CIRCUIT RIDER - CIRCUIT RIDER
Authorized exact replica reissue of this private press LP from approx 1980 or so. Recorded in Norwalk, CT; edition of 800 copies. "...projects visions of a biker high on PCP driving over a cliff at 100 mph, laughing and screaming all the way." -- Patrick Lundborg, The Acid Archives "This is the ultimate burnout biker-psych masterpiece. Finally repressed directly from tapes to flawlessly restore the cigarette burns, Harley fumes, and cocaine hangovers of the original ride. This is a 40 minute recipe for complete mental breakdown. Included on the Acid Archives' list of Top Ten LPs Most Likely To Be Owned By A Serial Killer. Circuit Rider is lost on the same journey as Kenneth Higney, Nicodemus & Matchez, YaHoWa, Boa, Heitkotter, Dave Lamb & Gye Whiz, Raven, Fraction, and The Doors' L.A. Woman."

ORESUND SPACE COLLECTIVE - DEAD MAN IN SPACE
This is the 6th release by the completely improvised space rock band from the Oresund region in Scandinavia. The band is made up of members from Copenhagen, Denmark and the Malmo , Sweden area. The music on this LP was recorded at the Black Tornado Studios (Copenhagen) in October 2008. The music on this LP follows in the footsteps of our previous work but is a bit more like our earlier material but also we enter into the realm of jazz space rock with the track Space Jazz Jam 2.2, which features Anders on Saxophone. High Pilots is taken from the last jam of the studio session and is a very dynamic and moody piece of music. The rest of the jam will be released in the future on CD. A totally improvised spoken word piece by Dr. Space ends the LP. If the record sells well, we expect to release more material on vinyl format by the Oresund Space Collecive.

BEAUTIFUL LOSERS - NOBODY KNOWS THE HEAVEN
To set the scene: it's 1974, it's Paris, two young guys in their bed-sit (one of whom is French music maven/famous producer Jay Alanski) are dreaming of counter-culture, and their internal versions of California and New York. The result is this album, a child begotten of Marc Bolan, Baudelaire, and Lautramont; a fascinating record, subtle and engaging as it is scarce; the re-creation of a parallel pop universe which one Michael Moorcock wouldn't have renounced. Somehow, the duo get their record out into the world on Monde Melody's one-off 'Silk' imprint (a tribute to Marc Bolan). And what twisted songs (in English) they managed to squeeze into a fifty-minute slab of vinyl. The music drips with deep nostalgia for the decadent 'beautiful people' who lived and breathed and then found a home in the songs of Lou Reed and Leonard Cohen, pervaded throughout with a kind of psychedelic sadness. All of this is expressed by means of long jagged acid guitar runs (or in acoustic strums) supported by Moroccan percussion (bongos) and heavy bass lines from Christophe J. A post-quaalude album, as band leader Jay Alanski has said. If the LP had been released in 1971, everyone would point to T-Rex as an influence, and call it 'glam folk'; fast forward to today and it's hard not to think 'loner' and draw comparisons with the music of Devendra Banhart, albeit recorded 35 years ago! We're now several decades further on in the world's slow self-destruction, but this sole recording by the Beautiful Losers has lost nothing of its freshness and superb arrogance. Blessed be the listener who is going to discover such a hidden treasure! Cd includes 1 bonus track.

GRAVES BROTHERS DELUXE - SAN MALO
Their newest release, SAN MALO, is a post-Hurricane Katrina re-telling of the true story of St Malo, Louisiana, a swamp village founded in 1763 by Filipino deserters of Spanish galleons. The village's struggles, isolation, and 1915 destruction by storm seem all the more relevant in 2010. Celebrated New Orleans artist BUNNY MATTHEWS and New Orleans native Bap Pawiftni provide cover art for the CD and LP respectively. "San Malo" was produced by the legendary GEZA X (Germs, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Elliott Smith) and PAUL ROESSLER (45 Grave, the Screamers).

