out to
bring the house down..."
Apart from his own U.K. tou dates, Si Cranstoun will be on tour with Ruf Records' Blues
Caravan 2017. More info to follow soon.

Golden Age meets us at the intersection of nostalgia and the future, and holds out a hand.
It pulls us back into a moment, and asks us stay there even as our hyperactive minds
push to race ahead.
Staples notes, "It's really easy to idealize an earlier time in your life, but it's not useful. It can be a
trap that keeps you from finding new good things to live for. Golden Age is about that myth we
carry around. The myth of our past being idyllic. I don't want to waste any more time dwelling on
it."

This 10th Anniversary reissue marks the first time Barsuk has released the album on LP format,
and the first time it’s been pressed on high-quality 180-gram vinyl with a newly designed
gatefold sleeve.
Over the course of the last 15 years, Rocky Votolato has produced some of the most powerful
music to come out of Seattle, an impressive canon anchored by earnest, lyrical songwriting, and
delivered in a unique indie-folk-punk style that has evolved out of the Pacific Northwest music
scene he was raised in. He has matured over the course of eight increasingly accomplished solo
albums, and writes songs that seem to have been scratched into a boxcar wall by a worn-out and
lonesome ghost.

From down the end of Los Angeles, the barebones gravepunk duo Band Aparte strips down and
combines elements of gothic rock, synthpunk, and beachy lo-fi as macabré appreciation
simmers in the gut of the city.
Vocalist Brian Mendoza effortlessly channels Joy Division and Nick Cave, crooning into a death
bouquet with his shirt unbuttoned. But he's not doing it to imitate Morrissey's aesthetic - Band
Aparte's shows are fast and fierce, and the crowd works up a sweat at every venue they play.
It's a dangerous mixture that has crushed nights alongside such bands as Cruelty Code, Roses,
Ghost Noise, and Terminal A.

Big Eyes, the brainchild of Kait Eldridge, is a band that has spent its career successfully defying
classification. They're a punk band with pop sensibilities; they're a power pop group with a
hard rock edge. Big Eyes are different things to different people, and yet have always felt
ultimately content cemented "in-between" the scenes.
Stake My Claim, the band's third full length, was recorded throughout the fall and winter of 2015.
It opens with their heaviest song to date, the title track, which sets a tone of Kait at a crossroad:
"'Cause nothing stays the same / stake my claim." Her lyrics are centered around dissatisfaction
and a need for change. Throughout the entirety of Big Eyes' discography, there is an undercurrent
of sadness and frustration, but within Stake My Claim, Kait has found a sense of acceptance.

ROCK
Video Age is a New Orleans-based duo, taking inspiration from late 70s and 80s new wave.
Multi-instrumentalists Ross Farbe and Ray Micarelli bring classic guitar-driven pop
together with synthetic sounds and a mechanical feel to create upbeat music with dark,
gritty undertones.
On their debut LP, Living Alone, timeless rock and roll forms were deconstructed and built back
up with synthesizers and drum machines, giving the record a sharp, grid-like tone. Much of the
album was conceptualized during the summer of 2015 while Farbe was living alone in a sparse
neighbourhood by the train tracks. It was a beautiful shell of a house with no insulation, missing
windowpanes, and rain always leaking in,” said the lead singer and guitarist. “Being alone for that
long you start to see yourself clearly. But I never felt completely alone because the walls were so
thin.

First time on CD! New England duo Have A Nice Life describe their sound as "Depressive PostIndustrial Doomgaze" - a designation as good as any for a group that seamlessly brings together
the disparate tones of shoegaze, sludge, post-punk, metal, industrial, and just about every
outré genre there is.
Not content with merely bending and blending genres to their will, Dan Barrett and Tim Macuga
have created a sound that is immediate and essential and uniquely theirs, in the process
garnering a rabid cult following. The Unnatural World is the follow up to Have a Nice Life's cult
classic 2009 debut, Deathconsciousness.
The Unnatural World is the band's long awaited follow-up and sees them eschew the length of
their debut in favour of concision and focused songs, without sacrificing what makes them
unique. Have a Nice Life's Dan and Tim are also the co-founders and curators of the antiestablishment imprint Enemies List Home Recordings.

ROCK
A sincere, philological and experimental thanksgiving to Frank Zappa. Not merely a tribute
concert or live-concept. A monographic work, accurate in its theatrical and scenographic
details, an entertaining opportunity for everybody to know and rediscover Zappa's universe.
The show is also an emotional and instinctive performance, an exquisite and tasty selection from
Zappa's works which will lead us to gorge on his discography, stodgy dishes included. Working on
Zappa's music has always been a project in embryo. Thanks to Roberto Gatto all this came true.
Gatto, outstanding star of Italian and international jazz with renowned career, since forever
harboring an unrestrained passion for Zappa, invited Quintorigo to bring about this beautiful idea
together. Thankful and eager the band accepted. Coming out soon the album "Around Zappa".
The CD playlist begins with instrumentals such as Uncle Meat and Peaches En Regalia. Moris
Pradella joins the band singing Cosmik Debris, Don't Eat The Yellow Snow, Lucille Has Messed My
Mind Up, King Kong, Big Swifty, Igor's Boogie, Village Of The Sun. The beautiful Uncle Remus is
introduced by the violin of Andrea Costa while Gionata Costa at the cello leads the melanchonic
Black Napkins, making good use of effects to convey the charisma of an electric guitar enriched by
the expressiveness of the cello. And an end with a bang, playing Echidna's Arf (Of You) and Zomby
Woof.
With Roberto Gatto, Quintorigo prove once again themselves distinguished musicians, gaining
without reserve the passionate audience's approval. "Around Zappa" is not to be missed by
Zappa's fans and recommended for everyone.

Real Gone Music is very proud to present this key live document of one of America's
most beloved and distinctive New Wave groups on CD for the first time, complete

Best to let the band itself describe this live album, which is only the second B-52's
concert recording and the only one to capture them during their early years: "We
opened for the Talking Heads at the Berklee Center in Boston just six weeks after our
first record was released. We were a little scared of the audience so we kept our heads
down and focused – and we danced like mad when there was a break! Ricky was so
fierce on the guitar – so intense – it was all so raw and live and we loved it."

