Test the ears and patience of yr so called 'friends' -- the trained (operatic) vocalizings of ms. mackness dance and squeak around the flutter-scronk of mr. butcher (he of long-standing brit-free improv fame). Pure frontal-excursion, quiet and slippe…
Though saxophonist John Butcher is not short on instrumental prowess, his primary assets lie in the realm of ideas. On Fixations, Butcher has rejected conventional jazz thinking (swing, melodicism, harmonic cycles) in favor of creating his own perso…
PAUL RUTHERFORD (trombone, euphonium & electronics), PHILIPP WACHSMANN (violin & electronics), and BARRY GUY (double bass & electronics). The first time some early recordings of this trio have been issued. The bulk of the music in this set comes from…
Outside of Peter Brotzmann and Derek Bailey, I am not certain there are many players, European or otherwise, that maintain such sustained reverence from their peers as Paul Rutherford. And deservedly so, since I know of very few musicians as uncompro…
Sold out, last copies: 'Beautiful duo set from these two European improvisors which is a deal more removed from any established notions of intuitive post-SME thought than you might initially suspect. Davies plays harp throughout, but right from the f…

Expectations exploded, intentions fleetingly revealed, faith justified. A new album from Keiji Haino's Fushitsusha is always going to be a major event. And to make the release of Origin's Hesitation even more significant, it is the first new album fr…
Keiji Haino's rock trio debuted to the world of recordings with a double live LP set (PSF 3/4 -- long deleted) and then followed it up with this one -- another double live set (completely different material). Mind boggling guitar/bass/drums extensio…
Recorded 2005-6. 'FURT's new CD combines live sets from Durham and Belfast into a vertiginous journey lasting almost 78 minutes. Richard Barrett and Paul Obermayer once more redefine the outer limits of intensity, virtuosity and improvisational ra…
Highlights from small group recordings from the 2001 Freedom of the City festival featuring artists such as Steve Beresford (electronics), John Butcher (saxes), Lol Coxhill (sax), Paul Rutherford (trombone), Phil Minton, and more in various arrangeme…
This is a studio recording, and thus somewhat different in approach and tone to the group's continuous live sets; an example can be heard on a compilation from the 2003 Freedom of the City festival. Here the emphasis is more on developing specific id…
The short story: Prints is Fred Frith's first album of songs in 20 years. The long story: it is actually a collection of compilation tracks and unreleased studio sessions recorded between 1987 and 2001. No matter if you already own a few of these,…
