Two LPS in 180 Gram Vinyl High Quality Pressing. "'I have one Sinfonie' professed Hermann Nitsch identifying with Bruckner who made a similar claim of his symphonic output. For comparison, La Monte Young has a similar concept, for example, The Tortoise, His Dreams, and Journey's from 1964 -- eternity, with each realization, the piece never ends; it's a continuation. Professionally recorded in 1990 in Vienna and realized by a professional orchestra, the 8th Sinfonie by Hermann Nitsch is a triumphantly charged live performance by Ensemble 20 Jahrhundert, the Hugo Distler Choir, a Blasorchester (Brass Band), and Noise Orchestra.The 8th Sinfonie was produced to commemorate the 62nd Birthday of the Viennese Actionist founder Hermann Nitsch. A limited Artist's edition of 20 in a foil embossed cloth folio with Hermann Nitsch signed original artwork, including 2-LPs and 2-CDRs. This regular 2-LP edition is limited to 185 copies."

Cortical Foundation releases #27, 28 & 29 are a series of deluxe packaged reissues of extremely rare and unreleased material from original LAFMS (Los Angeles Free Music Society). Each comes in a heavy duty full color gatefold 7" jacket, with inserts, etc., limited to 700 copies each -- state of the art packaging quality and attention to detail. "Airway started in 1977 as a plot by Joe Potts to subliminally program audiences behind the cover of a chaotic wall of sound. To create the wash of ear-splitting noise, all of the instruments, Vetza's vocals, and the subliminal implants are mixed together and processed through a daisy-chain of flangers, phase-shifters, delays and distortions. Then the super-charged signal is blasted through guitar amps carefully placed to maximize the ricochet of sound from wall to wall. Airway kicks the notion of 'loud' up to a whole new level. First time available. New recording of Airway with the LAFMS alumni, including Jerry Bishop, Don Bolles, Dennis Duck, John Duncan, Pierre Bamboo Dupuy, Ace Farren Ford, Kevin Laffey, Mike Kelley, Don Lewis, Fredrik Nilsen, Rick Potts, Joe Potts, Tom Recchion, Melinda Ring, Captain Alan Schuck, Richard Snyder, Vetza, Liz Young. The release includes a repro Airway 7" from 1977 (with separate sleeve), CD of Airway Beyond The Pink Live, CD-ROM movie of Airway and Mother/Daughter, plus Airway documentation in PDF format. Plus inserts in deluxe 7" gatefold sleeve designed by Tom Recchion. Hand numbered edition of 700 copies."

"This edit of Le-Forte Four is wedged between their former incarnation as The Patients and their debut LP that was put together in the electronic music studio at Cal Arts in 1974. Edited by Rick Potts in 1973. All the references made in their debut Bikini Tennis Shoes LP, from Speed Racer to Zappa to Looneytoons to the Moog, is very clearly foretold in the 'Boris The Spider/Priceless' edit. Includes Extended Grunge and Arguments From The Patients reworking of The Who's 'Boris The Spider' that was later submitted to the Norwegian Electronic Music Festival and rejected. First time available. The release includes: a 7" repro of the very rare Slimey Adenoid and the Pablums 'The Residents' b/w Joe Potts 'Mother Daughter', CD of Le Forte Four Boris The Spider/Priceless. Hand numbered edition of 700 copies."

"'For me, those are the only two things that exist -- drones and love songs.' --Stephen Prina, Purple. Vinyl II is a 16mm film commissioned on the occasion of Departures: 11 Artists at the Getty. 'The result is twenty one and a half minutes of interlaced references, from seventeenth century devotional painting to Andy Warhol's 1965 film Vinyl, which is a demented, black humored takeoff on Anthony Burgess's novel A Clockwork Orange [there are a total of 3 takes, for approximately 63 minutes of music]. And what about the music, the score, Prina's entrance as singer? From the casting of the musicians -- affectless, nonprofessional actors that resemble Bresson's 'models' --to the composition of the multipart, rigidly symmetrical piece of music, the two middle sections of which sound like unwritten songs by the Beatles, Brian Wilson, Burt Bacharach, even Schumann, everything seems extraordinarily decisive.' --Tom Holert, Art Forum. Since 1994, Stephen Prina has recorded and performed with The Red Krayola, appearing on Amor and Language, Hazel, and Fingerpainting. Push Comes To Love, 1998, is his solo pop record, co-produced by David Grubbs and Jim O'Rourke, available on Drag City." Credits for Vinyl II, recorded at the J. Paul Getty Museum on 10/4/1999: Stephen Prina (voice), Kirsten Barron (French horn), Daphne Chen (violin), Guenevere Meashan (violencello), Kate Reddish (viola), Melissa Reiner (violin).
