Memories of Machines/Warm Winter ....vinyl LP $19.99

Memories of Machines/Warm Winter ....CD $15.99

Warm Winter is the debut album by Memories Of Machines, the duo comprising Tim Bowness (No-Man) and Giancarlo Erra (Nosound). While drawing on the atmospheric nature of their main bands, MoM carves out a unique space for itself with an emphasis placed on direct song-writing and powerful instrumental arrangements, as much as on mood.  Recorded in the UK, the US, Italy and Sweden, Warm Winter includes guest contributions from the likes of Peter Hammill, Colin Edwin, Robert Fripp, Steven Wilson, Julianne Regan (All About Eve), Jim Matheos (OSI/Fates Warning) and Huxflux Nettermalm (Paatos).  Offering an ambitious yet accessible combination of epic art rock and bittersweet, singer-songwriter intimacy, the album contrasts rich melodies, soaring choruses and stunning guitar solos (Warm Winter, Before We Fall) with ethereal ambient experiments (Lost And Found In The Digital World), and haunting, narrative-driven songs, such as the highly personal Schoolyard Ghosts.  Shifting from the sweetly delirious optimism of Change Me Once Again and Beautiful Songs You Should Know to the desolate self-reflection of the closing electronica / chamber classical hybrid At The Centre Of It All, Warm Winter is an assured and emotionally cohesive debut that ably highlights the sympathetic musical chemistry between Bowness and Erra.  The album, which is available as a digi-pack cd and a limited edition heavyweight vinyl release, was mixed by Steven Wilson and mastered by Jon Astley (The Who, Led Zeppelin, Tori Amos).

Hatfield & the North/Hatwise Choice

Having been out of print for a while now, this incredible live collection is finally being repressed!  Hatfield & The North were one of the most original, musically adventurous and fearlessly creative English bands of the 1970s. A leading light of the so-called 'Canterbury' music scene, Hatfield recorded two highly acclaimed albums (Hatfield & The North and The Rotters' Club) before breaking up in 1975. Apart from the deleted 1980 compilation Afters, no retrospective album has been released - until now!  Hatwise Choice is entirely performed by the classic Hatfield line-up of Phil Miller, Pip Pyle, Richard Sinclair and Dave Stewart. The album consists of over 68 minutes of 100% unreleased material culled from live concert tapes and first generation BBC radio recordings, and shows aspects of Hatfield's music never before heard on record. As well as rare tunes, musical surprises, photos, press cuttings, period artwork and an extensive history written by the four musicians, Hatwise Choice contains additional text by the best-selling novelist Jonathan Coe.

No-Man/Mixtaped ....import double DVD-NTSC (region 0) $29.99

Mixtaped: The first ever DVD release from No-Man.  Comprising the band's sell-out performance at London's Bush Hall in 2008, a comprehensive career-spanning documentary, Returning, and numerous extras (including newly commissioned and archive video footage), Mixtaped provides a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the band.   Returning:  Directed by award winning journalist Richard Smith, Returning is the story of No-Man.  At the start of their career, No-Man were described as 'conceivably the most important band since The Smiths' (Melody Maker). Almost 20 years later, Uncut claimed the band as 'Britain's most underrated sorrowful sonic architects'.   Returning reveals for the first time the No-Man's full history from their roots in a teenager's bedroom to an unsuccessful career in mainstream Pop; from near obscurity to increasing cult success.  Returning is the story of two musicians who've stuck to their belief in the transformative power of popular music, and the music industry's sometimes tense relationships with art, commerce and its audience.

