CLEAN "Mister Pop (re-issue 2009)” (MERGE) MRG325 LP January 29 street date. David Kilgour on "Mister Pop": ""Mister Pop" began in Brooklyn, NY, at Gary Olson's Marlborough Farms studio and was completed in the basement hall of First Church Dunedin. There is more synthesizer on this album than the others, mainly an old Juno synth. I do remember having a bath in Brooklyn while Robert was downstairs singing and writing. I thought he was singing "he's a factory man", so I dried off and went down and wrote "Factory Man" while thinking heavily of The Kinks". Robert Scott on "Mister Pop": "I remember thinking at the start of the NY sessions with Gary Olson, "is this the start of a new album?". We were coming up with quite a bit of new stuff, and of course, Gary is great to work with. We carried on at Burlington St in Dunedin with (engineer and Heavy 8) Tex Houston at the controls, good fun from what I remember, lots of mucking around with keyboards and synths. We were going for that Krautrock groove and we sure got it on "Tensile", one of my faves along with the pure pop of "Dreamlife". CLEAN "Unknown Country (re-issue 1996)” (MERGE) MRG739 LP January 29 street date. David Kilgour on "Unknown Country": "The Clean always wanna try something different, but on this LP, we were obsessed with the idea. I remember we generally left vocal ideas to last, after the tracks were recorded, so we never really knew where we were headed. Might also explain all the instrumentals! Made during the Balkan War, hence the reference. And for the freaks, I think "Balkans" is the only Clean track ever to not actually feature The Clean playing. It's all Alan Starrett, as we removed the backing track". Robert Scott on "Unknown Country": "This album is very different from our other albums. We didn't go into the studio with many "song" ideas - a lot of it was written on the spot. I really enjoyed recording this as it was free of expectation. We weren't playing much live at the time. Certainly our most experimental album". EVERGREY "Escape Of The Phoenix (AFM) AFM7541 LP (2LP-indie exclusive/picture d" EVERGREY "Escape Of The Phoenix (AFM) AFM75411 LP (2LP-indie exclusive/crystal c" EVERGREY "Escape Of The Phoenix (AFM) AFM75412 LP (2LP-clear blue vinyl)" EVERGREY "Escape Of The Phoenix (AFM) AFM75414AFM LP (2LP-indie exclusive/clear red" EVERGREY "Escape Of The Phoenix (AFM) AFM7546 LP (2LP+7-inch artbook)" EVERGREY "Escape Of The Phoenix (AFM) AFMD7549 CD (digi)" February 26 street date. Swedish dark melodic metal masters Evergrey return with their 12th album - dark and heavy, the phoenix is rising! Since the release of "Hymns For The Broken" in 2014, Evergrey has enjoyed increased notoriety and success with "The Storm Within" (2016) and "The Atlantic" (2019) - ironically, a conceptual trilogy - which is highly unusual for a veteran act. They mean to continue this tradition with "Escape Of The Phoenix", another heavy, melancholic and thought-provoking journey as only Evergrey can create. The result is 11 songs that embody everything Evergrey fans have to expect, albeit - a more metal version of "The Atlantic", with songs that are more direct - according to Englund and producer Jacob Hansen. KROL, MIKE "Mike Krol Is Never Dead (MERGE) MRG589 CD (3CD) the first 2 albums" January 29 street date. Most listeners were introduced to Mike Krol in 2015 with the release of his Merge debut, "Turkey". Few knew at the time that "Turkey" was actually Chapter 3 of the Krol saga, and that he had self-released two records years earlier. To the delight of his new legion of fans, Merge reissued those early albums as the 2017 collection "Mike Krol Is Never Dead". With that release, "I Hate Jazz" and "Trust Fund" found new life, and the inclusion of digital-only rarities led to fresh demand for this CD reissue. The 3-CD edition of "Mike Krol Is Never Dead" includes the first two albums housed in miniature-sized reproductions of the original album tri-fold wallets, and an additional disc filled with an illuminating selection of outtakes, demos, and B-sides from that era.

