Intercept Method [VINYL 2 LPs]

Gate, The
Almost Live [CASSETTE + MAGAZINE]
(Imploding Sounds)
A cryptic live document from The Gate's expanded lineup — Dan Peck, Tom Blancarte, Brian Osborne and guests — casting subharmonic dread, electroacoustic rupture, and dirge-like trance into two versions of the same ritual, where Almost Live blurs performance and fabrication and the Marston Mix sinks the remains into deeper, uncharted gloom, accompanied by a fractured visual zine of equal disquiet.

Thomas, Pat / Dominic Lash / Tony Orrell
BleySchool [VINYL]
(577 Records)
Referencing the deceptively simple and memorable melodies of pianist Paul Bley, the trio of Pat Thomas on piano, Dominic Lash on double bass, and Tony Orrell on drums & percussion pay homage to the late pianist through his own work, plus compositions from Cara Bley, Ornette Coleman, Duke Ellington, and one collective improvisation; a sensitive and lyrical modern jazz album.
