PS, US ON 2LP! Created in the deepest & darkest of Berlin's winters,
2007-2008, this is intended to be a valve, a loophole, a respite from
the crazy summers into the introspection & hibernation of winter.
The sounds of everyday life & snatches of whispers reveal themselves
w/ field-recorded closeness, the beats are as soft & as near as
a heartbeat, ambient synth sounds are as long & spacious as an

PS, US ALLEN ORR & ASHLEY PROFFITT met in the fall of 2000 in
Atlanta & instantly became fans of each other's music. Allen was
in the band IGLOO & Ashley was playing quiet solo shows. Over
the next 7 yrs the two of them each moved several times to different
cities & countries, only to reconnect in New York. Allen had a
bunch of songs, Ashley had a Wurlitzer & one thing led to another.

PS, US Sophomore record from acclaimed Portland experimental pop collective,
which, in its swirling depths and subtleties, promises to be one of
this year's most satisfying surprises. Verbs is padded out with contributions
from nearly thirty collaborators, a list which includes members of
YELLOW SWANS, PARENTHETICAL GIRLS, and EVOLUTIONARY JASS BAND, among
many others-inadvertently resulting in a strange & singular snapshot
of the city's. famously sprawling musical community. The resulting
record seamlessly segues through new & unlikely ecstatic extremes
with an arresting economy.

PS, US The album begins w/ 3 short pieces, sonic examples of texture
meeting metal-like a djinn trapped in molten gold, attempting to burst
free from his cage but only managing to express rage via infinie temporary
sculptures ranging from the nightmares of the Mutter Museum to futuristic
expressions of nature not yet captured by a conscious eye. The final
track is 28 mins of pure glory that will surely become one of noise
rock's classics.

of their recent output. Not to say the group doesn't kick up a good
racket, it's just way spacious & soft sounding at points. Lots
of dreamy moments of quiet acoustic strum & subtle synth weirdness.

Camper Van Beethoven
Popular Songs of Great Enduring Strength and Beauty
PS, US Mid- to late-period restrospective compiles some of Camper
Van Beethoven's finest, most enduring, strongest and most potent phonological
loops. Forewarned is forearmed! "Popular Songs" features
18 tracks, 5 of which have been re-recorded specifically for this
release. Explains Camper Van Beethoven band spokesperson, Col. Jack
"Cheese" Sandwich (ret.) of Limone sul Garda, Italy : "We
endeavored to present an enticing set of popular songs from the much-acclaimed
"secondary and tertiary recording periods" of the band,
1985-1990. We were, however, thwarted in this effort by a certain
recording company which had released the later (tertiary) output of
these original recordings. We made offers to buy back our own catalog,
but they were rebuffed. Hence, still owning the publishing rights,
we decided to re-record a few of these later songs. We have attempted
to remake them to so closely resemble the original recordings as to
be essentially exact forgeries, but keen ears may be able to sense
an underlying maturity that the originals might have lacked. We apologize
for that, but it couldn't be helped."

Chassagnard, Jerome
(f)light
PS, GERMANY With (f)light, Jérôme Chassagnard, a member
of the French project Ab Ovo, presents his first solo work. He is
accompanied by befriended artists like Flaque and Guillaume Eluerd
(Nimp). What can we expect from an artist whose influences and preferences
range from electronica and ambient to pop, ethnic music and drum'n'bass
whose preferred authors are A. De St. Exupery, and André Gide,
E.A. Poe and Ray Bradbury whose favorite movie directors are Stanley
Kubrick, David Lynch and Steven Spielberg - just to name a few. What
looks like an eclectic puzzle at first glance makes perfect sense
after listening to this outstanding album... each track is carried
by intense, emotional moods that take the listener from warm and soothing
tranquility to disturbing and yet unknown places with proficient subtlety.
Flowing ambient landscapes based upon varied rhythms include beautiful,
sometimes slightly sad melodies - only a glimpse of the darkness behind
the mirror of technology. All of this accented with sampled acoustic
instruments and the appropriate use of voices and guitars - this album
holds a perfect balance between beat and drift. A captivating piece
of work - essential listening to all those who wish to enter an abstract
parallel world - yet, not so abstract that they'll get lost.

