Please use this search engine as a guide as we cannot always  guarantee the availability or price of a CD you may turn up from one of SPIN's hundreds of pages.

We at SPIN CD's can get our hands on virtually any CD that you want...of course we have our specialty areas, The DEAD, Psychedelia, New Country and any reissues however obscure, we have what you might call a MOJO profile. If you've read a review in Mojo, Uncut or the like, we'll have it in stock. We also trawl around the smaller labels and some 'Internet Only' outfits to stock hard-to get releases.  Everything that appears on this page is archived either below the logo at the top, or on the links down this side of the page. Thanks for visiting and thanks for your custom.

'An Angel Moves Too Fast to See' Selected Works 1971-1989 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". £42.99www.johnhiatt.com has news and pictures from John Hiatt and the Goners new album 'Beneath this Gruff Exterior', in now, £12.99.
