This one's available for download tho. I'd love to hear if you have a preference or what you like about one or the other.

Not much bass in this one, but still some tones that require headphones or real speakers.

Le Révélateur - Extreme Events
Edition of 300 LP Digital Download

WO Release Date: August 22, 2014 
US Release Date: September 2, 2014

Five years after founding Le Révélateur, Montreal-bred musician Roger Tellier-Craig returns to Root Strata with Extreme Events, a collection of dense sonic studies that betray a futuristic and timeless beauty. Alongside collaborator Sabrina Ratté, who creates the project’s videos and live visuals, Le Révélateur operates at the ideological intersection of audio and visual, analog and digital, nostalgic and anticipatory, human and machine. Extreme Events is characterized by complex rhythmic asymmetry and twinkling aesthetic resonance – ultimately a prescient re-vision of hypothetical cyberpunk futures realized in the desert of digital decay and burgeoning artificial ecologies.

Cut and mastered by Helmut Erler at D&M, Berlin. Distributed by Morr Music.

Le Révélateur - Afterimage Selves

Lee Gamble sure has been busy in 'the lab' since his last outing 'Diversions 1994-1996' dropped way back in 2012. There's an LP on the way, but just before that PAN are set to release the 'Kuang EP' on August 8th.

Lee Gamble 'Kali Wave' - Boiler Room Debuts

Overseen by 2013 Opal Tapes alumnus Rejections, aka Teesider Michael Hann, the Reject and Fade label has been operating as a low key outlet for the producer's own explorations of doom-laden sonics for the past few years. After a brief hiatus, the label is embracing the future with a sense of renewed vigour, with several new releases planned over the coming months. The first comes from Berlin-based Bandcamp producer rkss (pictured above) and takes the form of Tunnel, a seven-track cassette release consisting of random YouTube samples, mangled and processed into strange new forms.

Due for release in the crawlspace between August and September, Tunnel will arrive with artwork courtesy of Unknown Precept don Jules Peter (a regular in our Best Record Sleeves column), as well as a zine featuring short stories, articles and poetry which re-imagine and reinterpret the themes and ideas behind the release. As a taste of what to expect, the label have offered up a full stream of B-side track "Tryouts," whose harsh and foreboding introduction proves a false prophecy for what follows.

Fuck Modern Electronics (edit)

New York based conceptual artist James Hoff returns to PAN with ‘Blaster’, a document of his explorations of computer viruses as agents within the composition process. Specifically, Hoff used the Blaster virus to infect 808 beats and then utilized the mutated results as building blocks for seven new compositions.

Hoff’s interest in computer viruses lies in their ability to self distribute through (and ultimately disrupt) networks of communication and Hoff’s agency as an artist centers on placing these parasitic forms into pre-existing genres, such as dance music. BLASTER is a timely exploration of the infectious qualities of sound, and how it too, as a carrier, makes it’s way through social networks, reduced to bits and programmed to infiltrate and replicate.

“Viruses, like art, need a host. Preferably a popular one.”

Interested in ways in which the virus works could mutate and spread socially, the first side of ‘Blaster’ contains these sonic presentations, and the second houses all of the artist’s infected samples and serves as a scratch record for DJ’s, an object of utility, and ultimately a provoca- tion, mobilizing its new hosts as a point of potential transmission.

Blaster is a logical progression from Hoff’s PAN debut LP “How Wheeling Feels when the Ground Walks Away”, which dealt with aural documents of riots and disruptions and the record is part of a larger body of work by the artist that also includes virus paintings.

The LP is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M. The artwork was constructed using viral images from the artist and typography by Bill Kouligas.

Out Now ! Reissue of Smoke Dawson's 1971 private press LP, 'Fiddle,' out on Tompkins Square. CD/LP/DL

George "Smoke" Dawson played banjo in MacGrundy's Old-Timey Wool Thumpers with Peter Stampfel (later of Holy Modal Rounders) in 1960, lived for years at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY, and roamed around the US as an itinerant bagpipe and fiddle player for decades. Dawson was also part of a rotating troupe of Bay Area musicians known as Golden Toad, who would open for the Grateful Dead on occasion, lead by Bob Thomas, who created the iconic skull and lightning Dead logo.