Durutti Column, The
Sunlight to Blue... Blue to Blackness
PS, UK "Sunlight to blue ... Blue to blackness" - This was
one of the more upbeat title suggestions for the very bare, back to
basics, reflective new album from The Durutti Column. Vini Reilly
has recorded under the name The Durutti Column since 1978 and has
a rich portfolio of work, releasing over 15 albums in this time, but
Reilly has been through some dark times the past year. In a conscious
response to his last two polished and studio based releases he has
created some sparse, simply beautiful 'sketches' as he once called
them, more reminiscent of his work from the early eighties. Many of
the pieces are simply instrumentals played on his Juan Montero flamenco
guitar, and he returns to 'Without Mercy' for the last track 'Grief'
and reinvents 'Never Known' from LC. This release also sees the debut
of a talented young pianist and singer, Poppy Morgan, who co-wrote
the melancholy Ananda as a duet with what Reilly dryly calls 'intrusive
guitar'. For the uninitiated, Vini was the first artist signed to
Manchester's influential Factory Records, co-wrote and played on Morrissey's
first solo album 'Viva Hate', and was heavily featured in the film
about Manchester music culture, '24 Hour Party People'. Ever critical
of Vini's voice, but ever a fierce champion of his talent, the late
Tony Wilson would surely appreciate this return of The Durutti Column.

Ginormous
At Night, Under Artificial Light
PS, GERMANY On Ginormous' third album on Hymen Records, Bryan Konietzko
did take more time and produced his most direct and potent musical
message to date. 'At Night' is even more emotive and personal than
Ginormous' previous work, all while resisting self-indulgence. These
eleven tracks were objectively beaten and honed until they each became
the most condensed and vivid versions of themselves. Bryan Konietzko
shines his bright, 'artificial light' on the elements that hoards
of electronic music composers fear the most: melody, song structure
and brevity. the album is an intense and addictive experience, charging
forward with the nervous energy of urban, nighttime cityscapes, speeding
subways and foreboding factories. Here is an organic, human element
at the center of this unrelenting journey, in the form of symphonic
and acoustic instruments and warm bass lines, balancing the bold compositions.
The album starts with 'punches to carefully coax,' a proud peacock
of a track where thick, jagged planes of ice collide with razor sharp
synth strings. 'Melted Circadian' bristles with a chromatically-fractal
melody that spins like a neon helix in vertigo. Konietzko parades
a passionate assortment of prepared guitars with a muscular beat in
the sweeping 'coiled so tightly.' The title track confidently trudges
like a phalanx of tungsten-clad shadows pursuing a cloud of glittering
insects. 'From Deep Bore Holes' hypnotizes with an unsettlingly lingual
snare drum that tries and fails to speak, possibly warning of the
molten, rubberized synth melody that waits in the depths, poised to
scald. Finally, 'awakening the magpie in all of us' sails on a slow
Bonham-esque dream-beat while dozens of chimes and metallophones pull
the 43-minute album to its inevitable, timely conclusion.

The Call
PS, US Features Henry Grimes: bass; Tom Price: drums; Perry Robinson:

Henry Grimes made his debut on ESP with Perry Robinson on clarinet,
lending his unique Klezmer approach to the New Music. Born in 1935
in Philadelphia, Grimes was one of the most remarkable bassists of
the 60s free jazz movement. This historic session, recorded for ESP
in 1965, is one of his few recordings as leader & features the
extraordinary Perry Robinson on clarinet. This adventurous album is
motivating and inviting to the listener, and falls into the diversity
of the ESP-Disk catalog. Digitally remastered. New digipak format.

PS, US The Grip Weeds share the best of their sparkling, insanely

their four albums, plus one newly recorded song: SHE BRINGS THE RAIN.
The central New Jersey natives have fanned the flames of a growing

where beautiful, bruising harmonies and tensile rhythms collide in
resurgent soundscapes and emotive Disco workouts. The album is co-produced

Ives, Charles
A Radical In A Suit And Tie
PS, UK The music of Charles Ives is a cultural sourcebook of America
at the beginning of the twentieth century. He took the evangelical
hymns, the college songs, melodies of the dance hall, the tunes of
small town bands and the sounds of village life and shaped them into
musical works that are at one familiar and of startling originality.
Long considered to be unplayable, his musical juxtapositions would
prove to be enormously influential inform such kaleidoscopic inventions
as Van Dyke Parks' Song Cycle and the Beach Boys' Smile.

