Artist: ABTAN, FREIDA Title: Subtle Movements
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 DJ111
Price: $13.00 Label: Durtro - Jnana
Release
Date:		 10/22/07
***Freida Abtan loves sound. Her music falls somewhere in between musique concrete and more modern noise and experimental audio. Concentrating on the visceral and inspired by dreams, she has created visual shows for and played with Nurse with Wound, and also as presented her own sound and visual work at festivals across Canada.

Subtle Movements was completed over four years from the sidelines of Abtan's other projects and during her schooling in Montreal. It's a collection of her favorite pieces, combining her love of electro-acoustic music with her love of found melody. Two of the songs that appear on the album are collaborations with Steven Stapleton of Nurse with Wound, recorded in Colin Potter's studio in Preston, England, when Abtan traveled there to play a show as part of Scribble Seven in March 2006 alongside Stapleton, Potter, Andrew Liles, Matt Waldron, Joolie Wood, and Maja Elliott.

Artist: ALMOND, MARC AND MICHAEL CASHMORE Title: Gabriel And The Lunatic Lover
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 DJ005
Price: $9.25 Label: Durtro / Jnana
Release
Date:		 5/5/08
***Gabriel and the Lunatic Lover is the first in a series of collaborative releases by Marc Almond and Michael Cashmore. The duo sets to music two poems by Count Stanislaus Eric Stenbock, the extraordinary 19th-century gay writer whose bizarre life of decadence, drug-addiction, alcoholism, and poetry-- coupled with Satanic, vampiric, and Catholic obsessions-- led to his early death at the age of 36 in 1895. Stenbock's final years, it is said, saw him accompanied everywhere by a life-size wooden doll that he called "le petit comte" and which he believed to be his son.

This two-track CDEP features vocals from the legendary Almond, who needs no introduction, and music composed and performed by Cashmore, well-known for his extensive catalog of recordings with Current 93 and Nature and Organisation, as well as for his work as a solo artist. The CD is housed in a beautiful full-color digipak that contains previously unpublished paintings of Almond by Russian artist Vania Soutavliov, a rare photograph of the enigmatic Count, and the complete texts to both poems.

The poems themselves originally appeared in two of Stenbock's fantastically rare volumes, Myrtle, Rue, and Cypress and The Shadow of Death, both republished in Current 93's David Tibet's Durtro Press volume The Collected Poems of Count Stenbock.

This is one of the most haunting and exquisite releases from either artist, and is presented in a package that fits the beautiful melancholy of the music, the vocals, and the spirit of Count Stenbock himself.

***Baby Dee's deluxe, double-CD retrospective set compiles all the music from her Little Window and Love's Small Song albums, originally available in limited numbers via World Serpent and long out-of-print. Also included are the tracks from her limited, mailorder-only EP Made For Love.

Baby Dee is a wonderfully distinctive performer, alternating between harp, accordion, and piano. Her voice harkens back to cabaret performers of old and appeals to fans of her friend Antony. Dee is also a member of Current 93 and is featured on the forthcoming Pantaleimon album.

The new Baby Dee record is scheduled for late Fall '07 and will be released by Drag City.

Artist: BILL FAY GROUP Title: Tomorrow, Tomorrow
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 1976CD
Price: $13.00 Label: Durtro - Jnana
Release
Date:		 1/24/05
***With the renewed interest in Bill Fay's past work, the reissue of his first two albums, Bill Fay and Time Of The Last Persecution, and recently made-available pre-Decca demos (From The Bottom Of An Old Grandfather Clock), it's surprising to discover that twenty new songs have remained unreleased for over two decades.

Fay has been portrayed as a mysterious figure who somehow created two brilliant albums and then vanished. But as Fay himself has said, "It wasn't me who left the music, it was the music business that left me." With no contract or record company support, he continued to write, rehearse and play occasional shows, which is how he met, in 1977, guitarist Gary Smith, electric and bowed bass-player, Rauf Galip, and drummer Bill Stratton-- also known as improvising trio The Acme Quartet. A mutual interest in and respect for each other's work led to the decision to collaborate as The Bill Fay Group.

