Live '418
PS, US A loud,heavy guitar group from Tokyo who were birthed from
one oviduct marked "Velvet Underground" & a massive
salpinx marked "Gaseneta."Their brand of controlled panic
is sure to spike the tongues of all those who purport to talk about
the rock. It is primal, punk, eerie,harsh, & utterly essential.

Navigating the Bronze
PS, US Their heaviest & most dynamic release to date. In addition
to a refreshed guitar sound, Weisnewski's token throat-shredding has
evolved into a deeper, more ferocious bellow, lending a primal quality
to the vocals as well as fueling the inferno w/ new melodies. This
has its cache of surprises for old fans, incl. a classical tribute
to Bach. At once their most varied & sonically mature record thus
far, it's certain to take the band to the next level.

out of several months of recording and traveling throughout Latin
America, Viceroy is based on the trials and pleasures of otherness
and the search for self in a foreign land. Latin-folk-influenced soundscapes

quenas, and nightstands.

virtuosity on a wide range of African, middle eastern and Asian percussion
instruments. Ambience comes from the field recordings and found sounds,
and everything's subtly processed to create a rich, exotic soundtrack
that recalls old school masters like Zakir Hussain as well as the
'fourth world' music of Sun City Girls, Muslimgauze or Jon Hassell.

Belott, Brian
Wipe That Clock Off Your Face
PS, US Brian Belott's first book is a compendium of all his disparate
artistic practices-including collage, drawing, found photography and
sound mixing-and it is also his first CD. The original CD/DVD included
here offers the acclaimed Found Images, a digital slideshow of over
2000 photos with an exclusive full-length soundtrack of original sound
collages. Assemblage permeates Belott's methods; he is a master of
using cast-off and neglected ephemera to create new and surprising
effects. The New York Times critic Holland Cotter calls the results
"imaginatively inviting," and the Times' Roberta Smith calls
them "radiant." The well-known painter Donald Baechler's
foreword speaks to Belott's place in the realm of creation from found
materials. Belott's world is like a trip through a funhouse of vernacular
art: enter at your own risk.

surreal songs are best compared to other genre bending artists such
as Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine & Bright Eyes. Voted one of

Chico Hamilton Quintet & Fred Katz
Classical Katz
PS, UK Chico Hamilton Quintet & Fred Katz : Classical Katz along
with the Modern Jazz Quartet, the Chico Hamilton Quintet with Fred
Katz were the leading practitioners of chamber jazz, devoted to a
mid-century blend of classical and jazz music that called itself third
stream; it was the shape of things to come for progressive jazz. Eric
Dolphy and Gabor Szabo were amongst the figures who would eventually
work with Hamilton. Our set couples the entire, highly regarded album
"Zen" by cellist Fred Katz where he is backed by Hamilton
and the Quintet along with the highlights of the Quintet's own 1956
set. Both albums are highly sought after and long out of print. This
Hamilton-Katz line-up would feature famously the following year (1957)
in the Burt Lancaster- Tony Curtis film "The Sweet Smell Of Success";
a great cinematic moment in jazz. Lord Randall Suite For Horn / Allegro

Clare & the Reasons
Movie
PS, US PREFIX MAG: "Between the new Edith Piaf biopic La Vie
en rose and the five hundred other current movies inexplicably relating
Paris) to romance, you'd think the world would have no need for another
bohemian fix. Yet, the members of Clare & the Reasons plead for
room with such earnestness on their debut that we must pause to take
listen. Led by a chick with chirping charm (and as the daughter of
folk/blues musician Geoff Muldaur, a distinguished musical lineage)
and filled out by a posse of Brooklyn's finest, the group tiptoes
lightly upon emotions and all that gushy stuff. On its sophisticated
takes on the neo-baroque and quasi-noir, the group is joined here
by such distinguished songwriting talent as Van Dyke Parks and Sufjan
Stevens." (Dan Nishimoto)

PS, US Imagine if you will a marriage of the Beastie Boys circa Some

you're in the right ballpark. They're newcomers to Atlanta's vibrant
punk, pop & experimental music scene, but the group has risen
quickly through the ranks to become one of the city's most talked
about acts. These women are real deal feminists, armed w/ a brash
& irreverent sense of humor. They're more likely to be caught
cracking jokes w/ Andrew W.K. than sharing tea & vegan cookies
with Kathleen Hannaha's crew!