ANAMANAGUCHI "Dawn Metroplis (POLYVINYL) PRC412 LP (coloured vinyl)" February 19 street date. Back in print for the first time in years, "Dawn Metropolis" is Anamanaguchi's debut album, and the first with the complete band lineup. The core is an NES sound chip programmed to the brim with hyperactive 8-bit melody, as the band shreds along with a real punk sensibility. "Blackout City" appeared in the game Bit Trip Runner, and "Jetpack Blues, Sunset Hues" was featured as the theme song to the Nerdist podcast. Orange/maroon/purple vinyl with download. ANAMANAGUCHI "Power Supply (coloured)” (POLYVINYL) PRC415 LP February 19 street date. Anamanaguchi's driving & dynamic debut EP, recorded while the band was still in high school. First released on the legendary chip music netlabel, 8bitpeoples, these are the seeds of the band's hyper- melodic, digital powerpop flavor - "it is recommended that you sing along with the squarewaves". White with red and gold splatter vinyl and download. ANOTHER MICHAEL "New Music And Big Pop” (RUN FOR RFC210 CD ANOTHER MICHAEL "New Music And Big (RUN FOR RFC210LPC3 LP Pop (coke bottle green vinyl)" February 19 street date. Recorded in a small A-frame house-turned-makeshift studio outside Ferndale, NY, "New Music And Big Pop" finds Another Michael pushing their sound in a dreamier, more folk-influenced direction, building songs around vulnerable, intimate performances using an ethereal palette of breezy guitars, subtle keyboards, and layered harmonies. As on the band's early EPs, singer and songwriter Michael Doherty's mesmerizing voice is front and center here, calling to mind Robin Pecknold or Ben Bridwell in its reedy, crystalline timbre, but it feels more at home than ever before amidst the album's lush, Technicolor landscape, which the band partnered with producer and fellow housemate Scoops Dardaris to create. The result is a masterfully understated record that belies its status as a full-length debut, a thoughtful, poetic, collection all about growth and change, hope and faith, endings and beginnings, delivered by a band that's only just begun to scratch the surface of their story. BERNICE "Eau De Bonjourno" (TELEPHONE TER075 LP March 5 street date. Bernice is the experimental pop vessel of musician/songwriter Robin Dann and her longtime collaborators Thom Gill (keyboards, guitar), Philippe Melanson (e-percussion and drums), Daniel Fortin (bass) and Felicity Williams (voice). Together and apart, they have performed with Martha Wainwright, Andy Shauf, Lido Pimienta, Bahamas, KNOWER, and Beverly Glenn Copeland among many others, which led to them being referred in the press as “Toronto’s ever-evolving backing band.” In their own right, however, they have repeatedly proved to be far more than the sum of their considerable parts. Bernice’s Polaris Prize-nominated 2018 LP Puff: In the air without a shape received major international attention, described as an “analytical, self-dissecting monument to ephemerality” by The New York Times, and “a fascinating musical conversation” that blends pop and R&B influences with C86 aesthetics by Pitchfork, alongside high praise from outlets like NPR, FADER, and Stereogum, and many more. Nearly three years on from that release (for Bernice a rapid turnaround by comparison to the seven- year gap between their 2011 debut and Puff), the band return with their third full-length, Eau de Bonjourno. It marks their first collaboration with producer Shahzad Ismaily, the acclaimed multi-instrumentalist who has worked with artists as varied as Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, Elvis Costello, Iggy Pop, John Zorn, and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy. While their genre reconstruction remains distinctly Bernice, Dann’s lyrics bring a newfound focus to storytelling in the present moment, compassionately meeting ourselves where we are, and finding joy in spaces that are familiar but ever changing. CAMERA "Prosthuman" (BUREAU B) BB351CD CD CAMERA "Prosthuman" (BUREAU B) BB351LP LP February 19 street date. With the band's tenth anniversary in their viewfinder, Camera push the button on Prosthuman, their fifth studio album. With the departure of two keyboard virtuosos (Steffen Kahles and Timm Brockmann), for this release Michael Drummer (the drummer) formed at triumvirate with Tim Schroeder (synthesizer) and Alex Kozmidi (guitar). In spite of shifts in instrumentation, the ten tracks comprising the album fall into place like a progressively unfolding narrative. There is no apparent beginning to the record, no obvious ending -- rather more a sense of being right in the middle. CRUCIFIX "Dehumanization" (KUSTOMIZED) KUS04 CD/ LP February 5 street date. "Dehumanization" is the only full length album from the band Crucifix. Recorded in 1983, it is considered a classic American hardcore album and a landmark of anarcho-punk. "Dehumanization" delivers a raging critique of war, violence, displacement, and the decimation of human rights and human dignity - themes at once global in scope and also completely endemic to Reagan-era America. The intensity of this message is matched only by the intensity of the sound: a heavy minimalist construction built on brutal guitar riffs, low-end distortion, hardcore fury and teenage speed. It is an album of pure raw power, a hot blast of personal and political outrage and musical adrenaline. The album preceded much of the hardcore metal crossover of the mid-80s and played an influential but often unacknowledged role in the punk and metal subgenres that followed. DEAD SEA APES "Night Lands" (FEEDING TUBE) FTR528LP LP February 5 street date. "Hot on the heels of last year's drone masterpiece, The Free Territory , comes this hot bowl of noodles from Manchester's most elegantly wasted quintet. And while there might be apt comparisons to be made to some of the best current psych purveyors, the central thrill provided by these sounds makes me think of naught but prime Bay Area ballroom scene acid spew. The guitar lines unspool like electrical cables filled with acid punch, and remain crackling in the air for moments longer than you imagine they can remain afloat. The keys have a bit of a German overtone, but it's the same sort of one that led to the flash of Popol Vuh 's United Artist albums (which are themselves, at heart, paeans to the Bay.) The sound here is the sort of thing true believers recall as the highest moments of Man in live concert flight. Raging, raving guitars to soak your soul once and for all. Don't fear the downpour. Revel in it." -- Byron Coley , 2020 DEAD SEA APPLES & "The Sun Behind The (FEEDING TUBE) FTR587LP LP BLACK TEMPES Sun" February 5 street date. Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records present a long-awaited reissue of Dead Sea Apes & Black Tempest 's The Sun Behind The Sun . This reissue is presented in a reflective Mirri Board reflective outer sleeve. Manchester's Dead Sea Apes and Godalming's Black Tempest engage in a mind meld of galactic proportions on this; both band's first outing on vinyl. Both entities weave together seamlessly as "Grey Alphabets" recalls Goblin 's giallo soundtracks, whilst "Wilder Penfield" pulses with post-punk metal-loid Harmonia kraut vibes. Side two is given over to the 25+minute "Heliopause" -- a dubby astral meditation, where Oneida meet Tangerine Dream in an elongated komische drift. For fans of: Harmonia, Oneida, Goblin, Mogwai , Tangerine Dream. HILLS "Frid (blue vinyl)" (ROCKET LAUNCH079B LP February 19 street date. Blue vinyl repress. On ‘Frid’, Hills journey inward, via mantric repetition and hip-shaking pulsations as on the ten-minute monolith, ‘ Och Solen Sänkte Sig Röd’, yet they can also lurch into the unknown via the fuzz/wah odysseys of the aptly monikered ‘National Drone’ and the ceremonial exhortations of the closing ‘Death Will Find A Way.’ They have landed on a rich and intoxicating sound that sidesteps the cliches that often plague modern-day psych. The end result is 38 minutes that translate into a feast for seasoned crate-diggers and fresh-faced converts alike. HOOPER, BRIAN "I Won't Bend For You" (BANG!) BANGLP143 LP HENRY March 5 street date. Almost three years after the death of Brian Henry Hooper (The Beasts of Bourbon), we find this new posthumous album that he recorded at the end of his days with the collaboration of friends of the stature of: Kim Salmon (The Beasts of Bourbon, Scientists, Surrealists, Salmon, etc.) / Spencer P. Jones (The Beasts of Bourbon, The Johnnys, The Green Mist, The Butcher Shop, etc.). / Mick Harvey (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Birthday Party, The Wallbangers, etc.) among others. The album goes a step beyond his previous album "What Would I Know?" revealing a final period in the musical and personal evolution of the artist, where the darkest and most intimate melodies intersect, announcing the subsequent outcome, as well as the genius and creativity of the musical musculature of this group of unique musicians of their kind. Open folder edition limited to 500 units, edited courtesy of Ninevah Hooper. HURLEY, MICHAEL "Blue Navigator" (FEEDING TUBE) FTR539LP LP February 5 street date. Feeding Tube Records present a reissue of Michael Hurley's long-lost 1984 album, Blue Navigator. Recorded with a cast of Northern Vermont hepcats including guitarist Jon Weber (of Dan Hicks' original Hot Licks), head Rooster