Key, The
Fit Me In
PS, UK German Volker Langefeld and Englishman Alan Warren were the
brains behind The Key, whose 1978 album "Fit Me In" is a
largely undiscovered jewel in the '70s power-pop crown. Whilst similarly
conceived long players by the likes of Klaatu and Liverpool Echo -
who also wore their Paul McCartney/Emitt Rhodes/Eric Carmen influences
on their sleeves - have become acknowledged classics, The Key's debut
has remained a mystery to all but the lucky few; until now! Recorded
in Germany and England, released on EMI's short-lived Emily subsidiary,
the album sold well and the duo recruited a touring band embarking
on a whirlwind of promotional activity, appearing on TV and radio
shows everywhere. A third member, Michael Lowey, joined the group
in time to record a follow-up single and a couple of unreleased tracks
(all included here) but the band were dropped by EMI as quickly as
they'd been picked up. First reissue anywhere ever of this much missed
album!

Lithops
Mound Magnet: Part Two
PS, US "Elevations above Sea Level" is the second Mound
Magnet part from Lithops aka Jan St Werner, 1/2 of the prolific duo
Mouse on Mars, 1/3 of last year's surprise collaboration "Von
Südenfed" with the Fall's Mark E Smith & 1/2 of the
dsp group Microstoria. "Elevations above Sea Level" gives
us aural diagrams of a large, hypermodern cities with futuristic vehicles
moving around. The electrical ticking of fluorescent advertising panels,
a thwappy airiness of the entilation system, the rattles of trains
& chopped up hums of distant roads, the mechanical groans that
maintenance machinery starts up with, rain drumming on
the stretched glass roofs of urban malls, the howling groans of motorcycles
on city highways. It's not an ambient record by any means, nor is
it purely musique concrete. It's rather an acid fulled hallucination
of how to detect an idea of the future in the noises that surround
us.

Little Ax
Stone Cold Ohio
PS, US AMG: "
Little Axe is guitarist and singer Skip McDonald, but it's also much
more than that. It is, in practice, a virtual reunion of the Sugarhill
Gang -- the rhythm section responsible for the grooves underlying
such paleo-hip-hop classics as "Rapper's Delight" and "White
Lines" -- and therefore also a virtual reunion of Tackhead, the
pioneering avant funk outfit that brought the Sugarhill Gang together
with British producer Adrian Sherwood and vocalists Gary Clail and
Bernard Fowler. In the Little Axe context, though, the focus is squarely
on McDonald and on his overriding passion: vintage blues. Imagine
a Delta blues aesthetic (spare, rural, and stark), and then imagine
it thickened with additional instrumental layers and twisted with
dubwise atmospherics, and you'll have some idea what to expect --
sort of like a posthumous collaboration between Howlin' Wolf and African
Head Charge."

PS, UK For King Vidor's 1956 filming of Tolstoy's epic, Nino Rota,
already revered for his work on the films of Federico Fellini and
who would go on to compose the Oscar-winning music for the first two
parts of The Godfather trilogy, provides a suitably dramatic and romantic
score that pays homage to the music of Tchaikovsky. The film is a
truly sumptuous spectacle, thanks to the radiance of the young Audrey
Hepburn (who plays Natasha) and the contribution of veteran cinematographer
Jack Cardiff - widely hailed as a genius in the field after his work
on the Powell and Pressburger masterpieces A Matter of Life and Death,
Black Narcissus and The Red Shoes. Nino Rota s score is long deleted
in digital form and much sought after by the composer s acolytes in
America, Japan and Italy especially. Audrey Hepburn is collectable
in all mediums and naturally enough she graces the front cover of
our edition. Prelude / The Orgy / Andrei Leaving For The War - Pierre
And Natasha / The Battle Of Austerlitz / Moment Musical - Andrei Andnatasha
- The Hunt / War And Peace (Natasha's Waltz) / Anatole And Natasha
/ Winter And The Remembrance Of Andrei / The Charge Of The Cavalry
And The Wounded / Exodus From Moscow / Napoleon's Retreat / The Homecoming