Electro Group
Good Technology
PS, US Comprised of "three like minded and cautiously optimistic
gentlemen out to create and build songs culled from years of self-induced
isolationism, sexual regret, and audio experimentation", Electro
Group teamed up with local Sacramento imprint Omnibus Records (The
Shins, Mates of State, Flake Music) to issue their 2001 debut, A New
Pacifica. Its tracks surfaced on more than a few taste making college
and community radio stations, and even made it to the play list of
legendary BBC DJ John Peel. A slew of compilation appearances and
side projects followed: Electro Group recorded a series of split 7-
inches, teamed up with Pavement cofounder Gary Young for a cover of
Sonic Youth's "100%," and bassist Ian Hernandez formed Holy
Smokes with Pinback's Rob Crow and Hella's Zach Hill. Live appearances
with Sleater-Kinney, Quasi and The Swords Project followed, as did
a tour of the UK, and their next studio venture, the 2004 seven-track
mini-album Ummo. With their second proper full-length, Good Technology,
Electro Group had to destroy their conceptions of not only music,
but also modern life in general, and reconstruct them from square
one. While A New Pacifica explored a utopian society in the aftermath
of California falling into the sea and Ummo queried, "Are we
alone in the universe?" Good Technology finds Electro Group in
a deconstructionist mindset. As Hernandez reveals, "Good Technology
exhibits the natural songwriting and recording progression exhibited
in our previous self recorded endeavors. Since those releases, a better
understanding of multi-track recording and those techniques associated
with the capture of and replication of those sounds on audio disk,
helped provide a stronger foundation for the new record while still
retaining those familiar audio properties." It's a rapidly changing
world we live in, and the futuristic, guitar-driven fuzz-pop of Good
Technology provides an ideal soundtrack for it. What more lies ahead?
As guitarist/vocalist Tim Jacobson summarizes, "Great quality."
Not to mention good technology.

As We Speak are in possession of two qualities which set them apart
from you average guitar-pop band: firstly, a total lack of pretense
which gives them a decidedly casual, almost offhand stage presense
(rarely do they ever dress up, let alone pose) and secondly, the striking

generations of contemporary composers. Right from the start, the idea
had been to release 3 very different CDs: one horspiel, one of concrete
music & one CD of instrumental works. Also documents the composition
of a new version of "Tautologos," his last recorded piece,
w/ woven piano & viola breaking down, starting anew in an opposite
direction w/ bandoneon, DX7 & books being closed every 2 &

Giantess
S-T
PS, US Formerly known as Canada's "The Battles". Giantess
is a blistering exercise in profundity, veering wildly from accelerated
rave-ups to introspective ballads that tug at the heart (often with
tongue planted firmly in cheek). Giantess delivers with the poetic
grandeur of Bryan Ferry or Graeme Downs at their absolute peak, and
with the muscle & pathos of The Soft Boys or Jesus of Cool-era
Nick Lowe. Giantess is first & foremost a relationship record
that relies on sentiments both ridiculously absurd & vastly astute.
A British influence looms large in Stephen Wood's brilliant songwriting-
comparisons to Ray Davies & John Lennon are commonplace -in much
the same way those pillars informed Robert Pollard's forays into songs.
Likewise, Giantess' erstwhile approach thrusts the genre forward with
liberal swaths of heart, wit, warmth, melody & raw power.

Golden Animals EP
PS, US Brooklyn's Golden Animals deliver a meticulous recreation of

steeped in hipster consciousness and the counter-culture was embracing
country music with a vengeance. From the warm, natural recording quality
right down to the sepia-toned cover art dressed as (stoned) old west
dandies, these guys are living the life! They are entering the studio
in San Francisco with producer extraordinaire Chris Coady (Blonde
Redhead, Yeah Yeah Yeah¹s, T.V. On The Radio) in late October
to make a record for Happy Parts Recordings.

hooks & crunch into a bright, art-conscious swirl as catchy as
it is cool. The band has torn a jagged rift through the clubs of Canada,
jumping off amps & pushing PA's to their limit from Toronto to
Vancouver. Hooky enough for the pop fiends, hard enough for the dope
fiends.

