((((( NEW ARRIVALS: CDs ))))) Numero Group reissues, MF Doom, Peaches remixes Tone Loc?!

RIVERS CUOMO Alone: The Home Recordings CD
*** From Rivers: "I've compiled a CD of my favorite demos from the years 1992 to 2007. I hope you enjoy it." 16 song CD with personal photos, song descriptions & insights from Weezer's Rivers Cuomo.

THE FOUR MINTS Gently Ride Your Stream CD
*** "Deluxe reissue of the one and only, highly sought after, and criminally overlooked Four Mints album. While three of these songs appeared on Numero’s Eccentric Soul: The Capsoul Label in 2004, the rest have sat in the can since their release in 1973. The ten song album has been completely re-mastered and features three previously unissued tracks."

HARMONIA Musik Von Harmonia CD
*** "Once called 'the world's most important rock group' by Brian Eno, legendary minimalist avant-garde band Harmonia was formed by Michael Rother of Neu! and Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius of Cluster. While leaning slightly towards Cluster's ambient sound, they were also entirely their own entity -- a jet engine running clean and precise but also spouting asphyxiating aural exhaust."

HARMONIA Deluxe CD
*** "Formed in the early seventies by HANS-JOACHIM ROEDELIUS and DIETER MOEBIUS of CLUSTER with MICHAEL ROTHER of NEU!. 1975’s Deluxe featured more structured songs, along with a sparse spattering of vocals, and the guest appearance of MANI NEUMEIER of GURU GURU on a few tracks."

JOHNNY LUNCHBREAK Appetizer / Soups On CD
*** "The complete recordings of a band no one was ever meant to hear. Originally issued in an acetate pressing of four copies (one for each band member), the near on 35 year lunch break is over for this Connecticut group of wanna-Bee Gees. they aimed for Gibb but somehow ended up being the working man’s Velvets. They recorded Exile, but the playback copy had Marquee Moon scribbled on it. So far ahead they’re standing right behind you."

LUPE FIASCO Lupe Fiasco's The Cool CD
*** Don't sweat it -- we're already sold out! More to come tomorrow!

KING CRIMSON The Great Deceiver 2xCD
*** A recent issue of live material from the kings.
