THE WAILERS BAND / RHYTHM & SOUND, "HIGHER FIELD MARSHALL / NO PARTIAL" 10"

Mysterious UK based reggae label PK Records have somehow dug up aclassic and coupled it with a modern classic on 10 inches of vinyl. TheA-side is a previously unreleased instrumental by The Wailers Band,produced by Clive Chin at Randy's and featuring Peter Tosh on melodica,thus dating it to the early '70s I believe.

The Notwist, "Neon Golden"

In the four years since their last album, 'Shrink,' the members of this German group have kept active with numerous other projects, including two astonishing albums from Lali Puna; two incredible full-lengthers and a remix disc from Tied and Tickled Trio; plus notable LP, EP and remix releases from Console; and various appearances on others albums.

Since then they've explored slightlystranger performance spaces such as a nuclear bunker, a boat and aderelict building. This CD sees mainman Drew Mulholland plough a moreesoteric furrow, into which he drops psychogeopraphic seeds that growfrom pale saplings wincing in the light into a dark forest of tanglednoise monorhythms.

XINLISUPREME, "TOMORROW NEVER COMES"

Imagine an alternate universe in which all the so-called 'shoegazer'bands didn't just water down the all pervasive influence of My BloodyValentine but upped the noise crescendos to the next level. Japaneseduo Xinlisupreme just beamed in from that place!

Nurse With Wound, "The Man With the Woman Face"

Longtime NWW fans are going to be very very very pleased with thisalbum. Shaved down to a mere duo featuring Steven Stapleton and ColinPotter, this is almost a tribute to the more ambient and free-formearly to mid-period Nurse with Wound.

Kammerflimmer Kollektief, "Hysteria"

The latest release from Thomas Weber's Munich-based 'ShimmeringCollective' is somewhat of a crossover between the previous twofull-lenthers recently issued in North America by Temporary Residence.The six-song EP continues with Weber's love of both organic jazz/improvand affinity for electronics, almost split down the middle between thecollective playing and Weber's solo electronic journeys.
