'The Slaughter Rule' Soundtrack is a 23 tracks CD
on Blood shot Records. "Taken as a whole, it is a dark and meditative album which also perfectly echoes the stark and melancholic setting. Look for the movie in limited theatrical release and on DVD/VHS. One need not see it , though, to enjoy this striking soundtrack album.
"The quieter moments of the [soundtrack pieces] recall the finger-picked primacy of Will Oldham's better work, while the amplified passages evoke much of what made Tupelo's original juxtaposition of country and punk so interesting in the first place"

were brought together for an historic and amazing session.
In the 60’s this is what was known as FUNKY! A howling
stomping virtuoso two days of brilliant music, at the same
time redolent of the late 60’s, and timeless. Who was
there?
Eric Clapton was, and Jack Bruce and Buddy Guy,
meeting Eric for the first time in what was to be a long
relationship of the two greatest blues guitarists of a
generation. Great drummers
Buddy Miles and John Hiseman and the enigmatic
superstar
Steven Stills. The extraordinary jazz legend Roland Kirk
plays with his Quartet and then jams with the rockers.
The Modern Jazz quartet,"....I

a 3 CD box set from avant-garde Composer -guitarist
-trumpeter
Rhys
Chatham.
"Rhys Chatham's music is too loud and too
exciting to be academic. The excitement's partly physical
— from high volume and a rock and roll beat — and partly
intellectual: Chatham's fusion of rock and new music is so
uncompromising, so elegant, so simple, and still so new that
it takes my breath away."
— Gregory Sandow, Village Voice "Then it came, the first chord. For a moment you forgot you ever had a name and came from somewhere; this was louder than anything you had ever heard, louder than you had prepared yourself for, and there was no reality other than this. You dangled in a tidal wave of sound."
— Daily Telegraph. From www.rhyschatham.com:
"A comprehensive 3-disc retrospective, An
Angel Moves Too Fast to See includes all of Chatham's major
"minimal" pieces, ranging from the thunderous
"Two Gongs" (1971) and the No-Wave tumult of
"Guitar Trio" (1977) to the brass-based
"Massacre on MacDougal Street" (1982) and the
epic, previously unreleased "An Angel Moves Too Fast to
See" (1989), scored for an orchestra of 100 electric
guitars. The accompanying 140-page book features dozens of
never -before- published photos plus essays by Chatham, Tony
Conrad and Lee Ranaldo and artwork by famed visual artist
Robert Longo. Together they present a portrait of a city and
a milieu where, for a moment, the raw, the sophisticated,
the meditative and the danceable merged". £42.99 www.johnhiatt.com
