'Live VPRO 1971', recorded at the Dutch 'hippie' station, is the earliest known live recording discovered of MICHAEL CHAPMAN. A beautiful warm and clear recording featuring long-time collaborator RICK KEMP on electric bass.

Doom laiden anti-melodies w/ aggressive vox & some haunting guitar work.

The legendary 60's producer, JOE MEEK and his space age freeked out rock band. Crazed production effects form a SUN RA sound over garage rock pop sound.

THE definitive SLAYER moment...sure,you can make an argument for "Reign In Blood"s punishing speed assault,but "Hell Awaits" has it all: speed AND power, shifting between grinding heaviness & maniacal riffing at 1000 mph. This record is a MUST HAVE, period.

Long awaited best of collection from THE THE. Limited edition 2 CD set is fully remastered & feautures eight extended remixes. This is the only "best of" collection available from THE THE & the TWO DISC version will eventually be out of print...so get them while you can.

It's like you can feel it in the air, Chicago - there's a brand new WILCO record upon us, and it's a good one. After a few albums of acoustic sketches, solo projects and sonic detours into full-on country music, Tweedy & Co. lock into a solid art pop groove on 'Cousin,' festooned with synths, drum machines (that only compliment Glenn Kotche's brilliance behind the kit) and jagged bursts of noise that harken back to the band's underrated 'The Whole Love' era. There's almost a krautrock feel here, even on the more subdued tracks, with Tweedy & producer CATE LE BON making masterful use of repetition to build & release tension in a way that ensures these songs will slot in to the band's legendary live sets like a charm. Do we even have to say it? This is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
