Blonde Zeros - God Fried Finger [314-36]

Musicians as biological databases, subtle consciences that give their own memories a new employment. Those memories are redeemed from the tyranny of their original purposes and nostalgic reminiscence. Musicians as liberating - and rescued - souls.

Antonio Borghini & Malebranche - Six Dances Under [314-34]

These tunes are aimed to make structures where the sonic improviser has to live with the space bonds, and the body improviser has to live with the sound bonds. Movable structures whose overall meaning slips from the control of the individuals. It's the ultimate will to generate communication.

Einfalt - When The Teacher [314-33]

Einfalt is a neolanguage for chamber music improvisers, a labyrinthic speech to the wandering listeners.

Pospaghemme - L.O.V.E. [314-32]

Baritone sax and drums. Banjo and harmonica. A duo without boundaries, which uses its absurd logic to infringe the most sanctimonious listeners' taboos.

Rope - Saints And Sinners [314-31]

A hagiography that features a few saints and lots of sinners: it is the second recording effort from one of the most persuasive piano trios on the Italian scene, ...

Franco D'Andrea Quartet - Half The Fun [314-30]

Half The Fun is an instantaneous composition experiment, an unpredictable score conveyed by the sharp conversation of four equal voices.

Headless Cat - Blind Tail [314-29]

Disenchanted music, guided from a restless instinct. A journey that loves obstacles, sudden turns and uproarious cracks.

Giulio Corini Libero Motu - Off-Site Meetings [314-28]

Misty textures ripped by iridescent melodic events. Imaginative sketches, free from the genre pattern. Long sonic arcades slip into the bends of a silent space, while meetings of visionary artists happen covertly in the Europe of the crisis.

Piero Bittolo Bon Jump The Shark - Sugoi Sentai! Gattai!! [314-27]

If jazz is dead, if the great masters aren't as great as they used to be, if Charlie Parker and Miles Davis' music is a relic of the past, how can you explain this record?

Dimitri Sillato Playground - Periferiche sospese [314-26]

This band looks like a sort of anti-spaceship, a hand-crafted machine with a long range, well made and well driven. It doesn't make noises and cries, but a sound that smells of musk, damp ground, pulverized stone. It doesn't hurtle up, but down to a dark-toned musical world.

Gallo & the Roosters + Gary Lucas - The Exploding Note Theory [314-25]

You might describe his music as very mysterious, full of surprises, kind of chamber music that partakes equally of jazz, rock, folk, and world influences to arrive at a very distinctive sound of its own...

Mickey Finn + Cuong Vu - Gagarin! [314-24]

Electric sounds spreading in dreamlike and restless landscapes, haunted by low-fi ghosts.

Tirodarco - Tirodarco [314-23]

Animals of silence emerged from the light of the free wood, from nests and bushes, and it was clear that not for guile, not for fear they were closed in themselves and silent, but they were intent to listen.

Houdini's Cage - Memories of a Barber [314-22]

How to deal with styles and repertoires coming from the past with a contemporary feeling, avoiding both revivalism and up-to-date deconstructionism? How to match lost and old-fashioned tunes with newborn themes?

Schmittmenge Meier - R.E.A.L. [314-21]

From the set theory, an intersection of two bodies: K (Köln --> Cologne) and B (Berlin), consisting of all elements that can be found in both K and B (in German it's called Schnittmenge).

Einfalt - cm 12x12 [314-20]

Beauty does not tolerate the ritual and the iteration of ritual. She is naked, unique, irreplaceable. She dreams, she makes the others dream, she creates worlds and worlds of dreams, also creates reality. Beyond Myth.

Meshuge Klezmer Band - Musiker! [314-19]

MKB's new musical exodus "narrates" to us, like a musical Chatwin, the gestures of Sam Musiker, Jewish Clarinet player from the postwar Big Apple, who with his recording Tanz (made with his father-in-law Dave Tarras, also a clarinet player, one of the greats of klezmer music) wrote one of the defining works of contemporary klezmer music.

