INCOMING CEREBRAL OVERDRIVE - CONTROVERSO (10"+CD)
Limited edition 10" vinyl version + CD. 10"+cd housed in incredible sleeve with the usual Malleus artwork designs and layouts. Controverso is the evolution and enlightenment of Incoming Cerebral Overdrive after their debutalbum in 2006 "CEREBRAL heART" (out for the italian label Myphonic Records). Controverso represents a new impulse of uncontrollable nature: structured in eight tracks, the album evolves through a conscious musical growing, moving toward the innovative soul of avanguard music. It's a powerful overcharging state, originating from the mastodontic approach to the riff rooted in a hardcore attitude and developing in something different and multiform. The furious dynamics, the tearing vocals, the seventies italian prog reminiscences and the psychedelic aesthetic show the will to experiment on continuosly mutating song structures. For fans of Converge, Botch, Goblin, Refused, Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan. |

LENTO - EARTHEN
Limited edition 300 copies vinyl version. After sharing the experience of "Supernaturals Record One" with Ufomammut, Lento introduce themselves with the debut album "Earthen". Seven incredible songs create a massive atmosphere mixing ambient with hardcore, postrock with psychedelia, all under unbelievable concrete riffs. Under a wide range of influences including seminal bands such as Neurosis, Earth, Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor, Lento create a personal sound we could define as "Heavy Ambient". Lento is an instrumental five piece act, 3 guitars, bass and a drumkit. Lento's tone is a blend of heavily down tuned guitars, apocalyptic slow tempos, systematic drones and resonant feedbacks, their live sets alternate from hardcore assaults to intimate collapses of the signals. |

ARC OF ASCENT - CIRCLE OF THE SUN
In December 1999 New Zealand's DATURA, one of Australasia's most promising Acid-Stoner-doom bands split up. After releasing the amazing "Visions for the Celestial" the band trailed of into oblivion never to be seen again, only Craig Williamson, the bass player & vocalists survived....continuing alone as one of the country's best known psychedelic artifacts LAMP OF THE UNIVERSE. In 2008, feeling the need to get back into a more "heavy stoner acid rock" direction Williamson formed ARC OF ASCENT, recruiting firstly Guitarist Matt Cole-Baker and then Drummer John Strange to complete the line-up. "Circle of the Sun" is the bands debut album and continues onwards almost exactly where Daturas "Visions" left off. The heaviness is still present, but there is an added otherworldly texture dwelling inside, the guitars are dense and direct in feel -with an Egyptian sounding slant to Matt Cole-Bakers cosmic solos, the drumming powerful, solid and dynamic...and Williamson's "Eastern" vibes raise their head in almost every song, vocally, with the extra exotic instruments he brings to the table, and the music he has written for the group. Titles such as "Universal Form" & "Cosmic Eye" re-enforce the eastern-mystic feel the band creates, lyrically recalling Williamson's Lamp of the Universe style, blending almost seamlessly with the majestic heaviness and trippy interludes that the band creates...Take a hit, re-call your inner light, and enjoy the sound of a new beginning....the time is now.... |

DATURA - ALL IS ONE
Reissue of Datura's first album orginally released on Cranium Music in 1998. Eight tracks with a strong groove and loud guitar well to the fore, particularly on "Lost in Time" where it twists and turns like the very best Monster Magnet. The pace is frantic but totally together with plenty of early 70's references. "Journey thru' space" is a killer heavy psych workout which then seems to be eclipsed by "Phazer" which brings a new dimension to modern stoner music. It's very 70's, very much a modern version of the space rock sound with excellent vocals and lots of retro effects! I've never heard anything so genuinely 70's on a stoner album before, it's hard to believe that this it from 1998 and not 1972! Also look out for the hidden track after "Mountain" very trippy!!! and the BONUS track "Happiness Grows" from 1993 which is also excellent! |

DATURA - VISIONS FOR THE CELESTIAL
New version of this 2nd album by LAMP OF UNIVERSE related band DATURA. This new version has new band photos/artwork and has one bonus/extra tracks not on the original release!! Following the bands globally acclaimed 1998 debut album 'Allisone'. This is the eagerly awaited follow-up featuring some powerfull blasts of PSYCHEDELIC STONER ROCK, laying to rest the comparisons with Monster Magnet and Kyuss, thus created their own kind of HEAVY BASS GROOVES and PSYCHEDELIC ROCK. On this record you will find a 15 minutes track alled "Mantra" which convinces you, that the realm of psychedelic has a border with the stoner kingdom, where all the monsters live. Visions... is a cosmic stoner groove bliss-out at its very best and sees the band carving out their own sound and vision. Slower Sabbath soaked rhythms and tranced out psychedelics permeate the album throughout bridging the gap between metal and acid rock in ways not done before. |