With the release of Fanny's 1973 album Mother's Pride, Real Gone Music concludes its
reissue campaign of the groundbreaking female rock group's classic Reprise catalogue.
And while there might be some argument as to whether or not we have saved the
best for last, there is no question that we have saved the biggest for last, as this
expanded edition clocks in with no less than eight bonus tracks!
Indeed, Mother's Pride is perhaps the most controversial entry in the Fanny catalogue,
as Todd Rundgren agreed to produce the album on the condition that he and he alone
oversee the album mix. The result was a record that cemented Fanny's popularity in the
U.K. but failed to make a dent in the charts here in the States. Like our previous Fanny
reissues, this release features track-by-track annotation from the band as well as rare
photos. Another seminal '70s rock record from everybody's favorite "forgotten" allfemale rock group, supplemented with rare demos and lost tracks!

DHARMA
FOLK
Multi award winning contemporary folk duo Jackie Oates and Megan Henwood meld
together their love of storytelling, songwriting and melody with their voices and acoustic
instruments, resulting in a fresh sound that combines both reworked traditional folk
song with original and contemporary material.
Their individual musical backgrounds are quite different yet their voices blend effortlessly,
sensitively backed by viola, guitar, sometimes piano and the accomplished double bass
player Pete Thomas.
The three met at Nettlebed Folk Club in Oxfordshire, already admiring one another's work
- they began playing music together shortly after and both Jackie and Pete contributed
heavily on Megan's last album 'Head Heart Hand'. Since then they have been working
together on new material and experimenting with arranging traditional and contemporary
songs to fit their musical vision. Working with producers Pete Brown and Tom Excell they
have recorded a 5 track EP entitled 'Wings' which features their haunting adaption of
Brain Bedford's poignant song 'What's The Use Of Wings?'.
The three have a relaxed and engaging connection onstage - two very different singers
combine their voices sinuously, telling stories in song, gracefully blending their
instruments to produce a mellifluous and sometimes melancholic soundscape.
The girls will be out on tour with bass player Pete Thomas with selected dates through July
to September including a special launch gig at St Pancras Old Church on August 25. Other
dates still tbc. but include Oxford Folk Weekend and Whitby and Yarm Festivals.
Tracks:Love Vigilantes / Bettystown / What's The Use Of Wings? / Setting Of The Sun /

CD
REAL GONE MUSIC
FOLK
The New Christy Minstrels' classic Ramblin' album has long been considered that
great group's creative high water work. Released in July of 1963, the album instantly
made the charts and stayed there for 77 weeks, earning founder Randy Sparks and his
group their first Gold Record…and bringing fame and a little "Green, Green" to one
Barry McGuire.
Now in an expanded edition loaded with rare material (including six unreleased tracks)
related to the album! You'll hear the creation of "Green, Green" – the group's biggest
hit – in unreleased versions that feature members Dolan Ellis, Jackie Miller, and Gayle
Caldwell (later "Jackie and Gayle" of Shindig fame), with Barry McGuire on only the
third verse. It's a great arrangement, very different from the hit single…and a MUST
HAVE for every Christy fan. Plus, you'll hear the German and Spanish versions of the hit
recorded just after (future Byrd) Gene Clark joined the group. PLUS…an unreleased
"live" version recorded at Randy Sparks' folk club Ledbetter's and a "gag" version with a
solo by Randy himself (teasing his group).
And, there's more…you'll hear the brilliant Nick Woods' amazing solo of "Natural Man"
– originally intended to be the follow up single to "Green, Green." Those plans were set
aside when Randy came up with a little number called "Saturday Night"… which had
"hit" written all over it. And, it was! Both songs are here…along with "The Banjo" (the
B-side of "Green, Green"), "Walk the Road", an unreleased version of "The Drinking
Gourd," and – most rare of all — a demo of "Last Farewell" (JFK's favorite Christy song)
with a pop arrangement featuring a terrific solo by Randy Sparks himself.

HANGVETO
FOLK
Virtuoso variations of Félix Lajkó on folk themes for violin and zither with
extraordinary singers.
Félix Lajkó's music draws richly from the music traditions that influenced his everyday
life from childhood. This means the folk music of his native Voivodina region which
includes also Hungarian, Gypsy, and even Romanian folk music. On this record entitled
"Most jöttem/ I just arrived" we hear virtuoso variations on folk themes for violin and
zither with extraordinary singers such as Bea Palya, Gabriella Tintér and Anna
Csizmadia, and musicians such as László Porteleki, Antal Brasnyó and Gergo Szabó
Csobán.
'Félix Lajkó Folk' debuted as a formation in February 2015 during the Félix Lajkó
Marathon event at Budapest's Palace of the Arts celebrating Felix's 40th birthday. Since
then, the material has continued to develop over the course of several memorable
concerts and has now been released by Fonó.

Júlia Kubinyi is a folk singer who won Hungary's title of 'Young Master of Folk Arts' in
2012 and the Junior Prima Award in 2013. Many know her as one of the finalists in
the 2012 Páva Folk Talent Contest broadcast on Hungarian TV. Since 2008 she has
been the Ensemble's singer.
Now her own singing work comes to the forefront with her first solo recording:
Magam Járom – On My Way.
Hungarian folk music and folk dance have been part of her everyday life since she was a
child. She grew up performing and has appeared on numerous recordings, at festivals in
Hungary and abroad, and in Hungarian folk song competitions.
She is a member of the generation that could study folk singing already in elementary
school within the framework of the music schools. She learned from her own mother
who taught singing at the music school in Salgótarján, Hungary.
She has been a student of those dedicated to Hungary's dance house movement – the
ones that started the movement and keep it alive today, and whose music and song
provide an example for young folk artists just spreading their wings.

