From Light In The Attic
Available: November 25, 2014

Largely unheard, criminally undocumented, but at their core, utterly revolutionary, the recordings of the diverse North American Aboriginal community will finally take their rightful place in our collective history in the form of Native North America (Vol. 1): Aboriginal Folk, Rock, and Country 1966–1985. An anthology of music that was once near-extinct and off-the-grid is now available for all to hear, in what is, without a doubt, Light In The Attic’s most ambitious and historically significant project in the label’s 12-year journey.

Native North America (Vol. 1) features music from the Indigenous peoples of Canada and the northern United States, recorded in the turbulent decades between 1966 to 1985. It represents the fusion of shifting global popular culture and a reawakening of Aboriginal spirituality and expression. The majority of this material has been widely unavailable for decades, hindered by lack of distribution or industry support and by limited mass media coverage, until now. You’ll hear Arctic garage rock from the Nunavik region of northern Quebec, melancholy Yup’ik folk from Alaska, and hushed country blues from the Wagmatcook First Nation reserve in Nova Scotia. You’ll hear echoes of Neil Young, Velvet Underground, Leonard Cohen, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Johnny Cash, and more among the songs, but injected with Native consciousness, storytelling, poetry, history, and ceremony.

The stories behind the music presented on Native North America (Vol. 1) range from standard rock-and-roll dreams to transcendental epiphanies. They have been collected with love and respect by Vancouver-based record archaeologist and curator Kevin “Sipreano” Howes in a 15-year quest to unearth the history that falls between the notes of this unique music. Tirelessly, Howes scoured obscure, remote areas for the original vinyl recordings and the artists who made them, going so far as to send messages in Inuktitut over community radio airwaves in hopes that these lost cultural heroes would resurface.

With cooperation and guidance from the artists, producers, family members, and behind the scenes players, Native North America (Vol. 1) sheds real light on the painful struggles and deep traditions of the greater Indigenous community and the significance of its music. The songs speak of joy and spirituality, but also tell of real tragedy and strife, like that of Algonquin/Mohawk artist Willy Mitchell, whose music career was sparked by a bullet to the head from the gun of a trigger-happy police officer, or those of Inuk singer-songwriter Willie Thrasher, who was robbed of his family and traditional Inuit culture by the residential school system.

Considering the financially motivated destruction of our environment, the conservative political landscape, and corporate bottom-line dominance, it’s bittersweet to report that the revolutionary songs featured on Native North America hold as much meaning today as when they were originally recorded. Dedicated to legendary Métis singer-songwriter and poet Willie Dunn, featured on the anthology but who sadly passed away during its making, Native North America (Vol. 1) is only the beginning. A companion set featuring a crucial selection of folk, rock, and country from the United States’ Lower 48 and Mexico is currently in production.

Numerophiles-

It will comes as no surprise to anyone reading this missive that we make a lot of vinyl. By year's end we'll have produced 43 unique titles for the year (down from 48 in 2013) across a handful of different imprints. About two years ago we launched a series of records dedicated to replicating original LPs down to their tiniest detail, using Numero's benchmark for quality. "The 1200s"—as they're known around the office—have grown from four modest LPs by Zion, Illinois' Shoes to nearly 40 albums, spanning a wide variety of genres and decades. We're pleased to add three more to record bins and shelves everywhere, available at finer shops or our website now.
The Montgomery Express

THE MONTGOMERY MOVEMENT

http://www.numerogroup.com/images/product_images/web/the-montgomery-express-the-montgomery-movement-2.jpg
Funk's answer to the Five Blind Boys of Alabama, Florida's Montgomery Express stood at the crossroads of politically conscious soul and mystically awakened dance music. Comprised of two blind musicians in their 20s and a teenage rhythm section, their lone LP was cut in 1972 for Orlando's Dove label, then reissued on Folkways two years later. Although the label usually steered clear of soul music and anything remotely commercial sounding, Montgomery Express tapped into Folkways' Guthrie-cum-Chamber Bros. nerve.

