New Releases

DAMO SUZUKI'S NETWORK DNW 026/027
"HOLLYARIS"

Damo's latest release from his neverending World Tour !
This time the 2 disc set is the musical travelogue from Hollywood and Paris. Disc one covers the Hollywood show, featuring his "american band" which includes Len del Rio and Tommy Grenas (FARFLUNG, CHROME) and the Paris Cd is his "pick up" band of french musicians..
The neat thing about Damo's travels is he is so eager to play with different musicians from as many countries, in turn it must be a thrill for these guys to play with a CAN Legend....

SECRET MACHINES CDW 49333
"The Road leads where it's led"

This british outfit makes no secret of who influenced their style.....NEU & Harmonia !...(unlike Tim Gane Of Stereolab who pretended not to be...yeah, like "Jenny ondoline" does not at all sound like NEU! )
This ( to my knowledge ) second outing see's the band cover Dylan (Girl from the North Country) , Van Morrisson's "Astral Weeks", and "money. that's what i want", but the whole disc is worth buying for their INCREDIBLE cover of " IMMER WIEDER" by Harmonia, from the "Deluxe" album. Ultracool !
( i can hear Mariano saying...."where's my copy ??"

Enjoy !