Nurse With Wound
Huffin' Rag Blues
PS, UK The new album, their first for over 4 years, 'Huffin' Rag Blues'
is the inevitable conclusion of Steven Stapleton and Andrew Liles'
passion for easy listening and lounge jazz. Contorted and carved into
a distinctly Nurse With Wound sound 'Huffin' Rag Blues' is a greasy
amalgam of uneasy listening, shaken and stirred Molotov cocktails
and quixotica. Full to the brim with squeals, screams, smokey vocals,
drunken double basses, melting vibraphones and internal organs from
outer space this album is an unlikely and unique excursion from beginning
to end. As with all Nurse With Wound recordings it goes without saying...
expect the unexpected.

anomalous structure, inimitable guitar buzz, sublime melancholy &
distorted vocals (crooned, spoken & moaned). Quo once more finds
Pumice cruising the convergence of pop, folk & noise strains with
bona fide inner mystique. Sputtering sub-underground skiffle aims
for outer zones, diamond cuts of nervous guitar with pesky hooks that
sting & tickle tread rough hewn punk turf, pop tangents charm
with echoes of the Kilgours or Chris Knox, and woozy synth blurts
& drones thread the patchwork patterns with Hulk-like grace.

The fuzz-guitar dominated "No Reaction," sung clear as a

Schaefer, Janek
Extended Play [Triptych for the child survivors of war and conflict]
PS, US LIMITED EDITION 600. LINE is proud to release the latest audio
work from British composer and installation artist Janek Schaefer
based on his installation of the same title. Installation Reviews:
"a piece to return to again and again... haunting and lulling"
[The Wire, UK] "so inspirational, and in many ways very spiritual"
[Gerry Turvey] "I was so deeply touched by your piece" [Mandeep
Kaur Samra] Red is the colour of Life, of Death, and of Love. Scarlett,
my first child, was born in 2005, and since then I have been very
aware of how lucky we all are. I have been constantly comparing this
to the fact that my mother was born in Warsaw in 1942 - the epicenter
of World War II. How opposite can two beginnings be? This inspired
me to produce the Extended Play installation, which continuously and
positively celebrates hope and new beginnings, for child survivors
in all situations around the world. The original idea for the composition,
came from learning about the 'Jodoform' system of secret musical messages,
that were broadcast by the BBC Service, during music they played was
given a particular meaning, which was interpreted by Polish Underground.
Discovered from the original Jodoform log book, that the lovely Polish
folk song 'Tango Lyczakowskie', was broadcast on the day my mother
was born. The song describes how children in 1918, had been forced
to take up arms, in defense of their town. From this tune, chose a
short rising musical phrase, and with my arranger Michael Jennings,
developed a ten-minute score. Each of the three solo parts was then
recorded separately, edited, and cut onto vinyl. In the gallery, 3
x Cello EP's, 3 x Piano EP's, and 3 x Violin EP''s are played at 33,
45, or 78rpm using nine retro record players. These play continuously,
and each was modified to stop playing briefly in response to the audience
moving around the exhibition. This has the effect of changing and
extending the composition, so that it is never the same again.

