NEWS/UPDATES
DISCOGRAPHY
 
   

So, updates will hopefully be rolling in a bit more frequently (or closer to actual events anyway). As usual, I'm still in the process of redesigning, so apologies for mismatched pages etc. It WILL be happening this spring. The actual discography pages maybe not, but the rest - label sorting, articles, sounds, pics etc.....so....

ot really a full update, but I wanted to throw two blogs your way. The first is musichertz.blogspot.com/ which is a great resource for some rare Laswell stuff as well as other related projects.

The other is unheard78.blogspot.com. It's just getting off the ground, but is very well written and (in my opinion anyway) a fun read. This cat also has a well researched post regarding the unreleased Jungle Brothers album 'Crazy Wisdom Masters' (track list in the discography section on this site finally). He's cobbled together a lot of what went into this album and it's subsequent suppression from talking to people involved directly and indirectly with it, including Matt Stein and Skiz from WordSound. Check it out.

May 2, 2009

Not really anything new released since last update, but here's a list of some things upcoming...most don't have release dates, but hopefully we'll see them sooner rather than later (thanks to Musso Music for some of the info):

The Project Pale (OHM Resistance)..out May 5. Mixed by Laswell.

Excavation II...more trips to the vault. Should be out soon, available at DTMG.

Loud Apt....EP mixed and produced by Laswell. Soon.

Beatundercontrol...remix album featuring Laswell, Scorn, Youth and others on Malicious Damage Records. Out in the Fall, but Ulf from Beatundercontrol said they plan to release the Laswell remix on iTunes this month.

Laswell, Nauseef and Sussan Deyhim on Meta.

Remix of Azzddine track.

A Rammellzee compilation CD.

A Dr. Israel/Killah Priest album.

Oh yeah....and I've added a listing for the long lost Jungle Brothers album. Don't ask about copies, though. I only have some track and timing info and no copy to trade.

(March 25) UPDATES: Added Jai Uttal's new release Thunder Love. This was mixed by Laswell and he contributes to two tracks as a player. Also Invisible Design II, on Tzadik. More solo bass excursions.

Kurt (Submerged) Gluck has confirmed in various places that a new Method of Defiance is being worked on featuring (among others) Laswell, Submerged, Justin Broadrick, Wata (from Boris) and Dr. Israel.

Also, Eraldo Bernocchi made a trip to the Netherlands this week to record with Kondo for Kondo's contribution to the in progress Charged album.

I've finally added some unreleased stuff that was recorded but never released byt whatever label commissioned it. Herbie Hancock Electric remixes (listed under Herbie Hancock and Bill Laswell), The long-missing Beat Alchemy: Sublime Manipulations that was originally to be called Excavation and come out through Innerhythmic (under Collections), The Tony Williams Lifetime remixes and two releases under Laswell's name - In Praise of Shadows (the Sony Classical remixes) and Excavation: Unauthorized Cut-Up Vol I.

Gigs....here's some for you...

 

(March 15) UPDATES: under Collections we have Spent: Beats to Bring you Back and Innerhythmic: Cause & Effect. Both are new, but not new material. Cause & Effect is basically an Innerhythmic sampler. Spent is a compilation of slightly remixed/re-edited tracks to accompany a book called Spent about Holistic Medicine I believe. Also the new Submerged comp (previously released track) and The Toy Killers...old nuggets from the early '80s never before released.