Sensational Saints

YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT

http://www.numerogroup.com/images/product_images/web/sensational-saints-you-wont-believe-it-1.jpg

Formed in the early '50s under the watchful eye of Tuskegee, Alabama, transplant Charles Chambliss, the Sensational Saints were handpicked from a Cleveland clothing store, a pool room, and from a group of friends singing from a third story window. After years spent rotating members and issuing stray singles for assorted non-denominational imprints, the group connected with the vocally inclined Reverend Melvin Kenniebrew at the close of the '60s, making good on their "Sensational" boast. "With God in their hearts and singing on their minds," the Sensational Saints mounted their crown jewel in 1973 with "You Won't Believe It" (Try It You'll Like Us). Pressed in conservative quantities by local gospel magnate James Bullard on his King James label, the group's lone long-player perfectly encapsulates the intersection of funk and gospel as only the religious conversion of a Bill Wither's tune can do.

Bulbous Creation

YOU WON'T REMEMBER DYING

http://www.numerogroup.com/images/product_images/web/bulbous-creation-you-wont-remember-dying-1.jpg

A truly underground document of the national obsession with heavy, mind-bent psychedelia. Originating in the unassuming suburb of Prairie Springs, KS, Bulbous Creation seem to have warped directly from the wrong side of the looking glass with a jabberwocky full of surreal lyrics and gratuitous guitar solos. Recorded and abandoned in the catacombs of Independence, Missouri's Cavern Sound studio in 1969, Bulbous Creation's eight-song screed invokes images of sinners, wage slaves, drugs, out of touch parents, jail, and the devil, naturally.

OLD 97’s’ CLASSIC DEBUT HITCHHIKE TO RHOME
RECEIVES EXPANDED 20th ANNIVERSARY REISSUE
ON OMNIVORE RECORDINGS
Prototype alt-country band’s 1994 indie debut release
now available as 2-CD (with 12 bonus tracks) or 2-LP package
Photo by Danny Clinch
DALLAS, Texas — The Old 97’s burst onto the alt-country scene in 1994 with their independently released debut, Hitchhike To Rhome. With subsequent albums on Bloodshot, Elektra, New West, and ATO Records, the quartet became one of the Americana genre’s most enduring bands.
To celebrate this anniversary, Omnivore Recordings will reissue Hitchhike, the band’s first album, with an expanded release on 2-CD, digital, and — for the first time — on double LP. Street date is November 17, 2014.
When band member and set co-producer Ken Bethea was revisiting the original tapes for this reissue, he discovered a treasure trove of eight extra tracks cut at the album sessions — many of which the band hadn’t even remembered recording. It seemed the perfect time to bring those previously unissued songs to light and add the tracks from their first four-song demo cassette to round out the early picture of the 97’s.
The 2-CD version of Hitchhike To Rhome contains the original album, coupled with a second disc of those 12 rare and unreleased tracks, many mixed from the original multi-tracks for the first time by longtime Old 97’s engineer Rip Rowan. The double LP (limited edition first pressing on translucent orange vinyl) features the LP on three sides with six of the recently unearthed tracks on Side 4. The download card included gives the buyer the complete 2-CD program. Both formats include rare photos, memorabilia and notes from Bethea.
The entire album has been remixed from original session tapes by Rip Rowan.
From the Too Far To Care reissue complete with demos (also available separately on vinyl as They Made A Monster), to the band’s sessions with the great Waylon Jennings, Omnivore continues to add to the Old 97’s legacy with this integral, early part of their history and catalog.

EDIP AKBAYRAM & DOSTLAR: Nedir Ne Degildir? CD
PHARAWAY SOUNDS (Spain) / PHS 020CD
release date: 10/14/2014

DESCRIPTION

As Turkey's political factions turned more and more violent in the late 1970s, Buscemi-eyed Edip Akbayram was nearly beaten up by rioting audiences for daring to sing about rural points of view that were naturally critical of Istanbul's political leaders. This second album of Anatolian psychedelia, originally released in 1977, showed defiance even in its gatefold art, with a drawing of the band members seeming to grow straight out the ground, covered in plant tendrils. Akbayram poached members of Mogollar and Bariş Manco's Kurtalan Ekspres to get the best fuzz breaks and Hammond slams & put 'em straight in your ears. The band also tried out some mixes that pushed the vocals or a particular instrument way up front, and of course, long, low, reverberant welcomes from Edip's echo-covered voice. Remastered sound, insert/booklet with photos and liner notes by Angela Sawyer of Weirdo Records.

