ROCK, POP AND PSYCHEDELIC
WARMER MILKS- SOFT WALKS CD (animal disguise, usa)
12.98usd/6.59gbp/8.39eur/1399jpy (approx)
*The second proper full-length in the expansive and elusive discography of Warmer Milks, Soft Walks is a unique blend of southern rock, improv and modern confusion. Features Michael Turner, Shawn David McMillen, Greg Backus and Travis Shelton (Cadaver In Drag), Paul Oldham (Bonnie Billy Band, Baby Dee Band, Speed To Roam) and Amber Kinglsey. Subject matter includes what grows, what dies, and where we fit in between. Michael Turner has been making music under the guise of Warmer Milks since 2003 and while he tries to bury the name year after year, queer circumstances always bring it back. The group has numerous tours in the States under their belt as well as one European trip to date. Warmer Milks plan on hitting the road this summer on the Midwest and East Coast in support of Soft Walks. We are very excited to welcome Warmer Milks into the ADR family. With this release being their first of 4 albums scheduled to be released in 2008, they will now truly emerge from the ghetto of the cassette/CD-R underworld and finally attract the attention they deserve.
CAT POWER- JUKEBOX DELUXE 2LP (matador, usa)
29.98usd/15.23gbp/19.37eur/3232jpy (approx)
*deluxe version of this album from earlier this year, housed in a really really nice silver-foil gatefold cover with bonus disc containing extra tracks. her second album of cover songs, this one a tribute to the great vocalists who have influenced her over the years.

17.98usd/9.13gbp/11.61eur/1938jpy (approx)
ENDLESS BOOGIE- FOCUS LEVEL CD (no quarter, usa)
13.98usd/7.10gbp/9.03eur/1507jpy (approx)
*listed this one too early a couple weeks back… welp, it’s out for ‘real’ now and it’s the best rock record of 2008. period. Endless Boogie began with no delusions of grandeur. They started off as an 'old man's hobby' -- just dudes jamming on riffs, locking into grooves, finding that transcendental part of a song and stretching it into eternity. Then they were offered a show. They played more shows. They self-released two very limited 12"s and were called the best-kept secret in New York by Paper magazine. They toured with Dungen and Circle and were invited by Slint to play All Tomorrows Parties. Now they've made the best rock record to come out of New York City in years (maybe decades). No, that's not an exaggeration. What more needs to be said? There aren't many bands with a more appropriately descriptive name. Rather than try and explain it, we'd prefer you just buy the album. It's 79 minutes long. It's the perfect soundtrack to the hot summer nights. Hanging out in the basement. Smoking figs in the yard. Vinyl version is a double LP presented in a deluxe old-style tip-on gatefold jacket and includes coupon for free MP3 download of album.
ROKY ERICKSON AND THE EXPLOSIVES- HALLOWEEN: RECORDED LIVE 1979-81 2LP (norton, usa)
22.98usd/11.67gbp/14.84eur/2477jpy (approx)
*This howling live set from Roky and The Explosives' original incarnation moves from horror classics ('Creature With The Atom Brain'), to Buddy Holly-inspired rockers ('Wait For You') to a blistering version of the Elevators' 'You're Gonna Miss Me.' Norton's gatefold double LP comes with a different cover than the CD version and on the preferred miracle PVC format! We gave you the warning -- now make sure you heeded it! 2LP gatefold set!
NOTHING PEOPLE- ANONYMOUS LP (s-s, usa)
15.98usd/8.12gbp/10.32eur/1723jpy (approx)
*Over the last couple of years, the Nothing People have released three stellar 7" records and during that time, they have built a 'fan club' that includes Anopheles Records' Karl Ikola, the guys at Victim of Time, Siltbreeze's Tom Lax, In the Red's Larry Hardy, the folks down at Your Flesh, Ryan Wells of Z Gun, and many more. And over the last couple years this 'fan club' has asked me 'when's the full length?' over and over again. Well, now they can shut the hell up, because the Nothing People's first album is here! And let me tell you this, while the Nothing Peeps have plenty of songs that yell out 'put me on a 45,' they have just as many that demand to be heard in long form. Want an example, check out 'Sickness.' It is the kind of song you want to hear on 12"s, and there are 8, 9, 10... hell, I lost count, but there are a bunch more. So, yeah, it is time for you to get a big dose of proto/glam/psych/punk/wave excellence. On clear vinyl. 600 pressed.
CAN- TAGO MAGO 2LP (united artists, usa)
19.98usd/10.15gbp/12.91eur/2154jpy (approx)
*shop favorite restocked… With the band in full artistic flower and Suzuki's sometimes moody, sometimes frenetic speak/sing/shrieking in full effect, Can released not merely one of the best Krautrock albums of all time, but one of the best albums ever, period. Tago Mago is that rarity of the early '70s, a double album without a wasted note, ranging from sweetly gentle float to full-on monster grooves. "Paperhouse" starts things brilliantly, beginning with a low-key chime and beat, before amping up into a rumbling roll in the midsection, then calming down again before one last blast. Both "Mushroom" and "Oh Yeah," the latter with Schmidt filling out the quicker pace with nicely spooky keyboards, continue the fine vibe. After that, though, come the huge highlights -- three long examples of Can at its absolute best. "Halleluwah" -- featuring the Liebezeit/Czukay rhythm section pounding out a monster trance/funk beat; Karoli's and Schmidt's always impressive fills and leads; and Suzuki's slow-building ranting above everything -- is 19 minutes of pure genius. The near-rhythmless flow of "Aumgn" is equally mind-blowing, with swaths of sound from all the members floating from speaker to speaker in an ever-evolving wash, leading up to a final jam. "Peking O" continues that same sort of feeling, but with a touch more focus, throwing in everything from Chinese-inspired melodies and jazzy piano breaks to cheap organ rhythm boxes and near babbling from Suzuki along the way. "Bring Me Coffee or Tea" wraps things up as a fine, fun little coda to a landmark record. -Ned Raggett, amg
AVANT GARDE AND NOISE
MAMMAL- LONESOME DRIFTER 2LP (animal disguise, usa)
22.98usd/11.67gbp/14.84eur/2477jpy (approx)
MAMMAL- LONESOME DRIFTER CD (animal disguise, usa)
12.98usd/6.59gbp/8.39eur/1399jpy (approx)
*shop favorite restocked on vinyl, cd in stock for the first time… 'This is both the end and the beginning,' says the back cover. And with each successive release, Mammal shows us what the end is, or at least that he's definitely thinking about it. This album takes his ideas from the past up to another level as it tells a story of drifting through life until 'the beginning had already become the end.' A more personal array of ideas are on display here (including clearly audible vocals) and make the entire package the most effective Mammal release yet. Recorded during 6 months of isolation at his home in Detroit, Mammal's 4th full-length is an epic soundtrack to the industrial depression of the city. Lonesome Drifter is guitar/bass heavy while still retaining the grating textures and hypnotic repetition one would expect from Mammal. However, those looking for the constant, heavy electronics found on past releases may be sorely disappointed. In short, this is brooding, psychedelic, loner blues, and a brand new chapter in the story of Mammal. Animal Disguise Recordings is proud to present Lonesome Drifter featuring cover art by Mammal himself.
RUSSELL HASWELL- SECOND LIVE SALVAGE 2LP (editions mego, austria)
31.98usd/16.25gbp/20.66eur/3448jpy (approx)

