Lydia Lunch - Queen Of Siam - CASSETTES

From the very first sounds on you get pulled into an emotional roller-coaster, get carried byepic anthems, shed tears at soulful ballads and celebrate, when heavy guitars and theangelic voice of drummer lady Katha Mia work together in perfect harmony. But the conceptfor the album was too refined, too good to not make more of it. And thus the band sets newstandards by telling the whole story of the young healer Aellin in their first ever earbook.There you can read the whole tragedy of the inquisitional era in 12 captivating chapters.And if that's not enough, you can also listen to the story in the audio-book version, whichwas read by no other than Katha Mia and Martin Engler, with his soothing, smoky voice,accompanied by the heart-warming melodies of InchThe Book Of FireInch-songs on piano.

Philip Glass' Academy Award-nominated music for the 2002 Stephen Daldry film, The Hours, is one of his finest scores, generating a mood of gentle melancholy and emotional depth. Anton Batagov has long been a faithful champion of Glass' piano music and here he offers, on the composer's own tag, the piano version of the score. It's beautifully controlled and, at times, overwhelming in it's ability to touch the heart. InchDistant Figure (Passcaglia for Solo Piano)Inch is a piece for piano that started life as a miniature and has been developed. Like The Hours, it's delicate, evocative, and exquisitely controlled.

Recorded in Los Angeles in 1982, 13.13 exists as document to the pandemonium of specters and potential serial killers who twisted the California Dream into a waking nightmare as they snaked through the boulevards, back yards and basements of a sun stroked paradise turning into a blood-soaked inferno of fear, paranoia, panic and lust killings. rich musical textures provided by members of seminal art punks The Weirdos - Dix Denney, Cliff Martinez, and Greg Williams - create a hypnotic backdrop to Lunch's evocative vocals and terrifying lyrics.
