The New September catalog of Wayside Music, distributor for Cunieform and other fine lables has some releases of interest to the looping community. And unlike us at FNGP they do accept credit cards. FINGERPAINT-Primary Colors: Blue $11.00 Fingerpaint are a electric guitar duo, but they hook their instruments up to so many boxes, toasters & devices that what comes out is mostly unrecognizable as "guitar music", & might be more properly compared to a good Cluster record. I think this is all improvised &, if so, they have spent some time taking out the good parts & collecting it here. THE DARK AETHER PROJECT-Dark Aether Project $12.00 "The D.A.P. music is a blend of progressive, psychedelic, fusion & free-form rock with a heavy improv element." Using Stick/loops, guitar/guitar synth, drums + guest vocals on 3 tracks, the music has influences from the work of Guitarcraft-type bands [Philharmonie, L.O.C.G., Calif. Guitar Trio, etc], but put their own slant on it. Stick player Adam Levin is a big behind-the-scenes supporter of progressive & new music from his work on Baltimore's Orion Concert series as well as the Progressive Rock website. MARKUS REUTER-Taster (Germany) $13.00 Markus is a Warr guitar player who is quite known in "tapping instrument" circles, & may be best known as a member of the Europa String Choir, who have a very nice CD on Discipline. This is a fine release of live looping work, similar in scope to Fripp's "soundscapes" I suppose, but with a totally different sound, due to the instrument involved & Reuter's different style. Wayside has an extensive collection of good hard to find music and are doing a real service to both musicians and listeners.
