  • FRED FRITH: Allies



    Reissue of the 1989 dance music album, with Joey Baron, Tom Cora and George Cartwright. One of Fred’s open field type compositions – where parallel events proceed serenely, coinciding half-unpredictably, but still often enough to sound connected. There is continuity in modular repetition but so many overlays, small alterations, emergent details and new material that the sonic terrain they invoke is constantly mutating and constantly unpredictable (even after several auditions). Continuity is here irregularly interrupted by disruptive events, always settling back into semi-stable planes. Re-mastered and repackaged

  • SKELETON CREW: Learn To Talk/Country Of Blinds



    With 10 extra tracks. A reissue of two timeless classics. On the first CD it’s just Fred Frith and Tom Cora, the legendary two man crew who somehow – in real time, not with endless overdubs – managed to play all their own instruments (cello, bass, electric guitar, violin) and sing – as well as, between them, constructing the drum parts – dislocated into elements, with each of them having bits of the kit. This made for some fantastic, and normally unplayable, parts – most drummers having only one brain. No one sounded like Skeleton Crew, ever. Devious, complicated, brutally simple, always unexpected, turning on a dime, this was not just a pop band then, but a tocsin, a call to arms – and a catalogue of invention that is remains breathtaking today. On the second album, the inspired addition of Zeena Parkins (keyboards, accordion, more drums, more vocals) led to some of the best music of the decade. The recording was rawer, more urgent, the songs stand out in sharp relief; every part essential. And yet it’s a puzzle almost impossible to unravel: how on earth did they ever evolve those dislocated parts and still make them fit so brilliantly together? Did I mention the texts? So to the point, so good. So where are the Skeleton Crews today when we really need them? Both CDs are here, in full, re-mastered by Fred and with 10 extra tracks – each as good as anything on the official albums. Just give in to the urge: if you have any pennies left, spend them on this.

  • MASSACRE: Killing Time



    Another legendary release. Fred’s first full-on group after Henry Cow – following soon after his move to America – was a power trio with Bill Laswell (bass) and Fred Maher (drums), both from Giorgio Gomelsky’s house band Zu – later to become Material. Massacre was loud and their pieces tended to be short, make their point and end. They used the time-honoured structure of bebop: an intricate head followed by high energy explorations of rhythm and timbre (aka noise). But the authority of playing skills remained very much to the fore – hence, perhaps, the term Punk Jazz which was applied at the time. However, this is unequivocally rock. A fully re-mastered reissue of the original Japanese release, plus the five extra tracks that appeared on the long out of print, Rec Dec CD and two, previously unreleased tracks, including The Shadows-Massacre, FBI.

  • FRED FRITH: Prints


    A collection of various songs and extended songs that Fred has made over the years, including a samples and newspaper project made for WDR (radio) and tributes to Bert Bacharach and Serge Gainsbourg. This is Fred in studio mode, writing great songs – sadly a generally rather thinly documented aspect of his work, and one that, in my opinion, he excels at. A very welcome release.
