SORRY.

Hard to believe a month has gone by already but it's most definitely that time again! More adventures in modern music, this month, grime-lord Wiley on the cover, inside, Ukrainian electronic musician Zavoloka, Dutch lutenist Jozef Van Wissem, Swiss guitar / electronics improvisor Tomas Korber, a global ear on San Francisco, artist / musician Brian Duffy, an Invisible Jukebox with Vibracathedral Orchestra's Neil Campbell, The Sea And Cake, Brazilian avant bossa trio Kassin + Mareno + Domenico (featuring the son of Caetano Veloso), plus the usual assortment of reviews, record, show, print, installation and otherwise, and an last page Epiphany from write Michael Faber about discovering mysterious music on the streets of Budapest.

Wire Thicket is the duo of Alex Cobb, aka Taiga Remains and Students Of Decay head honcho, and field recorder and musician David Kirby (whose Inside, It Is Ringing cd-r we just discovered a few more copies of, it's relisted elsewhere on this list!) and this is as far as we know their only release. Self avowed practitioners of "power drone", the main track here is a single 15 minute chunk of slow burning low end smolder, that thickens as the track progresses, layer upon layer, the tones shimmering and burning white hot, soaring, moaning, almost a symphony of deep resonant tones, by the final few minutes, the tone has shifted from corrosive and ominous to effulgent and sun dappled, serious Sunroof! ur-drone territory, massive and epic and heavy, yet mesmerizing and meditative. The sort of track that deserves to drone on forever and ever. There's a second shorter track, a minimal hushed coda of sorts, a glimmering whisper drifting ghostlike over a vast black expanse, a little bit new age-y, a bit black ambience, the perfect comedown chill out after the exhaustive and cathartic first track. Packaged in a mini 3" jewel case with a printed full color cover. Limited to 100 copies, but looong out of print, we have only a handful left, and you know what that means...

MPEG stream: Dust, Static
MPEG stream: Brilliant Dead Highways: Revisited

...can't live without it: The Wire! Another monthly installment of adventurous music coverage from our friends in England. This, the July issue, has been eagerly anticipated 'round these parts due to its cover feature on Keiji Haino. Yay! We just got it in today, so we haven't read the article yet, but we expect writer Alan Cummings, already a Tokyo psych expert and Haino authority, to delve deep and insightfully into his world. Another big AQ fave, Philip Jeck, is interviewed this month, along with features on DJ/Rupture, the WordSound label, and John Coltrane, etc. Plus a Nurse With Wound Primer, and of course tons of reviews. A good ish indeed! (We see from Haino's cover pic that he -- now 50 years old -- is showing some more gray in his hair. What if he also slowly adjusted his all-black wardrobe into shades of gray and then to all-white as his hair fades? Wouldn't that be cool?)

THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.

SORRY. The English-speaking world's leading journal devoted to the hippest of rock, jazz, electronica, dub, etc. On the cover: Asian Dub Foundation. Other features include MC5 guru John Sinclair doing the "Invisible Jukebox", articles on the Schimpfluch noise collective, SF's own avant rock brutes Oxbow (yay!), and a trio of pieces focusing on free jazz legend Albert Ayler, Ayler bassist Henry Grimes, and the Shandar Records label. Plus a zillion reviews, news, etc. AND, this is the year-end "2002 Rewind" issue, so you can peruse the Wire's Top 50 Albums Of The Year list (#1: Sonic Youth) and read about what various artists and writers thought about the year that was. These lists are sure to spark some dissension, 'round AQ they did anyway!

SORRY. Still pretty essential to anyone trying to keep up with 'new music', the UK's Wire magazine is here again with another monthy installment.

There's a Primer on 'Spectral Music', and this year's Burning Man rates 2 pages as well. Then there's lots more, the usual plethora of reviews and such.

Also this issue: a eulogy for John Peel, Irr.App.(Ext.), a Finnish Underground report (Kemialliset Ystavat, Avarus, Es...), Greg Davis, an Invisble Jukebox with Sun Ra saxophonist Marshall Allen, all the usual reviews and such, and a big section called "In Praise Of The Riff" (with 'the riff' meaning a lot of different things to a lot of different people, apparently). Too bad they had to diss on metal so hard in the process...

THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.

SORRY. James Murphy (of LCD Soundsystem, not the death metal guitarist) graces the cover of this month's issue of The Wire, which is also the "2004 Rewind" issue. Ah, 2004. Bad year for politics, good year for music, and various musicans and Wire contributors comment on both.

Edwin Pouncey talks about Earth, Corrupted, Sleep, Abruptum, Khanate, Leviathan, Boris, SunnO))), etc. -- lots of our faves. Wow, there's more metally stuff here than the last year's worth of Wire's combined! Although, as opposed to noisy-avant-sludge-drone stuff made by hipster types, there's really not so many actual full-on metal albums discussed in depth. And we wonder if Ulver's Nattens Madrigal would even be there if that band hadn't latter morphed into an electronica act. Still it's a good sign of what we hope might be the Wire's newly expanded coverage of metal, which has been creeping up and up anyway.

On the cover (and what a great photo!): MF Doom aka Madvillian aka Viktor Vaughn aka King Geedorah. Also, inside: this week's AQ Record Of The Week honoree M.

Plus a primer on Grime, and all the other usual regular features and reviews.

Inside: AQ-fave Boris, Josephine Foster, The Complainer, Annie Gosfield, Steve Beresford (doin' the Invisible Jukebox), Kali Z Fasteau, Foetus, Alex Von Schlippenbach, and a full color photo of Martin Schmidt's (of Matmos) NAKED BUTT!!! Being SPANKED by Drew Matmos. YOWZA!!

Uh oh. Titled "Laugh Til It Hurts", this is the comedy edition of The Wire! There's a 14 page special section devoted to humor-in-music, touching on everyone from John Fahey to Derek Bailey to Blectum From Blechtum to Frank Zappa (natch) to Masonna and Sun Ra. More serious subjects elsewhere this ish include Tod Dockstader and The Books, along with an Invisible Jukebox session with Mark Stewart of The Pop Group.