Mont Campbell/Music From a Walled Garden ....import CD $29.99

We are pleased to announce the release of Music From a Walled Garden, the new solo album by Dirk 'Mont' Campbell. Mont was founder member and main composer of the experimental rock group Egg (1969-1972). The CD is a sequel to his 1996 solo work Music from a Round Tower, which was placed third in the International Green Dolphin Critics' Awards for that year, and continues his exploratory style of composition introducing rare non-western instrumental performance directly into western harmonic and formal structures. Musical contributors include Barbara Gaskin (vocals) and Julia Bishop of Red Priest (violin & viola). Mont's performances include a wide variety of folk winds, strings and percussion, and keyboards.  Mont Campbell says: 'In the mid 1970s I began to develop an interest in folk tradition and, increasingly, non-western music. Starting with the Balkans and moving through Greece and Turkey into the middle East, and then India and the far East, I gradually discovered a vast Aladdin's cave of entirely new musical ideas and instrumental sounds. Since that time I have been learning and gestating these various forms of musical expression, and introducing them into western-style composition. I enjoyed writing the music and I hope you enjoy listening to it.'  Music From a Walled Garden (56 minutes) ships in a full-colour Digipak with a 12-page booklet containing track notes, photos and musical information by Mont Campbell. "Once again, Mont has produced a beautiful, imaginative and thoughtful work with flashes of the humour that belie his 'serious composer' persona. All power to Dirk 'Mont' Campbell, one of the UK's unsung musical geniuses." Dave Stewart (keyboardist/composer)

Remastered 2 CD reissue of Bass Communion II with the long unavailable Bass Communion III (previously only available as a CDR) on the second disc.

The music is comparable to the more ambient and spacious moments of Porcupine Tree and No-Man. The focus is on stripped-down textures and careful, intriguing arrangements, though often spiked with a dark, rougher edge that suggests tension and deep undercurrents as much as quiet meditation.

Roger Eno/Anatomy ....import CD $19.99

Roger Eno/Anatomy ....import CD $19.99

An exquisite companion piece to Fragile (Music), Roger Eno's Anatomy expands upon the spare, piano only, experiments of his previous album, with a series of instinctive and reflective keyboard instrumentals deploying delicate textures and his typically distinctive use of space.  "In the main, the music that you hear on this disc is composed of collages. Most of the pieces had no real direction to begin with. I started with a clue rather than a grand plan- it could have been an ostinato, a chord progression, or a brief melodic idea." Roger Eno

Roger Eno/Flood ....import CD $19.99

Roger Eno/Flood ....import CD $19.99

'The music that you hear on this disc is an attempt to emulate a soundtrack, or musical backdrop, I constructed for the 2008 Salthouse Art Festival in North Norfolk. My intention was to have a piece of music that would play throughout the duration of the exhibition. I wanted it to be continually changing so as not to be tedious yet to be 'self-contained'. I decided to do this in the following way: Twenty 'events' (tracks of birdsong, bells, sparse melodies, vocal lines, bass notes etc.) were recorded on to four identical CDs. These tracks incidently included four 'events' of silences of varying lengths. The CDs were then placed in four machines that were set to 'random shuffle' and 'repeat all'. Thus an ever-changing random backdrop was set to 'self-compose'. I had made sure that the musical elements would not clash uncomfortably, having chosen the Lydian mode and sticking to it throughout.   A slightly different approach had to be taken in the creation of this C.D. I wished to keep the chance element, so critical to the 'live' soundtrack, and did so in the following simple manner:  Each 'event' was designated a number (1-20) and corresponding numbers were written with indelible felt-tipped pen on twenty old sixpences. These coins were then shaken in my hands and blindly sorted into a pile. The coin (number) at the top was the first event to be placed on track one. Once all coins were used up, I shook them, piled them and started track two–and so on to track four. I was honest with myself throughout this process and didn't change the chance order even when it looked like minutes of silence followed one another. I was,in fact, pleasantly surprised to hear how smoothly it sounded. I occasionally listen to 'Flood' at low volume whilst going about my day, it again becomes what it was intended to be, a backdrop rather than a focal point.' Roger Eno, 2008

Andy Butler/Livelooping

The debut solo CD from guitarist Andy Butler showcases an accomplished and mature talent. Utilizing Echoplex looping systems, the highly structured and composed pieces were recorded in real time, with no subsequent overdubs added.  Occasionally recalling the experimental solo guitar work of Phil Manzanera, Robert Fripp and Andy Summers, as well as drawing on complex gamelan rhythms, Butler's intriguing compositions avoid much of the improvised indulgence associated with the contemporary looping scene.

"What is with the Germans and the synthesiser? From Tangerine Dream Kraftwerk and Can, these Teutonic knob-twiddlers have wielded the sine wave like a scythe through our consciousness and they show no signs of slowing down with their sonic assault," wrote a baffled Sid Smith in his March 2000 review of this remarkable debut by german group Centrozoon. Eight years later, the duo of Bernhard Wastheinrich (synths) and Markus Reuter (touch guitar) needs no further introduction, having released a series of albums spanning from easily accessible soundscapes to utterly disturbing avantgarde scenarios and collages.  2008 finally sees the remastered re-release of this sold-out classic, complete with new artwork and an epic bonus track that didn't make it on the first edition.

