ARTIFACTS & URANIUM - THE GATELESS GATE

Following on from 'Artifacts & Uranium' (2021) and 'Panscosmology' (2022), 'The Gateless Gate' completes this trilogy of remote experimentation. Two side long compositions, composed of organs, synths, bass, guitars, drums, h-delays and the Behringer Wasp. Side A is laid back repetition, layered guitar ascending, tremolo organs and gated synths. That descends in to horror show choir and waster feedback guitars. Side B starts a pastoral, Popol Vuh harmonic structure of accession. Viola drones balance assist the climb courtesy of Martin Ash. Transitions in to a later period AshRa, bass lines and higher stereo delayed guitar freak-outs. Fred Laird - organ, synth, bass, percussive guitars, drums, sun gong, mix and production, Mike Vest - bass, synth, lead guitars and h- delays, Martin Ash - viola.

GREEN WAS GREENER - LOVE DIVINE

Green Was Greener is the solo project of Thomas Stratakis, who returns two years after the release of the debut 'Introspective' with the album entitled 'Love Divine.' The songs are inspired from loss, futility, death and Dante's 'Divine Comedy.' Although the creative process did not start with this concept, specific circumstances and personal experiences resulted in a very personal album. Sonically, the twelve tracks explore neo-psychedelia within the context of pop music, without any specific musical influences.

MAHTI - MUSIIKKI 1

Mahti are a Finnish four-piece group presenting a unique mixture of ambient-rock, electronic music and traditional Finnish-Karelian music. Lengthy semi-improvisational pieces are built on top of complex, hypnotic grooves which are layered with opaque guitars and strangely soothing noise elements. In the heart of it all there's kantele, an ancient Finnish string instrument played by Hannu Saha, who has studied Finnish folk music in theory and practice for nearly five decades. The other players are Jussi Lehtisalo and Tomi Leppänen, who also form the rhythmic core of avant-rock group Circle, and psychiatrist Teemu Elo. Strange dreams guaranteed! Limited edition of 300 copies all pressed on transparent orange marmalade coloured vinyl, housed in a gorgeous matt laminated outer sleeve with polylined inner bag and download code.

BRINSLEY SCHWARZ - LIVE ARCHIVE, VOL. 4

Widely regarded as one of the best live bands on the 1970s pub rock circuit, Brinsley Schwarz released a string of classic albums to critical, if not commercial, acclaim. Digging deep into his personal archive, Ian Gomm, the band's guitarist and songwriter, has unearthed a wealth of live recordings that capture the Brinsleys at their best. 'Live Archive Vol. 4' captures Brinsley Schwarz playing intimate venues in France and Germany to enthusiastic audiences. Recorded direct from the desk with no mixing or post-production, this recording captures the atmosphere of a great night out with music from one of the best live jukeboxes you could hope to see and hear.

FACES (UK) - IN CONCERT 1970-71

When Steve Marriott left the Small Faces in 1969, the three remaining members brought in guitarist Ron Wood and lead singer Rod Stewart to complete the line-up and changed their name to the Faces, which was only appropriate since the group now only slightly resembled the mod-pop group of the past. Instead, the Faces were a rough, sloppy rock & roll band, able to pound out a rocker like 'Had Me A Real Good Time,' a blues ballad like 'Tell Everyone,' or a folk number like 'Richmond' all in one album. Stewart, already becoming a star in his own right, let himself go wild with the Faces, tearing through covers and originals with abandon. While his voice didn't have the power of Stewart, bassist Ronnie Lane's songs were equally as impressive and eclectic. Wood's rhythm guitar had a warm, fat tone that was as influential and driving as Keith Richards' style. TRACKS: June 25th, 1970: 01. It's All Over Now 02. I Don't Want To Discuss It 03. Wicked Messenger 04. Devotion 05. I Feel So Good May 13th, 1971: 06. You're My Girl 07. Bad N' Ruin 08. It's All Over Now 09. Had Me A Real Good Time 10. (I Know) I'm Losing You

