ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES
Artist: BURNING IMAGE Title: 1983 - 1987
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 VIRUS316CD
Price: $9.50 Label: Alternative Tentacles
Release
Date:		 5/17/04
***The second in Alternative Tentacles' "punk reissue of necessity" series was unearthed from Bakersfield, California. In the twenty-year gap between Merle Haggard and Korn what do you do in a place like Bakersfield? Find three other mutants with equipment and cook up a stew of punk, goth and hardcore. BURNING IMAGE did just that, releasing an amazing single before dropping off the map. Includes all ten songs from the band's Final Conflict sessions produced by CHAZ RAMIREZ (Adolescents, Social Distortion, Leaving Trains), plus three gems recorded later.

Artist: BEIGE Title: I Don't Either
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 BAY 5CD
Price: $12.00 Label: Leaf
Release
Date:		 5/17/04
'I Don't Either' is the debut album by Cologne's ultrafunk proteg Oliver Braun. Composed of compulsive, playful electronica and skeletal house music - and influenced as much by P-Funk and the clipped R&B of Timbaland as it is by the fractured Cologne sound - this is the real future funk. Where much recent electronica relies on swathes of effects to bedazzle the listener, Beige's power lies in the way he strips the music down to a radically funky minimum. Initially alien to the ear, Beige takes the over-familiar elements of house music - the basslines, the vocal snatches - and puts them back together in a way you've never heard before. The album doesn't give up its charms right away, but as you filter through the dense layers of ideas, a strange sense of melancholy becomes apparent: it's fun (sometimes funny), but with emotional intent. The unassuming Braun was first brought to the label's attention by Stefan Betke (aka Pole), which was a pretty strong recommendation in itself. A couple of early tracks appeared on Caipirinha's superb 'Deutsche Funk' collection (curated by Bernd Friedmann), and the two tracks on last years 'Osmosis' compilation created a real stir. The artwork for 'I Don't Either' has been selected for inclusion Intro's book of radical sleeve design, 'Sampler 2'. The album was awarded Album Of The Month by respected German techno paper de:bug.

***Cousins Sam Britton and Ollie Bown created Icarus in 1997 to represent a collision of ideas that were best expressed musically. I Tweet The Birdy Electric is an adventure in sonic construction and musical history, melding the base of electronic culture's past with new bricks of originality. Like their peers Autechre, Supersilent and Burnt Friedman, Icarus walk a tightrope between inherited musical tradition and experimentalism, using the former in service of the latter without compromising the power of either.

The album twists its musical elements much in the way its title plays on Walt Whitman's famous poem pointing to a possible new direction for electronic music, recombining the past in new ways to render it completely innovative, while incorporating distinctly recognizable acoustic instruments to ground the compositions in an approximation of reality.

Icarus will be touring the world throughout 2004. Their live shows invoke a high-energy laptop duet, leading to wildly different performances with each appearance.
