2CD set / digipack sleeve + 52 pages book
In the previous three anthologies, we mentioned the historical axes at
the heart of the advent of concrete and electronic music: Pierre
Schaeffer's workshop studio (in Vol. 1), the WDR Studio in
Cologne (Vol. 3) and the Princeton Electronic Music Center in
Columbia, New York (Vol. 2). Quickly though, the development and
creation of electronic studios became a priority, with new facilities
popping up around the world: throughout Europe and America, but also
in Brazil, Mexico and Japan, countries where there was a will to create
music that was radically new. As important as it was, the technological
wave was not big enough, as Tod Dockstader's case testifies: because
of his technician's background in sound editing, he was prevented from
pursuing his art in the studios, which remained the musicians' turf.
more than 2 h 30' of music - many rare tracks and unpublished (at least
75%) + big booklet full of notes and biographical notices
2CD digipack sleeve. follow-up to Anthology volume 1 (SR190),
Anthology volume 2 (SR200), Anthology 3 (SR220) which become in a
few years time, real 'classics' inside our catalogue” [label info]

compiled by jukka lindfors, based on his series of radio documentaries
for finnish broadcasting company. together here are gathered for the
first time some seminal tracks usually considered the milestones of
early finnish electronic music; being the real predecessors of the
sounds of mika vainio, pan sonic & et al.; combined with some rarities
and previously unpublished tracks. the album concentrates mostly
around the output of the now-legendary love records label, varying from
electronic music to avantgarde sounds, free-jazz and experimental rock.

* DEBRIS FIELD CD / BOOK (Bolton Museum / ICR 53, 2006)
€ 16.00
Katalog und -CD zum Thema “Trümmer” einer Ausstellung, die von
April bis Juni in einer Kunstgalerie in Bolton (UK) stattfand und von
PHIL MOULDYCLIFF kuratiert wurde. Abbildungen von Bildern,
Skultputuren, Zeichnungen, Texte & Biographien der hier vorgestellten
13 Künstler, sowie ein 48+ minütiger feinstofflich-ambientöser
Installationssoundtrack von LOREN CHASSE, PHIL MOULDYCLIFF,
COLIN POTTER und KEITH ROWE machen dies zu einer äusserst
sehens- und hörenswerten Publikation.
“This is the CD and catalogue for the 'Debris Field' exhibition at Bolton
Museum curated by Phil Mouldycliff. The CD is an edited version of
'Debris Field ambient wash', a 48 minute piece that is split into 3
movements. The catalogue includes an essay by Mouldycliff titled
'Tracing paths through debris fields' which gives some insight into the
exhibition and CD. Also includes photographs of some of the exhibits
and artist biographies for those involved including Colin Potter, Keith
Rowe, Max Eastley, Tom Philips etc” [ICR]
“ 'Debris Fields' was curated by Phil Mouldycliff and deals with
'remains', the debris after the act. It's not an exhibition about music per
se, as it includes paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures and also music.
Some of the participating artists are also musicians, such as Loren
Chasse, Keith Rowe and Phil Mouldycliff and they all delivered some
music to Colin Potter, who presented 'Debris field Ambient Wash', a mix
of all the sounds into a 'discreet, constantly changing audible
environment' to fill up the space with the exhibits. While flipping pages
of the catalogue at home, this music fills also up the private space, and
the big advantage is of course you can turn up the volume much louder
and enjoy things perhaps better than in the public space. The music
alone is worth getting the catalogue for.” [FdW / Vital Weekly]
* FROZEN LIGHT CD (Essentia Mundi EM002, 2006) [lim.
100] € 8.00
Auch in Rumänien breiten sich geräuschhafte Drone-Aktivitäten aus
(wenn man das so nennen kann) – dies ist die erste Compilation des
noch jungen ESSENTIA MUNDI-Labels von Casian Stefan aka
ABBILDUNG mit sehr philosophischer Ausprägung.
‚FROZEN LIGHT’ ist eine Compilation zum Thema LICHT, das ist
sowohl im physikalischen Sinne als auch im geistigen (als
erleuchtendes Wissen oder Gedankenfeuer) zu verstehen. In dunkles
Pulsieren mischen sich hereinbrechende Klangobjekte, metallurgenes
Aufleuchten, mächtige Echo-Implosionen, summende Gitarrenwände,
rauschende Wasserhöhlen, illuminierte Sphärendrones,
phosphoreszierende Wohlklang-Schwingungen, gleitende Räume mit
gallerartigen Wänden, die sich langsam wie Licht-Vorhänge bewegen...
ähnlich gutes Material wie die kürzlich erschienende CRYOSPHERE-
Compilation, gutes bis sehr gutes haben uns die Stücke von OBJEKT4,
NEXUS SUN, SAMSA, CHROMASCOPE, OENYAW gefallen.... limitiert
und nummeriert auf nur 100 Stück, und es wäre nicht verwunderlich,
wenn diese Comp. in ein paar Jahren ein gesuchtes Teil geworden ist !!
1.Abbildung - Walk Within
2.Objekt 4 / Wolfskin - Winter Robed In Somber Unlight
3.Nexus Sun - Black Drone
4.Samsa - Drawing Oceans
5.Wapstan - Burnt By Frost
6.Chromascope - The Earth Shall Inherit The Weak
7.Oenyaw - The Tutor Of Achilles
8.Nehmödt - A Curious Centerpiece
9.Audioemetic - Rayleigh
10.Fractaled - Slow Light Pulses
”A collective research work about the light, both physical light and
the "light" of knowledge - indeed it can be icy.
About 76 minutes of dark ambient and drone soundscapes.
Pro. print CDr limited to 100.” [label info]