HAVEN GREEN - BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT

In the mid-eighties Steve Somerset was living in London and working as part of the creative team for Kevin Godley and Lol Creme at their video production company Medialab. He was living in Ealing near a green space called Haven Green and thought The Haven Green sounded like the name of a late sixties band; he even came up with a title for their album 'To Whom It May Concern' released in April 2022. 'Beyond A Shadow Of A Doubt' is the follow up. For The Haven Green's second outing, Steve Somerset has expanded his original idea and given it a twist. Take a pinch of psych, add a cup of pop, mix in a handful of your favourite '60s rock influences, let it simmer and without the shadow of a doubt you have the new album by The Haven Green. This second album is more reflective. There's a hint of autumnal melancholy to the songs but also a playful post-modern sensibility. Listen to 'The Stars Shine Of Their Own Accord', a track that mixes Ravi Shankar with Joe Meek.

MAZZY STAR - LIVE TONIGHT

If psychedelic music had a voice in '90s post-punk, Mazzy Star may have been its strongest reincarnation. That doesn't necessarily mean that fans of the Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead will find the band to their liking, however. Mazzy Star much preferred the dark side of psychedelia, as exemplified by the most distended tracks of the Doors and the Velvet Underground. Their fuzzy guitar workouts and plaintive, folky compositions are often suffused in a dissociative ennui that is very much of the '90s, however much their textures may recall the drug-induced states of vintage psychedelia. Although Mazzy Star was nominally a full band, they were basically the core duo of guitarist David Roback and singer Hope Sandoval with backing musicians. The album comprises a unique live in the studio acoustic set recorded for KCRW and two full band sets recorded in Chicago and Los Angeles TRACKS: 01. Bells Ring [live on KCRW] 02. Into Dust [live on KCRW] 03. Halah [live on KCRW] 04. Flowers In December [live at the Metro Chicago] 05. Into Dust [live at the Metro Chicago] 06. Give You My Lovin' [live at the Metro Chicago] 07.

SINGING LOINS - JAZZY ANGELS/SOME ARE BORN

Chris (Brod) Broderick & Chris (Arf) Allen started The Singing Loins as a stripped-down acoustic duo in 1990, with the aim of writing honest, bare songs, outside of any particular style, coining the phrase 'Authentic Raw Folk from the Medway Delta'. Their first two albums were recorded with Billy Childish and released on Hangman Records. After a couple more self-released albums, an album with Billy Childish ('At The Bridge'), and plenty of acclaimed shows both home and abroad, the lads had a bit of a row on stage and went their different ways. Six years later, in 2005, they shook hands and returned with the triumphant 'Songs To Hear Before You Die.' A year later they were joined by Rob Shepherd, who played banjo, mandolin and accordion, followed by John Forrester on bass. From there they went from strength to strength, releasing four more albums for Damaged Goods and touring Eastern Europe, Germany and France. They combusted again in 2013, returning briefly in 2019 to record what turned out to be their swansong, '13 Moon Songs From Merry Hell.' Chris Broderick sadly passed away in early 2022, having let Arf know that he wanted the others to carry on in The Singing Loins' name, at which point Arf and Rob got together with Billy Childish again to write and record 'The Fighting Temeraire' LP, dedicated to Brod's memory. 'Jazzy Angels' was written by Brod and Glenn Barnes before The Singing Loins even existed, for their band Dumfounded, which Arf ended up joining on bass. Brod's ex-wife, Amanda (Maff) Randall, recalls, "'Jazzy Angels' describes Chris and I meeting on the steps of Coventry Cathedral when he first came to visit my home city. He loved how the modern building, with its intensely coloured stained glass and engravings of wildly dancing angels, emerges from the blackened ruins of the bombed out old cathedral." 'Jazzy Angels' was never recorded at the time. Arf thinks he "probably heard a demo of it before I joined Dumfounded. After Chris died, around the time I was thinking a lot about him, I just woke up with it my head." Arf remembered it word-for-word, recorded it on his phone, sent it to Rob, and the pair of them worked it up, bringing John in to add bass. It sounded great, so they decided to release it as a tribute to Brod. 'Some Are Born' was written by Arf and based on a William Blake poem. It was initially written for 2009's 'Unravelling England' album but didn't make the final cut and was never recorded... until now. Limited to 500 copies.

