| Oneida - Anthem Of The Moon - 12 inch album on cool grey marble vinyl. ANTHEM OF THE MOON -- recorded in the stones by Oneida. Mixing and additional recording by Peter Katis at Tarquin Studios. Theres an awful lot of "psychedelic" music around these days, mostly of the gentle, sprightly, cosmic nature. It has seemed to Oneida for the past couple years that the world has forgotten a huge part of the critical essence of the psychedelic experience: anxiety, dislocation, alienation and half-formed terror. With ANTHEM OF THE MOON, theyre out to remind the world why psychedelia matters. Over the course of thirteen months, Oneida made repeated journeys to an array of Colonial-era ruins in the woods of western New England, where they had set up a small mobile recording unit in the midst of the stones. They recorded each of these trips, ending up with a massive trove of tape reels, from which the bulk of this album was distilled. Sounds of the stones and the night woods saturate the recorded music (including the ghostly screech of a barred owl on "Almagest"), literally and emotionally; the naked, anxious exhaustion, ecstasy, and paranoia that the listener hears are the real thing. ANTHEM OF THE MOON is a literal and figurative field recording -- of voices: animal and human, real and imagined, whimpers, moans, screams and incantations. Their trip is no picnic in the meadow -- its a journey into the stones. | |

| LAUNCH023 - RESIDUAL ECHOES - MFI-GBSP | View Details |
| Residual Echoes, the brain child of Adam Payne, pave a psych-sound unique to themselves. Recorded late 2005, this LP, exclusive to Rocket Recordings, features four long excursions into psychedelia that brings to mind the experimentation of early Pink Floyd, the guitar heroics of Youre Living All Over Me era Dinosaur Jr and the sonic groove of the Velvet Underground. Residual Echoes first self released album featured Adam and the inspirational forces of Ben Chasney (Six Organs of Admittance) and Ethan Miler (Comets on Fire) and the subsequent LP created enough of a stir on the underground to gain them the prestigious Album Of The Month from none other than Julian Cope on his Head Heritage website. Since then they have had their debut album, now highly sought after in its original vinyl format, re-released by Holy Mountain who also put out their highly acclaimed secondalbum which saw their sound reach new levels of psyche noise. Residual Echoes have also become a formidable live act playing shows around America with like-minded bands including Kinksi, Grey Daturas, OM and friends Comets on Fire plus a slot at the much talked about Arthurfest in LA last Summer. They are about to embark on a full US tour this Summer with label mates Mammatus and Plastic Crimewave in support. "Like eavesdropping the most lysergically inspired hippie commune jam" Mojo "As the American underground coalesces around vague notions of free rock, Residual Echoes are one of the precious few units that truly sound free in their own music" Time Out New York | |

| INV030LP - SOLAR FIRE TRIO - Solar Fire Trio - Debut LP | View Details |
| The Solar Fire Trio was founded by Ray Dickaty and Ray Jackson, two northwest sax players with a mission to combine the hard-edged exuberance and rebellious spirit of rock ‘n’ roll with the improvisational ethos of free jazz. After locating the best drummer for the job, Steve Belger, the trio is ready to go. Based on the principles of total collective improvisation, learned from years of playing in a wide variety of musical situations, combined with the love of the hard core drive and immediacy of rock music, the aim is to make improvised music stripped to its primal essence – energy & rhythm. Ray Dickaty (Tenor Sax) : Skree, Moonshake, Gallon Drunk, Spiritualized, The Duke Spirit, Dr John, Eddie Prevost, Damo Suzuki, Stereolab, Cornershop, Six by Seven, Duruti Column, AMP, Thighpaulsandra, Carlos Zingaro, Zukanican, Michael J Sheehy & Tom Chant. Dave Jackson (Alto Sax) : Paralysis, Chris Corsano, Evan Parker, Lol Coxhill, John Russell, Eddie Prevost.