Hawkwind
Space Ritual [collector's edition]
PS, US PITCHFORK: "Aside from Sun Ra, few artists captured that
sense of mind-warping, my-God-it's-full-of-stars astronomical mysticism
in their music like Hawkwind. With their tendency towards extended
jams full of disorienting electronic drones and drummer Simon King's
motorik rhythms, they had a certain creative kinship with their Krautrock
contemporaries. But their racket could also be as unrelentingly punchy
and violent as anything from the Stooges' Fun House, especially considering
guitarist Dave Brock's Ron Asheton-esque affinity for blistering,
wah-wah-drenched riffs and Nik Turner's freeform sax outbursts...
It was all put to good use by their lyrics and their philosophy, much
of which was inspired by the writing of sci-fi author and sometime
collaborator Michael Moorcock, and typically themed around interstellar
travel, metaphysics and Pythagoras' theory of celestial-mathematical
"music of the spheres." ...The set has been expanded from
its original "88 minutes of brain damage" (as a 1973 print
ad hilariously put it) to just over two hours, with most of the added
material devoted to a few alternate takes and the restoration of a
few minutes here and there that had to be cut for the original United
Artists double LP. (A bonus DVD includes the whole shebang in Dolby,
and despite it being in PAL format, North American viewers should
be able to hear it on their PCs or DVD players.)"

Liars

PS, US What do you expect from Liars? Noise? Concept? Both? This LP
delivers neither! Recorded on the heels of 2006's 'Drum's Not Dead'
somewhere between LA and Berlin, Liars' 4th album marks another bold
transition for Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross. For
the new album Liars have foregone theory for a more practical approach,
one based on traditional song structures and instrument usage. Even
mainman Angus is shocked! They've foregone theory for a more practical
approach,one based on traditional song structures &instrument
usage.An album that manages to balance the old, experimentally minded
Liars w/ an excitingly insidious new pop edge.

Lionheart, Ferraby
Catch the Brass Ring (ON SALE)
PS, US VENUS MAGAZINE: "There is a boy called Ferraby Lionheart
who lives in Los Angeles and plays songs that sound like early Rufus
Wainwright. The 19-year-old grew up in Nashville, where people had
a hard time pronouncing his name... [Later on,] in Los Angeles, Lionheart
toiled away in a rock band called Telecast, but soon, he became uninspired,
so he recorded some of the stripped-down, folk-inspired songs that
he'd been writing by himself... An album of airy and pretty songs
that perfectly soundtrack a day of playing in parks and on swings."
And the rest, as they say, is history.

Magic Carpathians Project
Sonic Suicide #1
PS, POLAND MAGIC CARPATHIANS PROJECT's new release, Sonic Suicide,
is as surprising and as challenging as every one of their previous
albums. The figure of suicide designates the moment of closure and
transformation, not far from orgasmic density and bodily pleasures
of sounds on the album. The music here creates intense, vibrating,
rhizomatic field of electric pulsations, drones and irregularities.
This time Magic Carpathians Project's line up has been scaled down
to just two of core members who have been establishing the name since
1998: ANNA NACHER (mistreated electric guitars, voice, lyrics, media
manipulation and bastardization, loops, field recordings) and MAREK
STYCZYNSKI (homemade analog sound modulator, field recordings, saxophone,
clarinet, flutes, gongs, percussions). A prototype version of analog
sound modulator--called badoog--which emits soundwaves of sinusoidal
amplitude and frequencies reaching out beyond the standard range audible
to human ear has been designed and built especially for this session.
Anna Nacher sings, screams and soars both in English and Polish, occasionally
inhabiting the space between languages or mixing up the dialects,
idioms and pronunciations. Field recordings taken by the duo during
their travels across Himalaya, Carpathians and Balkans are employed
as signs of hybridic soundscape of cultural nomads, far from overproduced
and colonized idioms of 'world music'. Only for the bravest of the
bravest!

Manual
Lost Days, Open Skies and Streaming Tides
PS, US The long awaited Manual double-CD 'Lost Days, Open Skies and
Streaming Tides' - a collection of rarities, remixes, covers, unreleased
pieces and brand new tracks - including a new collaboration with Cocteau
Twins mainman Robin Guthrie. Spanning the period from 2002, around
Ascend, up to now, this is a collection that covers the entire spectrum
of Jonas Munks stylings; from the minimalist drone soundscapes, to
the over-the-top 1980s influenced shoegazing electronica à
la his masterpiece Azure Vista, from the sweet pop-influenced gems
to abstract blissed-out timeless ambient. Munk's trademarks are all
over the 19 pieces on this double disc set: the highly adventurous
sense of composition that is still so unheard of in electronic music
- always taking the listener on a colourful journey instead of relying
on repetitions like pretty much every other electronic artist -, the
mix of well-programmed beats and electronics against surreal, shimmering,
heavily treated guitars, and the sunbathed 1980s romantic melancholia
that has become Jonas Munk's signature sound. It is hard to think
of a more perfect introduction to Munk's music, and for fans of his
work this is simply a must!