After 20 years, ten albums, more than a thousand gigs in thirty countries worldwide and tens of thousands of tour kilometers covered, Frigg still has the same passion as in the early days.

JONSSON, LENA -TRIO- - ELEMENTS

In her native Sweden, Lena Jonsson is one of the best-known folk musicians today. She celebrates a fresh, modern and above all open view of the folk tradition and draws inspiration from many different musical styles from all over the world. This is no different with her third album 'Elements'. Lena Jonsson has composed all tracks from scratch. Although she is oriented towards traditional Swedish folk music, the songs skilfully take impulses from jazz, rock and bluegrass. The result is a sound which is traditional and modern at the same time. The Lena Jonsson Trio combines traditional Scandinavian shepherd instruments such as the cow horn and the African instruments balafon and mbira.

HAMPER, GUY -TRIO- FEATURING JAMES TAYLOR - ALL THE POISONS IN THE MUD/FIRE

The Guy Hamper Trio was formed by Billy Childish, after a chat with his friend James Taylor (Hammond organ). They had played respectively in The Milkshakes and The Prisoners, often sharing the same bill in the early '80s. And indeed, Billy's blues ensemble: The Natural Born Lovers were the support act for the early shows of The James Taylor Quartet. The Guy Hamper Trio is: Billy Childish on guitar, his wife Julie on bass and Wolf Howard on drums - who as it happens was the drummer in the original incarnation of JTQ - and of course features James Taylor on Hammond organ. The Guy Hamper Trio provide a bottom end, blues-influenced instrumental mayhem for those unafraid of dirt, germs and true grime. With no particular wish other than to be recognised as the best at playing badly, while they obey no terms and conditions. Their first 45 ('Polygraph Test'/'Sally Sensation') was released in 2009 through Damaged Goods, and a full-length studio album, 'All The Poisons In The Mud,' appeared, as if by magic in 2022, also on Damaged Goods. The title 'All The Poisons In The Mud' is also the title of a novel that Billy Childish has been writing, and rewriting, over the past twelve years about his brief plunge in the punk scene of 1977. It is also a quote from 'I, Claudius' by Robert Graves; a major influence on the fifteen-year old Gus Claudius AKA Billy Childish. This twin-spin single includes the title track from the recent album 'All The Poisons In The Mud,' backed with a cover of Jimi Hendrix's excellent tune 'Fire' (written just down the road from Chatham when Jimi was visiting Noel Redding's parents in Folkestone). After consultation with experts in the field, it was decreed that these tracks needed to be on a 7" single, for the enjoyment of the revellers and all those prone to frequent discotheques throughout England, the UK, Europe, the USA, Indonesia and beyond!

VERAS - LADIES FIRST/SHOOT THEM ALL

The Veras are four fellas making music inspired by all the great music from the '50s right up to about 5 minutes ago. Spending years playing shows all over the land for their very well-established Small Faces tribute band (Small Fakers), the four wanted to create something new, and thus The Veras was born, just before the pandemic hit! After backing soul legend PP Arnold on numerous occasions and having rock legends Kenney Jones (Small Faces, Faces, Who) and Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) getting up to play with them on numerous occasions, with their new offering their second-ever gig was with the aforementioned Glen Matlock and long-term David Bowie collaborator Earl Slick! Since then, they've released two vinyl 7" singles and a couple of CD-only releases, also releasing their debut album 'V For Veras' late 2022. Music media describe the band's music as 'hard-edged melodic Britpop' and likening them to groups as diverse as The Small Faces, Manfred Mann, The James Gang, The Prisoners, Supergrass and Blur. 'Ladies First' is a sparkling bubble of gender-bending-all-niches-included group hug of a gnarly fuzz pop song, whilst 'Shoot Them All' is a balls-out rockabilly-tinged hit. Both tracks were recorded and produced by Morgan Nicholls, former bass player with indie-pop band The Senseless Things. Morgan has since worked with Muse, Lily Allen, Gorillaz, The Streets and The Who, along with his dad Billy (who was a song-writing and performing collaborator with Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane when he and Small Faces were both on Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate record label, making yet another link between The Veras and the Darlings of Whapping Wharf).