William Wright on guitar and mandolin, Nancy Beavan on vocals, Gordon Stone on pedal steel and various other goners. A great, very casual sounding session, revealing more layers the more you listen. For this reissue, Michael has written a set of illustrated liner notes. JENKINS, "An Overview On (BA DA BING) BING164 CD/ LP CASSANDRA Phenomenal Nature" February 19 street date. Ambient folk meets chamber pop by NYC artist who as played in the bands of Eleanor Friedberger, Craig Finn, and Lola Kirke. "An Overview on Phenomenal Nature" honours flux, detail, and moments of intimacy. Cassandra Jenkins arrived at engineer Josh Kaufman's studio with ideas rather than full songs - nevertheless, they finished the album in a week. Jenkins' voice floats amid sensuous chamber pop arrangements and raw edged drums, ferrying the listener through impressionistic portraits of friends and strangers. Her lyrics unfold magical worlds, introducing one to a cast of characters, like a local fisherman, a psychic at a birthday party, and a driving instructor of a spiritual bent. KID CONGO & THE "Swing From The Sean (IN THE RED) ITR359 LP PINK MONKEY BI DeLear EP" February 19 street date. "Swing From The Sean DeLear" is the new four song 12-inch by Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds on In The Red Records. It celebrates a dreamlike bridge between life and memory. Recorded and mixed with Jim Waters (Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Sonic Youth, etc.) at Waterworks Recording in Tucson, the track "Sean DeLear" is a tribute to the late, magical, and ubiquitous Los Angeles underground institution named Sean DeLear. This rocking song uses the metaphor of those passed on as swinging from a chandelier, a festive image everyone hopes is true! Side two of this 12-inch is a fourteen-minute psych, Chicano groove titled "He Walked In". The text is based on a visceral fever dream Kid had about his friend and Gun Club bandmate Jeffrey Lee Pierce, who passed away in 1996. KIRBY, KATY "Cool Dry Place" (KEELED KS046 LP/ KIRBY, KATY "Cool Dry Place (coke (KEELED KS046LPC1 LP bottle clear vinyl)" February 19 street date. Katy Kirby is a Texas-based songwriter and indie rock practitioner with an affinity for unspoken rules, misunderstanding and boredom. She was born, raised and homeschooled by two ex-cheerleaders in small-town Texas and started singing in church, amidst the pasteurised-pop choruses of evangelical worship. Like many bible belt late-millennials, Katy grew up on a strict diet of this dependably uncool genre and accordingly, "Cool Dry Place" finds her dismantling it. Instead of eradicating the pop sensibilities of her past, she warps them, lacing sugary hooks with sneaky rage, twisting affectionate tones into matter-of-fact reproach, and planting seemingly serene melodies with sonic jabs. These emotional dioramas are moderated by the angular storytelling that unites Gillian Welch and Phoebe Bridgers, a favour for the conventions of short fiction over confession. KNOXVILLE GIRLS "In A Ripped Dress" (BANG!) BANGLP139 LP March 5 street date. Finally seeing the light of day here we have an unreleased album recorded in NYC in 1999 by this super band: Jerry Teel – vocals, guitar (The Chrome Cranks, Honeymoon Killers, Boss Hog, Big City Stompers…) Kid Congo Powers – vocals, guitar (The Gun Club, The Cramps, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Butcher Shop…) Jack Martin – guitar (Five Dollar Priest…) Barry London – organ, piano, harp Bob Bert – drums (The Chrome Cranks, Five Dollar Priest, Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore, Lydia Lunch…) Recorded at legendary NY studio Funhouse, these recordings have remained unheard so far (except the Tom Waits cover) and some of the tracks were afterwards rerecorded for their last album. But here we have the original album as it was conceived with their pristine swamp, country, blues and New York sound. An absolute must for fans of The Gun Club, The Beasts of Bourbon, etc. Limited edition of 500 copies. LEARY, PAUL "Born Stupid (red vinyl)" (SHIMMY DISC) SHIMMY2005LP LP February 12 street date. First solo LP in 30 years from Paul Leary of Butthole Surfers, and the first pressing on "gratuitous red" vinyl, limited to 1000 copies. PERDOMO, FERNANDO "TRGTR" (FORWARD FMR034 CD February 5 street date. "TRGTR" is the new album by critically acclaimed guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Fernando Perdomo of Dave Kerzner Band, The New Empire, and Jakob Dylan's Echo in the Canyon band. "TRGTR" is the first all instrumental tribute album to the music of Todd Rundgren. This is Fernando's second all instrumental tribute album following 2019's critically acclaimed "The Crimson Guitar" tribute to King Crimson. The 16 songs represent every era of Todd's 50 plus year career from The Nazz to a song off his forthcoming album "Space Force". The record is not only a tribute to Todd's guitar playing and song writing - many steps were taken to recreate Todd's production techniques and signature sounds. SLEEP PARTY "Sleep Party People (10th (JOYFUL NOISE) JNR241LPC1 LP anniversary edition-pale go" February 19 street date. After several years of writing music in bands, Danish multi-instrumentalist Brian Batz began experimenting at home with digitally altered piano and voice. In 2008, he began uploading eerie and introspective songs as Sleep Party People, with a home-recorded, eponymous debut album of whispery, otherworldly post-rock released in 2010. 10 years on, Joyful Noise is honored to commemorate this truly special album with an anniversary reissue, including eight bonus tracks and reimagined cover artwork. SMITH & BURROWS "Only Smith & Burrows (PIAS AMERICA) PIASR5040CDX CD Is Good Enough" SMITH & BURROWS "Only Smith & Burrows (PIAS AMERICA) PIASR5040LP LP Is Good Enough" February 5 street date. Editors frontman and multi-instrumentalist Tom Smith and the similarly multi-facetted musician and songwriter Andy Burrows release their second full length collaboration as Smith & Burrows. Celebrated artists in their own right, and friends for the past fifteen years, the pair have finally managed to coordinate diaries. Almost a decade on from their 2011 debut, "Funny Looking Angels", they have emerged with "Only Smith & Burrows Is Good Enough". The album is a collaborative writing experience and the pair share vocal duties across its tracks from the propulsive power-pop of "All The Best Moves" to the calypso-tinged virtuosity of "Buccaneer Rum Jum" and the engaging traces of OMD amidst "Bottle Tops." The record is on occasion tongue-in- cheek, while at other times depicts the advancing of age and family life, changed priorities, and all that it entails. STRAWBS "Settlement" (ANTENNA) EANTCD1087 CD STRAWBS "Settlement (180g)" (ANTENNA) EANTLP1087 LP February 26 street date. "Settlement" is the latest album recorded by Strawbs, more than 50 years on from the band's first major label release. The album comes at a time of political and social upheaval, which the lyrics and melodies of the songs reflect. The album is produced by Blue Weaver, who played with Strawbs and Bee Gees in their 1970s heydays. The recording was coordinated from Blue's studio in Germany, where he now lives. Strawbs are David Cousins, Dave Lambert, Chas Cronk, Tony Fernandez and Dave Bainbridge. Special guests on the album are John Ford, another former member of Strawbs, Cathryn Craig, with her lovely voice and unmistakable Southern lilt, and bass player Schalk Joubert. The album will be available both on CD and 180 gram vinyl TIGERS JAW "I Won't Care How You (HOPELESS) HR28951 LP Remember Me (coke bottle green)" TIGERS JAW "I Won't Care How You (HOPELESS) HR28952 CD Remember Me" March 5 street date. On March 5th, Philly based indie rock band Tigers Jaw will be releasing their new album and Hopeless debut I Won't Care How You Remember Me. Described by the member's moms as Saves The Day meets Fleetwood Mac, Tigers Jaw has been carving out their own legacy in the indie, alternative, and emo-punk genres since 2006. The band's last two albums, 2014's Charmer and 2017's Spin, were their most successful to date, receiving critical acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork and Stereogum, as well as charting at #3 on the US vinyl charts and #11 on the current rock and alternative album charts. VIRGINIA WING "private LIFE" (FIRE) FIRECD599 CD VIRGINIA WING "private LIFE" (FIRE) FIRELP599 LP February 19 street date. "private LIFE" comes as the result of Virginia Wing living through, and with, huge personal emotional and mental traumas. It is a document of how the very process of music creation in a group can be of huge therapeutic benefit to people. The three members of Virginia Wing have explored the depths of their creative and artistic inspirations within performance, production and composition, and have made a candid and brash pop record that speaks clearly about hope, desperation, impulse, addiction, urge and shame. More tumultuous than its predecessor, "private LIFE" knocks hard. The icy facade of Merida Richards' words are still front and centre, but are contrasted by dense, multilayered improvisations, vying for attention throughout the record. WILLIAMS, A.A. "Songs From Isolation" (BELLA UNION) BELLA114CD CD WILLIAMS, A.A. "Songs From Isolation (BELLA UNION) BELLA114V LP (black and white splatter)" February 12 street date.

