Entropy / Codex CDs are limited press run discs that are printed on CDR's with the covers assembled by hand.
Creative Sources $13	Mike Khoury, Gino Robair, Phillip Greenlief, and Dominic Cramp Compassion & Evidence CD Compassion & Evidence is the latest effort of a gathering of veteran improvisers: Mike Khoury (viola), Gino Robair (electronics), Phillip Greenlief (clarinet, sax), and Dominic Cramp(lyra). With the exception of Detroit based Khoury, all improvisers call the Bay Area home. The music is the meeting place between Robair's electronic lightning strikes (ala AMM), Cramp's Live Evil era synth workouts, and the natural sounds of Greenlief's horns and Khoury's viola. At times, Khoury and Greenlief soar over the electronics and wind in and out of the sonic landscape. At other moments, it's not clear if the sounds are being created by an electronic device or an acoustic instrument. Therein lies the beauty. Released in Portugal on the Creative Sources label. Entropy Stereo has copies available for those of you ordering here in the states.

Entropy Codex 003 $10	Strings of Niger Vol II CD
Entropy Codex 004 $10	Chetima Ganga and his DRUMMERS CD
Other Brother Productions 001 $10	Strings of Niger Volume I CD Two long extended improvisations by Mouhammadou Moussa on the three stringed "molo" lute. And one long extended improvisation by Abdou Mohammed on the biram harp. With the explosion of hi-tech Afro-Pop music nowdays, these beautiful subtle solo improvisations hold up well to repeated listenings as well as preserving a rare and threatened musical tradition. Highly recommended.
ARC, England $13	Northwoods Improvisers Spinning CD The second release from this Michigan trio who have been making creative improvised acoustic music for over 20 years. We have this one at a domestic price. "This is brave music you can dance to or hum along with. Spinning is accurately titled; it spins a host of tales so ancient they can no longer be told openly, and offers them in a groove so deep and wide you have no choice as a listener but to sink right in and start moving." - Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
