Whisper Number' (PAR 008)
the 5th Air Traffic Controllers full-length is the first to feature London-based drummer Jon Steele (State River Widening), and a return to the very popular "black and white" sleeve format that led to so many dozens of sales for our earliest titles. Minidisc recordings from '99/2000, way fucked. Really. Straight Up. Would We Lie To U? Check out an MP3 from this album.
'Existence Period' (PAR 005)
the 4th album from the New York/New Zealand improvisational duo is a collection of live recordings and radio broadcasts from '98/'99. The album also features a appearance by Army of Ghosts / ARE Weapons member Ryan Noel. Check out an MP3 from this album.
'Assistant To The Assistant' pisses all over the old stuff (unless you've never heard the first 2 ATC CD's, in which case this is a "mature, expansive work"). Features many knobs, switches and buttons.
'Assistant To The Assistant' (PAR 003)

ARMY OF GHOSTS - The Horror (PAR 004) CD
having released 2 vinyl-only albums under the name Ayler's Angels, Army of Ghosts are a New York City-based improvisational jazz duo (sax and drums), utilizing more experimentation in the way of sampling, spoken word interludes and sound collage effects than any of their contemporaries. Having played up and down the eastern U.S. seaboard, sharing stages with the likes of Jackie-O Motherfucker, Peter Brotzmann, Air Traffic Controllers, Tower Recordings and others, they have staked a claim as one of the younger and braver new avant combos. With members of Army of Ghosts coming in and out of new NYC bands like Neon France, Russia and ARE Weapons, they have been accused of spearheading a No Wave revivial of sorts, but the Vietnam-influenced recording of The Horror is much harder to pigeonhole. It could be free jazz filtered through punk, avant rock informed by improvisational jazz, or possibly a terrific conceptual gesture designed to confuse and amaze. Or all of the above.

anti:clockwise - rewatching (PAR 009) CD
Solo recordings from Robert Dennis of New York City, a man whose performances as a member of Tono-Bungay, Eyeball 9000 and Fire In The Kitchen have caused much murmuring and analysis. Murmur no more, restless persons, Robert's one-man whirlwind of chaos, kaos and sound aka anti:clockwise, is now available on easily infringeable compact disc. 'rewatching' fornicates with genres we haven't even learned to spell yet. Puts the "ut" in "debut", though putting the "ut" in connecticut would probably help more people.