Williams took songs suggested by fans and created a series of videos presenting the tracks with stripped-down instrumentation, recorded and filmed from her home in North London. The album represents a continuation of the project into a full collection of recordings and features cover versions of The Cure, Pixies, Deftones, Nick Cave, Gordon Lightfoot, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails and more.

Jalamanta was a life changing record for me. Its the record that launched my journey as Brant Bjork. Listening to the tapes 20 years later was amazing. Tony Mason and myself were transported back to that moment in time.Jalamanta was a first for both Tony and myself. My first record as a solo artist and his first record as an engineer. We didnt think twice about re-mixing it. With our combined experience over the years, we knew we could take Jalamanta to the place we always wanted it to go. And we did, dig it. “BB” Jalamanta has been re- mixed by Tony Mason, with a freshly baked re-master by John McBain at JPM Mastering, San Fransisco. Cover photo by Sam Grant.

DARKNESS "Over And Out" (MASSACRE) MASD1165 CD DARKNESS "Over And Out" (MASSACRE) MASL1165 LP January 15 street date. "Over And Out" marks a special release for Darkenss, as it combines old songs with new material, unites the good old days with what may come next; true to the motto: something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue: There are 7 songs on the album; 7 songs that symbolize what Darkness stood for in the past and what the band will look like in the future. 7 songs that cast their shadows on the upcoming 7th album. Two already known songs from the 80s are presented in a new musical shape. A track from the band's first album comes as an unplugged version. The live version of another song features the brutal and overwhelming live performance of the thrash veterans. Furthermore, Darkness recorded a cover version to pay tribute to the heavy metal of the good old days. DOWNES BRAIDE "Halcyon Hymns (DBA) DBACDVD005 CD ASSOCIATION (CD+DVD)" February 5 street date. Fourth studio album from the well-known writing partnership that is Geoff Downes and Chris Braide. The songs on "Halcyon Hymns" reflect a bucolic halcyon summer. The artwork has been painted by the legendary Roger Dean, who also creates for Yes and Asia, to name but a few. The painting sessions are included on the DVD, which also includes three lyric music videos. FURIOUS TRAUMA "Decade At War" (MASSACRE) MAS1156 CD January 15 street date. Denmark's Furious Trauma are back to thrash - faster, heavier, louder than ever before! "Decade At War" offers uncompromising, pumping, pure, thrashing tracks with songs honoring fallen Danish soldiers as well as songs that deal with a decade at war and touch topics like religious fanaticism and heavy metal. World-renowned producer Tue Madsen (Sick Of It All, Meshuggah, The Haunted, Behemoth etc.) took care of the album's mixing and mastering, and made sure that the album hits hard! GRAVESEND "Methods Of Human (20 BUCK SPIN) SPIN142 LP/ CD Disposal" GRAVESEND "Methods Of Human (20 BUCK SPIN) SPIN142X LP Disposal (coloured vinyl)" February 19 street date. NYC's Gravesend arise with ill intent, like a foul emanation from the aging, sewage-filled rot slowly winding its way beneath the city's vast concrete walls and pavement pathways. A New York of discarded needles, noxious fumes, scavenging rats, broken bottles and cracked minds. An aural manifesto of urban blight and disgust, "Methods Of Human Disposal" works like a lone killer stalking the streets, internally seething with rage, preparing to cast off the last remnants of restraint. Bear witness to savage black/death metal with a hellish grindcore fixation, searing warped speeds, and the slowly swelling carnage of a derailed subway pile-up. JADED HEART "Stand Your Ground (digi)” (MASSACRE) MASD1135 CD JADED HEART "Stand Your Ground" (MASSACRE) MASL1135 LP January 15 street date. Jaded Heart are back with another melodic metal album they are extremely proud of! But wait, there's more: "Stand Your Ground" is the first Jaded Heart album ever without keyboards. The band had been discussing the idea to leave out keyboards in their songs for a while now and decided that this move gives them a sound that will make a difference in their approach. Jaded Heart has always been a melodic band that writes songs with huge sing-along choruses - and this album offers many of those! For the first time in years, the entire band got together and wrote 2 songs as a complete unit in a rehearsal room in Cologne. Because the band lives in different countries this was not an easy task as you can imagine. KALIDIA "Lies' Device (2021 version) (INNER WOUND) IW83090 CD February 5 street date. Re-recorded version of the Kalidia debut album "Lies' Device", originally released independently in 2014. The original version of "Lies' Device" has been sold out since the release of the second Kalidia album "The Frozen Throne" in 2018, an album that brought the band to another level. Since the release of "The Frozen Throne", it passed 2 million streams on Spotify and 5 million views on YouTube. The album was mixed and mastered by Paolo Campitelli and the new artwork was created by Jan Yrlund (Battle Beast, Apocalyptica, Delain).

