VANISHING VOICE - Nordic Visions - cd
imprec132 - cd - $11.99 
Nordic Visions was originaly released in a tiny vinyl edition
of 525 copies which sold out immediately. Here it is by demand,
resurrected as a digital tiki for the original vinyl release.
While Wooden Wand and Satya Sai jammed with the Sky
High Band in beautiful California, the Vanishing Voice dug
in deep in the frozen northeast. Snowed in with utopian texts and
mounting paranoia, Steven The Harvester, Heidi White Diamond
Diehl, and Pete Wolfy Nolan joined Nonhorse in
an abandoned textile factory, boiling out these ballads of suspended
disbelief and hope for the better world.

Brand new collaboration between Pete Swanson
and Gabe Saloman of Yellow Swans, Tom Carter
of Charalambides and Robert Horton. This
time it's a landslide of swamp-noise-drone with feedback layered
like mud atop the skeleton of a buried song structure

Alasehir is the project of Bardo Pond brothers
John and Michael Gibbons with drummer Michael
Zangha. Unlike the Gibbons' project Alumbrados,
also being released on Important at the same time, Alasehir
is more rock oriented, establishing a heady, heavy groove
and jamming on it throughout. .

Much different than the lumbering jams of
Alasehir are the drenched ethno-drones of Alumbrados.
Featuring Bardo Pond's John & Michael Gibbons
on guitar, sitar, cumbas and various percussive instruments
as well as Michael Zanghi and Aaron Igler with
additional electronics and percussion. Alumbrados is
a beautiful, rhythmic and tremendously arranged psychedelic
experience.

Free/tribal
percussion spatter 'n clatter duels with endlessly mutating
three chord sludge-riffage beneath thick, poison clouds
of delayed-out vocal groan. Truly CHOCK full of
manic bad-mood energy but maybe psych-droney and resin-soaked
enough for the new crop of crunchier noise-heads to nod
to as well. Electric guitars strung with duct tape
and drums equipped with hundred-year old heads are jettisoned
into deep space and dynamited, combusting so vividly that
the afterimages soak our retinas with mandalas of interwoven
earthworms and beer funnels for hours afterwards.
We pass the savings on to YOU! Guest starring Samara

Lunar
Eclipse was culled from over 30 hours of recordings taking
place, inedvertantly, on the equinox, lunar eclipse and winter
solstice of 2004 .The duo of Tom Carter (Charalambides) and
Robert Horton sound as if they are channeling the natural
power of these significant calender days into the music. They
both noticed something special was happening during the initial
recording session when they looked at a clock and realised that
they'd been playing for over 5 hours. |

"This
is music as a shamanic aid, made as much for the players themselves
as for the listeners. But as I’m writing from the listening
perspective, I have to inform y’all that this is music
to get you there. Every track sounds as though it has always
just ‘been there’, it’s just you ain’t quite
tuned into its peculiar frequency until now. The 12-and-a-half
minute Wearing Clothes of Ash is like a piano-led PARADIESWARTS
DUUL-period drone-a-thon with John Cale and Terry
Riley guesting on viola and keys. Following this, the sublime
Baptism Bar Blues is proof positive that they can rock
the riot house with pure adrenaline rush when the decision is
made. Indeed, this track is magnificent and should be available
to the masses free or in pill form." Julian Cope
