july 2009 release ; frankly ridiculous 12-tapebible” of live recordings from matt valentine & erika elder, recorded over the past 7-odd years by the duo, in cahoots with pretty much a who’s who from their extended orbit / family / genealogy / lineage :: tim barnes, samara lubelski, willie lane, nemo bidstrup, tom carter, j. mascis, sloow bart, jeremywoodsearl, chris corsano, and many others ...

the whole thing is presented in an “audiobook” style fold-out vinyl case ; each tape is silk-screened with the relevant dates / info, and there’s a four-page legend explaining who played on what, where it was recorded, and who by ... entirely impressive both as a group effort / hug from the band to / from their “taper’s pit” and as a documentary of the pair’s musical evolution ... highly recommended !!!

ps. note to domestic (i.e. us-based) customers - these are already here in the states - shipping will only be a scant $4 or so via media mail. just thought i’d point that out. been seeing these out for sale in the u.k. for around £47 / $80 (yep, that’s the exchange rate right now !!!) - but always with a shipping tariff of £12 / $20 to the states ... something to think about ...
alt.vinyl press release...

the box set documents the mv & ee live experience in various incarnations between 2002 and 2009. the music is entirely unreleased material (with the exception of guitar barn featuring j mascis and tom carter, which was issued as a bootleg cdr in the heroine style, but was actually unofficial). highlights include a 2002 mv & ee medicine show performance, the guitar barn jam with j mascis and tom carter, a new band, mv & ee with the wolfpack, a recent set with jeremy earl of woods, as well as classic bummer road and golden road jams.

the box set will be presented chronologically and culminates in a pete's pix vol. 2 featuring 7 tracks from various dates mainly in the uk (including tracks from the thurston moore curated atp in 2006, and dylan nyoukis' 2006 colour out of space fest - both of which feature chris corsano).

"green blues may be the ultimate and most genuine artifact of what the media has proffered as "freak folk" as it not only makes manifest all that is desirous of said scene but in true nature, goes well beyond any known parameters as such. an already classic and legendary move." -thurston moore

dredd foole kissing the contemporary bliss

for over 30 years troubadour wailer dan ireton, aka dredd foole, has called upon the spirit of 78 shellac blues n' psychedelic stooges n' velvets to fuel his guttural, pure soul ethos of the song. whether solo or leading mass, foole hints at the classic forms of dylan’s blood on the tracks, buckley’s starsailor and the celestial fug of sun ra’s third-eye vision to create an approach untraveled yet increasingly influential (see: six organs of admittance, sunburned hand of the man).

produced in multi-dimensional spectrasound by matt “mv” valentine (bummer road, tower recordings), kissing the contemporary bliss spans 50 miles of elbow room (it’s a double cd) and kicks up the most outward bound and staggering approaches to gus cannon's "walk right in" and robert johnson's "stones in my passway" while offering ear-popping originals colored by erika elder’s jug blowin’ and coot moon’s ecstatic, reverb dosed banjo. you’ll hear nothing like this in 2008 or beyond. packaged in a mini-lp-styled gatefold book with full color photos of the foole in action.

dredd fooledaze on the mounts” compact disc

  • two faces
  • signed d.c.
  • the lion of green
  • freedom
  • feed the king
  • when (the) foole comes out
2007 reissue of dredd foole’s (in this case: dan ireton with matt valentine & erika elder) child of microtones-label cd-r daze on the mounts; a fine slab melding dan’s extended free-psych vox over a bed of tape-echo’ed instrumentation and mystery noises (acoustic guitar, harmonica, synthesizer, & percussion are all listed; but you wouldn’t know by listening to the thing...)

dan’s savage grace has been consistent since his days w/the din in the 80s... he’s a kind, gentle soul (we worked together for a spell) and this comes through in his music in droves; even when he’s howling like a banshee (prior bukowski-meets-sun-ra comparisons still ring true)

an excellent modern-psych burner; easily the best thing i’ve personally heard involving valentine/elder (although; i admit - i haven’t dug all too deep w/this clan...)

dredd foole
daze on the mounts
fv46 cd

hey, smooch! dredd, aka dan ireton, has finally come out and ended a near decade of silence and daze on the mounts, a spiraling three-dimensional crest of the so-called avant-folk expression, is the celebratory homecoming. originally a limited 2004 cdr, this reissue presents the colossal side for all. in collaboration with matt valentine & erika elder (mv&ee/bummer road and tower recordings), two of modern-time's purest interstellar travelers, dredd foole bounds between tim buckley-esque bellow and a hyper-extended take on the song form (a dewy mash of ra-space and vermont-lore) alongside environmental treatments (harmonica, synthesizer, percussion) and his own acoustic guitar work to fully transcend limitations. from the visceral 80s garage days with the din (with members of mission of burma and volcano suns) to becoming a beacon for many a free folk explorer, dredd remains a bona fide master of universal revelation.

december 2011 release ; ... by far the most ambitious project pan’s bill kouligas has taken on (thusfar ... although i hear there’s a marginal consort 4xlp in the works !?!?) is this sprawling, triple-disc set of recordings centered around saxophonist andre vida ...

... running the gamut from in-situ solo & duo improvisations (there’s a representative run in the sound-sample there to your left) to noisy, synth-based freakouts & rather tumultuous group-mind workouts (many featuring his former mentor / teacher anthony braxton ... but also folks like axel dörner, tim barnes, matt valentine, and rashad becker) it’s clear that andre’s something of a renaissance man ...

... comes in a “pan lp-style” mini screen-printed outer-jacket with a triple-disc pack inside coated in imagery & documentation ; very cool set ...
pan press release...

andre vida 'brud: volumes i-iii' (pan 20)

brud is a three volume compilation of recordings from 1995 to 2011 by andre vida, morphing seamlessly between a sense of total irreverence and the sublime. his spontaneous compositions and notated works are the angled mirrored counterparts of a transient saxophone driven performance language, drawing on elements of 1970s performance art, new music, improvisation cult, folk and pop hybrids, channeling them into asymmetrical tunes of feral beauty.

brud traces the development of vida's wayward language through 16 years of copious ruminations. the three delightfully polymorphic perverse discs unite sparkling solo sax, pieces for cello and woodwind sextet, synth / concrete electronic music, nocturnal improvisations, rare 90's new york free jazz compositions, and the kreuzberg suite — a distilled culmination of a hundred nights of berlin mayhem into ecstatic swinging lyricism. both solo works and as well as various collaborations with anthony braxton, rashad becker, axel dörner, matt "mv" valentine, tim barnes, helen rush, olaf rupp, clare cooper, clayton thomas, brandon evans, elisabeth king, steve heather and many more.

andre vida is a hungarian american saxophonist, composer and lyricist living in berlin. more downtown cheeky grin than mere caveman smile, he is cosmically notorious for continuing the rahsaan roland kirk one man horn section legacy with hydra headed style. he has been at the forefront of several major developments in experimental music, being mainly in anthony braxton’s original ghost trance ensemble, as founding member of new york collective the ctia, subsequent ‘freak folk’ groups such as the tower recordings, and his extensive collaborations with electronic music visionaries jamie lidell, tim exile and kevin blechdom, elton john, gonzales, cecil taylor, ornette coleman to name but a few, sewing up some heavy threads in downtown sax patchwork refracted through a borgesian lens.

the 3xcd is a limited edition of 1000 copies, and is packaged in a pro-press digisleeve jacket which itself is housed in a one-tone silk screened pvc sleeve with artwork by andre vida and bill kouligas.