Hot on the heels of recent collaborative releases with Florian Hecker (as Haswell & Hecker) on Warner Classics, Warp Records and Editions Mego, Coventry, UK's Russell Haswell presents the second volume of his Live Salvage archive series. This series documents improvised real-time, computer-generated audio presentations given over the past 10 years in different types of venues, all with contrasting acoustics and audiences. Editions Mego is proud to announce this double vinyl LP set. As NME asserted of this series, "now you can experience the terror in your own home”.

*shop favorite in stock for the first time… In bluegrass, there's an oft-cited Holy Trinity: Stanley Brothers, Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs. For a truly despairing, spectral, high-lonesome sound, however, Ralph (keening tenor, banjo) and Carter (earthy baritone, guitar) Stanley stand alone. This, the first complete collection of the rare 78s featuring their earliest, formative recordings for the Rich-R-Tone label, presents the Stanleys at their rawest and most unadorned.

*Udi Hrant Kenkulian, the blind master of the Ud, the twelve-stringed, fretless lute is regarded as the grandfather of modern ud playing and one of the most unique singers of what some refer to as the Middle-Eastern Blues.

TANBURI CEMIL BEY- VOLUMES 2 & 3 2CD (traditional crossroads, usa)
24.98usd/12.69gbp/16.14eur/2693jpy (approx)
*Tanburi Cemil Bey is the most renowned composer of instrumental art music from the late Ottoman Empire. For over a century, his contributions to the suite forms known as pesrev and saz semai and breathtaking, elegiac improvisations (taksims) on tanbur and kemençe have remained the benchmark for modern Turkish composers and performers. From 1910 to 1914, before the invention of the electronic microphone, the Blumenthal Record and Talking Machine Company made acoustic recordings featuring Cemil Bey. These volumes in our Tanburi Cemil Bey series include extraordinary taksims, some of Cemil Bey's best compositions, and rare collaborations with great early 20th-century Turkish singers and instrumentalists. All have been digitally remastered using the state-of-the-art CEDAR system. Each features extensive notes, including a biography of tanburi cemil bey as well as numerous photographs.

