OUT NOW is the new recording by N.E.W. There are few musical experiences that move from the titillating to the terrifying in such a short space of time. Noble (percussion/drums), Edwards (bass), Ward (electric guitar), are experts at the improv game, tooled up, as they are, with the sharpest of musical wits, the most adroit techniques and almost uncanny powers of perception.

OUT NOW is the unreleased live Recording of Robbie Basho "Bonn Ist Supreme". Click here to order. Basho is recognized as one of the essential, transporting acoustic guitarists of his time. His music is indispensable to a host of players, foremost among them, Steffen Basho-Junghans, who has taken Basho’s name, and his inspiring example, to places they’ve never been before. Such fellow travelers as Jack Rose, Matt Valentine and James Blackshaw clearly “get” Basho, and have been quick to credit his influence. (Glenn Jones)  

OUT NOW : First CD release by the English acoustic guitarist C Joynes, his approach to recording and compositional process contains a subtle and unassuming experimentation, at times including collaged fragments, field recordings, processing, en-plein-air recordings, and cut-and-paste. Joynes uses a heavy thumb-led finger-picking technique that harks back to traditional country-blues and early ragtime, however, he uses this technique to explore alternative melodic traditions. click here to order.

OUT NOW: A long overdue meeting of the firey Saxophones of Alan Wilkinson & Peter Brotzmann (in a quartet with Wlli Kellers & Simon H. Fell), CD only. A scorcher click here to order

OUT NOW: Debut recordings of solo guitarist Tom James Scott. Tom is a young classically trained guitarist, a mainstay of the improvising collective CYRK. Tom's influences stretch far and wide, touching upon aspects of traditional music, improvisation, vocal music, composition, and field recording to name but a few. These 5 slices of acoustic alchemy are well formed compositions for acoustic guitar, where the wealth of folk guitar has been distilled through a minimalist   mind set to create some of the most beautiful elemental melodic lines that take the listener on a journey of meditative contemplation.   Hard card mini gatefold sleeve lmited to 500.
