  • Bobby Beausoleil  ”The Lucifer Rising Suite”  4 x LP box  (Ajna)  $48  - “Now, for the first time, all of the music composed for the soundtrack project has been compiled into a single public release. ‘The Lucifer Rising Suite’ begins with the 1967 version of the soundtrack and continues through a logical sequence of the recordings made in the years spanning 1976-79. With respect to the latter, the original master tapes were mined for music that had not been heard by anyone in nearly three decades. The newly unearthed recordings were then restored, cleaned up and combined with those previously released to make the anthology as complete as possible. The compositions that comprise the Suite are sequenced in an order that tells a story, after a fashion. It is a story that may be impossible to tell in a strictly literary manner, one that - like a mirror’s reflection into another - is both personal and allegorical. A complete anthology of the recordings made for the ‘Lucifer Rising’ motion picture soundtrack by Bobby Beausoleil with The Freedom Orchestra and The Magick Powerhouse Of Oz. This fully authorized and definitive release includes: - Remastered recordings spanning 11 years, from the ‘67 recording to the Tracy Prison recordings of ‘78. - 4 full-length LPs worth of ‘Lucifer Rising’ material with half being never-before-heard sessions personally selected by Bobby BeauSoleil. - 9 new pieces of art from Bobby: 8 record sleeve panels and one 2′ x 3′ poster. - 2 posters: one by Bobby BeauSoleil and one by Dennis Dread. - A much-extended version of the ‘Fallen Angel Blues’ piece by Bobby that originally appeared in the Kenneth Anger DVD set. - ‘Hymns to the Solar Temple’ - impressions on a visit to Bobby at the Oregon Correctional Facility in Pendleton, Oregon by Dennis Dread. - The Saga of a Soundtrack by Michael Moynihan. - Art from Dennis Dread for the back of the LP box, also included as a 2′ x 2′ poster. - Art from Dennis Dread for the front lid of the box which will provide a window into the works of Bobby’s to be found within. Remastered by Robert Ferbrache, well known for his work with Blood Axis, 16 Horsepower and others.”  last copies from the label!

RED SQUIRRELS

PHILLIP HARRIS

 

From Alaska to Seattle and now resident of Portland, Oregan, Levi Berner (Algiers) has almost secretly unleashed a series of small run cassettes of noise music.  Most recently released through his new label Zen Enthusia, his work recalls the 1980’s glory days of Hands To and The New Blockaders while standing resoundingly in the present.  Using analog open reel tape decks among other sources, he is able to create a full sound unheard in many other contemporary digital noise acts.  Levi has curated this evening’s line up as a Zen Enthuisa showcase. http://www.myspace.com/isitstillasecret

 

Old Ballard resident Jason Young (Red Squirrels) has lived in the same house for something close to fifteen years. The inside is strewn with all manner of folk instrument.  DIY/broken, acoustic/electric, drums, guitars, hurdy-gurdy, tone-generators, tape monsters, delay pedals, homemade speakers… Likewise his records inhabit similar space. Mod Podged sound collage of weird electronics, drones, space noise, raga, Sufi prayers, psych rock, field recordings, etc. Previous efforts have been realized with the likes of At Jennie Richie, Algiers, and a slew of other Seattle musicians including Tiny Vipers and a member (members?) of Kinski. He has had long OOP cassettes and CDRs on labels such as Scumbag Relations, Enteruption, Wasting, and Debacle. http://www.myspace.com/redsquirrelz

 

Phillip Harris recently disappeared into the neither world that is North Portland. Not particularly part of any local scene or genre yet aware of the giants of free jazz, drone, music concrete, etc.Rarely playing out, existing solely outside of the scenester noise circles, yet bringing a reckless abandon to his live performance when given the opportunity. He hails from the psychedelic/psychic wasteland that is Florida. http://www.myspace.com/philipgharris
