Various - STRIKE! - A Counter Records Sampler
(CD/Download) Counter Records COUNTCD030/COUNDNL030, 2009-10-05
Back in 2006 the good people of Ninja Tune decided they wanted to start a rock label. But not any old, boring, run-of-the-mill rock label. Not a rock label pumping out the latest British indie four piece bands, or carefully crafted facsimiles of classic rawk. Not a label peopled by ironic Hoxtonites playing pisstakes of AC/DC. Not a rock label licensing in already-successful US acts and re-packaging them for the UK market. A rock label that took the same irreverent, iconoclastic, vaguely psychedelic attitude towards that type of music as the parent label had taken to various aspects of dance music. The results of this project are just now beginning to reach fruition and what better way to celebrate (and introduce listeners to a rapidly expanding roster) than with a "Pay-No-More-Than-£2.99" sampler showcasing some of the finest moments from the misfits, freaks and visionaries shaping the label's sound?

John Matthias wins PRS New Music Award + announces other projects | Comments: 0
Saturday, April 26 2008
The multi-talented John Matthias is finally getting the attention he deserves. Not content with just releasing the blinding "Stories From The Watercooler" album out on Counter Records on June 2nd, John Matthias has other exciting projects up his sleeve, such as his winning PRS New Music Award entry (the real mercury music prize?), "The Fragmented Orchestra" and the forward thinking classical of "Cortical Songs". John Matthias is a man people need to hear more about, is anyone combining music and science in such innovative ways?