LAMP OF THE UNIVERSE - ACID MANTRA
Hailing from New Zealand, Lamp of the Universe is Craig Williamson....creating an early 70's styled psychedelic eastern hippy acid folk music for the body mind and spirit. 2009 sees Lamp of the Universe in it's 10th year, begining in 1999, and Acid Mantra is his 7th album overall. This will please anyone familar with his early albums "The Cosmic Union" or "Echo in Light", having for the most part a similar feel to those albums but with musical 'hints' or reminders from later albums such as "Heru", It's all here brothers and sisters. Interestingly it's the most 'song oriented' album since "Earth, Spirit & Sky" and probaly the most diverse since the aforementioned "Echo In Light". Accoustic guitars, Sitars, beauitful fragile vocals, fuzz guitar, mellotron and a whole range of exotic instruments blend together to create a cosmic atmosphere of the highest order! |

LAMP OF THE UNIVERSE - ECHO IN LIGHT
Craig Williamson (aka Lamp Of The Universe), from New Zealand plays the kind of music you might imagine hearing while laying on your back in some far away garden. Each song has it's own distinct, trippy vibe, but they all flow together with amazing ease. Featuring a strong melody sung in Williamson's typically blissed out, smiling voice, some of the deepest wah-wahed guitar I've ever heard, coupled with waves of trippy organ and a graceful, fluid rhythm pounded out on the skins. Combine it with swirling, bubbling liquid synth effects and tambourine psychedelic, bluesy guitar swirls around mystical piano, trancey drumming, and spacey effects in a dazzling, cosmically mellow jam that will have you floating away on gentle waves into the starry night. Lay back, and let your mind and soul wander. Totally cosmic! |

LAMP OF THE UNIVERSE - FROM THE MYSTIC RAYS OF......
Great follow up to the 'Earth, Spirit & Sky' album. A more 70's cosmic psychedelic jam. Lamp Of the Universe is the solo project from Datura Bassist and vocalist Craig Williamson. It is a formidable modern mix of pysch "raga" folk with spacey rock elements. In its great variety the music offers astonishing acoustic guitar parts, exotic sitar "raga" scales, "tabla" percussions and "acid" heavy, bluesy rock guitars. Minimal "drone" bass lines alternate with fuzzy, sometimes aggressive psychedelic waves. This rather "cosmic" musical ensemble is without moderation a nice discover. It is a must for fans of Amon Duul II, Pink Floyd and classical raga style. The combination between the genres is well defined, providing a freak out journey throw eastern vibes.

LAMP OF THE UNIVERSE - HERU
Over an hour of uninterrupted sonic bliss, constructed in Hamilton, New Zealand, though the places it describes and evokes along the way are not on any known maps. Indian drone, ethereal wordless spirit vocals, sighing sitars brush the surface of the lake, the water is deep and wide but so clear you can see to the bottom hundreds of feet below. Great distance and moody majesty; at around the fifth track it sounds like Popol Vuh on some sort of godlike visionary sedatives. One man sonic universe or lamp thereof Craig Williamson employs: electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, tablas, choir-like layers of voice, sitar, bowed guitar & sitar, tamboura, tapes, rain pipe, effects, and keyboards to weave the single piece that is Heru. Though it is discreetly divided into seven tracks (Heru parts 1-7) , they all flow into one another so as not to interupt the dream or the dreamer. Orginally released on a limited CDR by Barlfire recordings, now availible once again on factory pressed CD!!! |

LAMP OF THE UNIVERSE - THE COSMIC UNION
Lamp Of The Universe is a solo project from Craig Williamson of New Zealand. Lamp of the Universe is a gorgeously lulling cosmic trip into a paisley coloured psychedelic land of celestial ragas from Williamson's guitars, sitar, synths, and tablas. We're talking track titles like "Lotus Of A Thousand Petals" and "Tantra Asana". Believe me, these describe the music on The Cosmic Union perfectly. Lightly strumming acoustic guitars and sitars drift throughout as the tablas and other percussion keep a simple but effective psychedelic pace. Williamson's vocals are equally light and drifting making for the perfect marriage with his music. Lots of beautifully meandering jams that will open your mind for exploring the alternate realms that you travel with Williamson to. There are aggressive moments too, particularly on "In The Mystic Light" which sounds like a jam off Amon Dti album. And love that organ and shimmering guitar on "Freedom In Your Mind". New reissue CD on Astral Projection includes a bonus track "By the grace of love" not on the original release, but recorded around the same time. |

