Upper Wilds - Mars - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Schwarzkopf - Hansel & Gretel [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/01/2005

As is our ongoing mission at Atavistic, we're absolutely thrilled beyond repair to bring you music that sounds as FRESH & EXCITING now as it did 40s year ago a reissue of the work of seminal NO NEW YORKERS, Mars! Shamelessly artistic and equally as talented, Mars made their name and staked their claim on the late 70s NYC circuit by playing spectacular dives such as MAX'S, IRVING PLAZA & CBGB's. Deemed InchA language on the threshold of comprehensibilityInch, and loathed by many back in the day due to their absurdly ahead-of-their-time brilliance, we hereby bear witness & offer these legendary testimonies InchSounds Like tourtured children singing in seven different tonguesInch-LYDIA LUNCH. InchMars' obvious antecedents are The VELVET UNDERGROUNDInch -SOHO WEEKLY NEWS, 1978. They remain, for us, the eternal standard for skull-drilling, mixed doubles guitar rock

With his extensive artistic biography, Tim Berne is one of the most outstanding figures in American jazz. Rising star Gregg Belisle Chi, a connoisseur of Berne's music, has this year released the acclaimed album Koi, featuring interpretations of Tim Berne's compositions on solo acoustic guitar. With his extensive skills and immense sonic potential, he is earning a central place in the landscape of contemporary acoustic guitar. With Mars, these two exceptional musicians present their first duo album. All songs are penned by Tim Berne and enchant the listener with an intense interplay that is playful, poetic and sonically stunning. David Torn, who is responsible for the grandiose sound, writes in the liner notes InchSpace Music? no, nope Earth Music? well, yeah. Folk Music? well... i dunno, could be, but these songs on Mars are written by Tim & reimagined in-real-time by he & Gregg them 2 being edified by, appreciative & respectful of those who've come before, & especially those ones who stayed lit and busted their own asses & spirits in order to continue initiating the kinds of flames that push us all to strive to express & to feel things of life & lives that may otherwise be functionally inexplicable, and may even be ineffable, somehow.Inch
