Neu 86 !

Digitally remastered edition of these recordings by the Krautrock duo, initially released semi-legally as Neu 4.

After being out of print for years, surviving band member Michael Rother remixed, reworked and remastered the original multi-track tapes, which he has now referred to as ‘our fourth studio album’.

Steven Wilson

Insurgentes

2010 documentary film about prolific musician, songwriter and producer Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) directed by Lasse Hoile.

Insurgentes is a musical road movie that follows the making of his solo record of the same name, and is a portrait of an increasingly rare artist who works with music and media out of love and not for fame and fortune, persisting in making art on his own terms in a world where ‘throw away’ mentality is increasingly becoming the norm.

The film features footage of Wilson with other artists and friends including Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth, Jonas Renkse from Katatonia, the Israeli superstar Aviv Geffen and the legendary producer Trevor Horn.

Steve Hackett

Spectral Mornings

The bulk of the content on this DVD was taken from a performance filmed on November 8th, 1978 for German television.

The concert recording was the last date on the hugely successful tour although only the fourteenth concert the band had played so from a historical point of view this was right at the start of Steve’s solo career and as such captures a moment in time.

As an added bonus we have included tracks filmed at the same time as this performance but for some reason these tracks were not included in the broadcast. These tracks have now been included and the set now represents the actual running order of the complete performance.

The Giles Brothers

1962-67

UK release.

The Giles Brothers are famous for being founders of the band Giles Giles and Fripp, which eventually metamorphosed into King Crimson, one of the giants of Progressive rock.

Mike Giles would be a founder of King Crimson along with Robert Fripp, Ian McDonald and Greg Lake. Peter Giles would also join King Crimson briefly in 1970.

The recordings on this album however come from a period when the Giles brothers were members of a number of pure pop, R n B and soul influenced bands.

Whilst the material is quite unlike anything the Giles brothers were subsequently involved in these recordings are of a historic nature and as individual singles all the tracks are incredibly collectable.

All the tracks come from the personal archives of Peter and Mike Giles and as such are an interesting look into a period of time during the Giles brother’s careers that has previously been less than well documented.

The recordings have all been re mastered for this release giving them the best possible quality and this release is the first release that gathers together all of these historic performances on one disc.