PRINCE DOUGLAS- DUB ROOTS LP (wackie’s, germany)
17.98usd/9.13gbp/11.61eur/1938jpy (approx)
*shop favorite finally restocked… Engineer Douglas Levy was part of the original Wackies set up from 1974-75, alongside Lloyd Barnes and Jah Upton. For a while he would have his own label -- Hamma -- within the Bullwackies group; but besides Sugar Minott's International Herb, this 1980 dub album is his finest work. Wackies' fans have been clamouring for its reissue ever since Rhythm & Sound began making the catalogue available again. Many of the rhythms are derived from a tape given to the studio by Sly and Robbie, containing their versions of recent Joe Gibbs hits. And there are brilliant treatments of Tribesman Dub -- the rhythm for Tyrone Evans' Black Like Me -- and Wayne Jarrett's definitive interpretation of 'Every Tongue Shall Tell.' Elsewhere Jah Batta takes deejay duties -- likewise Prince Douglas himself. (And there are lovely skewed graphics by team regular Leslie Moore, self-styled 'LAM International'). But the deadliest cut of all reworks another gift, Steel Pulse's 'Handsworth Revolution,' which arrived in a parcel of records from England the same weekend as the session: 'March Down Babylon Dub,' with Bullwackie himself at the microphone in his Chosen Brothers guise, as steely and apocalyptic as Douglas Levy's fabulous production.

More 80’s electronic disco on the flip, 'MBO Theme' from Klein & MBO, not as well known as their big hit 'Dirty Talk', but just as fantastic!

An amazing combination of tough proto-house beats, sexy vocals and impeccable production. ''Pinch Roller'' is an obscure early Italo disco number from the late 70's.

*A limited re-press of the second part of the collaborative double-EP by Ricardo Villalobos and Jay Haze from 2004 (part 1 is Context 008); originally released 2005… Twisted flavors and electronic psychedelia. A welcome revisit of past work from two innovative producers whose music straddles the line between practical dancefloor tracks and artful compositions. Although their cosmic connection dates back years before, Ricardo Villalobos and Jay Haze first met in person in New York City in 1999. Wearing a TuningSpork Records T-shirt, Jay showed up to see Ricardo DJ one night, and Ricardo approached him to mention that he was a fan of the label. Jay responded that he was in fact the co-owner, and the two were buddies ever since. Establishing themselves in Berlin in the early part of the new millennium, they shared a studio space together, which naturally led to some musical collaboration. Not too long after their original release in the summer and autumn of 2004, the twin EPs have been out of print and hard to obtain, until now. Contexterrior brings you the reissue of both 12"s, featuring six co-productions highlighted by their consistent quality within a variety of sounds: tasty acid elements, deep soulful moments, and the trademark sub-bass and buzz guaranteed to put any club subwoofer to work.