FELMAY
FOLK
The Northern Breeze is the debut solo album of Italian flute and whistle player Michel Balatti,
driving force of bands such as Birkin Tree and Liguriani. The core of the album repertoire is Irish
music, from traditional tunes to a selection of reels, jigs and slow airs by some of the
predominant contemporary composers within the tradition.
The album features Scottish guitarist Michael Bryan, multi instrumentalist Fabio Biale on most
tracks. Guest appearances by Irish flute player and singer Nuala Kennedy, Irish concertina player
Caitlin Nic Gabhann and harpist Elena Spotti. Simple artistic production and minimalistic
arrangements were chosen to highlight the strength of the melodies and the expressiveness of
Balatti's flute playing.
"I've had the great pleasure of performing on stage many times with Michel Balatti over the
years. He is a fine flute player with a thorough understanding of the style and repertoire in Irish
music. His flute playing sounds as authentically Irish as the best playing you might expect to hear
in co. Clare or Sligo. This is a beautifully arranged and produced recording". - Martin Hayes

John Beasley –
Presents MONK'estra, Volume 1

CD
£8.49
MACK AVENUE
JAZZ
John Beasley has shared stages with some of the most important names in jazz during his threedecade career. From his days as a member of Freddie Hubbard's quintet and one of Miles Davis'
last touring bands to his role as Music Director for Jazz Day galas for the Thelonious Monk
Institute, Beasley has had a first-hand involvement with the genre's never-ending evolution.
Thelonious Monk is a Mount Rushmore figure in the creation of modern jazz. As the centennial of
his birth rapidly approaches, Beasley - pianist, conductor and arranger - has grappled with the
complex composer's legacy with his versatile big band riffing on the wit and unmistakable
architecture of the Monk songbook with irrepressible energy and swinging abandon.
MONK'estra, Volume 1 has its roots in a commission from Los Angeles's Luckman Jazz Orchestra.
When the gig was over, Beasley felt inspired to search deeper and continued to write more
arrangements long after the performance, eventually assembling some of the finest musicians in
Los Angeles to bring the charts to life in a musician's union rehearsal room.
Amassing enough arrangements and developing a signature feel, he took the band public at Los
Angeles's jazz incubator, the Blue Whale, to sold-out crowds. With a fifteen-piece ensemble,
which includes first-call horns like Bob Sheppard, Bijon Watson, Rashawn Ross, Beasley
conducted the band with an improviser's eye - free flowing and open to solos that add to the
narrative. Since that casual debut in 2013, the band has become a fixture on the scene,
performing at Disney Hall, Jazz Standard, Ford Amphitheatre, SFJAZZ twice and most recently at
the Playboy Jazz Festival held at the world famous Hollywood Bowl.

YELLOWBIRD
JAZZ
‘Speak Low' is Lucia Cadotsch's new working band. With Petter Eldh on double bass and Otis
Sansjö on tenor saxophone, she sings a captivating beautiful collection of modern classics, like
"Gloomy Sunday", "Strange Fruit" and "Moon River". The versions carry the unmistakable
stamp of Berlin 2016. Live, minimalistic, symphonic!
What's special about this trio is the absence of both a harmonic and a rhythmic instrument. But if
you think this would narrow the trio's expressive range you are mistaken. Speak Low have
everything they need to interpret these beautiful songs in their own unique, stirring and very
contemporary way. In one place, you hear the saxophone and think of a vintage synthesizer, in
another, the strings and wood of the bass sound like the kick and claps of an 808.
This is a real band, with musicians who can play the hell out of anything and are not afraid to hold
back. Above all, Lucia Cadotsch lays it down straight. She sings freely and with pride, she uses her
gorgeous instrument like a real storyteller. What she sings always sounds real because there is a
hotline between the song and her heart.

£7.99
WHIRLWIND RECORDINGS
JAZZ
Scottish pianist/composer Euan Stevenson and saxophonist/composer Konrad Wiszniewski
continue their musical collaboration New Focus with a second album New Focus On Song for
Whirlwind Recordings. After the critical success of their first release which featured a unique
blend of classical, jazz and Scottish Folk that was shortlisted for the 2012 Scottish Album of the
Year Award, the pair have established themselves as leading lights on the burgeoning creative
music scene in Scotland.
Much of the acclaim received to date for New Focus has centred on the pair's ability to write
beautiful, haunting melodies where every piece in the sequel balances emotional power with
exquisite craftsmanship. Stevenson provides the majority of the compositions and orchestrations
and largely employs the subtle palette of the first album (jazz quartet, string quartet and harp),
further enriching these textures with the addition of woodwind. Wiszniewski solos on both tenor
and soprano saxophones throughout, while on ensemble passages he and his wife Nicola
Wiszniewski a provide orchestral colour on clarinet and flute respectively with Alina Bzhezhinska
once more featured on concert harp.
The resulting chamber music is rich and varied. Both composers pay tribute to their young
daughters with heartfelt musical letters dedicated to each; but sensitivity and sweetness is
balanced with hard edged improvising on the fast swinging 'Corea Change' and the angular and
spiky 'Fourths Ostinato', whilst the folky 'Green Park' and 'Sophia's Song' (with Wiszniewski on
Celtic whistle) leave the listener in no doubt as to the composers' heritage. That being said, the
Gallic influence of Debussy, Satie and Ravel is never far away - tracks like 'Ascension' and
'Braeside' are a unique blend of French impressionism and jazz, a testament to Stevenson's
versatility as a composer/performer who is able to move seamlessly between idioms. This holistic
approach is moreover exemplified in the two short improvised solo piano vignettes which appear
as sparkling contrasts to the full ensemble dynamic.
Alive to every textural nuance is drummer/percussionist Alyn Cosker, hooking up splendidly with
the ever supportive bassist Andrew Robb. Indeed, the Glasgow String Quartet, all members of
the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, are used to working in perfect synergy, and from start to
finish all the players on this genre-defying album appear to breathe joyfully as one, a powerful
demonstration of accessible, creative music making in the 21st century.

