We Are Him is the fifth album from Angels of Light, the main vehicle for Michael Gira's music since he disbanded Swans in 1997. Gira is also known lately as the label master and in-house producer for Young God Records, responsible for the likes of Devendra Banhart, Akron/Family, and Lisa Germano, among many others, further widening the scope and influence of his 25 years of music-making. We Are Him is a potent new chapter in a fiercely individual and remarkable musical journey. Backing/contributing musicians include Akron/Family, Bill Rieflin (Ministry, Swans, Robert Fripp, and currently drummer for both Robyn Hitchcock and REM), Julia Kent (Antony and the Johnsons) Christoph Hahn (longtime Angel and former Swan) and many, many more...
Without any doubt, one of the best album of 2007 !

LP-only release. This is the third full-length release by KTL, the formidable collaboration between Stephen O'Malley (SunnO))), Khanate, etc.) and Peter Rehberg (Pita, etc.). Another soul-destroying follow-up to the highly-acclaimed 2, with more accompaniments created for the theatre piece, Kindertotenlieder by Gisele Vienne and Dennis Cooper, which premiered in Brest, France, March 2007. Perhaps the broadest bulletin from the duo thus far, featuring two contrasting tracks. The layered dementia bliss of "Loud Game" counterbalances the fried dub of "Sunday." Stephen O'Malley (strings, fx, amps, tube osc.); Peter Rehberg (digital osc, apps, drives). Produced by Stephen O'Malley & Peter Rehberg on location at Vienne Wintergarden, Grenoble & Manoir Kéroual, Guilers, July 2006 and February 2007. One-sided heavyweight vinyl and etching by Savage Pencil (SAVX), packaged in a tip-on style outer sleeve, heavyweight inner sleeve and sticker.

Deluxe gatefold double vinyl version of the 2nd KTL album (CD released earlier on Editions Mego). "KTL is Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), Khanate) and Peter Rehberg (Pita) -- a threatening collaboration taking in parallel worlds of extreme computer music and black metal. 2 is the devastatingly beautiful four part follow up to the acclaimed self-titled debut and was recorded in a former abattoir in Angers, as well as a 16th century manor in the extreme west of France. Taking the blueprint that was laid out on the first record even further, with the ecstatic build up of 'Theme,' the near psychedelic 'Abattoir,' and closing with the twisted romanticism of 'Snow 2.' An upgrade both artistically and emotionally. As with the first album, elements appeared in the finished version of the theatre piece 'Kindertotenlieder' by Gisele Vienne and Dennis Cooper, which was premiered in Brest, France, in March 2007."

Subtitled: New Directions in Brazilian Music in the 1970s. "Soul Jazz Records follow up to their incredibly successful Tropicalia: A Revolution in Sound mixes Brazilian funk, rock, samba and soul in equal measures. Brazil 70 follows Brazilian music in the 1970s in the aftermath of Tropicalia and as the country's dictatorship entered its most oppressive phase. Musicians and artists from the Tropicalia period of the late-60s such as Gilberto Gil, Rita Lee (Os Mutantes lead-singer) and Gal Costa entered a new phase mixing rock, funk, samba and soul alongside a wealth of like-minded new artists such as Novos Baianos, Raul Seixas, Nelson Angelo and Joyce and more. With the constant threat of imprisonment, artists nevertheless managed to produce radical music that, like Tropicalia before it, managed to deal with questions of identity, sexuality and society in a revolutionary manner. Brazil 70 chronicles this period in Soul Jazz Records customary style with extensive sleeve-notes, exclusive photography and killer tunes! Vinyl comes on super-loud DJ pressing."

"Soul Jazz Records release an album of rarities and alternate versions from New York punk-funk legends ESG. ESG are the Scroggins sisters Renee, Valerie and Marie, hailing from the South Bronx. Their place in history is legendary, placing them at the heart of post-punk, hip-hop and New York dance music. From playing the opening night of Manchester's Hacienda to the closing night of Larry Levan's Paradise Garage, ESG are a truly unique phenomenon. A South Bronx Story 2 gathers together rarities from the group's 25 year career (and still going strong!). Featuring alternate mixes of classic tracks such as 'You're No Good,' alongside the legendary New York cut-up mix of 'Moody' and 'The Beat (Dance To The Beat of Moody),' as well as super-rare tracks, out-of-print for over twenty years, makes this album essential for any ESG fan."

First release of a serie to be continued as and when the meetings and musical affinities. split-lp "half asleep-srx" is conceived as a double door on the universe of the female songwriting. side a : young belgian valérie leclercq (23) and his litlle sister oriane (20) performing as under the name of half-asleep. this time, they've decided to explore new melancholic and throbbing ways, oscillating between the reinterpretation (cold water, hot water is a second reading of half-sailor, song available on 'just before we learned to swim') and the improvisation around an existing melody structure (hell, bell; nowhere, somewhere). side b, sandra reignoux aka srx (france) exploits the possibilities of home recordings with disarming naivety and softness (you), whistling (silly whistle) and whispering, without neglecting to make swell the distortion and to leave free course to its anticonformist personality (regular). In order to join together the two girls in a common design, gwenola carrère, young belgian illustrator designed a plentiful and childish cover.