CHILDISH, BILLY -& CTMF- - LOVE COMES IN SPURTS EP

Wild Billy Childish has been recording and performing since the 1977 punk explosion. The Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, The Headcoats and The Buff Medways are just a few musical outfits that Billy has been involved with part time. His day job is being an internationally exhibited artist and poet. CTMF (The Chatham Forts) was the first group name Billy came up with for a group whilst he was Head of Research for The Medway Military Research Group - investigating the Medway Fortifications (as well as being an Apprentice Stonemason at Chatham Dockyard, Kent, 1976). It wasn't until 2013 that Billy got around to utilising the name. CTMF features his wife Julie on bass/vocals and Wolf Howard on drums (both playing with Billy in previous incarnations over the years). Described by Billy as 'the epitome of modern: the sound of yesterday, tomorrow!', CTMF have released ten albums and over thirty singles/EPs. This four-track 7" EP includes four song versions recorded for broadcast on Marc Riley's show on BBC6 Music on the evening of 31st August 2022. Opening up with a take on Richard Hell's 'Love Comes In Spurts,' (endorsed by Richard himself), followed by 'Failure Not Success,' a track that showcases Billy at his poetic best. Both are alternative takes from February 2023's LP release 'Failure Not Success.' The tracks that follow are 'Petrol In A Cup' and 'Love Can Lose.' "This will be much like the way we do things, and hopefully it'll be in accord with your expectation, but not necessarily" (Billy Childish - July '19). Limited to 500 copies.

The 10th release from Dutch DIY punk label Subunderground C.A. is a killer 7-inch compilation-EP featuring six songs from five bands, hailing from the Netherlands as well as the UK. Of course there are contributions from the label's usual suspects, Dutch 'fuzztopian' punk duo Ford's Fuzz Inferno and the (briefly) reunited early '80s hc-heroes Waste. The third Dutch band on the 'Compulsive Agitation' EP is another great revived combo: Scoundrels, originally around between 1979 and 1990, and back on the scene since early 2022. Also present are the awesome, female fronted UK group Rhi & The Relics (old school punk rock for fans of !Action Pact! and Vice Squad) and the related crust punk duo Krust Worthy. Four of the six songs are previously unreleased. The EP (limited to 400 copies) comes with full-colour artwork, an insert/outsert featuring an alternative front cover and info about the bands (it's an incestuous affair!), and a plastic outer protection sleeve. SIDE 1: 1. Krust Worthy - Protect And Serve* 2. Waste - Everything Is Grey 3. Scoundrels - Reptile Brain* 4. Krust Worthy - Sab The Hunters SIDE 2: 1. Ford's Fuzz Inferno - A Messed Up Situation* 2.

