Cuts
After Riccardo Dillon Wanke's 2008 highly-lauded solo debut, Wanke continued his interests in digital & analog manipulation of sound & its application into musical compositions. His work with guitars & keyboards (piano & rhodes) has started from pure radical improvisation & has drawn to the investigation of drones sounds, static music. "I explored for years the use of repetitive structures within different perspectives. in many cases, these figures involved long developments. 'cuts' is the effor…

Auto-Da-Fé
* Second press with grey cover. Includes a postcard with the tracklist printed on it * "The first side of Auto-Da-Fé consists of singles dating back to before the release of Information Overload Unit, while the second side is post-Leichenschrei, but pre-Machine Age Voodoo material. With early material vacillating between noisy textures and punk trappings, and the later tracks showing hints of their synth-pop direction, there's a definite dichotomy here, but both halves excel greatly in what they…

Warrior On the Edge of Time
"Hawkwind's fifth studio album found the band enjoying a rare oasis of stability after the multitudinous personnel shifts of the past five years. Only the recruitment of a second drummer, Alan Powell, disturbed the equanimity of the lineup that created the previous year's Hall of the Mountain Grill, although it would soon be time to change again. By the end of the year, bassist Lemmy had departed, vocalist Robert Calvert had rejoined, and the group's career-long relationship with United Artists …

Dreams
Gabor Szabo was something of an irresistible force. His upbringing in Communist Hungary was difficult but edifying. Music was his escape. He grew up to be a man of strength with a fatal weakness. In his early years, he voraciously consumed all the exciting and exotic jazz sounds coming from the Voice of America broadcasts. By the time he fled Budapest in 1956 as the Russian tanks hit the streets, he was well versed in all styles of guitar playing including classical.It was his jazz virtuosity, h…
