howdy all,
huh, snow. and me and the boy biked to school this morning. oh well. not a heck of a lot of new stuff in this week, but that’s quite alright cuz you should be more interested in the used stuff we got this week anyway. read on….
…..pick of the week…..
cbc archives!!!
– you may have read or heard in the news that the cbc was liquidating their music archives. what maybe wasn’t clear in what you may have read, was that a lot of stuff was being sent to toronto to keep one centralized and as complete as possible. so after that happened, i was able to go in and pull some stuff for the shop. now, contrary to what one would think, and likely due to the fact that this archive has been moved a few times prior to this location, it was not necessarily the treasure trove that one would expect, not to say i didn’t pull some pretty cool records, but there were not any truly mega rare canadian gems or anything like that. but there are over 500 really cool used records sitting here just waiting for you to rifle through and take home a part of the cbc’s edmonton archive. everything i grabbed is in vg+ or better condition as far as the vinyl itself is concerned. hell, many of these things have never been played. the covers are a different matter, while they are all intact and in reasonably good condition, they did come from a radio archive, so they are taped along the spines and have cataloging stickers on the covers. some a lot more than others, some it all peels off and leaves nary a trace, others it’s on there for good, but things are being priced accordingly, so as long as you are more concerned with listening to the record than putting the cover in a frame on your wall, there are some really great lps here at really nice prices. due to the quantity of stuff, i’m not going to list everything, but i have listed some below in the …..used….. section to give you an idea of what is in here to motivate you to come and dig through this stuff before it’s all gone.
…..new arrivals…..
axxess – novels for the moons – medical – lp
– “originally released in 1983, axxess is the brainchild of french multimedia artist patrick mimran. heavily influenced by german electronic pioneers klaus schulze, tangerine dream, and kraftwerk, mimran commissioned the german engineer andreas bahrdt to build a custom complex synthesizer which eventually materialized into a sixteen voice analog synthesizer of genius proportions. this will certainly appeal to fans of early progressive synth records, sequencer-heavy tangerine dream period, cosmic disco, and other lovers of all things early-electronic.”
burial/four tet – nova – text – 12″
– one-sided limited 12″ from burial and four tet.
fenn o’berg – in hell – editions mego – lp
– superb collection of fenn o’berg jams from their 2010 japan tour. while maintaining the sophistication of the in stereo sessions and tour, these recordings hark back to some classic 20th century fenn o’berg fare, complete with the odd cheeky samples. fenn o’berg are: christian fennesz, jim o’rourke and peter rehberg.

*lee ranaldo – between the times and the tides – matador – lp/cd
– sonic youth guitarist lee ranaldo puts out his first proper, song-oriented studio album. recorded with longstanding sonic youth producer john agnello, the album is a shimmering and melodic tapestry of rock sounds. ranaldo’s trademark alternate-tuning guitar work is at the forefront, but it is amplified by brilliant leadwork from wilco’s nels cline on every track. also includes sonic youth’s steve shelley on drums, alan licht on guitar, and john medeski on keyboards.
rocket juice & the moon – s/t – honest jons – cd
– the debut album from super-group rocket juice & the moon. comprised of damon albarn (blur), flea (red hot chili peppers) and tony allen (fela kuti) with erykah badu, fatoumata diawara, cheick tidiane seck, m.anifest and hypnotic brass ensemble. a triumphant exploration and proliferation of kinetic afro-funk rhythms: organic, exuberant, communal music-making. from the inaugural bars, the liquid pulse of fela kuti’s classic recordings drives the action through a suite of 18 shape-shifting compositions.
scuba – personality – hotflush – lp
– now in on vinyl! scuba is the production and dj alias of paul rose, the curator of hotflush recordings, a label which, having released some of the most important tracks of the formative period of dubstep, has grown into a leading player in the wider world of electronic music. features 11 brand-new tracks and takes in a wealth of genres across contemporary dance music, proving once again scuba’s place at the cutting-edge of the electronic music scene.