Sigur Ros
Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust
PS, US Inspired by the unfettered feeling of the acoustic performances
filmed during Heima, Sigur Rós adopted a looser approach in
creating their fifth album Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust. The
album consequently is fresher and more human than anything they've
previously recorded. Rough edges, cracked notes, and the sound of
fingers on strings are audible resulting in tracks (e.g. "Íllgresi")
that prove to be the band's sparsest and most affecting work to date.
Worry not though, plenty of electric guitar can be heard throughout
the album ensuring Sigur Rós' commitment to challenging sonic
limitations. Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust is truly a groundbreaking
album for Sigur Rós. It's the first time they've attempted
to write, record, mix, release and support (by touring) an album in
the same year. Notoriously known for their laborious writing/recording
style and their Icelandic
roots, Sigur Rós decided to record an album outside of Iceland
for the first time. Recording, mixing and mastering sessions took
place in such un-Reykjavik cities as New York (Sear Sound and Sterling
Sound), London (Abbey Road and Assault & Battery) and Havana.
The result is pretty much their "leave home" album, the
anti-Heima. The opening track, "Gobbledigook", is a manifesto
setter with its shifting/no time signature. On the last track, "All
Alright", Sigur Rós find themselves singing a song solely
in English for the first time. The seventh track, "Ára
Bátur", was performed with a full orchestra and the London
Oratory Boys Choir. This was recorded in one take with no overdubs
and the result was 90 people playing at once and just one perfect
take. This is their first album working with Flood (U2, Depeche Mode,
PJ Harvey) and the first since their debut to not be recorded with
Ken Thomas. It was a true co-production, one that found Sigur Rós
breaking out of old molds/habits. The cover artwork is a photo taken
from a flyer for Ryan McGinley's most recent photo exhibition in NYC,
"I Know Where the Summer Goes", and the image captures perfectly
the spirit of the album, one of free-spirited happiness and exploration.

& prerecorded takes, the music maintains a drifting, painterly
quality that easily evokes the American west as much as the European
east which Smith so lovingly mines for his HALA STRANA recordings.

as the name suggests, is reserved, pulled back & solemn, some

Swan has always been the album that divided Triffids fans - it was
an eclectic mix of styles at the time and, though this seems a little
less unusual these days, it's still mighty eclectic. Restored to the
album Dave and the band had hoped against hope for in 1989 by the
addition of 5 songs left out back then - and an encore. Accompanied
by a bonus disc of demos and unreleased material. The original album

Tubes, The
Goin Down The Tubes
PS, UK Reissue of this classic compilation, taken from the Tubes'
golden period during their time with A&M records in the late 1970's.
This double CD takes from all their best-loved albums and includes
the entire remote control album that was released in 1979, produced
by Todd Rundgren. The CD booklet features a UK discography, sleeve
notes and lyrics to the singles included on the album. Also many of
the band's brilliant and visually striking album images are featured
throughout the booklet. The CD features 5 of the band's best known
singles 'White Punks On Dope', 'Don't Touch Me There', 'Prime Time',
'TV is King' and 'Love's A Mystery (I Don't Understand)'. The Tubes
created a unique blend of tongue in cheek theatrical rock that found
a niche within the whole punk/new wave movement of the mid-late 70's.
They built a huge reputation for their outrageously extravagant live
shows, performing at Knebworth festival and a record breaking run
at the old Hammersmith Odeon. The Tubes are still working today.

Hesperian Puisto (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE AUGUST 12TH)
PS, SWEDEN It really is time for Action Biker's first solo album!
It has now been six years since she emerged as an artist doing fun
and popular live shows and releasing CD-R's in the indie pop scene
of Gothenburg, Sweden, which included people like Jens Lekman and
The Honeydrips. Since then, Sarah Nyberg Pergament has been involved
in other projects, such as Flow Flux Clan, Kissing Mirrors and The
Dreamers, whose record "Day For Night" has received great
acclaim from different places around the world. Over the years, Sarah
has also performed lots of Action Biker shows (some, as an opening
act for Le Tigre and The Embassy), contributed to recordings with
Lars Blek (The Field), Differnet and The Honeydrips, and all this
time, new recordings with Action Biker have popped up on compilations
and singles. In brief, when "Hesperian Puisto" finally is
released, it means the début of someone with a lot of experienceŠ
The record is named after the Hesperian park in Helsinki, Finland,
where Sarah lived for a while. She describes her music as baroque
on synthesizers. It is pop music built on complex naivety - altogether
very accessible music with distinct vocals and a crispy, sweet, analogue
sound. Two great-looking videos are also included on the CD. References

vision of BSE's potentially final works. The two title tracks, Across
the Sea of Id and Eden Song, are reflective, yet hallucinatory explorations
into Jesus Acedo's unique compositional & melodic sensibility.
While Angel de la Guardia has a refined yet explosive rock swagger,
it is balanced by the meditation Perelandra & La Paz. The CD also