SKIP BIFFERTY - SKIP BIFFERTY (UK)
They may have been downgraded over the intervening years to a retrospectively-acclaimed, collector-type act, but at the time Skip Bifferty were genuine contenders: significant radio support for their singles, heavyweight management (courtesy of the notorious Don Arden), and afforded Next Big Thing status by the weekly pop papers. Sadly, though, it didn t quite work out. Despite receiving rave reviews, the band s eponymous album failed to elevate them to the premier league, largely due to RCA s bizarre decision not to release it until the summer of 1968 a full year after it had been completed. Not that such record company procrastination matters now, as the album has long been regarded as one of the most dazzling examples of the British psychedelic pop genre. It forms the basis of this new, definitive Skip Bifferty collection, which, for the first time, gathers their entire studio output under one roof. Pride of place goes to three previously unreleased recordings, all taken from the original master-tapes. Jesus Smith (The Other Side Of) is the band s semi-legendary, hitherto-lost debut studio recording, while there are two versions of Skizoid Revolution , a song that has previously only been available with a guest vocal from Alan Hull. As with all Skip Bifferty material, these far superior versions feature the soulful tones of the band s lead singer, the hugely underrated Graham Bell. An essential release for anyone interested in British psychedelia!

BARKER, KEVIN - YOU AND ME
You & Me is KEVIN BARKER's debut album, released by Gnomonsong. Though it's his first solo release under his own name, Barker's no newcomer to the scene-he's spent the last few years recording, touring, and collaborating with DEVENDRA BANHART, JOANNA NEWSOM, VASHTI BUNYAN, VETIVER, ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS, and ESPERS, to name just a few. Essentially acting as everyone's favorite sideman, Barker has influenced and helped create a sound with which this generation is happily familiar. During his college days, Barker became interested in the finger-style guitar playing of John Fahey and Bert Jansch and began to record under the name CURRITUCK COUNTY. This solo project (sometime a duo with Vetiver / Espers drummer OTTO HAUSER) recorded albums for Teenbeat Records, Troubleman Unlimited, and the UK's Track and Field Organisation. Now Barker has assembled an unbelievable group of musicians for You & Me. Produced by THOM MONAHAN, the album features PAT SANSONE (WILCO), Joanna Newsom, JONATHAN WILSON (ELVIS COSTELLO, JENNY LEWIS), ERIC JOHNSON (SHINS, FRUIT BATS), and Otto Hauser (Vetiver, Espers). Full of sunny, rural country rock, You & Me recalls the rustic grooves of The Band and The Grateful Dead, the heady melancholy of Roy Harper, and the golden harmonies of CSNY.

CHANGES - LAMENT
From Changes' inception, R.N. Taylor and Nicholas Tesluk have woven bardic tales of gallantry, chivalry and of larger-than-life legendary and mythical heroes. They've sung of new love, love unrequited and love lost. They've written songs painting sonic imagery foretelling a dark apocalyptic future, which later came to pass while currently prophesying a society in the seminal stages of an even darker fate. With their new album, Lament, they turn their gaze inward, to their own personal apocalypses, stemming from their long marriages ending in dismal dissolution. They tell of their dark, oppressive inner-world that sought to drive them beyond the brink of despair. Only by being able to immerse themselves in their art and create works expressing these sorrows would they be able to maintain their sanity. Lament reaches out to all who've had their lives disrupted by modern societal partners going through mid-life crises, becoming antagonistic strangers to their families overnight. The song entitled "The Invisible Man" tells a tale based on H.G. Wells' novel with a personal twist. In their song "Emily", the historical figure of poetess Emily Dickinson comes to life. The "Mountains of Sorrow (Remix)", is an instrumental song enhanced by the deft arrangement, musicians and singers of Der Blutharsch with a voice-over by R.N. Taylor of his heart-rending lyric poetry. Also included, new versions of three of Changes' earlier works; "The Saddest Thing", "Sweet Eve" and "Memorabilia" as these songs merged well with the album's concept. Lament is sixty-four minutes in length with thirteen tracks. Comes in nice digipak with a sixteen page liner booklet.

LITTLE RICHARD - IMPLOSIVE LITTLE RICHARD
The Pre-Specialty session 1951-1953! The legend wants it that when Little Richard was working as a dishwasher in a restaurant, he used to sing and shout in the same irrepressible way that would make him famous a few years later, when his concerts were being televised all around the world. This set finally corroborates such a legend: The Implosive Little Richard illustrates the (re)construction process of the wildest, freest identity in rocknroll history. Here are all Richards first recordings from the early fifties with the Johnny Otis and Billy Wright bands, the Deuces of Rhythm and the Tempo Toppers. All his pre-Specialty, pre-Tutti Frutti waxings: his four RCA singles and all the 45s he recorded for Peacock Records. Gatefold sleeve with extensive liners, label shots, dozens of pictures, vintage press clipping and reviews. Tracklist: Get Rich Quick, Why Did You Leave Me, Taxi Blues, Every Hour, I Brought It All On By Myself, Aint Nothin Happenin , Thinkin Bout My Mother, Please Have Mercy On Me, Always, Aint That Good News, Fool At The Wheel, Rice, Red Beans And Turnip Greens, Maybe I'm Right, Directly From My Heart To You, I Love My Baby, Little Richards Boogie.