SEA URCHINS - STARDUST

Cutting their teeth as teens in a West Bromwich bedroom, The Sea Urchins were nothing like the heavy metal that seemed to fill every bar in the UK black Country. Fringe haircuts, perfect trousers, suede jackets and infectious tambourines gave plenty of hints as to their youthful ambition, but nothing could fully prepare you for just how utterly spellbinding these songs would be. Compiling their fanzine-only flexi material with the full complement of singles for Sarah Records, 'Stardust' runs chronologically from late 1986 to the middle of 1989, beginning with the singles split for Clare Wadd's Kvatch and Matt Haynes' Sha La La, before hitting the first of what would be an even hundred releases from the new label Wadd and Haynes would form - Sarah. The song that launched a legendary label and defined a sound, a scene, a place and time; 'Pristine Christine' still rings out as immediate and magical today as it did on first listen. What a glorious jangly rush racing around the corners of pop's history! The band would reach such heights time and again over the course of this three year burst. The melancholy swinging folk of 'Everglade' and it's wonderfully yearning vocal; the organ-fueled British invasion garage rock sing-a-long of 'Solace'; the playful psych pop of 'A Morning Odyssey'; the acoustic sweep of 'Wild Grass Pictures'; the perfectly named 'Summershine' leaving you with a ramshackle smile out on the dancefloor. All of it is just so filled with delicate humanity, yet somehow absolutely perfect. As Bob Stanley said about the shimmering ballad 'Please Rain Fall' while bestowing it with NME Single Of The Week (an honor also bestowed upon 'Pristine Christine'), "think of some variations on the word marvelous and you're most of the way there." In their time, they might have seemed wildly out of step, but it's not crazy to say that things could have been very different for the likes of Radiohead, The La's, and Oasis without The Sea Urchins.

ASHCROFT, FRAN - A TOUR OF BRITISH DUCK PONDS

TLAK Goes DIY series presents 'A Tour Of British Duck Ponds' by Fran Ashcroft, best known as the record producer with a skill for using the minimum number of microphones and tracks to get the best sound. In this return to artistry, his solo album was recorded completely at home where he played every instrument himself. The very eccentric British tour is characterized by his "less is more" approach across its ten songs, driven for the most part by quirky, keyboard based tunes that will remain in your head long after you've heard them and whose subject matter may be ironically offensive.

BORDELLO, BRIAN - SONGS FOR CILLA TO SING

TLAK Goes DIY series presents 'Songs For Cilla To Sing,' a long lost tape recently discovered and recovered loaded with home demos recorded by cult-British songwriter and "king of lo-fi" according to Goldmine mag, Brian Bordello (of The Bordellos). These were all songs meant for Cilla Black's ears to hear and, hopefully, sing. The singer had retired by the time it finally reached her, but some songs duly appeared on other groups releases. Finally, collectors of underground music can marvel at what might have been by listening to the original tape, remastered and preserved for posterity on this disc.

LMNOP (USA) - LMNO3

TLAK Goes DIY series presents the third album from underground popsters LMNOP (aka Stephen Fievet), cleverly titled 'LMNO3.' This album of ultra-catchy guitar pop with clever lyrics and hooks galore, along with Fievet's deceptively innocent vocals, is fairly described as one of their most accessible. Originally released only as an independent cassette in 1985, this reissue goes back to the recently unearthed master tapes and has been carefully remastered. Several songs went on to be re-recorded for the fourth LP, that was actually on an elpee! Several related out-takes and demos have been added to this expanded edition. A must pick for any smart powerpop fan.

PERCIVAL, HAWK - NIGHT MOODS

TLAK Goes DIY series presents 'Night Moods' by Los Angeles singer songstress Hawk Percival. It's an intriguing and highly melodic debut album with twelve short and exceptionally catchy progressive pop tunes that will leave you wanting more. Using piano, synthesizer, and guitar as her main instruments, the tracks reflect her love for '60s British Invasion rock, baroque pop, yacht rock, and prog rock. They are inspired by love, heartbreak, intense emotions and nature.

ASHINE, ASELEFECH -& GETENESH KEBRET- - BEAUTIES

One of the most stunning and unique albums of the Ethiopian golden age of jazz, never reissued in full until now. This album was the only LP released by the mysterious Aselefech Ashine and Getenesh Kebret, two young women backed by one of the hardest-charging jazz and funk bands of the Ethiopian scene. The record was a huge hit in Ethiopia back in 1976, but the artists never released another album. Finally this record sees a well-deserved reissue.

SIDIBE, NAMIAN - NAMIAN SIDIBE

Another side of modern Malian praise songs: an intimate, stripped down, acoustic session from Namian Sidibé. From a rising generation of young Malian divas leveraging social media, Namian has built a following, publishing videos and dedications in song, accompanied by her cousin Jules Diabaté on acoustic guitar. Recorded at her home, with powerful yet restrained vocals that drift over melancholy acoustic guitar, Namian explores epic generational songs and poetry.