the unclassifiable punk-jazz trio led by Ted Milton. Formed in Stroud
in 1979, Blurt consisted of Ted Milton (sax, vocals), brother Jake
Milton (drums) and guitarist Pete Creese. Ted had already attracted
the attention of Factory founder Tony Wilson as a puppeteer (!), and
were invited to join the label. Blurt performed at several Factory
showcase gigs in London between April and August 1980, and recorded
one side of the double compilation album A Factory Quartet (FACT 24).
Although their anarchic shows and music drew rave reviews, Blurt were
frustrated by delays in releasing their Factory recording, and the
last minute loss of a Factory tour of Europe in October. A live album,
Live In Berlin, was recorded in December 1980 and scheduled for release
as a 10" on Factory Benelux, but canceled after Blurt annoyed
Wilson by comparing the Factory label to lifestyle boutique Habitat.
The set was subsequently released as In Berlin on Armageddon, its
memorable cover featuring a photograph of a pile of pink rubbish sacks.
Digitally remastered, The Factory Recordings combines all tracks from
A Factory Quartet and In Berlin, including Blurt favorites My Mother
Was a Friend of an Enemy of the People, Ubu, Puppeteers of the World
Unite and Cherry Blossom Polish. The booklet features archive images
and detailed sleevenotes. Ted Milton and Blurt still perform regularly
in both Britain and Europe, and remain an undervalued national treasure.

California Oranges
Imperial Hearts (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE JULY 22ND)
PS, US Our Sacramento, CA indie-pop all stars return with a gem of
a pop/rock album full of hooky choruses, call and response guitars
and a super tight power-pop rhythm section. A pow-pow-powerful good
good feeling! Just as you'd expect from this seasoned music family.
Bask in the summer sun with the fourth album from the golden state's
California Oranges and a healthy dose of the sunshine power pop they're
known for. Underlying the power is a healthy dose of pop: Delicately
concocted, contemplative songs exploring life's ups and downs. The
quintet has hit their stride on Imperial Hearts. The record features
the same line up as their 2005 release Souvenirs: John Conley (Holiday
Flyer), Verna Brock (Rocketship, Beanpole, Holiday Flyer, Sinking
Ships), Ross Levine (Sinking Ships), Katie Haley (Holiday Flyer, Sinking
Ships), and Matt Levine (Sinking Ships). The album was jointly produced
by the California Oranges and Dana Gumbiner (Night Night, Deathray).
Imperial Hearts was mixed by long time friend of the band, producer/engineer,
Eric Stenman (Saves the Day, The Comas, The Cab). The California Oranges
construct songs filled with, "soaring boy/girl harmonies, rapid-fire
licks of squeaky clean and buzz saw dirty guitar work, consistently
up-tempo beats, and melodies that would make tone deaf kitten haters
want to sing along" --Popmatters. "Power pop has rarely
sounded as sweet." --Treblezine. TRACK LIST: 1. Brand New Spine,
2. We've Got Time, 3. Travel Writer, 4. Anywhere USA, 5. I Still Hold
On, 6. Silver Shoes, 7. Feel Better, 8. Waiting Is Slow, 9. I Told

Centromatic/South San Gabriel
Dual Hawks (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE JULY 8TH)
PS, US Keeping track of the distinctions between Centro-matic and
South San Gabriel could be a full-time effort, if one were so inclined.
Based in Denton, Texas, Centro-matic once titled an album South San
Gabriel Songs/Music, only to give a splinter faction of the participating
musicians-meaning Centro-matic and more friends-the name South San
Gabriel and release that album in Europe under the new band name.
South San Gabriel includes the four core members of Centro-matic,
plus additional members, but we'll get to that shortly. You might
be inclined to say that Centro-matic material tends to be more rockin',
with SSG its mellow, literary counterpart, and Will Johnson's solo
material as...well...usually (how shall I put this?) skinny-dipping
in the abyss-but it would be a gross oversimplification. Each of these
projects shares all of the aforementioned respective qualities and
more. What is distinctive about the release of Dual Hawks is that
we get the chance to hear side-by-side the various ways in which Centro-matic
and South San Gabriel complement and play off of each other-sort of
the full-length equivalent of a split single.