V/A- BAIA DEGLI ANGELI 1977-1978: THE LEGENDARY ITALIAN DISCOTEQUE OF THE 70s CD (mediane, italy)
19.98usd/10.15gbp/12.91eur/2154jpy (approx)
*shop favorite restocked… The Baia Degli Angeli. It’s not exaggerate to say everything started there. The golden age of disco, clubbing, glamour: just everything. I’m not saying ‘discoteques’ were a novelty (although in Italy were still called nightclubs, or ‘balere’). There was the Piper, in 1965, which instilled a little bit of ‘swingin’ London inside the ancient walls of the ‘the eternal city’, Roma. There was the Altro Mondo Studios, built up as a kind of spaceship or galactic island, which in ‘67 was making believe young riminesi (not only them, anyways) that Future with capital ‘F’, the one of Urania and the first sci-fi tv series, was just a question of weeks, or a couple of months at the most. But from the start the Baia was another story. Another world, too. It started in1974, on the edge of the still big ’68 revolutionary excitement and also on the grandeur of his creator, Giancarlo Tirotti, a little local tycoon, well introduced in roman cinema’s jet-set and a taste and elegance definitely ‘international’ and - for those days - absolutely new. Let’s say it once for all: the New York’s Studio 54 hasn’t invented anything. Mixing ‘stars’ and normal people in a beautiful place, in a way that simply ‘being there’ was already an experience, it was a bright intuition of Tirotti three years in advance of Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager. At the Baia you could meet Hollywood’s movie stars transiting in Italy, and by the way - before the conversion into disco, it was a sporting-club for the rich - with those totally white walls, the indoor and outdoor pools, the terrace where one could get a breathtaking view of Gabicce, it looked just like a Californian resort. Music - another news - was loud, really loud, and there was no rule of ‘three slows & three shakes’, something still in vigour in all the other clubs. And it was open till 6 a.m., you could watch the dawn at the Baia... listening to the new Philly Sound, played by Bob Day and Tom Sison the two dj’s Tirotti brought from New York. Punctually, all the other djs from Rimini and Riccione would come at the Baia to listen what Bob & Tom were doing, and it was always a shock! Firstly for the records, which both of them were getting right from USA, and the tecnique, too... In those days, putting a piece of paper between the record and the turntable, in order to get a faster start and a better mixing, was just a revolutionary strike... The day Bob & Tom decided to go back to America, they themselves - like a Star Wars saga - had to designate a substitute for the Baia’s consolle. It is 1977, and the chosen one is a young local dj already well known to the nightflies of the italian East Coast: Daniele Baldelli. In the meantime discomusic was spreading everywhere in Italy. The Baia - like a Fiorucci’s dream come true - displays plexiglass dancefloors and a crazy dj-booth inside a lift that goes up and down all the night long... the people is dancing on the 4 floors, look around and feel like being in a very ‘transgressive’ tv show, like the famous Strix on sunday nights. Rivers of champagne and a lot of very suspicious little powders are flowing... Actors, intellectuals and starlets of the little screen are usual presence on the dance floors and sofas. Grace Jones is so often a guest to become practically part of the environment. How beautiful was the Baia! Always completely white. Not a minute wrong detail, nor a hint of bad taste to ruin the elegant skyline. Only light, bright light... A battery of lights effects on a mechanical arm was moving and spreading around very sexy showers of lights and shadows. The little neon-light angel, sort of good-luck symbol who became the Baia’s logo and occasionally some exploit a-la-Warhol (like the Marylin Monroe’s icon deliriously librated in the air with stripes & ballons). The ‘golden age’ of the Baia Degli Angeli lasted only two seasons. In ‘78, after repeated breaks by the Police is the definitive closing. Too much fuss, too much intimidations from the sleepy establishment of the adriatic riviera. Too many ‘joyous powders’, for the Authority. A press document of the time (just a laughing matter today) states that the Baia «with is mere existence is promoting drugs between young people». The little air-balloon who gave birth to the glittering dream of the Baia was finally blown up... and the legend begins. And, as always goes when legends are born (think about NewYork’s Loft or Paradise Garage, or Chicago’s Warehouse), everybody started saying «I’ve been there», when actually just very few people stepped at the Baia, and danced to the music of Baldelli and his associate, the ‘generous’ Claudio ‘Mozart’ Rispoli. Those were other days... days were one wasn’t trotting up and down Italy with the same easyness of today: but if the wheels of the 128’s and the 500’s would not reach everywhere, the ‘mixtapes’ with the recordings of those legendary nights would. The popping out of a ‘mixtape’ from the Baia Degli Angeli in a provincial italian city was an event able to change the course of History. A lot of dj’s (today superstars) , one name for all: Claudio Coccoluto, have seen the Light listening to the ‘mixtapes’ of Baldelli & Mozart, which were just doing incredible things back then, mixing Kraftwerk, War & Jean Luc Ponty, with the smooth and comfort of someone who understood that music is a big treasure box from where one can track down shining gems. The Baia is the place who gave birth to the italian ‘dj culture’, and where ‘garage’ was invented, three years in advance from the Paradise Garage and ‘ambient’ ten years before ambient, mixing styles and genres with the absolutely open ‘attitude’ that Baldelli would bring out as a real trade mark of his own, starting from the subsequent adventure of the ‘Cosmic’, on the lake of Garda, the place where the so-called ‘afro’ phenomenon was born. But that’s another story... Fabio De Luca, june 2005.
V/A- DANIELE BALDELLI PRESENTS COSMIC CD (mediane, italy)
19.98usd/10.15gbp/12.91eur/2154jpy (approx)
*Post-disco and electro grooves all strung together beautifully! The Cosmic was the successor to Baia Degli Angeli, and featured the same DJ -- Daniele Baldelli -- but a very different sound overall -- one that was much more tuned to the electronic modes bubbling forth from England, Germany, and New York in the early 80s -- sounds that were sometimes stark and spare, sometimes warm and funky -- and which are remembered beautifully on the music in this set. The CD features 20 discreet tracks that include "Endless Race" by Wally Badarou, "This Man" by Phill & The Friends, "Maccaroni Radio" by Eddy Trauba & MM Greco, "Pages" by Axxess, "State Of The Nation" by Fad Gadget, "Cosmic Parsley" by Daniele Baldelli, "Pagaia" by Tony Esposito, "Touch" by Secession, "While You Want" by New Music, "African Rapness" by Chris Hinze, "Chinese Revenge" by Koto, and "Lescudjack" by Michael Chapman. -dustygroove