2011 marks the return of MoRkObOt, bringing forth their heaviest, most focused and most adventurous music ever. Enter, Morbo. After the previous one track album Morto, Morbo (latin for disease) consists of seven cacophonous songs in which the psychedelic attitude of the first Trilogy (Morkobot - Mostro - Morto albums) is dried to expose the bones and nerves of a more intricate, but at the same time more straightforward and focused music, skilfully assembled by the two bass guitars and drum-kit. The result is a raw yet complex low-end sound, interesting to hear as the spectrum of it becomes pure and essential so that Morbo will modify quickly the way You're used to hear musicKnown for carving a sonic language of their own, MoRkObOt's fourth album takes their sound to new depths and offers a different way of approaching heavy music. |

UFOMAMMUT - EVE
Fifth official album by Italy's most cerebral and mammoth doom act UFOMMAMUT. The album - comprised of one 45-minute atmospheric track, divided into five distinct movements - acts as a living homage to the first woman on Earth, and the rebellion to her creator for bringing knowledge to Mankind. Eve is a new step in the sonic adventure of UFOMAMMUT; another level in the band's research. Rounding out at an incredibly action-packed 44:44, the album passes through the same massive atmospheres as Idolum, layered with mastodonic riffage as heard on the band's Snailking release, yet also bears some of the apparition-like passages the band displayed so well on their Lucifer Songs LP, while still formulating a forward-thinking approach to the release. UFOMAMMUT's status as one of the most potent, powerful and artistic contemporary doom artists in existence continues to captivate the masses, and the band's worldwide grasp grows wider with each release. Eve is an undeniably infectious and utterly devastating piece of doom metal art that shall surely be a major player for the year. |

The album starts with a psych-doom suite that consists of 5 parts, which brings to mind the gracious noise of bands like 'Old Man Gloom and Isis and the experimental soundscapes created by not forgotten shoegazers Loop. This is then followed by the track 'Lucifer Song' which is an excursion into analogue electronica, creating a dark piece of music for the mind.

BLOOM, KATH - TERROR
Terror is the follow-up to Finally, avant-folk legend Kath Blooms 2006 return to active musical duty. This album was recorded at Barking Spider Studios in Warren, Connecticut with Kath and her husband Stan Bronski. Kath was born and raised in New Haven, CT, where she learned to play guitar among the headstones of her local cemetery. She met avant-garde guitarist Loren Mazzacane Connors in 1976 and together they recorded six limited edition albums of fragile folk and blues melodies between 1981 and 1984. Her new songs reveal a singer and songwriter as accomplished and affecting as Lucinda Williams or Gillian Welch. Most tracks primarily feature Kaths gentle guitar picking, haunting vocals, and mournful harmonica, although guitarist Marty Carlson (owner of Barking Spider Studios), husband Stan and longtime collaborator Tom Hanford added finishing touches to many tracks. The material ranges in vintage from brand new (i.e. "Marty, I just wrote this yesterday") to as far back as her days with Loren (Something To Tell You). |

BLOOM, KATH -& LOREN CONNORS- - RESTLESS FAITHFUL/MOONLIGHT (2CD)
Their last two albums Restless Faithful Desperate and Moonlight both emerged in 1984, in editions of 200-300 copies on Lorens St. Joan label. As her creativity accelerated, so Kaths songs became looser, more intuitive, with a darkening of tone and an eventual abandonment of intent to shape the music. The songs were still there, however - Restless contains one of her most gorgeous compositions Look at Me, while Moonlight includes an early version of Kaths signature tune Come Here. By 1984, however, Kath was married with a young son, and Connors himself was entering a new relationship, so the duo found themselves drifting apart. Kath did not release anything again until a 1993 solo cassette Love Explosion, but then developed a devoted cult following through the pivotal use of Come Here in Richard Linklaters 1995 film Before Sunrise. She has since released two solo albums on Chapter Music, as well as the recent Bloom tribute album Loving Takes This Course, featuring covers by the likes of Devendra Banhart, Bill Callahan, Mark Kozelek, Josephine Foster and many more. Loren also retreated from music for a period until re-emerging in the late 1980s. He is now recognised as a pioneering guitar explorer, and has worked with the likes of Thurston Moore, Keiji Haino, Jim ORourke and many more. After a quarter of a century, Kath Bloom and Loren Connors incredible recordings are finally available again. The reissue includes extensive liner notes, original photos and artwork, and six bonus tracks taken from a rare 1982 compilation and an unreleased 1984 live session! |

