(Post) Rock, 70s Jazz, Great Ambient and other things

September 10, 2009 - 05:29 PM

Some nice postrock (hate that term) and other things came in on vinyl today. Two Mono (Japan) LPs: One More Step and You Die (2LP) and Gone (3LP); Mum's Yesterday Was Dramatic...; The Books' Lost and Safe ($3 cheaper than I saw it at our competitor's the other day); and some Sunn0))). The Books' Lemon of Pink is also in the new arrivals on CD right now--not an item we see used too often.

We also got a heap of blues CDs in on Tuesday. The New Arrivals bin is pretty kickass at the moment, actually. There's also three new nice box sets: an Okeh set, a Roots & Blues set (both of those are terrific) and an 11 disc Massive Attack (scratch that, it sold)!

In the next week or so I'll also have some super nice vinyl pieces come in from other countries: in addition to the Candi Staton and Bettye Swanns (mentioned in a previous post and which are finally confirmed as shipped), there's some Elmore Judd, two fantastic Steve Reid LPs (Rhythmatism and Nova, one of my all-time favorite jazz albums), the ridiculously difficult to find for the longest time James Blackshaw LP The Cloud of Unknowing, Triple Burner's lovely album, and some very limited titles on SMTG: Anduin/Jasper TX's Bending the Light and Svarte Greiner's Man Bird Dress, each limited to just 300 copies. If you like ambient or drone and electronic music, these are terrific. Man Bird Dress's gorgeous silkscreened cover is pictured, above.