SOUNDWAY
WORLD MUSIC
Soundway Records are to release the only LP by Nigeria's number-one producer of the
1970s and early '80s, 'Sound President' Odion Iruoje.
Available for the first time since the 80's, it’s limited to 1000 copies worldwide and is
pressed on 180g Vinyl. The album features a limited tip-on sleeve.
Originally produced on his own label Odion Ltd and released in 1983, this over-looked and
obscure LP was originally only ever distributed in small numbers back in the early 1980s.
Iruoje is credited as being the man who signed Fela Kuti to EMI Nigeria and produced all of
Fela's revolutionary early material from 1970-73.
His first job upon being taken on by EMI Nigeria in 1969 was to be sent to London on a
work experience placement at their London studios in St. Johns Wood. When he arrived he
was pitched straight in at the deep-end, finding The Beatles deep in the recording of their
Abbey Road album. He also signed and produced most of the great body of Nigerian
material on the EMI label including BLO, Mono-Mono, Tunji Oyelana (who adds vocals on
this LP), Ofege, Geraldo Pino, Sonny Okosuns and many many more.
Part disco, part Nigerian rap, Afro-funk & Juju it's a unique and at times eccentric blend of
Nigerian music that certainly deserves another look after all these years.

"Brinca" means "Jump!" and this their first album contains ten dances repurposed in a new and
original way, to listen to, but above all to dance. They are joined by Carlo Crisponi and Federico
Di Chiara, singers of the new Sardinian folk scene, and guitarist David Pudda. To further enrich
the line-up two special guests: Elena Ledda, internationally known as the most beautiful voice of
Sardinia, and Beppe Dettori former singer of Tanca Ruja and Tazenda. "Brinca", with the strength
of these amazing young performers, demonstrates once again the vitality of a unique tradition in
the Mediterranean.

Afghanistan. Of special interest is the beautiful singing of his two canaries, the remarkable
expressive interaction between a musician and his songbirds makes these recordings unique.

WORLD MUSIC/DOCUMENTARY
"Robert Mugge is a filmmaker with a music critic's sensibility. His good taste in subjects is
matched by the subtle way in which he lets his movies reveal all the music that fits. The result is
filmmaking that informs and entertains, and in the age of overblown music videos and the
blatantly artful hard sell of music, Mugge's movies are a relief to watch.
For salsa fans, ‘The Return Of Ruben Blades’ is a must-see. Politicos looking for a credible and
humane view on the fire down below our borders, and people interested in the evolving
dynamics of pop culture will likewise find engaging ideas and insights in Mugge's most recent
effort...a refreshing portrait of an artist with a demonstrative grace and an irresistible beat.
Listening to Blades discuss his work and then seeing him perform it onstage with his band is a
lesson in humility, courage and musicianship. He's an immensely likeable person...a movie
natural.
What finally emerges in ‘The Return Of Ruben Blades’ is not really a platform for political insight
or a profile of the heir apparent to the Latin music traditions of Machito, Tito Puente, and Ray
Barretto. The film certainly is ripe with both, but there's a larger, more passionate statement to
be made. Mugge's affectionate and smart movie is a vision shared by two soulmates who believe
the world can be discovered and better understood through music."

A true original who bleeds passion with every stroke. Godmachine is a powerhouse.
This lavishly produced art book is the first ever collection of the unique and ground
breaking art of one of the UK's leading cult artists. Twisted Dark fantasy, Modern Heavy
Metal, New School Tattoo, Horror... Godmachine has blazed the trail and although many
artists have followed his path Godmachine is the original and he remains unique, his
illustrative style stands alone... he is simply the best at what he does.
The book showcases many of his best art pieces, sketches and through many quotes taken
from interviews the book gives insight into the mind and humour of the artist himself. In
'The Art of Godmachine' you will see an artist who is at the peak of his powers and who is
revered by his contemporaries. This book will inspire you and its power will stay with you.
Godmachine is an illstrator based out of Wales, with some seriously nasty skills. Growing
up and working as an electrician and bricklayer as a young lad, it was skateboard graphics
through which he rekindled his connection to art.
Influenced by artists such as Horsebites, Giger, Aubery Beardsley, Klimt, Richard James,
Calvin and Hobbes and anyone who drew for 2000AD during the 90s, it's probobly fair to
say that he does a bit of influencing himself these days.
As a freelance artist, Godmachine's art graces skateboards and band merchandise such as
t-shirts, album covers and posters.

MADFISH
BLUES
Deluxe 2CD set collecting the finest recordings from the British Blues legend's work with
Splinter Group, Peter Green is widely regarded as one of the finest guitarists of his generation.
His virtuoso blues playing was an integral part of the sound of the original Fleetwood Mac,
which he founded in 1967.
In the early '70s Green left the band and he was to spend much of the next three decades in the
wilderness, battling a number of health issues. He re-emerged in the late 1990s, performing with the
Peter Green Splinter Group. Between 1997 and 2004, Green and the group recorded seven albums
and this 2CD set collects the best recordings from these all albums for the first time.
The highlights include tracks from the W.C. Handy award winning album The Robert Johnson
Songbook', guest appearances from Paul Rodgers, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Dr John and Hubert
Sumlin and live renditions of the Fleetwood Mac classic 'The Green Manalishi'.
The 2016 Madfish edition will be presented in a media book with a 20 page colour booklet.

BLUES
This wonderful album, full of terrific songs and performances, kicked off Johnny's international
career. He was soon hitting the European and festival circuit.
It's the start of several years of collaboration with JSP, where Johnny became variously A&R man,
songwriter, producer and bandleader on a series of acclaimed CDs.
This first Johnny Rawls album also helped to widen the audience for Southern Soul/Blues and it's
all Johnny. We work through a bunch of songs where the words 'groove' and 'soul' spring to mind.
Johnny loves those mid-tempo loping rhythms and there are plenty of examples here such as
'What A Night', 'Don't Worry About It' and 'Sweet Woman'. The slow blues 'I Got A Problem' and
the deep 'I Feel So Good' further illustrate his command of the Soul/Blues genre.