SECOND LAYER - COURTS OR WARS

Adrian Borland and Graham Bailey might be better known as members of legendary post-punk group The Sound, but the two were childhood friends and had been playing together even earlier in The Outsiders, and continued their deep musical rapport as a duo, creating these intense and engaging songs as Second Layer at the same time as their higher profile band output. Combining their early recordings, including the 1979 'Flesh As Property' EP and 1980 'State Of Emergency' EP, 'Courts Or Wars' takes its title from the first song that served as the pair's introduction to listeners. Right from the beginning you are enveloped in what The Quietus described as, "a monochrome worldview morbidly obsessed with the dehumanizing effect of war, nuclear weapon annihilation, and the fracturing and negation of the self within an increasingly distorted and technologically mediated society." Where The Sound fit snugly next to Echo And The Bunnymen, Second Layer had far more in common with the pulsing menace of Suicide. Borland's familiar vocals and sense of melody hold a connection to his other songwriting, but within these songs he takes far more risks in his guitar work to suit the subject matter. What really drives everything is Bailey's propulsive bedrock, formed by his homemade pre-drum machine rhythm generators, creating an innovative mechanical approach that somehow inserts a jittery neurotic touch that merges perfectly with his electronic layers driven by the wasp synth, various unique effects boxes or tape loops. Adding in Bailey's own distinctive bass playing, the results feel personal and experimental, pointed and harsh, while also bracingly accessible and covered in dark manic energy. Over forty years later, these recordings feel shockingly appropriate. In painting a bleak reality and frightening future, there is real desperate beauty here.

400 LONELY THINGS - MOTHER MOON

This album from 400 Lonely Things, produced by William Basinski, is a dark ambient, sample-based séance to the Banning Mill - a real-life decaying "mansion" and haven for artists, freaks and misfits in the backwoods of the American Deep South in the 1970s-1990s - and an extraordinary piece of art that lived there. An archaeological excursion in found sound - wandering through the art and memory of a real place, 'Mother Moon' is an origin story for 400 Lonely Things. In the '90s, Craig Varian was fortunate enough to frequent the Mill in the years before it closed. It was here that he was exposed to the artwork of Richard Scott Hill, whose artwork 'Minotauress' graces the album cover. His work both captured and fed into the Mill's sinister yet playful undercurrents of mania and depression. This album, born out of that first visit to the Mill, is an imaginary soundtrack to the many years of solitude the Minotauress spent hanging in the musty, secret winding halls of Banning Mill. Since the days of the Mill (and Varian's subsequent purchase of 'Minotauress' shortly before the Mill closed), Craig Varian, along with best friend and late musical partner Jonathan McCall, found a thread of music they'd been consistently making yet had previously failed to notice - melancholic instrumentals with weathered sampling at its core - going back to their earliest recordings in the late 1980's. Eventually, this music was called 400 Lonely Things.

SLEEP RESEARCH FACILITY/LLYN Y CWN - SARGO/POSIDONIA

The ultimate deep listening experience from two masters of dark ambient. A slow descent into the blackened watery abyss, where light cannot reach. The first release from Sleep Research Facility since 2012's 'Stealth' (Cold Spring) is inspired by the deep sea ocean floor. The Canadian-based composer explores notions of awareness and perception in the sub/unconscious listener. Focusing primarily on sound bereft of rhythm based energies, SRF provides an environments wherein the music adds texture to the silence. Using form without structure and concentrating on space as opposed to narrative, SRF entertains the idea that music can reside in the very fabric of sound itself. The material here was created specifically for this split release. Taking inspiration from the beautiful, but often harsh landscapes and environments of his home on Anglesey, North Wales, Llyn Y Cwn has built on the nautical theme of 'Du Y Moroedd' (Cold Spring). These tracks are based on field recordings relating to the ocean, and could be seen as a companion piece to the album. 'Dale Dawn' features a recording of the dawn chorus made from the floating pontoon at Dale, Pembrokeshire. 'Pebble' includes the sound of waves crashing on a Dorset cobble beach, thousands of rocks colliding in chorus. 'Doppler Current Profiler' is based on the sound of an ADCP, an acoustic sonar instrument used to measure water currents - a 600Khz ping slowed to a heartbeat.

