Heliocentrics “Collateral Damage” EP Available Now on Now-Again Deluxe

Over three years in the making, the UK collective Heliocentrics’ sophomore album for Now-Again, 13 Degrees of Reality, is due to be released in the first quarter 2013. As a preview – and, as promised, an exclusive for Now-Again Deluxe subscribers – we’ve making a 3 song EP, Collateral Damage, available – it’s up now! The variety of the psychedelic sounds on this EP, as always, backed by the Heliocentrics core/production team of Malcolm Catto (drums) and Jake Ferguson (bass) hint at what’s to come next year.

If you haven’t subscribed yet, or are still waiting for a reason to – well, we’ll be giving away one freebie track here after the New Year.

By Popular Demand – “Original Raw Soul III” In A Deluxe Vinyl Package!

Original Raw Soul III, previously only available on CD, is now available as a limited edition 2LP and bonus 7″ packaged in a hand silk-screened chipboard sleeve. Limited to 500 pieces.

So many people asked us why Original Raw Soul III – the compendium featuring the collected recordings of the Poets of Rhythm/Whitefield Brothers/Karl Hector & The Malcouns collective and their multitude of side-projects – wasn’t available on vinyl that we took the remaining 500 copies of our Transgressors 7″, got our man Lewis Heriz to do some new artwork, and made 500 hand silkscreened jackets for the newly cut double album.

Get ’em while they last!

And, if you need a reminder of how great the music is on this album, remember – we gave away the TRansgressors’ “Money For Born Money For Die” earlier this year – we’ve reactivated that link, below.

Acting, Thinking, Feeling: the Stark Reality’s complete works will be released Feb. 5th, 2013 as a 6LP/3CD box set. The entire album is available now to our subscribers at Now-Again Deluxe. See pics of the CD box set, and grab a free MP3, below!

We’ve just received our advance copies of the Stark Reality’s Acting, Thinking, Feelingng 3 CD box sets and damn do they look boss. So boss, in fact, that we’re showing you a bit of what you’re in for come February 5th. You’ll note, of course, the thick cardboard “tip-on” mini-LP gatefold packages, the 52 page adhered booklet, and of course our custom designed slipcase.

And, since we’ve already mentioned that this is the band’s complete, unadulterated works, what better way to prove that than to give away the full length, unedited version of the Monty Stark-penned masterwork “All You Need To Make Music” – recently restored and remastered from, as we promised, the original tapes in a glorious new transfer.

Images of the 6LP box set to come soon.

Zamrock at Transmusicales Festival/Rennes, France

As detailed in yesterday’s issue of Le Monde (“Can You Dance The Zamrock” by Stephanie Binet), WITCH’s “Jagari” Chanda and Rikki Ililonga are on their way to Rennes, France to perform an exclusive set of their Zamrock classics at Jean-Louis Brossard’s Transmuicales Festival. They will be backed by Karl Hector & The Malcouns. This is the first Zamrock performance outside of Zambia in over thirty-five years.

Above and below you can see some images shot by South African filmmaker Calum MacNaughton, who was with Chanda and Ililonga filming scenes for a forthcoming Zamrock documentary when he snapped these shots of the duo in rehearsal. More photos to come soon.

A special thanks to Ludivine Gretere for making this event possible.