Everything about this album is iconic, from its "quick draw" cover art to the songs it contains—
"Big Iron," "Cool Water," "The Master's Call," "Billy the Kid," "The Strawberry Roan," and, of
course, "El Paso" (here in its rare, full-length version)— that have come to define the Western
genre. And the music has never sounded better than it does here: our limited edition (of 360

Oddly enough for a band that started as an attraction at the Opryland theme park,
Diamond Rio turned out to be more authentic and original than most any of their country
contemporaries, eschewing session musicians to sing and play everything on just about
every song they recorded.
Add crisp, multi-part harmony arrangements and excellent songwriting to that streak of
homegrown creativity and you had, along with Alabama, the biggest country group of the '90s,
whom The Definitive Hits Collection celebrates by living up to its name with 31 of the 33 hits
Diamond Rio notched during its unparalleled run on the Arista Nashville label. The 40-song set
leads off "Meet in the Middle," the only debut single EVER to hit #1 on the charts, and doesn't let
up with such chart-toppers as "How Your Love Makes Me Feel," "One More Day," "Beautiful
Mess," and "I Believe," plus such favorites as "Love a Little Stronger," "Walkin' Away," "You're
Gone," and more. Notes by Bill Kopp round out the set. By far the biggest and best Diamond Rio

There was never anybody like Mitch Miller in the music business. And there never will be again.
Head of A&R for Columbia for over 15 years, star of his own television show on NBC,
accomplished oboist and enormously influential on pop music during the '50s and early '60s,
producing and nurturing the careers of such popular artists as Doris Day, Frankie Laine, Jo
Stafford, Johnny Mathis, Guy Mitchell and many others, while famously passing on more rock
and roll-oriented acts like Elvis, The Beatles, and Buddy Holly.
But Miller's contribution didn't stop there—he was also a successful recording artist in his own
right, recording 13 Top Ten albums and a series of bestselling singles with an orchestra and
chorus, often credited to Mitch Miller and the Gang. Spanning the years 1950 to 1962, The
Definitive Collection covers virtually his entire recording career at Columbia. Gene Sculatti's notes
(festooned with photos from the Columbia vault) trace a career arc like no other in the annals of
the music industry. 38 freshly remastered tracks.

EHSE RECORDS
ELECTRONIC
Ehse is proud to announce the arrival of ‘Six Improvisations’, the debut tape by Baltimorebased keyboardist and composer Liz Durette. 2013 began a series of electrifying performances,
with Liz galvanizing new song forms of tonal intimacy and profound technical expansion. Having
adopted a Rhodes electric piano as her instrument in this period, live outings found local
venues submerged in near-total environments of physical soundswell.
‘Six Improvisations’ captures all of the excitement of Liz’s live excursions, while offering what
might be more private expressions from an enclosed studio environment. Captured in but a few
evenings, we find Liz exploring heights of spiritual wander, spectral ecstasy, tension and release,
abandoning this reality for myriad others, yet never relinquishing command of the keys. Flowing
from one structural invention to another, clouds of sustain crackle, twinkling rhythms jump and
skitter about, melodies flow. Modern pastorals, cerebral invocations, sure-handed melodic
puzzles that resolve, implode, dissolve, and in some instances cease to exist.

These stunning pop, soul and gospel flavored selections showcase the iconic singer at the height of
her vocal magic. A missing/jumbled part of Dusty's august recorded legacy, finally set right and
available in its intended format. Out on orange vinyl limited to 600 copies!
In 1971, Atlantic Records released a pair of Dusty Springfield singles produced by the legendary
songwriter/producer Jeff Barry (one-time songwriting and romantic partner of Ellie Greenwich, and
author of too many hits to name): "Haunted"/"Nothing Is Forever" and "I Believe In You"/"Someone
Who Cares." A restless Dusty, freshly relocating to America from her native England, then departed the
label and left an additional 9 songs recorded with Barry in the can, where they stayed until Rhino issued
one track, "Faithful" (in mono), as a bonus track on the 1990s CD release of Dusty's 1970 Atlantic album
A Brand New Me. The other tracks didn't surface until a subsequent deluxe reissue of Dusty's landmark
1969 album Dusty in Memphis included them as bonus cuts.
Now, reissue producer Jim Pierson—who tracked down the missing masters after being lost for over
two decades —has assembled Dusty's Barry-produced masters and put them together in a single
package for the first time to create the third Dusty Springfield Atlantic Records album as planned in
1971. Real Gone Music's release of Faithful on LP presents these historic Barry-Springfield
collaborations exactly as they were originally intended to be heard, with the 12 tracks meant for the
album release finally out on vinyl 45 years later.

RAP/HIP-HOP
These days everything you consume has to be checked - a vibrant outside can hide a genetically
modified Frankenstein interior. Finding that 100% organically grown with no artificial rhymes
can be difficult. This album is for those looking for something less calculated.
Powerful production runs the range from soulful, funk filled, and hard knocking to cool, laid back
easy nodders. The rhymes are politically aware without taking themselves too serious - so from
the occasional judo chop to the need for sexy, dirty slutty money - Denmark explores life from the
perspective of a man who grew up on minimum wage and butter sandwiches but has grown into
a self-aware scholar.
Lyrics don't sugar coat anything -no matter how rough that truth might appear: "The fleek shall
inherit the Earth and the meek shall be buried in dirt - ain't nothing sweet." Denmark delivers
existential truths while still throwing in a "where the hoes at?" A street savvy album that
explores Black love, brutality, capitalism's grip on our daily thoughts, and the connection it all has
to our ancestors. Gensu Dean has produced for David Banner, Large Professor, Roc Marciano,
and more, while Denmark Vessey has had his praises sung by the likes of Earl Sweatshirt. This is
that sh*t to get you through sh*t.

Glen Washington is a different sort of reggae artist. A 25-year veteran in the industry, he
started out as a drummer, and was actually known as the "singing drummer" at a certain point
in his career. He brings that ability to his songwriting, which means he brings the songs to life
using his sense of being "in the pocket" with phrasing and song ideas that engage the listener.
Washington's trademark husky vocals are unassuming, steeped in the rich tradition of the varied
music of the African Diaspora, with influences from gospel and soul and the roots of reggae as
well as meant, its folk music predecessor.
This release includes the input of the Zion High partners, I Grade and Lustre Kings all of whom
lend their expert hands, ears and heads in making the rhythms and teaming with the artist.

