Lean later work from Philippe Doray and his anti-social associates – material that draws heavily on some of the cold wave electronics of the early part of the 80s, and which also has some of the playful presence of the German new wave too! The music is definitely out of time – very ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(CD includes bonus material – unreleased Doray tracks, including work in the Crash duo!)
Godlike work from the legendary Nick Drake – and exactly the kind of record that's made him a continuing legend over the years!

Really great work from Arnold Dreyblatt – a set that's almost a distillation of his excited strings material from many years back, taken into rock minimalism territory that almost seems to tie it to early projects from composer Glenn Branca too!

Memphis power pop from Van Duren – insistent and nearly as catchy as the midwest and west coast practitioners of the era – but with a bit more of an elastic, loose limbed, and measured approach to the songwriting!

(Original pressing with Masterdisk stamp. Cover has light ring impressions and some application wrinkles in back.)
Bob Dylan's fourth record, and close runner up to Freewheelin' as the masterpiece of this early stage of his career.