SORROWS - YOU'VE GOT WHAT I WANT: ESSENTIAL..
...Sorrows 1965-1967". When it came to tough, snarling, mod-into-freakbeat, sounds, legendary mid-Sixties act the Sorrows had few peers. Formed in Coventry, the band was signed by producer/A&Rman John Schroeder to the Piccadilly label in late 1964. In the space of little more than a year, they cut a superb album as well as a clutch of menacing, thrillingly essential 45s, including the iconic Take A Heart (the band s only chart success) and its equally incendiary follow-up, You ve Got What I Want. Adding a slightly revised line-up s blistering 1967 single Pink Purple Yellow And Red b/w My Gal to proceedings, You ve Got What I Want: The Essential Sorrows 1965-67 does exactly what it says on the tin, eschewing the more marginal outtakes, phoneticallylearnt foreign language recordings and post-band demos that have diluted previous collections in favour of collecting top-of-the-range, primetime Sorrows on one handy little silver disc. Featuring a dazzling 16-page booklet that contains previously unpublished photos, new liner notes and quotes from band members Don Fardon and Wez Price, You ve Got What I Want is nothing less than pure sonic overload from one of the most dynamic garage bands of the era...

VARIOUS - IKON RECORDS STORY (2CD)
REPRESSED!! Following on from the unprecedented acclaim given to their debut release - Public Nuisance Gotta Survive - Frantic Records is proud to announce their sophomore effort, and once again they dont do thing by halves. The Ikon Records Story is another lavish double disc set, this time focused on one of the most obscure yet enigmatic independent labels of the mid-1960s: Sacramentos Ikon Records. Ikon Enterprises was a studio and production set-up based in Californias capital that existed for just a brief few years between 1963 and 1966, yet was ground zero for every teenaged aggregation that could convince their parents to fork over the cash needed with which to enshrine their progenys adolescent warblings on a shiny vinyl 45s.These cool, cryptic items, issued on the studios custom label, are impossibly rare discs that feature pure, unadulterated teenaged mid-1960s rocknroll in its varying forms, whether they be surf, R&B, instrumental, folk-rock, raw garage, Brit-Inv, or spy-themed novelty. Several Ikon singles are coveted items within the rarified echelons of garage-collectordom: those by Madd, Inc, the Knightsmen, Prophets, Shondells and others are singles that regularly fetch big bucks on the very few occasions they are ever offered for sale. The Ikon Records Story has been in the works for many years, but the recent serendipitous discovery of all the labels cutting masters for Ikon releases now enables the Frantic team to deliver up an unprecedented 60 tracks of primo material, virtually all reissued for the first time, and thus unlike most archival collections, the sound quality is second to none. Additionally, various band members have opened their files to provide unreleased material, as well as fill in the story behind this mysterious imprint. The 28-page full color booklet is jammed to the gills with photos and memorabilia, in addition to a lengthy note from top garage expert Alec Palao examining the Ikon saga in tremendous detail. Garage rock clearinghouse 60sgaragebands.com hailed the news of the impending Ikon Records Story as "one of the releases of 2005" - and you wont be disappointed.

GARTEN KIRKHOF - LOST TAPES 1988-1994
Garten Kirkhof was formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1988 - but the foundations lay far more back in Sacramento, California in 1980. At that time in musical history, there were amazing and magical things brewing. Bands that would later become revered and influential had just recently formed (Christian Death, Magazine, Joy Divison, Bauhaus...) and their music made a huge impact on a relatively small, but discerning group of people. Two of them being a couple of young guys in the US Air Force, who were disillusioned with their jobs, life and especially the repetitive, mindless, crap being played on most radio stations at that time. These two guys (Veto and Wayne) started to work together since the early eighties, but it was only in 1988, when they started to record first tracks under the name Garten Kirkhof, with singer Jeffrey. This CD compiles the earlier tracks of the project, heavily influenced by Joy Division, early Christian Death, Bauhaus, Modern English. File under: Cold wave / US Goth Rock / Death rock.

