**The LP Strictly Limited to 500 Copies so Out Requests ONLY** Written during a Montreal winter and recorded in Montreal and Iceland, Patrick Watson's 'Wooden Arms' cements him in the territory between serious composer and indie pop artist, with stage charisma to spare. Watson produced the album with his band, bassist Mishka Stein, drummer Robbie Kuster, and guitarist Simon Angell. His last album 'Close to Paradise', which All Music Guide called "entrancing," sold over 100,000 copies worldwide. 'Close to Paradise' won Canada's prestigious Polaris Prize in 2007, beating out offerings from Arcade Fire and Feist, among others. Often compared to Jeff Buckley and Andrew Bird, Watson studied jazz and classical piano in his early years. The band's compositions span expansive chamber pop and beguiling indie-folk, with an unerring ear for melody and texture. Watson and his band created the album's fascinating orchestrations, which include not just the usual instrumental suspects but violin, cello, marimbas, pedal steel, harp, tree branch, plunger, megaphone, and drawers. Whether it's the bicycle-city sound of 'Beijing', or the country evocation of "a hole in the wall" on 'Big Bird In A Small Cage', or the haunting European waltz of the title track, 'Wooden Arms' can be interpreted as the story and sound of a band waking up in strange places; they spent two years on the road after 'Close to Paradise' came out.

Gallic legend Laurent Garnier sits effortless amongst those few, blending techno, deep house, drum n bass and jazzy funk with total ease. Only a very small handful of DJs and producers have the ability to transcend all styles and genres, rising above fleeting trends and cliques creating their very own sonic landscapes. Laurent Garnier is one of them. His latest opus 'Tales of a Kleptomaniac' pushes his already vast musical boundaries further than ever before, showcasing a devilish diversity that has made him one of dance music's greatest assets. From the album's opening track, Laurent takes no prisoners with block party chants, handclaps, thundering 808s, lilting horns, screaming guitars, cut up vocals, tribal percussion, film noir soundtrack vibes, huge drums, crushing bass and laidback twisted jazz flavours. The CD album has an Opendisc application that gives buyers an extra full 55 minutes of original unreleased music composed by Laurent. The 3LP features DJ friendly long versions of the tracks and a download code to get the album free digitally.

http://991.com/buy/productinformation.aspx?StockNumber=468322
"We're trying to do something different. People forget that music doesn't have to be just bass, guitar and drums. It can be just as loud and exciting with glockenspiel and trumpet" - Broken Records. Broken Records are set to release new single and title track to forthcoming debut album 'Until The Earth Begins To Part' on 4AD Records. The group, who formed in Edinburgh at the end of 2006, have already been tipped for greatness by publications as diverse as NME, Q, Clash and Drowned in Sound. A series of three independently released singles released in 2008 led NME to call them "an incredible proposition - set to go stellar as soon as they decide on a lucky label to sign to". 'Until The Earth Begins To Part' in all its impassioned, multiinstrumented glory is indicative of the band's grander, greater sound. Wrapping its big arms around you like an old friend while simultaneously rushing at you with a sound so distinctively new and powerful.

By late '75, they had sold nearly 50 million records. * Harry Nielson's 'One' opens the first LP here and reached No.5 in the US singles chart (later versions of this album were called 'One' to ride on the popularity of the song). * Suitable For Framing contains two Top 10 hits: 'Easy To Be Hard' (US #4), from the rock musical Hair, and 'Eli's Coming' (US #10), written by Laura Nyro.
