For The Sake Of The Song & Our Mother The Mountain
**2021 stock** Reissue of Van Zandt's first two albums in a 5" hardbook bound double disc set.

Uberschleiss
Scorpion Violente embodies every fantasy that the Parisian music scene has when it comes to our beautiful sleepy city of Metz: violence, murder, death, unusual sex, warm beers and rain. While the disco duo certainly carry those clichés with a serious dose of creepy humor, its music goes way beyond that scope. The beats can be soft and brutal all at the same time, played over hypnotic and trance-induced melodies, with beyond-the-grave vocals to add another salty flavor. A massive RIYL Ptôse, Su…

Arkham
Arkham are an early 70's prog band that featured keyboard player Jean-Luc Manderlier who would later join Magma, drummer Daniel Denis who would also move on to Magma as well as Univers Zero, and drummer Patrick Cogneaux. Arkham aren't nearly as dark as those bands, their jazzy overtones placing them a little closer to Soft Machine. The three musicians, who show some maturity, are obviously pouring their hearts out through out the album, which exudes an intensity that can't be ignored.

The Roots of the Moment
* Recorded November 10, 1987 at Studio Lussi, Allschwil/Switzerland. * For more than 50 years, Pauline Oliveros has been on a continuing mission: “... to explore new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.” If those words bring to mind the voyages of the Starship Enterprise from the television series Star Trek, the parallels are more than coincidental. In fact Pauline would be as able a captain of any Starship in the fleet of the United Fede…
