David Payne - Reel To Real

Challenging, deeply personal/private non-music by the always amazing and under-rated David Payne (the only constant member of loose improv/noise group Fossils), using tape loops of incidental sounds. In a way, Payne is Canada's pre-Wolf-Eyes John Olson, compulsively producing uncompromising music in small editions with no particular audience in mind, just to satisfy his own unique aesthetic. The atmosphere on this excellent tape (and the two others that came out at the same time) is of overhearing something private and personal, made in such a small edition precisely because it's not for everybody. Yet, this shuffling incidental sound is oddly compelling in a Graham Lambkin or early Philip Corner sort of way. Released in 2011 on Middle James Co as a cassette in an edition of 13 copies. Listen to this, then head to Discogs and buy any tapes or CDRs you can find.

Gnod / Islington Mill




People here should know how much I love Gnod. Previously, I have also said how important Islington Mill is to Manchester / Salford. It really is the most vibrant and culturally important venue / art space for the subunderground in this part of the world. In this city of dead-eyed capitalist cannon fodder, it is a shining beacon of hope!

Anyway, parts of the Mill are in a state of decay - namely the roof. For a while now, there has been a fund raising drive to repair the roof which will also present the opportunity to open up the upper floors and expand the creativity.

The mighty Gnod have teamed up with Anthony Child (aka the legendary techno DJ / producer Surgeon as well as one half of the brilliant British Murder Boys) and released ‘Behind The Lids’. Whilst that is great in itself, the beautiful thing is that every single penny of the profits go into the fund raising pot which brings everyone that much closer to sorting the roof out.

Clearly, everyone reading this should go here now and buy the CD. It would also be great if you could spare a quid (or your currency's equivalent) and hand it over to the Mill.