CEM KARACA: Nem Kaldi? CD
PHARAWAY SOUNDS (Spain) / PHS 022CD
release date: 10/14/2014

DESCRIPTION

Cem Karaca announces his intent to slay all enemies of Istanbul's leftist counterculture with stompin' prog keyboards. Sophisticated and passionate, with flamboyant taste in sunglasses, Cem Karaca led Istanbul's music fans through a period of violent political turmoil. Karaca reworked traditional folk lyrics with molten electric bass lines that played up both a poet's broiling righteousness and also his listeners' common ground with their elders in Turkey's history. 1975's Nem Kaldi? gathers more '60s-'70s singles that lead the listener through Karaca's own musical history, skipping across various collaborations. Sink deeper into the intrigue both musical & otherwise as fractious personnel changes & real-life assassins multiply, yet the double-time drums & badass synthesizer schwings pound on.

ERNAN ROCH: La Onda Pesada, Mexico 1971 CD
SHADOKS MUSIC (Germany) / SHAD 141CD
release date: 9/23/2014

DESCRIPTION

Almost nothing was known about this mysterious record until Shadoks' friend Enrique Rivas managed to make contact with Ernan Roch, very much like he did with Kaleidoscope. This album was recorded in Mexico in 1970 together with the band El Amor, who recorded three albums for Capitol Records. His outstanding song "The Train" has a similar vibe to Damon's "Song of a Gypsy," with great fuzz guitar all over. Ernan sings all songs in English, which is not very common for bands from Mexico. This is the first official release of this album from Ernan Roch with great liner notes and photos. One of the best releases from Mexico. Features four bonus tracks.

CHARLIES: Musiikkia Elokuvasta Julisteiden Liimaajat CD
SHADOKS MUSIC (Germany) / SHAD 163CD
release date: 9/23/2014

DESCRIPTION

One of the most influential bands from Finland are Charlies. They recorded their second album Buttocks in 1970 and also that same year, this first album. Shadoks has included six bonus tracks on this release, including their rare single from 1969. The album was recorded for an underground movie of the same title, and Charlies had full artistic freedom to create psychedelic songs and effects. Their song "Sunshine Supergirl" is a good example of classic work by this amazing underground band, featuring great guitar riffs by Eero Ravi. The original LP was pressed only a few hundred times and is a very rare collector's item today. What a great band and what a great guitar player. Dave Lindholm wrote: "Charlies was the first big Finnish rock band for me. They played loud & rough. They looked like men, not popstars. They played the music I love. Could I ask for more? Well, I didn't!"

ENSAMBLE POLIFONICO VALLENATO/SEXTETO LA CONSTELACION DE COLOMBIA : Fiesta, Que Viva La CD
STAUBGOLD (Germany) / STAUB 134CD
release date: 10/28/2014

DESCRIPTION

The first-ever release of mythic Colombian groups Ensamble Polifonico Vallenato and Sexteto La Constelacion De Colombia. A full-length album of exclusive archive recordings featuring members of the Meridian Brothers, Frente Cumbiero, Ondatropica, Romperayo and Los Piranas. Bland rock and pop music took over Colombia in the 1980s. For a country with so much musical heritage, this was blasphemy. Ensamble Polifonico Vallenato and Sexteto La Constelacion de Colombia were two groups who, in the late 90s, fought to redress the balance. Ensamble Polifonico Vallenato started as a joke, a parody of the bad vallenato music a bunch of university students would hear on the bus into campus. Their idea was simple: "to play whatever and see what happens." The resultant music was as heavy as rock, as acidic as punk and as far-out as the most left-field free-jazz. At the heart of it all was fiery accordion and acerbic vocals, often playing in call-and-response, just like the classic vallenatos of yore. The lyrics formed a big part of the group's identity; they were deep, sarcastic and surrealistic, and revelled in toying with Colombian clichés. The music soon stopped being a parody. The students began to learn more and more about Colombian folklore and their sound evolved. Soon, they ditched the accordion, replacing it with flutes from Colombia's Caribbean coast, and renamed the group Sexteto La Constelacion de Colombia. The musicians were now more mature, though no less experimental. Both groups were rebellious, counter-cultural and added to their reputations with anarchic live shows. At the time, the reaction was mixed. To quote the group, they were "approved by a few but disapproved by a lot." For many musicians who saw them play during their short lifespans, they offered an alternative, a new form of Colombian music that was rooted in their country's heritage but could be as innovative and experimental as any jazz or rock. A seed was sown that started a new branch of Colombian tropical music. The band members now play in groups like Meridian Brothers, Frente Cumbiero, Ondatropica, Romperayo and Los Piranas -- bands that have released albums and toured internationally, as well as won critical and public approval while maintaining the revolutionary spirit that will ensure that the evolution of Colombian music is not ready to stop yet.

