Release Notes:

http://www.bonnieprincebilly.com

Though Will Oldham began his musical career while in his early twenties, he's
never exactly sounded young. From his first releases as Palace Music, Oldham's
whiskey-soaked vocals and lyrical obsessions with death, sex, and religion have
made "maturity" something of a non-issue. And yet, with his most recent couple
of releases as Bonnie "Prince" Billy, the aesthetic antiquity of his earliest
recordings seems to have slowly given way to a more mundane sense of age.

Release Notes:

With this atom heart of ours, Naked Lunch has claimed its place of honor once
and for all in that part of the canon of contemporary pop that has eschewed
straight-forward structures in an attempt to cultivate mass appeal. Instead,
Naked Lunch focuses its energy and intelligence over ten wonderful songs,
resulting in a rich, precise structure of sounds and songs based on a fertile
musical logic that never becomes strained. Their wildness flows in the creation
of music from an often overwhelming beauty. All of this takes work. 揥ork
hurts,?says Oliver. But this work has been worth it. In a just world, this atom
heart of ours would propel Naked Lunch into one of the first violins of heaven抯
orchestra, whereby they could oversee the entire pop universe. By any means
necessary.

But in principle it does not even matter what happens to this album. What is
important is that it exists. It is an album that defies categorization, leaving
you changed after listening to the last tones of in the end. It is rich,
touching and deeply moving. It may give some the impulse to say things that they
should have said long ago, such as the searching for words for a long-overdue
declaration of love, but as yet went unsaid on account of fear.

[RELEASENOTES]                         
After a period of quiet consolidation, during which the band     
concentrated on collaborations with the likes of WERKRAUM as     
well as contributions to compilations, LADY MORPHIA are pleased 
to announce the release of their second full-length offering.   
This disc, entitled Essence and Infinity, comes with a lavish   
sixteen-page booklet which includes lyrics in addition to       
artwork that reflects the albums concerns and aesthetics. It     
features ten tracks.                                             
The range of styles contained on the CD is immensely diverse,   
stretching from tenebrous experimental ambience to beautiful     
acoustic ballads, via lush classical orchestrations, darkly     
energetic rock and more. Despite the genre-spanning nature of   
the various compositions, the entire recording is underpinned by 
a conceptual and atmospheric unity which ensures the inseparable 
coherence of the whole. All pieces are inspired in some way by   
the work of the German philosopher Oswald Spengler.

Promo cd of this exclusive online release.       
----                                             
In the Canadian prairie city of Regina,           
Saskatchewan resides a 20 year-old named Liam     
Brennand. His passion is music. When Liam was 13 
years old, he first started to produce music     
using miscellaneous music software, video games   
and sampling cd's using audio editors. When Liam 
went into high school he started to get better at 
producing music by using more sophisticated       
software.                                         
Liam began producing dance music around 2001. It 
was also about this time that Liam started       
experimenting with a unique sound that changed   
the way he wrote and produced music. When you     
listen to the music you can clearly hear a blend 
of the music that has influenced Liam's style     
such as post rock, guitar pop, idm and synth pop. 
Liam calls the music he produces as "Neon Tetra" 
music.                                           
In 2005, Liam released his first Neon Tetra EP   
"Grain Elevator" on Canadian netlabel Phoniq.     
After much success with this release, the EP     
brought his success to Noise Factory records.     
Liam states, "While listening to the track       
"Home", don't focus on reality, "Home" is a       
journey to the unreality. Taking you to other     
places while still listening to the track in the 
comforts of your home - enjoy !"

天氣冷颼颼，但耶誕節還是要過。不知道今年耶誕節各位打算做些什麼？安排了哪些有趣的節目。每年適逢耶誕節，國外應景的音樂專輯特別多，絕大多數只是爾爾、了無新意。近日內購得這張由日本Power Shovel Audio廠牌所發行的群星賀耶誕合輯【Merry Christmas, Mr.PowerShovel】卻有著說不出的喜悅。熟知Power Shovel Audio的朋友應該都知悉該品牌由日本素人電子音樂家藤本熊一郎(Yuichiro Fujimoto)等人所設立，過去曾經帶來過民謠女將Kath Bloom闊別樂壇多時的專輯【Come Here】以及Patrik Torsson、Very Rec、Directorsound、Killer Bong...等電子暨民謠音樂家的作品。而這張雙CD耶誕音樂合輯【Merry Christmas, Mr.PowerShovel】，除了延攬藤本熊一郎與旗下眾樂手的全新作品之外，亦找來了挪威知名設計師身兼音樂創作者的KIM HIORTHØY、瑞典Patrik Torsson、Ljudbilden & Piloten、法國My Jazzy Child，以及實驗電音名廠Lucky Kitchen的當家藝人Alejandra & Aeron共襄盛舉。整張專輯共計22首曲目，曲風囊括Folk、Freestyle、Illbient、Downtempo、Field Recordings再到Electro-Acoustic等多個電子音樂(Electronica)範疇；其中由藤本熊一郎親自打理創作的 "christmas tape"，更透過Field Recordings等素材將孩童的耶誕歌曲吟唱對白全部收錄下來，的確是一張應景卻又十分可愛、特殊的耶誕音樂專輯。陽光開始探頭，也該是出去走走的時候了。