plus 5 additional tracks by The Action. ALL MUSIC GUIDE: "This
hour-long CD is one of the best bodies of British psychedelia ever
released. It contains the complete Mighty Baby album from Head Records,
expanded to 13 tracks with the addition of five tracks cut by the
Action during its 1967 transition period... The beauty of the original
Mighty Baby album tracks is that they're psychedelia with a solid
beat, none of that noodle-rock that drugged-up Brits usually engaged
in...some of the most energetic psychedelia to come out of England,
and anyone who enjoys psychedelic guitar will love Martin Stone's
and Alan King's work on this album. A near perfect meld of garage
rock and psychedelic sensibilities." (Bruce Eder)

Monster Movie
Last Night Something Happened
PS, US The debut album from Monster Movie - long out of print - has
been rebirthed. Artwork has been revamped, a new catalog number has
been assigned, and the bonus track from the long-OOP vinyl version
of the album, previously unavailable on CD in the US, has been added.
Written, performed & produced by Christian Savill & Sean Hewson,
Last Night Something Happened was a landmark follow-up to their self-titled
debut EP from early 2001. The album, recorded between March and August
2001 at The White House studio in Weston-Super-Mare with Martin Nichols
engineering (also the birthplace of their debut EP as well as Slowdive's
'Souvlaki'), shows a move away from the layered guitars and strong
vocals of the EP to a more somber, subdued & warm sound. Here
the vocals are more often layered with Martin Wheeler & Louise
Hewson, adding their vocals to those of the band, to create a ghostly,
disembodied effect. The instrumentation is more varied here as well,
with cheap keyboards and acoustic guitars mixing with radios, feedback
& broken effects pedals to create a warm hum. As with the debut
EP, the songwriting is still a strong point but Monster Movie have
moved forwards, investigating instrumental songs (witness the cinematic
'Star City') and structure (a la the Faust-like sudden change in 'Winter
Is Coming'). Everything on here has a great tune even when it is layers
of noise, but the most obvious pop songs are 'Waiting', 'Shortwave',
'Take Me Away', '4th & Pine' & 'Home' with 'Sleeping On A
Train' providing a change of pace & some rock action. Last Night
Something Happened was a phenomenal precursor to the subsequent years
of Monster Movie magic - and as such, remains their best work to date.
Monster Movie were known to be collectively fond of Grandaddy, Air,
Yo La Tengo & the Super Furry Animals during the recording of
this album. They were also more likely to be influenced by their intense
and occasionally psychotic dislike of most other rock music. Their
individual tastes are not considered 'sexy' enough to be listed.

New Young Pony Club
Fantastic Playroom
PS, US It's a singular chemistry between front woman Tahita Bulmer
and Andy Spence that's marked New Young Pony Club as one of 2007's
most talked-about, must-hear, must-see bands. NYPC singles "Ice
Cream" (used in a recent Intel commercial campaign) and "The
Bomb" have already proved irresistible. And they have made good
on Tahita and Andy's hopes: to put the fun back in music, and get
people dancing. Now NYPC have done more than perhaps would be reasonably
expected of a great singles band: they've made a great album, Fantastic
Playroom. It's everything you hope every album is going to be. Packed
with tunes, yes - but literate, funny, sad, just-weird-enough, crazy,
sexy and cool to boot. (Sometimes, dancebased music forgets it's allowed
to be all these things.) From an undeniable "Get Lucky"/"Hiding
On The Staircase"/"Ice Cream"/"The Bomb"
opening salvo to the potential-future-NYPC-direction and quite Grace
Jones-y "FAN" via the overtly pop "Grey", it gets
everything right.

Newell, Martin
A Summer Tamarind

his first solo album for several years. Many people try for an authentic
60s sound, Newell actually lives it. This sunny-days mixture wears
its Beatles / Kinks influences like a double-breasted paisley jacket
is also surprisingly modern though. Contained herein are eleven bomb-proof
three and a half-minute pop songs dressed with chiming Rickenbacker
12-string guitars, great garden-shed drumming and the type of gorgeous
harmonies that no-one else bothers doing anymore. A Summer Tamarind
is nothing less than a post-punk Rubber Soul and probably the best
thing that Martin Newell has done since his Andy Partridge-produced
Greatest Living Englishman album.

