BIRDMAN

Artist:	BREAST FED YAK	Title:	Get Your Greasy Head Off The Sham
Format:	CD	Catalog Number:	BMR042
Price:	$12.00	Label:	Birdman
Release Date:	2/10/03
*According to Paul Lemos, an original member of the NY-based experimental/industrial group Controlled Bleeding, his new Breast Fed Yak project "ha[s] completely put aside all electronics on these new recordings [and have gone] back to something much more primal...." Indeed: imagine a naked, 350-pound superhero scatting like Ella Fitzgerald having an epileptic fit (longtime Controlled Bleeding collaborator Joe Papa) backed by a band of Plutonians (Lemos and Yoshida Tatsuya of Ruins) who challenge their instruments to defy the electricity coming out of their 50,000 fingertips. With influences that include Ennio Morricone, Albert Ayler, Captain Beefheart, Sun Ra, and spy movie themes, Get Your Greasy Head Off The Sham mocks classification that terms such as "soul-pain," "dis-funk," and "Sunset Stripped R&B spasmcore" try to capture. With guest appearances by Hakan Almkvist (of Ensemble Nimbus fame) on sitar and The Holy Trinity High School Detention Choir, this music on this album, according to Birdman,** will kill you, although not without saving you the last dance at your funeral. Biographical info Paul Lemos's work in Controlled Bleeding leans toward classical structure yet still retains a surrealist texture with an embrace of feedback, noise, and groundbreaking recording techniques. Lemos is also known as a respected compiler of tracks for industrial/ experimental music compilation series Dry Lungs-- essential listening for anyone interested in the different and unconventional. A member of Controlled Bleeding since the mid-'80s, Joe Papa brought a ethereal/gothic vibe to the band. In 1998 he was a Long Island Music Awards nominee for best male vocalist on an indie label. For Get Your Greasy Head Off The Sham, he poses inside the CD book as a thumb-sucking adult baby; an attached birth announcement reveals all sorts of little known biographical details, such as his full name, birth weight, ambitions, turn-ons (which include "acorn sculpture"), turn-offs, personal philosophy, personal fantasy ("to make love on top of the Eiffel Tower, covered in mint jelly"), and so on. Yoshida Tatsuya is the brainchild behind legendary Japanese rhythm-section duo Ruins, a band he formed in 1985 who have continually astonished many for their dense fusion of hardcore energy, prog-rock theatrics and free-improv virtuosity. He recently appeared on Controlled Bleeding's Can You Smell the Rain Between album (released by Tone Casualties), from which the opening track on Get Your Greasy Head Off The Sham is a remix.

COG SINISTER

Artist:	FALL, THE	Title:	Fall In A Hole
Format:	2xCD	Catalog Number:	COGVP137
Price:	$13.00	Label:	Cog Sinister
Release Date:	2/10/03
*Recorded in Auckland, New Zealand on four-track reel-to-reel by Chris Knox (Tall Dwarfs), and originally released on Flying Nun Records in 1982, In a Hole captures The Fall** in fine, tight and edgy form, playing tracks from the Hex Enduction Hour and Room To Live albums, as well as a few tracks that would later be released as singles and oldies. It is still considered to be the definitive live Fall album, both in quality of recording, performance and material. It is the final recording with the era's line-up, as Marc Riley was sacked as soon as the band returned to England. In a Hole originally came with a free 12-inch; this re-mastered, updated version comes with the extra tracks from that 12-inch, plus six others recorded elsewhere on the same New Zealand tour. Track listing: Disc One 1. Impression Of J. Temperance 2. The Man Who's Head Expanded 3. Room To Live 4. Hip Priest 5. Lie Dream Of Casino Soul 6. Prole Art Threat 7. Hard Life In The Country 8. The Classical 9. Mere Pseud Mag Ed. 10. Marquis Cha Cha 11. Backdrop Disc Two 1. Fantastic Life 2. English Scheme 3. Joker Hysterical Face 4. No Xmas For John Quays 5. Solicitor In Studio 6. The Container Drivers * 7. C'n'C Black Night * 8. Look, Know * 9. Who Makes The Nazis? * 10. Gramme Friday * 11. Slates, Slags etc. * (*bonus tracks) Fantastic document of The Fall live in New Zealand in 1982, much lusted-after by collectors Double-CD for the price of a single album Considered by many to be the definitive Fall live recording Remastered for CD with six previously unavailable bonus tracks

Price:	$12.00	Label:	Holy Mountain
Release Date:	2/10/03
***Steven Wray Lobdell's guitar playing discovers colors and shapes at extreme volume levels. Astonished audiences have also found that Mr. Lobdell can call up each sound used in his myriad innovative recordings and exercises a control over them that is preternatural. *Code Orange* is a live collage from the Davis Redford Triad's Spring 2002 tour. The band played a variety of material from both of their Holy Mountain albums plus rocked-out electric versions of material from Mr. Lobdell's sublime solo album, Automatic Writing by the Moon.