Meeting in 1976 in their hometown New Haven, CT, Kath Bloom and Loren Connors formed a creative partnership that has haunted psych-folk fans ever since, releasing six albums of fragile avant-garde folk-blues in miniscule quantities, all of which now change hands for huge sums. Sing The Children Over mixed traditional folk and blues songs with Kaths originals, and tracks such as Its So Hard To Come Home and The Breeze/My Baby Cries revealed Kath to be an accomplished and moving songwriter. Loren is now recognised as a pioneering guitar explorer, and has worked with the likes of Thurston Moore, Keiji Haino, Jim ORourke and many more. And now, after almost 25 years, Kath Bloom and Loren Connors original recordings are again available to be soaked up, marveled at and relished. Both double disc sets include extensive liner notes, originalphotos and artwork, and a treasure trove of bonus tracks! |

"Mega rare 2nd album of UK blues folk SSW Brian Cookman. Years after his exceptional debut, he made the last gem with friend Jim Cook. Rob Hull from Chicken Shack played awesome guitars and Chris Marshall showed nice keyboard works too. 80's mood and tunes soaked into Brian's sublime blues folky songwriting. one of the finest output of 80's folk movement. The album concept is based on the life of 'Jack', a little boy maybe Brian called himself. Still wish Brian rest in peace..." |

Roel (guitar) and Jelle Stevens (drums) craft heavy dirges that are all about The Riff. Their debut displays a love for amplifier tones and vintage Sabbath grooves. Black Cobra, Weedeater, and High on Fire comparisons are unavoidable, but the music is so immediate you cant process anything until after theyre done hammering your skull. The absence of vocals allow a deeper, more Neitzchian listening experience wherein the abyss stares back at you. My sole complaint is that there arent enough songs on here. This is the best first effort Ive heard in a while. |

Formed in 1996 by the remaining members of Atlantic Records artist Godspeed, Solace is most well-known in the stoner rock genre, but as guitarist and founding member Tommy Southard has said "We're not a stoner band, we're a rock 'n' roll band, a hard rock band, a metal band." However, the comparison of their albums to those of Black Sabbath, Queens of the Stone Age, and Kyuss, as well as their live performances at stoner rock festivals such as America's Emissions from the Monolith and Europe's Roadburn Festival, have rooted them deeply in this genre of rock. |

WHOREHOUSE MASSACRE - IV
Thick 350g cardboard, professional mastering at "The Exchange" UK, 8 paged booklet. IV: The Death Tree is as you may guess the fourth album of Willy P.s (Canada) solo project. This has it all: Sludge, Industrial, Noise, but occasional haunting, almost melodic moments. Inspired by the murders of Robert William Pickton this is a sick nightmarish Lucio Fulci soundtrack. Rotten hopelessness and perdition dominate the album, adding blends of violent, grinding outbursts. lo-fi black metal aesthetic, but still produced healthy. The superb artwork for the coversleeve and the 8-paged booklet is from Scott Stearns and transports perfectly the misanthropic brutality. Dip into the sick world of Willy P. 416 copies pressed. Stunning artwork from Scott Stearns. |

Originally released as a vinyl album by Nasoni, the album finally will come in a CD version. And a DVD version. At the same time... One disc, two ways to use it to retrieve 3SA's pretty intense brew of stoner rock, raunchy wah-wah propelled biker rock, sleazy hard rock and psychedelics. The video features the exclusively recorded soundtrack of the Dutch cult movie 'Horizonica': heavy soundscapes, accentuated by some flamenco-blend accoustic guitars, organ and spaced-out effects, appropriately accompanied by a road-movie styled video. The live video is a bonus, and so is the Dolby 5.1 version of the album on DVD. |

"Frame has an upbeat high energy stoner sound with tons of busy crunchy guitars and blues based classic rock riffs. Good strong vocals and instantly you find yourself bobbing your head to the beat. It's like Terra Firma or Grand Magus on speed at times. This album definitely took me by surprise, a super charged energy blast of riffs and hooks. Frame is trying to reach out and do something that isn't exactly the same old doom norm you hear these days. They kind of have a desert thing happening similar to Unida energy and riff wise, but their sound is a little busier for a lack of better words. My favourite parts throughout this CD within the song writing is when the songs go from an upbeat fast groove to a half time stomp showing these guys appreciate the slower harder stuff as well." "Check out this one if you like bands like Down, Unida and everything in between. Good vocals and good times- just a slew of undeniably catchy heavy guitar rock tunes. If you are a guitar player you might dig this as well, some seriously impressive chops throughout this one." |

Being active more than ten years in the underground scene, the band gradually chose to leave it's praised cult Grind/Death status behind, taking a new path and evolving to a whole new level of musical maturity, lyric wise and imagery wise. The one constant IN-QUEST have maintained during this musical challenge is the completely diverse sound that refuses to accept standard categorization. People have described it as an enlightened form of Death Metal, over Technical Metal up to Nu Metal. All put together, I-Q manages to create a pounding vibe of modern, melodic energy while maintaining an intense level of technical creativity not easily found elsewhere... |

