For more details see the inside front cover of the December issue of Discorder!
After a series of lengthy phone calls we finally managed to secure some copies of this limited edition recording from Red House Painters impresario Mark Kozelek. Released on Sub Pop for the holiday season, Mark gives us some acoustic renderings of his RHP classics, plus one Christmas song - a haunting version of White Christmas! Needless to say, his songs are in the process of becoming timeless - don't wait for the car commercial to discover their fragile beauty! Available December 15th While supplies last!

BULLFROG
s/t CD
Expanding on a couple of EPs released earlier this year, Bullfrog has
squeezed in this fine full length for the year-end critics! Best known
for their work on Kid Koala's solo debut Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, this
Montreal 6-piece should by now be recognized as more than just Eric San's
other project! The proof is in the pudding Ð check out these cross-genre
pop tracks featuring more than just some 1200's deck wizardry!

TIM
HECKER Taunt Me, Taunt Me, Do It Again CD
Montreal's (?) Tim Hecker - aka Jetone - releases Taunt Me ... hot on
the heels of his recent Vancouver show (which turned into quite the party,
by all accounts) and his acclaimed album Ultramarin. Having released that
excellent piece of post-techno glitch mongering on Germany's fashionable
Force Tracks imprint, Hecker does his bit for Canadian content by putting
out Taunt Me on Substractif, a subsidiary of Alien8, Canada's premier
experimental music label. Simultaneously more musical and more abstract
than his previous releases, Hecker's latest is essential listening for
fans of Fennesz, Gas and Oval.
CD 16.98
FLANGER
Outer Space/Inner Space CD
A duo comprising Atom Heart - aka Senor Coconut - and Burnt Friedman,
Flanger make pretend Latin jazz on electronical computing machines. Downtempo
funk with outsize brains, this is clever music for smart lifestyles. The
state of the art in aural wallpaper.

SIGUR
ROS Svefn-g-englar CDEP
Back in print!! For many this EP served an introduction to the brooding
dynamics of this enigmatic Icelandic quartet. Giving us the first taste
of J—nsi Birgisson's angelic vocals, the title track Svefn-g-englar has
become the new hymn for those nights spent meditating on a steady diet
of Low, Godspeed You Black Emperor, and Slint! Amazing.
Available early December CDEP 14.98
ANTI-POP
CONSORTIUM The Ends Against The Middle CD
The title is instructive: The Ends Against The Middle dissects Anti-Pop's
distinctive "block-rocking avant garde hip-hop" sound into two
distinct halves in a bold attempt to avoid crowd-pleasing homogenization.
This seven-track EP alternates between unusually funky rap battles and
strangely whimsical electronic explorations. Low down and highbrow, cutting
and concise, it's an ideal introduction to the New York trio's vertiginous
parallel universe. Black science fiction at its most speculative.
CD 14.98
FUNKSTORUNG
'Vice Versa' CD/LP
The K7 label head honchos are among the most respected producers in the
field of "electronic dance music". Best known as remixers to
the stars, Funkstorung have put Autechre-style clanks and cuts behind
many an ethereal vocal line and/or straight-up battle rhyme. Vice Versa
sees them working their digital magic on tracks by PLAID, JAY-JAY JOHNSON,
SPEEDY J and more. The Harry Potters of pop perhaps? Essential chin stroking.
Available early December CD/LP 19.98