Featuring the full trio of Michael Bearpark, Tim Bowness and Os.

Originally released in 1999, Seethrough is the most dynamic, twisted and song-orientated release in the band's career. Seven slices of electronica-driven aural assaults (occasionally recalling the more extreme experiments of Underworld or Wild Opera-era No-Man), find Messrs Bearpark, Bowness and Os maniacally playing with the possibilities of the turn of the century pop song. How S Club 8 should sound in 2003!   This new edition of 'Seethrough' includes a previously unreleased hidden track.

Egg/The Metronomical Society ....import CD $29.99

Egg consisted of Dave Stewart (keyboards), Mont Campbell (bass/vocals) and Clive Brooks (drums). Known for their uncompromising complexity and pinpoint accuracy of performance, the group was one of the most musically adventurous to emerge from the UK underground scene of the late '60s.  The Metronomical Society is a collection of live and studio recordings made by the pioneering trio between 1969 and 1972. It features archive material unheard for nearly 40 years, including a sizeable segment of Egg's last Roundhouse concert which demonstrates the group's live power. Also included are superior versions of tracks from the band's radio sessions, previously available only on poor-quality bootlegs.   The CD lasts over an hour and ships in a full-colour Digipak with a 20-page booklet containing Egg's history in the musicians' own words, unique period photos and artwork. The foreword is written by the irrepressible Captain Sensible.

Egg (Archive)/Copious Notes ....import Companion Booklet $21.99

Specially written to accompany the two Egg Archive CD releases, Copious Notes is a 60-page, 26,000-word companion booklet written by Dave Stewart, Mont Campbell and their close friend Antony Vinall.  The booklet tells the inside story of Uriel, Egg, Arzachel and the Ottawa Company from the formation of Uriel in early 1968 to the making of Egg's final album The Civil Surface in 1974. The text is crammed full of personal memoirs, anecdotes, short stories, random recollections, social observation, period details, musical analysis and song lyrics, as well as a priceless collection of archive photos taken by Terry Yetton and the musicians. An essential read for Canterbury and prog fans, UK music historians and collectors.  Dave Stewart says: "I'm delighted that the Egg tapes have come to light. The live recordings reflect exactly how the band sounded to me on stage, with a bite, attack and visceral power that our '70s studio albums failed to capture. Parts of Arzachel also give an accurate impression of what Uriel sounded like live; nearly 40 years on, it seemed like a good time to re-release it in its full psychedelic glory along with decent sleeve notes and our early demos. Copious Notes is probably the closest you can get to experiencing the sights, sounds, smells and sensations of our corner of the experimental/underground UK music scene of the late '60s."

Roger Eno's first album for over four years is the most uncompromising, personal and starkly beautiful of his career.  Comprising a series of haunting and spacious computer manipulated piano pieces, the quietly intense compositions on Fragile (Music) are the positive and cathartic outcome of the creative chronicling of a period of depression that blighted the composer's life during the early part of the decade.   With echoes of the cool Minimalism of Erik Satie and Harold Budd, Fragile (Music) represents a supremely consistent and moving statement from one of British music's lost treasures.

Ex-Wise Heads/Holding Up the Sky

Ex-Wise Heads third album heralds a significant change in both personnel and musical direction. More of a considered studio oriented creation than previous releases, Holding Up The Sky finds the original duo of Colin Edwin and Geoff Leigh augmenting the natural sound of Ex-Wise Heads with electronics, analog drum machines and ambient textures.   Featuring percussionist Rick Edwards (Hossam Ramsay, No-Man, Porcupine Tree) and trumpet player Ian Dixon (Ape, Ute, Irmin Schmidt), Holding Up The Sky contains an hour of new music.  Without losing the spontaneous and primal feel of previous Ex-Wise Heads releases, the band's original instrumental elements fit seamlessly into the more refined and sonically diverse soundscapes explored on Holding Up The Sky. The multi-tracked pitch shifted flutes on Snowdrift, Termite Parade's abstract percussion, the trance themed Accidental Design and the heavy, dublike, Gene Pool are highlights of what is easily the most accessible and ambitious Ex-Wise Heads release to date.

