The post BACK IN STOCK | Here’s everything we’ve repressed this week… appeared first on Cherry Red Records.

From the futuristic, synth-laden opener of ‘Our Lives Can’t Last Forever’ and innovative psychedelic swirl of ‘The Starship (One Love One Life)’ and ‘Traveller of Time & Space’, to the lamenting saxophones and menacing riffs of ‘What Are We Going To Do While We’re Here’ and ‘Stargazers’, the band deliver 13 tracks of classic material.

The album has everything Hawkwind fans new and old could ask for – from Dave Brock’s trademark vocals and chugging guitar riffs to roaming solos, gradual melancholic crescendos and rapturous peaks, it’s a record that sits tightly in the Hawkwind groove, delivering an intense concentrated fusion of musical styles.

‘Stories From Time And Space’ is presented by Dave Brock, Richard Chadwick, Magnus Martin, Doug MacKinnon and Tim “Thighpaulsandra” Lewis on both CD and double vinyl and will be released to coincide with live shows in the spring and summer:

Wednesday 3rd April – Wulfrum Hall, Wolverhampton

The post HAWKWIND | Announce brand new album Stories From Time and Space! appeared first on Cherry Red Records.

NEW REMASTERED 3CD CLAMSHELL BOX ANTHOLOGY FEATURING THE FIRST THREE ALBUMS BY LEGENDARY SYNTHESISER PIONEER TIM BLAKE.

INCLUDES THE ALBUMS ‘CRYSTAL MACHINE’, ‘BLAKE’S NEW JERUSALEM’ AND ‘MAGICK’, PLUS AN ILLUSTRATED BOOKLET.

REVIEWS IN UNCUT, MOJO, RECORD COLLECTOR AND PROG MAGAZINES AND ALL SPECIALIST PRESS PLUS COVERAGE ON RELEVANT WEBSITES AND FANZINES.

Tim Blake first came to prominence as a member of Gong where his synthesiser experimentation was demonstrated on ‘Flying Teapot’, ‘Angel’s Egg’ and ‘You’. He later joined Hawkwind from 1979 – 1980 and from November 2007.
After departing Gong in 1975 he teamed up with French lighting designer Patrice Warrener to form Crystal Machine, pioneering the use of lasers and synthesisers in a live setting.

Blake’s debut album, ‘Crystal Machine’, was originally released in 1977 on the French experimental label Egg and featured two pieces recorded live in the UK and in France. This work was followed by arguably his finest work, ‘Blake’s New Jerusalem’ in 1978. Unlike his previous work, the album featured songs and the lengthy title-track would dominate the album’s second side. ‘Blake’s New Jerusalem’ also saw the guest appearance of Jean- Philippe Rykiel on mini-moog. He briefly joined Hawkwind before returning to France and moving away from music.
Tim returned to the music scene with the album ‘Magick’ in 1991, recorded at his home studio in a windmill in Brittany in one evening. This collection of the first three albums recorded by Tim Blake confirms his status as a true pioneer of ambient electronica.

• ‘The Real New Fall LP (Formerly Country on the Click)’ is the 23rd studio album by The Fall.
• Originally released in the United Kingdom in 2003, Cherry Red Records is delighted to present this 20th anniversary re-issue.

Originally recorded at Lisa Stansfield’s Gracieland Studios in between December 2002 and January 2003 with producer Grant Showbiz.

The subtitle is explained by the fact that the tracks were originally scheduled for release in April 2003 under the title ‘Country on the Click’. Promotional copies were sent out and three of the new songs were previewed in the band’s 23rd Peel Session, but Mark. E Smith was unhappy with the mix and decided it needed further work.

Alex Linhardt of Pitchfork called it “as valuable an album as anything The Fall ever released in the 1990s” and stated that “Smith’s lyrics are at a near career-best of insolence and nonsense.”
AllMusic’s David Jeffries wrote that the album “gives the faithful another reason to believe”. Helen Pidd, reviewing the album for The Guardian, viewed Smith as being “on magnificently mad form”. Uncut called it “Great by Smith’s standards. Practically genius by everybody else’s.” Spin praised it as “an atavistic orgy of recycled riffs and lifelong obsessions”. MOJO reviewed it as “as good as anything in this group’s monstrous catalogue”. Pop Matters called it “their best record in a decade”.

The Real New Fall Album (Formally Country on the Click) was originally released in 2003 on the Action label and contains the Fall classic Sparta FC and was produced by Grant Showbiz, this 5CD version contains the original album as well as Interim, a disc of B-sides and a live Show from the time.

A 1LP vinyl version is also being released alongside.

This Set as with the other Fall reissues has been compiled in conjunction with Fall expert Conway Patton and has notes by Fall guru Daryl Easlea and was mastered by long time engineer Andy Pearce with art by Becky Stewart.

The post THE FALL | The Real New Fall LP (Formerly Country on the Click) 5CD OUT NOW! appeared first on Cherry Red Records.

4CD SET COMPRISING CURVE’S ENTIRE ANXIOUS RECORDINGS OUTPUT.

FEATURING THE CLASSIC ALBUMS ‘DOPPLEGÄNGER’ AND ‘CUCKOO’ PLUS SINGLES, B- SIDES, REMIXES AND LIVE RECORDINGS.

PRODUCED WITH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM DEAN GARCIA AND TONI HALLIDAY.

SLEEVENOTES FROM LOIS WILSON.

Formed by two relative veterans of the musical landscape in London in 1990, Curve blazed a trail with a fresh new sound during the first few years of that decade, fusing heavy electronics with layered guitars and sweetly dark vocals. The British music press was instantly enamoured, and the band went on to score a succession of critically acclaimed underground hits through a series of classic EPs and two futuristic albums.

Released on Dave Stewart’s (Eurythmics) Anxious imprint, these records chart the course of a band who burned brightly but briefly in their original incarnation, taking their cues from the scene around them and creating a new sound which many would mimic (most notably, Butch Vig’s Garbage). But this is the original flavour. The real deal. Original and daring. Homespun yet worldly.

Featuring the classic early EPs and those two seminal long players, ‘Unreadable Communication’ demands a re-examination of a band who set the standards of their own time and place, and who continue to be referenced and appreciated by shoegazers, industrialists and ethereal pop kids across the world.

CUT AT ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS.

REVIEWS IN NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS, UNCUT, MOJO, RECORD COLLECTOR, CLASSIC ROCK AND PROG MAGAZINES PLUS COVERAGE ON RELEVANT WEBSITES AND FANZINES.

Released in the USA in September 1968 and in UK in December the same year, ‘Shine On Brightly’ followed on from the huge international success in 1967 of the band’s debut single ‘A Whiter Shade Of Pale’ and the follow up single ‘Homburg’ and built on the creative path begun on Procol Harum’s self-titled debut album issued in January 1968.

Gary Brooker (voice, piano), Robin Trower (lead guitar), David Knights (bass guitar), B.J. Wilson (drums) and Matthew Fisher (Hammond organ) took the music of the band to new heights with their second album. Dominated by the 17-minute epic suite ‘In Held ‘Twas In I’, Procol Harum re-wrote the rule book of popular music with the material written and recorded for ‘Shine On Brightly’.

This new vinyl edition of this classic album has been cut at Abbey Road Studios and utilises the gatefold sleeve design of the September 1968 US release.
