	*NEWNEWNEW* TIBETAN RED 'Fouta Djalon' 'Música Mitopoètica Discreta' cd. ref. GMGTSMMSAND014 The new Tibetan Red CD Fouta Djalon presents a mesmerizing journey into the landscapes of Ethnic Music, electronics and exploratory sounds. From the first opening track we are thrown into a swirling massive movement of Ethnic chants and sounds that speak of rituals, celebrations and healing ceremonies that lead the way towards the communality of trance.
	VARIOUS ARTISTS Music by Pau Torres, La Orquesta de la Muerte, Les Anciens, Mil Pesetas, Lrad, Dargelos, Mushka, Marc Egea, Mr. Hubba y el Mono Inventor, Don Simón & Telefunken, The Linn Youki Project, Blue, Oscar Abril Ascaso + Sedcontra, Motor Combo and Rabbit. 'Música Mitopoètica Discreta' cd. ref. gmgtsmmblock013 'Música Mitopoètica Discreta' is a project by Gràcia Territori Sonor with the aim of promoting the new music being produced right now in this area of the Mediterranean. These are young Catalan bands and musicians in whose work we believe.
	VARIOUS ARTISTS Music by Pelayo F. Arrizabalaga, Bernard Donzel-Gargand, Io Casino, Jean-Louis Belmonte, Victor Nubla, Philippe Blanchard. 'Ton plaisir sera le mien El teu plaer serà el meu Tu placer será el mío' cd.ref. BDLN2006 The collectives of Gràcia Territori Sonor (Barcelona) and Studio Forum (Annecy) agreed in the year 2003 to co-produce a disk in which three musicians linked to each collective would create compositions inspired by the silent and gradual worldwide coup d'état that has brought us to a "new" universal "order" in which, regrettably, the first victims have been the freedoms of the individual and of nations. Music never provides solutions nor can it function descriptively. These six pieces touch on the subject, they satirise or comment on a material and spiritual tragedy, but it is this brief introduction that - hopefully - might cause us to reflect. The music can be allowed to speak for itself.
	MARC EGEA - 'Karagöz & Hacivat' cd.ref. gmgtsblock011 Marc Egea extracts from the hurdy gurdy brilliant compositions which gather wonderfully the two "personalities" of this peculiar instrument, gifted with a vibrant spirituality and a worldly character at the same time. Karagöz & Hacivat is the new solo album of this modern "goliard", now fully into the electrification of the instrument and the quest for a style entirely of his own. An interesting sum of findings exposed by means of a sound we feel as close as it is a singular instrument producing it.
	CARTER TUTTI - 'Live concert@LEM Festival October 4, 2003' cd.ref. GMGTSMMGLASS003 The music of Chris Carter and Cosey Fani Tutti is capable of creating a vortex in our plane of existence throughout which an auditory universe where there are no rules is filtered. As members of Throbbing Gristle, the group that conceptualized the industrial music; or by colouring the dance floors with dispelling under the alias of Chris & Cosey, or by redefining the "ambient" as CTI, the ability of this duet to subvert the electronica and, in the meantime, crash any preconceived idea has always been its trademark. They are still doing this, and their first album as Carter Tutti, which captures the concert performed in 2003 LEM Festival, is a good sample of a truly unusual way of reinterpreting the avant-garde under uncanny parameters..

GMGTSMMBLOCK008 LEM's off section features new projects every year. 2002's edition featured a wide range of artists including OSSO BUCCO, SONORA Mty, MARC EGEA, C.D., DON SIMÓN Y TELEFUNKEN, BUICK, HEIDI MORTENSON, BLUE, ÁLVARO CABRERA, ARIES and MAZZA.

	BANDA MUNICIPAL DE BARCELONA Koji Asano, Pascal Comelade - Jakob Draminsky, Pelayo F.Arrizabalaga and Joan Saura cd.ref. GMGTSMMGLASS008 This 60 musicians (wind and percussion) orchestra plays music by Koji Asano, Pascal Comelade / Jakob Draminsky, Pelayo F. Arrizabalaga and Joan Saura, conducted by the own composers. Recorded live at L’Espai Theater in Barcelona the 6th October 2001, during the 5th International LEM Festival in Barcelona.
	TIBETAN RED - 'Tibetan Red' cd.ref. k-100022 That is what many of us have been waiting for years at last on one CD. 3 long tracks including the complete FREEDOM IN A VACUUM tape released in Canada in the mid-eighties. Shamanic voices and instruments recorded in selected ambients and electronically treated to reach depths of intensity you never heard before. Very serious ritual electronic music, this record is a must.
	RAPOON - 'A Day Of Visual Geographics' cd.ref. k-100033 What can we say about RAPOON, except that every release includes a world of its own...This is the complete and unretouched concert that Robin Storey a.k.a. RAPOON performed for the LEM Festival june 1999 in Barcelona, covering pieces from his more than 15 CD releases, after leaving the Zoviet France project. Experimental but also intimate sounds from the earth and the ether, this is no trivial electronica but a magical trip through mental stereoscopic labyrinths.
	PABLO RECHE - 'Gira' cd.ref. k-100043 This young argentinian artist has presented this first album at the Sonar festival 2000: an exploration of electronic fields that shift between different planes and explode freely amid seas of silence. An introspective but healthy work, full of dynamics and intensities in constant variation, that collects his last two years recordings. The music of PABLO RECHE manages to move heart and soul without the need of exploiting the old "noise" tricks. An astonishing opera prima.
	1 = 0 - '1 = 0' cd.ref. SATKCD - 016 Excellent debut of this musician from Barcelona, this record is the result of winning the first prize in the Freestyle Festival 2000 and a good sample of how the new generations of creators have managed to synthetize the seminal musics of the last century and create the music of the present. For all those that believe that the historic minimalism and the actual are extremes of the same journey and for those that can understand that the melody still exists as well as the suggestive rhytms. An inner trip.
	EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC FROM GRACIA (VVAA) << This record is sold out cd.ref. G3AGTS1 This is the first CD by Gràcia Territori Sonor, released in 1996, and it had music from groups and musicians linked professionally and vitally to the Gracia district in Barcelona: Audiopeste, Ivo Naïf, Gringos, Alien Mar, Mohochemie, Ràeo, Macromassa, Pascal Comelade, Koniec, Superelvis, Hiroshi Kobayashi, Jakob Draminsky Højmark, Côclea, and Oriol Perucho.

	ANA BUSTO/SANDRA SEYMOUR - 'Night Fights' cd.ref. k-100032 An exclusive release. This CD is the audio document of her exhibition at METRONOM, november 1999, about the world of boxing and boxers. This is wicked sound art not to be heard by the fainthearted.