Featuring a cameo appearance by Robert Wyatt!  A collection of songs, instrumentals and vocal narrative pieces accompanied by video sequences that enhance the mood and content of each track. The audio has been recorded in 5.1 Surround Sound and is also stereo compatible. Each track invokes the spirit of the Canterbury Sound, possessing the musical originality and multi-instrumental dexterity associated with the genre but leavened with large doses of humour and eccentricity.  The Happy Accidents are one of the few 'Canterbury' bands that are actually based in the Canterbury area and have been in existence for over 20 years being a musical collective consisting of around ten members. Some of the members have come and gone with the varying formats that the band has adopted but there has always been a hard core that has provided the continuity - none more so than keyboard player and composer Graham Flight who in the 1960s was a one-time member of the original Canterbury band, The Wilde Flowers. All the members play a variety of acoustic and electronic instruments and jointly contribute to the complex musical arrangements and theatrical arrangements that are a feature of their live appearances.

Hatfield and the North/Hattitude

(excerpt from 'Grosso Lavoro')
Download     Stream

Archive recordings 1973-1975, Volume 2!  As on the highly popular Hatwise Choice (released in January 2005), the recordings are a mixture of live and studio tracks (including extracts from the band's radio sessions) and feature some hitherto unrecorded compositions.  Perhaps the best-loved of the so-called 'Canterbury' bands, Hatfield's music was a unique blend of its four members' ideas and compositions. Hattitude reflects this rich diversity, combining the dreamy lyrical songs of Richard Sinclair, Phil Miller's intricate jazz-tinged melodies, Dave Stewart's complex instrumentals and the free-flowing compositions of Pip Pyle, which include a touching autobiographical song. The written passages are punctuated with extended improvisations in which the band cut loose in a way they never quite managed to do on their 1970s studio albums.  Hattitude gives a rare insight into the band's live performances at a time of rapid musical development, charting their evolution from early gigs (including a notable concert recorded in the swirly psychedelic acoustics of Amsterdam's Paradiso club) through to the more sophisticated arrangements of 1975. En route there are moments of surreal humour and instrumental virtuosity, coupled with instances of sheer sonic savagery which reveal the extent of the madness in Hatfield's method. Virtually all the material is from first generation audio sources which have been digitally restored, ensuring good sound quality throughout.

The CD comes in a full colour Digipak with a 20-page booklet containing archive photos and period artwork. The band history initiated in Hatwise Choice continues with the four musicians recounting behind-the-scenes events, road stories, musical reflections and descriptions of recording their debut album in Oxfordshire's Manor Studios. These personal memoirs provide a detailed chronicle of the events of 1973, a 'year in the life' of a young, talented and exciting British band.  Hattitude is performed by the classic Hatfield line-up of Phil Miller (guitar), Pip Pyle (drums), Richard Sinclair (bass / vocals) and Dave Stewart (keyboards / tone generators).

Sadly, the CD follows the recent untimely death of the band's drummer and founder member Pip Pyle, who died in Paris on August 28th 2006. Keyboardist Dave Stewart says: "We are devastated by losing Pip - he was our dear friend, a brilliant drummer and an immensely creative lifelong colleague who I regarded as the driving force of Hatfield. He did a great job compiling the material for our archive CD's and was very keen that we should continue the series, so we are dedicating Hattitude (which contains moments of Pip at his best) to him. The music scene will be a duller place without Pip, but his memory and music will live on."

