Money Band
Collection gathers pre-Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice material from James Jackson Toth's Golden Calves project. Originally released in 1996; limited to 1000 copies. "It was really all about The Godz, Jandek, The Shadow Ring, Strapping Fieldhands, Swell Maps and Tower Recordings. Beyond these, I had only heard the 'classic' and most available free jazz, krautrock and noise albums. I was a long way from, say, the second Comus album or Charles Gayle. But this music changed my life. It was a re…
Velocimane / Çukurova
*Edition of 200* Chicago’s Haptic are often mistaken for drone musicians. Certainly sustained sounds, mostly of either electronic or percussive origin, are integral to their approach. The Medium opens with a spray of metallic resonance, probably courtesy of Necks drummer Tony Buck – nearly every Haptic concert features a fourth member – which doesn’t let up for another 19 minutes. Vibes criss-cross the shimmer, then a series of smaller sounds manifest; a slow bass pulse, an organ’s swell, the sh…

Inferno
I was grinning from ear to ear when this little beauty popped through the letterbox, and that was before I even had it on the record deck. It features two long tracks from the Dots frontman, very much in the style of the more ambient tracks from his last CD. Inferno is the more motivated of the two pieces, constantly re-evolving itself as it progresses. Edward Ka-Spel puts more original ideas into one song than most can hope for in an albums worth. His thin voice floats through the haze before b…

Habitation
Limited edition of 300 copies, vinyl only. Dan Lander (Oshawa, Ontario, 1953) studied art at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax (Nova Scotia) with a focus on performance, video and sound.

This interest also led to his involvement as an editor of two anthologies: Sound by Artists (1990…

This 10" is the most condensed kind of a summary of the sound of [multer] in its whole variety from 1997 to 2003.

Sound artist Gert-Jan Prins (1961) deals with the frequencies of our electronic age. Between feedback and composition, between the free will of human improvisation and the determinism of electronic laws (and digital algorithms), Prins operates as a sculptor and an experimenting scientist.

Music For The Rothko Chapel
Here's a rose plucked from the magnetic garden. Rick Reed's solo project from 1985. Entitled "Music For The Rothko Chapel" . Reed has long had a fascination for the chapel, located in Houston, Texas, which contains some of the last large scale paintings by the late abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko. Almost completely monochromatic, in deep shades of purple and near black, the paintings seem to want to pull the viewer into it's mysterious world of the void. Reed wanted to create not so m…