No Age
Weirdo Rippers
PS, US PITCHFORK: "A loud duo with art credibility, a massive
touring schedule, and a one-man label in its ranks brings Lightning
Bolt to mind; but No Age have a softer surf-psychedelic side that
conjures another twosome: old Olympia favorites Kicking Giant. Or,
as another Pitchfork staffer pointed out, the best K Records fuzz-rock
band of all time, Lync. No Age, though, goes into an even airier,
bedroom-pretty realm, with a punk rawness to their delivery. Their
oft-chanted hooks (see "Boy Void" or "Every Artist
Needs A Tragedy") are out-of-phase, the approach sloppy and spastic.
At the same time, these songs come off soporific, restful, and totally
in control. Nothing grates. It all feels soft and up-close."

Victorious (ON SALE)
PS, US New album of soft-pop melancholies and majesties from excellent
Swedish mopes. ALL MUSIC GUIDE: "With their third album Victorious,
The Perishers should finally put an end to the hackneyed references
to their Swedish homeland, and the cliched use of such modifiers as
"icy," "glacial," "glassy," et al. For
this set is imbued with such warmth, its sound so glowing, that reviewers
will have no choice but to look elsewhere for their adjectives. The
Perishers can thank Per Sunding for that, his production bathing their
music in luminescent, highlighting their fragile, exquisite atmospheres,
and throwing into relief their sublime instrumental interplay... Victorious'
true glory is found in the richness of the sound, the iridescent melodies,
shimmering atmospheres, and Ola Kluft's introspective, yet universal
lyrics. With Victorious, The Perishers truly conquer all." (Jo-Ann

an instant pop classic. The soft acoustics and sweet melodies of the
AA-side "Be Around" show you The Tamborines aren't just
about noisy guitars. The psychedelic garage pop atmospheres of "Come
Together" drift throughout - capping it off with a hip mid 60's
guitar break. The EP was self produced and recorded in Oxford, England
with Mark Gardener (Ride), Frank "Teardrop" Emerson (The
Brian Jonestown Massacre), and mastered at RPM studios, London.

Teardrops
PS, US Arguably much cleaner & more structured than their 2001
debut, these songs find the band focusing on seamless melodic interplay,
capturing the dynamic of their kinetic live show & opening up
the range of influence to include nods towards the girl groups of
Motown & the proto-metal of Iron Butterfly. linked w/ the timeless
pop of the Everly Brothers, the Zombies & Del Shannon

Nowe:Le
PS, POLAND A electronic compilation from Poland's Vivo label, Nowe:le
has tagged itself as being psychedelically ambient, coldly computerized,
ethnical experimentronic, and heat addled by a passage through the
Texan desert. "Nowele" is Polish for "short stories"
and the seven artists represented here (hailing from Japan, Poland,
and the United States) offer eleven sonic shorts, which are meant
to unfold behind your eyes. Nowe:le starts off with a bubbling glitch
track from Maciek Szymczuk. "Uruk" simmers with electrical
signals, some popping and crackling like exploding molecules, while
other currents string themselves together into swirling, darting melodies.
"Uruk" is a petri dish dance party seen through an electron
microscope.

Bring on the Comets
PS, US Louisville's VHS OR BETA makes its boldest move yet with the
release of their third full-length album, Bring On The Comets. Bring
On The Comets provides heartfelt anthems with a newfound discovery
of musical freedom, a shedding of previous expectation and boundary,
and an undeniable return to pop music. The first single, "Can't
Believe A Single Word," is a storming piano-driven mini-epic,
with Pfunder's soaring, dramatic vocals swelling to a fist-pumping
chorus. The title track, is a grand, slide-guitar infused larger-than-life
adventure."Fall Down Lightly," vitally captures every element
of VHS OR BETA's revamped new sound: here, discordant punk-funk mutates
into a classic filter-disco groove, giving way to a startlingly catchy
chorus describing a relationship's tumble into l'amour fou. VHS OR
BETA-today a trio comprising core members vocalist/guitarist Craig
Pfunder, bassist Mark Palgy and drummer Mark Guidry- recorded Bring
On The Comets with up-and-coming producer Brendan Mason (Secret Machines,
David Bowie) in Asheville, NC and Nashville, TN.

PS, US After years of outer space exploration in YUME BITSU &
SURFACE OF ECEYON, as well as stints as a hired gun for a multitude
of artists incl. Dirty Projectors, Jackie-O Motherfucker & Devendra
Banhart, he decided to turn his focus inward & began to record
solo material. At a somewhat brief 71 min., this pulses & flows
w /mantric chants,clattering percussions, sighing sustains & guitar
leads unashamed of their scorching transcendence. He breathes new
life into archaic sub-genres such as progrock, new age,& hippie
folk incantations, while never stooping to the negative aspects of
any of them, & remaining a step ahead of the technologically crippled
& virtuosuo-less looper pedal scene.