Here, in one smokin' hot set, are the first 22 single sides that the great Wilson Pickett
recorded for the Atlantic label, some of the most hallowed recordings in the history of
soul music. Along with the intoxicating mix of hits and rare B-sides that come with the
territory on a singles collection, you also get those punchy mono single
mixes/versions that bring out the raw excitement of these seminal performances, not
to mention the incredible musicianship of folks like Steve Cropper, Al Jackson, Donald
"Duck" Dunn, and Isaac Hayes.
Indeed, even if you purchased Rhino Handmade's collection of Pickett's complete
Atlantic studio sessions, you don't own the single versions—this volume (and the two to
come after it) are necessary complements to that outstanding set. Remastered by Mike
Milchner from sources derived from the original tapes, and annotated by Joe
Marchese, who penned the notes on Real Gone's previous collection of the Wicked
Pickett's RCA recordings, Land of 1000 Dances—The Complete Atlantic Singles Vol. One
presents some of the greatest soul ever waxed exactly how it was originally waxed—as
singles for airplay on the radio. It's the material that made Wilson Pickett a legend.

AUSTRALIAN ELOQUENCE
CLASSICAL
The Vienna State Opera resumed its performing schedule very soon after the end of the
fighting over the Austrian capital in 1945. As the ‘House on the Ring’ had been destroyed
by direct hits the company had to move to the Theater an der Wien, though it had been
closed since 1938 and was therefore dilapidated.
This house, with its wealth of tradition, nevertheless proved to be an ideal setting for
performances by the State Opera once it reopened on 6 October 1945. It took only a few
years to return to an international standard of opera performance; indeed, music lovers
and opera buffs believed that some of its productions even went beyond that level.
A decade or so later, studio recordings commenced in earnest. When the Opera House on
Vienna’s Ringstrasse opened after rebuilding in May 1955, it boasted an ensemble of
supreme vocal artists. The incomparable George London, who for some years had been
cast as an ideal Don Giovanni, was now joined by a Don Ottavio sung by the Canadian
Léopold Simoneau, who was then celebrated as a Mozart singer, particularly in Paris and
at the festivals in Glyndebourne and Aix-en-Provence. The attractive Italian singer
Graziella Sciutti, from Turin, was an appropriate choice for the role of Zerlina.
After some years in exile in Israel, Hilde Zadek made her début at the State Opera in 1947
and was a distinguished performer of numerous prima donna roles. Her well thought-out
interpretation of Donna Anna was a yardstick for generations of singers to come. Ludwig
Weber had joined the State Opera in 1945, becoming one of the company’s finest singers;
he is heard here in the role of the Commendatore. The already stellar cast was joined by
the Viennese Croatian soprano Sena Jurinac in the role of Donna Elvira and by the young
singers Walter Berry as the Don’s long-suffering manservant Leporello and Eberhard
Waechter as Masetto.
All through these years Rudolf Moralt, with his ideal knowledge of the repertoire, was
present as the staff conductor. He ensured faultlessly secure musical direction of
performances, both at the Theater an der Wien and – until his untimely death in 1958 – at
the House on the Ring. Moralt held the reins as securely in Mozart as he did in Hans
Pfitzner, Richard Strauss and even Johann Strauss, whose works he performed with verve
and gusto with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.

***FIRST TIME ON CD***
Choreographer George Balanchine gave many gifts to the American people – and to the New
York City Ballet – but the most typically American and sparkling of these gifts was the ballet
Stars and Stripes, which was premiered in 1958, and has been revived many times since.
Sousa’s music was adapted and assembled into a 30-minute score by Hershy Kay (1919–81),
who enjoyed several earlier collaborations with the New York City Ballet.
Sousa loved baseball, and he even wrote a march, The National Game, to honour it. Baseball
remains the national sport in the United States, but many Americans will agree that football has
supplanted it, in terms of popularity and revenue. Chicago’s National Football League team, the
Chicago Bears, was recognized by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, with Sir Georg
Solti conducting, in January 1986, when they performed the Bears’ fight song, Bear Down,
Chicago Bears, as a surprise concert encore.
The song was recorded shortly thereafter, along with The Stars and Stripes Forever and the
American national anthem, and released as a 7” 45rpm single – surely the most unusual recording
Solti and the Chicagoans ever made. All these recordings receive their first international release
on CD.

CLASSICAL
This collection of overtures – many of them appearing internationally on Decca CD for the first
time – comes from the very start of Georg Solti’s recording career. That for Beethoven’s Egmont
was, in fact, his first recording as conductor, issued as a 78rpm record. The two Rossini
overtures were issued as a 45rpm and the Verdi was included on a collection of other overtures
and orchestral music from opera.
Solti re-recorded several of the overtures in this collection in stereo with the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra and the Vienna Philharmonic. But for sheer explosive energy, these rare mono
recordings from the late-1940s and the first half of the 1950s remain as persuasive as ever and
are collectors’ items.

Erich Kleiber was one of Georg Solti’s idols and it was a Kleiber performance of Beethoven’s
Fifth Symphony that was, by his own admission, the catalyst in his decision to become a
conductor – a decision he made at the age of fourteen. The Schubert recording comes from one
of only two recording sessions with the Israel Philharmonic – in May 1958. It is genial, but not
without the Solti trademark of excitement.
Solti recorded two complete Beethoven symphony cycles, both with the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra, in both analogue (1974) and digital (1986–90) formats. With the Vienna Philharmonic
in 1958–9 he recorded the Third, Fifth and Seventh symphonies. (He also made a ‘live’ recording
of the Fifth with this orchestra in 1990.) Over several decades he worked extensively with the
Viennese players, and despite making several legendary recordings with them openly admitted
that it was seldom a harmonious relationship, especially in those early years: ‘They hated me. For
many years I used to say that my favourite street in Vienna was the road to the airport’.
This reissue continues Eloquence’s tribute to Sir Georg Solti with, in the main, reissues of his
earlier Decca recordings.

are of the big, heavy, powerful kind, though usually with plenty of drive where it’s required.’ (Beethoven) Gramophone, December 1959