Tomorrow, Tomorrow And Tomorrow continues Fay's tradition of writing thoughtful, life-affirming songs that, this time, benefit from extended studio sessions and input from three equally committed musicians. This CD does not consist of demos, outtakes or "alternative" versions of previously recorded songs. It was planned and recorded as Fay's followup to Time Of The Last Persecution. It is The Bill Fay Group's third, previously unreleased, album, recorded between 1978 and 1981.

Artist: CASHMORE, MICHAEL Title: Sleep England
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 001
Price: $13.00 Label: Durtro - Jnana
Release
Date:		 9/25/06
***Sleep England is the first solo release from guitarist Michael Cashmore, who has worked extensively with Current 93 and released albums with his own project Nature And Organisation.

Over the last fifteen years he's written a majority of the music on some of Current 93's most acclaimed albums including classics like Thunder Perfect Mind, Of Ruine Or Some Blazing Starre, Soft Black Stars, All the Pretty Little Horses and the recently released Black Ships Ate the Sky. Coupled with the lyrical stylings of David Tibet, Cashmore has established the group's reputation for producing some of the most challenging, profound and influential works in contemporary music. Cashmore has also recorded with Antony (Antony and the Johnsons), Nick Cave, Marc Almond and many others.

Incorporating only electric and bass guitars, Sleep England consists of twelve new and previously-unreleased tracks that together form a singular and very personal work. This album is essential for followers of Current 93 and Nature and Organisation and will also appeal to fans of Jack Rose, John Fahey and Bert Jansch.

Artist: CONNELLY, CHRIS Title: Episodes
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 DJ1984CD
Price: $13.00 Label: Durtro - Jnana
Release
Date:		 5/21/07
***Durtro Jnana are pleased to announce the release of the new CD by Chris Connelly, The Episodes. A native Scotsman, former member of Ministry and The Revolting Cocks and founding member of Fini Tribe, Connelly has collaborated with Cabaret Voltaire, Killing Joke, Robert Fripp and Jah Wobble, among many others.

After fronting some of the era's most popular and influential Industrial acts, he embarked on a very unique solo career in the early '90s. His music, drawing on orch-pop, glam, and classic singer-songwriter influences, has been compared to the likes of David Bowie, Scott Walker, and Robert Wyatt. The Episodes, Connelly's eighth full-length solo work, was produced by Joan of Arc's Tim Kinsella and Town & Country's Ben Vida. The album is timeless and unique with radical arrangements and a crack band culled from Califone, Joan of Arc, Town & Country, US Maple and other Chicago jazz and improv luminaries.

This 67-minute-long album is packaged in a beautiful full-color gatefold digipak. It was originally released by World Serpent in an edition of 1,000 copies which sold out immediately. This the album's second pressing, making it one of the rarer of the recent Current 93 albums.

Artist: CURRENT 93 Title: Inmost Light
Format: 3xCD Catalog
Number:		 DJ033
Price: $40.00 Label: Durtro - Jnana
Release
Date:		 4/16/07
***Durtro Jnana is proud to re-release of one of Current 93's most ambitious and enduring projects: the Inmost Light trilogy. Originally issued in 1995 as Hallucinatory Patripassianist Song, this set includes in their entirety the mini-albums Where The Long Shadows Fall, The Stars Are Marching Sadly Home, and the full-length All The Pretty Little Horses.

The band at the time of these recordings included David Tibet, Steven Stapleton, Michael Cashmore and Joolie Wood with guests Nick Cave, Jhonn Balance (Coil), Andria Degens (Pantaleimon) and Shirley Collins contributing vocals.

This series was inspired by visionary painter Louis Wain and author Thomas Ligotti (to whom a track is dedicated), nursery sing-songs and Christian heresies, most notably Patripassianism. In Current 93's hands, the traditional lullaby of the album title sparks an explosive torrent of bittersweet childhood memories and apocalyptic prophecies.

