MC Maguire - Meta-Conspiracy


from Tzadik website:

MC Maguire is a Canadian based composer who has created a personal and quirky hybrid blending classical and popular culture.
The two works presented here are expansive concertos that pit a virtuoso soloist against a complex computer processed background that is constantly in flux.
Featuring David Swan on piano and John Gzowski on electric guitar the music is confrontational, extreme and packed with drama and excitement.

Kawabata Makoto - Inui.4


from VHF Records website:

INUI 4 is the fourth volume in Makoto’s series of occasional solo releases for VHF. While widely and rightly known for ear-splitting Deep Purple style guitar demolition with Acid Mothers Temple, Gong, etc, Kawabata’s INUI works are highly personal and introspective, with lots of room given to cosmic atmosphere and acoustic instruments.
INUI 4 is a single 68 minute track, a slow building and evolving multi-layered swath of acoustic & electric guitars, electronics, and hurdy gurdy.
The final 20 minutes of the track features prominent “glissando” guitar, ala Daevid Allen, a very fine sound to be lost in. Like the other INUI volumes, this includes great pix and design by Makoto and Kawabata Sachiko.

Label: VHF Records
Cat. #: vhf#106
Format: CD
Release date: 2007

Tracklisting:
01 – Ryo (01:07:51)