CLASSICAL
The Dutchman Arnold van Mill (1921–1996) never enjoyed the international fame of his
German contemporary Gottlob Frick or the younger Martti Talvela and Nicolai Ghiaurov. Yet at
the height of his formidable powers in the 1950s and 60s, he had few rivals for rotund depth
and sonority of tone (with what Hope-Wallace called ‘double bass tug’) and versatility in a
repertoire that stretched from Mozart’s surly Harem overseer Osmin, via Verdi to Wagner.
In this, one of his all-too-rare recital discs, he displays that typical amplitude and generosity of
voice, and shows how seamlessly he can move from geniality and humour to baleful and blackvoiced.
Like Van Mill, Edelmann sealed his international reputation at the 1951 Bayreuth Festival, where
his Hans Sachs was admired for its robustness and authority, flecked with mischievous humour.
Edelmann’s resonant, cleanly focused bass (without woolliness or ‘spread’) lay a tone or so higher
than Van Mill’s. His extremely rare 1951 recital disc for Decca here forms a coupling to Van Mill’s
recital for Philips.

CLASSICAL
Certain rhythms seem to flow naturally for certain people. Shakespeare could probably have
held a conversation in iambic pentameters and, when it comes to music, you can find many
national preferences: the tango for Argentinians, the samba for Brazilians, the polka for Czechs,
the mazurka for Poles, the czárdás for Hungarians, and so on.
The Austrians have developed a predilection for the waltz, which grew out of an earlier dance, the
Ländler. It comes so naturally to them that it is almost like a second language. The great Viennese
soprano Hilde Gueden had it in her bones and was second to none in interpreting her native
operettas. But, in an inspired move by the Decca recording team, in 1955 she was persuaded to
try her hand at the waltz music of two British men of the theatre, Ivor Novello and Noël Coward.
The resulting album, beautifully arranged and conducted by Stanley Black, has become a classic.
This 2CD set presents Gueden in folkloric vein, from the songs from musicals by Coward and
Novello, to a sequence of Viennese songs, including waltzes, and two programs delivered with
often touching simplicity, one of children’s songs, the other of Christmas music. All are treated
with the same polished perfectionism, a total eschewal of sentimentality, and that indefinable
quality through which great singers make intimate contact with their listeners. The recordings
were made between 1952 and 1969 for Decca, with whom she enjoyed a long collaboration.

an early Vienna Philharmonic recording of the Prelude to the first act of Wagner’s
Meistersinger.
‘The Decca engineers have now certainly got the measure of Royce Hall, Los Angeles, with rich
reverberation wrapping round the bald Brucknerian textures […] I have never before known this
music sound so like Wagner. […] In all four movements Mehta with his suave style is a degree
more extrovert [than the versions by Kertesz and Haitink]’ - (Bruckner) Gramophone, April 1971

CLASSICAL
After Música Callada Steffen Schleiermacher is now presenting Fêtes lointaines, his second
release featuring one-of-a-kind piano compositions by Federico Mompou. Along with the title
cycle, this CD includes other miniatures from the period between 1914 and 1921.
The titles of the short cycles very much refer to the real world. “Suburbis” depicts street scenes in
Barcelona, a guitarist endeavors to get a waltz going, gypsies form the topic of conversation,
suddenly an old gray mare appears, and then a beggar concludes the series with hurdy-gurdy
distress signals. The festivities in Fêtes lointaines, hints, mere impressions, are heard in the
distance – which is why the instructions at the end read: “To be played like an echo.”
Mompou resembles Erik Satie, whom he had the opportunity to meet in Paris and learned to
respect. The “Manfred Bürki” Steinway D grand piano presents its very transparent colour in
contact with Steffen Schleiermacher’s fine-touch fingertips.

CLASSICAL
Breathtaking virtuosity, sumptuous sound, expression brimming with suspense. On his debut
album the young Belarusian clarinettist Vladimir Soltan gives his all while enjoying superb
ensemble support from the Hamburg Symphony orchestra. Under its conductor José Luíz
Gómez this orchestra simply surpasses itself in concertante competition with the soloist.
Coupling together three almost-contemporary clarinet concertos from three different composers
but equally virtuosic in style, this recording is a wonderful exploration of the repertoire.
When the wonderfully nimbly instrumented piece from Francaix was composed, there were
considerable doubts about its playability, but today it numbers among the most popular works of
its genre.
The precision teamwork characterising this recording by Vladimir Soltan and the Hamburg
Symphony is an absolute listening must. The music sparkles with delight and joy, making for true
listening pleasure. And MDG’s 2+2+2 sound in three dimensions enhances this sublime
experience: you are right there, live, in the midst of musical things – so fasten your seatbelts!

Karl-Andreas Kolly - Josef Suk: Piano Works

MDG
£9.25
CLASSICAL
A double stroke of fate divided Josef Suk’s life into a “before and after.” Within little more than
a year he first lost his mentor and father-in-law Antonín Dvorák and then his young wife Otilie.
The Swiss pianist Karl-Andreas Kolly’s latest release illustrates this break pervading Suk’s entire
compositional oeuvre and offers a refreshing look at a composer who has not yet received his
proper due.
Suk’s piano cycle Moods op. 10 continues to be situated very much in the best Bohemian
tradition; Dvorák’s influence is quite audible. The rhythm and harmony of the five enchanting
character pieces evoke memories of folk music from the eastern Austro-Hungarian Empire, often
with its typical, slightly melancholy undertone, while it also becomes quite evident that the
extremely successful violinist Suk knew his way around the piano.
Karl-Andreas Kolly concludes his Suk recital with a “Love Song” capturing ecstatic longing with
suspended harmonies full of yearning and languishing. The MDG sound engineers again have
captured this gem in the best SACD technology, high resolution and in 3-D, for the perfect
Lucullan audio feast at home.