Rollerball - La clinica del rasoio [314-18]

Rollerball is the first human combustion engine and consists of five simple pistons, all manufactured in various Italian regions. This is its remarkable strength. World unique, Rollerball is a device that produces loud, rolling, blurred sounds.

Orange Room - Orange Room [314-17]

Beppe Scardino's two sides are well-represented in this work; on one side you'll find the sardonic Livorno native, salacious and shrewd. On the other side lies the tender, reflective, impassioned mediator.

Stefano Senni Saul Bass - Psychocandy [314-16]

Psychocandy: a soft acid trip with the unusual guitar brotherhood Volpi/Terragnoli: two worlds meeting through their extreme differences. Rather than emerge, the two guitars help crafting the plot of the bassist's quartet.

Standhard3io & Silvia Donati - Cocktail Saturno [314-15]

You, drink Cocktail Saturno! Raise the glasses! Toast! The blue color and intense flavor will take you into a cosmic and interstellar travel to enjoy very close the galaxy of a changing and amending flavour, like a chameleon.

Giulio Corini Libero Motu - Libero Motu [314-14]

Placid, kammerspielt-like encounter of three individuals who show their temperaments to each other, like being in front of a mirror.

Daniele D'Agaro Adriatics Orchestra - Comeglians [314-13]

Free clashes of the "Furlania" (lands of Friuli) in that of the comelican valley, recorded during the small jazz festival organized by D'Agaro in August 2006. Gluttony allegiance towards its own free jazz background, as if it were the first time.

Zeno de Rossi Shtik - Me'or 'Einayim [314-12]

Me'or 'Einayim is a precious collection of songs coming from the heart of contemporary Jewish culture. It is the clear definition of a common ground, skipping through time and space yet maintaining a sense of shining, desperate vitality ...

Wergeld - Achtung! [314-11]

Achtung is an extraordinary work on the quality, weight and density of the single sonoric events therein, and the faculty of organizing them within a continuum which is a vehicle for deep esthetic sensations. It is an unimpeded descent into the territories of surprise, a vertiginous mapping, in real time, of the many worlds which exist in the linguistic universe of new jazz.

Mickey Finn - Dudek! [314-10]

Music in its purest state. Improvisation intended as a method of instant collective composition. Sonorous symbols which are as bare and essential as Zen aphorisms are dropped onto hypnotic and feverish pulsations.

Achille Succi e Salvatore Maiore - Pequenas Flores do Inferno [341-9]

A dialogue between deep and conscious sensibilities. An exploration into the extreme resources of the two instruments, led among extraordinarily mobile and varied tonal colours.

Henry Taylor - Crooning The Anger [314-8]

Distinct traces in the air. Clarity of direction. Miraculously changing emotive geometry. The music which Enrico Sartori presents us with in this CD is dense and multidirectional.

Rootless - Brian Had A Little Plate [314-7]

Roots torn-out in order to enter into a practice of creative nomadism, to wander far from dogmas and preordained linguistic behaviour.

Zeno de Rossi Sultry - Plunge [314-6]

Instantaneous references to creative intuitions above a solid floor of composition. An exchange of suggestions between Europe and New York.

Gallo and the Roosters - Todo Chueco [314-5]

A surprising alliance of instruments which are usually confined to the hidden side of the music. A superb creative plot, a magnificent conspiracy against the institution of anaemic and well-mannered jazz.

Enrico Terragnoli Orchestra Vertical - L' Anniversaire [314-4]

Songs which let their sophisticated construction slide onto the rails of the most hypnotic and mysterious rhythm that exists.

Rope - Have You Met Miss Bates? [314-3]

Wandering about between Jelly Roll Morton and Duke Ellington, between Bill Triglia and John Zorn on routes dear to Thelonious Monk and Herbie Nichols and further.

Full Metal Klezmer - Shachor [314-2]

Instrumental melodic lines which become fixed in the mind, which take their time before moving part of themselves somewhere new.

Meshuge Klezmer Band - Treyf 1929 [314-1]

Some Klezmorim on this side and the other side of the ocean engage in a challenge with time and space on the words of a fascinating and meshuge tale.
