OCH052LCD FERAL WAVES

'Upside Down'  CD Album

Feral Waves is the new project from Ant Walker, guitarist with 'the Land of Nod' and the man behind the 'Lakescene' and 'Pulsar' releases on Ochre. 'Upside Down' features a more conventional guitar based, song driven approach. Melodic, Psychedlic Pop/Rock reminiscent of early Stone Roses or the Verve and reminiscent of some of the Church's finest earlier recordings.


OCH051LCD LONGSTONE

'Kabuki'  CD Album

West Country electronic experimentalists Longstone return to Ochre Records for the release of their 6th studio album, Kabuki. Recorded in the autumn of 2008, Kabuki has six sections with a total duration of 43 minutes and 36 seconds . All six members of the current live band participated in the studio recordings, making this the most complete Longstone band recording to date. If you were at any of last year’s gigs, then this album comes very close to representing the recent live sound of the band. The experimental electronica of Mike Cross and Mike Ward blend organically with improvised woodwind , percussion and guitar, creating a fascinating suite of music - ranging from alien soundscapes , through to Krautrock infused, beat driven workouts.

“We started by working up some new tracks as a live band during rehearsals and then recorded the results, eventually recording the entire set as a single take. After a few attempts at this the best version was chosen to which were added extra sax and percussion overdubs could be added. We feel this approach allowed us to capture the improvised nature of the Longstone live sound for the CD, whilst still retaining the flexibility of a studio recording".


OCH049LCD THIGHPAULSANDRA

'Rape Scene'  CD Album

‘Rape Scene’ is the third studio album from THIGHPAULSANDRA and follows on from the hugely successful ‘I Thighpaulsandra’ and ‘Double Vulgar’ albums that were released on Coil’s own legendary Eskaton label. Both albums that literally go way beyond genre categorization.Thighpaulsandra is also a full-time member of both Coil and Spiritualized and also is one-half of the Queen Elizabeth project with Julian Cope as well as being a former member of Cope’s group. ‘Rape Scene’ also features Spiritualized bassist Martin Schellard and Rocketgoldstar’s Siôn Orgon. ‘Rape Scene’ features three lengthy, intriguing, pieces of around fifteen minutes. ‘Joyful Misuse Of The Gomco Clamp’, ‘The Busy Jew’ and ‘His Lavish Showroom’.


OCH048LCD MIKE RANDLE

'Barstool Blues'  CD Album

‘Mike Randle is lead guitarist in Arthur Lee's Love. Mike hails from Los Angeles and has become an integral part of the current Love line-up, not only on lead guitar but on backing vocals as well and has worked with Arthur in Love since 1993. 'Barstool Blues' has a very laid back summery feel to it, think of Californian sunshine and the Beach Boys and if that's what you're after, then you will not be disappointed.


OCH047LCD CHARLES ATLAS

'To the Dust From Man You Came and to Man You Shall Return'  CD Album

CHARLES ATLAS are back with 'To The Dust...', the new album which is the follow up to the 'Worsted Weight' album, also released on Ochre. It is the fifth album from this San Francisco outfit and is, once more, beautifully recorded. Charles Wyatt and Matt Greenberg have benefitted from the enlistment of Sacha Galvagna (formerly of Mute's Rosa Mota). Sacha joined prior to the recordings of 'Worsted Weight' and once again on this new album, his focused playing continue to refine the band. This album possesses a curious combination of beauty and dislocation which includes a mature and atmospheric selection of pieces ranging from delicately treated piano flourishes, viola drones and other worldly synth bleeps. Gentle and eerie pieces are juxtaposed with unsettling musical collages.


OCH046LCD ELECTRIC KOOL AID

'My True Intent is for Your Delight'  CD Album

ELECTRIC KOOL AID is the project of West Country recording artist Curtis Lewis. ‘My True Intent Is Your Delight’ is an album full of glorious colourful laid back grooves that would not sound out of place alongside the likes of Royksopp, Boards Of Canada, Air or New Order. The album also possesses a feel not too dissimilar to the highly critically acclaimed Skyray ‘Mind Lagoons’ release on Ochre from a couple of years back. Electric Kool Aid has recently been working with fellow Ochre act Longstone who guest on this the debut E.K.A album. The debut Electric Kool Aid 12” ‘Everybody’s Groove’ was single of the month in Jockey Slut and soon sold out of it’s pressing. Lewis’s musical career began in 1996 as one half of the legendary Bass Cadets.


OCH045LCD GRACE AND DELETE

'Grace and Delete'  CD Album

Debut album from the duo of Chris Cundy [bass clarinet] and James Dunn [electronics] who have worked together since 1996. Recorded by Chris Trent under the dome of the regency Pittville Pump Room in Cheltenham, the music reflects a contrasting world of incredible noise and, at times, devastating proportions. The materials used, nonetheless, are relatively restricted; bass clarinet (played acoustically), a Casio keyboard (circuit-bent) and a defunct tinnitus analyser (is this music trying to detect alien noises where there should be silence?). This fairly limited set up helps to define the albums incredible compression of ideas and musical statements, which tend to swell and quake like the strange familiarity of micro-biological explosions.


OCH044LCD MELLOW DRUNK

'Never Sleep at Night'  CD Album

Mellow Drunk are a five piece currently taking San Francisco by storm. Led by Leigh Gregory on vocals and guitar the group also features ex-Spectrum, Smallstone and ex co-founding Brian Jonestown Massacre member Rick Maymi on guitar. The line-up is completed with Daniel Dietrick (ex-Your Precious You) on bass and vocals, Steven Cavorretto (Dora Flood) on keyboards, trumpet and vocals, and Patrick Harte (ex-The Rosemarys) on drums. The group have been compared to the likes of THE CHURCH, THE ONLY ONES, RAIN PARADE and THE BYRDS to name but a few whilst a recent live review in the San Francisco Weekly compared the track ‘Queen Of the Night’ to classic Bowie!

