Big Citie Orchestre
Reissue #3 CD
this item is in stock
Style:Electro Acoustic, Sound Concrete
From Harsh Reality Music. Originally released in 1987, this release from Big City Orchestra featuring david hannible, robin, and das, blends and manipulates sounds across a spectrum of their own devising. The liner notes state: "creativity is common to a flame that burns within a block of ice. a flame that refuses to burn out. it will be strident. it will leave an immediate impression. it will work long and hard to create a depth of field. a depth of temperament. promising nothing, leaving no guarantees. the only constants being imagination, a sense of humor and contradiction. the question "why create" looms the same as why "I (me), why know." it will trust the experts (to a point) to make temporal valuations. it proceeds with using the small bit of time it has granted. the creator is liable to no one but to ones they know. this leads the creator down different paths than the professional who must work within the presentation and legal cultures. rent cannot be paid with portions of the soul."

Lord Litter
Had me a real good time - the best of Lord Litter CD
this item is in stock
Style:Progressive Rock
From LORD LITTER. Compiled 2000 for Homemademusic.Com. When Bryan Baker invited me to produce a *best of* Lord Litter for Homemademusic.Com. I knew that I would love to do it but I also realised pretty soon that I had no idea how to do it. I had just left my band. We *were on the road* for 9 years. Started as Rock'n Roll/Country rock outfit and ended as a harsh R & B trio. I was so far away from my solo music ... I felt lost. Then in early 2000 Chris Phinney re-released my tape "Litter's Reel All Itty" on CD. I had recorded this for his Harsh Reality label in 1989. I started sending out copies 'n first positive reactions turned up. After sending it to the Stone Premonitions label in England, they asked if they if they could do a "Stone Premonitions present Lord Litter" CD using material from "Reel All Itty" and all kind of releases I had sent them. Boy was I happy ... they did an increcible job remastering and compiling and I loved the result. So did others .. positive reactions from all over. Also from people I *met* during my band years, who had no idea about my *old sound*. Suddenly *it clicked* and within three days I found and refreshed all the songs I needed to present "Had me a real good time". It turned out to be more than a *best of* ... my 4-track finally broke completely, so I could'nt do the usual always the same songs *best of*, I had to use all kind of finished masters I found and I found quite some .. so this is more like *the Lost Lord Litter album*. Yeah - I had me a real good time when I recorded the songs and had me a real good time while listening to my past and compiling this release.