Hugh Hopper & Matt Howarth/The Stolen Hour

All The Blue Changes is the first career-overview compilation in No-Man's history and in addition to tracks from all the band's official albums contains b-sides, unique mixes and rare album outtakes.  Since 1988, over the course of five massively varied albums and several singles/outtakes collections, No-Man has produced a unique body of challenging work that has developed from the band's proto Trip-Hop/Dream Pop origins into something beyond easy categorisation.  After initial ecstatic press plaudits, indie top 20 hits and high profile contracts with One Little Indian and Epic/Sony, the band continued to write and evolve throughout a sometimes difficult 1990s. Recording and re-defining themselves through an ever changing and creatively vital music, No-Man released material via Materiali Sonori, Third Stone and internet label Burning Shed, gradually building up a loyal worldwide cult following that luxuriated in the band's increasingly ambitious sound.   Drawing from a diverse mix of Chamber Jazz, New Classical, Singer-songwriter, Progressive, Dream Pop, Trip Hop and Contemporary Electronica sources for inspiration, No-Man are one of the most intriguing British bands of the last two decades, creating an emotive and ethereal fusion of panoramic soundscapes, cracked ballads and sonic surprises.   Through the years, the band, consisting of North Westerner Tim Bowness and London-based Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), has worked with electro-pioneers Scanner, Muzlimgauze, The Shamen and Faultline, Jazz luminaries Ian Carr and Theo Travis, as well as collaborating with the legendary likes of King Crimson personnel, Robert Fripp, Pat Mastelotto and Mel Collins, and ex-Japan members, Jansen, Barbieri and Karn.

Coming two years after the critical and word of mouth cult success of 2001's 'Returning Jesus', 'Together We're Stranger' sees No-Man extending further the reach of its panoramic soundscapes and cracked ballads.  Boasting impressive performances from Ben Castle (clarinets), Roger Eno (harmonium), 'Lord' Peter Chilvers (bass) and Gramophone's David Picking (percussion, trumpet), amongst others, the 7 track, 47 minute album lays claim to being No-Man's most powerful and emotionally direct album in its 15 year history.

No-Man/Together We're Stranger ....CD + DVD-Audio $18.98

No-Man/Together We're Stranger ....CD + DVD-Audio $18.98

No-Man's fifth album 'Together We're Stranger' undoubtedly comprises the band's most ambitious and personal project in its history.  Originally released in 2003, 'Together We're Stranger' saw No-Man (the duo of Tim Bowness and Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson) further extending the reach of its panoramic soundscapes and cracked, mournful, ballads.  Boasting impressive performances from Ben Castle (clarinets), Roger Eno (harmonium) and Gramophone's David Picking (percussion, trumpet), amongst others, the album is a powerful and emotionally direct statement that has deservedly garnered cult acclaim and led to a growing fanbase and internet presence for the band.  This new 2 disc Snapper edition of the album comes with the original stereo mix on CD, a new booklet featuring sleeve notes from Mojo's Johnny Black, improved packaging and an audiophile 5.1 DVD-A surround sound disc, also including high resolution 24 bit stereo.   Additionally, the DVD-A disc includes the Break Up For Real (drum mix), (bluecoda), the video for Things I Want To Tell You and a photo gallery.

Ozric Tentacles/Sunrise Festival ....import CD + DVD $18.95

Ozric Tentacles/Sunrise Festival ....import CD + DVD $18.95

It's fitting the Ozric Tentacles formed at a festival, as the band have been a mainstay on the festival circuit ever since. A conversation about hypothetical cereal brands at the Stonehenge Festival in 1984 led to the creation of the legendary space-rock troopers. Before long, the Ozrics were festival favourites. The emergence of acid house in the late eighties and early nineties and the ethos of the rave scene merged perfectly with the Ozrics unique brand of psychedelic space-rock, taking the band to a new level. To date the band have sold over 1 million albums and remain firm fixtures on the festival scene around the globe with recent appearances in the US, Canada, Greece, UK, Chile and many more. Sunrise Festival captures the magic of one of Ozric Tentacles festival performances on a CD and DVD package in rigid digi-book packaging. Recorded in 2007 at the Sunrise Celebration Festival in Somerset, the set features classic tracks taken from throughout the band's career.

Quoit/Plug 8 Thrust Coil

The legendary Mick Harris (Lull/Napalm Death/Bill Laswell) makes his Burning Shed debut with a typically uncompromising take on drum'n'bass.  Dating from the late 1990's and similar in emotional character to his work with Scorn, Quoit brings fresh perspectives to familiar forms and is another milestone in a distinguished career.

Rhinoceros/Tea Chest ....import CD-R $18.99

Rhinoceros/Tea Chest

Also a member of Birmingham based Trip-Hop sensations, Gramophone, Rhinoceros represents the debut solo release from multi-instrumentalist David Picking.

