Wow! Look At That Old Man

by admin on September 10th, 2007

Is he rock and roll, or is he rock and rolling
when he should be quietly bowling?

Long time ago in my cassette label days I released two tapes with the great british band The Cleaners From Venus. Since then, frontman Martin Newell have made several wonderful records, sometimes with help from people like Louis Philippe, Andy Partridge and Captain Sensible.

Martin have just released his sixth (I think) solo album, “A Summer Tamarind” and it’s his best so far.
Martin turned 50 the other year, so he’s not THAT old, but with a song title like that… well, he asked for it. But age doesn’t matter when it comes to really good music. Just look at Burt Bacharach and Paul McCartney.

Ok everybody, go to www.martinnewell.co.uk or www.cherryred.co.uk (or play.com or…) and get this now!!

Swedish experimental music coming up

by admin on September 10th, 2007

You’ve already seen the sleeve to Green’s Restaurant “Ekofiskfält” on the website for a while. This wonderful nugget was originally released 20 years ago as a tape, and for each year we celebrate with an extra bonus track. The CD comes with liner notes by Testbild!’s Petter Herbertsson (a.k.a Sjtjekn). Scheduled for release in october or november, but you don’t need to wait that long to hear a first sample: just tune in our next podcast.

Later this winter it’s time for another Swedish experimental classic; Datahysteri’s “27 Visions Of The Door”. This duo from Sigtuna made several great tapes in the late 80’s and “27 Doors” was one of the best. Of course with several bonus tracks.
