About me:
'50minutes' is a compliation album of GOOD music. It is out now in good record shops and on the internet. and all money it makes will go to The Medical Foundation for the Victims of Torture www.torturecare.org.uk . It is an album of fifty minute-long tracks. i.e. every track on it will be exactly one minute long. and it's rather feckin smashing, if i may say so myself full tracklisting and pre-orders and more details at www.exercise1.net/50minutes
We've never been able to quite pin down exactly how the The Hunter Gracchus are going to play on any given occasion, which is a wonderful thing. A shifting unit with Syed Kamran Ali, Fiona Marshall and Jon Marshall at the core, they have recently settled into a fairly stable unit of six, but it's hard to know how long that'll last. Still, while it does, it's producing all manner of magical and highly unexpected performances. The one captured here was recorded at the band's practice room cum gig space, Fagin's Hideout/The Furniture Makers and is a less blistering freakout than some of their recent output, preferring to quietly explore every nook of tonal space. It simmers rather than erupts and, the longer you become immersed in it, the less aware you become of the passage of time. It's a recording that feels like it should go on forever and, when it does come to a close, the silence is shocking. In a time when it's all too easy for a group of improvisers to just go full-tilt in some euphoric pursuit, the Hunter Gracchus provides us with a glowing alternative that draws us slowly in and drowns our senses. This is truly awesome.

This beautiful super-heavyweight LP, which comes packaged in a sweet full-colour sleeve reunites the UK's premier free drummer Alex Neilson, who's played, amongst others, with Motor Ghost, Directing Hand, Trembling Bells, Tight Meat Duo, Josephine Foster, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Jandek, MV&EE, Richard Youngs, Baby Dee and Alastair Galbraith, with Nmperign member Greg Kelley, whose reinvention of the trumpet is as crucial now as Anthony Braxton's reinvention of the sax was 30 years ago. A screeching, soaring, scattergun array of noises come maniacally out of Greg's horn, unlike anything we've ever heard and, with the addition of random stabs of electronics, he successfully straddles no wave, concrete and free jazz in a way that makes those genres seem like trite pigeonholes.

If only you could come to one of these,
Our bass player could finally afford to eat,
If you would be so kind to come to two please,
We could cure our drummer from genital herpes,
If would be so exceedingly lovely and show up at three,
Our singer could full-fill his dreams of fast cars and big titties,
But if you are a real fool, turn up at to all four and buy the CD,
then we can say we owe it all to you at the MTV award ceremonies!
