of course there is "interest" in Massacre/Frith/Praxis/Laz recordings past, present & future in official release or bootleg form but idk "we" have any influence or say in any such releases occurring or not. if such existing material is never widely heard then their existence doesn't matter does it?

Awesome effect. He clones himself right in the middle of a song, suddenly or constantly. Howthahell he exactly does that timed so perfectly is any one's guess.

Bill's studio during the recording of Meridiem and suggesting they restart
Massacre with Hayward. Is there anybody that wants to argue that wasn't
great fortune for us? I've thoroughly enjoyed everything I've heard from
them.

He once said during a casual occasion that he passed all the tapes to Tzadik, so they may do a release of the yet unreleased stuff in the shape of a box release. It's already a while ago that he said so ... Readers of the forum have bought the Henry Cow box, so it's clear what "box" means. And to rule out concerns that this formation plays "Ambient" stuff or falls in the category of "Jam Bands?!".

Since it really sounds like an early Praxis live peformance (maybe the first live Praxis ever?!), this could be it.

Re: Nice interview

David Brunelle — 2012-05-21T13:34:39

Thanks for the link.

Glad you like 'Survive'. I thought it came out quite good, and it's nice to
see Hawk release a full-length finally.

The upcoming Jano release "Ertale" is tentatively due on June 26. Great
stuff. Hopefully I'll get the OK to post the artwork somewhere (on the site
or Facebook) soon - unless it happens to show up on Amazon or the like
first. Great Doze piece. Different from the original cover I saw a few
months ago.

Laswell talks about Blixt, MOD technologies and about a studio he has

BTW I think that Hawk's Survive is a good surprise as I thought that 
recent reggae Laswell productions were'nt really exciting.
Probably because of the extremely good Sly & Robbie ridims.

Hawk Vinyl and next MOD Technologies release

Dave Brunelle — 2012-05-15T14:29:00

For anyone who ordered the Garrison Hawk vinyl - thanks for being patient.
I believe Redeye intends to have it out today as it was re-scheduled from
the date that coincided with the CD release. Manufacturing delays because
there was a lot of care put into this (i.e. high quality vinyl, not just a
thrown together release). Will be worth the wait if you're a vinyl fan.

The next release is tentatively scheduled for June 26. Jano's 'Ertale'.
Killer Ethiopian rock band recorded at the new studio in Addis Ababa. This
has been in rotation for me for months. I think it's a killer release. Part
of the planned Method Ethiopia batch of releases. Artwork by Doze Green,
which has been tweaked from the original version I saw and is even better.

Yes - sorry...even though the label is fairly closely aligned with Bill, I shouldn't assume everyone is familiar. 

Stephen has it right. Bill actually lent the money that got the label started. Tons of really great stuff on the label. Skiz has a ton of other balls in the air (published cook books and such) so as a result of that and economics, the label does not release that much anymore.

Spectre is Skiz Fernando, Jr., whose brainchild the WordSound label was,
which released a boxcar full of wonderful, heavy, experimental dub,
particularly in the mid- to late-nineties, by a variety of fascinating
artists (The Bug, Qaballah, Equations of Eternity w/Laswell, Dr. Israel),
including Fernando in many sound guises, including Slotek, the Ill Saint
and Scarab. A writer and critic as well. Laswell appeared on a number of
its releases - its "Crooklyn Dub" compilations might be its greatest legacy
- and I believe helped the label off the ground, too.

I can't remember if I've posted this before, so my apologies if I have
(though it certainly can't hurt to do it again...).

The new Spectre album (vinyl) is ready to go, but needs to be mastered
before it can be released. Skiz has started (actually, a while back
already) a Kickstarter funding campaign in order to get the $3,000 needed
to make that happen. In short (if you are unfamiliar), you basically pledge
to back a project. All the specifics are noted on the page. You are not
charged unless the goal is actually achieved. For a $20 you get a copy of
the record (pretty much in line with new vinyl+shipping prices). So in that
instance it's almost as if you're just paying in advance for product. Seems
like more and more people are doing this to make projects economically
viable. Check out the page, read up, and if you're into it, please donate!
about 2 days left and we're really close...