Bad-tempered with long greasy hair, barely covering their red necks, and a disturbing fascination for powertools: NAILGUN MASSACRE grimly resurrected to drive rusty nails of eighties death metal into the third millenniums cripple carcass! First assault: BACKYARD BUTCHERY, a monstrous debut album featuring legendary PAUL SPECKMANN of MASTER / DEATHSTRIKE / ABOMINATION. Old school death metal like old Death/Autopsy. |

They can alternate between swirling, heavy riffage, dreamy meditative excursions, and even incorporate jazz, tango and progressive elements. There are many changes of volume, texture and pace. But all these elements are well balanced, and flow seamlessly from one part into another, taking the listener on a mystical journey through a futuristic / apocalyptical landscape, filling the imagination of what life in Poseidotica's native Argentina can be." |

Toner Low are a band from Leiden (Holland), celebrating their ten year aniversary in 2008 with a brand new album, simply called "II". The band has gradually evolved into doomy psychedelic droners that emphasize on repetitive riffing and minimalism with an overwhelming massive and heavy sound. This sound is first heard to its fullest on Toner Lows debut album, released in 2006 by Freebird Records. |

ULTRAPHALLUS - LUNGVILLE
"Lungville is a nasty, mean sounding album. Name dropping other artists is the reviewer's crutch, and while throwing out groups like Melvins, Sunn0))), Toner Low, and Graves at Sea offers a general idea as to what this Belgian four-piece sounds like, it's sort of like saying Massachusetts is a lot like South Dakota because they're both in the United States. Suffice it to say, Ultraphallus plays slow and heavy, accenting the all-encompassing riffs with deceptive lulls and piercing screams. They approach drone terrority, yet remain fiesty enough to keep their dirges on the angrier side of aggressive. Unlike the Scarificator or the art of Trepanation, Ultraphallus' Lungville is a good kind of hurt. Call it ambient doom, psychedelic drone, or psych-ward sludge - my advice is to sit back, relax, and enjoy what they inflict upon you." |

On their second full length release, WALLRUS brings you 12 brand new tracks of dirty, sincere and unpolished groove rock. After having re-released "The wind blows witches from the sky" Freebird Records it took almost two years to complete the album. But it was worth the long waiting. WALLRUS takes you on a rollercoaster ride of groove rock, while vocalist Rob Rietdijk is turning his lungs inside out to create the biggest variety in vocal styles ever presented in this genre, and way beyond. Includes a video by willem de Roon for viewing pleasure on your PC. And they managed to include a track name longer than "The wind blows witches from the sky" this time... |

WALLRUS - THE WIND BLOWS WITCHES FROM THE SKY
Basicly, we can tell you a lot about this debut album. But one year ago, Rob Wrong did a near perfect job on stonerrock.com, so why not use his words? "Wow, Wallrus really kicks out the jams hard! Right from the beginning you know you have a monster record on your hand. Even though these guys are drenched in classic rock, it's still got newer twists to it and a bit of doom here and there. For the most part the whole CD song after song has the kind of intensity as bands like back in the day, Hendrix, Zeppelin or Cream came across as... hard rock, blues based and heavy. Musically it reminds me of something that the Masters of Reality or the Queens might do also though. Fuzzed out bass and heavy stomps over and over with tasteful guitar and melody lines that are super catchy, but not cheesy. ..." |

APARTMENTS - BLACK RIBBONS
Revered pop romantic Peter Milton Walsh and his band The Apartments return with their first new recordings since 1998. The resigned beauty of Black Ribbons, presented here in two distinct versions, is the first evidence of a newly invigorated Walsh, who has been the sole constant in The Apartments since the band formed in Brisbane in 1978. Side As "Spring mix" was recorded as a duet with Natasha Penot, vocalist for Parisian electro-pop group Grisbi, reflecting the fact that to this day The Apartments remain a revered cult in France. The flip sides "Autumn mix" is darker and more brooding, recorded with former Go-Between John Willsteed in the producers chair. Both versions illustrate the richness and emotional weight that more than three decades of songwriting can produce. |

BUM CREEK - AL
AL is the debuttocks ALbum by gonzoid Canberra immigrants Bum Creek. Relocating to Melbourne from their hometown a few years back, Sam Karmel, Trevelyan Clay and Tarquin Manek have made a reputation for themselves as one of the strangest, stupidest and most amazing live bands in town. They turn every show into a triumphant, lurching mess of synth squiggles, kraut percussion, confrontational stage antics and vocal gibberish. The question, though, with this kind of performance-heavy, musically nonsensical behaviour, is always whether it can be translated into a listenable record. This has been answered by the somewhat surprising fact that, sequestered away in their own studio far from prying eyes, Bum Creek make amazing music. Available on limited edition vinyl only, with a digital download card inserted into each copy, the largely improvised AL is sophisticated, wide-ranging and even subdued in places. The loping, only slightly spastic riff of Bollywood is as close to a pop song as the band will probably ever get, while the drifting vocal monologue of Weird Prince is alternately hilarious and haunting. Across its six extended tracks, Al hints at the bandmembers rich and varied musical backgrounds, which range from minimal techno prodution to free jazz. |

