An exhaustive and heavily illustrated documentation of NYC's No Wave scene in the late 70s / early 80s. According to the Flying Luttenbachers' Weasel Walter, No Wave "was a music of violent surrealism, relentless in its agression, hate and fury. It was...   expand review  something that truly screamed 'Fuck you all! I don't want to be like you!' Punk said, 'Fuck them! We don't want to be like them!' See the difference?" This book traces the history of the unique movement, from early pioneers like Suicide and Richard Hell, to hidden treasures like Red Transistor and 8-Eyed Spy, to descendents like ESG and Sonic Youth. There is also a section on No Wave cinema, which translated the agression and innovation of the music to the screen. Tons of flyers, concert photos, record covers and other ephemera of the time, plus quotes from key players like Lydia Lunch, James Chance and more. 205 pages; B&W with color. -el generico

LAB EXCLUSIVO: all copies are now signed by Phil Frost. Phil doesn't do a little scribble, but rather a full Frost tag for each book (each one is different). Oh damn, remember Pre-emptive strike!?! It was Shadow's 2LP of rare singles, featuring those...   expand review  ill Phil Frost's faces that twisted your mind. For some, that was the introduction into his tribalistic urban style which has now grown into an art monster. Since then, he's been gettin' real busy gracing galleries with his huge murals, large totems, interactive installations, and abstract characters. It's was a real treat to see his stuff live back in 2004. His painstaking tribal patterns are the perfect balance of positive and negative space. Catch up with the man's decorated career in this huge book featuring an inside looks at shows, studiowork, sketches, street pieces, and murals. A must have for any fan and an awesome introduction to those interested. Hardcover, 162 pgs, 10.75 x 10.75 x 0.75 (W x H x D) -C'mish

Finally managed to nab some import vinyl copies of this neat little collection, featuring alternate versions and covers of/by Brooklyn's premier indie / folk / laptop / whatever band. Hear CSS as you've never heard them before (mellow!) on their version of...   expand review  "Knife(1)," and fellow Sub Pop-ers Band of Horses with some wild harmonies and plenty of banjo on "Plans(2)."

Also feeling the epic and glacial choral version of "Alligator(4)" and Daniel Rossen's multi-tracked home recording of "Deep Blue Sea(5)." Comes in a handsome matte pic sleeve. 10 tracks total. -Chris Lemon-Red

Quiet Village is crate-digger extraordinaire Joel Martin and dance music master Matt Edwards (aka Radio Slave) making "sophisticated exotica for adults." Yup, that's pretty much the best description for it (from their own words). "Silent Movie" is their debut full length album...   expand review  and after sporting a few sought-after singles on Whatever We Want and a some remixes for the likes of Francois K, Cosmo Vitelli, and Gorillaz, you already know its going to be serious. There aren't really any new albums of coming out that can take you through the realms of vintage movie soundtracks, library music, disco, soul, acid rock, and breaks, tropicalia and balearica all in one long play, but somehow "Silent Movie" does that - and does it exceptionally well. It's definitely one of those albums that has a kind of timeless feel - like was it made in the past? is it new? does it matter since it's so good? - and will definitely grow on you the more you listen to it and delve into the tracks. But enough blurbing, just take a listen to these selections and let the music speak for itself - "Circus Of Horror(1)," "Free Rider(2)," "Too High To Move(3)," "Pillow Talk(4)," "Can't Be Beat(5)," "Gold Rush(6)," and "Singing Sand(7)." 12 tracks total. Recommended. -snackmaster

Second 12" for Herc & LA's huge single "Blind." This time the DFA boys have recruited UK's Serge Santiago to give it the heavy remix(1). Serge's version is a stark contrast to the OG or Frankie Knuckles version, relying on more tech-dub...   expand review  styles than classic house or disco. It gets pretty dark at some points but in the right kind of set, this will kill. Kind of reminds me of the Get Physical sound. Flipside features the brilliant dub version(2) of the Frankie Knuckles mix. The first 12" flew off our shelves and this one will probably follow suit so don't miss out! Thick, loud pressing in fancy pic sleeve. -snackmaster