Rothko/No Chart No Anchor No Rudder No Sails

Comprising entirely exclusive material drawn from several sources, 'no chart no anchor no rudder no sails' makes for a surprisingly coherent and complete listening experience.  Mainly exploring a gentle and impressionistic Durutti, Cocteaus, Budd and Weber territory, this unique combination of haunting textures and loop improvs might just be one of the highly regarded Rothko's finer moments.

Terry Stamp/Bootlace Johnnie and the Ninety-Nines ....import CD $18.99

Terry Stamp/Bootlace Johnnie and the Ninety-Nines

Intense, poetic, earthy and emotive, the astonishing 'Bootlace Johnnie and the Ninety-Nines' features the first new recordings for nearly 30 years of songs by Terry Stamp and Jim Avery, the songwriters at the heart of uncompromisingly political 1970s cult band Third World War (TWW).  Sensitively guided by the inventive production and playing of Alistair Murphy, 'Bootlace Johnnie' is a potent reminder of Terry Stamp's highly individual voice and lyrical style. Occasionally recalling the likes of Tom Waits, Kevin Coyne and Van Morrison, the album's songs carve a totally distinctive path of their own.

Theo Travis/Double Talk ....import CD $25.99

Theo Travis/Double Talk ....import CD $25.99

'Double Talk' is the eighth solo release by renowned British saxophonist, flautist, composer and improviser, Theo Travis.  Featuring a dynamic new band and special guest Robert Fripp, the music is a highly contemporary evocation of the experimental Progressive, Jazz and Psychedelic music Travis was influenced by in his formative years.   The CD features Travis on tenor and soprano saxes, wah-wah sax, flute, alto flute and clarinets.  Over the album's eight tracks, Travis demonstrates his broad ranging interests and styles. Legendary King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp appears on three tracks (co-writing one), while at the centre of the band sound is the soulful hammond organ of Pete Whittaker (The Wonderstuff/Jim Mullen). The guitar role is taken the latest UK scene wunderkind, Mike Outram (Herbie Mann/ Martin Taylor/Stan Sulzman/Grooveyard). Travis's new band is completed by the subtle drumming and percussion of Roy Dodds (Christine Tobin/Eddie Reader/Kirsty McCall), a masterfully sensitive performer.  The music is influenced by Theo's former collaborators Palle Mikkelborg, Soft Machine Legacy and Gong, as well as by late 1960s British psychedelia, the Blue Note label and the Progressive and Jazz influences that were crucial to Theo's development as a player and composer.  Incorporating multi-layers of flutes and saxes improvised live using Travis's unique system of ambitronics, on tracks like the epic Oblivionville and The Endless Search, Theo's layered flutes and clarinets blend perfectly with the guitar soundscapes of Robert Fripp.  The album also features a unique Travis take on the Pink Floyd classic, See Emily Play.

Theo Travis/Earth to Ether ....import CD $23.99

Theo Travis/Earth to Ether

Earth to Ether is the new studio album by British saxophonist / flautist / composer Theo Travis. It is his sixth album for 33 Records and features his regular touring band including pianist Simon Colam, bassist Andy Hamill, and drummer Marc Parnell.   Special guest on the CD is Canterbury singer and guitarist Richard Sinclair (Caravan, Hatfield & the North, Camel), one of the true talents of the English progressive/ Canterbury music scene. The album was mixed by Steven Wilson at No Man's Land.  The album features Theo's flute playing more than on any other of Theo's albums and for the first time on one of Theo's albums there are some vocal tracks. Acclaimed author of "The Rotters Club" and "What a Carve Up" Jonathan Coe has written lyrics for the songs. The album was recorded in London, and mixed by Steven Wilson at No Man's Land. Influenced by 1970's jazz flute, cool jazz, Brazilian songs, Canterbury music, progressive folk, King Crimson (check out their totally jazzy cover of 21st Century Schizoid Man!), Hubert Laws and a love of melody and lush atmospheres, the album has been very positively received by those who have heard it so far.

