Harvey Mick: Five Ways to Say Goodbye [CD]

Widely regarded as one of their finest performances, even by the band members themselves, this concert took place at the Roman Théâtre Antique in Arles. The lineup consisted of the core four members: Schmidt, Michael Karoli, Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay. The band played as part of a festival that included other artists such as Nico and Kevin Ayres. The recording was unearthed from the Spoon Records vaults, after long only existing through the stories of those who were there. To celebrate its first release, it feels only fitting that the sleeve notes include first-hand accounts from people who attended the show. As with the rest of the series, this release captures the unique nature of Can's onstage improvisations. Every show was different, and these recordings offer a fresh look at a band whose creative process never truly finished.

Apparat: A Hum of Maybe [CD]

Originally released in November 2024 as a physical only, limited edition physical boxset, Swans' Live Rope is now being made on CD at retail. A document of the band's US/EU 2023-24 live tours, this material laid the blueprint for the band's most recent studio album, Birthing, released May 2025. Spanning almost 3 hours of trance-inducing melodies that morph into dense walls of sound, the album is anchored by Gira's unmistakable vocals and crafted with longtime collaborators on lap steel, bass, Mellotron and dynamic percussion. Gira proclaims the album was forged" with soul-lacerating commitment and relentless pursuit of our own truth through sound..."

Nu kommer det släppas alla klassiska TG-plattor igen! Anledningen är att denna debut av rang fyller 40 år! Här som dubbelCD där extraCDn har 7 livespår från 1977 plus 2 spår; Zyklon B Zombie och Untitled.

Swans return with a double CD edition of 'Birthing', the latest album, developed over the course of a yearlong 2023-2024 tour. Refined through relentless improvisation and live performance, as well as newly composed studio pieces, 'Birthing' is a testament to Michael Gira's uncompromising sonic vision. Beginning as skeletal acoustic compositions, the songs were gradually expanded and transformed in the studio with longtime live members and collaborators.