DANNY & THE PARKINS SISTERS - DANNY & THE PARKINS SISTERS
Chapter Music is proud to resurrect from undeserved obscurity the scratchy beatnik art-punk stylings of early 80s San Francisco trio Danny & the Parkins Sisters. Surrounded by the classic SF punk sounds of the Dead Kennedys, Pink Section, Flipper and the like, Danny & the Parkins Sisters opted instead to head in a very different direction. Brash Arizona transplant Danny Vinik and chic, alluring sisters Debra and Beverly Parkins strummed on detuned guitars, banged on whatever was close at hand, and declaimed hilarious, incisive lyrics dissecting the scenes and tribes around them in visceral early 80s San Francisco. Their high-performance shows played out in legendary venues such as the Sound Of Music and Club Generic, with guests including Dead Kennedys drummer DH Peligro. In 1982, the band released a 8 song mini album on the Modern Masters label, run by Richard Kelly of the cabaret collective Club Foot Orchestra. It included the all-time shoulda-beena classic, War Is On Your Doorstep, a pounding tribal punk chant that sums up all the paranoia and posturing of the post-punk era. By 1983 the band were over, with Danny heading to South America and the Parkins sisters to New York, but their brief SF moment shone with a peculiar, musically naive but still knowing charm. Fans of angular post-punk luminaries like the Bush Tetras, the Raincoats or Y Pants will love this CD, which comes filled with bonus demo, live and rehearsal recordings. |

ESSENDON AIRPORT - PALIMPSEST (2CD)
Chapter is very excited to announce a 30th anniversary reissue of Palimpsest, the one and only album by Melbourne post-punk icons Essendon Airport. Recorded in December 1981, Palimpsest is now reborn as a double disc package with a whole bonus CD of live and unreleased studio recordings spanning 1980-83. Originally gentle and inquisitive, with beats supplied by a drum machine ripped from a home organ, Essendon Airport began to expand after Sonic Investigations and explore the possibilities of rhythm. First came classically-untrained drummer Paul Fletcher, and then saxophonist Ian Cox, to form the four piece lineup heard on Palimpsest. With its dryly intoned vocals, flailing polyrhythms and a postmodern fascination with appropration and quotation, the album is an eccentric post-punk classic. The album title means "a manuscript page from which the text has been scraped off to be used again", while the original liner notes state "all" "songs" "written" "and" "produced" "by" "Essendon Airport". The bonus Live+More disc collates 18 recordings, from the duo period to the impressivly muscular, previously undocumented five piece lineup. The original 1982 vinyl version of Palimpsest was presented in . Disc One: Palimpsest (1981) 1. Correct Pitch? 2. No Quarter 3. Re-Funkt 4. I Feel A Song Coming On 5. Jig 6. Like Young 7.

FABULOUS DIAMONDS - II
Melbourne duo Fabulous Diamonds are an odd pair. They make overtly hypnotic music, full of lulling, sensual repetition, but theres also an edge of irritation, an undercurrent of friction that cuts through the drone and propels the songs forward. Second album Fabulous Diamonds II by Fabulous Diamonds begins with drummer/vocalist Nisa Venerosa yelling at keyboardist Jarrod Zlatic as he counts in the first track, but they still start together in perfect unison. Its this combination of tension and intuitive understanding that makes Fabulous Diamonds so special. They have been playing and arguing together for more than five years now, and their musical bond has grown deeper and more expansive since their 2008 self-titled debut. That album made it into revered UK mag The Wires top albums of the year, and got glowing reviews from the likes of Pitchfork and The Fader. But this new record is still a remarkable development. Of its five untitled tracks, two extend well past the ten minute mark, sustaining a kind of grumpy intensity that never lags. The album was recorded with budding producer Mikey Young of Eddy Current Suppression Ring, and was mastered by Quas Cornel Wilczek. Like their first album, it will be released on vinyl by venerable US label Siltbreeze, home to releases by the likes of Pink Reason, Times New Viking and Psychedelic Horseshit. |