With the release of their debut album ‘Always Be Drunk’ in 2000, and the CDEP ‘Everybody Knows You’re a Star’, San Francisco’s Mellow Drunk have quickly established themselves as purveyors of finely arranged melodic pop tunes, as well as favourites on the West Coast club circuit. Supergrass, Luna & Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci have all had the band open for them when they’ve been in town. Not content to be only local heroes, there’s a loyal following gathering around the globe too, all hooked on the fragile beauty of the songs, their touch of melancholy that brings hope, their closeness.

Now, a few long nights later spent working up new arrangements and ideas into shape, the band are ready to return with their sophomore effort ‘Never Sleep at Night’.


OCH043LCD APPLECRAFT

'The Happiest Man Alive'  CD Album

APPLECRAFT are the duo DON MANDARIN and MIKE MOONEY (Lupine Howl and ex-Spiritualized / Julian Cope). The ‘Happiest Man Alive’is is the follow up to the critically acclaimed Applecraft’s debut album release ‘The Shining City On The Hill’. Mooney for years was Julian Cope’s guitarist and a highlight was the awesome guitar solo on Cope’s ‘Safe Surfer’ track on the classic Peggy Suicide album. Mooney was also, along with Sean Cook and Damon Reece, one of three famously sacked members of Spiritualized who went on to form Lupine Howl. Don Mandarin meanwhile (aka Rich Beale of Pregnant) has had critical acclaim in his own right with the excellent ‘This Is Quo Country’ album release on Swarfinger.


OCH042LCD STYLUS REMIXED BY EXPERIMENTAL AUDIO RESEARCH

'Exposition'  CD Album

Stylus is Welsh experimentalist and Peel favourite Dafydd Morgan. E.A.R. is the experimental project of Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3, Spectrum). Sonic states about the remix CD "It's about 10 or 12 of Dafydd's tracks made into a 52+ minute soundpiece with me doing extra sounds and processing alongside and joining tracks. You'll dig it. It's mainly using the electronic pieces". Sonic has only used tracks taken from the Stylus Ochre releases.

OCH040LCD MIGU

'Migu'  CD Album

Migu is Cornelius drummer Yuko Araki. This is the debut Migu album and features one track; 'Train Run' which is a collaboration with Cornelius (Keigo Oyamado). Anyone who has seen Cornelius live over the past few years will have witnessed the amazing powerful drumming of Yuko and here her innovative style is highlighted on this her debut album. Yuko's versatility comes to the fore on several of the racks with not only drums and percussion but also vocals, flute and synth playing with even a string quartet appearing on the track 'Drive Strings'. Scattered beats in a mix of poetry and song. In parts the album echoes the more experimental side of Cornelius.


OCH039LCD VARIOUS ARTISTS

'Seasons'  CD Album Deleted

OCH038LCD MARCONI UNION

'Under Wires and Searchlights'  CD Album Deleted

OCH037LCD CHARLES ATLAS

'Worsted Weight'  CD Album

Worsted Weight is the new album from San Francisco based three-piece Charles Atlas. The album is the follow up to last year's critically acclaimed 'Felt Cover' album on Static Caravan Records. An album that not only garnered the praises of the Sunday Times, Careless Talk Costs Lives and Comes With a Smile but was also singled out by Charles Atlas's peers such as Her Space Holiday, Pram, ISAN and yellow6.
While previous records have been largel improvisational, moulded from extemporized bits of answering machine recordings and studio intensives, 'Worsted Weight' is the product of an increasingly reflective approach to songwriting. The band spent much of 2001 studying their sound and trying out new material live, sharing the bill with Papa M, Bright Eyes, Greg Weeks, Her Space Holiday, Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Radar Brothers amongst others. Charles Atlas has also benefited from the recent enlistment of Sacha Galvagna (formerly with Mute's Rosa Mota). The restrained beauty of Sacha's playing focused and refined the band's sound and provided the perfect fulcrum for the ornate-minimal balancing act that has become the Charles Atlas hallmark.


OCH036LCD THE LAND OF NOD

'Inducing the Sleep Sphere'  CD Album

Inducing the Sleep Sphere is the eagerly anticipated new studio album from Cheltenham duo The Land of Nod. It sees them, once again, conjure up those dreamy soundscapes so reminiscent of their contemporaries such as the Spacemen 3, Windy & Carl and The Durutti Column. Music that takes the listener off to that indescribable other-worldly place. Surreal, ethereal and blissed-out, where time stands still! Several tracks on the new album also posses music with a kraut-psych feel that can only be described as a mixture of Neu!, Can Cluster and even the 13th Floor Elevators and The Seeds. The track 'Eddy' is taken from the radio session that the band recorded for the legendary Serbian Radio Station B-92 in May 2002.

Kawabata Makoto is the chief guru of Japanese outfit ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE & THE MELTING PARADISO U.F.O. 'Infinite Love' is the latest solo release from Kawabata and is without doubt, one of his finest solo releases to date. A release that could only be described as a pure heavenly slice of blissed out space rock.
On his solo recordings Kawabata states "When I play any sort of instrument - not just guitar - I never think that it's me making the music. In my head I constantly hear sounds from the cosmos. I believe that these sounds are constantly there, all around us. I'm just the receiver in a radio, picking up these sounds and transforming them with my hands into a form that everyone can hear. I'm constantly striving to become a better receiver - picking up sounds from ever higher dimensions, picking them up ever more precisely, reproducing them ever more exactly. That's my aim."