Komatsu's powers of mass construction resurrected a rare desert flower in their fourth album “Rose of Jericho”. Light meets heavy and desolation meets beauty in the 9 powerful songs that make up this album. “Rose of Jericho” combines a lyrical depth that resonates the current (political) rabbit holes with dark, groovy, warm riffs supporting rugged vocals. The sound of the album is a real mixture between Stoner and Metal, but with melodic and choral vocal lines. Change of tempo and rhythm, make the listener glue to the speakers until the last note of the album. Komatsu is Mo Truijens (vocals/guitar), Mathijs Bodt (guitar), Martijn Mansvelders (bass) and Jos Roosen (drums). “Rose of Jericho” is recorded and mixed at Studio Iglesias, Eindhoven by Peter van Elderen (Peter Pan Speedrock) and mastered by Pieter Kloos at the Void Studio, Eindhoven. “Rose of Jericho” will burn the ears of the beholder. SCHENKER, MICHAEL "Ride On My Way (clear)” (METAL 1149901 LP February 5 street date. "Ride On My Way" features classic rock guitar-driven songs that highlight Michael Schenker's distinctive and dynamic guitar playing. Musically and lyrically, this best of longplayer shows a re- energised guitarist at the top of his game, surrounded by some of the best musicians in rock, featuring Pete Way (ex-UFO), Chris Slade (ex-AC/DC) and Herman Rarebell (ex-Scorpions). A well balanced LP which combines many years of Michael Schenker's emotions in one. Pressed on clear wax! STRAIGHT SHOOTER "My Time - Your Time" (SKY SKY034 LP Available now. Limited to 1000 copies. 1980 release from the German hard rock band. As connoisseurs know, the release of the second album is a very tricky moment in a carreer of a band. Straight Shooter indeed passed this with flying colours! In addition to the ongoing energy of the "Push-Rock," they made very small musical changes and added nuances of new sounds. "My Time - Your Time" became a very special legendary rock classic and sounds today as fresh as it did more than 30 years ago. SUFFERING HOUR "The Cyclic Reckoning" (PROFOUND PFL253 LP/ CD February 19 street date. Suffering Hour are a blackened death metal band from Forest Lake, Minnesota. Their unique sound garnered high acclaim with their 2017 debut record "In Passing Ascension", a guitar-driven slab of nihilistic savagery. This sound was then further explored on their 2019 EP "Dwell", a single 18 minute track proving their unrelenting songwriting prowess. At 45 minutes in length spanning 5 songs, their new album "The Cyclic Reckoning" showcases the band firing on all cylinders. The music on this album is more representative of Suffering Hour as a whole than it ever was on past material, with every member making their presence more known than ever. This record also features the band sacrificing some of their technicality and chaos in favour of more atmospheric passages, as the band envisioned this record to be an unhindered display of negative emotion, seething or sombre. Based around themes of awakening, obsessions, and mental anguish, this is a natural continuation of everything that encompasses the band's ideas on life, death and beyond. VOODOO CIRCLE "Locked & Loaded (indie (AFM) AFM7711 LP exclusive-gold vinyl)" VOODOO CIRCLE "Locked & Loaded (indie (AFM) AFM77111 LP exclusive-purple vinyl)" VOODOO CIRCLE "Locked & Loaded (digi)" (AFM) AFMD7719 CD January 15 street date. The sixth album from the German Hard-Rock heroes, gathered by Alexander Beyrott, back with the original line-up with David Readman on vocals, mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen! For this release, band boss, guitarist and main songwriter Alex Beyrodt gathered singer David Readman (Pink Cream 69), bass player Mat Sinner (Primal Fear, Sinner) and drummer Markus Kullman (Glenn Hughes, among others), all of them excellent instrumentalists. The band celebrates a vigorous, deeply melodic hybrid of hard rock and melodic metal, equipped with specific quotes and some bluesy elements, with cleverly interspersed cross-references to some of their own role models.

MISUNDERSTOOD "Children Of The Sun (GRAPEFRUIT) CRSEG086D CD (2CD): The Complete Recordings 1" February 26 street date. The Misunderstood must rank as one of the greatest cult bands of the 60s psychedelia era. The band began forging their innovative sound in Riverside, California, where they were discovered by DJ John Peel (then working in the US as John Ravenscroft). Having cut a few recordings locally, the band relocated to the UK on Peel's recommendation. In London, The Misunderstood signed to Fontana Records to cut what are considered six landmark tracks. In 1982, Cherry Red released the landmark compilation LP, "Before The Dream Faded", which not only unveiled two further Fontana recordings, but also collated seven archive tracks from the band's Riverside days. Since then, additional recordings have surfaced on various retrospectives. "Children Of The Sun" finally assembles The Misunderstood's entire known output from 1965-1966 onto one package, suitably re- mastered by Alec Palao. With incisive sleeve-notes from Mike Stax (Ugly Things) and involvement with various original band members, and a handsome design from Andy Morten (Shindig!), this is truly the definitive document of a legendary underground band, assembled by those who love their music.

