ARTIST: HAIGH, ROBERT TITLE: Notes and Crossings LABEL: SIREN RECORDS   DESCRIPTION: In the early eighties Robert Haigh released several highly acclaimed albums under the name of SEMA on his own label Le Rey Records. The most notable being 'Three Seasons Only'. He also contributed piano and recordings to various Nurse with Wound projects including: Homotopy to Marie, The Sylvie and Babs Hi-Fi Companion, Spiral Insana. The final release on Le Rey Records was his solo piano album 'A Waltz in Plain C' (CD) in 1989 and after that release Robert left London and settled in Hertfordshire. 20 years have passed since then. "Notes and Crossings" is the album that Robert has jokingly referred to as the follow up to 'A Waltz in Plain C'. “Notes and Crossings” is an album of pure piano music (with some treatments) - there is no use of percussion and electronic sequencing etc. The album is comprised of 14 pieces of written and improvised piano music, including an unreleased (but re-recorded) track from 1989 : 'Tomorrow Never Came'. Robert says : "Piano is my real love and I am excited to have the challenge to work within the (limitless) limitations and expressions of this medium" This is what long-time SEMA listeners expect from Robert Haigh, and will appeal to those who love works by Erik Satie, Claude Debussy and Harold Budd. In an edition 500 copies with hand-made miniature jacket sleeve designed by Faraway Press. ITEM NUMBER: 10516 FORMAT: CD PRICE: $20.39

ARTIST: ORGANUM TITLE: Sorrow LABEL: SIREN RECORDS   DESCRIPTION: SOROW is a new work by David Jackman aka Organum after completing the recent “Holy” trilogy ('Sanctus', 'Amen' and 'Omega'). SOROW is not an album that expands the trilogy still farther, but opens a new chapter in Organum's career. On the basis of the European organ drones and the Indian Tanpura foundation, the gentle Japanese temple bell compliments the piece. It is neither of European Middle Age by a revisionist nor Oriental music composed from a European viewpoint. Its actions are of international minimalism and SOROW is ‘Universal Music’ in the true sense of the word. In an edition 500 copies with high quality gatefold sleeve designed by Jonathan Coleclough. ITEM NUMBER: 11017 FORMAT: CD PRICE: $19.69