a reaction to the sinister allure of fame as it was when released

to a long relationship w/ Sub Pop Records, who offered to put out

of sparse cymbal tings and snare cracks with ghostly guitar whines
in the distance" - The Bollard

and ramshackle audio ingenuity - all presented through the band's
slightly skewed and utterly individualistic outlook. Dr. Dog have
toured with Wilco, Strokes, Raconteurs, Black Keys, Clap Your Hands

Durutti Column, The
Treatise on the Steppenwolf OST (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE JULY 8TH)
PS, UK LTM is proud to announce the release of the very first soundtrack
recording by The Durutti Column, the legendary Factory Records ensemble
formed and fronted by virtuoso guitarist/composer Vini Reilly. Treatise
on the Steppenwolf is the soundtrack to the performance piece of the
same name by experimental theatre group 12 Stars, written and directed
by Gerard McInulty, first staged in Glasgow in May 2003. Freely adapted
from the celebrated counter-culture novel by Hermann Hesse, the performance
is a portrait a divided character in a state of ongoing conflict.
Previously unreleased, the soundtrack CD combines the original studio
recordings of the 12 pieces performed by The Durutti Column during
the Glasgow run, as well as two bonus live tracks recorded at the
event, one featuring spoken-word narrative by cast member Carolyn
Allen. The attractive booklet for this 60 minute digital re-master
includes background notes, and images from the Glasgow performance
in May 2003. Artist biography: Manchester native Vini Reilly formed
The Durutti Column in 1978, recording his debut album The Return of
the Durutti Column the following year with producer Martin Hannett,
a set of delicate instrumental tracks housed in an abrasive sandpaper
sleeve. Subsequent landmark albums include LC (1981), Without Mercy
(1984), The Guitar & Other Machines (1987), Sex & Death (1993),
Fidelity (1996) and Someone Else's Party (2003). A prolific recording
artist in his own right (usually with drummer Bruce Mitchell), Reilly
has also guested on records by Morrissey, Olive and Holly Johnson.
For many years the group sawas managed by the late Anthony H. Wilson,
founder of Factory Records.

Fallen Leaves, The
It's Too Late Now (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE JULY 1ST)
PS, UK From defining Subway Sect to first & last word in garage
punk Rob Symmons is back with The Fallen Leaves. London's very own
group THE FALLEN LEAVES was formed in 2004 by Rob Green (Rob built
himself a reputation singing at Bernie Rhodes' "Club Left"
and by performing with Vic Godard's Subway Sect, notably supporting
Siouxsie & The Banshees at the Music Machine in '80), and by original
'76-'78 Subway Sect guitarist/founding member Rob Symmons whose distinctive
discordant, stinging guitar sound was one of the defining features
of the original Subway Sect which he formed with best friend Godard.
Memorably Subway Sect's debut gig was at the now historic "100
Club Punk Rock Festival" in Sept '76 where they kicked off the
first night, followed by their heroes the Sex Pistols, and The Clash.
Subway Sect turned out to be one of the most original and innovative
bands to emerge from the festival. Their first single "Nobody's
Scared" was released in Mar '78, but unfortunately for Symmons
by the time second single "Ambition" came out (Dec '78)
Bernie Rhodes (manager of both Subway Sect and The Clash) had persuaded
Vic Godard to sack the rest of band, and then somehow lost the band's
original album recordings. "Ambition" went straight to the
top of the indie charts selling 20,000 copies in a week and stayed
there for nine weeks. Symmons' amazingly didn't play guitar again
until he and long time friend Green formed The Fallen Leaves. Symmons
& Green share a love of 60's garage music, and ever-so stylish
vintage suits. THE FALLEN LEAVES' recordings are alive, heated and
humming - preferring as they do to use vintage valve amps & mics,
and recording live with no overdubs and minimal technology. They hark
back to DIY punk days and concentrate on delivering impressive songs
and performances.
