Timothy Leary
Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out
This CD release of Dr. Timothy Leary�s Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out is the first ever reissue of the ESP-Disk� vinyl edition originally released in1966. This unadorned spoken word recording of the 60�s icon, Timothy Leary ("the most dangerous man alive"), was recorded at the famous Millbrook, New York estate just before his residency was ended by repeated raids and arrests by G. Gordon Liddy. Though the album title, Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out, became a clich�d rallying cry for a whole generation, it was presented to the public here for the first time. In this document, he presents his ideas on drugs, current events and cultural phenomena, with recollections of earlier experiences and experiments; all delivered in a straight ahead, quiet manner, even though the content is downright subversive and confrontational. An absolute must for anyone interested in the 1960�s or countercultural thinking of any era.

Gato Barbieri
In Search of Mystery
Gato Barbieri�s debut album as leader was recorded March 15, 1967, on the heels of his work on Don Cherry�s famed Blue Note recordings: Complete Communion and Symphony for Improvisers. This avant-jazz masterpiece from the Argentine tenor saxophonist shows off his volatile, shrieking sound to full and unrelenting affect, fueled by the twin interweaving strings of cellist Calo Scott and bassist Norris Jones (Sirone), and Bobby Kapp�s impressionistic drum splatter. Recorded in one day, the session exemplifies the spirited energy of the times, and remains distinctive and inspiring today.

Cromagnon
Cave Rock
Already commercially successful as tune-smiths for teenyboppers, Austin Grasmere and Brian Elliot approached Bernard Stollman, looking to focus their talents on something more original and unrestrained. Stollman asked, �What would be your theme?� and Elliot replied: �Everything is one.� Bernard said, �Go do it.� What followed was Cromagnon's (Grasmere, Elliot and the Connecticut Tribe) non-linear journey through the subconscious, weaving together bizarre instrumentation and meter with a psychotic blending of musical styles. Bagpipes, pounding percussion, blood-curdling yelps, chanting, laughing, and billowing subterranean rumblings create the otherworldly soundscape that is Cave Rock. Heralded as one of the best freak-out records of all time, Cave Rock was ridiculously ahead of its time and brings to mind the savage sound-fuckery of Nurse with Wound and Throbbing Gristle, as well as the hallucinations of early Red Krayola.

Talibam!
Boogie in the Breeze Blocks
The Brooklyn duo Talibam!�s first ESP Disk� release, Boogie in the Breeze Blocks, is a narrative earful as warped and wonderful as spicy pasta, fresh grapes and caramel crunch. An ensemble record joining 2008�s Thelonious Monk Jazz Institute winner, Jon Irabagon (tenor sax); Peter Evans of Sparks (trumpet); guitarists Chris Forsyth from Peeesseye, Anders Nilson and Chin Chin�s Jeremy Wilms; along with Mostly Other People Do the Killing�s Moppa Elliot on upright bass; all filtered through Talibam! To make music of one voice and cohesion. It is ensemble playing that goes beyond personal choice to capture a mood and the deep anthropology of the strange beauty of contemporary opposing and debt-maxed-out stimuli.
