	BIOTA: Bellowing Room/Tinct Code:ReRBCD2 Price: £11.50 Quantity in Basket: none
'Bell/Tinct' comprises 78 minutes of two complete (now deleted) LP's. An extraordinary, compact and somehow timeless unfolding of recognisable and unrecognisable sound, permanently mutating or being shattered or imbricated.
	BIOTA: Invisible Map Code:ReRBCD5 Price: £12.50 Quantity in Basket: none
A long time coming, but as always, well worth the wait. Technically, this is the usual uncategorise-able mixture of primitive electronic, ethnic antique and conventional instruments, multilayered processing and meticulous construction. Aurally, vast, three dimensional sonic landscapes emerge in sharp Dalian detail, matched in the generous accompanying booklet with lapidary artworks from the visual component of the band. Extraordinary. Listen to a sample of this release
	BIOTA: Object Holder Code:ReRBCD4 Price: £12.50 Quantity in Basket: none
Stunning work that breaks new ground; an extraordinary achievement that was 3 years in the making and rewrote lot of rules in passing. With texts and singing by the inimitable Susanne Lewis, the CD also features contributions from Charles Vrtacek (Piano), Andy Kredt (Guitar) and Chris Cutler (percussion, electrics, and some texts). A Dense, profound field of sound, music and silence.

	DRAKE, BOB: Little Black Train Code:BobDrake:LittleBlackTrain Price: £12.50 Quantity in Basket: none
Thinking Plague, Hail, EC Nudes, 5UU's bassist and mixmaster with his second solo CD. Fast and furious country picking meets weird fragmentation and fast cut compositions. Guitars, Bass, Drums, Violin and odd unidentifiable noises all flawlessly performed, recorded and mixed into a single organism of musical strangeness. One of a kind. Listen to a sample of this release
	DRAKE, BOB: Medallion Animal Carpet Code:CTA7 Price: £12.50 Quantity in Basket: none
A rollercoaster of a record - intensely musical and highly attentive to the quality of sound - only not in the usual directions. This is what happens when a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist and engineer gets to do what he wants his own way, free of the norms of the musical and production values most everyone else is running after. If you think you've heard it all here's something else again. The closest to a description would be his previous CD "Little Black Train". Listen to a sample of this release
	JON and UTSUNOMIYA: S/T Code:MIMI004 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Utsunomiya some will recall was the genius behind the sound of After Dinner. Here, working with singer and accordionist JON, he has produced a CD that is more or less indescribable. It is a work of pure sound (and comes with a long and thoughtful essay about sound, place and performance. Do not expect 'weird' sounds and conventional complexity, nor electronics.. this is superficially baffling but essentially and existentially a genuine innovation. You can't listen to it for 'the music', it is a complete event, and there are listening recommendations which it pays to follow. Japanese release. limited quantity.
	KALAHARI SURFERS: In The Heart of the Beast (vinyl) Code:RRC24 Price: £10.34 Quantity in Basket: none
Newscasts. Troublemaker Warric Sony, master of documentary incorporation and edit, who steals the sounds, embarassing speeches and paranoias from paradise and winds them into music that is insistent, out of hand, danceable, tricky and hallucinatory by turns.
	MUSCI/VENOSTA: A Noise, A Sound Code:ReRMVCD2 Price: £12.50 Quantity in Basket: none
See other M/V title for general description. Over 2 years in the making and flawless, as usual. Listen to a sample of this release

A CD of songs following on from Art Bears, News From Babel and Domestic stories.This time the co-authors are Stevan Tickmayer and Chris Cutler, with Bob Drake, with guests Fred Frith, Amy Denio and Claudio Puntin. A dense, composed, gallon-in-a-pint kind of a record about the outer edges of hard science. Tightly composed, complex and layered. Listen to a sample of this release
	TIMET: Shadows Code:IDichiForma04 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Loernzo Brusci and Andrea di Luca. Interesting and deeply considered.These are massive noise constructions, largely organised, with a great deal of processing, studio work and multitracking, not comparable to anything else I can think of. Great stretches, maybe sometimes too diffuse, but.. Best would be to try one and see how you get on with it, either will do.
