	PREVOST, ROWE, GARE, CARDEW and a small orchestra of others: Silver Pyramid Code:MRCD40 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Historic recording from the 1969 Music Now concert of (effectively) an expanded AMM (expanded vastly – 40+ listed, many later to be involved in the Scratch Orchestra). It captures eloquently the excitement of discovering a new – undirected - way to work with sound that has now become familiar but was then a revelation. The difference is everything- discovery excites, repetition bores; this pins the discovery.
	PREVOST/ORGANUM: Flayed/Crux Code:MRCD27 Price: £14.10 Quantity in Basket: none
	PRIME, MICHAEL: Aquifiers Code:RRR-CD-09 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Solid and considered work for electronics, concrete and environmental sound - similar ground to that recently occupied by Jim O' Rourke. Beautifully recorded and nicely wrapped.
	PRIME, MICHAEL: Cellular Radar Code:SPOR01 Price: £12.50 Quantity in Basket: none
	PROTO-KAW: Early Music from Kansas Code:Rune171 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Demos by the band that became Kansas
	PROVINI, HERVE : Musique Amooureuse Code:UTR4137 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Another fine piece of work from percussionist HP who works with a MIDI keyboard and algorithms that produce piano parts which are both structured and unpredictable, which he then accompanies - like a hand in a glove. The confusion between mechanical productivity and human expressivity is both fascinating and eloquent. And it's good to listen too (not all at once I recommend).
	PROVINI, HERVE: Biological and Chaotic Music Code:UTR4116 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Insufficient sleeve notes are provided to this very interesting record for drums and computer based on bio-mathematical alogrithms. On the "Biological" tracks the computer plays piano and the effect is mysterious and very engaging - sets of rhythms and counter rhythms sounding like conventional kit and piano played in real time but indefinably unjazzy - un-anything - while remaining exiting and highly musical. The 2 "Chaotic" pieces have the computer also playing flute-sounds and a greater complexity of structure and simultaneous lines. All manner of musics emerge and submerge as it unfolds in its protean shape-shifting course. I think this is an important and exemplary record. Maximum stars.
	PROVINI, HERVE: Cyber@Musique Code:proviniCyberDVD Price: £17.63 Quantity in Basket: none
Ahead of the game, here Provini presents, in 5.1 surround sound, a music, mostly percussive, derived from a customised programme that brings composition, improvisation and real time processing together through algorithms that calculate, modify and position sounds in space. Provini, an excellent percussionist builds this net of sound around himself and his performances (these pieces are, interestingly, made without overdubbing) in a wholly musical and performative (though 'impossible') way. The DVD will play in stereo if you don't have 5.1 or home cinema, and is still fascinating.
	PUBLIC SUPPLY: Fume Code:ps001 Price: £12.50 Quantity in Basket: none
2 saxes, keyboards, bass drums. Very well made, jazz-ish, additive rhythms, thoughtful arrangements.
	PUGLIESE, MICHAEL: Percussion Code:Mode25a Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Psappha by Xenakis, The King of Denmark by Morton Feldman, Progress by Nils Vigeland, Waves by Per Norgard and an arrangement for percussion quartet of Henry Mancini's Theme from Peter Gunn. An interesting and varied programme. Feldman doesn't disappoint.
	PULNOC: Pulnoc (vinyl) Code:GLOBUS21001 Price: £13.87 Quantity in Basket: none
The Plastic People as was. Now with a new name but the same commitment to a special kind of Rock that retains the clarity and simplicity of their influences (Velvet Underground/ Reed especially) - and no inverted commas. Czech Pressing.THIS IS A VINYL RELEASE

	PUSH PULL: PushPull Code:SONG1001 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Eccentrically played and interrupted blues-rock-jazz- sort-of-thing, gone terribly wrong, but in a unique and fascinating way. Well played, funny, imaginative and one-of-a-kind vignettes. Interesting.
	PYLE, PIP: Bash Code:Rune193 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Glad to take an opportunity to praise Pip. This is his second solo album, this time live - with a quartet (Keyboards, Guitar, Bass), highlighting that strength good musicians have, which recording can often obscure: immediate response and an interactive instrumental fluency that comes from a mixture of technique and unfeignable sensitivity. Excellent sound, exemplary playing all round and careful mixing make this a very listenable and enjoyable CD. In Hatfield era mode, though with Pip's own accent and a nod to what came after, all done with a light, smart, touch that comes naturally to those who invented this genre - setting it apart from much of what now passes as 'prog', which just tries too hard. This isn't experimental or complex, in fact it's quite bland, but it does what it does well and easily, like the jazz of the fifties and early sixties (that's meant as praise) - and Pip plays brilliantly, and only when he needs to. Chapeau.

	RADAR FAVOURITES: Radar Favourites Code:RR017 Price: £12.50 Quantity in Basket: none
This legendary band - with Gerry Fitzgerald, Jack Monck, Cathy Williams and Charles Hayward - was put together by Geoff Leigh just after he left Henry Cow in 1973. Geoff and Gerry had been in Mouseproof together (and Gerry next surfaced on the second volume of Frith's Guitar Solos); Jack Monck, then best known from his time in Delivery with Lol Coxhill & Carol Grimes, was also an old Cambridge friend of Henry Cow's [he, Fred and Chris were briefly in a band called Sparks together]; Cathy and Geoff went on to form Red Balune. So, this captures a mightily interesting socio-musical moment. The recordings here are of the first edition of the band, since everything else seems to have been lost - including the famous Virgin demo, which I remember we all loved but Virgin passed on. But, here are two great, mostly instrumental, compositions, strong, filmic and with their own unique musical identity, and a handful of rare live recordings, the last of which is an improvisation, to my ears, quite spookily Cowish. This is a recording very much of its time, eloquent of a musical climate and style that has long vanished, almost without trace. If you were there or are interested in the critical byways of the period, this is pretty essential. Carefully re-mastered from original reel-to-reel tapes, with the originally projected cover by Barney Bubbles.