The Dresden State Orchestra’s young solo clarinettist Robert Oberaigner and the ARD
prizewinner Michael Schöch have joined forces on this recording to present Reger's two
clarinet sonatas op. 49 along with his Sonata op. 107.
Right from the beginning Reger’s op. 49 No. 1 is absolutely enthralling: “Allegro affannato” is his
interpretive prescription here, and Oberaigner and Schöch’s rendering of a character situated
somewhere between “breathless,” “hurried,” and “pressured” has to be heard to be believed!
Reger’s third sonata, composed some eight years after the first two, produces its effect in a very
similar manner: classical in its design, this work wins over the listener with clarity and simplicity
reflecting the greatest mastery. The premiere, at which the dedicatee Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig
zu Hesse himself was in attendance, must have been an overwhelming success.
The two soloists form a chamber dream duo of a kind that is only rarely found. Tone colours and
expressive gestures are exchanged and further developed, so that the result is pure joy.
Competition occurs in the field of dynamic expression, and the quest for the unknown becomes a
common cause. Luxurious 2+2+2 sound, a Super Audio CD of the highest recording quality.

Bedrich Smetana’s fabulous tone painting rich in legend is so uncommonly popular because
behind the extremely vivid natural depiction there is a deeply felt program creating a place for
it in the six-part cycle Má Vlast (My Fatherland).
Contemplating his fiftieth stage anniversary as a much-acclaimed pianist, Smetana published the
version for piano four hands even prior to the release of the orchestral score. The Evelinde
Trenkner – Sontraud Speidel Piano Duo has now undertaken this mammoth task and recorded
the complete, very demanding cycle, revealing many a discovery in repertoire long thought to be
so very familiar.

Mari Kimura - Harmonic Constellations –
Works For Violin & Electronics

CD
NEW WORLD
£9.25
CLASSICAL
Mari Kimura’s career is a measure of how violin virtuosity has changed over the last few
centuries, and particularly in the last fifty years. By the middle of the 20th century, violinists
and composers began to feel that the violin’s traditional technical arsenal required updating,
lest the instrument continue to sound like the 16th-century technology it is, trapped in a
quickly changing, increasingly high-tech modern world.
One approach, mirrored closely in the world of woodwind instruments, has been to find the
violin’s “extreme” technique, which would yield ways to twist the violin’s familiar timbre into
something new. One such technique was to exploit the violin’s harmonics—the glassy, highpitched tones produced by bowing a string on which a finger was placed lightly, rather than
pressed fully to the fingerboard. Kimura herself discovered a counterpart to traditional harmonics
in the early 1990s.
Expanding on a technique intended to bring an extra measure of presence to high notes that are
not naturally resonant, she began experimenting with notes on the G string, and found that she
was able to wrest sounds as much as an octave lower than violin’s lowest natural note, the G
string’s open G. She spent several years perfecting the technique, which she calls subharmonics.
For Harmonic Constellations, Kimura has collected half a dozen works for violin and electronics,
by a group of American composers each of whom has a distinctive compositional style, and who
take different approaches to the challenge of composing for the violin and electronics. Of
particular note is the premiere recording of the title track, a major new composition from
Michael Harrison, which is scored for violin with 13 pre-recorded tracks and computer generated
sine tones. The work is comprised of nine constellations of complex just intonation harmonies
that gradually shift and evolve over time.

Chris Brown –
Six Primes For Piano In 13-limit Just Intonation £9.25
NW80781
093228078128
CD
NEW WORLD
CLASSICAL
Chris Brown (b. 1953) composes music for traditional instruments, acoustic instruments with
interactive electronics, improvisers, and computer networks. With Six Primes (2014), for
retuned piano in 13-limit just intonation—drawing on the Rhythmicana ideas of Henry Cowell,
the pure keyboard focus of Conlon Nancarrow, the affection for just intonation of Lou Harrison,
and the unadulterated clarity of mathematical process of James Tenney—Brown is staunchly
positioned, aesthetically, as a West Coast American experimentalist.
“Six Primes is composed using the first six prime numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 to govern both its
tuning and temporal structure, including harmony, rhythmic subdivisions, and form. I wrote this
music to explore the limits of using the same integer ratios to simultaneously provide melodic,
harmonic, and rhythmic materials. The piano must be retuned in just intonation using the tuning
system factor of 2, three ratios with highest prime of 3, and two ratios each with highest primes
of 5, 7, 11, and 13. This creates a great diversity of interval relationships: whereas 12-tone equal
temperament has just twelve distinct intervals, this tuning has 75.
I employed this algorithmic control over form in part to evoke the egalitarianism of twelve-tone
music, and to divert from monocentric tendencies of modal musics. Within that form, however, I
allowed myself to compose freely, using a diversity of melodic, harmonic, and polyphonic ideas.
Lou Harrison’s endlessly branching melodies, Cowell’s polyrhythms and tone clusters, Cage’s
equanimity and Stockhausen’s deterministic force, the complex minimalism of Morton Feldman,
and the harmonious buzz of Ellen Fullman . . . all provided influence and inspiration. I discovered
that playing asymmetrical rhythms in odd numbered subdivisions of a strong pulse can evoke a
bebop-like swing. And although I never thought about it during the composing process, I think I
hear in its mixture of styles an influence of Ives.” - Chris Brown

Herbert von Karajan - Beethoven: 9 Symphonies

4053796003393

DOCUMENTS
£8.49
CLASSICAL
Karajan's first complete recorded cycle of the Beethoven symphonies with the Berlin Philharmonic. These
legendary interpretations were made in 1961/62 in Berlin's Church of Jesus Christ, at Dahlem, and were the
world's first orchestral production in stereo quality. It was one of the most ambitious and successful
projects in recording history.
Herbert von Karajan was a superstar, the most successful and influential conductor of the twentieth century,
who could work wonders with musical sounds. Fellow musicians/composers described him in such glowing
terms as "King of classical music" (Yehudi Menuhin); "one of the greatest geniuses of his time" (Rolf
Liebermann), and "le grand maître" (Leonard Bernstein).
The Beethoven symphonies held a central position in Karajan's repertoire. In the opinion of many, this, the
first of three complete recordings with the Berlin Philharmonic under his direction, remains unsurpassed.
Audiences were simply captivated by the expressiveness and wonderful sound of his interpretations, by the
perfection of the orchestra and their faultless musicality and sensibility.
