MOGWAI
The first new release from Glaswegians Mogwai since this spring's full-length sees the band looking back to the wall of shimmering guitar power after the more mellow moods of that album. A single 21-minute song of epic proportions is leveled at the listener on this effort, based upon a simple ancient Jewish melody that the band was taught by Arthur Baker, and reworked with their trademark gigantic sound enhanced by the production work of Steve Albini.

THE
TRANS CHAMPS Double Exposure ... hmmm, with my limited photographic knowledge we seem to be discussing the process of exposing a single frame of film to two dynamic images! Needless to say, the results dramatically rupture the definitions of photographic realism. Are you with me ... good, then sit back because your definition of sonic realism is about to get restructured also, as long time Zulu faves Trans Am and The Fucking Champs exposure a single strip of audio tape to two of heavy future-metal treatments. CD/LP 12.98 |

FUGAZI THE ARGUMENT CD/LP This record should be called Amazing instead of The Argument. Not just because this record is amazing, which it is, but because Fugazi keep getting better and better. Their previous release, the eclectic soundtrack to Jem Cohen's, um, also amazing Fugazi documentary, Instrument, seems to have freed Fugazi creatively, leading to all kinds of new sounds and ideas. Of course, the basic Fugazi nuts and bolts are still abundantly here, and they still rock out with ease, but they've matured considerably, demonstrating once again the significance of their much-respected drive and integrity. Amazing, yes, amazing. CD 14.98 LP 12.98 |

LOSCIL
So much music that attempts hypnosis is merely repetitious. Ladies and gentlemen - welcome to the real thing. Triple Point is the debut solo album from Destroyer drummer and multimedia-artist-about-town Scott Morgan. Not just another local wannabe act, Loscil makes limpid post-Monolake electronica so patently impressive that it caught the ear of Chicago's Kranky label - the imprint that brought Godspeed You Black Emperor! to a grateful world, lest we forget. Zulu Records is proud to provide you with an opportunity to catch the first wave of a genuine, Vancouver-based phenomenon. Get ready to ride the somnambulant ambience. CD 16.98 |

THE
SILVER MOUNT ZION... Putting the rock back into Baroque? Putting the Baroque back into Goth? Putting the Goth back into post-rock? Another ad-hoc agit-prop sock hop featuring members of Godspeed You Black Emperor!, all wrapped up in the requisite beautiful Constellation Records packaging (the double ten-inch's sleeve even smells nice). Many of our customers believe this splinter group's previous effort to be the best Godspeed!-related project so far. The follow-up does not disappoint. Essential brooding. CD 12.98 2X10" 16.98 |

(INTERNATIONAL)
NOISE CONSPIRACY It's hard to offer a cogent critique of global capitalism. And it's even harder to do this from the context of popular culture, which normally trivializes or rejects political analysis. For good or bad, the (International) Noise Conspiracy has placed themselves in this difficult, even contradictory position. Maybe their thoughtful political agenda might not win them as many fans as the great '60s influenced punk rock they play (which rocks even harder live, by the way). But who knows, maybe their message of life and revolution might also inspire us the next time we find ourselves dancing uncontrollably to their music, our limber bodies helping free our minds. Smash it up for the multitude. CD 19.98 |

VELVET
UNDERGROUND Clearly one of the most anticipated releases for the Mojo rock historians, this 3 CD set is curated by famous NYC guitarist/ post-punk impresario Robert Quine. Featuring 3 live sets from the VU pre-Loaded era, these recordings from dates in San Francisco and Washington DC point to the peak of their 1969 counter-culture prominence. Playing material from their first two albums (with very little overlap on the individual set lists), each night ends with blistering versions of ÒSister RayÓ - a tune, then destined to reverberate for future generations. ÒRock'n'RollÓ is the only previously released track, as it appears on 1969: Velvet Underground Live, and that should provide the curious with some idea of Lou's intensity level. If ÒElectricity comes from other planets,Ó then this terrain is a pleasant shock. 3CD 46.98 Available early November. |

BEBEL
GILBERTO People often come into our store asking us what might sound good in their CD players along with, say, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Thievery Corporation, Llorca, or Saint Germain. Ranging from laidback and cool to upbeat and danceable, we think these thirteen new remixes of Bebel Gilberto's dŽbut Tanto Tempo are just the thing. Featuring tracks by Peter Kruder (of Kruder and Dorfmeister), TrŸby Trio, Rae & Christian, King Brit, Faze Action, 4hero, and more. CD 16.98 |

KEVIN
KANE One of my earliest concert experiences was The Grapes Of Wrath at the PNE Aquastage many summers ago. At the peak of their powers, they capped their fine selection of originals with a handful of choice cover versions Ñ lovingly rendered glimpses at their record collections. Continuing that thread, Grapes mainman Kevin Kane has culled an album of acoustic renditions of great songs from the '60s to the '90s (with guest appearances from Veda Hille and Neko Case). From The Kinks to Kraftwerk, The Go Go's to Guided By Voices - snapshots from his youth, yours and mine handled with care and grace. Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies, so don't sleep on this local gem. CD 12.98 |

BOBBY
CONN I was once anointed by the sounds of Mr. Bobby Conn. It was a pleasurable experience, but like most that are characterized by hedonistic pursuits, there were some permanent after effects. His music is daring, bold, youthful and wise (a rare mix), but also very dangerous. Having said this, his perilous bombastic combinations of soul, rock and introspective lyricism have left me extremely eager to depart for the Conn universe! There my friends, we can piece together the puzzles. CD 19.98 |

DJ
FOOD and DK All most as popular as the late '80s fad that saw thousands of youngsters racing towards careers in dentistry, today's youth retain dreams of the lustrous DJ workplace. You see ... the skilled DJ is free, and destined to roam the countryside with turntables stocked for some chillin' episodes. DJ Food and DK are two such audacious individuals - mixing BOARDS OF CANADA, FOUR TET, BLACKALICIOUS, DJ VADIM, JERU, NEOTROPIC and many more - sure beats pulling teeth from bloody gums! Enjoy.
