MARILLION – MARBLES LIVE

Recorded at the Astoria in London on July 10th and 11th 2004, this CD is pure live music from the band described as “one of the progressive rock world’s most enduring and undervalued treasures,” Jon Hotten, Classic Rock. Marillion’s live performance is stirring with songs that are intense, deep-seated and musically rewarding. Since the early 80’s Marillion was known for their amazing live shows, gaining a huge following of loyal fans. The brilliant album Marbles proved to be even better live through this CD.
Tracklist: The Invisible Man ,Marbles I ,You’re Gone, Angelina, Marbles II, Don’t Hurt Yourself, Fantastic Place, Marbles III, The Damage, Marbles IV, Neverland, Estonia

BLAG DAHLIA - NINA (AND OTHER DELIGHTS) SPOKEN WORD & MUSIC

NINA...and other delights is one of the most audacious spoken word CD’s you will ever hear. Culled from the new novel NINA (scapegoatpublishing.com) by Blag Dahlia, warped mastermind behind the notorious Dwarves, this disc also contains selections from Blag’s column ‘How To Write Good’ and improvisations that call to mind a more demented Joe Frank on LSD. A background of lush turntable lounge music serves as the spoon full of sugar to help this vile elixir go down. For everyone loves words and hates everything else.
Tracklist: Whatever I Want, This Old Whore, Blag Dahlia Radio Intro, How to Write Good- ‘Cocaine’, Extreme Skate Abuse, ’Nina’ Intro, ‘Nina’ Chapter 11, ‘Nina’ Chapter 12, San Francisco, How to Write Good- ‘Halloween’, Invisible Ink Outro, The Legend of L-Mo, Young Toilets Club, Christ Comes Back

KAWABATA MAKOTO & THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION – HOT RATTLESNAKES

Hot Rattlesnakes is a reissue of a classic out of print Acid Mothers Temple-related CD. Pressed in a limited quantity in the UK, it sold out almost immediately and currently commands high prices on ebay and is whispered about in hushed tones from those who have actually heard it. Guitarist Kawabata Makoto brings along Acid Mothers Temple cohorts Tsuyama Atsushi (Zoffy, Omoide Hatoba) and Ichiraku Yoshimitsu for one of the most out there power trio recordings ever. While certainly close to Acid Mothers Temple in sound and feeling, Hot Rattlesnakes certainly exists in its own little corner of the Acid Mothers Temple galaxy. "If you're planning to give Ibiza a miss this summer and take a trip to the far reaches of the known galaxy instead, this is a must for your Walkman (iPod?). Recommended." - Peter Marsh, BBC Experimental Review
Tracklist: Theme Of Hot Rattlesnakes, Fripian Flipped Over Niffy Their King Of Frippery, French Sweet Sugar House