IN THE RED

Artist:	FEAST OF SNAKES, A	Title:	S/T
Format:	LP	Catalog Number:	ITR096
Price:	$8.25	Label:	In The Red
Release Date:	2/10/03
*From outta Dallas, Texas, comes this new psycho four-piece ready to rip you a new aural a-hole. They swiped their name from a berserk novel by Harry Crews and match the insanity of that book with grimy ass-shakin' swagger, spats of slide guitar, and the odd pained outburst of screaming distortion. Think the noisiest and most overwrought moments from Birthday Party, The Scientists and Black Flag. Alex Cuervo's name should be familiar to In The Red aficionados; he was in Blacktop and the King Sound Quartet, and is currently in the Gospel Swingers and Now Time Delegation. James Arthur was in Fireworks and the Necessary Evils. Together in Feast of Snakes they've found a means to channel what is, apparently, their abundant supply of angst and rage. They've already released one vinyl seven-inch EP in Australia (long out of print), which they're following up with this limited edition, 8-song vinyl-only pressing on In The Red. Watch for the band's west coast tour in May 2003. Vinyl only, limited edition The new band of Alex Cuervo, whose resume includes ITR ensembles Blacktop, King Sound Quartet, Now Time Delegation, and Gospel Swingers**

SEPIA TONE

Artist:	BAKER, MICKEY	Title:	The Wildest Guitar
Format:	CD	Catalog Number:	STONE13
Price:	$12.00	Label:	Sepia Tone
Release Date:	2/10/03
***Mickey Baker is best known as one half of Mickey & Sylvia, but his track record for incredible guitar work on countless '50s R&B cuts (many for Atlantic) is what makes *The Wildest Guitar,* his first and only solo album, so desirable among collectors. Despite Baker's well deserved reputation as one of the most influential guitar players of early rock'n'roll, The Wildest Guitar is one of the few chances he really gets to strut his stuff as a solo artist. This entirely instrumental set features keening, sharp, bluesy riffs in much the same distinctive style that gained him fame on "Love Is Strange" and other tunes with Mickey & Sylvia. The choice of material, though, is a bit surprising, favoring some oddball standards: "Third Man Theme," "Autumn Leaves," "Lullaby of the Leaves," and Cole Porter's "Night and Day." Baker (who also arranged the album) invests all of these with a snazzy R&B feel and biting solos. And he does actually write four of the twelve tunes himself, on which he fashions the kind of straightforward R&B that one would be more likely to expect. This is an amazing showcase to hear Baker's unadorned virtuosity. The cover photo alone is proof enough that Mickey Baker was indeed a major musical force to be reckoned with. With original liner notes by Bob Rolontz Part of the hit-making team Mickey and Sylvia The first and only solo album by one of early rock'n'roll's most influential guitar players (along with Chuck Berry & Bo Diddley) Consummate session man with a unique trademark sound whose most famous sessions include Françoise Hardy, The Drifters' "Money Honey," Joe Turner's "Shake, Rattle & Roll," Big Maybelle's "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On," Ike & Tina Turner, Joe Meek , and The Everly Brothers Screenplay by JW Bellbottoms 30-second RealAudio excerpts: Third Man Theme Whistle Stop Night and Day Midnight Midnight Autumn Leaves Baia Milk Train Old Devil Moon Chloe Baker's Dozen Lullaby of the Leaves Gloomy Sunday

TIGERBEAT 6

Artist:	SODAHBERK, DWAYNE	Title:	Partying Without Inhibition Or Dignity
Format:	CD	Catalog Number:	MEOW071CD
Price:	$4.00	Label:	Tigerbeat 6
Release Date:	2/10/03
*Finished immediately after his first European tour headlining and opening for the likes of Kid606 and the legendary Thomas Brinkmann, this is the soundtrack for a bad night out, including bad attitude, bad judgement, social incompetence, desperation, embarrassment, and unmotivated bursts of exaggerated emotions. Hmmm, resembles a typical Monday morning at Revolver/Midheaven... Musically, Sodahberk can't decide if he's a punk rocker or an electronica geek or an indie-pop nerd - you gotcher walls of guitar in the opening song, a sassy electro title track (featuring on vocals Maria Eilersen from Swedish indie-electropunk band Revlon9*), thick and down-tempo hip-hop beats on "What You Waited For" (with vocals by Dwayne), sentimental pop in "Yeah, You," the V12-engined, unstoppable, four-to-the-floor "Forever," and the hysterical closing track. The CD version includes tracks previously available only on vinyl-- three from the Unsound* EP on Sodahberk's Stuporsonika label, as well as the techno-pop anthem "I_Skatr" from the E.Pr.Disco 12-inch made with Stuporsonika labelmate Janosh Brando for Swayzak's Voltmusik label. Expect to see Dwayne Sodahberk bringing his unique, noisy and often beautiful live set on the 2003 Tigerbeat6 world tour, various remixes, a collaborative record with Swedish electronica pioneer Ralph Lundsten, and a follow-up full length album on Tigerbeat6 some time in the summer. Fantastic dissolution-core from Euro electronic punk pilgrim 30-second RealAudio excerpts: Rippin What You Waited For Yeah You Forever Partying without Inhibition or Dignity Har Lite BrÂttom i_skatr Ends Eye Break Your Ugly Necks If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the iTunes button immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to the iTunes Music Service page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: For a complete listing of Midheaven exclusive albums available for download from the iTunes Music service, please visit the Midheaven Mailorder/Revolver USA Downloadables page.