The musical setting for Tibet's narrative is exquisite-- kaleidoscopic compositions featuring 12-string guitar, piano, string arrangements, flutes, bells, massed drones, children's voices and ecstatic recitations. Together, the three movements make Inmost Light a powerful and extremely moving listening experience.

The three discs have been newly remastered and are housed in a deluxe eight-panel digipack with a twenty-four-page full-color booklet of photos of the group as children, a complete set of lyrics and liner notes.

***Beautiful whispering music of dreams gone to die created by STEVEN STAPLETON (NURSE WITH WOUND) with assistance from COLIN POTTER. Begun as a remix of the 1986 In Menstrual Night album, the record ended up as a new work of its own, with the original recordings subsumed into an atmosphere of fog and shadows.

***Originally released in 1994, Current 93's masterpiece Of Ruine Or Some Blazing Starre followed the classic Thunder Perfect Mind album and marked another leap forward for the band. Michael Cashmore's gorgeously delicate guitar, augmented by drones, bells, and sound manipulations, help to make this one of C93's most musically hypnotic albums, with David Tibet's vocals and text adding a quietly controlled power and drama virtually unsurpassed in the Current 93 canon.

***Durtro Jnana is delighted to make available again one of C93's most popular and enduring albums, Thunder Perfect Mind. The cover and booklet include the original artwork, which is somewhat amended with a new and contemporary photograph of David Late Tibet's face on the digifile cover; a Louis Wain cat on the cover of the booklet different from the Louis Wain cat which replaced Tibet's face on the previous second edition; photos newly reproduced from the original negatives; new Kalki artwork; and the texts to all the tracks in a full-color 28-page booklet.

Disc one consists of the studio album itself. All tracks have been remastered from the original tapes. Disc two contains all the studio out-takes from the TPM sessions, previously available as tracks on the Emblems and Calling for Vanished Faces compilations, as well as one previously unreleased, though very short, a capella piece that was left off the TPM studio album, "Red House." After a 10-second silence, live versions of songs from TPM that were previously available on the As the World Disappears? live CD (which is now deleted) are added. Once again, all tracks have been remastered from the original tapes.

***This is the first collection of new material from legendary psych folk giant Simon Finn since the release of his seminal album Pass the Distance. Recorded in a more personal and stripped down style and featuring Joolie Wood from Current 93 on violin!

Simon Finn's Pass The Distance is the forbearer for all the psych-folk that has been proliferating the airwaves over the past few years. All those brilliant Six Organs of Admittance and Fursaxa records you love owe a lot to this record. Finn was doing all the same things they are now, but he did it 30 years ago. That's what makes this album so impressive... This could easily be mistaken for something brand new. That's a feat in-and-of itself. --digitalindustries.com

***Finally, an official reissue of this reality-challenged, 1970 British dark acid folk classic. Sounding like Tom Rapp on a horror trip, Finn sets out on a journey of nightmarish folk, which knows no appeasement. The mania shining through is greatly enhanced by the ability of multi-instumentalist David Toop to play several different songs simultaneously, seemingly without relation to the songs the other two are playing. Guitars appear in the wrong key, song structure is blissfully ignored. Four extra tracks and a lavish 20 page booklet with liner notes by Simon Finn, David Toop, Vic Keary (of Mushroom records who originally released the album) and David Tibet of Current 93

Date:		 3/3/08
***Sharron Kraus is a singer/musician/songwriter with a gift for beautiful and heartbreaking songs from a deep-seated storytelling mythology. Her music, rooted in the folk traditions of England and Appalachia, is characterized by soil-rich vocals, haunting banjo, fine acoustic guitar, and visionary word-craft. Kraus's songs are populated by a carnival array of fatally charismatic characters, telling tales of enslavement, perversion, incest, obsession, love and death, and her live performances are stark, compelling, and delicate. She is like the roving storyteller, bringing tales of terror, sadness and joy to a stranger's hearth on a dark and stormy night.