Not a reissue, but good idea for Nashville exhibition: Dylan, Cash and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City. A little too varied for Rolling Country (really didn't get that Bridge Over Troubled Water fit, though Elvis did great live version of the title track)

this week the first worldwide release of Ethiopian jazz and funk band Hailu Mergia and the Walias' "Tche Belew” comes out on Awesome Tapes From Africa LP/CD/Digital/Cassette.

Recorded in 1977, the album went on to become one of the most celebrated of all Ethiopian pop recordings from the golden age of Addis Ababa’s live band scene, not to mention a "holy grail” LP that collectors trade for ~$4000 on eBay.

From Smog Veil: first a reunion, then reissues:

X__X has a Cleveland date scheduled with The Gizmos, making this an extra special gig. The band also has an in-store scheduled for November 1 at Minds Eye in Lakewood. If you are lucky enough to possess X__X's 2 records originally issued on Drome Records, or the recent (and I think now out of print) retrospective LP on Ekto Records, then you know that these gigs will be ones not to miss, details are copied below.

hearpen.com has a new release this month: a remix/reissue of '18 Monkeys on a Dead Man's Chest' from David Thomas and two pale boys. Here's what we know: This is the 2014 David Thomas remix of the original 2004 multitracks. Tracks were cleaned up, some modifications made and David's current mix methodology used. Nothing was added in terms of new recordings. Some elements not used in the original mix were re-introduced.

'18 Monkeys on a Dead Man's Chest' is the companion album to Pere Ubu's Carnival of Souls. 18M completes the first cycle of 2pbs albums and is a lynchpin between the 2pbs and Pere Ubu projex. The Chinese Whispers methodology had been tested and was ready for its final stage of implementation, which was going to be within the Pere Ubu structure. The stories and characters, as well as musical ideas, were taken up again for COS and, for that reason, 18M provides key elements of the backstory and is essential to the 'getting' of COS. Get it here:

There is a download single of out-takes from the 18M session that are available at a special price from hearpen.com.
Updates for all the new stuff, reviews, mp3 samples and videos available daily at the Smog Veil Facebook fan page. Check it out:

The week commencing 1st December, Pixies and 4AD will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Doolittle with the release of Pixies: Doolittle 25 - an expanded edition of the classic album that brings together all the album's B-sides, Peel Sessions and demos for the first time, with nearly half of the tracks having not been commercially released before.

The second studio album from Pixies - Black Francis, Joey Santiago, Kim Deal and David Lovering - Doolittle was to prove a pivotal moment for both band and the wider scene. Produced by Gil Norton and recorded between two studios (Downtown Recorders in Boston MA and Carriage House Studios in Stamford CT) in late-1988, it was an instant hit, containing some of the band’s most memorable singles (‘Monkey Gone To Heaven’, ‘Here Comes Your Man’, ‘Debaser’). Included among the many plaudits thrown Doolittle’s way was Pitchfork ranking it at Number 4 in their Best Albums of the 80s poll, while NME writers in 2004 named it their Second Best Album of All Time. The band toured Doolittle in 2009 to celebrate its 20th birthday and five years on, it’s now time to give it the deluxe release treatment it deserves.

The 3 CD Pixies: Doolittle 25 contains an impressive fifty tracks with the original album on disc one, two full Peel Sessions and six B-sides on disc two and the complete album in demo form plus seven bonus tracks on disc three. A gatefold double LP version is also being released, with two pieces of 180g black vinyl being pressed - the first containing six B-sides and two full Peel Sessions and the second being the album in complete demo form plus 3 bonus tracks. A download card is included, offering access to all LP tracks plus four more bonus tracks. The full tracklistings can be found below.

Like all other Pixies sleeves before it, Vaughan Oliver returns to oversee its design, reinterpreting his original artwork and Simon Larbalestier’s photographs to create a stunning design using metallic ink.

Pixies: Doolittle 25 is being released on 1st / 2nd December and is available to pre-order now direct from the band.
The band are offering an exclusive t-shirt bundle with both CD and LP pre-orders.
The album can also pre-ordered from the 4AD store, with the opportunity for one buyer to win a white label of the record.