MAPSTATION "My Frequencies, When We” (BUREAU B) BB367CD CD MAPSTATION "My Frequencies, When We” (BUREAU B) BB367LP LP February 26 street date. My Frequencies, When We is the eighth Mapstation album Stefan Schneider has released since 2000. Recorded between March and August of 2020 in Corona-induced isolation, there is a sonic homogeneity to My Frequencies, When We. A minimal-kraut-elektronik that recalls Conrad Schnitzler, Cluster, or Neu!, but also Jon Hassell, Marja Ahti or DJ Residue. PIERCE WITH ARROW "Shatter (black vinyl)" (DAIS) DAIS154 LP PIERCE WITH ARROW "Shatter (silver vinyl)" (DAIS) DAIS154LPC1 LP February 19 street date. The collaborative debut of American minimal techno pioneer Troy Pierce and Colombian audiovisual artist Natalia Escobar aka Poison Arrow was conceived in reverse: first they created a collection of shadowy surrealist videos, then wrote music inspired by them. This inverted process proved remarkably fruitful. "Shatter" is a simmering, slow-burn noir odyssey inspired by the Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus, traversing subtle shades of sleepwalker dub, metallic lament, broken beats, and erotic negative space. Considering their shared background trafficking in darkened dance floor modes, what's most striking about Pierce with Arrow's partnership is its rhythmic restraint. The album's 10 tracks seethe and shudder between glamour and gloom, with only occasional dread-steeped metronomes mapping the malaise to a grid. SCHRODER, ROBERT "Harmonic Ascendant (180g)” (RACKET) RRK15020 LP Available now. Limited to 1000 copies. Robert Schroeder was one of Klaus Schulze's first disciples to record on the master's own Innovative Communications label, and "Harmonic Ascendant" remains one of the two or three best albums I.C. ever released. Not content however to be merely a copyist, Schroeder forged his own identity as a composer of romantic, richly-textured electronic music that owed as much to Chopin as it did to Schulze. The architectonic structure of the individual movements that make up the title track is immaculately conceived as an accumulation of suites, moving from an acoustic guitar/ piano duet to a guitar/cello/string synthesizer trio, and so on. The entire piece almost resembles the work of a chamber ensemble, with Schroeder's wonderfully impressionistic acoustic guitar and synthesizers providing a velvety cushion for the solo cello of Wolfgang Tieopold. Schizophrenic at times, though thoroughly absorbing, "Harmonic Ascendant" possesses all the qualities of naivete and precocity that one would expect from a talented devotee of the innocent experimentation that the synthesizer often engenders. STROM, PAULINE ANNA "Angel Tears In Sunlight" (RVNG INTL.) RVNGNL069 CD/ LP STROM, PAULINE ANNA "Angel Tears In Sunlight (RVNG INTL.) RVNGNL069LPC2 LP (coloured vinyl)" February 19 street date. "Angel Tears in Sunlight" is Pauline Anna Strom's first album in over thirty years; an assemblage of music that refracts the expansiveness, and minutiae, of imagined realms while embracing the kaleidoscopic echoes of our distant epochs. Following the 2017 release of "Trans-Millenia Music", an anthology revitalizing the most evocative parts of Strom's catalog, the Bay Area visionary sensed the universe telling her to return to music. As with her work in the 80s, "Angel Tears in Sunlight" was composed and recorded in the same San Francisco apartment where Strom has lived for almost four decades in synthesis with her machines and "dinosaurs". Populated by a compact array of modern instruments that streamline the sound of her analog past and her beloved iguanas, the terrarium of her home forms an intimate yet limitless ecosystem that defies the constraints of the outside world. Shaped by circadian contours, "Angel Tears in Sunlight" is a celestial observatory of earthborn phonic mosaics. Strom uncovers a symbiosis between hardware frequencies and apparitions of nature in the record's arena of organic tones, emulating the melodic pulses of primeval terrain. V/A "Club Traxx Deluxe 2021" (BLUE LINE) 1149072 CD February 5 street date. "Club Traxx Deluxe 2021" features the very best of house, deep beats, and dance - the cream of the crop of current and recent anthems. Artists on the album are a who's who of the dance world including artists, mixes, and tracks from David Guetta, Calvin Harris and many more. This is the perfect compilation for all dance music lovers.

BLAKESLEE, GUY "Postcards From The Edge” (ENTRANCE) ENTR002CD CD BLAKESLEE, GUY "Postcards From The Edge” (ENTRANCE) ENTR002LP LP February 12 street date. Perhaps best known as the upside-down, guitar-wielding frontman of psych-legends The Entrance Band, and solo albums released under the Entrance moniker, notably 2004's country blues epic "Wandering Stranger" (Fat Possum), 2006's self-released cult classic, "Prayer of Death", and most recently 2017's "Book of Changes", Guy Blakeslee has typically used his own name to release his most experimental and confounding records. "Postcards From The Edge" is no exception. Recorded in New Orleans at the house studio of Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and featuring appearances from singers Lael Neale, Hale May, Rachel Fannan, and drummer Derek James of The Entrance Band, "Postcards From The Edge" is electrified by the spirit of sonic experimentation, and the fervent desire to chart a map into unknown territory. Across the record's seven tracks, Blakeslee's questing lyrics teem with stormy emotion, his plaintive voice finding succour in richly-textured melodies that soar over lushly-produced soundscapes, always on the verge of collapse. CHRIS & CARLA "Velvet Fog: The Studio (GLITTERHOUS GRBOX1026LP BOX Recordings (6LP+3CD boxset)" February 19 street date.

All three LPs come in a gatefold sleeve and the whole set is rounded by a LP size, 16-page brochure including tons of unreleased pictures and extensive liner-notes plus rare bonus tracks. HERSELF "Rigel Playground (DIRTER DPROMLP149 LP (transparent red vinyl)" February 5 street date. Herself is the moniker of multi-instrumentalist Gioele Valenti, also known as JuJu in more recent years (Fuzz Club) or as part of the psych project Lay Llamas. Herself's work was described by critics as the harmonious meeting between Sparklehorse, Gravenhurst and Will Oldham. Valenti's songwriting takes inspiration from low-fidelity apocalyptic folk, crooning and pop; boasting a rather extensive discography. Well rooted in tradition, his music often ventures in the realms of subtle experimentation. His new album "Rigel Playground" prepares the listener for a journey through cosmic folk, in which traditional Brit Pop flirts with an alt vein, as if the Beatles and Sparklehorse would meet the torments of Nick Drake and the intimacy of a Mike Scott. JACK'S MANNEQUIN "Everything In Transit (180g)” (MUSIC ON MOVLP2742 LP February 19 street date. Jack's Mannequin is the name of a side project headed by Andrew McMahon, the lead singer of Something Corporate. It is a concept album centred around McMahon's return to California and the demise of a long-standing relationship. McMahon wrote the material during a dark period of self-exploration in his life impacted by Something Corporate's hiatus and the ending of a long relationship with Kelly Hansch caused in part by his career pursuit. It charted at number 37 on the Billboard 200 and sold over 250.000 copies. PALE FOUNTAINS "Longshot For Your Love" (MARINA) MA085LP LP February 5 street date.

A truly atmospheric black metal record, which evocative nature is matched by its flawless lo-fi production of ghostly guitars, ethereal synths and classic 90s aesthetics. Evilfeast's lone multi-instrumentalist, GrimSpirit, extended his work with this 5-track long, grand third album and with over two decades worth of cultivated underground black metal under his belt, it is easy to see why Evilfeast belongs alongside Burzum, Paysage d'Hiver and Midnight Odyssey.

By the Spirits, Osi and the Jupiter, Mosaic and Fellwarden therefore contribute four distinct pieces each that highlight a different expression of their art. All four approach their craft here to reinterpret their sound in a way that highlights that these artistic projects truly are about sincere expression rather than simply rehashing the same atmospheres time and again. These are songs that speak of yearning and of wandering - an embodiment of the truly meaningful aspects of existence that resonate within the very core of what makes us human.

