NEW ARRIVALS: CDs - Miles Davis, Gayngs, Swans, Les Savy Fav, Robyn et al

v/a PSYCH-FUNK 101 CD
*** RECOMMENDED An incredible compilation of late 1960s/early '70s obscure international psychedelic funk with an emphasis on the psychedelic, Psych-Funk 101 is a dark & awesome combo of fried organs, heavy bass, crack drummers, and mind-bending guitar.

LES BAXTER African Jazz / Jungle Jazz CD
*** "Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the Exotica/Lounge legend on one CD."

JACQUES BREL My Death CD
*** Import collection of smash tunes! "Jacques Brel was an earthquake for French culture, holding audiences spellbound by the sheer ferocity of his performances and by deep, dark lyrics."

CURRENT 93 Baalstrom, Sing Omega CD
*** "Their most raw, powerful and hallucinatory album yet. Thanks for glistening. We hallucinate on, and then we're gone."

MILES DAVIS Bitches Brew 40th 2xLP+3xCD+DVD
*** Yow! Perhaps you've heard of Miles Davis! One of his craziest records gets some crazy reissue treatment in a big, fancy box. You won't believe it! On sale.

GAYNGS Relayted CD
*** "Vocally, Gayngs is a triumph. Zack Coulter floats over the record with airy, haunting melodies. Bon Iver's familiar falsetto will flip wigs with Bone Thug's-style R&B, while P.O.S. abandons his genre entirely for a soul inspired tenor. Each song is 69 BPM's with tripped-out transitions from song to song."

INTERPOL Interpol LP+MP3 / CD
*** BACK IN STOCK! And we have free 45 adapters bearing the Interpol logo. Just ask for one!

JOHN LEGEND & THE ROOTS Wake Up! CD
*** "Musical powerhouses John Legend & The Roots present eleven profoundly evocative songs(!) pulled from the soulful music of the 60's and 70's all with an underlying theme of awareness, engagement and consciousness."

LES SAVY FAV Root For Ruin CD
*** Brand spanking new "disk" from Weird Beard & The Boys!

THE NAKED FUTURE Gigantomachia CD
*** World-shattering free jazz and well-reviewed too (just ask the internet!) and it's on ESP-Disk which is a fact both crazy & righteous. Ever heard of Albert Ayler? Pharoah Sanders? ESP, baby! Feat. ARRINGTON DE DIONYSO (Old Time Relijun), THOLLEM MCDONAS, JOHN NIEKRASZ and GREG SKLOFF.

OLD TIME RELIJUN Witchcraft Rebellion CD
OLD TIME RELIJUN Lost Light CD
OLD TIME RELIJUN Catharsis In Crisis LP / CD

*** BACK IN STOCK! "Modern American primitive deconstructionists with their frantic fusion of raw roots rock, latter 60's ecstatic jazz and aggressive punk mutations, and raging schizophrenic convulsions... it's great."

ROBYN Bodytalk Pt. 2 CD
*** "Robyn expands her pool of collaborators, bringing aboard Snoop Dogg and Savage Skulls for the second in a trilogy of albums she'll release this year."

EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS Up From Below CD
*** BACK IN STOCK!