Zenial
Reworked
PS, POLAND The very fact that Polish digi-sound explorer Lukasz Szalankiewicz's
debut release (beyond the few compilation appearances so far garnered)
amounts to a collection of reworkings of his material by artists whom
he either respects or shares his mission with appears to make far
more sense than going it alone to try and stake out his position.
As such, collaborative pieces with Kasper T. Toeplitz, Andrew Duke
and others run alongside remixes by Kazuyuki K. Null, Vidna Obmana,
Andrew Lagowski, Amir Baghiri, Tetsuo Furudate, Zbigniew Karkowski
and Zenial himself. Most of these, in turn, subscribe to the notion
of exorcising new glacial shapes from the material sourced, but it's
actually during the more rhythmic settings of Vidna Obmana's "Palsecam
Theme (Recycled)' and Amir Baghiri's 'Ilustracja#1/E-nimalic' that
things take on a more muscular life of their own.

Years was recorded by Charles Newman at Mother West Studio, NYC. On
Matchless Years Aarktica embraces the spirit of the best works of

as well as a progression toward "dark disco" and a meshing
of 1950's vocal pop sensibilities atop Aarktica's established atmospheric

comfortable. Matchless Years is by far Aarktica's strongest and most
accessible work to date and is sure to gain them new fans. Personell:

gamelan bells. Aaron Spectre (Drumcorps) - drum programs, Chris Carrico

Acid Mothers Guru Guru
Psychedelic Navigator (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE SEPTEMBER 18TH)
PS, US AcidMothersGuruGuru features Mani Neumeier from the legendary
and influential German Krautrock group Guru Guru as well as Kawabata
Makoto and Atsushi Tsuyama from Japan's holy Acid Mothers Temple.
The result is a fiery fantasy filled, loud/soft, colorful trans-generational
psychedelic collaboration. The Acid Mothers Guru Guru started in a
spontaneous session in March of 2006 in Nagoya, Japan. When the improvisation
commenced the passionate excitement was clear to all in the room and
it was then that this special psychedelic trio began. A Japanese tour
was planned, an album was recorded and this recording is the fruit
of this mutual musical admiration. While all involved will admit that
this is a dream of collaborations it was the Acid Mothers Temple guys
who were worshipping Guru Guru in their teens. The Acid Mothers Guru
Guru is two generations of psychedelic rock joining forces for the
21st century.

Allen, Daevid
Good Morning! (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE SEPTEMBER 11TH)
PS, UK In 1975, following his departure from GONG, the highly influential
group he had founded, Daevid Allen sought musical solace in the village
of Deja on the island of Mallorca. Here he encountered a group of
Catalan musicians, Euterpe, with whom Allen began collaborating. Recorded
in Mallorca, the album "GOOD MORNING" was released by Virgin
Records in 1976 to great acclaim, being a unique work that was regarded
by fans and critics as being equally as good as anything he recorded
with GONG, if not better. Filled with Allen's startling original musical
observations, "GOOD MORNING" appeared briefly on CD in the
early 1990's and vanished quickly. Long sought after by the legions
of GONG / DAEVID ALLEN followers, ESOTERIC RECORDINGS is proud to
announce the reissue of this album with fully restored artwork and
superb 24-bit digitally remastered sound. THE FIRST EVER OFFICIAL
CD RELEASE FOR THIS CLASSIC ALBUM IN SIXTEEN YEARS.

roam free: strings & mallet instruments; rock guitar & gravelly
sawtooth synths; stuttering digital percussion & muscular studio
drumming. What might be most striking about is the way it creates
a kind of single,sustained mood; this is an album for listening to
all in one go, front to back. This is one of those road-trip records,
one of those coming-down records, one of those bedding-down records.

more than magnetic tape, Ed's voice, and the stunningly modern arrangements
of his beloved Martin Tiple, "Little Eyes" is as grand,
sad, and beautiful a statement as can be expressed. His off-key lilt
hangs like a seductive pink mist, and settles deeply; you'll hear
these songs long after they're over. Attempting to publicize an unreleased
record, Ed did a string of radio gigs between NY and New Haven, and
the best of them are collected here. Lovely and wild.