JOHNSON, JEREMIAH/ "Blues Caravan 2020 (RUF RUF1286 CD WHITNEY SHAY (CD+DVD)" January 29 street date. Ruf Records' Blues Caravan is unstoppable. Fifteen years after Europe's most respected label put on its first showcase tour, the founding concept is instantly familiar to blues fans: every night, on club stages across the US and Europe, three rising talents will burn down the house and kick the blues into the modern age. But there's a twist. With the lineup chosen each year from the cream of the Ruf roster, every Caravan has a fresh vibe, a fizzing chemistry and plenty of flying sparks. And with three wildly different artists running the gamut of styles in 2020, all bets could have been off. Luckily before the lockdown, Ruf recorded the show on February 18, 2020 at the Hirsch in Nuernberg (Germany). So here we go! Your stars of 2020, live on CD and DVD. Stay home and enjoy a great live music concert from your couch. VOLT, GHALIA "One Woman Band" (RUF RUF1288 CD January 29 street date. In March 2020, as Covid blew across the planet, the shutters came down on live venues and recording studios, and the music scene fell suddenly silent, Ghalia Volt faced the same dilemma as every other artist. What now? The answer was "One Woman Band". For Volt, the rebirth as a solo performer wasn't a decision made lightly. Since the early days, she's been a musician who thrives on the buzz of the hook-up, surrounding herself with the best players and soaking up their vibe. With the breakout success of 2019's "Mississippi Blend" - a record that broke into the Top 3 of the Billboard Blues Chart on three separate occasions - it seemed the world was Volt's for the taking, her seven-year transformation from Brussels busker to the adopted daughter of American roots gathering pace. Now, with "One Woman Band", the journey takes a thrilling left-turn. If her apprenticeship on the mean streets taught Volt anything, it's that she already had everything she needed to make magic - and in March, she reconnected with that one-woman philosophy.

ALESSANDRONI, "Alessandro Alessandroni (SONOR MUSIC SME74 LP ALESSANDRO E Il Suo Complesso" February 12 street date. Sonor Music Editions is happy to announce the reissue of another holy grail by maestro Alessandro Alessandroni. The first legendary Farfalla release, "Alessandro Alessandroni E Il Suo Complesso" originally released in a few hundred copies on the cult Sermi imprint in February 1968. The seminal debut album realized by the legendary Italian maestro, featuring bewitching scat vocals by his wife Giulia De Mutiis (aka Kema), that truly started the Italian Library production golden era that would culminate in mid ‘1980s. A true landmark of the genre and an Italian discography jewel that spaces among the best Jazz, Bossa Nova and Lounge music; undoubtedly a desirable item of world’s record collecting field. Obsessive Jazz suites, enchanting scats over mind- blowing Bossa tunes, bouncy break-beats drums, groovy Pop and refined loungy atmospheres over some soft Psichedelia arrangements. An essential Italian Library masterpiece. Edition of 750 copies MORRICONE, ENNIO "La Classe Operaia Va In (GOODFELLAS) GFOST001LP LP Paradiso (LP+poster)" January 29 street date. Back in print ! Goodfellas present a reissue of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack for La Classe Operaia Va In Paradiso, originally released in 1971. La Classe Operaia Va in Paradiso was another strike for maestro Ennio Morricone, one of the most in-demand composers and arrangers of the time. Avant-garde and slo- funk - with scary fuzz and wah-wah guitars - collide on the track "Metamorfosi" and before you know it, you are in the same vertigo generated by Gruppo D'improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza. Classical and lush orchestrations are found, while pounding rhythms are the main course for the original theme: a violin solo offers a dramatic view of the main score just before an aggressive guitar break enters the psych-o-rama. The movie directed by Elio Petri was a dramatic take on the main social issue of the early '70s, dealing with the heavy conditions of the working class. This is one of the most sought-after soundtracks of Morricone's experimental side, evident by the original tribute set by John Zorn for The Big Gundown in 1986 ("Metamorfosi" was then performed by a who's who cast of stars featuring Vernon Reid, Bob James and Diamanda Galas). MORRICONE, ENNIO "Passion (2LP-180g/pink (MUSIC ON MOVATM261C LP and purple marbled vinyl)" February 5 street date. "Passion" is the fifth and final part of a series of five double vinyl releases that bring together some of Ennio Morricone's greatest soundtrack music. Each collection centres on a different movie genre; together they allow the listener to rediscover the unmatched genius of the greatest movie composer of all time. "Passion" once again reminds us that everything in Italian life is approached with gusto, energy and passion. Limited edition of 3000 individually numbered copies on pink and purple marbled vinyl. The package includes a 4-page insert with liner notes written by Claudio Fuiano. The gatefold sleeve contains a diamond glitter foil spot varnish on the outside and images of iconic movie posters on the inside. MORRICONE, ENNIO "I Due Evasi Di Sing Sing” (SONOR MUSIC SME73 LP February 12 street date. Sonor Music Editions proudly announces the first commercial release on vinyl (shortly followed by a CD edition) of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to the film "I DUE EVASI DI SING SING" from 1964, directed by the legendary Lucio Fulci and starring the famed Italian comedy characters Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia. A bit away from what would have been his 92° birthday, the label presents a pseudo unreleased gem by the greatest all-time composer at the beginning of his career. This stunning recovery was possible thanks to the work of the producer Lorenzo Fabrizi (head of Sonor Music Editions) and the collaboration of Claudio Fuiano and Daniel Winkler, two significant connoisseurs in the field and maestro Morricone's discography. The album was originally released on an impossible-to-find promo-only library release in the late '60s with different titles, due to that the score remained concealed until now. With the recoup of the original MONO tapes Sonor was able to work with the original soundtrack sequence adding two bonus tracks from the original sessions. The music enhances the stories of two sloppy thiefs (Franchi and Ingrassia) in the styles of orchestral Jazz and Bossa Nova, with more sweet and cheerful themes built around the bewitching character of Gloria Paul. SOUNDTRACK "Hair (original Broadway (MUSIC ON MOVATM289C LP cast) (2LP-180g/coloured vin" February 5 street date. For the first time ever, the complete recording of 1968's "Hair" is now available on a deluxe and expanded 2LP set.