Theo Travis/Heart of the Sun ....import CD $23.99

Theo Travis/Heart of the Sun

Progressive fans will recognize Theo Travis from his work with Gong, Jade Warrior, Jansen Barbier & Karn, Steve Wilson, No-Man, Cipher, Mark Hewkins, John Marshall & Mark Wood and many more as well as being a prime mover in the British jazz scene.  Heart of the Sun includes seven Travis originals which feature his strong melodies, varied compositional colours and imaginative arrangements. The music is atmospheric, contemporary, progressive and texturally rich. Travis's pieces vary in style from the McCoy Tyner-flavoured 5/4 swing of All I Know to the passion of Barking Dogs and Caravans. Several of the tracks are very spacious, such as the atmospheric arrangement of Here's That Rainy Day, the stately Northern Lights and the haunting Last Flight From Twinwood. The album finishes with a 16:41 minute epic called Bass Rock, inspired by the remote and uninhabited island of the same name.  Co-produced by Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree, No-Man, Bass Communion, IEM, etc.), the album also features guitarist Daevid Allen of Gong and Danish trumpeter Palle Mikkelborg - known for his landmark collaboration with Miles Davis Aura as well as work with Dexter Gordon (including the Round Midnight film), George Russell, Bill Evans and his ECM recordings with Jan Garbarek and Terje Rypdal. As Palle Mikkelborg rarely agrees to contribute to or collaborate on other projects, his participation in this project is a strong endorsement of Travis' increasingly personal style and his identifiable musical vision.

Re-Release of the 2005 debut album of TUNER, the eclectic duo of Markus Reuter (Centrozoon) and Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson).

Um/Peter Gregory at Home with His Bad Self ....import CD-R $18.99

Um/Peter Gregory at Home with His Bad Self

Part Bowie, part Baby Bird, part 23rd Century court jester on a George Formby tip, Um's 'Pete Gregory Alone With His Bad Self' is a supremely eclectic and inspired collection of random thoughts, fully formed songs and demented electronic instrumentals.  Be afraid, the future of DIY singer-songwriter electronica is among us.

Uriel/Arzachel Collectors Edition ....import CD $29.99

Uriel/Arzachel Collectors Edition ....import CD $29.99

Formed in 1967 at the height of the UK psychedelic scene, Uriel consisted of Steve Hillage (guitar/vocals), Dave Stewart (organ), Mont Campbell (bass/vocals) and Clive Brooks (drums). When Hillage left the band Uriel continued as an organ trio, later changing their name to Egg.  Arzachel Collectors Edition is a re-mastered version of the legendary 1969 psychedelic album recorded under a pseudonym by Uriel, featuring the amazing 17-year old Steve Hillage on guitar throughout. The CD also contains four unreleased, ultra-rare Uriel studio demos, a spoken-word message from the past and a live snippet recorded in 1968. Steve Hillage plays on two of these bonus tracks.  61 minutes of mind-expanding music and the occasional freak-out in a full-colour Digipak with its own 20-page booklet. As in The Metronomical Society, the story of Uriel (told in the band's own words) is illustrated by a unique set of photos taken in the late '60s.

UXB/Urban Mutant ....import CD-R $18.99

UXB/Urban Mutant

Arguably, Pete Morgan's Trance project UXB was Orbital's more talented little brother. Collected here for the first time is the best of the band's early 90's work. Part Ambient Symphony and part breakbeat science, UXB's muse rarely lost sight of the melody.

UXB/White House Black Ash ....import CD-R $18.99

UXB/White House Black Ash

White House, Black Ash marks the 21st Century return of Pete Morgan's UXB project.   Adopting a more ethereal, stripped-down and atmospheric approach, White House, Black Ash effectively blends elements of Ambient and Chill-Out instrumental stylings with tight and hypnotic song-like structures.  Pitched somewhere between the more evocative aspects of Moby and the brooding textures of Eno, this high quality CD-R comes with deluxe Carl Glover full-colour artwork. White House, Black Ash represents an inspired continuation of UXB's trademark melodic melancholia.  Ideal late-night listening.

John Wesley/Shiver ....import CD $24.99

John Wesley/Shiver

Variously described as 'lyrically sensitive and musically dynamic' and as being 'the final flesh on the acoustic bones of his previous releases,' Shiver, John Wesley's fifth studio album, amply demonstrates how John's work has matured over the course of the last decade.  Mixed by Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson, Shiver's guitar-driven acoustic and electric songs draw from a diversity of inspirations including alternative, progressive, classic rock and folk styles. Perhaps the finest and most well-rounded release so far in John's impressive career.