     Long-delayed 3rd album by internationally acclaimed solo
     artist Rivulets. Featuring guests Jessica Bailiff (Kranky),
     Chris Brokaw (Codeine, Come,the New Year), Christian
     Frederickson (Rachel's), Fred Lonberg-Holm (Boxhead Ensemble),
     & Bob Weston (Mission of Burma, Shellac).

     The contributions of these remarkable musicians adds snowy
     layers of wintery texture to Nathan Amundson's beautiful
     recordings. Like Nick Drake smothered not with layers of
     orchestration, but subtle textures to truly compliment the
     mood of the album.

     Rivulets is the project of minimalist singer-songwriter Nathan
     Amundson. Born in Colorado, Amundson grew up in Alaska before
     leaving home at age 16 and moving frequently throughout the
     United States. He started performing
     as Rivulets in 1999, and currently resides in Bloomington, IN.

     Rivulets is a prolific songwriter, with releases out on
     several labels, including Acuarela, BlueSanct, Silber, and
     Chair Kickers' Union.
     This is Rivulets' 3rd full length album, and 1st for Important
     Records.

     Rivulets' first 2 full-length albums, r i v u l e t s (2002)
     and Debridement (2003), were both recorded by Alan Sparhawk of
     Low, and released on Low's own label Chair Kickers' Union.
     These albums feature guest appearances from the likes of
     Jessica Bailiff , LD Beghtol (Magnetic Fields), Jon DeRosa
     (Aarktica), Marc Gartman (No Wait Wait), Brian John Mitchell
     (Remora), Aaron Molina (if thousands), and Mimi Parker
     (Low).
     Extensive touring overseas has garnered Rivulets intensely
     loyal fanbases across Europe. We're hoping this, Rivulets 1st
     album on Important records, will help the US to take notice as
     well. A few of the artists Rivulets has shared bills with in
     the past include: Haley Bonar, Chris Brokaw, Cerberus Shoal,
     Cocorosie, Mark Eitzel, Daniel Johnston, Low, Mirah, My
     Morning Jacket, the New Year, Scout Niblett, Piano Magic,
     Radar Bros., Stars of the Lid, Songs: Ohia, Swearing at
     Motorists, Willard Grant Conspiracy, Shannon Wright, and Xiu
     Xiu. Rivulets' discography also includes numerous compilation
     appearances and several EPs: the aforementioned Thank You
     Reykjavik EP on BlueSanct; The Alcohol EPs on Silber; the
     Rivulets / Marc Gartman split CD (featuring Jarboe of Swans)
     on Tract; and the You've Got Your Own EP on Acuarela (the
     bestselling EP Acuarela have released, out-selling EPs by the
     Album Leaf, the Clientele, and Tara Jane O'Neil!).

     This is not a folk album. This is an album about hearts
     breaking, tearing it down, and moving on.

Release Notes:

J.K. Broadrick triumphantly returns with his second, and quite appropriately
titled, Jesu full-length (the follow-up to last year抯 critically acclaimed
Silver EP). Packed with eight gorgeously hypnotic tracks in just over an hour,
Conqueror exhales a dreamlike mist of weighty celestial ambience, underwater
phantasms and slow-rolling nebulae, fomenting the kind of kaleidoscopic
rapture梑rimming with lush electronics, dulcet guitar textures, massive riffs,
and lavish atmospheric hues梩hat makes us swear we抮e on drugs.

后金属。。啧啧，很赞的定义～

 

Jesu这张过了三遍，跟前两张一样，删鸟。一块下的Lady Morphia和Naked Lunch也都干掉了。