The Fox's Wedding, Kraus's stunning new album, offers eleven original songs and a cover of "Trice Toss These Oaken Ashes" written by Thomas Campion.

Kraus has been featured in The Wire, Dirty Linen, New Folk Sounds, Arthur Magazine, Ptolemaic Terrascope and Broken Face. She has been interviewed on BBC Radio 3 and recorded sessions for BBC Radio Scotland, Freakzone on Radio 6, and independent radio stations across the US. Her fanbase includes veteran folkies Shirley Collins and Archie Fisher as well as indie figureheads Michael Gira, David Tibet, and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore.

Artist: NURSE WITH WOUND Title: Chance Meeting Of A Defective Tape Machine
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 UDAR010CD
Price: $13.00 Label: Durtro - Jnana
Release
Date:		 4/18/05
***Made on the occasion of STEVEN STAPLETON's first visit to the United States, this album revisits NWW's landmark 1979 debut LP Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella, twisting the album's familiar outsider free music into something totally different. The sounds warble, stretch and bend out of recognition creating a new and more disturbing environment. This destroyed version provided by Stapleton's American friend MATT WALDRON was so fascinating, Stapleton felt it had to be released. It is the first NWW CD to be released in the US. Packaged in a stark black digipak.

Artist: PANTALEIMON Title: Cloudburst
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 DJ003
Price: $9.50 Label: Durtro - Jnana
Release
Date:		 3/5/07
***Pantaleimon (pronounced "Pan-ta-lay-mon") is the adopted moniker of vocalist and composer Andria Degens. Sometimes collaborating with friends, though often alone, she creates beautifully haunting and meditative music.

Cloudburst, her first recording as Pantaleimon since 2002's Change My World, features four tracks of hypnotic vocal passages that together form a long conceptual piece, which, Degens says, "... is symbolic of the journey every human being makes in a lifetime ... the transformation, transfiguration, the state of being, the space between heaven and Earth."

Initially packaged with a limited, hand-printed edition of Degens's poetry and drawings, Cloudburst is now available as a proper CD release. None of the material on the EP will appear on the upcoming Pantaleimon full-length, due in late 2007.

Degens has been creating her own music since 1992 and her debut, the vinyl-only Trees Hold Time, is still highly sought after. She has recorded and performed with artists such as Wire, Dirty Three, Current 93, Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Matt Sweeney, Antony And The Johnsons, Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance), 16 Horsepower, Baby Dee, John Contreras and James William Hindle.

More recently Degens has contributed music to Cam Archer's film Wild Tigers I Have Known, Susan Stenger's (Band of Susans) Soundtrack for an Exhibition, and to projects by Irr. App. (Ext.) and Nurse With Wound.

Artist: PANTALEIMON Title: Mercy Oceans
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 DJ007
Price: $13.00 Label: Durtro - Jnana
Release
Date:		 11/5/07
***Mercy Oceans is the long-anticipated second full-length from Andria Degens. The album follows the critically acclaimed Cloudburst EP released earlier this year, and features Baby Dee, Isobel Campbell, Keith Wood (Hush Arbors), and John Contreras.

Mercy Oceans is an album of exceptional beauty and depth. All ten tracks are stunningly captivating. The CD comes packaged in a beautiful digipak with a full-color booklet containing lyrics, along with artwork by Beth Carter and photography by Cam Archer.

"Andria Degens is based in Hastings, southern England, but the sparse clarity of her music as Pantaleimon seems to exist in its own unique, indefinable space.... Its vivid simplicity is, in its own quiet way, quite stunning." --Tom Ridge, The Wire

"... Degens makes music which is so effortlessly gorgeous it almost defies belief. There is an icy simplicity to her compositions, a fragility or frailty maybe, and this gives them a soft, melancholy feel, which makes them almost impossible to forget. For some reason I am reminded of Jewelled Antler Collective man Steven R. Smith or possibly Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance), but what Degens has done is bring a feminine touch to the masses of male-dominated free folk." --Boomkat