Record Store Day Black Friday 2014

Fall is finally upon us and the best part of the season is not gathering with family and friends for a seasonal feast, but rather the limited edition vinyl available on Black Friday, November 28th!

Lee Hazlewood
There's A Dream I've Been Saving (vinyl edition)
First up is the vinyl edition of There's A Dream I've Been Saving. Seven years in the making this is the ultimate artifact for Lee Hazlewood heads new and old. Now, for the first time, you can enjoy the entire experience on vinyl. This landmark box set contains an expansive LP-sized hard cover book detailing the label history of Lee Hazlewood Industries, accompanied by 8LPs + 4CDs and the never-before-released film Cowboy in Sweden.

Lizzy Mercier Descloux
Fire b/w Morning High, 7"
This year marks the ten-year anniversary of impassioned poet, painter, actor, and prolific, self-taught musician Lizzy Mercier Descloux’'s death. Instrumental in the late 70s New York underground, yet of Parisian origin, Mercier Descloux, with partner Michel Esteban, established the magazine Rock News and ran in the same circles as Patti Smith and Richard Hell. Lizzy became a genre defying artist and pioneer of worldbeat and avant garde rock, and supreme minimalist of the no wave genre in her own right. Next year, we will release a detailed series showcasing her work. A glimpse of what’s in store for this upcoming archival series, this 7" presents two key tracks from the Mercier Descloux catalog: the epitomic, 1979 disco-punk classic “Fire” backed with a rare session featuring Lizzy and “Godmother of Punk” Patti Smith reciting a bilingual version of Arthur Rimbaud’s poem, “Matinée d’ivresse/Morning High,” set to music by experimental contemporary Bill Laswell. Remastered from the original tapes, this 33 1/3 RPM 7” single comes pressed on “Fire” colored wax.

Wayne McGhie & The Sounds of Joy
S/T
Finally back in print and one of the pinnacle releases in our catalog, this 1970 masterpiece is the Holy Grail of Toronto Funk! The first true debut of Studio One veteran and Jackie Mittoo bandmate Wayne McGhie, this self-titled LP is a wicked mix of Caribbean Funk, Soul and reggae. For this special Black Friday edition we have expanded the album to a deluxe gatefold "tip-on" jacket with rare archival photos and extensive liner notes featuring interviews with McGhie, Alton Ellis, and Lloyd Delpratt.

GAME THEORY AND SNEAKERS
HEADLINE OMNIVORE’S VINYL OFFERINGS
FOR BLACK FRIDAY RECORD STORE DAY, NOVEMBER 28
Game Theory’s early EPs Distortion and
Pointed Accounts of People You Know reissued on 10" vinyl
Sneakers featured Chris Stamey and Will Rigby (later of the dB’s)
with Mitch Easter (Let’s Active) and Don Dixon.
Their 1976 EP, which gets expanded edition reissue,
was a prototype of American indie rock
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Omnivore Recordings’ contributions to Record Store Day Black Friday will feature coast-to-coast exemplars of smart pop: Davis, Calif.’s Game Theory, whose early EPs Distortion and Pointed Accounts of People You Know will be issued as 10" vinyl EPs (in clear and green vinyl, respectively) and Winston-Salem, N.C.’s Sneakers, whose influential self-titled 1976 7" EP will be issued as an expended-edition 10" clear vinyl EP with added tracks. Street date for both is Black Friday, November 28, 2014.
Game Theory followed up their debut album, Blaze of Glory (recently reissued by Omnivore Recordings as the beginning of their Game Theory catalog re-launch) with a pair of EPs — 1983’s Pointed Accounts of People You Know and the following year’s Distortion. Omnivore is pleased to present the next two pieces of the Game Theory puzzle with collectible, one-time only 10" pressings of these landmark releases (Distortion on green vinyl; Pointed Accounts … on clear vinyl).
Distortion contains five tracks, including Game Theory staples “Shark Pretty” and “Nine Lives to Rigel Five.” Lead guitar was provided by David Bowie’s then-axe man Earl Slick, credited for contractual reasons on the original release as Ernie Smith.
Produced by the Three O’Clock’s Michael Quercio, Distortion showed another musical growth, as Game Theory moved toward the sound they would refine on later releases like Real Nighttime and Lolita Nation (reissues of which are on the horizon for 2015). Distortion’s green vinyl 10" contains a download card for the entire program. http://d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net/20141023/fc/b7/78/2c/404151c8228394862a2b26dc_280x218.jpg

Pointed Accounts of People You Know contains six tracks, including Game Theory classics “Metal and Glass Exact” and “Penny, Things Won’t.” Also featured is the original version of “Selfish Again,” recently covered by Eric Matthews (who also appears on Omnivore’s new retrospective from Ireland’s Pugwash, A Rose in a Garden of Weeds). The band’s Scott Miller produced Pointed Accounts of People You Know. The vinyl EP also contains a download card for the entire program.