KANENOBU, SACHIKO - MISORA
"Misora" (which can be roughly translated as Beautiful Sky), the 1972 debut album by Sachiko Kanenobu, a woman generally acknowledged as Japans first female singer-songwriter. Its a near-perfect folk masterpiece, alternating full-bodied arrangements (produced by Harry Hosono of Yellow Magic Orchestra and Happy End) with Sachikos lonesome guitar and pure, soaring vocals. Discovered as an precocious 18 year old in Osaka, Sachiko was signed in 1968 to Japans first ever independent record company, URC (Underground Record Club), who changed Japans musical landscape irrevocably in the late 60s and early 70s with artists like Happy End, Folk Crusaders and Kenji Endo. Sachiko was the only female artist on this era-defining label and the very fact that she wrote and sang her own songs made her a rarity among Japanese women. Featuring extensive liner notes, lyrics translated into English by Sachiko herself, and never before seen photos from the singers own archives. |

LAKES (AUSTRALIA) - LAKES
Lakes is Melbourne musician and artist Sean Bailey, whose musical pedigree extends from roots in mid-90s Tasmanian hardcore to Melbourne groups as notable and diverse as Ninetynine, the Vivian Girls, George W. Bush, Flesh Vs Venom and many others. Since 2002, Sean has been performing by himself or with occasional guests as Lakes, using distorted drum machines, casio keyboards, guitar and percussion to create an intriguing, angular, bordering-on-dissonant musical world. His debut self-titled album is a completely self-recorded affair made at home on secondhand stereo tape machines and four-tracks. Nevertheless, the sound on Lakes is huge, claustrophobic and powerful, sidestepping any issues of fidelity through sheer dynamism. The album alternates between structured works and more freeform, often instrumental performances. It includes an excoriating version of Song Of Investment Capital Overseas by late 70s highbrow prog-punks the Art Bears. |

MAHER SHALAL HASH BAZ - LIVE AOIHEYA JANUARY 2003
MCD. Tori formed Maher Shalal Hash Baz in the mid 80s with neighbours who could not play any instruments, and for the better part of 20 years has been pursuing a single-minded vision of music as simple, spontaneous and unpredictable. The bands always changing lineup of anywhere from three to thirty people features mostly untrained musicians playing music often shown to them on the day of its performance, expressing the innate beauty of failure as much as of success. The band began releasing records in 1989, but did not come to worldwide attention until a decade later, when their marvelously ambitious triple album Return Visit To Rock Mass was released. MSHB were invited to tour outside of Japan for the first time. In 1999, when UK label Geographic released From A Summer To Another Summer, a compilation of Maher recordings. Soon the band were touring the US and Europe regularly, and Geographic released their most recent album Blues Du Jour in 2003. Live Aoiheya January 2003 documents an entire brief performance by this unique band, incidentally the first Maher show that Chapter boss Guy Blackman saw after moving to live in Japan in 2002 (he returned to Melbourne in 2004). It captures the band in a variety of guises unusual even for them, including an extended abstract instrumental, songs based on conversations between band members, passages by Japanese composers, vocal relays and a Brahms Waltz. In the EPs 26 minutes Maher Shalal Hash Baz manage to cover more ground than most bands do in their whole career, all the while maintaining a spirit and idiosyncracy that is idenitifiably their own. |

MOORE, CLARE - THE THIRD WOMAN
Clare Moore is the drummer for the Dave Graney Band, and a founding member of The Moodists. On her first and only solo album, Clare plays all instruments except a small amount of guitar, and has a unique, sophisticated style just barely comparable to 80's period Serge Gainsbourg or a city-slicker Bobby Gentry. |

PIKELET - PIKELET
Pikelet is Evelyn Morris, a 24 year old musical wunderkind from the outer suburbs of Melbourne who began life as a hardcore-obsessed drummer, and still currently serves on sticks in such heavy-hitting Melbourne institutions as Baseball and True Radical Miracle. But a couple of years ago, something tickled Evelyns brain in a funny way and she felt compelled to grab an old accordion, a guitar and a delay pedal, and launch a decidedly un-hardcore solo career. Engineered and produced by US uber-producer Casey Rice (Tortoise, Sea & Cake, Ben Lee and countless others), Pikelets debut self-titled album is a gorgeous, multi-tiered work of swirling and shifting melody, layered harmonies and charming story-telling, almost entirely performed by Evelyn herself. All in all, Pikelet is a uniquely assured and distinctive debut. |

