of wires and roots. Antenne creates a minimalist dream of sound that conjures images of long train rides through the European countryside, the
sounds of the machine beneath you as you pass untouched through a lush organic world. The mind drifts like a cloud on the breeze as serene vocals
float gently above an ocean of mechanical echoes and soft swirls of acoustic guitar.

Black Devil are an Electronic/Disco duo who operate under the pseudonyms of Joachim Sherylee and Junior Claristidge. In reality the group comprises
Bernard Fevre and Jacky Giordano, two French producers of library music. The group’s 1978 debut album, Disco Club was unearthed by Rephlex and
rereleased in 2006. Many doubted the authenticity of the record, due to its futuristic sound. In 2004, Rephlex released a remix album with Luke Vibert
taking on taking on the lead remix under his disco acid alias Kerrier District. After the release, the group reformed under the name Black Devil Disco
Club and they have since performed live as well as released three additional albums, 28 After, Black Devil In Dub and Eight Oh Eight all released on

Sic Alps U.S. Ez 655030109829 $14.97 CD Rock/Pop
The duo of Mike Donovan and Matt Hartman outdo themselves here and it is the most fully realized Sic Alps release to date. U.S. EZ knows perfectly
well what it means to be high and inside. It’s not just baseball jargon anymore. If you’ve been jonesin’ for an LP that calls to mind equal parts Bob
Markley and Uli Trepte, then look no further, mein düden (und düdetten). U.S. EZ is the virtual brick of Berlin / Big Sur hash we’ve all been waiting
to break into. The ominous death’s head fez has now been ensconced in a witchy naugahyde bonnet, thus levelling the playing field for both the
psychedelically challenged and the itinerant avant garde.
Grey,Nick & The Random Orchestra Spin Vows Under Arch 753907154429 $21.97 CD Electronic
Nick Grey aka Nicolai Riccardo Moldoveanu Grey lives in Monaco and Montréal, Canada and he has been releasing depressing music since 2002.
His main musical entity, Nick Grey & The Random Orchestra (contributors including Martyn Bates, Charlemagne Palestine, Jessica Constable, Far
Black Furlong etc.) has often been entertainingly depicted as “snorecore”, “absence music”, “ideal for sessions of late-night estrangement” or “typical
bongwater mouthwash gargles”. He is also a member of the projects 230 Divisadero, 48 Cameras, and Grey Force Wakeford.

popular 2006 release Girls And Boys In America. Working once again with producer John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.), the album sees the
band continue in the same direction their previous release took them, mixing classic bar-room style Rock with Craig Finn’s half spoken/half sung
lyrical tales of drinking, partying and love. Features the single ‘Sequestered In Memphis’. Rough Trade.

Head Resonance Company 19 Tracks For Unknown People 753907153729 $27.97 CD Rock/Pop
CD plus archival DVD. Head Resonance Company’s swirling miasma of minimal electronics is more than an NDW high wasser mark; it is Teutons of
fun. Their Sturm is a little bit DAF and their Drang, a little bit Liaisons Dangereuses (and their Ja Jawohl, a little bit Esplendor Geometrico). Head
Resonance Company was formed not only as a musical project, but as an allout art collective, so their particular brand of minimal synth carries a
pilsnered reek of experimentalism that raises their standard a bit above the coldwave rank and file of the day. Fairly revolutionary for the 1980-1984
period in which these tracks were recorded.

Krallice Krallice 880270236626 $14.97 CD Heavy Metal
Recognized as one of the most virtuosic guitar wizards today, Mick Barr displays his awe-inspiring six-string histrionics in such bizarre outfits as
Ocrilim (Hydra Head) and Orthrelm (Ipecac), bending and stretching the rules of modern-day playing and giving new meaning to progressive guitarwork.
Nonetheless, Barr (who has also collaborated with the likes of John Zorn and Mike Patton) is quite the enigma today.
Atlas Sound Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See 796441811410 $19.97 Vinyl Rock/Pop
Now available one VINYL!!! One of the latest ‘true queer art punks’ to emerge from the cracked pavement of Southern suburban sprawl, Atlas Sound
is the solo moniker of Deerhunter frontman/provocateur Bradford Cox. This is the first vinyl release for the acclaimed solo debut from Bradford Cox.
To make the 4 sides of the album complete, there are six new songs added. Rest assured, these are not mere ‘leftovers’ from the mixing of the album,
in fact most of them were recorded after the album had already been completed. And two of the new tunes, ‘It Rained’ and ‘Stained Glass Swan’ are
of such high quality that they would be considered centerpieces on most albums.
Eyeless In Gaza Summer Salt/Summer Sun 753907154023 $31.97 CD Electronic
Standard 2XCD edition. The familiar old chunking guitar and baleful organsynth are there as well as the swelling minor chord miasma of texture and
noise that no human could possibly evoke. Oh wait, that’s right, humans ARE doing it! Care to go on sublime, long-form instrumental excursions
through the centre of the Green Man’s bindu? EIG got it! Been itching to rock out to well written, post punk pop tunes? EIG got it!! Have you and your
family been craving that astrally projected experimental fondue pot of swirling beauty and skewed rhythm that makes you feel like you’ve crawled
back to the womb and the best chill room ever was there? EIG got it!!! Have you ever wondered if anyone can combine virtuoso musicianship and
studio effects in a truly magical way that doesn’t make it seem like everything has been CGI’d in? EIG GOT IT!!!! Ebb and flow; high and low; cooked
and raw. See Martyn. See Peter. See Eyeless.