Both Distortion and Pointed Accounts of People You Know will see their full reissues in this one-time pressing of 1,500 units for Record Store Day Black Friday. They are destined to be highly sought-after pieces, and vital additions to any collection.
Selected tracks from both EPs also comprise the CD reissue of the French compilation Dead Center, available November 24th, and intended to remain part of the permanent Omnivore catalog.

Chris Stamey and Mitch Easter, icons of indie pop, first began to explore recording techniques in Winston-Salem, N.C., during their youth. In 1976, Chris and his band, Sneakers (including drummer Will Rigby, with appearances from Easter), released a EP on Stamey’s own Carnivorous Records (later to morph into Car Records and release Chris Bell’s “I Am the Cosmos”). The sessions were engineered by Don Dixon, who would eventually produce bands such as R.E.M. (with Easter) and the Smithereens. Stamey and Rigby would go on to form the dB’s, and Easter would reappear in Let’s Active. The Sneakers EP — one of just a handful of self-released records that created the template for the modern indie avalanche — remains vital in not only independent record history, but music in general.
Omnivore Recordings is proud to reissue this seminal 7" EP as an expanded 10", clear-vinyl EP for Record Store Day Black Friday. Sneakers’ original six tracks are joined by three more tracks, including a previously unissued cover of The Grass Roots’ “Let’s Live for Today.”
Housed in a sleeve that replicates the first issue, this pressing includes a download card for the entire program. Sneakers’ 1,500 units will give people the opportunity to experience the birth of the music they love. Whether to run to the record store or just to dance, everyone needs Sneakers.

From Kill Rock Stars weekly etc.:

http://dev1.mtimg.com/product_photos/imgs/000/012/932/full/Bratmobile_Pottymouth_LP-2.jpg
We are excited to announce that Bratmobile's debut Pottymouth is BACK ON VINYL for the first time in over 10 years on 11/18/2014.

Comprised of singer Allison Wolfe, guitarist Erin Smith, and drummer Molly Neuman, Bratmobile made their debut at 1991's International Pop Underground convention and quickly took the Riot Grrrl underground by storm. The band released their debut album Pottymouth in 1993 following a series of 7 inch singles on labels like Homestead, K, Four Letter Words, Simple Machines, and Twelve-Verse-Twelve. The band broke up in 1994, reunited in 1999, and released two more albums on Lookout! Records. They played their last show in 2003.

Pottymouth is one of the most beloved albums in the Kill Rock Stars back catalog and we couldn’t possibly be happier to have it back on vinyl where it belongs.

Critical praise for Pottymouth:

"Has any band ever done unalloyed, sneering contempt quite as witheringly as Pottymouth-era Bratmobile? " - Stereogum

" Pottymouth is a definitive riot grrrl record and essential listening for fans of indie rock and punk." - James Elliott, Amoeba Records

"... Pottymouth was an album full of jittery agitations, quickly solidifying the group as one of the Pacific Northwest’s garage greats." - The AV Club

Pottymouth is also available on CD and good ol’ MP3 for those without turntables.

SOUNDS OF THE UNIVERSE RECOMMENDS: Patrick Cowley & Jorge Socarras 'Catholic'
Available Today, November 20

Cowley is known as one of the pioneers of disco in the 1970s, particularly the hi-NRG strain. This material was written and recorded with vocalist (and frequent collaborator) Jorge Socarras in San Francisco between 1975 and 1977, before the latter went to London and Cowley started a gig playing synthesizers for Sylvester. The two artists reconvened in 1979 and re-recorded some of the material, eventually sending an album to Megatone Records who ultimately decided not to sign it.

The Opening Of The Cerebral Gate
(Tresor)

**VINYL NOW AVAILABLE**

Long-out-of-print groundbreaking C-L-A-S-S-I-C electro album - an essential lesser-konwn piece of Drexciyan history!