ROBISON, CHRIS -& HIS MANY HAND BAN - CHRIS ROBISON & HIS MANY HAND BAND
Chris Robison and his Many Hand Band, released privately in 1973 and reissued now on CD for the first time, was one of the worlds first records by an openly gay songwriter. Coming just a few years after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, Many Hand Band is a dazzling feat of musical daring. But Chris Robison is not just a pioneering gay musician, he is an all-pervasive presence in New York rock from the late 60s onwards, having played with everyone fron Elephants Memory and Steam to Kiss, the New York Dolls, John Phillips and Bob Dylan. Not only that, Many Hand Band is a totally freewheeling and unique album, coalescing all the sensory overload of downtown New York City life in the early 70s. It touches on folk, psychedelia rock, Latin funk and more, all filtered through Robisons sly and cheeky personality. There is no "woe is me" self-pity here, just an uplifting sense of fun and natural self-expression. Recorded almost totally by Chris himself late at night in a cut rate studio, Many Hand Band is one of the few remaining undiscovered classics from the period, gay or otherwise. Its difficult to appreciate now, more than thirty-five years later, how daring and how groundbreaking songs like Looking For A Boy Tonight and Italian Boy were on their release. In the albums comprehensive liner notes, filled with rare photos and a frank interview with Chris, he talks of RCA records turning him down because they didnt want another "faggot" on their roster (aside from Lou Reed and David Bowie). Meanwhile he became a poster boy for the burgeoning gay lib movement, playing Washington Square Park with Bette Midler in front of thousands in 1973. After Many Hand Band and its followup Manchild (to be released by Chapter Music in 2010) Chris would go on to play with pre-Kiss group Wicked Lester, as well as join the New York Dolls for their Japanese tour of 1975. |

TULLY - LIVE AT SIDNEY TOWN HALL, 1969-1970
Chapter Music presents two rare live recordings from quintessential Sydney prog group Tully, including their 1970 performance of Australias first ever rock opera. These recordings capture the band in their first incarnation, before they joined forces with members of revered folk-psych band Extradition to explore more contemplative territory. Formed in late 1968, Tully the First were wild, expansive and unpredictable, their live shows now the stuff of legend. Terry Wilson (vocals), Richard Lockwood (reeds), Michael Carlos (organ), John Blake (bass) and Robert Taylor (drums) employed extended improvisation, spacious dynamics and an intuitive intensity, so impressing Australian jazz icon John Sangster that he called them "the best band in the world at the time." In mid 69, Tully became the house band for love-rock musical Hair, recording the original cast album later that year. They also starred in a six part live-in-studio series Fusions. which premiered on ABC TV in August 1969. Sights & Sounds Of 69, from a May show of the same name, is the only live Tully recording to have survived the intervening four decades, and documents a typically far-ranging, mind-expanding performance. Ken Firth (later of the Ferrets) replaced John Blake on bass in December 1969. Perhaps Australias greatest living composer, Peter Sculthorpe wrote Love 200 specifically with Tully and vocalist Jeannie Lewis in mind. The work, commemorating Captain Cooks expedition to map the Transit of Venus in 1769, was dismissed by the stuffy classcial establishment at the time, but Sculthorpe now calls it simply "one of my best works." Heard here for the first time since the early 70s, Love 200 is an astounding piece, both elegant and jarring, serene and chaotic. After Tullys 1970 self-titled debut, Wilson and Taylor left the band, which then assimilated Extraditions Shayna Stewart and Colin Campbell before releasing two more albums, Sea Of Joy (1971) and Loving Is Hard (1972), both markedly different from their fiery and often thunderous early form. |

VARIOUS - LOVING TAKES THIS COURSE (2CD)
A Tribute To The Songs Of KATH BLOOM. Sixteen artists from around the world come together to pay tribute to the arresting, gorgeous songs of Connecticut folk-singer Kath Bloom. Since the mid-'70s, Kath has beguiled listeners with her haunting voice and powerfully honest songwriting. In the 1980s, she made six albums with avant-garde guitarist LOREN CONNORS which are now highly-prized collector's items. Then in the 1990s, her bewitching song "Come Here" transfigured the Richard Linklater film Before Sunrise. But it is in the last few years that Kath Bloom has truly come into her own. Beginning with the Chapter Music album Finally in 2006, Kath has begun to reach a whole new generation of fans, including many who make music themselves. Compiled over two years by Chapter's GUY BLACKMAN and San Francisco filmmaker CAVEH ZAHEDI (who first met Kath in 1980), Loving Takes This Course features artists such as BILL CALLAHAN, DEVENDRA BANHART, MARK KOZELEK, THE DODOS AND SCOUT NIBLETT. Loving Takes This Course is a double-CD set, featuring one disc of covers and one of the original versions of Kath's songs. Other artists include: LAURA JEAN, MICK TURNER & PEGGY FREW, JOSEPHINE FOSTER, MIA DOI TODD, CORRINA REPP, MARIANNE DISSARD, JOEY BURNS, AMY RUDE, TOM HANFORD, MEG BAIRD, and THE CONCRETES. |
