The magic moments of Sharam Shabpareh, front-man of Iranian garage legends The Rebels. ‘Blurting horns, evil bass grooves, cheesy organs, a thick strata of percussion going off like microwave popcorn.’

Anthony Maher’s 1988 dub album, an Australian commingling of JA science and UK post-punk and Industrial.

Effectively their third album, with seven songs from 1969, and seven instrumentals from the same vintage, completed in 1998, plus an outtake and a soundtrack piece. A fine addition to their two essential albums.

The first album-length collection of the recordings of this collaborator of La Monte Young, who contributes here: a diverse, diaristic compilation by Forti herself (with Yoshi Wada’s son Tashi) of never-before-released work from the early 60s to mid-80s, showcasing her use of voice and handmade instruments, folk songs and physical space; together with a 28-page colour booklet of her writings, drawings, and photos.

Compositions from 1969/70, when Forti was based in Woodstock, New York — ‘stoned in the woods,’ she recalls — around the time of the Festival, just before moving to California, and working and performing with Charlemagne Palestine.
The seven songs here were recorded in 2012 during her exhibition Sounding, at The Box gallery in Los Angeles. The blue vinyl carries an etching of Forti’s Illuminations Drawing on the flip; accompanied by a sixteen-page colour book with images of the original sheet music scored by Charlemagne Palestine.

Four members of Sonny Okosun’s band, edging things on in 1974: deep, spacey afro-funk.

Demdike Stare and Andy Votel.

Zany, Alaskan, harmonica-led electro-pop, with a case of Krautrock-and-the-Moroders, originally released in 1980.

Remastered direct from the original master tapes, with previously unreleased outtakes and rarities — including Patti’s 1975 RCA audition tape.