VARIOUS - MUSICAL OFFERING

Available on CD for the first time, Soviet composers perform their works on the legendary ANS synthesizer. Recorded in 1971, 'Musical Offering' is 6 tracks (42 minutes) of experiments on the unique machine by: Eduard Artemiev (2 tracks), Oleg Buloshkin, Sofia Gubaidulina, Edison Denisov, and Alfred Schnittke. 'Musical Offering' demonstrates a 'musical' machine unlike any other and has long fascinated cutting edge, modern electronic composers, notably Coil and The Anti Group Communications (TAGC)/Clock DVA, that have both released recordings utilising the ANS. Try to imagine a score sounding by itself without a conductor; an orchestra without musical instruments. This magic is possible by using the musical ANS synthesizer. Created by Soviet scientist Evgeny Murzin over the course of 20 years, ANS is an instrument with which a composer can not only create but also draw their music without notes. You can see the twinkling of different lamps, the rotation of grooved glass discs... The drawings on the glass are 'sounding notes.' To listen to the drawn picture, press the button and a wonderful transformation will begin.˙Inside the ANS are five rotating glass discs with 144 tones printed (by hand) on each one. Light is projected through the discs and onto photovoltaic cellbank which converts the light into electricity and sends signals to the ANS's amplifiers and bandpass filters. The ANS can generate 720 tones this way and, unlike a human musician, play them all at the same time.˙Murzin dedicated his photoelectronic apparatus to Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin, hence the name ANS. Scriabin, the creator of the 'Poem Of Ecstasy,' and a famous explorer of synesthesia, used in his works a highly chromatic, new type of harmonic style designed to express his beliefs, views and wishes. These tracks have only ever been available on an LP pressed by the state-run Soviet Union label Melodiya over 30 years ago. Soviet music lovers will already know recordings made on ANS from Tarkovsky's films 'Solaris,' 'The Mirror' and 'Stalker,' Konchalovsky's film 'Siberiade' and others. Presented in a digipak with the new artwork by Abby Helasdottir (who also created the compelling promo video), complimenting the ANS process perfectly.˙Officially licensed from Russian state label Melodiya. Mastered by Martin Bowes at The Cage.

VARIOUS - CANTO A LO DIVINO (2LP)

'Canto A Lo Divino' is the unique musical expression of the Chilean peasant world - a conversation with the divine nourished by Biblical and other sacred texts. Rooted in the remote Central Valley of Chile at the skirt of the mountains and following the slopes of the major rivers, the Canto tradition has persisted for centuries in the voices of hundreds of men and women who sing of saints, the apocalypse, divine images, labour, drought, family and the cycle of plants. Mississippi Records is privileged to work with the Museo Campesino En Movimiento and their archive of hundreds of hours of intimate field recordings of the Canto - music rarely, if ever, heard outside of the region. Comes on a 2LP housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket with 8-page of lyric translations and liner notes about the Canto tradition by researcher Danilo Petrovich. TRACKS: 01. Gabriel Huentemil - Por David 02. Ema Madariaga - Por Sodoma Y Gomorra 03. Javier Salinas - por Despedimiento De Angelito 04. Santos Rubio - Por Nacimiento 05.

SCREAMERS - SCREAMERS DEMO HOLLYWOOD 1977

Repress. First official release from seminal LA punk band The Screamers. These songs were recorded a few months after the Los Angeles punk scene began. These five statements of intent transcend punk and project forward into the future: to the analog synth wave of the late '70s and beyond, to the present day, four decades later, when they finally receive an official release. Sourced from the original reel-to-reels, they are a revelation compared to the countless copies that have been circulating by multiple generations of tape-traders. Here, for the first time, is the Screamers' initial and legendary manifesto.