Produced by the late James Marcel Stinson and released in 2001 via Supremat, a short-lived sub label Tresor dedicated to a more abstract and experimental electro sound, “The Opening Of The Cerebral Gate” was conceived as the second part of the so-called Drexciyan Storms – a whopping stack of seven albums by the Detroit pair released under different monikers within a single year (the Tresor album “Harnessed The Storm” being the first). Informed by esoteric concepts, the music on this brilliant album is chock full of hypercharged arpeggios and driving pulse patterns. BRILLIANT.

From Smog Veil Newsletter---put this on 2015 by mistake

hearpen.com has a new release this month: a season-appropriate reissue of Monster Walks The Winter Lake by David Thomas and the Wooden Birds. Here's what we know of it: This is the 2014 David Thomas revision of the original 1986 two track digital recordings. Nearly six hours worth of tape were reviewed to come up with the definitive version.

This album was recorded live in the studio to two-track digital tape at Suma on November 18, 20 and 21, 1985. No overdubs or drop-ins. If something went wrong then we started again. Fostex X-15 and Tascam 144 multitrack cassette recordings were used as real time accompaniments for Coffee Train, My Town, Monster Magee and Monster Thinks About The Good Days.

Great album, one to play on special occasions. Hope he doesn't do anything too bloody-minded to it.

WARDRUNA's mesmerizing debut full-length, Runaljod - Gap Var Ginnunga, finally gets the reissue treatment in North America via Indie Recordings. Originally released in 2009, Runaljod - Gap Var Ginnunga serves as the first release in the band's stunning Runaljod trilogy, a musical rendition of the twenty-four runes in what is often referred to as the "elder futhark." Runaljod - Gap Var Ginnunga incorporates some of the oldest of Nordic instruments such as primitive deer hide frame drums, kraviklyra, tagelharpe, mouth harp, goat horn and lur, poetic metres and lyrics written in Norwegian, Old Norse and Proto-Norse tongue. Some of the recordings are captured outdoors or under circumstances of significance to each rune while other sources of sound like trees, rocks, water and torches are used. All of these elements are carefully woven into a rich musical landscape and complemented with whispering voices, melodic song and mighty choirs. Although WARDRUNA's sound shares characteristics with music typically labeled as folk, world and/or ambient, none of these genres can accurately describe their unique style. It truly must be experienced. Music from Runaljod - Gap Var Ginnunga is featured in the soundtrack to both seasons of The History Channel's Vikings series.

Runaljod - Gap Var Ginnunga Track Listing:

1. Ar var alda

2. Hagal

3. Bjarkan

4. Løyndomsriss

5. Heimta Thurs

6. Thurs

7. Jara

8. Laukr

9. Kauna

10. Algir - Stien klarnar

11. Algir - Tognatale

12. Dagr

WARDRUNA:

Kvitrafn: vocals, all instruments (except fiddle), songwriting

Lindy Fay Hella: vocals

Gaahl: vocals

WARDRUNA was founded by Einar Kvitrafn Selvik and in 2009 and enchanted listeners with Runaljod - Gap Var Ginnunga. In the ensuing years the group has spent a great deal of time adapting their music to a live format and establishing a live band, resulting in a handful of very special concerts, perhaps most notably when they performed in front of the majestic 1100-year-old Gokstad ship at the Viking Ship Museum in Norway. The second album in the Runaljod trilogy, Yggdrasil, was released in 2013. Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Selvik, together with vocalists Kristian Espedal (aka Gaahl) and Lindy-Fay Hella, managed to create a strikingly beautiful and intense continuation of what was started with their first album, but without falling into the trap of merely repeating themselves. The band is currently working on Ragnarok, the final release of the series.

Runaljod - Gap Var Ginnunga is available on CD, black double vinyl gatefold and
digitally via Indie Recordings.

William Onyeabor
CD/LP Box Set

William Onyeabor self-released 8 albums between 1978 and 1985 and then became a Born-Again Christian, refusing ever to speak about himself or his music again. Various biographies can be found online. Some say he studied cinematography in the Soviet Union and returned to Nigeria in the mid-70s to start his own film company, Wilfilms. Some say he was a lawyer with a degree from a university in Great Britain. Others portray him as a businessman who for years worked on government contracts in Enugu, Nigeria.
Now for the first time Luaka Bop will release ALL of Onyeabor's creative output, 9 albums in total. Available as 2 hand-numbered LP boxes or 1 CD box with 9 CDs. Get them while they last!