"Etat Civil" gathers historic and personal crisis to capture some vertigos in a resolutely contemporary approach.

VICIOUS CIRCLE - BARBED WIRE SLIDES
Lucie Dehli and Stephan Ink are a duo of experimental musicicians, that started its musical carrier under the name of Vicious Circle on legendary British label SomeBizarre (Soft Cell, The The, Einsturzende Neubauten...). Barbed Wire Slides came originally out in 1990, and is now re-released with a previously unavailable track of the same period. The band later released two albums in France under the band-name VIEW on Les Disques du Soleil et de l'Acier (DAS). The voice of Lucie Dehli attracts the attention of German label Hyperium, and the song Bikeride has been included in the extremely successful Heavenly Voices sampler. A few years ago, the 2 musicians decide to settle in Belgium where they now take part in the experimental collective project of Jean Marie Mathoul -48 Cameras- (featuring David Coulter, Michael Gira, Rodolphe Burger..) and in 2006 they give birth to Elephant Leaf, a nuanced evolution of their previous works.

GENOCIDE ORGAN - LEICHENLINIE
20 years have passed since :Leichenlinie: got released the 1st time, and 10 years since it got released the 2nd time as CD accompanied with the :Truth will make you free: album. And now it shines here as the totally remastered 20 years anniversary edition. Completed with 2 additional tracks recorded around the same time and formerly released on the Monochrome Meditator MC only (SSSM / Japan 1991). This material stands for one of the most wanted records in this genre for all times. :Leichenlinie: remains as an outstanding release in the German post industrial music genre. The well-balanced music contains power electronic rhythm based tracks as well as dark drowning ambient pieces with haunting samples. Tracks like Klaus Barbie, Mind Control and Come Orgasm are played on various stations, parties and radios for the last 20 years. The two additional tracks, so far unknown to the majority, are fitting perfectly to the line-up of the early industrial-rhythm driven sound of the band. The CD comes in a nice spot varnished digipack with the logo debossed on the front cover, similar to : In-Konflikt :. Genocide Organ got founded in 1985. :Leichenlinie: compiled G.O. material that got recorded between 1987-1989 at Strebelwerk / Mannheim. Originally released in 1989 as Tesco 001. :Leichenlinie: is still an outstanding milestone in European "post industrial" music as it let loose new creative energy of a genre which was thought to be dead. The socio-political criticism, and cultural-terrorist approach is inherent. A document of its time! The opening opus of the band's restless striving for more depth in a shallow reality, in a society that likes to hide the unpleasant and controversial sides of life. The phrase "noli me tangere" is no longer in effect!

SJOB MOVEMENT - A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
Deep and spacy Afro-Funk rhythms from heavy weight Nigerian musicians Spark, Jonnie, Ottay and Bolla, veterans of Sonny Okosun's Ozzidi Band, these artists branched out in 1974 in a heavier, more personal direction. First ever reissue of this psychedelic Afro Funk classic! Aside from a few scattered blog entries, weve never seen this one given the attention it deserves. One track from their second LP was included on Soundway's Nigeria Disco Funk Special compilation from last year.

T-MODEL FORD - THE LADIES MAN (COL)
T-MODEL's first, and only, ACOUSTIC album! On July 22, 2008, James "T Model" Ford stepped into Planet Paul Studios in Wichita, KS at the end of his first formal tour in years. Rumors of his demise had been laid to rest after two weeks of T-Model's performing his raw, rough, & tumble blues. T wanted to play acoustic guitar and have 100% control over the record, so everyone agreed he should do it the way he wanted. The engineer simply let the tapes roll & T-Model made it look easy. One song after another just rolled out of him. "The Ladies Man" is the product of this afternoon session in Wichita. This is pure T Model, with some newer young musician friends playing along with him. It is also the only acoustic album T has ever recorded and it's a blast. "I don't have a care in the world," T-Model would remark occasionally. He'd back it up by taking time in the studio to sip Jack Daniels from his flask and tell "blue" stories or tales of his life's hardships to his new set of listeners. At 88 years old, he appeared younger and livelier than many folks a fraction of his age and this amazing record is the proof.
