Young and Crazy Horse Return to Epic-Length Rock on Massive Triple Album. Audiophile Sound and Meticulous Packaging: Cut at Bernie Grundman Studios by Chris Bellman, Pressed at Pallas, Housed in Deluxe Gatefold Sleeve. Side F features a bonus art etching. Mastered specifically for the vinyl release.
Neil Young and Crazy Horse haven't sounded quite like this since 1990's Ragged Glory. Expanding upon the parameters set on this year's magnificent Americana covers album, the legendary Canadian artist and the world's most famous garage-rock backing band return with their first album of original music since 2003's Greendale. But whereas the latter was political in nature, Psychedelic Pill is all about the grooves, rhythms, hooks, electricity, and transcendent feelings that occur when rock music works inside your mind, body, and spirit.
Fans that have been waiting for Young to unleash on the guitar, and set about to jamming as he's been doing far back as 1967's Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere will find plenty to love. Yep, this is Young and Co. unbridled, untamed, unmitigated. The opening tune, "Driftin' Back," clocks in at more than 27 minutes. The aptly titled "Walk Like a Giant" logs more than 16 minutes.
Several songs on the album were road-tested by Young and the Horse on the road, and constitute a main part of the group's fall 2012 tour. Other tunes, such as "Born In Ontario," emerged during Young's solo jaunt during 2011. No matter their genesis, every track lingers with supreme emotion and driving, hypnotic, huge sound. Cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Studios, and pressed on dead-quiet 180g LP at Pallas, this 3LP set is an audiophile's dream and analog fanatic's wish come true.
Don't spook the Horse? Too late. Paired with Americana, Psychedelic Pill makes a strong case for 2012 being the Year of the Horse. Get your saddle ready.
"Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s first new studio album of original material in nine years gives a symbolic middle finger to modern convention. It is a stubborn and curmudgeonly statement in no hurry to go anywhere, and feels nary an obligation to apologize for its imperfections. It is the unmistakable sound of an artist doing things on his own terms and caring not an iota if he doesn’t make everyone happy…It is alternatively indulgent and lean, nostalgic and contemporary, humorous and serious, unscripted and planned, frustrating and engaging, simple and complex…Approached on its own terms, Psychedelic Pill is also another master stroke from an icon who, nearing 67 years old, could sleepwalk through the remainder of his career rather than continue to take bold risks and potentially antagonize—even alienate." --Bob Gendron, TONEAudio, October 10, 2012 and Issue 49 Regular Price: $74.95

You can hear the wind in every breath used to make every sound on this amazing recording. The notion of the wind is also descriptive of the elusive and elemental beauty present in the evocative expression that is engraved in every sound on this recording. The titles of the pieces reflect Nicole Mitchell’s deep connection to nature, which inspires her and informs her artistry.
A performance of one’s solo music is particularly revealing. This recording is a distilled and rarified statement that further solidifies Nicole Mitchell’s position as a major voice in free music. Perhaps more importantly, she has made music that can be understood and enjoyed by anyone who is able to recognize beauty and fine musicianship. For those of us who know her work in groups, or are more akin to the particulars of free music, we can also enjoy her complete originality heard all by itself and her ability to make new music.
This recording is a virtuosic tour-de-force. The technical achievement of this music stands on its own and defines Nicole Mitchell as an innovator and expressive artist with a depth of mastery that surpasses even that which we already know about her. Joe Morris, excerpt from the liner notes. Price: $15.95

Long Story Short, the festival organized as the 25th edition of the Unlimited Festival in Wels, Austria (November 2011) designed a festival around Peter Brötzmann's musical practice -- not a retrospective, but a representation of the contemporary musical spheres that Brötzmann and his comrades are investigating today. Eighteen performances in this box document Brötzmann's close ties to the Chicago scene, his inclination to work with Japanese artists, his cultivation of old and new friendships from New York, his admiration for African musicians and collaborations with his European friends. The extensive compilation emphasizes the vitality and variety of Brötzmann's current work and documents a historical moment of the Unlimited Festival. These were special days with very special performances, intense experiences for everybody involved -- musicians and audience alike (the venue was completely sold-out months before). After having started to work regularly with Peter Brötzmann in 2011 with vinyl reissues of his FMP-works of the '70s on Cien Fuegos and some of his current projects on Trost, the label is especially happy to present these recordings as a 5CD box monument.

This LP is cut from the original analog master.
Crazy Horse's eponymous 1971 debut was released on the heels of the band's brilliant work with Neil Young on his albums Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and After the Gold Rush. Core members Danny Whitten, Billy Talbot, and Ralph Molina are joined here by producer Jack Nitzsche, guitarist Nils Lofgren, and Ry Cooder on slide guitar.
The 11-song set picks right up where they left off with Young, featuring five strong originals from Whitten, a pair from Lofgren, as well as the original version of "Downtown" which also appeared on Young's 1975 release Tonight's The Night. Price: $23.95
