A four track mini CD combining the never released two 10" vinyl 'Maus' and 'Die Hennen Zähne'. 'Die Hennen Zähne' opens with 'Die Kralle', actually a David Jackman track from his archive, recorded in the early 1980's. Next is the title track 'Die Hennen Zähne', a joyful noise not unlike some of the The New Blockaders / Organum material including the sound of broken glass and tibetan horns. 'Maus' is the centre piece of this mini album and typical 'old school' Organum. The album closes with the more quiet and haunting 'Kazi', a live improvisation featuring collaborator's Michael Prime and Emma O'Bong. Nice lttle 3" digipak. Ltd x 600 copies.

ORGANUM - 'Die Letzte Musik Vor Dem Krieg' 7" (Die Stadt)
"Two tracks recorded in 2003 with only a vague hint of the classic Organum sound. The drone material is there, but the sound is slightly similar to The New Blockaders, with the addition of random piano chords. On side two, there is the distorted sound of Tibetan horns added on a similar bed of sounds. It's a distinct break away from the pure Organum drone sound, with an interesting addition of new sounds that especially in 'Happy' works well. David Jackman/Organum still knows how to surprise his followers and is a remarkable conceptualist" [FdW]. Regular edition of 400 copies.

THE NEW BLOCKADERS & ORGANUM - 'Der Graben' 7" (Die Stadt)
"Der Graben" ("The Ditch") is the final joint release by these two masters of noise / drone. Two unreleased classic TNB / Organum tracks that show all the glory of this collaborative project, which remains unique until today. The two short pieces (just over 3 minutes in total!) are filled with metallic scraping sounds and dissonant noise elements. This second edition of 200 comes without the original picture cover, but in plain black sleeves (with center hole) and pressed on heavy black vinyl.

THE NEW BLOCKADERS / THURSTON MOORE / JIM O'ROURKE - 'The Voloptulist' CD (Hospital Productions)
Dream-team hook-up between a trio of the most important free-noise theorists of the modern age: The New Blockaders and Thurston and Jim of Sonic Youth et al. Hard to work out who is doing exactly what here - though the presence of drummer Chris Corsano on the second track is pretty unmistakable - but the overall feel is of one of TNB's early 'Symphonie X' works, populated by thin strings of feedback, the crackle of electronic jack-to-jack friction and a subtle ring of bone. Beautifully eerie and a little more pro-drone than the bulk of TNB's work. The second track is just unbelievable, with a slow hiss of feedback torn apart by Corsano's triumphal, spirit / energy scattershots, marching a legion of ghosts all the way over the horizon. Highly recommended.