The package contains a 8-page booklet with pictures and liner notes. TEVIS, PETER / ENNIO "Pastures Of Plenty" (TRUNK) TTT015EP 7" MORRICONE January 15 street date. Originally written and released by Woody Guthrie in 1947, this cover version of "Pastures Of Plenty" by Pete Tevis -- a Californian folk singer living in Rome in 1962 -- was arranged by Ennio Morricone . A few years later, Sergio Leone wanted Morricone to score his up and coming western called A Fistful Of Dollars (1964). Legend has it, Morricone wrote some music, Leone hated it. Morricone then played him this old single. Leone wanted this music but with a new melody over the top. The rest is film music history. This is the first ever repress of this hugely important single since 1962. Original copies are mythical to say the least. First pressing since 1962. Import Titles >> ELECTRONIC >>

CLAP! CLAP! "Liquid Portraits (2LP- (BLACK ACRE) ACRELP015COL LP coloured vinyl)" February 5 street date. Italian producer Clap! Clap!'s third album once again deploys his inimitable technique in fine style, however with new eyes as this new project signifies a definite shift in his work having spent the last few years learning the art of mixing which has lead to some breakthroughs: Entitled ‘Liquid Portraits’, the album - as the name suggests - is a collection of sonic paintings, an attempt at capturing furtive, subconscious memories through sound. The tracks reference trips Cristiano Crisci took and people he met - from southern Italy to Hokkaido via the Kif Mountains of Morocco - as well as more abstract ideas of loss, calmness, and childhood. Having been approached by Paul Simon to work on his 2016 album ‘Stranger To Stranger’ after Simon discovered ‘Tayi Bebba’ through his son, Clap! Clap! is no stranger to collaborations and this album features a small cast of talents, such as south Italy percussionist Domenico Candellori (‘Southern Dub’), Belgian artist Martha Da’ro (‘Moving METRONOMY "Mandibules (colored (ED BANGER) BEC5676601 12"EP etched 12")" February 19 street date.

VAINIO, MIKA "Live At Berlin Atonal (BERLIN ATONAL007LP LP (2LP)" February 19 street date. Berlin Atonal announce the release of Mika Vainio's live performance at the 2016 edition of the festival. Deep, throbbing analog laments emanate from the outset reaching far into the furthest fissures of Kraftwerk's main hall, a chasmic exercise in arching minimalism. Motifs are revisited and reiterated, calmly rendering confrontational and extreme mechanisms. Feedback blasts buzz over and destroy passages, punctuated by sparse rhythm. Includes photography by Mika Vainio on sleeve and printed inner sleeves; Edition of 400. VALESE, SAELE "IVIC" (NOTON) NPLUS001CD CD VALESE, SAELE "IVIC (2LP)" (NOTON) NPLUS001LP LP February 19 street date. NOTON signs Italian-born, Berlin-based sound-artist and producer Saele Valese. In IVIC, his debut album, Saele Valese, distills hauntological noise, droning tonal experiments, and minimalist rhythms into a series of electro-acoustic-wave ventures written over five years.IVIC's 11 tracks were mixed and recorded live on DAT cassettes and through DAW experimentation, without the possibility to revise the final recordings. The music possesses a dilated, shuffling rhythmic base, and still moments of gloomy sonics alternating with more ravenous upheavals of power electronics.

BYRDS "Live In Amsterdam" (1960'S RANDB68LP LP February 12 street date. The version of the Byrds that played Amsterdam's prestigious Concertgebouw in July 1970 was very different to previous incarnations. The Skip Battin/Gene Parsons rhythm section was tight and allowed the guitars of Roger McGunn and Clarence White room to roam, most noticeably on an extended "Eight Miles High". Thoroughly road-hardened, the band played material from throughout their entire career and threw in some previously unreleased cover versions as well. Radio VPRO broadcast the gig. The twelve tracks presented here have been chosen to complement the live portion of the "Untitled" LP. Full credits and sleeve notes are provided. FACES "BBC1 Live 1970" (1960'S RANDB71LP LP February 12 street date. The early years of The Faces were characterised by uproarious onstage performances and two disappointing studio albums that failed to capture their onstage excitement. We are fortunate that they were regular visitors to the BBC where their regular appearances on TV and radio proved just how good they were. The tracks here are taken from three high quality 1970 radio broadcasts. Nine tracks give the flavour of a Faces gig - just loose enough to be exciting and versatile enough to include Northern Soul, R&B, acoustic folk songs and a Bob Dylan cover. Full credits and sleeve notes included. FLEETWOOD MAC "BBC Sunday Concert (1960'S RANDB69LP LP April 9th 1970" February 12 street date. Listening to these nine tracks, it is hard to believe that this version of Fleetwood Mac had only a few weeks left to run. An acid-damaged Peter Green would leave six weeks after this gig and they would never sound this good again. This high quality BBC recording includes contemporary hits such as "The Green Manalishi" and "Rattlesnake Shake" as well as album tracks featuring the melodic skills of Danny Kirwan and some unreleased rockers from Jeremy Spencer. Full sleeve notes and credits included. GENESIS "The Lost Radio (MIW) MIW007 LP Recordings (2LP)" February 19 street date. Formed by ex-Charterhouse pupils Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Peter Gabriel and Anthony Phillips, Genesis were named by fellow former pupil, the now shamed music impresario and former television presenter, Jonathan King, who arranged for them to record several unsuccessful singles and their debut album "From Genesis to Revelation" in 1968. After splitting with King, the group began to tour professionally, signed with Charisma Records and recorded "Trespass" (1970) in the progressive rock style, as well as a spectacular radio session for the BBC's Nightride programme. Following the departure of Phillips, Genesis recruited Phil Collins and Steve Hackett and recorded "Nursery Cryme" (1971). It was this classic line-up that recorded a number of further sessions for Radio One's Sounds Of The Seventies show in 1971 and 1972. This record features the full live recordings made for radio broadcast, when Genesis were at their early, but already hugely original and musically brilliant finest. METALLICA "Seattle '89 Vol. 2 (2LP)" (DETONATE) DET003 LP METALLICA "Seattle '89 Vol. 2 (2LP- (DETONATE) DET003LTD LP red vinyl)" February 12 street date. Part two now available! Metallica's 1988 album "And Justice For All" still remains the band's biggest-seller. Having to date shifted eight million copies in the U.S. alone, the record also earned the thrash metal heroes their debut Grammy award. To capitalise on the LP's success, in the wake of its release the band embarked on the mammoth Damaged Justice tour, playing a staggering 219 shows across five continents from 11th September 1988 to 8th October 1989. Many of the performances given during this jaunt remain among the finest Metallica shows ever performed. Notably, their appearance at The Seattle Center Coliseum on 30th August 1989, a show recorded for live FM broadcast across the U.S., is now available in exceptional audio quality on this two instalment vinyl set. YOUNG, NEIL & "Santa Monica Civic (1960'S RANDB70LP LP CRAZY HORSE 1970" February 19 street date. The power and ferocity of the original Crazy Horse was only hinted at by their studio recordings. They really came into their own on stage, as shown by the six electric tracks on this fine new release. Originally an FM broadcast from Radio KUSC, this recording is prized by Neil Young fans as it also includes his six-song acoustic set, comprising early solo material and songs written for Buffalo Springfield. The 1970 tour remains an artistic high spot in Neil Young's long and varied career and this release shows why. Full credits and sleeve notes included.
